 124. Philosophy � Greek |
There is a world of difference between knowing (artificial naming) and UNDERSTANDING (true knowledge).
Only those who seek the higher states of being - consciousness (spiritual perfection) for themselves and others are qualified to be the heads of state or of an ACADEMY (ancient spiritual school/ashram).The remainder of humanity is not yet ready because it is preoccupied, dominated and finally possessed by the MECHANISMS or basic MECHANICS of the lower EGO-I mind and mentality (the bio-computer brain and biological impulses) and therefore wastes its precious life, not "EXAMINING," but lost in the world of commerce and mercantilism (money-changers). There are those who do "work for a living," but are qualified to teach because their HONEST physical and spiritual work is offered in support of others. Was it not a simple "carpenter" that taught the world that "THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU" (Luke 17:21) and was it not a simple "stone cutter" who taught to anyone who would listen to: "KNOW-THY-SELF" as eternal spirit (i.e., experience they-self as eternal spirit).*
If there needs to be a reason to create a "class" (caste) distinction in human society...then let humans be classified on not what they do to survive...but in the class of "THOSE WHO TAKE" and the class of "THOSE WHO GIVE."
The more specifications that are added to an object, the more the brain "thinks" (actually assumes) it knows the object, and is now the master of that object.
The universal mind (spirit) does not have a limited brain (or need one).
Mind vs. Intelligence
The reason we are so confused, misdirected, and unspiritual is that our consciousness has been made to adapt to the views of men who have not been Enlightened by the Realization of God. We are a mind rather than intelligence. We do not openly Commune with what Is, and the One Who Is. Therefore, we must be liberated from false adaptation and self-defense, and we must be restored to the primal or ecstatic disposition of Divine Ignorance in the midst of all conditions. Then we do not resort to man and mind, but we are sensitive to conditions themselves, prior to speech and self. The brain and nervous system can then Commune, or Abide in unobstructed continuity, with the Current and Process of Existence, and the Great Secret will be revealed to consciousness.
There is Only One Truth
Every level of understanding can be argued coherently. Every stage of life is true within its own limits. But the Perfection of understanding, practice, and sacrifice is Realized only in the seventh stage of life. Therefore, all knowledge, all order, and all attainments must yield to the Wisdom of Perfection, the Wisdom of all Adepts in the seventh stage.
*Both Jesus and Socrates, as well as many others, have all taught the same teaching.
