Topic: only the strong survive restless soma

[Endless~Knot]

Seriously it is true.

Some folks have left cause real life just called them away and it was understandable. But others got rubbed the wrong way from the energies here and had to go.

Its like Michael said, the forum is about the double. Let me explain a little more on that, and why some dont make it.

First, it requires changing much about the self, when you come here, and incorporating it into real life. The double finds change critical, because we have to do certain work here, to make it to the infinite. We need the double to make it to the infinite. But in turn, the double needs us, and to make certain changes to make it to the infinite too. If we remain selfish, stubborn, and self centered, when it comes time to die, and we pass, we will miss our appointment with the infinite. Then who knows our fate. Do we come back, become an IB, become an animal? I dont know, but we dont make it to the infinite.

This is not a path of salvation. The Eagle does not save us, and we have to be real sneaky to get past the eagle. We be sneaky but cannot necessarily outwit it. We will have to face the all knowing eye of the eagle at death. How we will be able to go on past the eagle is really up to how we take care of our tonals here, and what work we can possibly do at the second attention.

Coming here is no easy task. Yes Michael may rub you the wrong way. He is not going to 'give you a hug' and a 'kiss on the cheek' and tell you he loves you and all that. However he does care and has his reasons he is in the position he is in. This information is free and the advise is free - no strings. What you do with what you read here, and how to groove with the energies here is up to you.

Going to other forums and beating up on Michael is not going to get you to the infinite. You need to take the path seriously. If you want freedom, great, but you need power as well. You need to be impeccable on the journey. You need to learn everything you possibly can, and surround yourself with people who have knowledge as well. We never learn it 'all' and we never stop learning. I am still learning each and every day, something new, about the spiritual, and importantly, about myself.

So this is why I say only the strong survive this place - because the double is pressing you to evolve. If you do not evolve, you will not pass. It is a matter of life or death. We must confront our death if we want life.

We are here not only because we want to live, but we want to have a say where we go when we die. You do not want to be a leaf in the wind on your deathbed. You want to have some say in the journey. Doing the work is necessary and we do not have time to lose.

Another thing which is important too, is to be focused on the spiritual every day, in some form. Meditating, reading on spiritual things, if you can practice some lucid dreaming too. Basically doing as much possible as you can to develop into a spiritual being. And of course, working with the double to get this to manifest so you can grow. But this should be an everyday thing - surrounding yourself with the spiritual.

Do you think it's possible that someone may just outgrow the forum?  Or a particular teacher or group?

Yes that is true. And some folks just leave cause of life which I expressed. But some also got pod or got banned and they didnt make the grade.

It is true, I do push people, left right whichever way I can. I am also not interested in those who lack ultimate seriousness about this quest. My everyday life is filled with those, and I like them - they are my friends. But this place is for a different purpose. It is not a social scene. It is for those who want to learn, and are willing to change. That is the problem.

Don Juan mentioned about the path not accepting volunteers, because they come with their own agenda, and they don't want to change. This is why I said people come here due to the foreign instillation.

I wish the path were easier, but it's not. Everything must be sacrificed. By pushing people who come here, I am able to get them to a point of decision: do they want to change, or remain the same? Some change and some don't, but at least they have been shown the crossroads, where the Path begins. Who knows when they may wish to return?

Do I care if someone picks up the gauntlet, or not? No, I don't. This path only has room for acts of ultimate willingness. This is only hard for those not ready for such a commitment. It has nothing to do with me or Restless Soma - it's a door that simply exists in the universe, and we don't have much time before that door closes forever. I don't 'care', but I do get enormous delight when I see another being drop everything to which they cling, and stand ready on the road.

Well, I only asided it in that post, but it is really a very interesting question, that does require expanded understanding. perhaps EK could find the original quote, from which we could tease it out further.

Yes, but it is more than life and death, it is about our chance for eternity.

I wish I could be kinder, offer a comforting arm - you know we all seek a comforting breast at points in life, but one has to establish certain pre-requisites first before you can receive that from warriors of the path.

We only get one chance. In principle anyway - in practice, that chance can remain open for a limited time, but you must know, if you turn down an offer once, you are walking into oblivion.

A limited time! I wish I could be kinder, but I didn't make these rules up. I just stumbled over them and it made my hair stand on end. The universe is not kind!

The Bird flies. If by the fabulous luck of chance, we catch a glimpse of the Bird, and disdain it through our own stupidity, nothing can save us from being left behind. This has nothing to do with me or Restless Soma - it is in your own soul. But be warned - our souls are deceitful.

Good warning. And I agree on the eagle, lucky to glimpse it, just hope it is not the last thing I see and I end up in its beak.
