Staying On Our Path

When we join a spiritual organisation, we are on a path. It’s a toe in the water, but it isn’t necessarily our path.

Our path to enlightenment (the realisation of our true being) is clearing our unique obsessions and confusions. It’s definitely not acquiring others’ obsessions and confusions. It’s important to realise this distinction.

We have to have purpose, and purpose is to recognise those unique obsessions and confusions which obscure our true being of pure consciousness. Others’ mindsets may not suits us as, from our point of view, they follow paths of bureaucracy and fantasy.

It’s easy to fall off the path, but we can never fall off our path. It’s up to us to decide which path is more direct. If we can take responsibility for our own mind and not blame or criticise others, then we are on our path.

If we rely on a teacher, we haven’t realised the inner teacher that’s always with us, and that is our ego.

Wisdom isn’t doctrine; it cannot be learnt. Wisdom is recognising lived obsession and confusion which doesn’t ignore others’ suffering as it’s innate, unshakeable, compassionate understanding.
