Hello world. The following was written 6/22/2016.
Throughout the Spiritual Community there is a belief which is followed of “Not correcting a brother.” A belief anyone correcting a brother “IS” judging their brother. When a brother is sharing with them their Truth, the perspective they are or have experienced something from, the ones hearing this feel as if they are being told they are wrong. In this frame of mind many assume a brother is attacking them. This simply is not true.
Yes, there are many out there who will try to correct others. Telling them they are wrong and need to do and think as they do. Telling them they know what is best for everyone else around them. Using manipulative examples such as: How old are you? This infers, because they may be older than you are, they know better and you should listen to them. BULLSHIT! Do you have a piece of paper saying you know what you know? This infers they believe they have more “knowledge” than you and others, so you should obviously listen to them. BULLSHIT!
I have shared before the differences between knowledge and Knowing. How there are many “teachers” out there who have all kinds of knowledge about this or that. There are very few “teachers” out there who have actual knowing. Knowledge comes from outside of you from things like books, music, movies, discussions. Knowing comes from within through our experiences. It comes from experiencing something and learning from the experience about yourself.
When someone is sharing their experiences with you and the lessons or perspectives they hold of the experience, they are presenting you an opportunity to see your own experience in a different way. They are permitting you an opportunity to choose again and choose differently this time.
As Alex stated here when someone accused him of correcting them.
Alex states, “When you hear or read the words of another shared and they say that 2+2=5. It is an opportunity for you to share the truth that 2+2=4. If that person says that you are judging them then they are not ready to hear the truth. That other person isn’t bad for not accepting the truth, but they are possibly so defended that they cannot hear or see the truth. That’s okay, stand in your light of truth anyways.”
My response, “There comes a point on ones journey when they are no longer the actor on the stage but the observer in the audience. They are the one above the battle field so to speak. For they have given up any thought to judge what they perceive. Instead they simply watch or observe. At times pointing out the fallacy of the beliefs which are being played out before them. Understanding the twisted thinking which is in play and the steps needed to undo this thinking as well. Offering the Truth of what is really at play beneath the waves. The demons below the surface are what is causing these tidal waves of pain and suffering.
It is interesting how all want to shoot the messenger. When all the messenger does is bring the Truth you refuse to hear or see. You damn them to perdition thinking they attack. When in Truth you attack yourself in denial of the Truth they bring. The conflict is within you. It is eating at you from within. Because it is what you are choosing to believe in which is in question now.”
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
