Thoughts about the Sentence: I Always Remain Relaxed ...

Shortly after the beginning of the second part “…and thereby gain might over myself”, I mentioned a 'curriculum vitae'. I don’t know at this moment, whether you have ever wondered if what we have done or do in general also appropriately defines us, regardless of how elaborately we describe our achievements and favourite pastimes. This is certainly not the case. First of all, we never tell everything – especially not the bad things – and besides, it is only a description of our material-intellectual achievements and at best of our physical fitness. There are still so many unknown sides in us – which make themselves felt occasionally – that we are often taken by surprise.From the Teaching of Spirit, the Teaching of Life and the Teaching of Truth we know that the essence of all the relative knowledge and ability of our predecessor-personalities is stored in the memory of our subconsciousness. Do you think that to know this essence or at least to grasp an inkling of it would advance us in consciousness and contribute something to our self-knowledge – hence to the knowledge about ourselves and who we are? If that’s how you think, then you’re right. In the Spiritual Teaching, Spirit-Lesson no. 144, on page 1777, Billy writes the following:
“…The powers of the unconscious-forms are connected with the powers of the subconsciousness, and the subconsciousness releases its stored knowledge to the consciousness, which then through its own powers translates the received impulses, information, data, ideas, explanations and so forth and so on into action, life and activity. This also applies to self-knowledge, which is stored in the subconsciousness and is released to the consciousness, when the comprehensive block composed of the consciousness, subconsciousness and unconscious forms is fully functional. However, as long as the human being knows nothing of the content of his subconsciousness, he will continue to lack self-knowledge, because the requisite facts for this are only contained therein and must be released from there by the consciousness. If that does not happen, then no self-knowledge can arise and with it no self-realisation, albeit this very factor is among the fundamental needs for each and every human being. …
