Gesù ha detto chiedete e vi sarà dato bussate e vi sarà aperto ,noi avremo sempre bisogno di Dio non e infantile ,senza di me non potete nulla disse Gesù ,x amare bisogna distinguere l altro da noi ,il vero Gesù non ci basta più dobbiamo cercare altro, chi e x lei ora Cristo? Tutti estrapolano dalla Bibbia ciò che fa comodo ,non credo nulla in quello che dice
All Spiritual guides suffer, due the limitations of language on one hand, and the ignorance of their audience on the other. Ignorance in the sense of ignoring something which they are suffering to explain - an act of compassion. All clearly etched on this ladies’ face. And I love her for it.
Ti conosco solo ora Caterina ma il tuo modo di dare questi insegnamenti mi riportano alla presenza al cui insegnamento ha dedicato la sua vita Marina Borruso, traduttrice dei libri di Echkart Tolle, che ha lasciato questa vita terrena quest anno..
I recognised you as one of the few people who actually have been taken up by the natural, wordless spiritual process that can only operate in freedom and is destroyed by following another, but I am sad to see that again, you surrender it all to take up teaching, that very thing that the following of which would have made your flowering of understanding impossible, and also teaching has already landed you in stasis as you decide, through your socially conditioned ignorance, that there is value in telling others what they actually need to observe and understand themselves in freedom. This is serious business karmically. You still have time to rescue your natural process from the social complications and commitments and socially conditioned life activity of teaching that has derailed and halted it. And you know what I say has value so don't deny it to yourself. It is the truth. And there's no shame in recognizing it because then you might be the first ever spiritual teacher to break free, and ten you can show others how to do it. For most people it's safety in numbers, but we're not even one, so let's look at the truth selflessly together. Can a teacher help me observe and understand the nature of my own thinking, the movement of feeling and sensation within me, the phenomena of imagination and non-ordinary experiences, and of silence and of disturbance, of all the phenomena of conscious my life, or does everything a teacher tell you about such phenomena condition and prejudice perception thereby adding to the very problem it purports to solve? Obviously the latter, which is a terrible indictment on absolutely every prominent spiritual teacher alive including you Mooji, Spira, and most obviously Eckhart Tolle who preaches nothing but 'practicing presence' which has basically been instructed to billions of human beings this past 5,000 years providing a clear demonstrable history of failure as people get conditioned by instruction and knowledge and TRYING TO PRACTICE MEDITATION which is an absurdity, because meditation is simply awareness of what actually is, and there is only ever awareness of what actually is, whether it be world/sensation, or imagination, or thought, or whatever it may be. So how could we ever even begin to require being taught what only ever is, and why would we ever need it today? It is precisely because of spiritual and psychological and intellectual and social authorities that we need to learn the IMPORTANCE of the awareness of what is as opposed to our own intellectual processes, because we have been conditioned by authorities who claim to know, and therefore this has set off the knowledge accumulation tendency of the socially conditioned mind. If we were never told that it is other people who know and you cannot know, which was always a complete fiction obviously, then we would never have become enslaved by their words, practices, instructions and knowledge, and we would never get lost in the conditioning by these things which prevents the undistorted observation of ourselves as we are, distorting what we are by artificial practices designed to 'get somewhere' when awareness of what is is ALWAYS EVER HERE. So see the absolute insanity and absurdity of it all. But I have to say, it is simpler still. All animals and young children ARE Mother Nature, which is to say, instinctual freedom, and the awareness of that life in freedom, and naturally therefore there is health, wholeness, goodness, freedom and joy in animals and children who are not domesticated or conditioned and destroyed by society and social authority. So awareness of what is IS our origin as young children, and most natural to all animals. But to return to this awareness of what is transforms the adult brain and nature directly through observation and understanding what is, and this is so obvious, because we all know that when the brain learns it changes, and the brain controls many of the physiological processes, and the heart and body consciousness also learns through this silent perception of what is and understanding of what is. So ALL BOOKS, ALL TEACHERS, ALL SPIRITUAL PRODUCTIONS ARE MERE ENTERTAINMENT AND DESTRACTION AT BEST. But when knowledge accumulation or the following of an authority are mistaken for this journey of self-understanding through uninfluenced observation, the consequences are clearly spiritually catastrophic, because the truth of what is can never be approached by accumulating knowledge and words of another, or by following another, but obviously, clearly, manifestly is only in the seeing of what is as it is, and only we can ever do that, and no-one can ever teach that. The brain itself has to discover the importance of this awareness of what is and naturally then it starts to observe rather then indulge in it's own operations which it does learn to let go of, because many of them are security seeking processes and therefore it does genuinely need to learn that it is safe to let these go. Remember that the brain is the product of consciousness, a very recent creation compared to consciousness, and cannot be expected to understand the mysterious substrata of all experience. Your brain knows only what you know and have seen, you being the mind and brain of course, and the actual human being. Of course awareness is the only subject which you are, but I don't call that you - it is everything and everyone after all. Anyway, this isn't theory: and I'm no-one special at all. I live on the margins of society. But there is this wordless natural spiritual process that takes over and it helps to be adrift from society, and no-one can own it because it IS you, unlike spiritual knowledge which always belongs to someone else who invariably you need to sacrifice money, time and freedom to without ever finding the freedom they themselves take for granted. I know this sounds controversial but the Buddha said you cannot follow, you must perceive and understand and become a light unto yourself, as did Jiddu Krishnamurti who Tolle has often quoted or discussed who says authority destroys freedom and makes you weak and incapable of discovering the truth which depends on you becoming a light unto yourself. So I would ask you to consider the radical implications of this to the whole spiritual quackery and vampirism of our times with all these teachers with vast audiences saying they know and implying everyone else should merely lap up what they know, as if this leads anywhere good at all. Anyway I like you as a human being, and am pleased that you have the insight you have, but all the praise ends there, because spiritual teachers are the past, part of the old movement of consciousness, and to not realize this is an absolute tragedy to my mind because the truth will manifest, is manifesting, and it will condemn all spiritual teaching today I am sure, because it only weakens our capacity to become lights unto ourselves as the Earth goes to hell in a handbasket. There is no need for teachers at all when you understand that all authority is violence to a free human being, and unfreedom can never be the root of freedom. So we need to observe and understand our own unfreedom within ourselves, and when we do that, we see that the unfreedom includes all the conditioning by all spiritual knowledge and prescribed practices and attitudes issued by those who think they know, and therefore teach. Such teaching can only create bondage and subservience, and no one can be certain of anything if knowledge is in the hands of a teacher rather then available to the eye and to the mind through uninfluenced observation. Unfreedom includes the impact of your work because the truth of what you are can obviously never be uncovered by following another who distracts you with their irrelevant knowledge and destructive, conditioning practices, which is concrete proof of subversion by a spiritual authority which is spiritual violence. When we were primitive and socially conditioned in an authoritarian society, the authority of someone who loved and understood could help lead these primitive people's out of certain dangers, but if the human being seeks freedom, the teacher immediately denies that by becoming an authority and therefore the source of knowledge when it is only the direct, uninfluenced, unprejudiced perception and understanding of our own lives that illuminates and transforms through understanding. THIS IS NOT DISPUTABLE, IS IT. Will you try and dispute it? SO WHAT IS YOUR TEACHING AND ACTIVITY ACTUALLY FOR? Admit at least that you don't know what value it has, and then you are not lost for eternity. If you can't admit this to yourself then you will never reach eternity because you betray the truth you yourself are, or at least thought you were. And if you can handle what is said here you may be the best spiritual teacher on Earth, honestly.
