activity of the soul. It is a thought that connects, exactly like the
process of ‘tuning in’ that we described in Chapter 11. Using this
new mode, when you think of someone, a living connection is
established with him (instead of just getting a postcard image of
him in your mind). When you think of an object, the qualities of
the object become alive in you. And therefore you experience a
completely new palette of feelings, impressions and sensations,
which is the opposite of the sclerotic nature of the mind.
A shift slowly takes place and the old thinking of the mind, the
one based on conditioning and separative consciousness, is gradually
replaced by the thinking of the ‘supermind’, or transubstantiated
astral body, in which the heart plays a central role. You feel
yourself thinking in your heart, just as the old thought process
was previously taking place in your head. This thinking of the
head was disconnected from the Self. Now, thinking and Self have
married in the heart.
Concurrently, a gradual transformation takes place in the blood. In
the beginning, you just notice that you are more aware of your
blood. Then you realize that a conscious life of the Spirit is
starting to shine in the blood. Just as, previously, it was obvious
that the thinking process was all happening in your head, it
becomes obvious that the Self, the Higher Ego, is living in the
blood. Before, your existence was mainly taking place in the
thinking of the mind, in the head. Now you live more and more in
the consciousness of the Self, or Spirit, in the blood. This new
thinking is none other than a thinking of the Self. You therefore
get this clear perception that you are thinking with your blood
and not only your heart.
Do not think these experiences are of a vague and floaty nature,
like a sort of half-real ethereal subjectivity. On the contrary,
these experiences are ‘hyper-dense’ and infinitely more tangible
than anything that was taking place in your consciousness before.
If you look at how you were before the transformation, and
compare it to the Spirit of Life now flowing in your blood, it is as
if you had been walking on the planet like a zombie, not even
knowing how empty your soul was.
A deep sense of Truth develops with the thinking of the blood.
One of the obvious characteristics of the old form of thinking of
the mind was doubt. The mind was doubting all the time. The only
way for the mind to decide whether a proposition was true or not,
