Just because I see it as I do doesn't mean I cannot see. That's rude and
presumptuous. I can see, and have seen, plenty. I'm not saying I've seen enough, but seen plenty.
I understand there are things I will question, like I said, it keeps me sane to do so. To insinuate I lack the ability to see, because I do operate this way, is wrong.
Course, I don't expect anyone to see that, anytime soon.
I'll keep questioning testimonies, and teachers, and others, regardless.
Let me clear up my own motivations in asking you, by stating that I have no intention of steering you away from questioning. I love the questioning path. Some seem to see the path of questioning, and further my interest in scientific spirituality as a kind of detour or something. I listen to their concerns as they are valuable to me. But in my own work this path of questioning and scrutiny too keeps me sane.
For me one of the most useful things I can do is question, use my reason, and abide by what I am coming to call my spiritual common sense.
We each walk our own path and hopefully we all respect that. I would hate to see you stop questioning, as I see the value in doing so.
I'm very leery of these hierarchial beliefs of raising frequencies and being above others as it is. There is a certain 'self-importance,' even to fall into believing *I*, me and my *Self* are on a higher frequency than others.
It is funny how we can see the idea of being above someone or something as a self important thing. Yet, natural laws show that one thing can be higher than another without being more important. Is Kris really talking about being more important than others or is he just talking about being a high frequency than some? My computer may have certain parts in it that electrically vibrate at a higher frequency, but are they more valuable than the rest of the machine, no of course not. One theory even dictates that for one thing to go up in frequency another must go down, a kind of equivalent exchange.
What is valuable to one is not to another, it is subjective in that sense and what is truly valuable goes beyond the subjective. My frequency of vibration maybe higher than someone else’s and this is just a meta-physical fact, like gravity or kinetic energy. It has nothing to do with being more or less important.
Still, maybe there is more to this than meets the eye. Maybe there is some underlying propaganda about some people being more important than others. It wouldn't be unusual for such propaganda to exist.
Once you put the thought of being more spiritually 'evolved' somehow you are duping yourself. Even in Kris's post, he did say (regardless to the entity factor), his stagnation - when we remove the entity thing from it - became apparent when he realized some of this was due to the fact he thought he was 'spiritually evolved.'
So I yield on this, 'why' is important, to spiritually evolve. If it is for reasons to be better than others, or even see better than others, is this a trap too? There has to be another reason than that.
I'm not such a big fan of the evolution thing either. Well, I should say not of the more common views, I like Gurdjieff's view. Still when you get down to it these things should have nothing to do with ego valuation. In science it is often viewed as being about the species with the greatest potential of survival, so if we equate it to our world. Then, it would be about the people with the greatest potential to survive spiritually.
I may have a higher frequency but it does not mean I am more valuable. Heck, maybe those of higher frequency are less valuable because we wont be food for the Eagle, the earth, or the moon, if we make it that is. Personally, like I always say, I think it balances out in the end. Death being the great equalizer and all.
