Beware Dragons

Miracles Of Recovery

On ancient maps when the mapmaker reached the end of what was known they would often write in the margin “There Be Dragons” to denote the unknown along 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. The path of true enlightenment requires us to remain open to all earthly teachers; the mistake is when we make any of them “sacred cows”, placed on metaphysical pedestals, beyond question or error.

 

"We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality." Thich Nhat Hanh

All that is required to become enlightened is consistency and an open mind and heart, coupled with the willingness to serve a greater destiny than our limited (secular) imaginations can conceive. So, listen to opposing viewpoints and engage in constructive dialog where appropriate (be very wary of dragons here and never argue with a closed, dogmatic mind) filtering everything through your evolving Spiritual Truth and understanding and never be afraid to share your beliefs and truth tactfully through the prism of love, Dragons not withstanding.
