Meditation helps us to come to a direct knowledge of things as THEY REALLY ARE, without prejudice and WITHOUT ILLUSION.
I am a complete ousider in every sense of the word here and the only thing I have in common with all of you is: SPIRITUALITY. I have never seen anyone of you physically and have never talked to anyone on the phone. I d'ont know anything about all of you except information or pictures that have been freely shared.
It's been more than a year that I am on this forum and this is how I feel about things at the moment:
1) Up to now, I have hardly seen any newcomers (new to spiritualism) that has been talked about. I have tried to keep my eyes wide OPEN and I am still waiting patiently. I say to myself "Spiritual people always say the truth as they are aware of things like karma"
2) It SEEMS to me that there is MUCH MORE that MY eyes can see. There SEEMS to be groups of people, people who know each other etc who are using this forum as a MEDIUM to play some kind of tricks on each other, to appear nice and good, to settle old accounts, catch up with the latest news, mark a point or simply say whatever they think about each other. Things that one does not have the opportunity or dare to say Face to Face.
3) "Love and light" SEEMS to be words like "good morning". Words that we normally say to each other every morning. How many people really wish the other person a REAL GOOD morning every morning ?
4) There SEEMS so many people who are professional in the field of spirituality here. They SEEM to be more interested in what others have to say or share than what they have to say or share.
NOTE that I have said the words SEEMS because I feel it. It is a matter of Heart and not mind. My physical eyes can only see the curtain and not behind it. I read recently that "following the silent voice of the Heart puts you in a position to smell a rat without getting poisoned by your own judgement".
Breaking through the ILLUSION demands COURAGE. We want to hide , ran away as fast as we can, put a screen in front of us or just shut our eyes and ignore it. Seeing THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE HURTS ... as the pain is very uncomfortable and sometimes unbearable.
Putting things UNDER THE CARPET is the EASIEST solution as the pain disappear almost instantly. Everything is then so nice and lovely. Of course, there would be newcomers who would come forward and ask lots of questions and I just have to wait patiently for the rest of my life. Of course, all people who are spiritual professional feel that they are ONE with EVERYTHING and when they say things they really mean it and they want to share their knowledge and experience.
Lifting the veil of ILLUSION makes one feel like a child who has been told that Father Christmas does not exist. The person who DARE to tell the child THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE is instantly taken for the VILAIN. The child wants to slap back the person, call him a liar and PREFER to stay in the ILLUSION as this gives the child a sense of security, belonging and to make the world as he sees it.
Spiritual life is TOUGH as we are constantly breaking through all kinds of ILLUSIONS and seeing OUR REAL NATURE and the REAL NATURE of people and things around us.
WHY BOTHER with meditation is not for me to answer the question for any one of you. Each one is responsible for his or her own life. We ALL have FREEWILL to do whatever we want, to express ourselves the way we want it, to share or not to share, to tell lies or to speak the truth and to do meditation or not to do meditation.
The CHOICE is YOURS. One thing that is for SURE is that we will ALL DIE one day. Just as medition is done ALONE, dying is also ALONE. We die at OUR OWN time and in our OWN WAY. We may have lots of friends and relatives who may be supporting us and giving us lots of love, the REALITY and THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE is that we are the ONLY ONE who has to take the journey back home. Meditation is also the journey back Home but one that has not been imposed on us.
