Italie 2012-05_L'importance de faire des distinctions claires dans la Spiritualité

I personally this is my personal experience after 26 years of teaching this in in the world I think there's a lot of confusion about and there's a lot of confusion about what enlightenment actually is what it means and the waters are very muddied for me personally so I'm what I try to teach in a way that is very clear and that is very coherent and I'm and it's very important to me that that my students and the students who mean even people that are just just here you're all my students for this retreat that people learn how to make how to make important distinctions about different levels of consciousness in different parts and dimensions of the self you have to learn how to do that Simply Having spiritual experiences doesn't teach you how to make these distinctions so this requires a lot of clarity and a lot of keen understanding and I and it's important for me to help people to make distinctions between different states of Consciousness in different parts of the self and actually know what they're talking about there are a lot of spiritual teachers and they're teaching this stuff that may have some higher development capacities but they still often they actually not clear about many of these distinctions and money up the waters so um but in order for me to help you to have this kind of clarity and make these distinctions you have to do the work that I'm asking you to do so you'll be able to really understand when I make these distinctions what I'm talking about for not only just as some abstract abstract intellectual idea but you'll also know from your own experience exactly what I'm referring to and the distinctions are very important the distinctions are important because there are different parts of yourself then there's different parts of myself and there's different parts of these self and there are also different states of consciousness and you have to know what you're talking about otherwise you're just going to end up in a big muddy soup you follow what I'm saying and the whole realm of spirituality is the place where everybody where you're generally allowed to be very sloppy in your thinking because it's spirituality so you know I feel it's very important to be very clear about these things so what I'm saying is you're not going to be able to follow me and stay with me and I appreciate the distinctions I'm making unless you actually do the work I'm asking you to do you father you won't know why I'm making the distinctions that I'm making and why I'm stressing their value or their importance if it's just if it's if you're only going to be if you're only going to follow me at the LA as as it's some kind of intellectual discourse you follow because there are different parts of yourself there are different states of Consciousness there's different parts of yourself and you need to you need to develop so much you're actually able to be clearly aware of what part of the self you're coming from you need to be able to know what part of the self you're coming from in every single moment you have to be that aware so you know exactly who you who you are and where you're coming from in every single moment and you also have to be able to be perceptive enough awaken up and enlightened enough to have a pretty clear sense of where other people are coming from most of the time now nobody can know all these things in every single moment but we can get pretty good at it you follow but you have to do the work if you don't do the work you know and if this take it takes an incredible amount of discipline and also you have to be interested in these distinctions for yourself you have to be really interested if you're not you won't do the work and you'll think it doesn't really matter anyway because it's all about peace and love right well a lot of people think that way somebody doesn't really matter because when it gets to spiritual spirituality it's all about peace and love and compassion and being a kind person and being generous that kind of thing and I think it's a bit it's about a lot more than that huh it's about being loving people say it's about being loving and about being kind but even the definition of what being loving and kind is Con the def the definition of being loving and kind changes according to the different different parts of the self you're referring to the different states of Consciousness that you're accessing to even the definition of what love and kindness is changes
