What does it mean to become self-realized? It means becoming aware of the universal cosmic power that is always available within. If we want to access this power, we must first know it exists.
But we cannot know what we do not yet know.
Our obliviousness to its existence is the great human tragedy.
Why we resist new truth
We need to cross a bridge—from what we have known to what is possible.
This is the most effective way to approach anything new—whether in science or in discovering truth.
Typically, though, we are not ready to do this. We falsely believe we need clear-cut opinions. So we flip between a clear yes and clear no.
But we cannot discover anything new this way. We need an attitude more like:
“What’s possible? What could be?
“Let me take an honest look and consider the possibilities.
“I will go whatever direction I need to. And I won’t avoid the effort that is required.”
Sounds simple enough.
Yet people find it exceedingly difficult to take such an approach. What blocks our access to this life source is our inability to truly open to new lines of questioning. One that will open us to new truth—revolutionary or not. To something that seems to contradict what we have previously known.
It’s not that we’ve “just never thought of it before.” We are denying a fact right in front us. We simply won’t see it with fresh eyes.
And this is an obstacle.
Otherwise, we would remain open with curiosity whenever a new possibility appeared. Which is literally happening all the time.
Instead, we are unwilling to be flexible and consider other options. We cling to opinions that, half the time, aren’t even ours. We are often just borrowing them because they sound good.
What is this really about?
Our fear of looking at ourselves.
