Science of Ascension

And when you have done that, what is the difference in attitude? You realize more and more that they are the same as yourself and yet you are more and more different. It's like more unique and distinct but, at the same time, actually closer, right?

Definitely. Another so-called 'paradox' of being. So true that it is "more and more" too, and not a quick easy lesson. I find now that I see violence and other not so palatable things in people and realise that it is in me too, so there is nothing I can condemn another for expressing outwardly just because I have no serious wish to do so.

Because we have a lifetime of learning behind us, I think any attempt to offer that perspective on a matter, in an honest manner, is going to provide an opportunity for reflection to some extent. Actually the very effort to bridge our own intuitive understandings by articulating our bias of what may currently only be mere apprehension is a good way of learning about ourselves - that's 'learn/teach'.

How true, and one thing I am still learning is that it is important not to try to be the student, and not to try to be the teacher. Such things, once we relax into our truer nature, come naturally. Sometimes as a surprise as well, like when you think you were 'taking the back seat' and learning from someone and then realise you just taught them something valuable, and vice-versa. I am enjoying growing older far more than I ever imagined I would (not that I am that old yet in terms of years).

It's a fool-proof system that has become more and more evident and amenable to 'faith'. Regardless of the current distortions and biases that seem so compelling, eventually self recognizes self, things are balanced, then on to the next learning.

Something I have spent a while learning for myself is that of necessity it has to be a seemingly long, drawn out process. I sometimes wonder if most or all wanderers feel a deep inner compulsion to 'be doing something' about everything, as I too easily do? Someone once said that it is only impatience with the universe and the 'plan' of life, but it does seem to affect those who feel themselves be wanderers a lot. Your use of the word "eventually" rings a bell with me; that living a simple life and eventually realising unexpected moments of self-learning is the natural way. I like it, though I did not always!

Ra assumes infinity but they do not know.... too. So there lol

Indeed. I think in our current state the mind is incapable of realising infinity, even though the ego thinks (and often says!) that it can.

For some reason your comment has made me feel 'safe' enough to post something more detailed in the Wanderers Stories thread, which I have been reticent to do so up to now, so thank you for that. (What people make of it is anyone's guess!)
