The variety of justifications, rationalizations, excuses, and egotistical claims are virtually endless. In the human state of consciousness … we are exceptional at this. Male or female … young or old … we will feed our own minds and emotions any line of “reasoning” to convince ourselves that we are farther along than we are. We can take it all to a completely “neutral” or “normal” state and tell ourselves that we are right where we need to be … or are supposed to be … and leave it at that.
Please … please remember … this is either being judgmental nor critical. This stance has been intentionally designed just as convincingly as learning 1+1=2. We have books, web sites, philosophical stances, personal videos, any number of individuals within a group that will promote … and hold to … such a stance. They will bring others along that are on the fence … so to speak.
It is not easy for the individual to slowly realize that this is just another step in how one develops courage and strength to move beyond where they currently are.
It is also quite disheartening to realize … that this is happening to YoU … right now … via a set of beliefs or stances that you hold to as you wholly accept them as valid and true.
By the time one ventures into comparative religions, philosophies, theories, mental and emotional possibilities, and alternative beliefs … most any individual can design an opposing viewpoint towards much of ANY-thing if one wishes to play “Devil’s Advocate” … even to and within oneself. Soon you can talk yourself into and out of most anything … even momentarily … just for the recreation and / or power of it.
When and if the individual finally tires and wishes to “step beyond” the masses … to find the “next step” toward Greater Truth … where does one go? The moment you decide on a directional step … your mind can fill you with opposition, doubt, and confusion.
Words that others use are often not a clue. There is a continuation of terms of a “REAL God” or of “Spirit” or of reincarnation and karma, etc. These are facets that are real to all as they walk the Path. They might be divided into specific sub-sections or redefined into vague terms … but it has more to do with how these facets are designed into the Bigger Picture and not just a discussion on their specifics.
Many discover the value and validity of Light as a facet of LIFE … especially within the Lower Psychic / Metaphysical Worlds … since Light is what allows one to *SEE* … inwardly or outwardly. Light gives form … offers recognition.
Those that walk the far reaches of the Path discover that it is Sound that gives life to Light … since Sound provides the initial wavelengths … and wavelengths gather via like attracts like into recognizable forms. Another clue … in the beginning was the Word … not … in the beginning was the spotlight.
On into the weekend. More Monday.
