thanks for you reply. Firstly, I completely agree (and I suspect most people on this board) with your first point, blind following is never good.
Regarding your other points let me elaborate on my idea that the schism between duality and non-duality may be more apparent than real.I believe that they are explanations operating on fundamentally different levels.
Let me give an everyday example to explain what I mean.Suppose that a mother has a teenage daughter who falls deeply in love and she is jilted.The daughter is devastated, she feels her life is at an end and considers suicide.From her mother's (meta/non-dual) perspective she sees that there will be others, life goes on, part of life's rich tapestry etc etc. It seems to me that we on this board are like bystanders tring to decide who is 'right'. Some of us identify more with the daughter's (duality) perspective and others the mother's meta perspective.
Who is right ? They both are depending on your perspective !
Sure, but in cases like the above, often such challenge is specifically chosen for consciousness growth. Especially by and through our closer relationships with others.
Sometimes involvement with misleading sources is also sometimes chosen for purposes of consciousness growth, but I am also aware that sometimes it's just a consequence of being involved with a world/dimension like this, and I know both in my own experience and tuning into others, our nonphysical guidance teams are not so blase about us getting involved with these limiting sources.
However, it seems, few of us truly listen in a more deep and consistent manner, to those more purely creative levels of being. If there were more who did, both more individuals would be more "enLightened" and the world as a whole would not be quite so imbalanced. Obviously, not enough of us are listening and paying attention enough. It's partly because of the nature of this dimension, there's A LOT of static built up here.
Taking the "metaperspective" is relatively true, of course, and in the longest term, most ultimate perspective, everything will probably work out for the best (but not without effort on our parts!).
Yet, from my experience and communications with differing levels of guidance--especially with the most expanded levels of same, i'm in fundamental disagreement with attitudes about consciousness growth as Bruce Moen expressed.
Those that I've contacted who are intune with the most purely creative and expanded levels of consciousness are not blase and passive about this whole process of consciousness growth. There is an odd admixture of both a detachment, and yet a very real concern and care with the state of this world, and with many individual consciousnesses.
They seem to take and work towards the "sooner is better than later" approach, but at the same time are very patient and extremely understanding when we don't choose or want similar.
The reason why, relates what I said in my reply to Bruce's quote. It's about the healing of the Whole. This is very important, it's the most important thing there is universally and that is The Truth, in all capital and bold letters.
Since these consciousnesses are far more intune than myself, I will err on the side of their perspectives rather than the limited perspectives and perceptions of my own, and of most around me in this world.
Meanwhile, I will likewise try to be patient and very understanding of both my lack of choosing sooner than later, and others, and yet be concerned and active in trying to affect positive change.
It's a delicate balance. More nonphysically focused "guides" or helpers, or whatever you want to call them, tend to do a much better job at this and maintaining this all important, delicate balance than most of us who are more physically focused. It's easier for them, there is less baggage and distortion effect when one is not so intensely involved in with the physical focus.
Albert is a helper that came in from a very expanded and PUL attuned dimension and specifically came as a messenger, but he is intensely involved with the physical, and it's harder for him to achieve and maintain that all important balance. But I'm grateful he chose to come here, because eventually, he will be one who will help facilitate much positive change for this world.
I don't base this on personal opinions, feelings, or inclinations, or intellectual thoughts, etc. but on guidance messages i've received. There was a time when we didn't particularly get along on a more personal level.
I'm not exactly comparing the two btw, but there were many who bashed Yeshua in his day, many who put him down, called him names, said he was ignorant, unwise, crazy, etc. and no doubt some considered him an overly pushy, upstart young man. I would have been one who defended him then.
If one has plumbed their shadow side and has really started to work out the kinks in same, and one is really starting to attune to PUL in a consistent manner, etc., then the opinions, thoughts, etc. of others will not personally bother one, even if such people are saying things as "the truth" or not (which btw, Yeshua often times did, for he was fully intune with it). One personally cares less about what and how others say things to self or those close to self.
Meanwhile, there is much to be gained in the saying of "fake it till you make it."
