Spiritual Place and Truth

The concept of a spiritual place refers to a space imbued with certain unique and transcendental qualities that align with the essence of creation itself. These qualities are not mere abstract notions; they represent the selfless, unconditional love, and bestowing nature of the Creator. These are the fundamental qualities capable of giving rise to life and sustaining it. A spiritual place, therefore, is not defined by its physical attributes, but by its embodiment of these divine qualities.

To truly experience a spiritual place, we must harmonize our own qualities with those of the Creator. We must strive to embody the same attributes — unselfishness, love, and generosity — that define the divine force. The journey towards such a place involves achieving a special balance, a homeostasis, with the Creator’s force field. This requires us to clothe ourselves in “godly” qualities, allowing us to synchronize with the Creator’s nature and begin to sense the truth of existence itself.

The truth, in this context, is not an abstract or relative concept, but the Creator Himself. The force field that characterizes the Creator’s qualities forms the very essence of truth. In order to reveal and perceive this truth, we must seek to become similar to the Creator, allowing His qualities to flow through us and guide our actions. It is only through this transformation that we can come to perceive reality as it truly is.

However, as long as we are unable to sense the truth, we live in a false reality. This reality is a distorted version of existence, one that we mistakenly accept as truth. In this false reality, we exist in a state disconnected from the benevolent source of life. This disconnection is rooted in the inherent egocentric, self-serving, and exploitative nature that governs our behavior and perception of reality. In such a state, we live for ourselves, drawing everything toward us, consuming and destroying as if we were parasites.

To begin the journey towards the truth, the first step is to recognize the falsity of our current existence. This recognition is often bitter and uncomfortable, but it is essential for progress. Once we acknowledge the lifeless and false nature of our current reality, we can begin the process of turning towards true life, which exists above and beyond our original, distorted perception of reality.

Living from an inherently egotistical and selfish mindset places us in a constant cycle of self-justification, exploitation, and destruction. We draw everything to ourselves while failing to recognize the inherent harm this causes to ourselves and others. To break free from this cycle, we must first come to despise our egotistical existence, rejecting it as inherently harmful and self-destructive. This rejection is not simply a mental acknowledgment but an emotional and visceral realization that even forsaking our lives is preferable to continuing to exist in such a toxic and destructive state.

This process of liberation requires a specific method, one that allows us to use the ego itself to catalyze change. The ego, while inherently self-serving, can be tricked or redirected to support the goal of transcending its own limitations. This method involves entering a closed, methodically structured environment where individuals commit to working together toward a common goal. The group, through mutual support and dedication, helps each person break free from their egotistical self, striving to live for the sake of others and to embody selflessness and altruism.

In such a group, individuals begin to see the extent to which their lives are governed by their egos. Every thought, action, and decision is influenced by a deep-rooted desire for personal gain and satisfaction. As the group intensifies its focus on teaching selfless love and bestowal, individuals gradually become more aware of their inability to act outside of their ego-driven impulses. This realization is sharp and bitter, a painful truth that exposes the false and destructive nature of their previous existence. It is at this point that the need for transformation becomes undeniable.

This recognition of the “evil” within oneself is not a passing realization but a profound shift in awareness. The individual begins to see their egotistical tendencies as deeply harmful and intolerable, like a burning fire that must be escaped at all costs. This heightened sensitivity to selfish desires ignites new forces within, forces that were previously dormant, and begins the process of inner transformation.

As the individual progresses on this path, they start to experience a shift in their abilities. In contrast to their former inability to connect with others, they begin to feel new, almost “supernatural” capabilities. These abilities allow them to transcend their selfish nature and start acting in a way that is fully aligned with the needs and desires of others. They no longer exist merely for their own sake but become capable of living and acting for the benefit of others.

This transformation grants them a tangible, objective experience of the Creator’s force. It is through this selfless and loving interaction with others that they begin to perceive the Creator’s qualities as they flow through them. They experience a new sense of harmony, of being in the right place, and of being in balance with the divine force. In this state, they are no longer living according to their own limited, egotistical desires, but are united with the single, benevolent source of life.

In conclusion, the path to the truth involves a profound transformation of the self. It requires the individual to recognize and reject the false reality governed by the ego, to confront the destructive nature of selfishness, and to actively work towards a selfless, altruistic existence. Through this process, the individual can come to feel the presence of the Creator, experiencing the truth not as an abstract concept but as a living, tangible force that flows through them. By harmonizing with the divine qualities of love and bestowal, the individual finds themselves in a spiritual place, at peace and in balance with the Creator’s truth.
