Post No. 3,512 - The biggest blocks to learning

This is from the psychic devellopment course that I am (slowly) working on.  

In addition to consider different styles of learning, different forms of knowing, and the many interactions between character aspects and matters such as learning, knowing, and doing (ethically), there is one - or two very closely related - issue(s) that, in my experience, are the biggest blocks to learning: 

  • the far too persistent desire to please parents, authorrity figures, and peers - which is part of the desire for social connection / belonging, and to avoid exclusion / social isolation, which comes out of evolutionary experience as being necessary for survival (not everyone has this problem)

    Unfortunately, I have seen FAR too many people get flustered or upset when something they adopted because it came from their parents/authority figures/peers is shown to be wrong - to the extent that they resist the truth, as well as put themselves unnecessarily through an emotional wringer. 

    Why unnecessarily? Because their parents probably did the best that they could with what they knew, but knowledge is not static - it changes as new facts/information/perspectives become available, which is good, or otherwise we would still be trying to do everything with stone tools and wood fires. 

    Past knowledge, if it is merely flawed and not outright wrong (bigotry is also taught by parents, and that is clearly and definitely WRONG), could be noted or respected by a statement along the lines of "that’s interesting, until now I’ve always thought [o_
    o] ", but statements along the lines of "everyone knows [o_o]" are just bullying attempts to shame or embarrass others into compliance with, frankly, stupidity (dishonourable amathia)
  • similar to that,there are people who get upset if they consider admitting to not knowing something, or that knowledge has subsequently changed (i.e., they are now, and possibly always have been, wrong), or they feel they are being corrected by someone they view as having lower social status (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQIASB+, lower social classs, women, younger/older, disabled, different characteristics, etc)

For the sake of others, neither of the above sets of people should be allowed ANYWHERE near a spiritual or psychic group until they can get rid of what are kindergarten level flaws. 

And neither of the above sets of people will be able to learn properly until they have got those childish flaws - the biggest, in many ways in many situations, flaws - out of the way. 


Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider: 

  • there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking” 
  • I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Post No. 1,261 - Ethical Limits

As the two of you ☺ who have viewed my latest YouTube video know, I don't publish everything I know online.

A lot of what I do publish is carefully assessed with my BPM Guides to ensure that it is safe to publish - some information can be misused, and that doesn't get published. Some information is published under psychic protection to limit its spread.

I've had a few people ask why I don't do more to publicise the blog, such as using facebook. Well, apart from my ethical concerns with that platform, a lot of this is not meant to be easy to find: being prepared to make an effort is one part of demonstrating that you are worthy of knowledge. That's been a part of spiritual work for millennia, although most people tend to think of it in terms of quests - which are nowadays seemingly watered down to a guided meditation before tea time - it's not like social media, where the aim seems to be to get as many clicks/hits/likes as possible (although I do like people reading this, so I watch the stats with some interest). These days, life experiences are more likely to provide the same testing we used to get from dedicated quests, but that is still a slightly unsatisfactory substitute.

Going back to my blog, finding the blog is a spiritual test (and, like all such tests, can be affected by psychic attack, which every seeker's BPM Guides - and some others, such as me and those who apply what is on this blog - will address to the extent possible) - even the simple step of having to get an email to ask questions is a test ☺

Aren't I worried things won't be passed on?

No, although life demands mean it is quite likely I won't get to finish my writing in this life - and that is more an issue around success/failure of this life for me, than of the passing of this knowledge on to others.

Unlike the Western Mystery Tradition, most of what I use could be fairly easily rediscovered by people listening to their BPM Guides - although me doing this is more efficient, and allows future people to do their bit to refine, further develop and evolve this small part of the total package of spiritual and psychic knowledge that humans have access to. (Variety is a great thing, including in spirituality, where it allows people to find the path that is most effective for them.) 

As far as that goes, the knowledge of the Western Mystery Tradition came from somewhere as well.

In addition, the Higher BPM Forces guiding this planet are not idiots: they know not to leave this to just one channel, which is why we have things like people simultaneously making a discovery / invention.  I'm not the only person doing this type of work (I even know some of the others in the physical - and, sadly, they're probably the only people I would be ethically comfortable passing everything on to).

Anyway, food for a passing thought, perhaps.

And now for some food for breakfast 😀
