Shaping Approach to Godness
The representation of information is always less than the best possible representation of information. So as I write, keep it in mind. To begin: All is Consciousness and Consciousness is all. This is old knowledge. The Yoga Vasistha aka The Supreme Yoga, has been a great clarifying element in my life for a good year now. I have a brother who has been drilling me on Khemet as well. The subject and exercise of Comparative Religion has been my stance for many years now. Therefore, I do not commit to a religion. I utilise the information found within but do not exclude the lessons outside its confines. This has made all knowledge not only neutral, but much clearer as I watch and acknowledge knowledge with an observer’s eye and not a believer’s.
What
have I seen? I’ve seen that God is not its name. God is not gender. It
is a culmination of the things we know and the gaps in our knowledge. It
is a reflective surface that exposes more than any mirror we can
manufacture. I will not reference deep ancient texts or religious
movements. The titles we attach to wisdom and knowledge will (and have)
mislead and divide us. There is no superiority in this universe we live
in. All objects serve their full purpose. The human object is the one
still within the process of full attained knowledge to its purpose. The
lessons I have learned from the most humble humans is that we cannot
lean too much on our knowledge.
The
Muslim knows from early lessons that there are some things that cannot
be pronounced, like the hidden names of Allah. There are some things
that deserve humility to know. The Vedas knew that silence can serve as
the most poignant answer to a question. We can be more by reducing our
selves to less. The Abrahamic faiths draw the contrast and the clash
here. It seems that other schools support, condone and train the ability
for man to attain godhead, while the Abrahamic faiths seem to show a
god that demands servants and subservience. Man deserves to be more.
We
must be humble to the ideas that transcend us, but we must not be
misled by certainty. We must not allow our selves to be trapped by one
“holy” book or text. Just as different cultures developed their sciences
in varying degrees of progress, spiritual knowledge shows just as much
variance. Respect this. We have to learn from others instead of stifling
or ignoring them. If we see god everywhere, we should respect
everywhere and everything. But this race of animal, human, builds
fences. Denying the cross-pollination of knowledge will harm us. Don’t
limit your self to the Nile or to Jerusalem or to the river Ganga.
Remember that this is only one planet amongst trillions. That we are
only one place amongst (assumed) infinite space. We are a small
expression of Consciousness manifesting its self. This is only a
caution. We’re only beginning to See. Let’s grow [*]
