Science of Ascension

[Kiko]

Through long experience I have found that certain memes crop up time and time again. A contemporary one is the idea that if we do not like something, or find it uncomfortable, then it must mean that we are not facing something which is wrong or not integrated within our self. To use a contemporary term, this is bullshit. All we need do is feel sincerely as Ra say, and we will know.

As a daft example, if someone set a friend on fire would you say to him/her, "Ah, do you see? There is something about fire that you are unwilling to integrate!"...

Quoting myself here to add some clarification after discussions with various friends on new age topics. (And I hope nobody reading is distressed by the word bullshit. Though I perhaps could have been more intelligently descriptive, sometimes a down to earth colloquialism works well).

Rather off topic, so I will not ramble on too much. But... I have myself agreed with some new age concepts in the not so distant past just because they 'sounded right' and because they seemed to be generally accepted as true. I am far more careful about doing so nowadays.

I remember someone telling me that because I have allergies and my ear tubes swell and become blocked, that I "must not want to hear something". In other words, I was blocking something which I needed to work on. I jokingly pointed out that her need to wear spectacles all day long perhaps meant that she was refusing to see something and work on it. The point was quite lost, as was the intended joke.

As I have said elsewhere, I think that much of what Ra said is very over-simplified, or sometimes over-explained for our benefit as somewhat anxious and not very clear seeing beings (in our current state). Also, very much is taken out of context by seekers, or applied as a 'general truth' when from a clearer point of view it makes no sense to do so.

I like Ra's comment that intuition and more rigorous scientific examination and thought must go together for things to become clear (I cannot find the quote right now). I think it is good to see many posting in these forums judiciously applying the brakes when blanket statements of 'truth' are made, as well as pointing out the opposite, that scientific analysis and rational thought are not everything by far.

Off topic thoughts done with (I was not sure where else to post this).
