23. Jesus said, "I shall choose you, one from a thousand and two from ten thousand, and they will stand as a single one."
I spoke at length on the weekend with some old friends of mine who have moved from the USA, to Australia, and now to New Zealand. They have seen and worked in much of the world, and they are aghast at the degradation of objective cultural norms based on virtue and merit, in favour of politicians appeasing emotional and illogical claims that often come down to positions competing for victimhood status. So much are they upset, that they were considering moving again to yet another Country where they hope for a little less crazy.
Of course, I sympathise greatly with their observations, but have come to find a place of peace amongst the increasing insanity of the public discourse while ever I can maintain a regular meditation practice. (To wit, the late nights and early mornings of the markets are making it difficult to maintain.) However, I realise that without the inward focus on evolving one's awareness, it is very easy to get swept up in the sea of crazy that is continually washing up on the shore of your mind through the echo chamber of the media.
So after receiving a bunch of emails from them today imploring me to read other peoples views on just how nutty the inverted moral compass of politics and media are making things, I decided to respond by way of explaining how nothing can be trusted that is not self-discovered, and I have disconnected from the media and from raging against the obvious insanity of politics. Instead, I suggested I have Revelation 18:4 in mind these days and seek not to engage with the insane, but to sidestep around them, focusing on the good and productive elements in the community. Funnily enough, when you do so, you too will find that your local community is full of very reasonable people to engage with and the craziness is just that little further away.
You may feel I am rambling on a little but the point I wanted to make is relevant to the above, for engaging in one's community is a sign of spiritual maturity, in so much that how one expresses themselves in the world reflects their attainments, or not, in wisdom and spiritual power. The system of personal development through the activation of the Chakra Energy centres I have outlined in this blog, demonstrate how those states of attainment are reflected in the nature of one's engagement with the community and the world they are in and it is up to us individually to pursue our spiritual development to expand the scope of our life, beyond consuming the insanities of the political establishment in their orgy with the media and the commentators making a living deriding them.
But spiritual development can't be attained without doing the work. No amount of moving Country or living in a bunker will help with realising our individual potentials for spiritual attainment. Indeed, mastering oneself is no easy task and takes a concerted and consistent effort to achieve progress, ... but you will progress with the effort. And you will see that progress in the manner you engage with the world about you. For as you regulate your mind and refine its attunement, so to speak, your energy centres become brighter and more clearly defined, manifesting a clearer and brighter existence as per the correspondences with the Chakras.
It is from the inward out, not the outward in, and as no amount of physical relocation can assist, no amount of energising or stimulating your energy centres with Crystals, Tuning Forks, or what have you, will help either. Indeed, it might very well hinder your development by distorting and unbalancing those energy centres, that inturn will be reflected in a distorted and unbalance lived experience.
So too, the over stimulation of our senses and our passions, upset the gentle balance needed to sustain a spiritual practice, but our commitment and dedication are rewarded because it is not easy. And it is meditation, my friends, that is the tool needed to do the inner work necessary to quiet the disturbed mind and subdue one's craving thoughts and desires. In so doing you refine the attunement of your energy centres to regularise the flow of the universal light of the Creator through you, manifesting in the quality of your experiences and how the creation arranges itself around you.
For in that process, the attunement you achieve is in fact a closer alignment with the Creator and the understanding that you are one with the Creator and with the Creation.
With these attainments, you will of course be in the minority. Indeed it will not at all be surprising to you that there is so much insanity in those who are not yet ready to embrace their spiritual development and you will no doubt find your self assisting others find their feet upon the path.
Do these words make any kind of sense now?
