The typical seeker gets their start by being confused by what is going on around them, and in an attempt to make sense of the madness, they slow down and go within. To me, this act of stillness is very much representative of time/space and is not a coincidence as to how we access it. Indeed, in that stillness ideas and possibility can be surveyed.
Ra describes time/space as an immobile state where change is not possible, yet possibility and the grand overview can be seen. They state that incarnating in space/time allows us to move among those potentials and affect change (71.7).
What is sort of the grand spiritual insight we're consistently told is the answer? We're told that going within is sort of the be-all, end-all answer to everything. We incarnate in space/time to evolve, yet we're told time/space has all the answers. In other words, we equate theory and possibility with knowledge and power. Over the past few years, I've found that the biggest stumbling block to spiritual progression is actually theory by itself..that our spiritual beliefs can limit us.
The insight then is that spiritual beliefs by themselves, no matter how much they resonate, make sense, and/or seem completely logical cannot necessarily be considered knowledge. Therefore, true knowledge, and thus, true power, is gained through experience. One can have all sorts of advanced spiritual ideas about things, but if harmony isn't being created within and around you, then something needs adjusting.
It then seems reasonable that while going within is certainly part of the process, being active and making use of space/time is an equal part of the process as well. As a side note, I think this is related to why many seekers feel frustrated even though we seemingly found our home..we get stuck in time/space. There is a latent power that is built up which needs to be put to use in some form. We incarnated in space/time to be and do..be a painter, build a rocking chair, feed the poor..who knows, just do something
Thoughts?
