How does a spiritual student stay neutral in the presence of so much negativity? How does one see and experience living in third dimensional energy of duality, separation, and many powers without entering into it? How to be in the world, but not of it? That is a question all serious spiritual seekers are asking in the presence of current world events.
Students of Truth are taught to stay neutral, interpreting outer appearances from the higher vantage of truth rather than from three dimensional standards based in beliefs of duality, separation, and many powers. Firstly always remember that the material world of both good and bad is a mind interpretation of a spiritual reality because everything is an expression of some aspect of God, the only substance there is.
When you see a tree, you are seeing a three dimensional concept of the Divine Idea of tree and everyone sees the same thing because there is only one mind (Divine Mind) and only one consciousness.(Divine Consciousness)
This does not mean ignoring gross injustices, burying one’s head in the sand , or standing on a soap box shouting that God is all and everything is illusion. It means staying centered in one’s highest awareness of truth while doing what needs to be done in the outer scene.
There may be times when you have to speak firmly to someone on their level of understanding or there may be times when you find it necessary to take a stand. In every situation, always silently realize that the person or situation you are dealing with is much more than what appearances would have you believe then take whatever human footsteps may be needed.
There may be times when the best action is no action but let this guidance come from intuition rather than from fear. Never allow yourself to be misused, abused, or led to believe that you are “less than” by another. Always remember that you are not a physical body with a mind but are consciousness, an individualization of the one Divine Consciousness presently utilizing a physical body in order to function in earth’s density.
Observe your reactions because reactions reflect a person’s state of consciousness. When we react negatively to some person, place, or thing even in a small measure, it indicates that we still carry the energy of some interaction or experience regarding this person, place, or thing. It could indicate that you still hold judgment and concepts regarding the rightness or wrongness of some person or activity. These old energies carried from lifetimes are presently clearing in order for the person to align with the higher energies of ascension.
Ask yourself; “What am I believing that is making me feel this way? In the light of what I know to be truth, is it correct?” Evolution is a journey, a process that does not happen overnight, or from some religious ceremony guaranteed to make you “holier”. Mankind has long been conditioned to believe that everything is black or white and minds must let that go in order to see everything from a more evolved standpoint.
Good appearances are just as illusory as bad appearances, and once we learn to interpret all appearances as being material, mind formed concepts of Divine Ideas, it becomes much easier to view personal and global issues from a place of detachment.
Moving into a consciousness of non-duality does not eliminate joy, for joy is a permanent quality of Divine Consciousness not dependent on something outside of self. If I believe that my happiness is dependent on some three dimensional concept my joy will come and go- (duality). If my joy is an expression of my consciousness of Oneness with Divine completeness, then it will manifest outwardly in forms that represent joy to me which may not be the same as that of my neighbor.
Every person is the wholeness, not a tiny bit of God/Divine Consciousness and as I increasingly move into that state of consciousness, mind will interpret it outwardly as…
