It Takes Honesty To Reason
By Ayinde

Identifying with one's self does not negate Race, Color and Gender. It is only an illusion that makes some feel they can identify with their own essence while overlooking race and gender issues. This type of illusion leaves room for many levels of deception.
In the end all seek a higher form of truth to be able to bond with their selves (lower to higher) while being comfortable here on earth. But what good are some truths if they are used to deny the very body that accomplishes this task.
The message is important, but in this great journey, the messenger is equally important and sensible ones take the time to know the two. Only a fool believes that Race and Gender does not matter. When greater truths are revealed, it is still Race and Gender, which are both of matter, that matters the most to them.
Natural Earthly Truths are good but are weak in comparison to Universal truths that require a greater discerning ability and increasingly higher levels of integrity.

It takes honesty to reason.
Too much people lack integrity and it is dishonesty that keeps them from being able to reason out issues.
People don't even need academic education to reason well all they need is honesty. This general lack of integrity is the hindrance to learning about and from oneself and reasoning to resolve disputes.

Irie Ites!
Give thanks... honesty for true.
And first and foremost honesty with oneself!
"people don't even need an academic education to reason well... all they need is honesty"
Yes I. Ones must overstand that the Rastafari of the hills there a Jamaica... most no have NO academic education at all! Can't even read or write them own name! James a the perfect example of this.
But you think it reduce His ability to learn and to know and to reason well and clear! Obviously not a single bit!
All a we that have some academic education appreciate it...
but that no mean that IanI should ever look down upon those that do not have it. Or feel that them have no teachment for IanI.
Is ones Heart that determines His character...
"too much people lack integrity..."
Again... a very true statement. And I see it as a lack of that same honesty to them own selves. If one no honest with them own self, how can them ever be honest to another?
If them no never study them own heart... how them ever think them can reason heart-to-heart?
If them no take the time in them life to face up to them own prejudices, biases, partialities, attitude, disposition, tempers and emotions... how can them ever possibly expect to deal honourably with others? Cause them no even dealing honourably with them selves!
Alot a truth in there, Ras...
integrity and honesty.
two a the best qualities One can achieve.
The dignity of reasoning a SHINE!!
Give thanks.

Some of us reasoned these issues many years ago and it used to baffle me how people do not see that it is their own lack of integrity that traps them over and over.
They really do not see that although some truths may hurt in the short-term, engaging legitimate sufferings that come from confronting newly realized truths is what frees them. It takes a more mature/aware person to see this and that should tell us something about the type of people who are leaders, teachers and exemplars in the system.
People should realize that their true age is really measured by their experiences, development and awareness, and not simply by how 'old' their body is. Some people are like five years old for sixty years.
These things are really only simple to those who know it/live it.

Is it possible to pusue both the way of internal self realisation/discovery while at the same time remaining in the 'world'?

YES!
In MY view it is good to pursue one's development from within these corrupt societies. Most people will not be able to break free to recapture Natural Livity in the wild. However, in the pursuit of internal self-realization they will need assistance from people who are self-actualized and others who understand Natural Livity if they are to succeed.
There is a Higher order of Natural Livity, when the inner self bonds with the inner higher self.
In this process of engaging all of oneself, earthly perceptions can be shattered to yet reveal even greater truths and deceptions.
As I said, one does not need to return to the wild to experience Natural Livity. People can make this journey from wherever they are. People do not need to meet face to face to engage this process. In this process eyes are opened wider so people can look before they leap.
These points have been well proven. The Internet can be used to facilitate higher spiritual development and such exercises do not require blind faith or blind trust. Trust is realized on various levels as people act on what they simultaneously think and feel.
Trust is sacred.
