Spiritually-Wise Is Worldly-Wise
‘Spirituality’ isn’t something that has been depicted for thousands of years as being up in the sky with wings. Spirituality is simply consciousness. This is not a vague idea; it is that which is aware. We are consciousness and, being consciously aware, we can deal with whatever the world throws our way, because if we know the truth of our reality, we know what isn’t the truth.
What isn’t our reality is the deceit behind the scenes that obscures it: concepts, beliefs, ideas. If we are unaware of our true nature, we have been deceived, believing our mental state is all that there is. Worldly people are bound up in mental inventions that distract them, not realising that they’re being played for fools.
Politics, religion, our standing in society … these are entertainments to ‘bind’ us to opinions about who is good and who is bad, while the puppet masters see to it that the show goes on.
If we just believe, we can be made to believe anything.
If we fall for this charade we are worldly, but never wise.
When we know what we are,
we no longer have to believe; we are wisdom itself.
When we see both sides at the same time,
they become a unity
– a spontaneous reminder of what is real and what isn’t.
