This note
is not about being stimulated by
this note. This note is
about certain things you need to learn if you want to make
real progress in the universe. You have inner barriers
to necessary learning which therefore have to be identified
and overcome. If you now want to identify and overcome
your inner barriers to learning, begin with the next note.
This note
is about one of your learning disabilities. You have
a problem of wanting to focus exclusively on a path of human
development that was created for the people of a language
and culture of a certain historical era of those people. Your
learning disability here is your proclivity toward imitation
and secondary realization, which means that
instead of developing higher experiences and capacities,
you only learn a new language and try to act like people
of a certain culture. You then begin to feel that the
more cultures you can imitate, the more advanced you might
be, which is to mistake a horizontal extension for in-depth
vertical uplift.
This note
is about another of your learning disabilities, which is
that you try to rely on a single formula of development,
whether it be Sufi action, Zen
koan, Hindu mantra with breathing,
or any other culturally imbedded method, which includes apparently
non-cultural approaches, such as Krishnamurti
open meditation outdoors or Rajneesh
tantric sex permissiveness and heightened indulgence. The
idea of a single formula can happen within or around any
culture, even if the culture does not seem to be a culture. This
learning disability is only overcome by connecting with guidance
that would enable you to enter a usefully total pattern of
multidimensional efforts and meditations that do not reject
or neglect important zones of your being, life and thinking. This
means, for instance, that merely reading notes every
day, such as you may be doing lately, is not itself an all-sufficient
development, though it is obviously an indispensable part
of something. Try to understand this for real before
you go on to the next note.
This note
is about the evolutionary aspirant with a learning disability
of remaining a fascinated consumer of unusual
phenomena, wonders and stimulating information. This
is your tendency to require pleasure in
your studies so that you cannot give sustained attention
to an important issue nor make a consistent effort with genuine
initiative of your own. Lacking a real sense of direction
and purpose, you tend to wander from “hit” to “hit” like
a junkie of the occult, the weird and the esoterically titillating. As
a modern consumer, you have allowed yourself to be trained
as a dilettante rather than to be inducted into a true and
comprehensive path. Unable to recognize your needed
areas of self-improvement for right works of service – or
unable to follow-through in them where you do recognize them – you
play around with various books and methods in a random way
making short-lived experiments at most. If you now
see that you suffer from this learning disability and want
to learn to overcome it, read the next note.
This note
is about your learning disability of wanting
more and more information and convincing about a needed area
of commitment and sustained effort or practice before you
will give commitment and action. Instead
of developing your being, you develop your confusion and
weakness. You make a problem of realization into a
problem of faith. You pretend that you are not lazy,
distracted and procrastinating, but that you are a valuable
human being who has just not been adequately persuaded, convinced
and given faith somewhere. Do not go on to the next note
session if you have not come to a space of greater self-honesty
about your learning disabilities.
