But the Soul dethrones the tyrant, by perceiving and steadily affirming that the psychic self is no true self at all, not self luminous, but only an object of observation, watched by the serene eyes of the Spiritual Man. BUT THE SOUL DETHRONES THE TYRANT BY PERCEIVING AND STEADFASTLY AFFIRMING THAT THE PSYCHIC SELF IS NO TRUE SELF AT ALL NOT SELF LUMINOUS BUT ONLY AN OBJECT OF OBSERVATION WATCHED BY THE SERENE EYES OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN
he true man observes. Let us under stand this, therefore, and draw ourselves up inwardly to the height of the Spiritual Man, who, standing in the quiet light of the Eternal, looks down serene upon this turmoil of the outer life. One first masters the personality, the “mind,” by thus looking down on it from above, from within; by steadily watching its ebb and flow, as objective, outward, and therefore not the real Self. This standing back is the first step, detachment. The second, to maintain the vantage-ground thus gained, is recollection. 19. The Mind is not self-luminous, since it can be seen as an object. This is a further step toward overthrowing the tyranny of the “mind”: the psychic nature of emotion and mental measuring. This psychic self, the personality, claims to be absolute, asserting that life is for it and through it; it seeks to impose on the whole being of man its narrow, materialistic, faithless view of life and the universe; it would clip the wings of the soaring Soul. UT ONLY A SPECTACLE WHICH THE TRUE MAN OBSERVES LET US UNDERSTAND THIS THEREFORE AND DRAW OURSELVES UP INWARDLY TO THE HEIGHT OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN WHO STANDING IN THE QUIET LIGHT OF THE ETERNAL LOOKS DOWN SERENE UPON THIS TURMOIL OF THE OUTER LIFE ONE FIRST MASTERS THE PERSONALITY THE MIND BY THUS LOOKING DOWN ON IT FROM ABOVE FROM WITHIN BY STEADILY WATCHING ITS EBB AND FLOW AS OBJECTIVE OUTWARD AND THEREFORE NOT THE REAL SELF THIS STANDING BACK IS THE FIRST STEP DETACHMENT THE SECOND TO MAINTAIN THE VANTAGE GROUND THUS GAINED IS RECOLLECTION SUTOR NINETEEN THE MIND IS NOT SELF LUMINOUS SINCE IT CAN BE SEEN AS AN OBJECT THIS IS A FURTHER STEP TOWARD OVERTHROWING THE TYRANNY OF THE MIND THE PSYCHIC NATURE OF EMOTION AND MENTAL MEASURING THE PSYCHIC SELF THE PERSONALITY CLAIMS TO BE ABSOLUTE ASSERTING THAT LIFE IS FOR IT AND THROUGH IT IT SEEKS TO IMPOSE ON THE WHOLE BEING OF MAN ITS NARROW MATERIALISTIC FAITHLESS VIEW OF LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE IT WOULD CLIP THE WINGS OF THE SOARING SOUL
