Growth & Resistance to Change
It is assumed that human nature evolves spiritually and that we are automatically spiritual by nature: it is said that the world is in a new cycle of conscious spiritual development, in truth, it’s a false belief. The reality of man is that he is by nature self serving and he will do whatever means at his disposal for his own personal advantage, good or bad: this is a law of self preservation. To do good or bad is in the eye of the beholder, what may be good for one may be bad for another or what is bad for one may be good for another. Our nature imagines and perceives the truth or reality from a conditioned nature: meaning, that our beliefs, attitudes, and desires are controlled and directed by how we were influence in our early environmental upbringing.
Unfortunately, the truth is that we have unconsciously imitated our parents, guardians, siblings, people we admire and want to be like; therefore, we never really know who we are. In the process of self-discovery it’s possible to find our real self, our true intelligence. This intelligence is manifested by a real self study and work. In self study which is done in a work group environment, (with a teacher who knows the way) one can then discover ones intelligence through the process of solving inner problems, and overcoming and understanding negative emotions.
Most people confuse memory with intelligence, or our daily life intelligence with the active mind intelligence. Being intellectual, smart, having a high IQ is not the intuitive intelligence that embraces the inner-self. Mankind is only interested in the ego and materialism which is the downfall of humanity and the true cause of depression and unhappiness: he is trapped by old negative emotional patterns, beliefs, and attitudes. Spinoza, Gurdjieff and other spiritually conscious individuals tried to awaken mankind from his sleep state: In awakening the mind man would be able to live by his intelligence and experience peace, love, blessedness, happiness, and freedom.
