| Awakening  | |
| It is not only feasible, but ultimately necessary for humanity to start Awakening. Otherwise they will Sleep through the best part of the Show. Though it is really quite a simple matter, which involves letting go of the *traditional way* of thinking and behavior, it is the most difficult and arduous and painful task humanity has ever and will ever undertake for they have become quite comfortable in their Sleep and DreamLand. Most all will give up most anything for some cause whether it be noble or foolish, but will refuse to give up even a minor insignificant Cause of their Suffering. "For they know not what they do". They trust the Grand Trickster the conditioned mind rather than Trust their own Divine Nature. They are programmed as such. It is not what they "lack" that keeps them Sleeping, but rather the conditioned notions that they *do not lack*. Our conditioned ideas and images and meaning are all *added* by family and peers and social settings, and such *programming* is rationalized as *learning*. Francis of Assisi said, "give me your child for a year, and he will be mine for the rest of his life". He Understood the treachery and deceit in conditioning, and the awesome control and manipulative powers one has over another when one is conditioned or programmed. Sages of yore spoke in their particular language, and if their particular style happens to "put many off" then that many will not Understand. So it is up to each one of us to go through whatever we must do to Understand them, for it is we who must start our Awakening. WE are the ones who have to Save ourselves with their Pointers. If that is to arduous a task, we are to fast aSleep to be able to Understand it anyway. It is not up to them to speak to us, but rather for us to Understand them. They can knock at the Door, but we must Open it. It is not a matter of "readily adjust their beliefs" but rather to let go of the beliefs all together. We can not Walk the Path holding on to some belief system. And whether the atheist and agnostic admits it, they to are bound by a *belief system*, a belief in this or that or a belief that there is no this or that. A belief is a belief, by any other name is still a belief. WHEN you look around and see people, people of no particular creed or religion or school of thought, just people Working on themselves to get Free from creeds and religions and schools of thought, THEN you will see Awakening. This is the way of *beliefs*, they can be seen as correct to each one of us in our conditioned thinking. But *beliefs* are *opinions*, and both are like butts in that both issue much waste and everyone has one and the best use for them is to sit on them. One can not force Truth upon another, though both beliefs and opinions have established many wars and conflicts to force such beliefs and opinions on others -- causing much pain and Suffering. All one can do is *expose* another to Truth, for Truth can be quite infectious to those susceptible to Truth. The Sleeping, on the other hand, are usually unscathed by such exposure. |
