Ouch! Well, I certainly wasn't expecting a reply with teeth.
Nonetheless, the mind-definitions of these 27 or 22 lessons, archetypes, whatever (as I see it) are further attaching the egoic mind to this dimension. By your response, it would seem that my assessment is accurate. If you feel the need to defend anything, then you're attached to it. I've come to see attachment as a major part of this whole awakening/realization experience, and I feel as though I'm getting better at understanding and identifying the tripping points within what would otherwise be considered very solid spiritual guidance.
I don't have a problem with your beliefs, tone. But the ultimate question is
How do you know you're right? I do, in a sense consider myself a
spiritual thug of sorts, especially amongst spiritual academics who endlessly quote information and guidance they've acquired from various sources. I don't have a problem with organized religion, or even offerings that assist people in getting beyond the limited scope of a single, one-religion explanation. But like many of you, the religions that we may have endorsed for x amount of years have been discarded, like a boat that was used to cross a body of water and is no longer necessary. Trying to use the guidance that was applicable while crossing the water is no longer valid in venturing into this new land. You follow me?
My point is this: We're going to a place that's completely unlike where we've been. All of the rules are changing, the limitations becoming recognized as false and misleading. Our concept of time, that there
must be a linear relationship between the amount of time spent on a particular endeavor and the fruition of those efforts is similarly losing its' credibility. If the way we understand time is different, doesn't that automatically throw out the notion of there being a process? I'm not announcing absolutes, by the way - because there is much I don't know. And I'm okay with saying that I don't know. But what I do know is that we've got a number of things waaay wrong in terms of our relationship to the experience around us, our perception of time, and our identification with the ego. We are not our thoughts, and the ego is leading many of us around like a bull with a nose ring.
When a program/set of lessons/steps to follow/whatever implies an amount of progress, per se - I feel as though the notion of a
process is being endorsed which does two things. #1 - Enforces our false sense of time. #2 - Gives the ego fuel for more misdirection. Ego, while relegated as a
bad thing by many that are on the path can still be inadvertently fed with titles of
realized, or
awakened. An
old soul,
starchild,
sensitive, clairvoyant, etc. When people announce that they are these things, often there is a sense of pride and elite-ness about it. Like,
I have this ability and you don't, nyah, nyah, nyah - nyah, nyah, nyah. No, not everybody is of that energy, but do you see my point? They're simply more distinguishing points that serve to separate and cater to the ego's
desire to
become more.
My contention is that there is nothing to
become. I'm beginning to doubt that all of the books I read were even necessary. I'm sure they helped get me to this point, but I'm finding something that isn't
learned so much as it is
remembered. And it's slippery with these 3d hands and this 3d mind, but it's there - and it's way different from our archaic ideas of
learning.
I wish all peace.
