The Blind Leading the Blind

Here's another thing I just thought about that is quite different than I think other people, especially if you're ruthlessly honest...

No matter who the person happens to be — I will never relish or rejoice in another man's downfall.

Choices have consequences, that's for sure. A natural law and order should be greatly considered. But as for me... There's nothing in my inner psychology or constitution that desires to entertain or bear witness to another person's fall from grace or their pain and suffering in general.

I don't need to put anybody in their place. I don't have to make things what it's not. I don't have any heaviness or any hint of resentment in my heart for anyone — but at the exact same time I can directly take care of business when it comes down to it.

It's best that we deal with danger and prevent its momentum, but we don't need to continually entertain our fellow man as threats and opportunities.

Seeing vs. Entertaining

And that's how most human beings entertain their fellow man. They do not see — they can only entertain.

The difference is day and night.

What will be a person's experience is exactly what will be. I don't need to objectify it or even judge it or even participate in it.

I would much rather see and participate in the cultivation and curation of personal self-resolution and realization so that the human being may best and optimally relate to the outside world at large.

And if your mind is dysfunctional, it is highly likely that the relationship with all others extended outward will be dysfunctional to the precise degree.

Life is a lesson. A curriculum. It is wise to learn the language. And be able to work with the basic building blocks.

But you cannot change and tame what you cannot name.

Grace

Most people never had a fighting chance to begin with, so my deepest compassion resides with them.

They know not what they do and the blind have been leading the blind for so long that nobody knows what end is UP.

But I actually do.

Because of the act of self-actualization through the primary faculty... of what I can only say is... Grace.

We don't do anything on our own.

And for the deepest of spiritual battles, no matter how fortified and battle-tested we are... we can never do it alone. And that is strongly a part of the curriculum itself.

And that's what makes it so powerful. That's what makes the truth itself so powerful. It can move mountains.

The Vacuum

But if your relationship is with a delusion and an inability or desire to establish a relationship with that which is... then you will fall prey to the dark and darkest of other forces at large.

A prepared mind is a well mind.

Poverty is a disordered mind.

And the vacuum will be filled with something — and that something will be darkness.

But if you don't know this... If you don't really, really and truly know this from the pit of your every particle... If you have yet to have the experience... You may just wander through this experience never ever knowing.

Too distracted. Too distorted. Too wrapped up. Too self-assured. Too drugged, boozed up, programmed and bamboozled... to know any goddamn better.

The Pharisees

The powers that be, all these so-called ruling elites... The Pharisees have never been able to get in themselves. Not a single one of them, no matter how polished and well-played their words.

They are truly architects of the deceiver.

Many are conscious and cooperating. They buried the keys, they hid the keys and pretended that they entered. And they never let you in. They will never let you in.

They can have that theater.

Where there's a will, there's a way. But without Grace... and without putting in the actual work... you've got no chance.

And rightly so.

Life is a curriculum.

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to."
— Matthew 23:13
