There Is No One Right Way
Each of us has our own personal problems, our own individual fixations, our own confusion. That is our path to resolve. The destination will be the same – the realisation that we are pure consciousness – but this is not the same as knowing about the destination.
When we know,
we can answer all our own questions.
Following anyone – even the Buddha – can only be a temporary event. If we fixate on their words, we are adding to our own confusion, and that creates an attitude. Our fixations depend on our environment, and we need to know how those fixations came about.
If we over-react, we merely cause more problems. Actually, seeing this over-reaction is the path – the fast path. When we stop reacting, we have arrived permanently.
Listening to people talk about the path can make us drowsy, and we just hang around with others, but in hanging out as a group, we can be prone to group drowsiness. Think of it as a mountain with many routes to the top; some seem to have an easier path, but that is a misconception, as they may just be enjoying the view. 🙂
It is through true confidence that we can help others find their footing by being confident.
No one is going to say, “Good boy!” or “Good girl!”.
It doesn’t work like that.
