There has been much discussion lately in the nonduality circles about transparency and ethics when it comes to spiritual teachings. What to do?

This is a matter for each individual soul to decide, for the law of levels is absolute. When your inner knowing speaks, you must listen. We are all cowards when it comes to that. For when we listen, we hear love speaking directly to us. It says, “Come, follow Me.”

No outer rules can help the soul here. When it lies down in that grass.

The heart has its agenda and the intellect another. When the intellect ripens and falls to the ground, the heart awakens.

Man speaking about God is always suspect, whether in the church or out of it. Only the ego follows second-hand teachings. The Christ Consciousness tends its sheep.

The way is narrow and the mountain steep but the heart will continue, leaving the mind in the dust.

Even if a ethics board was commissioned, it would exist on the same level as political agendas. Rules are made to be broken.

As I reread this, it sounds like drivel. But some of you are nodding in agreement.

If you don’t know what to do, simply be with yourself in silence. That is not an easy thing to do.

Answers are all around us. The awakening of the heart happens simply and quietly and is an ongoing process.

Synchronicity speaks louder than rules, always. Pay attention to what comes to you without effort. Claim it as a teaching and you will never have to wrestle with ethical issues. Love prevails.
