Truth and Judgment
A reader pointed out that it is often painful to face the truth. It is true one must be prepared for some pain to advance in truth — this causes people to be afraid of it.
There is one important point I would like to make. You do not have to be perfect or have the ability to make absolutely correct judgments and decisions to be able to use this power. You must overcome prejudices and fears about these qualities.
The initiates on both the Light and Dark side use these powers. The average people are pretty much controlled or influenced by the judgments and decisions of the Light and Dark side, but are afraid to make them for themselves. This is why Jesus called followers sheep and taught that they needed a good shepherd, not an evil one.
To follow on the Path of Light and use the powers of decision and judgment one must overcome fears and make sure his heart and intentions are pure. Along the path you will make many judgments and decisions that seem less than perfect, but if your intentions are right you will learn from them and master the Third Key of Knowledge, which is “Communion.”
There is a third aspect or ability that you and your higher self possesses, which removes the barriers to communion with the soul or the God within so your judgments will be wise and your decisions will lead you along the most holy of paths. What is this third quality or ability?
We do not leave judgment and decision behind. Your understanding of them should continue to grow for the rest of your life. I just came to a new realization of decision last week and I expect more to come.
Never fear maintaining what you have achieved. Loose yourself in service and do not think about it and God will continue to magnify you beyond your expectations.
Awareness is a good answer. It shows that you have been thinking and contemplating. It is not the key word, but awareness must be present to use the power of the key word. There is no communion without some type awareness.
Before one can make a good decision he must assume the power of judgment, but before one can make an accurate judgment there must be communion with the Spirit of God. We must be aware that there is a universal Spirit to commune with, but we must also clear away the fogs and see through the darkness to see the inner light. What power must we use to do this?
I will add this on the Middle Way. The Middle Way is some point between the two extremes, but not exactly in the middle. It is often close to the midway point, but may also be an extreme position. In each situation it is merely somewhere between the extremes. The only way to find the Middle Way is to gather all knowledge available and force yourself to make a judgment. Even if your judgment is wrong you are following the Middle Way because if your intent is pure the point of truth in the middle will eventually be revealed, because you used judgment which is the power of God in you. Does this feel right to you?
When I was young the words of Jesus which most impressed me where: “Seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened.”
I took this to heart, but after a short period I found that there were questions I asked to which I did not receive an answer.
Then I registered the following parable from Luke:
5 “And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 “For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 “And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 “I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 “For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Luke: 11:5-10
The idea here is that if you persist in asking then God will give you then answer just to shut you up if need be.
I decided to keep on seeking and eventually I did find. Some of my questions took over 20 years of pondering before I received an answer, but the answers did always come. One thing I have learned is that there is no limit to the knowledge that is available to us, and all of us are capable of a soul contact that is able to register and identify all truth.
Sending & Receiving
I have received numerous responses from readers attempting to correct me by saying that we they do not identify with the student-teacher relationship I teach.
Teacher and/or student, male and/or female, send and/or receive all correspond. To say that we are all students and there are no teachers is to say we are all female, or all in a state of reception with no one sending.
Tell me. If no one is sending then what is there to receive? This is equivalent to describing the sound of one hand clapping.
One hand does not clap and one in a receiving state with no sender does not receive. Perhaps this is why contemplation does not work for many. You have to apply both the energies of sending and receiving to make it work.
By definition, if I know something you do not know — a foreign language for example — and I help you learn it then I am your teacher and you are my student. You are not helping me learn the language, I am helping you.
On the other hand, if you know Algebra and I do not and you assist me in learning it then the situation is reversed and you are the teacher and I am the student.
This seems very elementary. I am surprised that some take issue with this. Obviously, there are teachers and there are students in many categories and situations.
If I were to merely teach people the keys with no feedback or contemplation, the average person would find them interesting, but not register the full meaning. “Words veil truth,” and contemplation is necessary to see the truth behind the words. Even the great words of Jesus can be interpreted in a negative light because of illusion. Only contemplation through the soul can reveal their true beauty.
A reader tells me I am overly feminine in my teaching approach. Most accuse me of the opposite. Actually, I see both strong male and female energies involved so I won’t disagree.
Some have a problem with the word teacher. I, for example, have some knowledge that the world as a whole does not have. If I help you achieve that knowledge – does that not put me in a teaching position and you in the student position?
That does not mean, of course, that you do not have things to teach me, but the point I am getting at is that both energies of sending and receiving must be worked with or progression will come to a standstill.
