Jacques,
All the problem is in our perception, which was made this way so that we would feel our existence and now our work is to correct that perception so that we can perceive the whole, integral reality that we are currently in.
Seth@KabUVerena,
Our work is not to convince you of anything and you as a mature person need to test all of this yourself.
Let’s say you came to the best nutrition school in the world and we teach you how to live the optimal nutritional life possible.
After you go out and open your own clinic where people come to you and learn how to live a healthy life and they go on to live healthy lives. So when you drive down the highway and see McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts and KFC and you stop at the gas station and by the register it is rows and rows of high fructose corn syrup. How exactly are you going to help all these people? 40% of the US is obese, so how are you going to walk down the street and not help 4 out of 10 people you see? Are they ready to listen to you? If they listen, do they have the habits to turn their life around after speaking to you?
And how about the hundreds of millions of children living in poverty. Of course we want to feed every single one of them, but when you get up in the morning, which child are you feeding first, the one in your home or are you going out to feed all the other ones?
I’m using extreme examples to illustrate a point.
The goal is to bring love to everyone in the world, and more than that to bring all of reality into a harmonious, integral balance, all people, animals, celestial objects, everything.
We are here learning a method for that.
If you learned a musical instrument, you don’t master it in a day. If you learned anything well in life, you don’t learn it in a day, it takes time.
Similarly, in the spiritual work, we start with the corrections that are closest to us and slowly slowly stabilize those circles and then move to more outer circles.
In whatever path you choose, wishing you good success, it will take us all,
Seth@KabUNatu,
You can’t see in the dark like a bat can. You can’t smell if someone is outside of the door like a dog can.
We don’t have these senses. We don’t have that spiritual sense yet.
What can you do? We do have a will to receive. Start to work with it. Start to identify it everywhere, in everything. Don’t judge it, there is nothing to judge, this is how He made us, but see that everything you do, every thought, every action is governed by your will to receive. See the same will to receive in different degrees operating on the tree outside, on the squirrel running in the grass and in your neighbor. Don’t judge any of them, just see the forces operating. When this starts to come into clear focus, you will begin to feel what the opposite of that might be, what bestowal might be and then you can begin a real prayer to ask from your heart for that thing that we don’t have.
Seth@KabUNatu,
Like puberty, this comes from above, it is a natural process.
Unlike puberty, which comes like clockwork when reach a certain age, this new nature only comes to us after many many efforts in the right direction over time.
Now we are in a preparation period. We have not yet started doing the practical work, you didn’t get your tools to do heart surgery yet, you are still learning about the heart and about the body and later you will actually go into the operating room.
So for now, what is important is that you put a lot of effort into studying the foundations so that they penetrate you and become part of you so that just like when you are driving on the highway, you don’t need to think about how to operate the car, it is second nature, similarly you want to feel what we are studying so that when you get on the spiritual highway, you can work with what is there.
Seth@KabUNatu,
When you look back on your high school friends, you probably don’t spend a lot of time with most of them anymore. At the time, you all sat together 8 hours a day five days a week. Today you have different things going on in your life.
It’s normal that we drift apart from people as our life changes and as our interests change.
However in this situation, it is not good to isolate yourself, you should maintain connection with the people at work and with your family, neighbors, if you play a sport or music, it’s good to stay connected with some people. Of course as your interests change it is not as natural to connect with others who are talking about the weather and the headline news or sports as you are thinking and interested in the meaning of life, but we don’t want to isolate ourselves from society.
On the other hand, as you continue your study, you will have the opportunity to connect with and work with other students who like you are yearning for the meaning of life.
