Of course there is a "downside" to being "touched" by the Law of One,.....at least for me.
The new "awakeness" makes it very hard to fall into some of the old behavior patterns we may have relied upon in dealing with other-self transactions. (At least for me.)
It is almost a voice in the ear saying, "You know better than this." Yes, we are human,....we backslide. But when we do,...there is an awareness of the in-balance, or disharmony we've created that is almost painful. It is more present for me than pre Law of One exposure. It is harder for me to distract myself, or justify to myself things I would have buried with "bread and circuses".
Even harder, is the understanding as it is happening, of the recurring catalyst in our life. The repetition of situations forcing us to see ourselves, and grow.
I try, try, try to avoid and armor against it. It just leads to that nagging uncomfortable feeling of, "You know what your doing here,.....now face it."
What a brilliant, full immersion, Virtual Reality game this seems to be. How pale in comparison the attempts we make at the same types of creation, (Video Games, etc.).
I'm curious if we have had any Buddhist members to the forum? There seems so much in common with both philosophies. Even at the information exchange level.
I'll wager the same effect takes place with Buddhist teachings. A group of people go to a sitting, or teaching,.....and everyone takes away a different level of message. The "density" of information transferred being directly proportional to the level of "understanding" already present in the "learner".
