Elucidation through Catharsis
This world is like a huge school. We are learning to live life, but at the same time; we are remembering who we are, what it is inside us, in other words; unfolding our unique capacity through life experiences. This is explained in some religions with the label of "numberwise."
In fact, in this huge school, we have different levels of students: We have the ones from pre-school, we have 1st graders, 4th graders, 5th graders, high school and college students; the interesting thing to realize is that there is no "graduation," no "6 figure job waiting for us at the end of the road;" this life of learning in itself and experiencing the experience is what makes life so precious and unparalleled. To appreciate life for just being in it, is the fuel that we need to learn to smile from the heart.
Different experiences and different expressions.
Therefore, the concept of "arriving," or "achieving," or "mastering," all of that… are just concepts learned in our educational system. We have been "brainwashed" with those concepts so there is a path for us to follow to become part of the "economical growth of our nation." Part of the statistics, the GDP per capital
In life, there is no such a thing as "a final destination." It is a continuous, a flow. There is an "intelligence" which assures a re-cycle of our experiences just as the cycle of water in Nature.
Therefore, when someone feels that their ideas, their dogma, their religion is the "best;" the only "one," the "truth," that person is obviously not seeing the different kind of students of life. When a person merely rejects other ideas without appreciation, to blindly defend his own perspectives, that person is repressing himself for there is no openness in his vision.
Without that openness, there could only be fanaticism left. A fanatic has never "arrived" to anything "spiritual." A "4th grader" cannot understand the things learned at College level. Nevertheless, life is the best teacher; and that person will either "open up" or "die," that is the choice for those who are unable to see other things beside the wall in front of them and the closed-door of that room which is their own made up "golden" jail.
Spirituality is one. It is our understanding which differs. According to those understandings, you have different teachers for the different grade levels of the students. Thus, there cannot be such a thing as the "best teaching," but rather everything goes around our understanding, which is not intellectual understanding by any means, but the understanding brought to us through insight; or through something known as "catharsis."
That understanding happens when the right environment is around us; that is when there is silence, tranquility, harmony and love in our beings.
