Turn the Finger
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007I have observed many on a “false peak”. They tend to accuse others of doing the exact same action they are taking. Labeling oneself as a “teacher” and others as “students” is erroneous–wherever we are on our path, we are all students, which is part of us having our 3rd density experience (and the most efficient manner of closing our mind and NOT learning). When we are pointing a finger, it can be used as an example of an experiential path, but most often it is used to label and categorize. Turn that finger around and point it at yourself, then ask the question if your accusation/label, etc. applies to you. One more very important aspect I must point out. As I have described in my “Rule of Irony”, some of us have natural psychic abilities, others must work for them. Simply because someone has these abilities, I do NOT assume them to be more spiritually advanced, as the two are NOT mutually exclusive. These abilities used in the wrong way or the wrong time are not an advantage, but a hinderance . We are often told that psychic/paranormal ability is a gift, or that they are gifted. These abilities are not a “gift”–prior to us incarnating, we have a choice as to whether we will have a natural aptitude (similar to athletic ability or intellectual proclivity), AND when and how much we have. If we have an interest in developing these abilities (which are latent in all of us), we can work for them (Robert Bruce’s NEW system, which he offers free of charge on his Astral Dynamics website [I recommend purchasing his most recent book on internal energy development, which has been labeled Prana, Chi, Ki, Pneuma, Orgone, bioelectricity, etc.] is an excellent place to start). It complements Qigong, Kundalini Yoga, etc. When you encounter another with a belief system, you understand that this could have been derived from completely external sources, a mixture of external/internal sources, or experientially/observationally. Regardless, we realize that this is their path and do not make comments such as “I don’t know where you heard/read/found that bullshit, etc.–at this point we have the choice under the law of allowance to reciprocate or ignore. I’ll offer a primary example. The increase in autism has created a tremendous amount of suffering and has a malevolent cause–it is popular in the “new age” culture to refer to them as “star children”, which they are not. Many of them have access to other realms because they are born without filters that most of us have, but this causes them extreme problems and suffering. Those children who are born with extraordinary knowledge/abilities are sequential/alien incarnates who typically while having the Earther simultaneous experience of not being able to access their identity (know who they are–reference my “Rule of Irony” again), they retain the knowledge and abilities from previous incarnations. It is popular in the “new age” culture to practically worship these children, but what is unrealized is that they are merely “testing the waters” on a vastly different spiritual path. I don’t care what the label attached is, (i.e. “indigo”, “blue ray”, etc.) this is what is happening at this time. Autistic children with savant abilities don’t have the filters that block them from conscious access to areas of knowledge contained in 4th density, and even a well-intentioned attempt to explain to the parents that they are “star children” is misleading in the least, and does not even touch the surface of the pain these people and their loved ones are experiencing. If you believe in superior “star children” as being part of an alien agenda to “save” us, you are entitled to your beliefs. Others may not share them, and it is wise to “turn the finger” before labeling their beliefs and/or observations as “bullshit”. Last but not least, while psychic/metaphysical abilities and the practice of occult (hidden knowledge) is extremely useful, the onus is always on the ADVANCEMENT OF SPIRIT BY EXPERIENCE, not what you can or cannot do with whatever abilities you have. I have observed a number of people with impressive psychic abilities coupled with stagnant spiritual advancement–some of them have balanced lives, others are in a mess, and yet others believe they have reached a level that allows them to attack others beliefs and/or observations. This of course is not a benefit–it is an obstacle. Given enough time and practice, we can all develop these abilities. The finger of these people may be pointed anywhere, the target of the answers you seek is within yourself. Don’t focus on what others are or are not doing other than in an observational, learning manner. About five years ago, I learned a principle which has served me well, and which I sent out to a variety of people in the hope that they would not only make use of it, but offer it to others. I will quote it here, and then elaborate. “Always step back to see the larger picture”. In April 2007, I gave my daughter this advice. If you are observing a picture up close, you are only seeing a part of it–and many people get caught on this small piece of the picture. Step back to observe the larger picture, and continue doing so. In addition to this, I would like to offer this advice. There are lessons everywhere, in the places we least expect to find them. There have been many times since I started the awakening process that I observed what I had “seen” hundreds, perhaps thousands of times before and never “looked” at it from an awakened perspective–shocking was an understatement, but these lessons are nonetheless “hidden” by us simply because we lack the knowledge/wisdom to truly “see”. So there is a forest, and there are trees, and everything in between. Spiritual maturity is far more important than psychic ability, technology, material wealth, etc. What do you “own”? Do you “own” your physical body? You will leave this realm with that of great value, to borrow a biblical term (which I rarely do) “a pearl of great price”, called “EXPERIENCE”. You believe in a higher self, god, etc.? Don’t get lost in the dogmatism of religion, scientism, or politics/government–they are gateways for you to gain enlightenment, spiritual advancement. There is no “one true path”–all paths lead to home. To those of you who believe that there was a big bang which resulted in the myriad of design and consciousness, but that the cause of this “beginning” had no consciousness itself, use a little simplicity. If the answer to this was any closer to you, it would be inside of you. Hmmmm.
