We have learnt and it makes so much sense, that all religions and Spiritual Paths originated from the same Source. The Spiritual Hierarchy of Light Beings that dwell in Higher Realms and care for the inhabitants of our planet Earth sent down Energy allowing ordinary limited human beings to go beyond limits and realizing the Essence of Creation.
This precious knowledge, downloaded from this States of Consciousness, was transmitted, written down and gave way to religious groups, Spiritual movements and great civilizations. The Source is always the same, and the Truth is one. It is however, not uncommon to see Spirituality being used as a means to perpetrate power and manipulate people. Some cases are worst than others, but we have observed this fact throughout history.
More recently, many of us have experienced being in meditation groups or Spiritual movements lead by a Master where we were able to grow Spiritually and received true Spiritual teachings and even Initiations but we eventually observed some form of manipulation. Perhaps making it seem very difficult or veiling the access to the vast Planes of Consciousness attainable in Meditation. Most times, underlying this manipulation there is the fear of a human being (maybe Enlightened) losing their disciples and thus losing power and influence. Sometimes they might be underestimating the potential of their followers or they might even fear that the extremely powerful Energy would get misused. Whatever the case: either we got disappointed from a traditional religion or a recent Spiritual movement; this should not be a great surprise.
Let’s not forget we are on a physical plane where we learn from experiences. Eventually, everything leads us to the Source of Everything. On Enlightenment we realize being the Creator of everything. Whether we are aware of this fact or not, we are the creators of the experiences that give birth to thoughts that give birth to emotions such as disappointment… or we create the thoughts that give birth to experiences that program us with certain emotions… WE CREATE OUR OWN REALITY and EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
It is ok to have whatever feeling or emotions; don’t be hard on yourself if you got manipulated and felt disappointed. Don’t harbor resentment against anybody. Rather be grateful, embrace the experience, your emotions and thoughts, acknowledging you created your own reality (aware of it or not), and this experience is also part of your Spiritual Journey. The sooner you do, the earlier you will move on to the amazing realizations that await in your Spiritual Journey back to the Universal Love, State of Being.
