Lead a Horse to Water

Written By Mathew Naismith

We have a saying in the west, “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.”

What this means as the image above states,” You can lead a human to knowledge but you can't make him think.” This is in line with awareness, where, “ You can speak of awareness as much as you like, but it takes awareness to be able to comprehend awareness itself to accept this awareness as being of awareness in the first place.”

My wife and I are in awe, so many horses refuse to go to the water to begin with, and even if some make it to the water, be the water of knowledge or awareness, many still refuse to drink from this water.

So why the hesitancy to drink from this water?

How many religious people put religion and even their church before God? How many scientists put their careers and/or their employers profits before science? How many people put their own personal security before a nations security? How many people put political ideologies before all else, even family that can include a nation and even the human race as a whole?

At present, medical apartheid comes before other people's security and well being, even to the extent of outright abuse of the people on the receiving end of numerous kinds of embraced apartheid systems. So why the hesitancy to drink from this water? The answer is simple, security. An embraced apartheid system gives certain people a sense of security. What occurs when you try to take a security blanket away from an infant? Because knowledge and awareness have a direct relation to the truth, in a time when the truth is heavily censored, knowledge and awareness is seen as a threat to security, like taking a security blanket away from an infant. This is also at a time when so many people embraced a medical apartheid system, even to the point of outright abuse, as apartheid systems often lead to.

In spirituality today, how often is love put before awareness, when it is awareness that creates a true sense of love in spirituality? Try being of a true sense of love without first being in a state of awareness. So being aware of what for example? Putting God consciousness, be it that this God consciousness can be many things, even before a state of awareness. God consciousness to me relates to a conscious state of pure awareness and wisdom, be it that awareness in the absence of wisdom is not really a state of awareness therefore love.

Wisdom does not shun other forms of awareness, so to someone like me it is obvious who is of wisdom and who only speaks of awareness and love in the absence of wisdom. So many people censor what is not of their own awareness and love, a form of apartheid system put in motion!! In a real sense, people of wisdom are in the complete absence of the embarrassment of apartheid systems. Apartheid systems are not systems that are intentionally avoided, it is simply a state that cannot exist within a state of wisdom, I mean really.

So can you lead a horse to water, even to save it's life, a horse that has embraced some kind of apartheid system? Not when the horse sees the water as a threat to their apartheid system, a threat in taking away their security blanket.

So do you allow the horses to die of thirst, die due to the lack of knowledge and awareness, truth?

All I am going to say is that a certain number of horses can be saved, and if you wish to try to save these horses, so it must be. The water must be presented in a way so that the water does not seem like a threat to the horses security, knowing that each and every horse has it's own idea of what represents security and a threat to this security. What should come first, the good of the people of an apartheid system or the good of all of man kind, remembering many people have been coerced to think the embracement of an apartheid system is for the good of all, of course wisdom tells us something quite different?
