Drowning in Knowledge / Starving in Wisdom - The Online Enlightenment Paradox

[Ramasta9]

Greetings All 🖖

I wanted to share this post in response to reoccurring patterns I see on this forum and others alike, especially around topics like enlightenment, truth, spirituality ect... What inspired me to make this topic is the constant stream of posts of newly acquired knowledge that often isn't truly embodied by the people sharing it. This is a type of mental awakening that convinces the ego that its "figured it out" and must share immediately. In reality, its the ego clashing with the greater truth its glimpsing, struggling to integrate it, and instead of sitting with it and harnessing its fullness, there's an uncontrollable urge to broadcasting it outward, a subtle form of escapism, that actually redirects and suppresses facing and embodying the truth in a grounded sense.

This becomes clear in the interactions and back-and-forth exchanges on these forums. Someone claims they "figured it out", then goes to argue with anyone who challenges them, insisting their true or way is the only way. This, in itself, is the distortion at play. If you were truly anchored in truth, nothing would shake you or trigger an intense need to defend it, and there wouldn't be such a strong urge to convince others you found the truth, because the truth doesn't require us to keep it alive, only illusion does.

Someone truly grounded and embodied in their truth often will often make posts that are profound and move people, rather than multiple posts that ignite chaos and confusion in the comments. That very chaos reveals the lack of groundedness and stability in ones own truth, actions and words, and overall misalignment in oneself.

As someone who has been on the spiritual path for a long time, I've spent many years observing things that others often miss, and that when we share things excessively, our progress, realizations, glimpses, or visions, especially on an online platform with a wide-audience, we often run into challenges and tend to bite off more than we can chew. Over-sharing can almost neutralize the progress itself, preventing it from achieving any tangible results. I've noticed this in my life on quite a few occasions, when i realize something, if i share it too soon, it never lands too well, and a challenge comes up to see if I can hold it down.

The reason I make this is because I see many who are preaching and boasting an ~enlightened energy~ like they have it all figured out, then shortly after someone says something that bursts their bubble and challenges their realizations or ideas and it becomes a huge argument and back and forth that goes for days or weeks on end, its really not a good look to the outer community and those who are just waking up and seeking guidance on these platforms.

Imagine someone who is just staring out and needs some guidance, comes onto this forum and sees the mess people are getting into, they may reject the spiritual path or path of truth and enlightenment altogether.  What we send out comes back to us to see if we are truly what we say we are. The ripple effect ~

Many of the words used by some members on this forum are lack substance and depth, and are often contradictory, and although there is truth there, they don't land too well because they come from mental space and not a integrated space, Its not in the bodies and bones yet, it has yet to settle in the soul. Knowledge becomes wisdom only when its lived and embodied, and that wisdom is what glows upon the aura that then radiates through the eyes and expression that people can feel, because if you want your words to truly help people and truly land into the hearts of others, it is better savour the experiences you are having for yourself, resist over-sharing impulses, follow your intuition, not your mind. Ask yourself: What is this urge to share this realization? learn to feel...

We want to feel your words not just read them, that's what reveals growth and change, that's what makes an impact on people's lives, when what you say and how you live (words & actions) are in alignment, and the truth has fully landed in you.Instead you could gather that energy to create and share something extraordinary, maybe even write a book one day. You could write something that changes someones life one day.

Many of us tend to do this early in our awakening process, which can prevent one from developing enough focus and energy to actually create something for themselves for long-term support, and many tend to fall into this trap and don't end up doing much in terms of real growth and expansion and being of greater service to the world than wasting countless hours sharing words online that don't really get anywhere significant or can provide any form of foundational support for the energy expressed. It is wiser to focus on more creative ways to express the truth you feel, rather than always attempting to explain or discuss it online, actually learn to sit with it until it integrates in your cells, and turn it into art and music for example, that's true alchemy and integration of truth.

This is why silence, solitude and inner-stillness is often an advised practice on the spiritual path, it allows the time and space to solidify your realizations into being, to build up your focus into what you truly want to create in this world and your life. When I see people who have been recently given the "spark", I feel a need out of love to support them while the energy is still fresh, otherwise it may turn sour if not properly guided, as it does for many. Not that I need to be the guru or teacher, its just like a seeing your own child, or brother, or sister who could use a helping hand... seeing the Oneness, been there done that, experience > wisdom.

This is what the master or guru and friend is there for, not to appear better or more advanced, just someone who can nudge you back to balance and guide you while you are being reborn and seeing the world anew. Who has already made many mistakes in life, who is adding the finishing touches, while you have only jumped into a new territory altogether. Who has already planted and created an entire garden, while you are still learning to properly plant a seed, and who has failed more times than you have even attempted, done a lot of the hard work and paved the way. This may be triggering, but its truthful.

In the end, all of these words really mean nothing when actions speak a louder truth. That's what I am attempting to point out and what ends up draining the seekers more than they realize. I am simply passing on similar wisdom many great souls passed onto others. Refrain from sharing your progress and realizations too soon or excessively, beware of seeds of doubt planted upon others, rather show them your results instead when you have already mastered your craft, keep close to God/Self with your realizations, and God/Source shall refine them in an unique way that sets the foundation for your life.

The deeper the roots of a tree develop, the farther its shoots can reach, the greater the strength and stability in its being, and the greater the fruits of wisdom it can produce. Then no matter how many storms come, it remains unshaken.  Humanity today needs depth, wisdom, grounding, embodiment and first-hand life experience, not something we picked up thru a book, online or glimpsed thru substances without actually putting it into a grounded practice, that then births that energy as the very being you are. Because I could say something that's ripe in me and change your life, but if its not ripe, the same words will have little to no effect.

That's all for now, hope this makes sense 🙏

No ones tryna be a master or guru except you and other AI fan boys. Most people who come on here claiming to be guru or master are morons and constantly Virtue signal. The only reason you come off so nice is cause you filter your thoughts through AI. The AI is programmed to sound smart caring and not mean. If I ran my posts through an AI filter I would sound just as calm and gentle like a chill guru master.

I have nothing to prove here, I am simply being myself and expressing what I feel needs to be said, because no one else is sharing this perspective.

Its no surprise that such a reply was made, this is exactly the type of immature exchanges and reactionary responses I am talking about in this post. Full of projections.

@Ramasta9 The real projection is you getting offended. My words mean nothing.

Mere deflection and a reversal of emotional responsibility.

@Ramasta9You dont understand what inner stillness means it dosent mean be quite all the time, it means engage with life and not be moved by it. I moved you with words ,you get offended. Thats not stillness so why are you telling us about inner stillness? This forum is teaching people about inner stillness by doing this.

There was a woman on here who recently wrote how the forum is bringing her inner stillness via arguing with intellectuals.

This forum is a type of yoga.

Its like a zen monastery where your ego gets intellectually hit by a stick every second until you stop caring.

This is classic projection: You are trying to project what I "moved in you" onto me. 

You're creating the emotional disturbance (the provocative words, the judgment, the insult), but attempting to shift the responsibility onto me, implying I failed to embody stillness.

In reality, I am not offended at all, and you are only solidifying and proving my point of why i made this topic to begin with. Such behavior only validates the topic of the post: The forum being full of reactive, projection-laden, ego-driven exchanges.

Thanks for being the perfect example.

Barely agree with you on anything here but your responses here are on point. Never agreed more. Not sure about the AI stuff but just in general. He made a similar post not too long ago too. Gets a kick on putting people down while lifting itself up.

Whats truthful will always be triggering, I cannot help that. I can only be myself and express authentically. I have absolutely no need or desire to put others down, what I am doing is freeing and liberating, if you can ground yourself and put your ego aside, wisdom can shine through.

Didn't want to keep it up and he wasn't rude so it's best to just leave it alone. It's fine.
