Spiritual path (7) - Ignorance is better than false knowledge

Jun 8

Osho
True knowledge first destroys innocence and then it destroys the knower too, who ceases to be an ego, an entity.
It is like fire, that after burning the fuel extinguishes itself.
Therefore, he alone can embark on a journey to knowledge, who is prepared to become utter emptiness, nothingness.

Soul
Not sure, what I know the more I know, I became humbled and emphatetic.

Osho
The visible part of reality is very tiny in comparison with its invisible part of which is immense and infinite.
But there is a danger with every kind of spiritual discipline. There is no path which one is not going to deviate. The truth is that we use paths more to digress from them than to reach.
If someone mistakes knowledgeability for knowledge, he is on a wrong path, he is going astray and now cannot attain to truth, to knowledge.

And remember, ignorance is not as harmful as false knowledge. False knowledge is harmful, lifeless, lacks fire altogether.
One also cannot found truth by chanting. Chanting is to banish tots from ur mind. But if after banishing tots, u didn't banish the chants, then it is equally useless.
Buddha says many people turns means into ends and cling to them for the rest of their lives. A boat is useful for crossing a river, we are not supposed to carry it on our heads after it has served its purpose.

Soul
True. Jus like I released Cloud of Unknowing. Carl Jung, Krishnamurti, my mind, my control strategy, my ego, my pride

1. The Issue - Rebel
The enlightened person is the greatest stranger in the world. He does not seem to belong to anybody. No organisation confines him, no community, no society, no nation.
Rebel is clearly the master of his own destiny. He has discovered his own hard-won truth, his true nature and is determined to live in accordance wit it.
This card asked u to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who we are and to live our truth.

Soul
I know who I am not. As for who I am, still discovering.


2. Internal influence that u r unable to see
Abundance
Zorba the Buddha, who can drink wine, dance on the beach and sing in the rain, and at the same time enjoy the depths of understanding and wisdom that belong to the sage.
The King of Rainbow brings the support of ur own male enegies into ur life, a union with the soul mate within.

Soul
Yeap, that's my year card. Self-union.


3. External influence u r aware
Fighting.
An explosive temper or a smouldering rage often masks a deep feeling of pain. We think that if we frighten people away, we can avoid being hurt even more. In fact, the opposite is the case. By covering our wounds with armour, we are preventing them from being healed.
By lashing out at others, we keep ourselves from getting the love and nourishment we need.
If the description fit you, its time to stop fighting. There is so much love available to u if u just let it in. Start by forgiving urself, u r worth it.

Soul
I can see this clearly for CEO.
As for me, this week, I have to expose my meditational practices to my nephews. On Sunday, I put on d armour and says no. And now on Tuesday nite, I can't do it.
I am afraid to expose myself cos afraid that they laugh at me, they would say things, they would judge me, they wouldn't accept me.
At least, I have exposed my laughter during swim and sleeping.

(8 July, this is for D too)

4. What is needed for resolution
Travelling
This card indicates a time of change of an inner movement from one way of being to another. But whatever the case, this card promises that the going wil be easy and will bring a sense of adventure and growth; there is no need to struggle or plan too much.
This attitudes of openess and acceptance invites new friends and experiences into our lives.

Soul
I guess its asking just to be open and go with the flow. If people need to be in my room, I jus do my meditation.
S called me and he has to drive around for shoonya. M has to do it in office. I never have to open up.
So, perhaps this is my lesson to open up.


5. Resolution.
Your heads goes on spinning and weaving, It keeps u occupied. We forget that the mind is meant to be a servant and not our master.
This cloud has to be dropped. And it is just ur decision to drop it that it wil disappear.

Soul
I am worried of how people think of me when I exposed my practices.
