Get with the Programme! What’s that about?

There are always lots of questions regarding the spiritual journey and spiritual pathways.

We often do things based on fear, rather than what will give us enlightenment or realization.

Do you want to survive at least, if not thrive?

A lot of life then becomes based on culture, politics, and even religious “rules”, rather than based on a search for the Meaning and the Truth of all life.

In life however, most problematic things can be sorted to some degree.

Even major health issues, like depression and addiction, can be addressed through therapy, rehabilitation, and even medication.

Family and relationship issues can be resolved, or at least we can get to a point of resolution where we know what cannot be changed.

Then life becomes about acceptance, and the serenity prayer begins to make sense.

Always however the person who wishes to avoid pain, also seeks pleasure in life.

Free choice will still take precedence.

So regarding choice, we also have this, we have this concept of karma. We have suffering and pleasure, and success, and failure in proportion to our previous activities, and then our current activities create new karma.

This can be individual, but it can also be collective, and we also tend to fit in with the cultural norms for our particular society and country.

In some places if we do not toe the line on religious matters, we can be killed or jailed for blasphemy!

To move past all the structures, is necessary to find the Realization and Enlightenment that exists beyond.

Then what we get is Knowing, and therefore the essence of the world comes to be perceived very differently.

Then it becomes possible to change things radically, because we are in a place of understanding where we can be active in life, but based on Spiritual Truth to guide us.

This is probably when we get into deep meditation, yoga and our specific spiritual pathways.

Then it’s possible to see the Divine, not as a summary of our knowledge, or outcome of some prayer practice, but as what is: “All-Everything”.

Indeed this can only be all or nothing.

God cannot be all, and not something. Nothing can be excluded.

Light is required to see through the darkness though.

The teacher maybe the Guru.

“Gu” stands for darkness, and “Ru” stands for the piercer of the darkness, the bringer of light.

That is why we have teachers, to bring light to our pathways until we no more need them. We don’t need to put them on a pedestal, or become fanatics, as we just need a little light, so we can get on our way. Thanks very much!

What we see in the light is very difficult different from what we see in the dark.

In the light all is somewhat ok to live with. Sure, even the bad people!

Of course how are you do this is up to you. Follow religion of your choice, or choose what you will as your pathway. The information in this teaching is only “an example”. If it has a value, take of it what you will.

By all means, your way may the only way and the only truth for you.

It’s just normal human behavior to do things from free will or choice.

However when you are in the light, you will not need to judge others.

Neither their spiritual practice, nor their religion, nor their culture, nor their political beliefs-ever!

You will know who you are, and what is Truth, and what the world is around you, (as emanation of the Divine in its entirety).

You will then really understand what your purposes is, and yes, what the human body is all about! However if you deny some part of your life, you won’t be able to see the fullness of the Divine Energy. Part of you stays in darkness.

This goes understanding goes down to the level of physical service, and how you treat your fellow human beings. How you deal with the homeless, the sick and the mentally unwell.

This is not about being like Jesus or the Buddha. Also you don’t have to like anyone particularly. You don’t have to make friends with everyone. But you do need to recognize the Divine in all, and in all persons.

This way of being has always been present, and the great sages and seers, and incarnations, have been on earth to help us to see the pathway, and sometimes to push us gently, (or a lot)

Nature sometimes pushes not so gently, as we see in the present chaos in the world and the potential for a lot of life loss. (Or even planet loss).

The principal remains the same. Remain in your Divine Center, and the world around you, in any circumstance, will be seen by you as but emanation of the Divine Energy.

When you see things that way, you create also a whole new world, that is by your very being, creating a light filled place of serenity and peace.

This activity of your spiritual journey, can even change the tendency of the world, to engage in war and conflict!
