The basics of Being - The 5th Key - Perseverance and Persistence

WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
Perseverance and persistence the key to consistency.
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.839
The first steps into matter have been taken, and the first forms are beginning to emerge.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.759
But creation is not a one time act, not a brief spark, not an impulse that carries itself.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.359
Creation is constant giving, a continuous flow that can only unfold if you are willing to keep investing yourself in it.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:32.000
You have now experienced that your actions so far have changed something in you, not superficially, but profoundly.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.439
Your perception has expanded inexorably across all the past stages.
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:43.200
Remember, even before you entered the first key, you were a different person.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:48.799
Your thoughts, your priorities, your inner focus were completely different.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.079
The first key led you to yourself and gave you the courage to start a new path.
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.920
A path whose consequences you could not foresee at the time.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.600
But you went, step by step.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:09.680
And along the way, you learned about other keys, applied them, integrated them, and implemented them.
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.359
As a result, your consciousness has shifted, reorganized, and sharpened.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.640
The fifth key now calls you into this new phase.
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:29.359
It makes it clear to you that with your expanded consciousness you must see your goal clearly, without evasion, without distraction, without negotiation.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:38.159
Everything you have learned so far has prepared you, but it does not release you from the task of now continuing on this path with consistency.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:44.319
You usually feel the need for the fifth key when you begin to question your own actions.
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.120
You search for the meaning behind your deeds, for the reason behind your steps.
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:57.920
A few weeks ago, this question would not even have crossed your mind, because all your energy had been completely focused on the birth of your idea.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.159
But now, this idea has taken shape.
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.599
And with this shape comes a kind of exhaustion.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:13.199
The question of meaning, unobtrusive and at the same time relentless, confronts you and forces you to reflect.
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.240
What has been created through you so far?
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.520
What has been set in motion through you?
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.000
What does it all really mean?
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.199
Your consciousness has now grown to such an extent that you view your actions with completely new eyes.
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.759
And that is precisely what leads to the feeling of being back at the beginning.
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.919
Doubts begin to stir.
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:37.919
Fears arise.
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.599
Fate and circumstances begin to ask you subtly or very clearly whether you are really ready to move on.
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.360
This is where you decide whether to continue on your path from your deepest consciousness or whether to slow yourself down.
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.560
Be clear, the fifth key is not a gentle companion.
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.080
It is a touchstone.
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.680
It reminds you that the law of resistance is omnipresent.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.800
Resistance is not an enemy, it is a filter.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.400
It tests your will, your clarity, your goal.
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.960
Not just once, but again and again.
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.280
It keeps your consciousness awake.
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:22.479
It forces you not to continue mechanically, but consciously, concentrated, determined.
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.199
But nothing in this world can come into being if you do not overcome resistance.
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.599
Resistance is a necessary fuel.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:38.080
It challenges you and thereby demands your strength, strength for what you do, strength for your path, strength for your creation.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.120
And this strength only arises when you act with all your heart, with complete devotion, with genuine trust.
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:55.199
Resistance tests the strength of your will, but also the state of your inner strength, and you have already learned your strength is decisive for your actions.
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.159
It is your creative power.
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.319
The greater it is, the more you can achieve in this world.
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:08.000
But strength can only be built up if your progress comes from a genuine connection with your heart.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:19.600
If, on the other hand, you have acted without this connection, out of fear, duty, or ego, then you will feel now, at the latest, that you have hardly any strength left.
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.680
Your system collapses, your motivation dries up.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.800
I know many people who are at exactly this point.
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.920
They no longer have the strength to carry their own lives.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.079
They stumble through illness, exhaustion, and loss of meaning.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:43.199
But their bodies, the mouthpiece of the soul, are only trying to tell them that they have chosen the wrong path and never followed it through to the end.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.079
So life ends it for them.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:57.600
Through illness, through accident, through a forced break, everything that stops them is ultimately a hint to finally find the right path, the path of the heart.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:06.160
Only when you are connected, in your heart, in the flow to the source, can cosmic energy flow through you.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.519
It keeps you alive, clear, creative.
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:17.120
If this connection is gone, you become a shadow of yourself, functioning but not alive.
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:26.399
If you have repeatedly chosen not to decide, i.e., not decided at all, you will be forced to your knees now at the latest.
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.079
The fifth key does not accept indecision.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.920
You are called upon to finally make a clear decision.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:40.639
You bear full responsibility for everything that happens to you, consciously or unconsciously.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.600
Be aware of your power to decide.
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.399
Be aware of your responsibility.
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:54.720
Make a decision, despite resistance, despite discomfort, despite the feeling that you are taking a wrong turn.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.360
Make a decision and don't wait for someone else to decide for you.
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.600
There are obstacles in your path.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.879
They need to be removed, not dramatized, not ignored, simply removed.
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.759
Maintain your playful nature.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:18.160
Deal with challenges lightly, think in an uncomplicated way, but never lose sight of the seriousness of your goal.
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.360
Only those who keep their eyes on the prize can successfully shape matter.
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.319
Matter does not respond to impulses.
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.120
Matter responds to repetition, consistency, persistence.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:42.079
The fifth key means that it takes many impulses, many steps, many decisions to truly create something in matter, to truly be a creator.
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.360
Here again we see the critical view of the world's religious representatives.
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.759
In my view, most of them embody the fifth key only in its inner form, but not in its outer form.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.519
They cultivate retreat, silence, meditation.
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.720
But hardly anyone talks about the fact that these inner practices are only part of the way.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:18.079
The long-term path is effect in matter action, implementation, manifestation, being here as a human being with the cosmic power of the divine within you, and translating this power into matter, that is creation.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:25.839
Not in retreat, not in the temple, but here, in real life, in everyday life, in action.
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.279
Thank you for listening, and I look forward to next time.
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.240
Thank you.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.079
Love, Karpivitum.
