The Gifts of Progression

Getting to know ones self has so many hidden benefits and in my experience (relating to the people that I know) is something that people rarely do. Don't get me wrong, we all know the things we like and don't like and the obvious traits that define us but getting down to the nitty gritty and doing a great deal of self analysis has been one of the best things I have done for myself - EVER! In my post "Why" I went into how our failure to ask why can leave problems in our lives unresolved. I did however fail to mention that initially - it can be difficult to figure out. It takes a shorter time for me than it used to because it's something I work on constantly but back in the day when I first started doing it, it could take days or even weeks for me to come up with the answers. Nowadays it's something that happens far quicker by comparison. One of the hidden gifts of self progression.

The thing is, the better we know ourselves and the more we progress the more of these gifts/abilities we receive. My cousin (who has helped a great deal with my own progression) has excellent abilities (All sounding a bit like Heroes I know). Her ability to analyse someone is awesome to say the least and this is because of her own self progression (she's been doing it far longer than I have). I have seen her analyse people I know who she has met for a mere moment almost perfectly and here is the trippy bit, I don't think this is an intellectual ability but more of a spiritual one (I know, sounds a great deal like "Hippy Stoner" stuff as some of my friends would say, but I'm convinced it's not). I think if we close ourselves off to such possibilities we negate the ability to acquire and put into practice these gifts (or maybe they're already there and just need honing - remember, these are all theories based on personal experience and I don't quite have everything figured out yet).

Ever heard the phrase "Don't get stressed out when you're around a baby"? That's because a new born baby has not yet had the social programming that we all get and is therefore forced to rely upon instincts that we all possess but never cultivate. For a baby that can not speak (and initially is unable to understand speech) - they only have their instincts to go on and their academic knowledge is quite literally non existent, so the ability to "read" someone, while possibly being partially intellectual, must be for the most part, spiritual/instinctual.

Now, while I don't believe in religion, I do believe in God. I think along the years we've some how misinterpreted what and/or who god is and added an ideology to it in the form of Religion. I also think that Jesus quite possibly did exist and that he was merely (I use that word very loosely) just like us but a representation of what we could become - Evolved far before his time. I know it sounds extremly far fetched - turning water into wine, walking on water, feeding 5,000 homies with a touch of bread and a few fish - but what if he was evolved enough to be able to manipulate energy? Have you ever thought of someone and next thing you know the phones goes and it's them? Ever got a text message and you just instinctively know who it is before you look at your phone? Could be coincidence or it could be a natural progression in the next stage of human evolution. Personally, for my closest friends - (Well I say closest...2 of my long time friends) - for some reason I just instinctively know when they're in trouble (my best friend especially). Something in me just has a feeling and I get that instinct to fire that message "Are you OK?". It's the strangest thing but it's been happening for years and I'm always on the money. This does not work with everyone I meet - but again, I think this is another gift of self exploration and progression.

For some this may sound ridiculous but the fact that it sounds ridiculous does not negate the possibility. Remember, the world was once flat, 100 years ago everything that was going to be invented had been invented and the moon was less than 100 miles away. I'm not attempting to say I know fore sure because I don't - these are all just theories on the basis of my own thoughts and experiences.

Mushrooms, Marijuana, Salvia, DMT - they're all drugs that take your conciousness to a different place - I think we currently need to use these as our evolution is not evolved enough (yet) to get us there on our own (atleast for most of us). With that said, there are still those who have the ability to transcend ego, who see things for what they are and appreciate the universe on a totally different level. No Paris Hilton, No Kat Stacks, No Katie Price, No Silly ass game show where people are selling their souls for an existence that will fill the giant void in their lives with attention - just peace, peace with themselves and a true connection to the world.

The more we concentrate on the investigation of the self - the further we will go into our evolution. Our growth is never ending and our potential unlimited. My parents did not think as I did when they were this age as their parents did not thing as they did when they were my age. Our spiritual progression as a human race is increasing with each generation and I have every faith and hope, that if I ever have kids - their evolution will surpass my own and with it, they will recieve more gifts. Eventually, more and more people will become spiritually (not the same as religiously) enlightened to a point where it will take hold in a "Critical Mass Effect" to the point where while not everyone will accept it, they will at the very least be aware of it's existence and possibility.

Once again - Peace and Love
