:: 343 Altering Perception

There’s something I experienced where in spiritual consciousness, humans teach other humans and what is taught is said to be true the way it is when it is. But then when you see the same human teach the same thing again at a different moment in time, the same thing said conflicts with itself. And to me, this creates a great deal of confusion because there is this idea that you go to experience a spiritually conscious teaching and you are going to a human that “knows”. And then when you experience this, it makes you say to yourself, “they can’t know in an absolute way because they wouldn’t be saying conflicting things at two different points in time.

And when I see this over and over again, I cannot for the life of me see how it’s okay to ever attempt to do that to another human, where you tell yourself you know you know and so you are “capable” and “authorized” to be the one who’s allowed to sit on a stage (or even off a stage talking to a stranger) and tell them what they need to know and how they need to be.

I knew this was really odd, and even though I would experience it over and over, at some point I actually came to this place where I realized, there’s actually a perspective you can have, where you deliberately put the shape of your brain into a particular shaped state to perceive through, and then the way you perceive through the shaped state of your brain shows that it is true in both moments, and equally untrue in both moments just by altering the physical shape of your brain and perceiving life through it. You have this ability sense many of these “teachings” are on Youtube.

When you do this, you’ll experience that it is actually your brain that’s giving off the idea through the shape of it affecting your perception which makes you think they are more qualified to be on stage than you. I used to mix music, studio, live, etc. And I would always be around “the artists” and I would look at them and go, I don’t really understand what makes them be the one’s on the stage and not me. They are no different than me, they are completely down to earth normal humans just like me. They also treat me like I’m one of them too.

It’s really the same thing here but in a slightly different manner. And it leads me to this place where within my experience of also experiencing this on stage within a religious setting, while the artists are very down to earth and normal like any other human, and do not give off this sense of, “I’m allowed and able and authorized to be on stage and you aren’t and I’m better than you” type of vibe, I would get quite the opposite vibe in the religious setting where the human is apparently the one allowed to be on stage an no one else is. There’s some immense amount of arrogance and ignorance in that. But is it your perception, or is it not?
