A Crucifixion

A Crucifixion of Understanding

One can have something fixed in their mind and not remember the point in time when they accrued this opinion, but that does not mean that what they consider fact is correct. It very well could mean they have believed a misconception for so long that they have forgotten what it was like to live life without it. Gathering misconceptions, we build fortresses, and buttress the external lies with internal ones. Often the inner lies are the ones most difficult to see through. Admitting to yourself your own mistakes is the first and most important step on the spiritual path.

You can tell a person who is honestly doing inner work because the evolution of their being will be obviously manifesting improvements of character. Constantly watchful, every chance to heal or correct a metaphysical error is considered a blessing. Before anything else, awareness is the priority. This then makes everything illuminated with the wisdom of presence and the light of truthfulness. To misrepresent yourself is the most harmful thing you can do. What a pity people so often seek to deceive. They think that they are pulling a fast one, but the joke is on them.

When we decide to no longer sew a poor crop, we still have to reap the harvest of inconvenience that our past provides us. With patience and a focus on planting a better alternative, seasons will change and blessings will flow abundantly. There is no challenge too steep to overcome as long as you are still here. That is why it is so important not to get careless with your life. Consciously take the next step and it is much less likely that you will fall into a hole. Whether it is in this life or the next you will have to account for your choices. You might as well get it over with.

If you build a life around falsehoods it is surely as good as building a home on quicksand. It is not a question if things will fall apart, just a matter of when. There will be no way to salvation but through a crucifixion of understanding.
