Well that all sounds and looks the same as I've seen the teaching expressed countless times, and the way I have cognized it myself. (I've been reading the Emerald Tablets myself, as well.)
However, this still doesn't answer my question. What is the purpose of becoming a "Higher Being"? Is not to constantly seek to "heighten the self" a form of Service to Self, and an attachment to self-gratification? What is a self-gratification that has been understood and "controlled"? How do you recognize that within yourself?
Once again, is this suggesting that the only way for me to "be of the Light", is to deny the flesh and all things associated with it?
I am asking these things because they are a point of confusion for MANY people. What seems implicit to you, is incredibly convoluted due to language to other people. This is part of my work here, I am interested in translating the Ancient Wisdom so that it can be understood by All.
I mean, for myself, I hardly even conceive of myself as "human" anymore, I work in many times, many dimensions and by no means have any sense that I am merely my Body, or that it is the true essence of my Being. Rather, I am at the point now where my thought is: Okay, so I'm an immense being of Light, and I know I've COME BACK here, WHY?
Since I have been rather awake for much of my life (I have never really been attached to the body, I could daresay most of my life I was off in other dimensions), I'm at a point where I am honestly uncertain what is an appropriate path of Service to Others. Since it seems my knowledge and attempts to teach are disdained, confusing or convoluted by interpretation, I am really quite uncertain at this point if there is any purpose to my continuing to live. Perhaps due to the remarks of others, but I frequently feel that I am not being in Service to Others, even though I strive to make that choice in every moment, and I feel that perhaps the greatest service I can do is to remove myself from incarnation.
Frankly, I don't know how to approach this state of feeling.
I mean, you constantly repeat these same concepts of "freeing oneself from the darkness".
Well, where are you? Are you Free? Are you still trapped in Darkness? Why are you still here if you have seemingly discovered the secrets to enlightenment?
How shall I say, I am trying to bring poetic mysticism in to a more practical, understandable field. We are no longer in the time where teachings must be hidden by fanciful imagery.
