Even those who would have been willing to listen or begin to ascribe to the beliefs they offered become turned away by the rude and inconsiderate approach taken by them.
Your thoughts?
I believe this is a poignant point to keep in mind even for us who consider ourselves enlightened, and our desire to debrief the unenlightened by spreading our holy wisdom. No matter how rational or grounded of an argument you make, if the seeker isn't ready it will go in one ear and out the other. And the more you attempt to prove a person wrong on any subject, it's your will over theirs and now you're attempting to do everything for them. It's all relative, and we're seen in the same light.
Ra made a good point about how we are to be "passive radiators or broadcasters of love and love/light." So there is always the offering without an attachment to outcome. If it's not desired, I guess we just have to move along. One of my favorite quotes.."To those who wish to sleep we could only offer those comforts designed for the sleeping. Service is only possible to the extent it is requested."
Quote:73.12 Questioner: Many so-called evangelists which we have in our society at present have great desire and very great will, and possibly great polarity, but it seems to me that in many cases that there is a lack of awareness that creates a less than effective working in the magical sense. Am I correct in this analysis?
Ra: I am Ra. You are partially correct. In examining the polarity of a service-to-others working the free will must be seen as paramount. Those entities of which you speak are attempting to generate positive changes in consciousness while abridging free will. This causes the blockage of the magical nature of the working except in those cases wherein an entity freely desires to accept the working of the evangelist, as you have called it.
Excellent post and point made, Icaro. "Enlightenment" cannot be communicated in words to another, as such a concept is an umbrella term referring to the the process of attaining it, the successive experiences of revelation and insight which comprise one's "enlightenment", and the remainder of one's life in the effort to integrate what one has learned, uphold and convey what one has learned through their presentation of self, and basically how they choose to approach life having achieved such a state. None of this may be completely expressed to another. There also exists the matter that what constitutes "enlightenment" differs for many people, both in concept and in content. A very simple definition would be becoming aware of the true nature of things, yet it is far more elaborate than that.
An infinite amount of truths exist for an infinite number of beings. Interference in the ascertainment of truth in the path of another is essentially running in during a class in session, going up to a student, and telling them the "best way" to write their essay out, from what to write to what to even write about. As you said, presenting information to those not yet ready to hear it will prove unsuccessful, and it is through exuding what you wish to convey to others through your very beingness in the hopes that others may be inspired by your example is a much better way to lead others to that which you seek to get across. Going up to an individual and lecturing them on how love and light is paramount wouldn't work as well as simply being a kind and compassionate person whose aura puts others around them at peace.
