Many paths seem to be about following either something or
someone else. They often require you to take on certain
assumptions (read - beliefs) to proceed and they often use
passive practices (meditation for example) for exploration and
change. For ourselves we have found that it is best to find
someone who can help you to follow YOURSELF and who can offer
you the tools to do this for yourself both directly and
actively. The main requirements we have found to facilitate
our approach - that is SOUL TRANSFORMATION (SPIRITUAL GROWTH?)
coupled with an intent to move all soul parts into COMPLETE
FREEDOM are as follows.
The
stronger your INTENTION the more you will proceed in
alignment with your DESIRE. If your INTENTION or WILL to
proceed is ambiguous or small then the WILL and INTENTION of
those who present the practices or techniques you use will
take precedence over your own. When this happens then you
are relying on and following someone else's will and not in
fact YOUR OWN. After you have held to a strong INTENTION for
some time (two or three years) then at some point, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that
happens in your life MANIFESTS as a result of this focus.
Everything that then arises in your life is part of the
process to move you completely into full alignment with your
INTENTION and is ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE particularly when it is
presenting you with what you need to deal with within
yourself (that you don't like or don't want to accept) so
that you can then bring yourself into alignment with your
goal.
Faith
in yourself to keep going. Faith in your ability to achieve
everything or if that is too much then faith in the
possibility to develop the abilities to achieve everything.
As you are God or have the ability to be God then it is
better to develop the ability to have faith in yourself as
having faith in either someone else or worse an external God
not only helps to maintain separation but also reduces your
ability to be responsive to yourself. Which brings us to:-
This
will help you understanding that only you are responsible
for you and only you are responsible for what you achieve
within your life. No one else is to blame for what YOU
choose to MANIFEST and EXPERIENCE and no one else is to
blame for what you choose to NOT manifest and experience.
When you pass the responsibility of finding yourself to
others then how will that give YOU the ABILITY to be
RESPONSIVE to YOURSELF.
We have
found that we have become incredibly strong. If we feel that
someone is not treating or dealing with us correctly we say
so and we make sure it is changed or we cut from these people
or beings. In short, part of what is required for this path
to work is that you have to look at all your interactions
and actually deal with all those that are dishonouring. Now, we simply
won't take any shit from anyone. We wont accept anything
less than respect but at the same time we wont give anyone any shit either or treat people
disrespectfully.
Is
a VERY important attribute to either cultivate or enhance.
SELF HONESTY requires that you make changes if you are not moving closer to your GOAL. SELF HONESTY means
that you cannot hide behind YOURSELF and blame stagnation on
OTHERS or on factors OUT THERE. SELF HONESTY means that you
will be HONEST about all parts of YOURSELF whether you like
these parts or not. Self honesty means that you will
always try and look at the illusions you are presenting.
As
these keep you within the boundaries of what you THINK YOU
KNOW or BELIEVE rather than what it is POSSIBLE to KNOW or
DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE then it is not possible to move BEYOND
what you believe or know without LETTING THESE GO COMPLETELY. Try and proceed
then, as if you know NOTHING but are open to EVERYTHING.
We
had not thought of this until recently. But after watching
many, many people run away from themselves, or of fooling
themselves by avoiding areas (either consciously or
otherwise) then we have to say that this path does require a
high level of courage, either initially or again it must be
developed. Too often people cling to what they think is the
truth regarding spiritual growth. To really work to have no
preconceptions or expectations requires that you let go of
everything that you think is right so that you can find out
what really is. That is you must have the intention to step
completely into the unknown and make this intention MANIFEST
ALL THE TIME. This for most people is a very difficult area to
master as it takes much courage to put down everything that
you think you know to stand in nothing and see what arises.
These
ensure that when you experience the FEAR of the UNKNOWN and
the HARDSHIPS of CHANGE you KEEP GOING.
HUMILITY
to help you accept when you MAKE MISTAKES and HUMOUR so that
when you do you neither take yourself nor your path TOO
SERIOUSLY.
We
are not presenting a nice package, neatly wrapped, with a full
instruction manual and detailed video tutorials. We are
presenting you with approaches, energy tools, inner and outer
support and so on to free you from limits and boundaries held
within all parts of your soul resident on absolutely all
levels. You must want to become open to all possibilities, and
when they appear embrace them while at the same time let them
go so that others can emerge. This moves you into freedom, but
in freedom, there is nothing but possibilities and no
certainty, nothing for you to hold onto, no group, no idea, no
philosophy, only yourself. This is a very frightening place to
go for virtually everyone.
