It's okay to be gullible.
 

That's the point of incarnating in a body. The distraction of flesh seperates our awareness from spirit so that we can have a pure ignorant start in life, and our journey goes from there.

Life is not a Test.
There is no Pass or Fail.

There is only Experience.
Experience is the ends and the means.

We don't have to get it right 'or else'.

A spiritual experience is great, but a physical experience is also.

Some tend to look down on those caught up in the 'traps' of this modern age of TV's, Playstation, fashion, sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, sport, celebrity gossip - but maybe those ignorant 'sheeple' are actually fulfilling the purpose of life more fully than one who rejects such frivolities?

They're here doing what they incarnated for.

Why shouldn't those things (TV, fashion, etc) be enjoyed for what they are? They haven't existed in any other era, maybe we shouldn't miss our opportunity to experience them, while they last?


I see people giving all kinds of warnings about having to be enlightened, and raise our vibration, be ready for Maitreya, watch out for demons, beware this, get right now, etc.

Don't worry about it.
:lmao:
It's all experience.

So we don't 'get it' in this life?
Is everything decided by just one life?

It's our true self, our higher spirit, that is collecting all these experiences, from multiple lives, and that is the part of us doing all the learning, not this meat bag we're inhabiting - and that higher part of us is eternally secure.

Maybe somebody has already done the enlightened, spiritually wise thing in a prior life? Maybe they're here this time to experience the darker side? or any number of experiences in between - to fill in the gaps our higher self is looking to explore, in order to learn from.

Once our higher self has experienced, and learned, all it needs to 'ascend' (both light and dark) then it will move on to higher realms - by Default.
We don't need to force anything from our side,
and especially don't need to stress out about our eternal fate.

Even if the climate goes bust.
Even if we run out of oil and the dollar crashes.
Even if the "bad guys" 'win'.
Even if not enough of humanity has achieved 'oneness' before the galactic superwave hits.
Even if we're not personally "51% Good" by '2012'.
Even if alien motherships appear over every capital city then land on the whitehouse lawn promising to give us world peace and high technology, welcoming us into the Galactic Federation of Light! (...but oh no, it's really all a Bluebeam lie and the aliens are programmable life forms created in a gov't lab for the Illuminati 'strong delusion' - to fool even the 'elect', if that were possible...)
It's all just another Experience.

Experience is the only goal of each incarnation.
It's all right.

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Nice :smoke: very nice, hmmm... beautiful... transcending!... ugly... holistic.. the great sh*tshow!

thank you, 100thmonkey

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Exactly you need to just enjoy your life because even though this might not be

your last life it would be a waste of an entire lifetime to always be worrying or

griped in fear its taken me years to realize to just live and enjoy life regardless

of all the bs going around honestlly idc if 2012 is the end of the world if people

wanna manipulate other people go ahead because some people choose to be

manipulated and thats there descision and if people wanna live there life in a

false reality hey it's there choice people have had amazing life's not knowing the

truth and some people are happier that way It basically comes down to this

you choose your own reality and whether it's good or bad its still your reality

and you can make the worst or best out of it because its up to you

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Indeed, a great post.

100thmonkey, you couldn't have put it any better! :thumb_yello: That's a superb thumbnail sketch of what we're here for. :original: (I wish I'd thought of it.) :sad:

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I'd much prefer to be labelled gullible and explore life then to walk with my head down believing everything MSM tells me. Wouldn't that be boring.

My wife might like it because I wouldn't be on the computer as much!!!:mfr_lol:

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Freedom, freedom of spirit. Freedom to explore anything and everything we wish to. This is soo important to me!

The church would always stop enquiring minds asking questions by saying "Its of the devil!!' We have the same thing here, except its "Disinformation!!

The whole world opens up when we stop categorising everything into good or bad. The magic is beyond good or bad.

Love and Light

Experienced is everything...Your 'you' will tell you what resonates and what does'nt...Just gotta pay attention. It's all a game...play it with strategy.

Good thread:original:

I have a ski lodge in Texas. Who would like to buy it?

I'll sell it for $500.

You can move in right away.

It makes $230,000 every winter.

Best deal on the Internet!

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

You are so lucky to have a ski lodge in Texas! Who did you buy it off?:naughty:

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Yeah, well, there's a difference between being gullible and being dumb. :naughty:

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

WS, although the thread title became a play on your own, this topic is something I've been wanting to post for a while and is intended for the entire forum, not just as a response to you.
It was your thread that inspired me to finally get it together though, and also gave me a title better than the ones I had been thinking of... so, thanks.

Just to clarify,
I'm not promoting gullibility, in fact I actively resist gullibility in myself as much as possible - but I am saying that it's okay - because I don't believe there's anything to fear in an afterlife if we don't get things right here and now.

The link in my sig may give a better understanding of where I'm coming from.

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

observe as much as you can, learn as much as you can, both the good and the bad, the relevent and the irrelevent, the bright and the dark. From what you have learnt always be aware but never belive.

Your only belief is the fact of infinite possibilies which is more then anyone could possibly every ask for.


So take the weight off your sholders, know thats its enough to just be aware.

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I think you can sum up life in one sentence: Don't take it too seriously!!!!

HOWEVER: Life is a test. If you no longer want to suffer and keep coming back again and again to work out karma, don't get distracted by the "show". Yes its all experience but after the millionth time it gets a bit boring don't you think?

IMO: Keep your eye on the goal: reunite with infinite consciousness and help your brothers and sisters along the way.

Love,

Kriya

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I have to humbly disagree with this whole statement.

I would have thought that the purpose of life was indeed to die to self? To ascend to something higher than just the physicality of the illusion we understand to be our lives at this moment in time, this fleshly paradise of wanton lust which is in fact a disease of the "mind" in the physicality of this being-ness.

Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps I need to know who paris hilton is fornicating with and perhaps I need to revel in the knowledge of carnal desire and craving, perhaps striving for spirituality and a oneness of this existence is indeed folly and I need to die to spirit and engage fully in this existence on an experiential level.

Perhaps I got it all wrong, and I have to sadly admit that there are a few who have answered in this thread who seemingly advocate the view posited that really surprise me.

It just goes to show, one can never take anything for granted. As for me, I will continue to strive for the goal as I see it and I have to say that for me, this does not include the blind "enjoyment" of those things such as were mentioned in the primary post which to me appear to be a part of the disease rather than part of a learning curve, a life's essence, so to speak.

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Hi Zeddo,

I don't believe you have it all wrong I think what you're saying is correct, but equally the essence of what 100th monkey wrote is also correct.

Ultimately none of it really matters......I also believe that we are all on the spiritual path some are running others are walking and some are even going backwards but in the end we all will get there, some faster than others thats all.

For me life is about finding joy, consciousness at its root is an expression of joy and love i believe. I think Jesus summed it up best "be in the world but not of it".....don't get caught up in the play and practice non-attachment.

This genious came to my mind when I read your post :

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Zeddo I wouldn't say you're wrong, I'd just say there's no need to be afraid of failing to 'die to self', before you die physically.
Not that you are, but some seem to be worried about it, with a sense of urgency that is almost paranoia.

I don't think it's necessary to complete a full awakening in one lifetime, since that's the goal of the higher self, not necessarily the physical self.

That sense of desire to learn comes from our higher self, and feeding it is by no means wrong. I would never criticise a search for truth, or knowledge in any way. I just think it's not something to be stressed over.

Achieving awareness is a default result of experience.
Even if we purposely tried to not learn we'd still learn something out of that, or at least our higher self would.
One life time might be incredibly unproductive, but our higher self would learn from that and may then incarnate in another life with a set of circumstances likely to bring us some harsh lessons rapidly.
Some of those 3rd world children who starve in short, brutal, diseased lives are an example. Such lives seem meaningless and pointless, especially if one believes in a god behind it all, but really there is something learned, and the experience is not a total waste.

A sense of duty or purpose might be genetically bred, or socially bred, and we can enter into lives like that for the purpose of learning what they have to share, then next life we may need a break from such harshness and Paris Hilton watching might be a nice relief (personally I'm not interested, but it'd be very taxing to try to 'counter the culture' on such a subject.)

Thanks for that futureyes.
I confess I still have more to learn in regard to that quoted above, or at least put into practice, but I'm getting there... :wink2:

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Nice cozy discussion in here...

I agree with most posts, there are many different ways to look at Life! Hard to say one is right another is wrong, when all have our own unique Divine Plan for this life.

At some level, souls are just here for experience, at some we have very specific missions to help raise up the whole.

I certainly agree that we should not take ourselves to seriously, whatever our purpose, this is the Divine comedy after all, and one of the things that will make life bearable and fun here is when we are willing to laugh at ourselves!

Have a good laugh!!!!

:lol3:

What happens on earth, really is like a ride, an amusement ride, or a film, in the Schoolroom of infinity. Experiences we can take with us on our soul journey's throughout creation, yet more than just an experience, a challenge and opportunity to grow and BEcome MORE.

To me, the ultimate goal in Life here is to Be below, all we are above.

Meaning, each of us does indeed have a higher Self, an I AM Self, which we are an extension of. The ultimate goal is to realize this truly through Self realization, human know thySelf, and Be that I AM here in embodiment by moving beyond the ego, beyond the thinker, into the state of BEing here in the Now.

I suggest we are all unique expressions of the infinite. We are here to shine our unique divine Light by Being an open door for our own heart Flame, our own God Flame.

This is fun! This is Life! This is what it's all about.

And right now, there is plenty of darkness to shine our Light on, not much better time to choose to Be ~ !

As for forgiveness and making mistakes, we must have the strength to forgive ourselves, or we will never forgive others. We're not here to be perfect, we're here to remember who we really are regardless of our past decisions. We are Sons and Daughters of the infinite having a material experience. I say, remember who you are beyond the thinker and Be Below all you are above ~ Just Be.

now hears a thread I can read...

not as much ego one this one :}

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

so much wisdom being shared here...reminded me of a poem i wrote a little while back:


peace,
mikey

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Alchemikey, that's excellent.
Poetry isn't usually my thing, but you've summed up so much in such little sentences. :shocked:
As Darth Vader would say, "Most impressive." :darthvader:

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I understand where this thread comes from, and while I disagree, I also understand that essentially, everything said here is 100% true.

We are a total sum of ALL the parts and all of the parts serve a different function. I guess that is what makes things so colourful!

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I personally do not wish to return to this planet after this time. I believe in my heart that there is much more excitement and adventure beyond these five senses. I'm ready for a knowingness that does not involve currency. I see corruption everywhere born of the fear of not having enough.

Anyone want my stuff and my (Future) earth experiences? You can have them. I'll 'freak out' over how to make this my last time through. I crave the adventures that lie off planet.

Just another spirit offering his 2 cents. (Again with the currency. Sheesh!)

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I know some of you are going to call me crazy but honestly id love to come

back to Earth. This planets like the wild west untamed and full of adventure.

Yes there is much knowledge and adventure beyond earth and if you are

ready and its your time, then you can explore other places. I believe present

earth has allot to offer and its up to you get as much out of her

as possible. For some this might be your last time here, for others there is

more to be learned, just remember we all chose to come here and we can all

chose to move on but to move on you must grow and only you will know when

your ready. Me personally i am comfortable being here, but if i have learned all

i can, them i am ready to go, just don't give up on earth and enjoy your time

here its an adventure.

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

Im with you joe. I want to be here or come back and help with the healing of the earth. I want to replant the forests. Help clean up the mess we have made and restore the earths pristine beauty again.

My vision is one of a beautiful earth garden full of abundant forests and animals and humans. Everything glowing with health and happiness.

Love and Light

Carmen

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I definitely agree with that and in no way wish to leave anyone hanging by leaving, but when my experience is done, I am eager to explore.

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

We're all here to earn our freedom, consider though we have to fix our little 'problems' and planet here first by working on ourselves and coming up higher ~ jumping on a spaceship to escape may be a ticket to staying at the current level of consciousness in a prison we will want to escape from elsewhere ~ we're here to shift our consciousness higher, both individually and collectively so that we can obtain True Freedom to Be ;)

I suggest that while the collective agreement in our world may be tad boring right now ~~~~ all of that is about to change ~~~~ Be the Change :)

Re: It's okay to be gullible.
 

I agree.
I'd love to fly through the universe in some kind of astral form, gliding over all those alien planets and stars, diving through nebulas, swimming with the space dolphins, or whatever - but it's not up to physical me, it's up to spiritual me.

There's a lot of freedom to be explored in the between life phase, freedom we don't have in the physical.
Maybe before I incarnate in the next life (assuming there's most likely still one to come) I may well take a journey out and about the universe.
If that's what I'm ready for that's what I'll do - but it won't be the same me as is here now that figures that, it will be my higher self, my true self, pretty much without this physical me being involved.

Maybe I'll incarnate here again afterwards, if there's still more to be experienced, or maybe it will be on an alien planet of similar physical experience?
Maybe human physicality will have evolved the psychic side of every living person by then so that everyone knows what everyone knows. Then we'll be in a whole different world aswell, where all lies and all control systems will be exposed through everyone knowing everything everyone else knows...
...and gullibility won't be an issue. :lmfao:
