Of course, if I could be in and delve deeper into There Is None Else Besides Him, I’d reveal everything within that, but I can’t because each second a new portion of the Desire from the Shattering emerges, and this divides the reality into many. I can’t unite it back into one with my brain because my brain is an outcome of that Shattered desire. That’s why I should try to see all things coming from a single source, but then I’ll see that my ability to maintain it is dependent on my connection with others on the same path. Because though I’m shattered, I can begin with uniting with them in this shattered state, whereas the None Else Besides Him I can only relate to when I’ve already started uniting the shattered pieces, beginning with the lightest pieces (the friends in the spiritual group).
If we see a flaw, we nevertheless need to ask; and asking for others is far more effective than asking for oneself, even if I am asking to be corrected.
The problem here is that we haven’t been in a cult and so we don’t know exactly how it works. We think it’s sort of for weak and gullible people, but we see that a wide variety of people got mixed up in them. We don’t fully grasp why. But there are mechanisms in every person that draw one to bow down to a guru. A person thinks he doesn’t want that, but in a part of him, he secretly seeks just that. And if you were such a person and not just asking philosophically you’d soon discover that the group and method here is starkly barren of the defining features of a cult, and then you wouldn’t want to be here. Here, you’ll have no leader to bow to except for the Upper Force, and it’s concealed. Without a revealed Upper One, the lower ones, the group, have no strength to stay together. Therefore you’ll have only the group and only the Upper Force that you yourself build, through free will every step of the way. Get to know it and we’ll see how against every essential feature it’s the opposite of a cult.
Hi Roger,
There are several things we need to sort out here. Is the prayer the same as the intention? When I feel good, why do I feel good? Is it because I’ve done an act of connection? My child feels good when he’s watching YouTube? Am I happy because he’s happy? I don’t want him to be happy from that. He can’t bring me contentment from that.
If I’ve done all that I could to connect, but I haven’t revealed the Upper World, I must conclude that there is more that needs to be done. It could be that all that is left is turning to the Creator – but there must be something. And, in fact, I should every moment think, “What else can I do to advance the friends to connection,” no matter what state I’m in.
