This morning's trigger for discernment is "Know Thyself":

"Awakening is possible only for those who seek it and want it, for those who are ready to struggle with themselves and work on themselves for a very long time and very persistently in order to attain it." -- G.I. Gurdjieff

"What's next is the manipulation of spiritual values and tendencies. It is no accident that in the last few years we have seen a new religious thought. The religion of acquiescence and passivity: trusting in the process; whatever happens is what needs to happen; everyone is right where they need to be; you don't resist; you acquiesce; to resist is to be negative, is to be fearful, is to be unconscious. A great prescription for convincing the natives to give over the keys to the kingdom, a very good, clever from of manipulation." -- M.V. Summers

"Man must have results, real results, in his inner and outer life. i do not mean the results which modern people strive after in their attempts at self-development. These are not results, but only rearrangements of psychic material, a process the Buddhists call 'samsara' and which our Holy Bible calls 'dust'." -- Jacob Needleman

"The goal of any esoteric work must be that of objectivity, first in our understanding of ourselves, and then, as our filters and programs are dislodged, of the world. A true esoteric teaching will, therefore, not only focus on 'Know Thyself', but will also provide knowledge about the reality of our reality. If one or the other of these aspects are missing from a teaching, then you can be certain that it is incomplete, and an incomplete teaching, even if through ignorance of the teacher, even if unconscious, is dangerous." -- Henry See, from Spiritual Predator: Prem Rawat AKA Maharaji

"Many become popular because they speak and write with a reductionist style that brings the complex and disturbing down into canned formulas of what spiritual growth is supposedly all about. Dozens of such New Age authors could bring their works together into one large volume entitled, How To Become Aware of the Depths of Your Being Without Disturbing the Routine of Your Comfortable Lifestyle." -- Lew Paz, Pushing Ultimates: Fundamentals of Authentic Self-Knowledge

"...how are you arranging your conclusions so that your current experiences fit into your scheme of complacency?" -- Carlos Casteneda, in The Power of Silence


Continuing with the video:
"There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." -- Carl Gustav Jung

"Recent guidance has declared that the Full Moon we were just triggered by, was all about shadow work, bringing our hidden darkness to light." -- celeste:crystalfaery

The video continues... "The necessity to seek truth in oneself and the world and act upon it has to come from ones self. No one can do it for another, and no one can push another to do it. Until man himself realizes the precious times we live in, free will is not really free, as long as man acts from his conditioned personality. People who don't know themselves will continue to live in a self-inflicted prison... a prison without bars and walls."

The video continues... "...cherishing their leaders as saviours, like in a global 'Stockholm Syndrome', worshiping and defending the ones who keep them imprisoned. They become tools for the Matrix thinking that they are free; but they are merely reacting mechanically to external influences and accumulated conditioning. No change is going to happen by simply following the newest conspiracy videos, questionable 'New Age' teachings, and dubious channelled material, meditating on 'love and light', striving for 'sustainable solutions', or just protesting with some banners and slogans. Yes, some of it can trigger and plant seeds of awareness, but ultimately change happens only when we change and separate lies from truth, within and without. Only then will we be able to see the world as it is, without filters of denial, wishful thinking, false hopes, and misperceptions because of our corrupted state of being. In order to see the truth in the world we need to see the truth in ourselves and stop lying to ourselves. Only then will we be able to know what to do and act upon it."

"What will bring peace is inward transformation, which will lead to outward action. Inward transformation is not isolation, is not withdrawal from outward action. On the contrary, there can be right action only when there is right thinking and there is no right thinking when there is no self-knowledge. Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.
An ideal is merely an escape, an avoidance of what is, a contradiction of what is. An ideal prevents direct action upon what is.
To have peace, we will have to love; we will have to begin not to live an ideal life but to see things as they are and act upon them, transform them. As long as each one of us is seeking psychological security, the physiological security we need; food, clothing and shelter, is destroyed.
Some of you will nod your heads and say, 'I agree', and go outside and do exactly the same as you have been doing for the last ten or twenty years. Your agreement is merely verbal and has no significance, for the world's miseries and wars are not going to be stopped by your casual assent. They will be only stopped when you realize the danger, when you realize your responsibility, when you do not leave it to somebody else.
If you realize the suffering, if you see the urgency of immediate action and do not postpone, then you will transform yourself." -- Jiddu Krishnamurti

"We are calling for a truly awakened community to form on Kaua'i, a prototype for the island and for the globe. This will not be either a comfortable nor easy path, but the challenging path of true sovereignty of truly divine living beings embodied. Ascended Gaia is a conscious relating between living breathing embodied souls on our path to manifest the new reality." -- crystalfaeries
