The Quest for Deepest Truth of Human Existence.

[Drifter]

Y(our) own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.

An adaptation of a saying of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. The entire passage reads, “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
The meaning of the passage is disputed, but seems generally to be that the followers of Jesus should pass his message on to those most likely to accept it.
Generally, to “cast pearls before swine” is to share something of value with those who will not appreciate it.

The children of the future most beneficial to the human race, imho, will be those whom have had a structured foundation of conditioning and enculturation. Such as produced the Saints and Sages of antiquity, throughout the ages. So much depends on a childs 'capacity' for open-mindedness. imho

Welcome back, Drifter.

I've been away for a little while...having recently experienced a tragedy, your link is very timely for me. I'm beginning to wonder if bi-polarity is actually the state of being caught between an epiphany and ignorance...

Thank you Leskey.

Thinking makes it so. Thoughts put us in, a prison of our own making. Think the thought, experience the feeling/emotion attached?

Change

"We have been asked most often the formula for changing the course of one's life. Change is a variable in a singular life that will alter circumstances for the better or worse. The core of change exists in all incarnate souls, however, it is most perceived as an external device. This is unfortunate in the regard that the changes desired often do not manifest in the way one had desired in the onset.

The only path to true change of any kind is to first change yourself. This can be as simple as a thought process or as complex as a life pattern.

Those who participate with you in linear will not change in accordance with your thoughts for they usually have no idea what your thoughts are, they only perceive their own.

Therefore, the only useful tool for change within your command is in yourself. If you feel unsatisfied with the current moment examine the thought process that led you there. Alter it and see where it takes you. Those who participate with you will either adjust or excuse themselves to your energy.

Of course it takes a certain amount of bravery to adjust yourself to your own path. Change in fact can be frightening if you are uncomfortable with yourself. Change eliminates those no longer appropriate to your current condition.

We caution expectation of change in others, they are merely reacting to your own energy. The path to change is indeed within you.

Once your change yourself to your liking, everything else will indeed manifest. It just takes courage to enlist your own energy.

Be brave and change yourself. All will alter accordingly."

Both your post and this one were in my inbox today.

I hope you are well Lesk.

"the state of being caught between an epiphany and ignorance..."

During the still state of tranquility [quiet acquiesscence] which is brought about by meditation, a persistent state that is neither epiphany nor ignorance, is attainable, and with practice surrender and acceptance] can become..., ambulatory, peace, love, and equanimity.

All three states happen in the "Infinte Consciousness'.

We mis-identify with our choices. ["I", think this or that]. Consequently; We live and die [ultimately experience happiness or unhappiness], moment to moment, with the decisions we make.

Happiness, is an inside job.

How do I love thee [me]; Let me count the ways.

Be the best Mother/Father/Sister/Brother/Friend/Self, to yourself, any kid could ever hope to have.

Namaste`

Warmest Wishes Leskey.

P.S. [Please forgive me for being so presumptuous/bold as to offer you advice as I sense your emotions. It is only offered in/out-of, Love]

Perhaps I am among the unevolved when I suggest that our very nature is both our most limiting and our most liberating potential.

Aedh Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
enwrought with golden and silver light,
the blue and the dim and the dark cloths
of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
