Thank you for being here - Moonfox - 05-24-2021
I (stupidly) recently attempted to start a conversion on another social media platform. It didn't go well, to say the least. Not only had people not done what I call "the reading" (the LOO was just the beginning for me) they thought I was a conspiracy theorist.
Really, I was hoping that they would be what the title of their community was called, but they only talk about feelings (which are important, but so is the reading).
They got really offended when I suggested that some of the most important thinkers of our modern times used some of the material for inspiration. .
Thus I was confused and became disheartened.
I figured by now this would be mainstream. It's not.
How can you be truly awake without the Law of One?

Most people would rather close their minds and subscribe to dogmas instead of earnest seeking. That seems to be what you experienced, which is sadly not uncommon, even in spiritually oriented communities. I'm hoping B4 never becomes like that. Right now times are uncertain, and it drives people even more into dogmas and rigid belief systems to get some sense of control. They will couch it in all sorts of good principles, and call you a conspiracy theorist, say you are the one spreading fear, etc.
Well, there are people here that can see past that. Maybe not everyone, but more than enough. Welcome back, and thank you also for being here.

I have reduced my arguing with people on social media. And I even change my perspective depending of what kind beliefs people have, maybe not very sincere haha, but I try to stay consistent across all areas. For example most mainstream people will probably claim that the Great Pyramid at Giza was built by human slaves. If I tell them that I believe that the Great Pyramid was zapped into existence through thought, they would think I was joking or having a completely woo woo belief. It requires a radical shift of perspective in order to take such idea seriously, and most people stick to the mainstream perspective.

An open mind, forever, is essential. but there comes a point when you are in silence and your inner voice is there, and you know this is your own expression.
Perhaps also there are way more people open to the Law of One that we think, just because slowly you see more, more synchronicities, more catalyst and more catalyst embraced and done with.

The crux of the Law of One (unity) are available from myriad of sources, from ancient sources to today's sources.
As for example mentioned in Tao The Ching, one can also find out about unity by taking a look inside their own self. Yoga as another example teach the method on how to look inside and see, yet never had any set of dogma of what you will find inside. Thus there are many ways towards unity, how many? quadrillions, well actually there are infinite number of ways.
And unlike the 'not' path, the 'is' path doesn't seek 'conversion'.
Conversion to what?
Everyone / everything is already in it.
The key characteristic of the 'is' path is the view of inclusivity.
While the 'not' is the opposite, the view of exclusivity thus separation.

I call myself a conspiracy analytic, without hesitation, for every political organisation and party is a conspiracy by having common motives.
Should it be wrong to try to understand politics or the world?

Hi conspiracy analytic without hesitation,
No there is nothing wrong trying to understand anything.
Even walking the 'not' path is not wrong.
Everything is a 'choice'.

I feel that when trying to raise the awareness Law of One it is important to remember about the preservation of the free will. Especially if not asked directly. I understand the desire to spread it as wide and as quickly as possible, for I remember myself feeling that way. But in my personal experience I think that focusing on live communication and just living with the understanding of Unity and being the example of a spiritually oriented entity is a more efficient method than trying to "shed the light" on the internet. When we are one on one the spirit interacts and opens opportunities for harmony and alignment. When we're using technology it's more of a mind activity. The difference in the "here and now" for each involved can distort the perception of the information provided (maybe). And at the same time meditation in the presence of a seemingly uninterested in spirituality entity and seeing it as the self, as the Creator, experiencing whatever it is occupied with at the moment can make all the difference (for example open an opportunity for a conversation about meditation and its benefits on different levels that may be closer to the entities biases).
So the possible explanation for the hostile reaction on attempt to speak on the Law of One subject is that the free will of others wasn't taken into consideration. Which is important if one wants to be effective in service to others (accepting the denial of the offered service is the viable service).

How do you explain the "Law of One"?
It is the "Natural Order of Everything". Remove religious rhetoric and dogma, (accept all religious ideology), but not be a part of it. The pure "Eternal Spirit" is not affiliated to any Religion or Philosophy, it is, (What It Is). Even the Law of One has its religious overtones and a feeling of self-importance, (which should also be denied). The pure essence is just that. The "Essence", and underlying force that permeates everything. We are already a part of the Law of One, directly and indirectly. Religion is also the corruption of the Absolute, because it twists the truth and manipulates it for self-gain. When we begin to understand the "As It Is", then the true meaning of Reality becomes clear.
We are all here for one reason. Spiritual development and a return to the Godhead. In that sense, every individual in unique and on their own Path, (which is also an Absolute).
Deny everything and embrace everything.
Become the Zen of no Zen.
