Differences between the Groups

Assignment:

In truth there are many differences between groups one and three. Can you name them?   (The Three Groups, Sat Jul 16, 2005)

Here are some of the answers we received:

Sharon gives us quite a few:

  1. Group one operates out of fear whereas group three is motivated by love.
  2. Group one depends on outside authority whereas group one relies on the inward authority of the soul.
  3. Group one needs an authority to teach them whereas group three is capable of self-education.
  4. Group one trusts outer authority over their own intuition whereas group three trusts their higher feelings. Group one does not question authority whereas group three does.
  5. Group one insists he has the ultimate truth and competes for supremacy whereas group three is open and cooperative.

Nirvana tells us:

  1. Group one has flawed reasoning that leads one around in circles whereas group three has sound reasoning that leads toward real truth.
  2. Group three has a real desire to know the truth whereas group one does not.

Thomas names a lot of key words indicating differences. Here are a couple good ones. Group one is listed first and group three second.

  1.  

The last one is particularly good, for the unthinking followers know only the teachings of the past. When a new enlightened teaching surfaces they are afraid to even consider it. Kati also touched upon this.

In addition Kati gives a good one:

  1. Group one may be knowledgeable about the teaching they follow but won't know why, other than that it is what everyone else says, too. Members of group three will know why they believe what they do.

Ruth finishes off with:

  1. Group one can fall prey to a cult. Group three is not likely to.
  2. Group one crystallizes easily, group three is flexible.
  3. Group one will never argue with the top dog whereas group three will challenge anyone.
  4. Group three realizes there is Truth to be found anywhere in any book, movie, song, person, etc once soul contact is utilized and known.

If I were pressed to give a core difference it would be that group three is sensitive to the inner voice and is trusting of it and group three relies on outward authority.

The interesting point of this whole subject is that we see there are many differences between these two groups yet many people cannot see them and will lump them both in the same category. This is just because such people are too lazy to investigate beyond surface seeing and they do not see beyond their own outer authorities that govern their lives.

A person has to break free of outer authority and have some sensitivity to the soul before he can recognize a member of group three. He cannot see that which he cannot understand, but there are many who are capable of understanding who are just too stubborn to see.

Conclusion:

Unity of thought and visions between two or more people is not always evidence of brainwashing or mind control, but among the enlightened it is because of soul contact causing the members of the group to see eye to eye in areas where they look the same direction.

If antidepressant drugs are effective, why don't they work for psychiatrists? Year after year, psychiatrists commit suicide at a higher rate than the general population. Are we to believe that they don't take their own drugs, or that the drugs don't have the benefits attributed to them?  Nicolas Martin, American Iatrogenic Association website
