4,200 posts and not once before has somebody responded to me by telling me how many words I should've responded with.
When it comes to accepting knowledge from others, I've made contact with my higher self and spirit guidance and they've provided me with information. However, I didn't listen to them blindly. I first became well aware of what they are about so I would know that they are trustworthy.
Even then, they understand the importance of self effort when it comes to spiritual growth. Therefore, the impetus has been on me to figure a lot of things out for myself. There have been times when I've asked them about the afterlife and they wouldn't tell me. On some occasions I became annoyed with their lack of response. Then I'd figure things out for myself and found that I found out more this way than if they would've enabled me to take an easy approach and did nothing more than receive an answer from them.
There have been occasions when I figured things out for myself, asked for a confirmation, and my guidance provided it.
This doesn't mean that I've figured everything out completely correct. But so what? I'll have opportunities to correct my understanding in the future. The important thing is that I grow spiritually. This is more important than knowing all of the specifics of subjects such as the nature of realms and Karma.
I asked them about Rulof and they didn't comment. I believe they chose to not respond because they figured it would be best for me to be self reliant and trust my discrimination.
To varying extents I've also considered what various written sources state. But I haven't allowed any of these sources to become like a Bible I won't question.
