Different folks different strokes, as I see it. All the wisdom traditions have their own merits imho.
As I was saying in the Spaces earlier (
x.com/spxspaces/status/20662…):
- I believe there are many legitimate paths up the spiritual mountain
- Consciousness expanding pursuits (e.g. psychedelics / sweat lodges / tantra / dance etc.) can give one a glimpse into the what/why bother (i.e. God)
- And/but God is an experience, It seems. It's ineffible, noetic, and can't be measured with our crude human instruments
- And/but ultimately that try-before-you-buy-taste-test-top-of-the-mountain-dew isn't real Enlightenment, and it can be a trap/short-lived.
- You end up back where the helicopter lifted-off from. And then back you must go to the chopping wood/carrying water up the mountain the hard/long way. Because the long way really is the fast way, oftentimes & of course?
- And anyone who says they know, doesn't (including me)
- Because I both do and I don't know
- Or rather (said another way): I both; and do/n't know
- And oftentimes we need the help of sherpas up the spiritual mountain. Such people might be called elders, guides, or gurus
- And/but we need to be very cautious of so-called "gurus" with God-complexes (been there/done that/got the t-shirt. Literally got the t-shirt: it said "both; and" on the front/but faded now, sadly. Such is life. Long/cool story, bro. For another day, perhaps)
- And/but ultimately the mountain starts/ends in the same place: God (or whatever you want to call It)
Furthermore, here some of my additional personal beliefs, for what it's worth (I might be wrong/right. It doesn't really matter & who knows. I certainly do/n't):
- Christ/Buddha etc. are "simply" archetypes that we all contain
- As above/below, within/beyond
- We are everything & nothing
- We are perfectly imperfect/flawed/perfect
- We are spiritual beings have a human experience, and vice versa
- We are all parts of God
- We are both wave and particle, depending how you see It
- We are light/shadow/shit/love
- We are all WIP
- Until the game of life, or "lila" (Hinduism) completes, and we realise that we are It
- It's the taboo of knowing OneSelf (and It is pretty taboo in some places, if you dig deeply enough)
- But b/c God knows everything and everyone, It (and by "It" I mean You/Me/Us All) likes to make the game hard for ItSelf. Because He's bored
- And God does seem to be a He, curiously. For All those who know Him. More on that later, perhaps...
- Which is a bitter pill to swallow for women, of course. Because women are also God, of course
- And/but perhaps closer to Mother Nature. Or "Gaia". Which is, at least to me It seems, "merely", "simply", & "just" ("this") One part of God. God Being the bigger/Whole picture.
- It's even bigger than Mother Nature (as in physically He's bigger/stronger)
- And He needs to Protect Her, of course
- And/but she(va/shakti) also needs to let Him. Which isn't always easy, of course. B/c it can be a very vulnerable place to surrender and receive (speaking from research/experience).
- It necessarily requires a helluva lot of trust to surrender/receive/submit (DYOR
#BDSM etc., if that's your bag)
- On trust:
@polymetric54 so cogently acrossed this in his excellent talk at the recent Amsterdam conference.
- Circling back: It's especially hard in today's world for men to "man/step up", systemically speaking (strong recommendation to deeply absorb
@RichardvReeves' work). See also
#DOAC
- And hence why I sense Spacey (and her impressive "lean in" A-types) are pissed. And rightfully so, honestly. I would also be pissed, tbf/h if I were a woman
- And let's always please remember the very meaningful difference/similarities between masculine/feminine (energy, not gender. Remember?)
- Which, ideally, we all have a balance of within (and beyond)
- Who(m)ever, and wherever we All are in life
- Which seems to be (in)finite to me
But again. What the bloody hell do I know! Everything and nothing, of course 😉
Anyways. Just some random ramblings from a nobody (in the grand scheme of things, that is. Unless...) from London at 6am BST (UTC 1).
I'll elaborate further later, perhaps.
Although if I got hit by a bus tomorrow/today, I'm glad I got to at least say this. For now.
I'm not even going to proofread what I've written, honestly (?). So excuse any typos in advance. My apologies. I'm only human (and...) after all.
It is what it is.
For now/ever...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
Good morning/evening, and God bless. ILY,
Chiron (Liam)

P.s. It's All very SPX-coded, wouldn't you agree?
