The ancient scriptures and expanded consciousness

[Guest guest]

Two things-- there are some excellent published commentaries on the scriptures,

if

one needs them.

 

Also...one can achieve enlightenment through meditation, alone, even without

scriptures. It is often said that when one prays, one talks to God. When one

meditates, one listens to God. All of the knowledge of Reality is within--our

natural

birthright as children of the Gods. Please don't forget the amazing revelations

that

come to one after a "kundalini rush."

 

That being said.. I think that if one wants a personal relationship with a

particular

God or Gods, one DOES need to know the mythologies.

 

There are many paths to God. In some areas, a teacher may not be available. Some

people aren't suited to tuteledge from a guru. It's all in the individual

situation.

 

Thanks, Kari
