Some people are confused by this quote; they think it doesn’t make sense as they surely see what’s in front of them. But hardly ever that’s the case, in truth.
Many people think they’re aware of everything that’s happening around them. These people are aware the least. That’s similar to the people who think they don’t need any personal development, and it’s the very people that need it most, and not the ones always reading self-improvement books.
Most people are so full of beliefs and judgments of all sorts that what they see is just a reflection of their mental noise. Or you can say more accurately that what they see in front of them is a very poor interpretation of reality because it’s tinted with selfish thoughts, judgments, and beliefs.
Since our reality is multi-dimensional and there’s just so much information that our being is in touch with at every moment, our minds are selective as to which information to reveal to our consciousness. And if one’s mind is dark, full of impurities and judgments, the information it resonates with and is brought out is of a low kind.
So there is plenty of information in the ethers about how to achieve spiritual heights, how to succeed in anything, and how to become abundant, but if one’s energy is negative, there’s no way such a person could tune in to ‘read’ this information and benefit from it. And surely nothing that’s sacred will be revealed to negative and selfish minds – such information is available only to those who are pure in hearts.
In reality, though, nothing is hidden; all nature’s lessons and secrets are every day before us, but because we are so preoccupied with selfish thoughts, worries of all sorts, memories and hopes, that it keeps our cups of information full, and so we cannot perceive anything new.
I’m not telling this to others without it being applicable to myself. But since I’m trying hard to empty my cup and so some knowledge reaches me, this makes me only wonder just how much I don’t see because of my failure to quieten judgments, beliefs, and accumulated information.
Being a blank page allows information to be absorbed the fastest, without any distortions, yet of course it’s important in such a case to make sure the information is coming from a good source. And what can be a better source than the Creator itself? Being open to the impressions from the Divine, as well as paying attention to the workings of Its pure creations such as plants, can open our eyes to deep wisdom.
So for the yet-hidden-from-your-sight-things to be revealed, empty your cup of current knowledge. Selfish thoughts should be suspended. Understanding about who you are should be suspended, because if not, you’ll interpret everything from a particular stance, thus your interpretation would be subjective. Judgment should be suspended, along with all kinds of opinions.
This can be done when you allow yourself to be totally present and just observe what is, without getting engaged in any mental chatter. If you manage to maintain this state for some time, it’s very likely that things observed will start disclosing their real natures to you.
When that happens, you will be shocked to find out just how blind you were in the past, since all the deepest secrets of nature are not secrets at all – people are just too involved in their little worlds to see more subtle universal workings (truths) outside of them.
This kind of awareness is what’s called the spiritual sight. It’s the sight of the soul, and not of ego. It’s the sight that is the only true sight. The more you use it, the more you’ll understand the darkness and madness of the ego sight, and gradually you’ll dispose for good of the lens that distorts your view.
Allowing every living and non-living thing to disclose its real nature to you makes you humble, and then you really understand that a common thread runs throughout the entire creation. It’s beautiful to be wide awake to what is, because then you perceive harmony everywhere, and in your heart settles permanent peace.
