There are several stages of self-realization. Years ago I began to speak from the experiences I had in my personal search. I kept praying for guidance, to meet the right people for my development, but I wasn't decided which path I wanted to go down, so I accumulated a little of each and often just to satisfy that inner emptiness, that constant searching. Accumulating information and not being mature enough for it sometimes does more harm than good.
There is great responsibility in guiding people and there are few who are qualified to do this at a high level, without too many words, subtle meanings or personal motives. The light does not need obscure languages, it does not need rituals and there is no one to 'hold the light' and pass it on. Light pours forth through connection with our Divine Self, through God Himself, the Divine Source within us, when we are open and ready to receive it. Time is a true master, and so I have come to understand that each of us is "due" to follow our own path.
Unfortunately there is also this false light. Names that seem to matter in people's spiritual evolution have been corrupted and in their teachings there is a huge discrepancy. There are also those who wake up and copy one "master" or another, without developing a vision of their own, guiding others into continued ignorance. The problem is lack of love. There are many today who think they are entitled, they want to be "somebody", their success is short-lived and they often end up paying the price. I see cases where certain information has been taken for granted, even by some "translators", without a personal filter, without mature and balanced judgment, with the effect that many have been stuck at the level of individual evolution, waiting for salvation from outside. How can you live in this world with ideas like "god made me hurt you to lower your ego", "I behaved badly because in another life you behaved badly to me too", "there is no right and wrong", "ansa tells me there is divine right to sleep with me, isn't that why you came?", "at initiation I also introduced a demon so that you don't come to the light too quickly", "let's drink our urine to recycle our energy, that's the only way you can reach the level I have reached", "in a similar case, a wonderful remedy is infidelity or divorce." and many others... surely you know more cases than me. Then there are those who live by the consciousness of greed and come to believe themselves so important that others do not matter but only the "materialization of their will", only personal gain, pride being the very gateway to the darkest and most cunning entities, and they happy to have found the secret, to have hit the jackpot.
Unfortunately there is a lot of chaos and there are many who take advantage of naivety, fear and feelings of powerlessness. The fine line between doing evil or doing good is given by this evolution of our consciousness, and a man who has truly come to the light lives it and shares it by his own example, realizing that people can inspire or understand better what is happening to them, but he cannot change anyone as people have the right to make their own choices. Remember, power without love is a deep place without water, without the Self.
Life itself, through the effects of our pattern of thinking, gives us the opportunity to purify those ideas that do us harm and thereby mature. To believe that the negative side of reality does not exist is to deny that there are divine laws designed to remind us that we are responsible for our own creations. Not noticing that free will is equal to the level of consciousness you have reached and believing that one religious or spiritual model, one pattern of thought or another works for everyone else is in itself a cause that will have its effects.
I like to follow my own path. I didn't like to "bind" myself to anyone or anything because the only Teacher I recognize is God Himself, and God is the Divine Intelligence that exists in and through everyone. Life itself is the Master. Even when I was told that it would not be good, I noticed that I had chosen "like me"... I suffered and so I learned to trust intuition more, to listen, to cultivate humility, not to know everything, not to want to control everything, to say "in accordance with the Divine Will and Divine Laws, for the good of all and of all creation".
As a last idea, before anything else, let us pray to see clearly, to discern, to meditate on what we read, to go through our personal filter, to feel if the information helps us and uplifts us, because "a single idea can grow to define us or to destroy us".
