Evolving Consciousness

[Diana]

There seem to be many students of the ancient teachings, that can repeat what they read, but are not really mature enough in evolved consciousness to understand what the information actually means to their existence.

For instance there are many monks, having been born into Buddhist traditions, that are fully capable of reciting their scriptures to the letter, and who meditate deeply and live a very dedicated lifestyle, and yet due to the particular degree of the level of evolved consciousness, they are not as adept at understanding their faith as more evolved consciousnesses may be.

I think a fundamental factor would be that the student has progressed to the point of thinking and feeling for themselves. If a person is a follower, he/she is not as conscious as a person who has discerned and come to a knowing for themselves.

I think if one is thinking and feeling for themselves, anything is possible. It must also be true that anything is possible for the person not thinking and feeling for themselves, however, I do think a leap of this kind--full understanding upon coming into contact with certain material--would be much less likely.

In a multidimensional sense, it could be seen a different way. If a person in this life is unconscious, but has other aspects of the self conscious (past, future, other-dimensional), then he/she could hook, or remember, knowing from another aspect of self. I say it this way because I think we might have a closer magnetic connection to our own aspects than perhaps to other-selves. Just thinking out loud
