There is a difference between Truth … and knowledge. Knowledge deals with what is going on around you during your current lifetime … the advancements, beliefs and practices of the societies, cultures, within your entire world … the data or information that can be amassed through conventional, popular, available offerings. Knowledge … changes … with the advancement and status of the world you live in.
Truth … does not change. It’s purpose is foundational … and so … all else is built upon it.
An example of a Truth?
Soul … is Soul. No matter what It prefers to believe about Itself or the layers of Life around It … Soul is Soul.
Inner security comes from knowing Truth … not knowledge … since knowledge will always change according to current patterns within the varied cultures … and Lower Psychic / Metaphysical Worlds. Mind will always juggle … tossing possibilities and options into the air like so many colored balls. Many are delightful stances to hold to … others … not so much.
Truth … puts you into a strange predicament. It is *not* easy to hold to actual Truth while everyone else almost believes in its opposite … or its variations … and seems to do quite well regardless. Such is the discipline necessary to walk the far steps of the path.
The path is to teach Soul Itself to hold to Its Truth no matter where It finds Itself. If all of this takes places during incarnations after which Soul Itself has discovered Itself … the individual knows to quickly adapt so as to “blend in” to the culture or society It finds Itself in … and then carries on to assist Life … to the capacity It is capable of … holding to the higher sets of teachings and principles … revealing the latter only to a few. Greater Truth … is NOT … commonly taught. All one has to do is look around and see how much discussion / resistance is found on even the most basic of concepts.
The Law of Silence is much more than just “not speaking” … or finding a quiet space to rest for a while. One must earn the right to be offered the higher teachings and not spread them out to the common surroundings haphazardly. Another aspect of the Law of Silence is to never reveal direct experiences with an authentic Master to others. These direct experiences are given to YoU and *not* to be shared. The higher one goes … the more strict is this demand.
It is difficult enough for those who walk the more advanced steps on the path to get the basic approach of focusing more on the “I will do” more than the “I will not do.” We are taught to focus more on what we do not like … the pains … the displeasures … the losses … the squabbles … the incompatibilities … the differences … that lack of power / control / capability … what we would rather have … the missing supply … how lousy this-or-that is … how difficult it all is … the endless comparisons … how this person is not acting the way * I * want him / her to … etc … endlessly.
We are taught … to complain. Holding strongly to not being sexist here … the resistance against complaining is difficult enough for a male … but the “design” of the female … being based more on the emotions … finds this even more difficult. It is tough being either … but business, politics, and societies prey on the female because they are more easily swayed and led via their emotions. The “emotions” are given to all … but they are stronger in the female so as to tie the female to the infant … which she has been given the responsibility of bearing. Men have their emotions and we have our wrestling matches with them … but begin to lean more towards the mental approaches … which carry their own lessons.
The male-female relationship is not only to bring children into the worlds … but to assist each of us to “face” our opposite … snd hopefully to learn from such experiences.
More tomorrow.
