So the changing of the feeling of “I” results in a change of reaction, which change of reaction is a change of environment and behavior.
But let me warn you now. A little alteration of mood is not a transformation; it’s not a real change of consciousness. Because as I change my mood for the
moment it can quickly and rapidly be, I would say, replaced by another mood in the reverse direction.
When I say that I was changed, as that gentleman changed his mood, his basic mood, his state of consciousness, it means that having assumed that I am what the moment denied, what my reason denied, that I remain in that state long enough to make that state stable.
So that all of my energies are flowing from that state. I am no longer thinking of that state. I am thinking from that state.
So that wherever a state grows so stable as to definitely expel all of its rivals, then that central, habitual state of consciousness from which I think defines my character and is really a true transformation or change of consciousness.
