as far as development of my path. i am witnessing the transformation. so what people think they know as your suggesting you do is irrelevant.

I'm not a Buddhist.

Why are you against working with Jesus? Is that a local mind thing that is anti church that you then apply to a Divine being?

I have not told you to do anything. Just to examine things which seems to have hit an issue.

I have also found especially here at SF. It is human nature to think it is okay to not need anyone or anything. You hold on to that pretty tightly my friend.

Can you not tell where others are at? If not, why not and what does that tell you?

Like Dr. Phil often says-how’s that working for you?

It seems for you it’s working just fine.

When people feel you lack or ‘should’ be learning their way, it’s a projection of their focus, what they use to grow. In the end the lack they see you could develop from is either presented as an open offering without any expectations, any need (believing you need this to know more) or it’s offered through the wisdom gained as themselves. Then it’s irrelevant what process defines itself. The wisdom speaks for itself. Often you can tell the difference.

When people become aware everything is within and moves as it’s own process, the external ‘guru’ or divine being’ is simply a ‘recognition’ of essence that we can build as ourselves from within Our own way. The way often gets entangled because we believe with such certainty it works. And if it works for me, it will work for anyone. In the end, those beliefs are what keep us contained by ‘knowing’ and ‘results’ and without beliefs it becomes ‘unknown’ and ‘flow’. We trust in our own process. We trust in what is as it is. We trust in others process, as they are.

(Their are certain personality types who grow through transmissions of others)

I did not say running lacked or should learn in any certain way. I said to examine the resistance he has to certain things.

Some truth to what you said.. but trusting that some people are on the right path because they think they are unicorns.. sorry if i challenge that they are on the right path.

Your view is if someone is doing something dangerous or doing practices that don't work to let them.. i would rather tell them of the dangers and inform them as to why what they are doing isn't working like they want.

A question..

Which view has more compassion.

Letting someone flutter along because it is their path going nowhere or informing them even it if may upset them?

(I am not saying running is going nowhere. Just a general point of helping others.)

at some point it may be a good idea to accept not everybody is on or wish to be on your bandwagon.

Nobody in this entire section is on my bandwagon. I have known that for years.

I know I am pushing you, I didn't think it would get you so upset. That wasn't my intent.

What jumped out for me from the text was this:

That is a very important point imo. to remember, whether one has been 'Shaktipated' or not.

*

energies may be better seen as indefinite number of shades. or vibrations. or as i was putting it subtleness. on the path one is moving towards higher and higher enegies. subtle and subtler energies. this can also be experienced by a transmission which some call shaktipat.

Really it takes a huge weight off your shoulders. No longer feeling like you have to
be special in some way or achieve something other than just being kind to yourself and others.

My answer would be it is more compassionate to let them "flutter along."
Who am I to tell others what they should or should not do?
Freedom is a human right, though some do try to impose their rules and beliefs on others.

You know that when you are driving there is energy in certain places. You have no doubt about it. Those that can feel energy around them can verify it.

You and I can agree on that. It is a fact. It isn't a fantasy, something of the mind or just my path or your path.

I am just sharing the same thing with you is what I was doing.
