To be honest, the path to the light is no fucking joke here, this is a big deal. You are healing lifetimes of karma and ancestral programming! All the religions you see, all the sacred teachings, they are different branches of the same tree! Just because you do not resonate with one, doesn't mean that it is wrong! Everything on this planet at this time serves a purpose! We, beings of light, should identify with the truth in our own hearts! For your soul already knows, it knows where u have been, and what you have already been through (in other life times) ! Its not easy to be an outcast at first being born into this dimension and FORCED to forget your true nature, but little by little you start to feel freed from the societal chains that have been instilled on our ancestors for so long. When you meet someone that is fully authentic to their being, and true self, you will automatically feel that! They will light up the room, and bring up emotions that you didn't even know you had! It may be uncomfortable for those still wearing the mask society put on them at birth! They will see the reflection that they are not yet ready to show to the world! On this spiritual path, you will find more challenges, and more tests than on any other path of life! It's good to be thankful for those challenges, but it is also good to observe them deeply! One of the greatest challenges I face, is judgement from people. I do not wear a mask, I do not hide things to make people feel comfortable, or lie. I do not do things to make someone feel better if it doesn't feel good in my own heart! When people are not ready to break the shell of their egos, they will judge those who already have! When people are using this spiritual path to blow up their EGOS, instead of breaking through that shit, they will hurt a lot of people. Judgement is something very strong, and if you ever catch yourself JUDGING someone else, maybe its time to look within yourself and see why that is coming up. When you keep it real, you offer the opportunity to others to do the same, but you also open up the channel for judgement! But don't worry, the judged won't be the one hurt in the end of it all. Another strong emotion that comes up on this spiritual path is GREED and POWER, again, tying this into the Ego! People will hide behind a spiritually painted mask, and pretend to show you the way, just so you can acknowledge them as something. They want to be put on a pedestal above others! If you ever see this behavior from a "being of light" i hope you are able to recognize their false disguise. No spiritual being, will say they are better than any body else, or say they have the answers for you! A teacher is a teacher because they can GUIDE you, but you have to move forward yourself. Speaking in the world of shamanism, no "SHAMAN" will ever call him or herself a "shaman." It is ridiculous to me to see this group of new agers, or whatever, taking advantage of these sacred ways to inflate their own egotistical desires! Please be aware of the people you surround yourself with, and stay true to your own destiny! Nobody can take you down the path to your own evolution, sure, some people may be able to HELP, but it is your path. We are all one, and nobody is better than anybody else.
