I will when I stop posting here. When the LARP'ers run free and those who do not understand take over then you will miss what I brought onto the table.
Quote:Your constant claims of greatness do not impress me, and your continued insistence that you are superior to others, or beyond others, undermines the claim that you’ve gained understanding.
That is a distortion to what my real intent was. I told you these things because this is how I work. I work using truth, and in using truth, in going up against people who do not speak the truth, can there really be a true understanding, an everlasting change for the better.
Quote:It’s easy to say you’re a 5D Wanderer, but when your words and behavior run counter to the understanding a fifth density entity should have, it’s difficult to take you seriously.
How do you know what a 5th density entity is supposed to be like or not be like? 5th density aside, I am human, just like you. It is not my job to be my true 5th density self. It is my job to be ME, MYSELF because in being me, I am also playing out my true self's pre-incarnative decisions, or plan. There is a purpose for this and for everything that I do. I'm sorry to tell you that all the people I know in my life have been better off with me in it then me without it. That's the impact I've had on people.
Quote:while demanding others recognize their greatness.
I have not done so and you cannot quote me to that effect. You recognize greatness because that's what it is. I'm proud of my accomplishments. Can you walk up to Billy Ray Cyrus and tell him the same thing you told me? Would he be "demanding" of his greatness just because he's proud of his accomplishments?
I totally relate to you right now.
I had a serious problem with many spiritual parables that follow a particular formula where a spiritual master tests an immature person.
The formula usually goes something like:
Master asks favor of immature person that is a complete stranger. Immature person surprises spiritual master by being humble and/or compassionate. Master rewards immature person with miraculous ability!!
The master then lets the immature person live out his/her life letting that miracle get to his/her head. Master forewarns never to use it incorrectly.
Immature person lets ability get to his/her head. The ability enables many undesirable qualities of the person, and he mistakes it for authority over mundane matters by using it like a deus-ex-machina!
The master then crosses paths and severely punishes the immature person for making the mistakes he so strongly warned against. Often this punishment can be worse than death itself.
I always hated spiritual masters in this silly formula. Now I see that it's probably just a symptom of being passed down and re-told so many times to lend to dramatic effect.
I feel now that the moral of the story is more important than the details, much like physical events matter less than their meaning.
To me, my problems with this formula were that:
- He's a spiritual master and cannot foresee his foolish decision to give an immature person a miraculous ability? How does he feel authority to punish what should have been obvious?
- The immature person is completely valid in every stance and misunderstanding he/she has at that moment. If the spiritual master were to wear the "incarnated mask" of that individual and take every step and live in his/her shoes, I'm sure he'd still make similar flaws and be unequipped to pass a silly test like that!
- Why isn't the master held responsible for gaslighting a clearly immature person? Did the spiritual master simply find it fun to plan this entire chain of events so he can say "I told you so"?
It's all a matter of perspective! And it is truly folly for even a spiritual master to scorn a student, disciple, and especially a stranger for nearly any assumption simply because if that spiritual master is incarnated, they cannot know how it is to be that person. If the master did, it would be abundantly clear how valid the misunderstandings and flaws are. I have always felt very vindictive about this. I have caused a lot of suffering and pain by lashing out to uphold this strong feeling of my own. I have always felt justified by this strong sense of justice, only to recently realize how distorted my quest was!
And here I can see you doing something similar. You are completely valid in your stance!
And everything you are saying is true.
I would wager everyone and everything works in truth and light. Distortions are distortions of light -- how can they be composed of darkness? Darkness is merely a lack of light and truth.
You did do great things. I feel you are valid in your stance and even your approach. It is not easy to stand your ground and insist what you know to be the truth. You achieved your current understanding of Truth through many tribulations and trials and experiences! It is truly admirable of you, and I say that quite honestly!!
I know because I have struggled to find my voice! Even on this forum I have (until recently) held my 'tongue' and preferred not to share my thoughts. I sensed I was petty or could be proven wrong. I have learned quite frequently that I never truly know 100%. So often even miraculous things have shown me my folly. The universe has an interesting sense of humor!
I hope I noticed how you feel. You have every right to feel that way. You are justified in your own way.
And so are the people you are arguing with! I feel this does have a lot of potential for spiritual growth from deep introspection on both sides.
I wish you peace!
