Spirit of Light
Be who ever you want
When it comes to religious or spiritual teachings there are just as many opinions and views as there are people.
But the teaching was meant to be taught the way it was presented by the founder. So how come people later wanna change those teachings?
I can understand people are in disagreement with religious/spiritual people, because very few people have realized the deep meaning of spiritual teachings. So many variations will arise depending on who you speak with. So it is a mystery to me that what people want is to change the teaching, but not them self.
To many spiritual practitioners the teaching is untouchable, but what you can do is to speak with practitioners from your own path, this can lead to, ou or them will gain new understanding of the teaching and thereby your understanding will change (wisdom arise)
But only one who have deep understanding of the teaching will be able to guide other practitioners who have less understanding of the teaching, from the same religion or spiritual path. ( that is my understanding)
It is also here I my self have failed a lot. I thought I understood teachings from other spiritual teachings, but realized that those teachings are different to my understanding, and my understanding can not be used to guide people from other religions or spiritual paths.(not that I try to guide others anymore)
So maybe a reason why discussions often go south is because we do not see the truth the same way as the people we discuss with. And our arguments fall apart because we can not see our own fault if we meet someone with more understanding of the teachings.
