  How interesting! and I am nonplussed. I spent over a year going through the course.
  I did learn that there are no enemies, only "enemies".
  
  It has helped me, but I believe one would have to be prepared to live like an "idiot" in the world to put it into practice.
  
  So, "what is truth?" and how do we recognize it, if there is such a thing?
  
  Then I read the post below which seems to say "you have to work at it": ...never stop seeking wisdom from within yourself and from others...

  Competent protection is vitally important. Mistakes can turn out to be very costly.

  Thank you, Commander, for this lenient acknowledgment.
  
  The way I said, under impulse, what I did say, could easily be misunderstood. At least a question mark is missing from the end of that first statement.
  
  I do not dismiss spiritual teachings but am aware of the danger that instead of strengthening us for the task in hand it can divert us into the spiritual stratosphere.
  
  My concern remains:
  How do we distinguish between teachings intended to help us and ones designed to mislead "even the elect"? (I do not imply that Urantia Book is the latter kind, because I do not know). But I am reading another [...] Book saying things like "... do not refuse the things you do not understand or do not know... also do not waste your time trying to understand them...", "...From now on, the help which is to be given is to convey the Truth, not to dress or feed people ..."

    I agree, anything telling you to not explore what you don't understand is not coming from truth. The only way to ever come up with understanding of the unknown is to think about them and apply them to the knowledge you have through your own experience. Thinking is what makes us grow and expand, it is when you think that you are god, essentially you are talking to yourself, and you are the universe, god all things. You came from evolution of this mother earth and father universe. You are the fruit of the apple tree and thus the energy consciousness of the entire organism earth, you are the universe expressing itself. If you're mind is asking questions about anything seek the answers from within yourself and by taking the action in this reality to attain more wisdom. That is how we progress. That is guided by the compass of what resonates within, some call it intuition or emotion.
    
    So therein lies my reasoning to believe anything that tells you not to seek understanding is not of the truth. Knowledge of anything in this reality is getting to know yourself. "Know thyself". Just as your flesh & material is born of earth your mother, your spirit is born of the universe, your father. It is important you learn how both work, because they are who you are. You were born into perfection, it took trillions of years for you to be evolved into what you are, learn to be appreciated, learn to truly respect the power of all. Which is the power of you. Within you is held the entire evolution of the universe, all the laws of the universe apply to you, it is in your DNA, it is within your structure, it is within your functions. Be humbled by that. Realize just how important we are, yet how unimportant. See that is the duality, we see both sides of the coin, both the spiritual and the material. We can realize the odds of our life ever being, and see importance, yet be humbled by the vast size of the universe and appreciate all that we can not comprehend but yearn to. That is what makes mortal life the gift. This is the time when we as god create more by learning more about ourselves, just on a smaller scale, working through the collective consciousness of mankind through love. When love grows stronger. When people begin to believe in themselves which usually is spawned by a belief in god,oneness, the universe and nature, things begin to progress for the better.
    
    So never stop learning, never stop seeking wisdom from within yourself and from others who are sharing in this collective experience.

    I also get a little troubled when I see messages that seem to gently coax the reader away from collecting different points of view, or going deeper.

  It definitely has me in a very strong vibration now. Never forget your first spiritual experiences, they are a beautiful thing that will connect you to source every time you think about them.
  
  What was your first spiritual experience?

  I take ADD medicine. Will this interfere with my meditation/hypnosis state?

      Well im working on a program "astral projection" with Steve G. Jones, i seem to have the gift of entering sleep paralysis. My guess is its the same as astral travel. I have many adventures in my dreams, of which seem at random.
