BEING TRUTHFUL


In human beings the realization of the Divine principle inherent in Creation must pass through the mind since the brain is its receptive, perceiving and understanding part.
Therefore, every human being is being driven to achieve this goal, even though not everyone might be consciously aware of it and willing to acknowledge it to them-selves – as yet. For this reason the seeking of knowledge is a universal instinct that is driving all of mankind onwards. However, if unrecognized fear in an individual is dominating the personal life this primordial urge is being disfigured and the acquisition of knowledge remains a mere theoretical game with which to divert and strengthen the Ego. Furthermore, to own theoretical knowledge tricks you into believing that you are safer the more you have stored because “you know”. Whereas in fact you are remaining the victim of your hidden fears because theoretical knowledge cannot resolve them. And as such still as little able to cope with every single situation of your personal life without having to resort to some escape strategy in order to duck away from confronting your fears directly. The most common way to avoid truthful confrontation with one’s self and one’s personal fears is to drink alcohol, or to seek diversions like excessively watching movies, reading novels, listening to music, going out with friends, having sex, creating relationship dramas, etc.
Theoretical knowledge is only of use if it is being put into practise in everyday existence. Only by doing so can realization of God grow in the self.
To achieve spiritual insights and an enhances vision of life mentally but lacking the courage, the trust and the strength to put them to the test in a practical manner and to integrate them into your personal life is like buying an expensive winter coat in an icy climate but to rather lock it away in a cupboard and continue to suffer from cold. Rather than to wear it and risking, that it might prove not be as protective as you hoped or thought it would be. And to attain self-knowledge which is enabling you to better realize your own truth but to still act in a way you have really out-grown and which is violating your natural boundaries, is like knowing that you have an umbrella at home but still walk out into the rain bareheaded and suffer from cold afterwards.

REFLECTIONS

All things are here-now and can only be Now because, time is but a mirror in which your progress of consciousness is reflected. It could thus be said, that time and place are a wholly subjective experience. If your consciousness is burdened and obscured by feelings, thoughts and impressions of the senses arising unconsciously and/or personal identification with them, you will feel the restrictions of time and place weighing heavily upon you and your daily existance. Whereas if your consciousness is highly atuned to the reality of Divine Light, Love and Truth, it casts no more tangible reflections in the mirror of time and place. Time and place, having thus lost their substance for you, will become a reality which no longer hinders your Spirit's progress in this world of matter. Living in the eternal Now and having realized the power lying therein, you have become its master. Divine Love, Light and Truth only exist in here-now. Therfore, identification with your thoughts...

LOVE THE DARKNESS

Without darkness light cannot be perceived as light. And regarding Nature, without Winter there would be no Summer, without rain and sunshine no growth. When it the periods of darkness outside are growing longer as the year is approaching the winter solstice, do not complain but rather take the opportunity to look for the light shining inside of you. And to practise your vision of the etheric light that is surrounding living things and beings - even in darkness. The "dark" season of the solar year, when the nights are longer than the days, is the time for internal growth, development of the inner vision of (Divine) light. If you do not follow this natural shift of energy of your own accord, personal conditionings are becoming felt as over-powering and you are experiencing depression/ stress/mood-swings/frustration etc. Take Mother Nature for your ideal. She is showing us that Autumn time is the time to let go of external things and to withdraw into yourself and to increasi...
