How to Develop Your Level of Spiritual Discernment

How to Develop Your Level of Spiritual Discernment

“If you have found a particular spiritual teaching and have studied that teaching, it is because your soul wanted you to have that experience. In other words, even if the teaching might contain some errors, there was a reason your soul wanted you to find and study that teaching.

There are two main reasons why this might be the case. One is that your soul wanted you to find certain true ideas in that teaching. As I explain elsewhere, some teachings contain a mixture of true and false ideas.

Another possibility is that your soul wanted you to study a teaching in order to develop the ability to distinguish between true and false ideas. If you study a teaching that contains only true ideas, you will not have the same opportunity to develop this discernment as if you study a teaching that is a mixture of both.

You can literally come to a point of sensitivity where you can feel the vibration of an idea. You can read a true idea in one paragraph and feel how the vibration of those words stir something in your heart and open your heart. You can then read the next paragraph, which contains a false idea, and feel how your heart is contracted and gives you a sinking feeling.

So please do not fall into the human pattern of making snap judgments about what to study and not to study. As always, follow your intuition, follow your heart. If you get a prompting to study a specific teaching, then by all means do so. And that applies even if someone has told you that the teaching is not entirely pure. However, as you study the teaching keep in mind the dynamics described above. For that matter, keep in mind that both purposes might be involved with studying a specific teaching. You might have to both pick up a true idea and sharpen your ability to discern.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“There are many of today’s spiritual seekers who have started their path by finding a false teaching. The reason is that you needed to learn something from that teaching that would sharpen your discernment and help you see through the false hierarchy and their methods. In other words, the lesson you need to learn from a given teaching is not necessarily how to walk the path—it might be how NOT to walk the path. Yet this is still an invaluable lesson.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“No matter which spiritual teaching you follow, even a teaching that comes from the Ascended Host and has the highest possible degree of purity, you always need to read between the lines and go beyond the outer teaching. No outer teaching can give you all of the insights you need in order to attain Christ consciousness. A Christed being is able to get understanding and truth from inside itself, and therefore it does not rely exclusively on an outer teaching.

If you keep this in mind, you can make spiritual progress by studying almost any teaching. Yet it should be obvious that a teaching coming from the highest possible source and a teaching that is as pure as possible will make it easier for you to make progress. If the teaching has a high degree of impurity, you will have to be more alert and spend more attention on seeing through the impure ideas to find the truth behind them. If you are not willing to make this effort or if you have not developed a sufficient level of Christ discernment, following an impure teaching can indeed lead you into a dead end.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“Obviously, the more pure the teaching, the greater the opportunity for discovering the inner path. Some people seem to think that the false hierarchy is unsophisticated or easy to expose. Yet as I explained earlier, the false hierarchy have set up a false duality. Some of them are in such a low state of consciousness that they are very primitive, and thus many spiritual seekers can easily expose teachings from this source. Yet some members of the false hierarchy have a very high understanding of the spiritual path, so they are very skilled at giving people a teaching that contains a high degree of truth, yet there is enough errors mixed in that it can fool many people.

In fact, only the Christ consciousness can unmask the more subtle lies of the false hierarchy. It is therefore crucial to seek Christ discernment rather than thinking you are smart enough to unmask the false hierarchy on your own or based on a set of outer criteria.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“The ultimate way to expose a false teaching is not through some outer criteria but through the inner criteria of reading the vibration of the teaching and its source. The false hierarchy can easily change their appearances and adapt to your outer criteria. But they cannot change their vibrational pattern, and thus cannot hide from the X-ray vision of your Christ self.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

The above statement is bullshit. The ultimate way to expose a false teaching is by recognizing any bullshit or falsehood in it by using your mind, thinking, logic, reasoning, intelligence, observation and research. It does Not matter which source it comes from, you must always use your own mind to process the information they are giving.

- Enoch Mind Reality

 
“It has been said that discouragement is the sharpest tool in the devil’s toolkit. In reality, comfortability is a far more dangerous tool because it is so often based on spiritual or intellectual pride—spiritual blindness.“

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“There is a point on the path, where it is prudent to be cautious. You do not let small children play on the street because they are not mature enough to keep an eye out for cars. Yet as the children grow, you have to let them out because keeping them locked up inside the house would hamper their natural growth. So it is with your mind. When you are new to the path, it is best to find a reliable teaching and to focus on it for a while. Yet remember what I said earlier. The purpose of a true teaching is to increase your Christ discernment. When you multiply your talents, you will become better at telling the difference between the truth of Christ and a lie. Therefore, you no longer need to fear the false hierarchy, and thus you don’t need to confine your studies to any one teaching.

It is sad to see people who have been following a true teaching for decades and who are still afraid to exercise their Christ discernment. You cannot develop discernment in a sterile environment. It must be done through hands-on – or rather minds-on– experience. What I am saying is that as you mature, you are no longer so concerned about the false hierarchy and you are not afraid to seek truth wherever it can be found. For example, you are not afraid to read a book that might contain some error because you can separate the chaff from the wheat. A person with full Christhood can read The Satanic Bible and still find some truth. Obviously, you can find the same truth elsewhere, so there is no real reason to read The Satanic Bible, I am simply giving an extreme example.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“I know that there are problems and darkness in this world, but sometimes we need to pinpoint exact what the problem is and not mistaken it and lumping it with a whole bunch of other stuff that makes it all seem bad. It’s like somebody has a health problem and thinks their whole body is dying when it is just one area or one activity.”

- Enoch Mind Reality

 
“When it comes to spiritual things that man talk about, we must find out the spiritual source that they receive it from. Man cannot perceive the things that are beyond the physical world and therefore we have to receive the revelation of those things by beings from above. But man can know that which is above by observing that which is below. Therefore man can determine the truth of the information given from above and even discern the sources of information from above by observing that which is below.”

- Enoch Mind Reality

 
“You must understand how to discern the extraterrestrial energies. This is a free-will universe, so all forms of life are allowed here. If an energy attempts to frighten you, manipulate you, or control you, it is not an energy that would be in your highest interest to work with. You have a choice of who you work with. Just because someone has evolved many fantastic and seemingly magic abilities does not necessarily mean that that entity is evolved spiritually. Learn to discern.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
“You may think that because you understand or believe in the spiritual realms that every person, as they evolve, will naturally embrace that information. It is not so. It is possible to become a brilliant master of manipulating matter and reality without understanding spiritual connections. It is very important that you learn this.

There will be those who will come from the stars to this planet who will have abilities that will be incredible to the mass consciousness of the people upon Earth.

Just as you have cultivated very powerful individuals upon this planet who are not in touch with their feeling centers-who have no connection to emotional and spiritual consciousness there are those who exist in space who are extremely powerful space kings or space entities who have nothing to do with spirituality. They are powerful forces. If you met these forces, you would feel like David meeting Goliath. That is why it is important for all of you to learn how to alter your reality so that you can dance between the vibrations of frequency, or flip into the station of the world that you want to experience.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
Light informs you. It uplifts you, because once you are informed, you feel more powerful. When you are not informed you feel powerless.

Sound is another way to carry information because it is part of light. To you it may seem that sound and light are two separate things, because from your point of view you perceive light with your eyes and sound with your ears. Because you use two separate areas of perception on your body, it seems that sound and light are separated as well. In actuality, they are very connected. They wind themselves around one another because they both carry information.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
True Definition of Light and Darkness in Spirituality

“Uninformed, the species would be easier to control. This is why light is information and darkness is lack of information.”

“Light gives information, and darkness withholds information. So, in the times that are coining, it will be easy for you to discern who’s who and what’s what as you travel outside the third dimensional realm. All you need to do is discern whether something is light and you are being given information or whether it is darkness and you are being disinformed, misinformed, or information is being completely withheld from you.”

“We define light as the promoting, dispensing, and sharing of information. Dark is the controlling and withholding of information. Think about this and feel it. You have come onto this planet with a coded blueprint to carry light and to bring about a huge planetary transformation. You have come to be the standard bearer of your soul, the portion of your soul that is going to lead. That portion of your soul says, “I set the pace here, and the pace is light and information; no more being in the dark.”

“Each of you volunteered to come here at this time to carry a frequency. At this time, that frequency is light, but eventually you will learn how to carry the frequency of love. The large majority of you have no idea what the love frequency can be. You talk about love and light, yet you do not comprehend the ramifications and the true meanings of them. Light is information; love is creation. You must become informed before you can create. Do you understand this?

“You need light, which is information, to access this love. Without the informational frequency, the love frequency is misunderstood.”

“This new frequency is called knowledge, light, and information. It is called being taken out of bondage. You are being taken out of disinformation and misinformation and you are becoming informed; you are coming into light. There are those in your system who believe we are here to spread fear, but we do not see it that way. We do not wish to scare any of you: we simply wish to inform you. If you sit in a dark room and you hear strange sounds, it can be fearful. However, if you turn on the light to see what is making the sounds, it is then not so scary. We wish you to be informed about what you are dealing with. Light is information; ignorance is darkness. We want you to be working in the light, not in the dark.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 

Q: “What I am trying to get to is an understanding of an enlightened being. Eddie and a LOT of other people have the idea that an enlightened being IS LOVE, and that is what they radiate, and that this is a result of being enlightened.”

A: “No, no, no, no, no. “Enlightened” does not mean good. Just smart.

- The Cassiopaean Transcripts

 
Q: (L) There are many teachings that are promulgated that Love is the key, the answer. They say that illumination and knowledge and what-not can all be achieved through love.

A: The problem is not the term “love,” the problem is the interpretation of the term. Those on third density have a tendency to confuse the issue horribly. After all, they confuse many things as love. When the actual definition of love as you know it is not correct either. It is not necessarily a feeling that one has that can also be interpreted as an emotion, but rather, as we have told you before, the essence of light which is knowledge is love, and this has been corrupted when it is said that love leads to illumination. Love is Light is Knowledge. Love makes no sense when common definitions are used as they are in your environment. To love you must know. And to know is to have light. And to have light is to love. And to have knowledge is to love.

- The Cassiopaean Transcripts

 
A: The universe is merely a school. And, a school is there for all to learn. That is why everything exists. There is no other reason. Now, if only you understood the true depth of that statement, you would begin to start to see, and experience for yourself, all the levels of density that it is possible to experience, all the dimensions that it is possible to experience, all awareness. When an individual understands that statement to its greatest possible depth, that individual becomes illumined. And, certainly you have heard of that. And, for one moment, which lasts for all eternity, that individual knows absolutely everything that there is to know.

Q: (L) So, you are saying that the path to illumination is knowledge and not love?

A: That is correct.

- The Cassiopaean Transcripts

 
“The purpose is to strengthen the self so that the self can become completely informed about reality. The self can then decide with clarity the soul’s path, or your personal path, through reality.

The original plan was for Earth to be an exchange center of information for all the different galactic systems.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
“Eventually, in one of the galactic systems, a plan came together to design Earth as an intergalactic exchange center of information. It was an incredible plan. Earth was a beautiful place, located on the fringes of one of the galactic systems and easily reached from other galaxies. It was close to many way portals, the highways that exist for energies to travel throughout space.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
“Earth is assisting, in its own way, the evolution of the universe. Earth is where things are happening: it is the hot spot, the place to be. It is where the plan begins to blossom, and what happens on Earth is going to affect many, many worlds.”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
“As you begin to live according to your own guidance and your own daring, everything changes completely. This is occurring in many places. Just as thought travels on Earth, there are highways on which thought can be directed throughout the cosmos. The gridworks and creative cosmic rays are part of an intergalactic system that directs what you believe into other places of existence. So even today you are a living inspiration to others as a frequency that is fed into other systems.

In the same way that we pull energy from other systems into your system, you send energy to other systems and affect them-and you don’t know it. We want you to realize your impact and the power you have to affect systems. You don’t even know how powerful you are, and that is why you could be dangerous. You have taken on an incredible amount of this mutating energy. What are you going to do with it? How are you going to direct it? Do you love yourself?”

- Bringers of the Dawn (Fifth Dimensional Beings Known as the Pleiadians)

 
Joanna: “So how should we regard channeling to get the most of it?”

Alariel: “In three main ways.

Firstly, as just a “second opinion,” a different viewpoint to lay alongside your own perceptions.

Secondly, as an opportunity to expand your consciousness and explore new perspectives.

Thirdly, as a way of increasing the flow of information between soul and personality, making this link stronger and more effective.

Channeling can open up new horizons, new ways of looking at the world. It should be nourishing and empowering, and strengthen your capacity to obtain inner guidance. However, if anyone is using the channeling they receive from someone else as a complete replacement for their own inner guidance, they are misusing the process. Channeling was never intended for this purpose, and your own inner guidance should remain paramount.”

- Angel Alariel (Channeled in the book “Beyond Limitations – The Power of Conscious Co-Creation”)

 
“My general view of “channellings” is that the majority of them are of very poor quality. That is not necessarily a slight against those bringing them through, but more a matter of their lack of receptivity and subsequent distortions. It is very rare, to find a good, stable, clear, and impartial channel. The key element in channeling, is the ability to temporarily withdraw the “filters” of your own personal beliefs and be a clear channel. To bring through what is actually given, not your slant on what you think it might mean. When I am saying ‘you’, I mean this in a general term of course here, not ‘you’ personally. Always remember that it’s meant to be about the Message, not the messenger.

Another difficult issue with channeling, is that you can start off receiving a Positive entity, and if you are not very perceptive in your discernment and careful in your protection when identifying an incoming channel, you can get a Negative one that pretends to be positive, but gradually slips in more and more misinformation, having gained your trust.”

- The Hidden Hand (Messenger of Lucifer Soul Group – Illuminati True Upper Levels)

“Or it can also be more likely that the Entity is a False Light being all along and simply mixing truth and bullshit together to mind control you in accordance with their agenda. This is something the Hidden Hand does not say, because the Hidden Hand is also here to mix truth with bullshit in his message. He is Dark Illuminati.”

- Enoch Mind Reality

 
“Esther had once asked me what I had learned from those experiences with the Ouija board. And I told her I learned that there was an intelligence out there that was wanting and willing to communicate with us, and that some appeared to be as dumb as the dumbest of us, and some as bright or brighter than the brightest of us.”

- Jerry Hicks (YouTube Video: Seth Speaks – Abraham Hicks)

 
“We are not God, as you think of God. In other words, we are not the ones who proclaim the rules for all in the universe! When you ask questions, sometimes we think you are writing down the answers as though what we say is the final statement about everything.”

- Conversations with My Higher Self (A book channeling the same entity known as “Abraham Hicks”)

 
“It is when you are surrounded by lower consciousness that you will benefit more from remaining with your individual understandings, and when you are surrounded by higher consciousness that you receive greater benefit from surrender. It may, therefore, be wise to seek beings of high consciousness. I cannot overemphasize the importance of the company you keep.”

- Conversations with God, Book 3

“Regarding the above statement, it would be wise to always exercise discernment and do your own thinking, reasoning and observation even when connecting with beings of “high” consciousness. They may also be wrong and their logic faulty at times or in certain areas. Never give complete surrender to any “high being” (Angel, Spirit, God, Alien, Etc) like an idiot and become under mind control. Do your own thinking.”

- Enoch Mind Reality

 
God: “So if you wish to disagree with Me now, go right ahead. Besides, I could be wrong.”

Neale Donald Walsch: “What?

God: “I said, besides, I could be wrong. Oh, my goodness… you’re not taking this all as gospel, are you?

The guidance you are getting is to follow your heart. Listen to your soul. Hear your self. Even when I present you with an option, an idea, a point of view, you are under no obligation to accept that as your own. If you disagree, then disagree. That is the whole point of this exercise. The idea wasn’t for you to substitute your dependency on everything and everyone else with a dependency on this book. The idea was to cause you to think. To think for your self. And that is who I Am right now. I am you, thinking. I am you, thinking out loud.”

- Conversations with God, Book 2

 
“There is a “way out,” and you will “get it right.” You merely have to increase your observational skills. You have to better see what serves you. This is called “evolution.” Actually, you cannot “not get it right.” You cannot fail. It is merely a question of when, not of whether.”

- Conversations with God, Book 3

The Law of Constant Self-Transcendence

The Law of Constant Self-Transcendence

“No matter which spiritual teaching you follow, you need to be aware of an important law about spiritual growth, namely the law of constant self-transcendence. This law has been described in the popular saying, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” If you are studying a particular teaching right now, it is because that was the teaching you needed at the level of consciousness you had when you found that teaching.

Yet if you are making spiritual progress, there might very well come a point when you are ready for a higher spiritual teaching. When that occurs, your Christ self and your spiritual teachers will be ready to bring that teaching into your outer awareness. Unfortunately, many sincere spiritual teachers end up becoming emotionally attached to a specific outer teaching, guru or organization, and therefore they are not willing to listen to their spiritual teachers. They literally close their minds to the spiritual teaching that could take them to the next level.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“The simple fact is that whatever teaching you find, there is a reason you were attracted to that teaching. The reason is that the teaching resonates with your current level of consciousness, and thus you have something to learn from that teaching.

For a new student, it is tempting to assume that the teaching you have found is the ultimate teaching, that it is absolutely true and that it can teach you everything you need to know in order to be saved. Yet the more experienced student needs to let go of this belief. Instead, you need to adopt the attitude that any outer teaching is meant to teach you something that will help you transcend your current level of consciousness. And in some cases the lesson might be very different from what your outer mind assumes.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“The goal of the path is self-transcendence, so at any level you are confronted with two teachers. The false teacher is the one who corresponds to your current level of consciousness, and he will seek to make you stay at that level. The true teacher is the one who corresponds to the next higher level of consciousness, and he is the one who can take you to the next level. The question is whether you will cling to the one with whom you are comfortable or whether you will follow the other teacher into the unknown. This depends on your commitment to perpetual self-transcendence.

Take note that when you do rise to a higher level, you will be confronted with a new set of teachers. The true teacher who brought you to that level will now be replaced by another true teacher who can take you higher. Likewise, the old false teacher will be replaced by a new one, seeking to keep you trapped at your new level. If you seek to cling to the old true teacher, you will simply tie yourself to the new false teacher—who is an impostor of the old true teacher.

Obviously, the more mature student should always be on the lookout for the next teacher and should always be willing to follow that teacher as soon as he appears. That is the ultimate – and only – way to avoid being trapped by the false hierarchy. As I said, there comes a point on the path where you have to confront the false hierarchy. Only by confronting them can you learn to see through them and thus rise above them. Studying a false teaching may be a necessary step in this process. The trick is to always look for the hidden lesson and to never stay in a false teaching a moment longer than necessary.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“Any teaching or tool we give people can be counteracted by the false hierarchy. There is nothing in the realm of duality that cannot be counteracted by the false hierarchy, so the only way out is that you base your spiritual path on one simple fact: The driving force behind spiritual growth is self-transcendence, and the need to self-transcend never stops as long as you are on Earth.

This applies to an outer teaching as well. When we give an outer teaching, the false hierarchy can also read that teaching. So they can find ways to neutralize it. One way is to get people to turn the outer teaching into a closed box that prevents people from seeing that the ascended masters have moved on. As I said before, if you are so afraid of the false hierarchy that you do not dare to look beyond a certain teaching – that you do not dare to follow the promptings of your Christ self – then the false hierarchy has become your God. You are no longer following the ascended masters – for we are constantly moving on and forever self-transcending – you are following the false hierarchy who tells you to stay where you feel safe.

The crucial point here is that when you find a true spiritual teaching, your ego and the false hierarchy are very concerned because they might lose control over you. Yet they know that it is easy to get people to become comfortable in the new teaching, and this gives them a second chance to trap you. My point is that no outer teaching will ever be enough to guarantee that you are free from the false hierarchy. The only way to escape them is to continue to self-transcend, to continue to go beyond any outer teaching and seek oneness with your Christ self and the ascended masters.“

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“It is a fact that when most people find the spiritual path, they are still partly in the duality consciousness. Thus, they will inevitably be in a state of consciousness that attracts the dualistic opposites.

Even if you find a teaching that is truly from the ascended masters, your ego will still use your dualistic beliefs to distort your view of that teaching. As you become more familiar with the teaching, your ego is also educated in the concepts and lingo used by the teaching. Thus, your ego and any external false teachers can actually use a true teaching to slow down your growth by causing you to close your mind. The only way to avoid this is to constantly be open to being disturbed by your Christ self and the ascended masters, which means that you are willing to let a new idea take you beyond your comfortable beliefs. If you are not willing to be disturbed, you will turn even a true teaching into a mental prison.

When you come up higher on the path, you can completely transcend the level of duality, and thus false teachers and false teachings will no longer be a threat to you.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“When you translate a spiritual teaching into words, you bring that teaching into the realm of duality, and thus people can argue for or against that teaching indefinitely. They might feel they are very knowledgeable and pious – as did the scribes and Pharisees – but in reality they are no closer to escaping duality. ”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“As long as people are trapped in the duality consciousness, they will attract to themselves situations in which it seems as if the only option they have is to choose between two extremes. No matter which extreme they choose, they will only become more trapped in duality.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“For the last century we have given people the concept of ascended masters as the spiritual teachers of humankind. The false hierarchy has sought to counteract this by creating a false duality. On one side you have what most people would see as dark forces, namely demons and other forces that are clearly evil. On the other side the false hierarchy has set up a group of non-material beings, residing in the mental or emotional realms, that imitate the ascended masters. These false “masters” will appear to be exactly like us and they will use the same terminology. Yet they have two main goals.

One goal is to draw you into a dualistic struggle against the “dark forces.” So they will try to make you think that you are a servant of the light and you are here to fight the darkness, and as long as you are following their directives, you are doing just that. In reality you are simply trapped in the endless dualistic struggle between two opposing forces, none of which have the life of Christ in them. The other goal is to make you follow the false path that only makes you comfortable at a certain level of attainment but does not guide you on to eternal self-transcendence. Obviously, these two goals can be combined, and when people buy into them, they feel very convinced that they are doing the exact right thing and that they have to keep doing it for the rest of their lives.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“The false hierarchy of anti-christ has created innumerable versions of this artificial conflict between two opposites, and they are constantly seeking to draw people into such a battle. The false hierarchy can use even a true spiritual teaching to create such dualistic opposites. You have to realize that the duality consciousness will always present the spiritual student with a dilemma. At any level of the spiritual path, you will face two extremes that are created by the duality of anti-christ. The inexperienced student will invariably choose one extreme and think he is doing the right thing. Yet the mature student sees through this plot and therefore chooses the golden middle way by always seeking to transcend the duality of any situation. It is only through this self-transcendence that you grow in Christhood. Otherwise, you only stay in the dualistic struggle, which can go on indefinitely.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“It does not matter what you have been into. What matters is what you have been willing to transcend. It is generally better to make a mistake and learn from it than to stand still and do nothing at all. That is why being afraid of the false hierarchy gives them a sure way to keep you trapped. As soon as you stop moving, they will start building a wall around you. Yet if you continue to jump over the wall before it gets too tall, they will have a hard time keeping up with you.”

- Ask Real Jesus (Channeled by Kim Michaels)

 
“You have to be alert to the fact that as you follow the spiritual path, you are not simply educating yourself, you are also educating your ego. Your ego learns the words and concepts used in a specific spiritual teaching, and it quickly finds out how to use them to maintain or even expand its control over you. That is why you can never stand still. You have to keep moving faster than your ego or you will inevitably start sliding backwards. If you become comfortable at a certain level, your ego will quickly use this opportunity to get you to stop at that level.

You always need to remember that the path is an ongoing process. The moment you stop moving, you are no longer on the true path. You are on the path that seems right to the ego. Remember the motto, “From this point, forward—always forward!”

You are what You Think, Not what You Eat

You are what You Think, Not what You Eat

“Your beliefs about food and medicine matter”

“A Western doctor may give vitamin shots or pills to a native child in another culture. The child need not know what particular vitamin is being given, or the name for his disease, but if he believes in the physician and Western medicine, he will indeed improve, and he will need the vitamins from then on. So will all the other children.”

“Generally speaking, those who advocate health foods or natural foods subscribe to some of the same overall beliefs held by your physicians …. Some….subscribe to philosophical ideas that moderate those concepts, recognizing the importance of the mind. Often though, some strong suggestions of a very negative character are given, so that all foods except certain accepted ones are seen as bad for the body, and the cause of diseases. People become afraid of the food they eat, and the field of eating becomes the arena….. In this system at least the body is not insulted with a bewildering assortment of drugs for therapy. It may, however, be starved for very needed nourishment. Beyond that the whole problem of health and illness becomes simplistically applied, and here food is scrutinized.

You are what you think, not what you eat – and to a large extent what you think about what you eat is far more important. What you think about your body, health, and illness will determine how your food is used, and how your chemistry handles fats, for instance, or carbohydrates. Your attitudes in preparing meals are highly important. Physically it is true, but again more generally speaking, that your body needs certain nourishment’s. But within that pattern is great leeway, and the organism has the amazing capacity to make use of substitutes and alternates.”

“If you believe, however, that the chemicals in certain foods will harm you drastically and bring about disastrous consequences, then even small doses of these can do you harm. Any chemical upsets in the body will right themselves after the inner problems have been worked out…The new balance signals the organism that an inner problem has been resolved.”

“Diets… [are] based on the idea that you are overweight because you eat too much. Instead you eat too much because you believe that you are overweight. The physical picture always fits because your belief in being overweight conditions your body to behave in just such a manner. In the oddest fashion, then, your diets simply reinforce the condition – since you diet because you believe so deeply in your overweight condition. You must…willingly suspend that belief. You must make a conscious effort to insert a different belief, employ natural hypnosis in this new way.”

- SETH (The Nature of Personal Reality)

 
The Only Reason Medicine Works At All

“Do whatever (medical changes) they encourage you to do, if it makes you feel better. All of that is irrelevant. In other words, go through all of those motions because it’s easier for you to go through those motions than not. You can’t make a wrong choice there. You see, the only reason any of that stuff works, anyway, is because they tell you it might, and in your hope you open the circuit. And then, after a few people croak from it anyway, then they say, “Whoops, we made a mistake. It’s not really working.” And then, you close the circuit. And then, somebody comes up with something else, they say, “This might work.” And you say, “Oh good,” and you open the circuit. And then a few people croak anyway, and they say, “Well, this isn’t working very well,” so you close the circuit. And that is why it is always something new, always something new. And all of that is fine.

The only reason medicine works at all: The disease gives you a rocket of desire beyond anything you’ve ever felt before, no matter what the disease is. Having it makes you want something else. And so, right away that desire begins summoning resources in order to soothe whatever it is that you are not wanting — or to satisfy whatever it is that you are wanting. Then, what happens with the medicine is: You have a desire with a belief that doesn’t match it, and then someone comes along with a bottle or a pill or a process, and they say to you, “This will get you to where you want to be.” And so, for a little while, your hope or your belief matches your desire — and the circuits are all open again.”
