The time for accumulating is over / self respect
It could be said that we have waited a while for this statement. Not out of desire but it was always said to be coming. But what is the true significance in this. Some may say it is the little boy crying wolf again. In short, to my understanding, it means that the desert we have just crossed is fading and the plant life is beginning to grow again around us.
Just when we think that God has abandoned us, the energy starts to flow again, meditation becomes easier, and a honeymoon like time returns. Don't come to me if that does not happen, but at some point, the instruments around the world who have been prepared will have to be used at some point. They were not prepared for nothing. The desert is a necessary part of the training, it makes us strong. I will refrain from mentioning the one set of footprints, and the queens necklace.
So, the time for accumulating is over, the time when it is tough, but any gains are multi-fold, any points scored are also multi-fold. When we receive help, the fruits are said to be less because we are not doing so under our own steam. It is not about the Instruments now in that case, it is about serving others. It is about simply letting go and being the instrument and allowing the source to flow through to the needy. Squabbling amongst ourselves is a luxury, while others starve or wonder what it is all about in general. When the many are ready to take, the Instruments who have been prepared will have to be used. The Instruments need to be prepared first, while the many enjoy the full array on offer from the drama.
Nature seems to be entering a state of flux, water is showing signs of drying up, and there is no telling what the human family face tomorrow. Souls are on edge anyway, even if they don't want to face the reality of it all. Who does? Who cares? Well, many. It may be beneficial in the coming future to say past is past and start afresh, based on what we have learnt from the past. I fail to see how anyone could not benefit from powerful and elevated states of mind no matter what the source. When Brahma takes birth, will Shiva still be able to use that soul as an instrument, or will Shiva have to use another, or, others?
It is remembered that God had many arms. Are they physical ones which run around in "service", or is it a memorial of when the Supreme Soul used many instruments? At that point, the accumulation of spiritual wealth would end because they were not moving along under their own steam. Or is all that just hot air about spiritual wealth to get souls making effort? When clearing the Subtle Regions of souls is mentioned, does it bother you? It shouldn't, otherwise you are attached to someone or other in an unhealthy way.
When the guru dies, the game is over, and the same with Subtle Region Guru's. Their time is finite. Get over it. Become what the teacher has come to teach, an elevated master almighty authority and not a spiritual wimp or beggar. Control the environment within and around you spiritually, it is what the teacher is asking, it is not some type of fascist arrogance. We can feel betrayed by God when things turn sour. Only we can change this feeling. It only takes a second.
I am about to flow into the subject of self respect. It is such an important subject, it deserves its own thread, yet we are already on the subject. There is always the 5 virtues thread for more. One of the most important aspects of spiritual practise, transformation, and of course living in this world is self respect. Unfortunately, it may be easier to understand self respect if put in its negative way. Self respect is the opposite of EGO. Why would The Supreme Soul want to have anything to do with me? We don't want to take too long to get over this one. Nor do we want to over play the fact as someone has to do it. Do what? Go around thinking that they are greater than everyone else? I think we have all seen enough of this be it in the self or others.
Each and every soul in the world family IS great. We have the right to think this, if we do it in the appropriate consciousness. And we also have the right to get it wrong until we get it right, then we will see no right and wrong. We will respect others, because we respect ourselves. If we could erase all past experiences we would have no lack of self respect what so ever. No memories, no past lives, no baggage. When we make our weaknesses work for us, there is more satisfaction. When we transform them into their natural state, it cultivates self respect, we begin to feel that we can do it, with a little help perhaps. How much do I have love and respect for my SELF? This is what determines the degree of respect for others of course.
Perhaps true respect requires a glimpse at least of the true natural eternal personality. The awareness of what, and who I am. Such a being is indeed entitled to self respect and respect for and from others, without seeking respect. This is a fine way of chasing it off. Being eternal, never created, and never gone, it is worth taking a moment to think about this, because it is a life changing realisation, for anyone. And to think that we think the things we think, and do the things we do, in comparison to this eternal self. Beautiful self.
Worth caring for and nurturing. If we don't care for the self, the eternal self, who will?
If God has come, it is for our benefit. Do I feel worthy of this act of benevolence? Or is it someone else who is more worthy? We had better get the answer right to this one, or it could be said that we are lacking self respect. Who else can play our role? No one. The souls of the world have not been reached. They don't want it. Need it? well, subjective surely. The time may come when it is all hands on deck and all this waiting and watching and mud slinging, not to mention confusion is going on.
I fear self respect in case it turns to aloof ego as it invariably does, or can do. Well, we had better avoid self respect in future in that case, it must be bad for us, as well as the one who has allowed us a glimpse of it in its true form within the self. Fear of failure could be said to be a lack of respect. A big one at that given that victory is said to be our birthright. Which suggests that help could be on the way. When we lose the eternal self awareness we lose self respect. When we lose the awareness of eternal drama we do so also. Then things can appear heavy.
Peace and wisdom to ALL *
