Behind Scepticism – (1128)

Introduction

Scepticism usually means to not believe in something! This includes a whole range of things from the very human to the very spiritual.

Scepticism ‘on the path’ is something a little different which implies fear and also pride.

Resistance is a large part of scepticism ‘on the path’.

Nothing is Ever Empty

If we examine duality, we know that nothing is ever empty, meaning that when one value leaves the opposite enters to take its place!

We can never lose faith in something that we knew before! So all these sceptical people are actually very spiritual, or rather were and now scepticism has filled their system because something in the past deeply disillusioned or disheartened them, not quite beyond repair but close to it.

Meaning that these sceptical people knew before, something about spirituality.

Mechanical Antipathy

The secret of mechanical antipathy is that we reject the value that we see in another and which it happens that we also have.

The negative attacks towards the person that we reject is really against ourselves in the sense that we don't accept in ourselves what we see in others but we have in ourselves.

Reject Only What We Know

We can never reject something that we don't know. This is important to understand!

So then scepticism is to reject something that we actually knew before!

What we try to achieve but can not, we go against and begin to hate.

If we knew something, this means that we are rejecting really what we have inside of ourselves, which could be memories or a certain value!

With celibacy one is scared of sexuality because of a past failure and so with the painful consequences of this in the past one commits like a kind of spiritual suicide so as to not fail again and feel those painful consequences.
