Life is for learning; it’s a big classroom. When certain lessons are learned, we advance to the next grade. Delaying a qualification is certainly hurting one’s growth. Not all of us graduate from lower levels to higher levels at the same time, and one simply cannot hold back to keep another. Others will only get there through lessons learned at their level. This is the only way they will learn. Protecting them is wrong; everyone needs to learn. They will be stronger in the long run, as they will learn to be self-sufficient.
Most people who live with an illusion of reality
Humanity is having a hard time dealing with life through the fog of its emotional responses. They become so emotional that they cannot see situations clearly. Most live with an illusion of what reality really is. Imagine it this way. The illusion is like seeing things through fine curtains that move in the breeze. They prevent one from looking out the prison window at the world around him. Dim shapes can sometimes be made out through the curtains; occasionally the breeze will blow strong enough to allow you to take a look at what is out there, but one must be interested and curious and pay attention or you will not be looking at the right time. Once seen, that real world can never be forgotten and one longs for the day when he can get out of prison and go to that other world.
The Attitude of Joy has been Forgotten
The joy felt on the inner planes is a vague and persistent memory when one is incarnated on the earth plane. It is an elusive longing or longing that nothing in earthly life can satisfy. Joy is an attitude almost unheard of in today’s society. In fact, there is probably only a very small handful of humanity that has ever experienced true joy and only momentarily. Joy is a pure expression of the soul. It is almost a state of ecstasy so beautiful that once experienced, it will never be forgotten. Those who study metaphysics may come closer to doubling joy than others, but only after they have traveled a fair distance along the way. Joy will prevail in the future as babies and young children will not be allowed to forget it as it is today. Joy should be what humanity is striving for, but most of humanity has never felt it, as stated before, therefore cannot even describe it. This is truly a sad state of affairs.
Some Lives are like Bad Dreams – Others Good
In the general picture of your eternal life, the earth is the world of dreams. Some lives are nightmares; some are good When you leave a life on earth, it is as if you are waking up and vividly remembering a dream. In other words, the roles are simply reversed from what they are now. Just as you now learn through your dreams, when you return home to the inner planes, you have (supposedly) learned through your dream life on earth. Regarding the conception of time, the ratio of the time that a dream takes in your life now is the same as the time that your life is now taking from your eternal life.
Sacrifice for others is not the answer
Most people spend their lives thinking that they are doing themselves good by sacrificing everything for others. This is not so, because it deprives others of the necessary lessons. It is a misinterpretation of the teachings of Jesus. The churches have overemphasized this. An individual must have a full and satisfying life or they will develop a martyr complex. Those who display a martyrdom attitude should be encouraged to look within and surface buried attitudes.
The Five D’s are needed: Discipline, Discernment, Discrimination, Discretion and Detachment.
1. Discipline must be applied to ensure that you are using discrimination, discernment and discretion. Leading a disciplined life is not easy, but consider the alternative of having no direction on the path you are on.
2. Discernment means being very aware, alert to pick up on nuances in conversations and feeling for unspoken communication, non-verbal speech. Mental telepathy and intuition honed to the max would be a good way of putting it. It’s easier to see when others aren’t being discerning and discreet than it is to see it in yourself, so be alert and sensitive in your words and actions. Think more about what is happening.
3. Discrimination means picking and choosing only what is best. Separate the wheat from the chaff. This does not mean that you should discriminate against others for reasons of race, color, sex or age, but rather discriminate in the attitudes and state of evolution of others and in their sincerity.
4. Discretion also means using good judgment in your daily contact with other people. Learn to determine, if possible, where they are standing on the road. The use of intuition is also strongly recommended. Think before you talk. Do not rush to jump to conclusions. Let the other person talk and listen to what they say. They are telling you something, but you are going to have to listen more closely to what is being said. Be discreet diplomacy and wisdom.
5. Detachment is basically the same as impersonality only from a broader point of view. Impersonality applies to individual incarnations in personal day-to-day life. Detachment would apply to the general path of the entire incarnation.
Have an open mind important
Remember at all times that thoughts are things. This is very difficult for humanity to understand. Don’t lock up your thoughts; expand them to wonder about everything, but always with an inquisitive, inquisitive attitude. Don’t think concrete thoughts. These are the ones that manifest and come true. Leave an open ending to each thought, such as not putting a period after a sentence; rather, create an open prize. Have an open mind, not a concrete mind. See if this doesn’t help in all relationships, because those associated with you feel the energy of other types of thoughts strongly. Think of yourself as a power station transmitter, sending and receiving.
