Taking the teachings seriously

[Terell Kirby]

Come to realize there’s a subtle distinction here. For me to truly take a teaching a spiritual teaching seriously- I’d have to work pretty hard in creating the conditions to come to same realization as the teacher.

Not through simply reading or intellectualizing; I need a direct experience of what the teaching is saying. I cannot truly grasp any teachings thru language alone. Learning via spiritual texts will forever be limited in this way.

Actualized.org for example, I spent the first 3-5 years watching tons of content, journaling, contemplating. It was until I really started to push against the method of: me + Leo + listening to/watching - for me to grasps that I could only go so far with it. I now do my best to find deeper and more nuanced ways in observing my mind constructing reality in ways that were not as accessible through consuming content alone. Nonetheless I had to start somewhere.

Don’t take my word for it, but the most powerful teaching one can ever give you is that you are God, and that you are constructing all of reality. Grasping intellectually is great, but once you get a direct insight- your experience of life will never be the same. You’ll recognize it as such when you do :-), and you’ll no longer need any validation from teachings/teachers - you’re imagining all of it.
