Considerations 121 …
Why is it so hard? …
- - o-0-O-O-0-o - -
Who hasn’t thought … why is all of this “Truth” or “Reality” stuff easier to learn, accept, and live within? Why is it all so difficult? Why is the “correct” or “ultimate” path so hard to find?
The main reasons why it all seems so “secret” is mainly two-fold … our old beliefs … accepted via many, many previous lifetimes … are founded on slowly-evolving traditions and accepted dogma and these traditions do not include that which is in actuality … the real overview of Existence. It’s simply not taught openly to us. Throughout the eons … those ancient teachers have given us small tidbits or parts of what Existence is … and as soon as they leave that lifetime … the information left by these teachers succumb to the interpretations of those that are left … and the misinterpretations feed upon themselves … slowly degrading … every deepening and leading us farther and farther away from the core principles the accepted lofty teachers left us. Look around … it is happening all around us … and we have the luxury of interacting instantly via the internet. All of this was previously shared by word-of-mouth. The core principles got watered down … then softened even more to make them more accepted … and then even more to draw the masses towards the various sets of teachings until we have what we have today.
Building upon all of this … and knowing the minds reluctance of holding strictly to its preferences as accepted by each individual … very few want to go beyond the traditions and accepted teachings of the religions. These sets of teachings are what the entire structure of the Lower Psychic Worlds are built upon. These sets of teachings are what we use to understand and interpret our daily lives … at whatever state of consciousness we are living within at the moment. We would neither recognize nor accept what is beyond these sets of teachings. It is a very slow unfolding from the high mental sets of teachings … mostly the Eastern traditions … and on up and beyond these teachings into the more mystical teachings … such as the Sikhs or the Essenes or the Gnostics … and it takes forever to work beyond these to eventually begin to uncover and eventually work beyond these esoteric regions.
In the end we end up fighting our own minds … since mind simply cannot accept what is found to be “beyond” the mental regions … no matter what the mind claims to be able to do or understand. Mind does not … and cannot … take itself on up into the true spiritual realms of the Pure God Worlds. Mind will squawk endless that this is untrue. For those that are acceptant of what the Lower Psychic Worlds have to offer … the inquiry is needless. These individuals can simply continue their existence with what works for them at the time. Without a doubt … the mind loves these areas … for indeed … the Lower Psychic Worlds are composed and sustained via the Universal Mind forces. Mind … makes these worlds. Why … would it ever want to leave them? There is an endless fascination of these worlds for mind to ponder, dissect, categorize, analyze, and define. It is a constant mental Disneyland. There is *nothing* wrong with this. This is the natural home base of our educational experiences for each individual lifetime.
Since Soul is unable to distinguish Itself from mind during these times … the mind takes over and runs the entire show … so to speak. Soul becomes a slave to the mind and its beliefs … happily so in the beginning … not so much as we discover and progress on into the higher mental realms of philosophy and religion.
As stated in the last post … we are not taught that there is an entire “set” of dimensions or planes or levels above the Lower Psychic Worlds. This is all pre-manifestation stuff. There is no “form” here … there is no negative element here to bring about structure and form. This has been discussed before. The Pure regions of Existence would be as the white areas of the hour glass … it would all bottleneck as it lowers into the Lower Psychic Worlds starting with the etheric or subconscious areas … and would continue its increasing solidarity as it lowers still into the physical realms.
Mind has always tried to bring the understanding of what would be “beyond” mind and would be found in those mystical and unknown worlds that would be “beyond” mind … down into the mental realms so that they can be mentally understood. This blurs everything together … and can never be resolved by the mind itself. The old adage of “All Paths lead to God … “ … is somewhat true. All the various sets of teachings lead to the bottom of the bottleneck … indeed … all somewhat heading back to the unknown core Existence … but the bottleneck stops this progress … due to various safeguards put in place by the initial design of Existence Itself … and there is such a massive Void right below the bottleneck that it stops all attempts to move beyond it all.
There is no shortcut … there is no sneaky way around it or through it. We cannot claim that we have advanced on through and into the upper areas until we have actually done so … and these steps … for the reasons of keeping these regions pure … can be taken only by being taken into those pure regions by a true authentic Master that has been there before and has earned the right to be called an authentic Master. There are recognizable inner realizations that take place with this ultimate step and entrance can be validated by the experience itself. There are spiritual perceptions … not mental … not emotional … not physical … but spiritual perceptions that one discovers when there … and only there … that proves to Soul Itself that It has indeed entered into another level of Existence.
There is a period at this time when mind discovers that it is losing its control over what the individual is experiencing … and mind will put up a frantic battle … promising ANY-thing … declaring ANY-thing … to maintain its status … and even then … it is up to the individual Soul to hold to Its learned disciplines that got It to that “point” and to gain a strong foothold … so to speak … in a set or regions It has not been into since Soul’s initial and individual creation.
Remember the hourglass scenario. Since everything is due to states of consciousness and various frequencies or vibrations … Existence doesn’t really hold to the “form” of the hourglass … but the image carries the necessary principle. There is a “set” of “Pure Worlds” above the known and taught Lower Psychic Worlds. The constricted middle is not one of size or space … but that of a massive change in the nature of the dimensional levels involved … and this changing restriction is preceded by a massive, deep Void. Few … if any - get by or through this Void unless or until taken through said Void by someone who has done so many times before … or … an authentic Master.
