This is natural development and must be expected. The apple tree seedling is not expected to produce fruit before its time, and provoking it all day long will not cause it to suddenly blossom. When it reaches its time it will blossom into the fulfillment of its design. And when it does blossom it will appear glorious, and it will stand out from those trees in the orchard that have not yet blossomed. And yet, it will not be arrogance or ego that brings forth the fruit, but its natural design.
Dear Shin'Ar,
You write: "If One understands that they are One, and speaks as One, and shares as One, holding the All to be sacred to them as the One teaches, than criticism of their understanding comes from those who do not believe the same because they have not yet matured into that state of awareness."
You put forth a scenario. An entity renders his outer personality transparent to the infinite one, dismantles the veil, and becomes the drop merged into the ocean. There is no longer any fictitious separate self.
Another entity under the influence of the veil, hypnotized by the dream of individuality and separation, hears the enlightened entity's words and, not grasping their merit and the content-less truth to which they point, criticizes.
This, in my understanding, is not only a possible scenario, but is one that has historically played itself out in this third-density experience many a time.
However, invoking this dynamic does not grant one immunity from criticism. The words, the thoughts, the ideas, the suggestions, the sharings, and the communications of each participant in this forum, myself included, is subject to respectful critical review.
The presence of criticism can - but does not necessarily - indicate a lack of maturation on the part of the entity engaging in criticism.
Thank you for receiving these thoughts. With love/light, GLB
