Pain leads nowhere. If you are in pain, you are living in your head and it is highly unlikely that you will break the spell of the human condition.
These days the words of Jesus lead me to a place of insight and peace.
There is no conflict there, nor is there individual suffering. There is just one way to find this place of insight. You must let go of your emotions, whether they be murderous or pure. Emotions are to be risen above again and again and again.
We leave the world initially, seeking grains of esoteric knowledge. We buy books and listen to YouTube teachers, but we never touch the hem of His Garment that way. We remain asleep and in pain.
If we are lucky, or it is our karma, we throw out the books and even the bits of knowledge that we think we have attained.
Silence welcomes us home, but our stay is momentary and we forget everything in order to have the trinkets of this world.
The price to leave the world is too high, or so we think. And because of that thinking, we endure endless suffering.
We are allowed to suffer for as long as it takes.
And then perhaps one day we get a sight of ourselves in the mirror. How can we love and forgive that image? We don’t have to, for images will always remain unreal.
This is a world of images in which the bad guys kill the good guys and punishment is never given to them. We seethe in justification as we remain in the dream.
Our only hope is to fall to our inner knees and call on something higher to help us.
This is the beginning of humility and we will forget it time and time again.
That is what higher conscious does; it removes the person who is forgetful. In its place is the nothingness that is our birthright. We become the Self in all beings.
Selah.
Have mercy on us, O Lord! Amen.
Amen again!
