Embracing Dragons

On ancient maps when cartographers would reach the end of what was known they would often write “There Be Dragons” to denote the unknown existing beyond the edges of the known, fear inculcated as fact. Being a metaphysician, I find that margin note quite appropriate when embarking on any attempt to teach spiritual truth and principles. With thousands of different Christian Churches, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism and God only knows how many other religions big and small believing in all manner of things, many of whom claiming they are the only, one true path or church, the appearance of dragons on this subject is guaranteed.  

Of course we should stay open to all teachers; the mistake is when we make them “sacred cows”, placing them on metaphysical pedestals, beyond question or error.

To be clear: we will have many teachers in the course of our spiritual awakening. We learn from them, but remembering in God’s eyes all are equal, student and teacher, and when we are called on to teach, and we will be, we rejoice. All that is required to become enlightened is an open mind and heart, coupled with a willingness to serve a greater destiny than our limited (secular) imagination can conceive. So, listen to opposing viewpoints and engage in constructive dialogue where appropriate, be very wary of dragons here though and never argue with a closed mind, leave them gently with a silent prayer and filter everything through Spiritual Truth, as you understand it, for we have ceased fighting everything and everyone and love is the weapon we employ when encountering dragons.
