Imagine for a moment if Buddha was born a prince and died a king and stayed within his own kingdom, his own positive reality separate from the outside negative reality, never to become Buddha. Imagine if one of the greatest wise teachers of human history, Confucius, did the same, imagine if Jesus did this as well, etc!! What if I told you numerous people in the spiritual community today are doing just this, however, the fire storm in Maui has awakened a number of people to this within their own spiritual community it would seem.
I have been spiritually aware, to one extent or another, since I was 13 years old due to various experiences, I am nearly 60 years old. Within this time period, mostly in the recent time period, I have noticed how a very dark shadow has infiltrated a lot of spiritual communities, of course it is said to be negative to point this out. Not sure when awareness, especially self-awareness and honesty, become a negative energy form!!
It would seem that critically judging everything into positives and negative, and ostracising or ignoring everything critically judged as negative, is of positive energies!!
This is how a truly positive person thinks. Everything does not fit within a positive and negative energy category, often something that is traumatising can lead to something very positive. So you don't have any more children due to a pregnancy and birth was uncomfortable, in other words negative!! To a truly positive person not every trauma and pain experienced is put into the negative category. You put your hand in the fire and it hurts, the so-called negative actually turned out to be a positive, giving you an awareness of how fire can hurt you. Experiencing physical pain actually stops us from hurting ourselves even more, imagine not pulling your hand out of the fire!!
Is mental pain and discomfort the same? I think you will find that it is.
Believe it or not, the mention of Maui, which was never critically judged a negative or positive energy before, is not allowed to be mentioned in certain spiritual communities due to having a strong negative energy vibration!!
I have been in this spiritual awareness game for a number of years, and know of how this darkness has infiltrated past spiritual communities/churches at one time or another in human history, if what is occurring at present is not the exact same thing, I will eat my hat.
