A Passenger for the Trip

        I want to discuss a difficult topic to completely comprehend.  I am not sure that I can make this clear but it is important for any reader of this blog to understand because it speaks to a good reason for not doing a blog like this.

        With any subject that I cover in this blog, even if I go in depth, (which I seldom do since it is up to the reader to continue to meditate upon and discover truths about each of the things that I talk about), my aim is not to fill you in on the real truths of the path.  Those are for you to discover.  I am not equipped to take you where I haven’t gone myself yet.  For that you must seek the God within.

        In a sense this is simply a primer for the path, a place to dismiss the simpler concerns that come up as you grow in understanding.  It isn’t even a sign post on the road.  It is more like a pit stop to take care of things that need to be periodically dealt with and dismissed so that you can get back to travelling.  That is why there is an email address for you.  So you can ask questions.  The questions don't need to be major.  They can be simply stuff you have been told that you got no real explanation for.  That is the kind of thing I have found to be overlooked by many different paths and that is what I am willing to address, (if and when I am able).

        There is always a far deeper level of revelation, of understanding, of unity with God available to you in your personal relationship with that being that I, myself, am still discovering.  You might think of what I say in these blogs as an ‘introduction’, a 100-level class, if you will, that is only meant to dismiss concerns, to clarify only the most basic information, and does not bring you the true reality of awareness of God in a personal relationship that is vital to your growth and purity.

        Even when I do discuss a topic, do not think at any time that my information complete.  There is always a level of spiritual understanding and revelation about any subject that is yet to be revealed.  Think of it this way.  The ascent up the steps of any topic is on a spiral staircase.  As you climb you keep coming back to the same place but at a higher level.  This is true of the issues we face, the things we are taught, the experiences life throws at us and it is certainly true of any thing I talk about.  I am at a lower level of understanding on the stairs of knowledge.  Some of you who read these blogs and learn from them have a greater momentum in particular areas than I do myself.  But the very thought of one being ‘higher’ or ‘closer to God’ than another is itself a fallacy.

        So, read these blogs, take what you can use, and move upward.  Eventually you will discover that you don’t walk the path to God with your mind.  Eventually you will find that, in order to achieve the highest goal, you leave everything behind – your ideas, your ‘learning’, your opinions, your ego itself.  In a very real sense that is what this blog is about.  I want to address particular subjects that are important only if they become stumbling blocks on your path and dismiss them so that you can get on with the real work.  When you do this, you become free of all personal knowledge that comes from an egoic structure.  So, it is a paradox that we experience.  We gain all this information in order to get to the place where we are able to let all of this go.

        "I didn’t come here of my own accord.  Whoever brought me here will have to come and get me."  I can’t be the driver but I can strive to be a most co-operative passenger for the trip.
