I’m pushing myself to take all that I’ve learned over the years and figure out how to teach it to others. How do you take someone from their current level of spirituality and open them up so they grow? Spirituality is not something that you can say, this is wrong, and this is right, so accept it. Yet it also can’t be ignored in the Jedi path. So I’m trying to figure out what is the core of spirituality, and a way to get someone to a level of spiritual awareness and cultivation. I’m not talking about forcing someone, but to help the Jedi student become a more balanced and aware person.
My problem is that I am a very subconscious person. I walk my path very intuitively, without taking much time to dwell on how I got somewhere, or reflecting back. Instead I just keep moving forward with new questions, new awareness, and new understanding. That makes it quite hard to make sense of and pass on to others.
I recently purchased Neale Donald Walsch’s Happier Than God book. So far it’s all things I knew, including some things I discovered on my own which makes me feel pretty good. But it is helping me clarify a few things. I’ve come to realize that I don’t think there are new teachers for me anymore. It’s like I’ve caught up with my old teachers in many ways, there aren’t new things to learn. What is necessary, however, is depth. I’m going to go back and re-read the other Walsch books and see what I learn this time around. I see things in a different way than even a year ago that it might be quite interesting.
In the end, though, my struggle is in pulling it all together and applying it. I’ve had my moments, but I still have a ways to go.
What’s funny is some of the newer big ideas are coming from The View from the Center of the Universe. It pulls together science and spirituality from the perspective of the scientist, which is so nice. It’s very hard to read people who aren’t physicists distort physics to suit their needs. I’m not saying they’re wrong, but they may be coming to the right conclusion in the wrong way. So I’m learning about the power of mythology and it makes so much sense! It draws together spirituality, all this deity stuff that’s been popping up, the Jedi stuff, so it’s pretty cool.
Anyway, I’m quite tired at this point. I think the crazy people outside are gone so I can rest. I just hope I find some answers soon. Not that it will stop me, I just want to get working on this project. lol
