Considerations Ninety-Seven …
The Great Illusions times Two …
- - o-0-O-O-0-o - -
The belief that “this-or-that” is an illusion is a favored topic on the board … and rightfully so. Considering my last two posts … they could be put in the category of “a misunderstanding of a partial truth” … as there is some “truth” to believing they are illusions. The fact that something might be illusionary is only half the battle. The pieces fall into place when one figures out the “why” of it … and the variety of “why this” and “why that” begin to show their similarity and purpose.
So much can be understood in the knowledge of why the Lower Psychic Worlds were created as they were when one plugs in the understanding that much of the purpose is simply to constantly and continuously draw the attention of Soul outside Itself. The deeper understanding of this concept is … all of the Lower Psychic Worlds bodies … physical, emotional, and mental … are *outside* of Soul … out into the materiality and items of these Lower Psychic Worlds … certainly including facts, figures, data, better housing, mates, jobs, social standing, etc.
The fact that Soul can utilize internal words … so to speak … as a facet of Its own tools of communication … blurs the distinction between words as “mental” and that which Soul can use outside of governing mental habits and patterns.
The overwhelming method of gaining external experience is through the senses … what we see ( including reading ) … what we hear … what we touch … what we smell … and what we taste. Many of these “senses” continue on the inner planes … so “reading” on the Astral Plane would be an “outside” experience, etc. Many study at the massive schools on the various dimensions. Even going with the old adage … As above so below … if there are schools of learning here on the physical … they have to “come” from those on the higher dimensions.
To trap Soul in always viewing “outside” Itself is one of the ways the Negative Forces force the impression that “outside forces” control the individual experience. This deepens the illusion … for all that happens is a result of the viewpoints and choices made by the individual. Owing to the fact that these Negative Forces can go back into our past lives to dredge up karmic implications which they wish us to answer for “now” … it is no wonder that many shake their heads as to “Why does this happen to me? I did nothing ( in this lifetime ) to warrant this.”
And that certainly may be true. But to answer for each and every one is the prime directive. To advance in virtue, ethics, morals brings advantage only after working off the previous implications.

A second great illusion … and this one can get rather sticky … is that we must solve our personal problems. For perhaps 99% of our personal path … this seems to be true. It’s about the only way we gain perception that we are “doing something” about bettering ourselves or bringing more harmony into our lives or “conquering the obstacles” and so on.
These Lower Psychic Worlds are designed to bring problems … and the farther one goes on the path … the more problems one will face … and the “difficulty” of these problems become greater … because the Negative Forces will intentionally launch all efforts to get Soul to stumble and return to the “old ways.” There is *nothing* … that the Negative Forces will not do. Nothing.
Ultimately one advanced on the path far enough to gain a good awareness of just what their individual “questionable approaches” to life might be … the ones they consistently fall for and feel guilty for doing so … the ones that just seem to hang on.
Here lies the final and in-depth understanding of detachment. Rather than try to solve and resolve these problems … which will only continue no matter what … and yes … even authentic Masters must face their own problematic issues … one gains ground in it all by learning to be detached from the inner screams of “doing it *this* way” … the old familiar way … and unplug from that … and learn to control the pressures and tendencies and carry out the scenario the way a “higher spiritual student” … perhaps as a higher expression of Greater Spirit … and do what you inwardly know to be the higher expression and not cater to the old familiar ways.
This is not easy.
This … is discipline. This … is detachment.
Admittedly … you get better at it the more you do it … and … if you “do it right” ten times and falter on the eleventh … don’t beat yourself up over that. If you falter on the eleventh and this begins a complete downhill slide … a falling back to the old ways … then certainly this needs to be taken firmly in hand.
There are lots of habits and patterns that we can solve into more positive and beneficial outcomes. Eventually … one begins to ask … do I really need to put in a whole lot of effort and time on this one problem … or can I just set it aside and do what I know needs to be done in spite of these old patterns?
By the time one begins to travel the realms of the 5th Plane … many continue to return to the Lower Psychic Worlds to offer assistance and continue their own service and education. By then … they are fully aware of just what the tendencies of the mind are … and can often keep them on the subdued side … not that they will never bother … but that they will rarely control.
One thing that the individual can learn during all of this is to praise when it “goes right” … and not focus on what is “going wrong.” Soul learns that the Lower Psychic Worlds bodies are more like little children throwing tantrums … and can be brought into line through praise and gratitude. This is obviously only after the individual has gained quite a toehold in it all in the first place.
Learn to resolve what you can … and learn to control the rest. There will always be obstacles, difficulties, hurdles, attacks, pressures, and adversities while walking these Lower Psychic Worlds. The belief that “everything smooths out and will go your way” when reaching lofty levels of study and practice … does not quite hold true … but is a fantastic sales gimmick. Outwardly … these lofty entities may appear unbothered … but inwardly … they are strictly holding to inner disciplines they know must be continued to stay where they are.

Please remember this above all … if a Master ( or anyone ) is true to the *higher* spiritual laws … He will be the very first to say … do *not* accept something simply because I ( or anyone ) says it. As an addendum … He will tell you to go out and find / verify it for yourself … see how it works in your own understanding of Life … does it bring some of the puzzle pieces together into a recognizable, understandable picture.
He can only offer suggestions … such as … if you’re going to go to the desert … you’ll find that it’s a touch warm there. All He … or anyone … can do … is suggest a direction to point your focus. That is one purpose of the term “Wayshower” and even “Light of Life” … as understanding the deeper Truths walks you farther into the Light.
There are intellectuals on this site that could convince a turtle that he does not need a shell. There are plenty of same individuals off-site. They talk a *great* line. In the days before the internet … most learning was done one-on-one. Now … anyone can offer anything … worldwide. There have always been powerful salesmen to wield their trade or beliefs. The karmic implications incurred when misleading others … are far-reaching.
Some on this board may consider me to be the same. Feel free.
On we go.
