Your Treasure and your refuse

During the process of Enlightenment we accumulate precious knowledge that will serve our whole existence.

It is a fact that this "baggage" will be available and can be accessed so that we get closer and closer to the Truth.

Nor can we deny that in the process we produce a lot of garbage. Rubbish is accumulated by the corners of our passage through the Earthly sphere.

These mountains of garbage must be cleansed so that we can then attain Enlightenment. Without this process of "cleaning" it is difficult to see the phases that follow to the last step.

In fact it is impossible to climb stairs full of dirt and mess, even if we leave the dirt behind, a dirty ladder does not allow us to return to look for certain "things" or people we left during the climbing process.

The ideal is to do the cleaning while we are still on that step. A significant analogy would be like renting a house and deciding to clean it just a day before moving to some other greater one. Sometimes the accumulation of needless trinkets, however, full of sentimentality, makes us waste a lot of time in order to move to a better place. And what is even worse, it may gather within us the sentimental uselessness we have acquired in the previous stage.

It is worth mentioning that a path free from hindrances gives the enlightened person mobility so that him/her can continue to seek the Truth, since the Truth can also be found distributed, in pieces, along the Journey.

Sometimes these pieces can even get mixed up in the rubbish. In order not to get lost in the search of parts of your Enlightenment, you must know how to differentiate what is necessary (the fruit of Truth) or garbage (the fruit of illusion). Bringing to a more practical side, let us suppose that you, being in the process of Enlightenment, with a great need for reading, cease to be selective with constructive reading (constituent of Truth) and deconstructive reading (constituent of illusion). As enjoyable as it may be, deconstructive reading will affect your perception of the facts.

The confusion is common to the enlightened person after all, there are so many theories, so many that claim they have found the truth, but it is a fact that what comes from the Truth will leave no doubt about the Nature of the higher power.

To the enlightened one it is enough to follow what the Spirit advises to him, for what comes from the Spirit of God, comes from God Himself. When we lose ourselves we do it so by losing our way observing vain theories, based on pieces of the Truth that have been forgotten in the trash of someone else's Journey who has walked through those steps, therefore resulting in sinking more and more into the illusion.
