I have been thinking over the last little while now about the spiritual path i am walking and having looked into basically all the major Western, Eastern and New age traditions i have come to a few conclusions. These are that all of the different spiritual systems have an outer or exoteric and an inner or esoteric tradition. The outer traditions may seem to be different due to culture , but ultimately all of the esoteric teachings are teaching the same thing. That is to say that all things are part of a collective universal loving consciousness. It is possible to merge back to this original state of consciousness through the use of spiritual practices, which is basically being compassionate and going within the self through meditation.
Having concluded that the main thing everyone wants out of reality or life is to be happy. I know that's really all i want at the end of the day. It became obvious that happiness cannot be reached through anything external to the self, thus leading me into an inward journey. It is clear that the greatest sense of happiness is love. Therefore you could say that we are all seeking love and that love cannot ultimately be found in external or material experiences, at least not a lasting love. It then becomes obvious that if we are to find inner love we can only find this through acceptance and understanding of our selves, if we cannot fully accept and understand ourselves how can we truly love ourselves? The only way we can truly do this is through going inwards via meditation. I don't believe we have simply been born to reject the material and find inner peace, why have a material existence if only to reject it? It is clear then that the path of balance is key, not to over come any thought or emotion or to indulge in any thought or emotion.
Once we find this loving center of balance within our hearts, we can then sustain this through being of service to others. Which is ultimately where all of this is leading to, to be able to accept and love other selves. However without this foundation of inner seeking and acceptance , balance based on an inner love, it would not be fully possible to be of loving service to others. So on this spiritual journey i have found a retreat inwards, yet a new seeking outwards towards other selves. It is my sincere belief that with enough inner balance through meditating and loving service to others will bring about a transpersonal state of consciousness were our persona or ego dissolves into unity, or as Ra puts it intelligent infinity.
To be aware or mindful is to be compassionate or loving, to be compassionate or loving is to be wisdom. To see each moment as love/light , light/love compassion/wisdom is walking the great path. The great path is to see each moment as what i would put through the awareness of loving wisdom. This is only possible through inward discipline of mediation and the service to other selves which is really the foundation of our own happiness and love.
No amount of knowledge, philosophy will bring this awareness, it can only point to it. Thus i rest my pen or keyboard rather.
