Removing Illusion Stepping stones to enlightenment

Recommended Posts

The path to understanding is navigated with words, but the path to truth is navigated by our inner chime? and that chime is the way we feel. Every feeling we experience falls under one of two opposites, and those opposites are love and fear. All other feelings are extensions of either love or fear. They are opposites, like light and darkness? one is the absence of the other. Truth and untruth have the same relationship? nothing can be truth and untruth. Truth and love make sense while untruth and fear create confusion. My task is to share what I have learned, your task is to decide whether my words are truth or untruth.

 

There are several methods which I have used to take my level of understanding to new levels. Each have benifit even when used without the others, and the benefit is multiplied each time another method is added to the mix. The order here is chronological to my personal path because I understand that the worth or importance of any information depends on the individual.

 

The first method I used in removing illusion is to seperate what is known and what is unknown. What I realized is that I don't really know much of anything. I have extensive information to support things I had accepted as knowledge, but I realized that I could find information to support just about anything. Popular belief is commonly accepted as knowledge, yet if you look through history you see time and time again that "common knowledge" doesn't hold much weight (the world is flat, drilling holes in your skull will releave headaches, if the human body travels faster than 60 mph it will discintigrate... etc.). Based on this I cannot believe that we have it all right now. This may be unsettling especially if or when you realize that you don't know that there is a God(s) and that you don't really know what He or She or They want or expect (if anything). Unsettling as it was for me, that question jump started my path to true understanding. The chaos had come to a head... and the pendulum began to swing towards peace. Chaos enters our lives when we doubt ourselves... when we allow others dictate our reality and decide our fate. Peace enters when we trust our heart and soul... judging truth through love instead of fear.

 

One issue I recognize in myself is that I have a tendancy to get excited and overload whoever is paying attention, so I will continue based on where the discussion goes. If you would like to hear more you can post it or give this post a thumbs up.

Thumbs up to you! :) I really like the way you think. :) Wish I can get to know you better. :) Keep posting. I will always be reading. And don't worry. I'm hard to overload. After all, I always keep my cup empty for more information.Darn. If only my website was still working. You'd be a fast commenter. :P I had a lot of philosophical posts then.
