Ana Pinheiro 1 hr · The problem with the new age concepts peddled by people like David Icke, who tell us things like “we are all infinite consciousness”, is that such canned spiritual concepts are no different from mainstream religious dogma that has been offered up for mass consumption for centuries. [...] The point being that, when David Icke or your local priest tells you that you are “pure consciousness” or “a child of god”, and that all you have to do is recognize this to become it, they are lulling you into a false sense of spirituality. Simply telling yourself that you are spiritual or spiritually evolved or that you are ‘going to heaven’ because you believe it, achieves nothing except ensuring that you will do nothing to truly evolve because you believe you are already there. [...] What religions, mainstream and ‘new age’ teach is analogous to Gurdjieff’s story of the evil magician,.....The evil magician’s sheep were still sheep, despite what he made them believe about themselves. The only way that the sheep were ever going to have a chance of true evolution, which is by definition a spiritual evolution to something beyond the crass physicality-oriented lives we all lead, was if they were able to recognise the TRUTH of their situation: that they were mere sheep, being preyed upon by the magician, and that he was deliberately deceiving them with lofty words and notions so that he could continue to keep them in a state of stasis so that he could exploit them. So the point is this: any human that desires to engage in the process of true and meaningful evolution must begin by taking stock of where he/she is at, of his/her limitations, biases, prejudices, wrong beliefs, personal disfunctionality and ‘issues’, ‘programs’ that he/she runs. In short, we must recognise the state of our being as IT IS, so that we can identify the flaws and blockages that prevent us from achieving those lofty states that so many charlatans tell us we have already attained, and work on those blockages to true evolution first. That’s it, it’s the ‘work on the self’. Not so lofty perhaps, not much ‘you’re a special diamond’, but rather, you may become one, if you’re willing to face the objective reality, both within yourself and in the world ‘out there’.
