I just wanted to share an anecdote on my spiritual path. Over the last few days, I have come to a complete personal understanding of being a lighthouse to others, rather than a search light.
Since waking up about a year ago I have been very excited in learning about all the amazing things in our world... PSI phenomena, UFOs... and less transient things such as The Law of One, our individual and group divinity, etc. So excited have I been, that, despite the Confederation's advice of being a lighthouse, I have some times acted as a search light, actively seeking out some (not all) of my friends in an attempt to share with them my "ah ha" topics. These topics have been received with mixed results.
I do not believe I am able to actually violate another human's free will since I am also a human and we co-exist in the same density, but I do now (finally) see the folly in trying to show another what I see as truth. This culminated yesterday as I attempted to show a friend of mine that there is validity in PSI research, citing numerous studies, gov't programs and a hundred other things, even including a skeptic's acceptance that remote viewing has passed scientific rigor. Despite all these things, my friend was still able to think up some reasons why it could all be hogwash. And in light of this (what I see to be) grand self-deception, it hit me on the head that: "of course!" No matter what I show my friend, even if I could read his mind and recite back to him word for word his passing thoughts, he would not believe. Belief is a choice, my friends.
Having this experience has given me context for the Confederation's lighthouse anaology. And that is exactly what I intend to become. A bright one, at that!
I still intend to share my interests and thoughts with others, but on a much less serious basis, and only when I suspect highly that such a person would be interested to begin with. If I share any thoughts at all, I will not peruse the topic if mutual interest is not shown.
What we believe on Earth is what our higher selves has chosen for us to know, so that we might utilize our lessons most fully. So essentially I think so long as it does not lead to harm of others, it really doesn't matter what you believe. If you choose to worship a ham sandwich or you choose to worship yourself and others as divine creator, we all go home to the same place at the end of our shifts.
Namaste
