“A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart?
If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t it is of no use.”
― Carlos Castaneda

“There is no path to truth, because truth is a living thing, it is not a fixed, static, dead thing..”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
I had the fortune to meet an amazing being. She was one of those souls so powerful, to shine with her golden energy through her body.”
She fought against cancer, and died in struggles. Her path became her journey when, in fear, she stopped listening to her heart and blindly turned into her mind solutions and its believes this, in an attempt to keep the dream (illusionary word ) alive.
It is only when your path becomes the journey that the dreams turns into a nightmare.
A path, however, is not a journey. It is just a path of the many available and, when stops to be a path, a way to… and becomes the journey, the journey ends.
We lose touch with truth and the infinity within us.
After she did exit the Maya (illusionary world), she told me : “Silvia, there is nothing here worth fighting for….”
I knew she was right.
The truth is so much beyond everything we think we know.
As I was discussing with my group, if you let your mind choose, you are leaving your journey.
Only a pure heart, knows where to go. Awareness has no words, no time, no space. Awareness is mindfulness or what Mr Hubbard called “TR0: simply be there and perceive.” at its higher sense.
A path has many different pebbles on the road. Different sizes and colors. Those pieces are data; opinions and ideas which are the result of combination of data and their expression in its infinite forms. But no matter the combination, they remain pebbles and they are just a road, not the journey.
What’s the importance if we call a stone with a different name or we see different angles of it?
Aren’t we all going somewhere while we walk on the path, this is if you walk on the center, on the banks or on the side?
People like to name the stones and/or rebuilt the path, and loose sight of the journey and the fact that is just a path… with sand, rock or pebbles, whatever it might be.
The point is: is this path taking you were your want? or is it taking you were the minds and its ego wants to go?
As we were discussing yesterday with my group, when we connect to spiritual teachers, to awesome auditors, to masters or to those shiny beings, we are connecting to an high awareness: awareness to awareness and through this connection miracles happens… no matter what technique one uses, which words or subject.
Those a people or places of power. This is the magic of the Holy Spirit (awareness)
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”
Matthew 18:20
And that is exactly the power of our group. And by such connection we catalyze changes, everyone it’s own ways….
I met an auditor back in 2009, and she became my best friend and my spiritual sister. Her name is Aida Thomas. In all my Scientology life, I have never met anyone who has better understanding of the principles of Scientology than her. No class IX or XII. None. She has something few people have; Spiritual power and Awareness. Her lectures are a treasure as they carry this vital energy in every word.
And so it is, for the many Master, Mr. Smith and many others. It does not really matter what they say, which color they choose. You are in their presence and miracles happen, as long as you and them validate this level of infinity.
With my group we work on assigning the right ownerships to every plane, and the understanding of the law of the Maya (MEST; matter, energy, space, time) is to understand the trap…
Is it necessary to understand the mechanic of this illusionary world in order to go anywhere?
NO, but it is one of the many paths.
“Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.
This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.”
