Science of Ascension

[zenmaster]

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".

That's just part of maturation process here. One 'phase', if you will, is the establishment in mind of the legitimate 'reality' of these allegorical relationships we have with the inner and outer world. Like anything new, it tends to become inflated and confused - 'everything is allegory'. So basically the initiate starts identifying 'shapes in clouds', ascribing desired meaning to events for the mere sake of promoting a favored intuitive conception. In an infinite universe, just because something can be interpreted allegorically, does not mean that aspect has useful application towards one's purpose.

It a process akin to the psychology student that diagnosis themselves with various pathological conditions they read about in their coursework. Looking back, we just roll our eyes and smile. That is, until one gets dangerously trapped in confusion and their own 'twilight world'. Although there is always balancing aid available, as we see from the constant barrage of disingenuous posts here, it's blatantly ignored by the 'new-age-meme' inspired, zealous fanatic.
