This Path of Light and Wisdom offers many challenges - think of them as ‘Tests of Worthiness’, and with each step we take we go through deep transformations - first releasing the dross that is so common in Lower Consciousness; then embracing and integrating the Higher Laws; and finally releasing the Bindings which create Karma... And with each step we grow, expand, deepen our communion with a greater reality and the Beings who guide its unfolding.
Throughout all this we are blessed with teachers and teachings - and while many of them are truly superior [and properly trained], many are not... and some are even so enamored by their ‘status’ that they project their own distortions into the teachings - now picking and choosing that which serves them, and reject - or even rewrite - the Laws to suit their own misguided ego.
So, how do you know who to trust, and who to avoid ?
Simple - just look at their ego.
A true teacher will always guide you to become more and more of who YOU are - and never want you to be a copy of themselves.
A true teacher will never bind you to a rigid format; nor expect you to blindly follow their own rules.
A true teacher is devoid of financial greed, and will never bind you to expensive payments or contracts.
To be a true teacher is hard work, and each is held accountable to a stringent standard... so anyone who markets him/her self as being ‘Advanced’, or - Goddess forbid - being a ‘Master / Avatar / Enlightened...’ then you know that they are far from it - Ego has no place on the Spiritual Path !
Essentially, a true teacher works for Spirit and not for themselves; helping and guiding you for as long as YOU choose... and always, always allowing you the freedom to follow the Path until you decide otherwise.
They know that many only travel for a short distance... and that they have many, many lifetimes to complete their journey.
One thing that they always emphasize is that you must examine your Karmas, without ego nor glamour, so you may achieve the freedom of self-expression, and self determination.
As long as you avoid releasing the restrictions which you have created through your thoughts, words, or deeds, then you cannot operate at your fullest...
Now manifesting your heart’s desires becomes merely a wish, to be embraced as a dream - hopefully achieved in some future life.
I am not here to discourage you from fully manifesting the most wonderfully, joyous life... rather I am pointing out the most basic Law of Creation:- As Within, so Without ... whatever is inside of you will manifest around you.
I am reminded of the person who did a ceremony to manifest the money she needed to start her new business, and was very successful - so much so that she was able to buy all the equipment she needed, without incurring any debt.
The business flourished but within 6 months her store was burgled, her main supplier went bankrupt, took her money but sent her no product, her car broke down, and the building inspectors found problems with her store...which the landlords refused to fix.
So in the end, her Karmas demanded attention and would no be dismissed.
She would have been more successful if she’d first taken care of her Life’s challenges and released those bindings / restrictions... then success would follow spontaneously.
So here’s the lesson:-
While our desires are important, they simply identify our goals.
How we get there must be free from Karmas,
and in full alignment with who we are...
and not who we think we should be.
This Path of Light and Wisdom is one of Truth and Self Determination - release yourself from self-created limitations, and abundantly receive ALL that belongs to you...
And so I ask you, my beloved Brothers and Sisters - What are you worth ...?
Namaste...
