“Spiritual people often want unconditional support and understanding from their friends, family, and mates, but all too often seem blind to their own shortcomings when it comes to the amount of unconditional support and understanding that they give to others.
“I have seen many spiritual people become obsessed with how unspiritual others are and assume an arrogant and superior attitude while completely missing the fact that they themselves are not nearly as spiritually enlightened as they would like to think that they are.
“Enlightenment can be measured by how compassionately and wisely you interact with others; with all others, not just those who support you in the way that you want. How you interact with those who do not support you shows how enlightened you really are.
“The perspective of Love doesn’t leave anybody out. Until your vision and compassion is big enough to include those who oppose you, you are simply contributing to the continuation of destructiveness. The end of separation is the salvation for all.” – Adyashanti

You can be spiritual all you want, and still be ass! Some just like the word, without the effort, the work behind the generator of the word, the word becomes the new habit, crutch to deal with the real issues of there life experiences, there’s the bump in the road, the price you pay for you spiritual journey like stickers on a well travelled suitcase, stamps on a passport, “been there done that” mentality. What are we doing to be spiritual and what is the price, your ignorant in ignorance’s of coarse natural to nature, being born without knowledge unadapt to wisdom, can’t have any of the good without paying that price, talk is talk, walk is walk, tire spinning mud flinging asswhole spiritual driver, who want other’s to push help them out the rut they just dug.
I see thousands of them all over the place, using the words of spiritual is not enough, has to pay the price of your “ignorant in ignorance’s” that has to evolve, birth it’s self, coming out from the cocoon from there own ignorance’s to see there ignorant cocoon stage than eat it, so they have enough to fly like the butterfly.
Some just want to be the pretty butterfly, go out and buy some else’s well travelled suit case sporting it as there’s “lets see the passport” “you don’t have one do you!” Many of them around too!
Ignorant in ignorance’s is where it is ALWAYS at. Were always the student never the master, your never infinite upon this physical plane of it’s reality, saying you are is your bliss, your ignorance’s from being ignorant. The center of every one is “ignorant in ignorance’s” It never leaves it’s your center, the core of human and alien- let’s not forget our galactic friends:) and that is being in a state of ignorant in ignorance’s
You can only maintain it, keep it clean, organized so your aware of it, constantly daily hourly by minute by second, that is the word, the walk, the talk. That is the difference of a difference of knowing.
