Balancing spiritual knowledge and Earth reality
QUESTION: Masters I feel that I am many times paralyzed between spiritual knowledge and Earth reality. This makes me so confused sometimes that I don’t know any more what to believe and it becomes hard to take decisive action. I try to listen to my heart for guidance, but it feels like my heart is silent? Can Masters give me some guidance on the facts I need to be more aware of or what I’m not aware yet and what do you suggest for me in this moment? ~Arttu, Finland
ANSWER: There is no standard or agreed upon definition of spirituality and spiritual terms and ideologies. Every group and every “teacher” or “guru” has their own experiences, which they contend are “the only way” to achieve enlightenment. Exposure to many of these ideas will bring contradictions and conflicts.
Spiritual people are all aspiring to rid themselves of the negativity of the third dimension and ascend into unconditionally loving bliss. The only problem is that you are still in your physical form and, therefore, living in the duality of a 50/50 positive/negative world.
When a soul comes to Earth, they generally do so to learn some lessons about life and the afterlife, or their true essence. Society, into which they come, controls its members through ego judgment. Negativity is the basis for these actions. This causes everything to be rated, graded, and judged. To free oneself from this way of life, one must get out of judgment and use only evaluation: “Is it what I want or not?”
Each person establishes the parameters they need to complete their mission. This is done by creating their own reality – what they are going to believe in and how they are going to live. This is first done by following parents and close associates. Once it is recognized that you can let go of the beliefs of others and establish your own, your choices dictate your world.
Listening to your heart does not generally start a verbal communication but should give you a “feeling” of what resonates with your unconscious. How do you relate to what you are deciding? Does it seem to be something you can live with or is it uncomfortable? That is the way your heart speaks to you.
Stop being so hard on yourself. And stop trying to accept everything that is a piece of someone else’s beliefs. Accept as your reality only what feels good to you. You have complete freedom of choice, which means there are no pre-set rules.
