Thanks for your more considered response Swoods but obviously I disagree. The point I didn't make here which I have made elsewhere is that the awakening process has absolutely nothing to do with the belief in conspiracy theories. Indeed, the truth movement has completely hijacked the awakening process making it about themselves and if you don't reach their conclusions then you're not finished or on the wrong path or still naive or gullible or whatnot.Posted by swoods_blue (here)
iamnoone,
I think you need to keep on going, iamnoone. You're on the right path. Awakening is an invisible process. It's peeling away layers of deception, methodically. And then it's getting to know yourself. And then peeling away layers of deception. And then getting to know yourself.
I would make this very simple suggestion: Change the questions in your own mind that you are asking of the Universe. In a moment of reflection, put out the request that you'd like a clearer picture of what you can do. Ask for wisdom, or ask for a mission. Heck, just ask the Universe to lead you to a good book. Say it out loud if you like. Then keep your eyes open. I know it sounds hokey at first. But it does work.
You might start by going back to the beginning of this thread and reading each post very deliberately. I think you'll find some clues here.
Best wishes.
Here's the thing, the awakening process is about waking up to yourself or your true nature as a spiritual or energetic being and this is something you ARE not something you read or believe in. It is a palpable process. You can literally feel the energy coursing through your veins. You can feel the chakras. You can feel the nadis. Most importantly you can SEE the truth because you are no longer bound your ego and your conditioning. Our ideas about ourselves and the nature of spirituality and the universe exist because we understand it experientially. We understand our connectedness to all because we can literally FEEL the connection to others and the universe not because we read we were all connected on a website somewhere.
And this is exactly as it should be. Where everyone is awake we are not separated by petty differences of opinion, we are firm in our surety and understanding and we can stand together to do what needs to be done to effect the change this world needs.
Those in the truth movement are not enlightened saviours, they are serving their own agendas and what that is can't be determined by their personality or their presentation. Some of them may have the best of intentions having been duped themselves but as a whole, the movement divides and we know this simply because of the sheer number of problems and conspiracies the movement uncovers most of which contradicts each other. There is no possible way any of us can ever begin to fight the challenges posited by the truth movement and we spend the rest of our existences fighting about who to believe and what to do. The movement is paralysing. How do we know the movement is paralysing? Because NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Be honest. How much time have you wasted over your lifetime trying to get to 'truth', you know, that your government, rich people and big business might not always have your best interests at heart? How much time have you spent actually doing something about it (not including talking to people over the internet)?
I'm not saying that all of the information within the truth movement isn't true, I'm saying that it doesn't matter and anyone who is truly awakened, truly enlightened would know that. If you want to change the world, you need to reach the people who have the power to change it and you aren't going to do that by trying to convince them that the elite are actually our reptilian overlords.
If you can't see this for what it is, I can't help you.
