To put it very simply, everyone has their own view of truth, even Truth with a capital P. That in itself would not be a bad thing if these truths were not considered absolute. It is similar to the story of the elephant and the five blind men, who each caught the elephant in a different place and because they could not see the whole, they described the elephant with five different characteristics. At the same time, all descriptions are true and correct from their own point of view, but none of them describe the elephant as a whole, but the elephant does not change. Each (earthly) person sees the truth from his own point of view, according to the cultural environment in which he grew up, according to individual dispositions, according to the level of knowledge and consciousness he has achieved, etc. But it is not by chance that it is said that the Truth is with God. Because since God “is above us”, we will get closer to the real Truth with a capital P, only when we also rise to a “higher level”, closer to God. God is not just a symbol, but in fact is supposed to be the goal, motivation and direction of our efforts. The paths we should follow were shown to us by several highly developed spiritual beings, such as Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, Krishna, Krishnamurti and others. They tried to show us the way to the Truth, because the real Truth is not a mental abstract or even an invented matter, but something much higher, actually existing on higher levels of being, which in fact every person can reach or at least take the right direction, only a person must not be lazy and comfortable to search within oneself, deep within oneself, because it is the most difficult, but the only possible, for every individual without exception, the only possible path, is one’s own path to the Truth, through one’s own inner Higher SELF, because there is a real connection with the spiritual levels and with God, which all religions so seek and which is so misunderstood. Many people try to follow someone else’s path, run through courses and seminars, but at the same time forget that he himself is the most ideal and only possible path for him, for himself. That is why it is written in the Bible that the road is so thin. And that’s why the oft-mentioned words of Jesus, deny yourself and follow me, are also helpful. To follow him not physically, but in the way, the teaching, the method by which he went, and to give up his lower self in favor of his true (also spiritual) Higher Self, which is the true path for every man. It is there for man to go in that direction, he can go in the way of Jesus, but also in the way of Krishna, but also in the way of Buddha (while these ways and methods are not equal to the ways and teachings of the individual respective religions, which have completely distorted the teachings and methods of their great “models” “).
So a person can know the real Truth only through himself, through his inner self. And the journey begins where our thoughts, our mental and emotional world end and the higher worlds begin = the deep inside of man (way, method – heart – soul – spirit). It is also related to the fact that many people consider the terms spirit and spiritual to be something abstract, invented, non-existent. However, the concept of Spirit is not an abstract concept at all, but a description of a real being, beings and levels that exist in reality. Our inner spiritual being is actually the living, inner Higher Self that animates a person and by the action of which a person is a living being and without which a person becomes a soulless animal (sorry, worse than an animal). There “up” is the Truth. “Down here” we only capture fragments of this Truth. That is why we can find in the Bible a mention of the connection between God and the Spirit: “God is a Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.” – So when we replace the word bowing with the word s/know, it is a description of the way and direction we should develop.hermann_wenng_8_20130901_1438288952
One’s own knowledge of the Truth in this way through one’s self (by experiencing and feeling it) and even as an imperfect expression of this truth in words, writings, etc. for that person is a much more perfect expression of Truth than quoting seemingly perfect words from books and spiritual teachers. This is the beginning of real spiritual work and at the same time the possibility of approaching our consciousness to higher levels of being. As we rise internally to God in this way, we do not need any mediator in the form of the church or any community. The true role of the church and any religion should be to show the way and the way to progress on the spiritual path. Just the way and the direction. Each person has to go through the path by himself (but each person has individual inner help if he is sufficiently open and awake).
There are three important ways to progress (and which people experience and feel in their own way, therefore there are as many methods and ways as there are people) namely the method of Love, the method of Justice and the method of Holy Will (of course, they can also be combined). These 3 methods merge at a certain level into one, into Unity.
Only with the help of experiencing and feeling can a person get closer to the Truth and get to know this Truth in its Original Essence. Everything is individual. What helps one person may harm another and vice versa. We forget that we are individual souls and not group souls. So you have to approach people individually and not condemn anyone. Not to mention that everyone has their own individual path of development. For someone in a certain period of time, fear can help, and for someone love, and for someone else humility, etc. Every stage of spiritual development is repeated in a person, but everyone goes through these stages in a different way, in different time and duration.
