I woke up from a dream tonite. I remember trying to get beyond certain mathematical challenges but was unable to. I asked the instructor to help but he had already helped and then suggested a way to pass the course without understanding. However when I was contemplating the issue I thought to myself that I could ask the help of a friend who was knowledgeable on the subject. I believe that different people have a different zeitgeist of the period and the time they live in which is structured and created in previous life’s. We bring such ideas with us because of previous encounters with material consciousness. It is very difficult to understand another person’s experiences from forgotten times and what has led them to have a similar position in this life. However being conscious beings we are attempting to grok the truths that other individuals feel. The heart 💜 has much more to open to when understanding the views of others. But we all can be empathetic to some degree. A Master can understand all the intricacies of human beings. It is a colossal feat yet still within the scope and expansion of consciousness we seek in enlightenment.

I think you could say that a guru acts as a tutor on our spiritual journey and helps us work through various obstacles that keep us entrenched in obstinate mindsets. The guru exposes us to people and situations that are needed for us to unfold our conscious in understanding. If we do see others in the view of enemy verses allies we may still have much to understand about human beings. I think this is also a problem in religion. It has been known in the past to divide people into different camps so it actually can create enemies. This is a similar obstacle encountered in politics. I believe to some extent our culture is responsible for the wars we have been involved in due to our own zeitgeist as a culture.

It is important to recognize that material consciousness shapes our world views. That materialized view also shapes our views of others. Truth can be facing us yet we cannot embrace it unless we are receptive to it…..
