I have a question.

[Guest guest]

I have a 'conviction', as far as that goes, that I feel obligated to

inform others about the 'dark side'. What I refer to as White and Dark

of the coin. I can best explain this by using my own model.

 

In my realizations I have opted to be husband and father. However, I

realize that I could have left my family and taken with me my

realizations and my life would have been just as fulfilling if not, as

far as the imagination goes, better.

 

When I discuss a way of life and the choices within, I feel that, unless

I give the 'worldly' side of the view (dark), then I have not been true

to myself and to those that I am speaking.

 

How do you feel about this? Is it right to share 'all' or to share

within the goodness of my own model? Is there not a moral obligation

here to share both sides of the coin then allowing the witness to

decided for themselves which path they take? Or do I give them what they

need so that the two sides or paths are discovered on their own? Yet, if

I accept some responsibility for this choice, then I feel the need to

spare them the struggle that takes hold as a part of awakening. It was a

very violent internal struggle and although I made my choice others may

destroy their lives as they may not make an informed desicion as the

mind is not working clearly while awakening.

 

Make sense?

 

Regards.

Dear Tim, I think the answers to some questions must come from within. Many

people go through spiritual struggles. If one can help one should certainly

do so. Wise people say that there is a Higher Divine Power at work which

looks after the welfare of all and one should surrender to that and become

the instrument of Divine Will. After all, the Final and Ultimate burden is

that of God and it is by His/Her Grace that we breathe, live, suffer, enjoy

pleasures and pains. It is by that Grace only that we see we are not

separate for God. Perhaps if we love each other enough, that is enough. Bu

if to love is our very nature, then I do not know for sure what our

responsibility is to "others".
