| When
you undertake a sincere spiritual quest, you have to
put aside all your beliefs, certainties and dogmas.
You mustn't reject everything, but you have to realize
that your beliefs are due to conditioning and are not
the fruit of your own experience.
The best thing to do is to remain in a state of expectation,
to stand back and observe.
For in reality the truths stemmed from Truth are not
to be believed but to be known.
You will have to experience them to understand their
deep meaning, beyond the words that cannot convey their
reality.
Knowledge frees you from all kinds
of belief.
To free yourself from ideology chains
and from conditioning, you have to distinguish between
the known, the field of your experience, and the unknown,
made of beliefs and postulates.
This attitude enables you to be more
receptive and lucid. You will easily observe that the
most extraordinary discoveries of Man seemed initially
totally crazy for the majority, and people harshly fought
them as such.
At a not so remote time, men were condemned
and killed by society which considered them as heretics
because they claimed that the Earth was round, and contradicted
the "specialists" of that period.
The history of humanity is marked by examples of that
kind.
Actually, the visionaries have always been banished
from the society. First regarded as madmen, heretics,
psychopaths, they were acknowledged after their death
as precursors.
The one who accepts his beliefs as
truths, even if they are truths, cannot know the deep
meaning of the truths he supports.
The one who fantasizes, creating imaginary "truths",
loses touch as well with reality.
As for the seeker, he doesn't let himself
be indoctrinated by belief nor seduced by the fantasies
of mind.
He cultivates discernment. He knows that Truth is often
rejected by the reason first. He understands the meaning
of paradox.
He knows that what seems inconsistent, repellent, foolish,
or madness to the mind is consistent, attractive, reasonable
and great wisdom to the spirit.
He who is led by his mind dreams of getting rich materially,
thinking that worldly wealth is the way to freedom,
happiness and great pleasures.
The spiritual, wise man, knows that
the only wealth is spiritual, it is access to Knowledge
which frees from the fantasy of this world. He also
knows, by experience, that worldly goods are hindrances,
and are a source of attachment to futile things of which
we become the slaves.
He knows that physical pleasures are submitted to the
law of duality, and behind pleasure is the pain to come.
Don't forget that Truth doesn't stem
from Man's mind but from God's spirit, from the universal
Consciousness.
To access it, man has to be humble, for if it is true
that his reason, his mind, is a springboard, a raft
which enables him to reach the other bank - the one
of Perfect Consciousness -, once he has attained the
bank, if he wants to continue the journey, he will have
to leave the raft, or it would become the greatest handicap
!
On this new, unknown land, he will
have to learn everything. He will have to get rid of
his old clothes.
Because on this new land, you are led
by your intuition and not your senses nor prejudices.
On this new land, intelligence is not
intellectual nor personal, but spiritual and accessible
to anybody. It is a universal heritage.
On this new land, we speak the language
of the heart,
we see with the heart, we hear with the heart.
Welcome to all the people who want
to live on the new Land.
