I have been studying numerous religions for a long period of time. I hear the same phrases over and over again. I've attended many seminars and workshops and listened to gurus, leadership experts, priest and priestess all talk about the same thing. They speak about enlightenment, about peace of mind, and awareness. However, many of these people are missing out on one huge concept, degradation. There is the law of gravity that pulls us down; it keeps us near the earth and from floating away. However, gravity can be our worse enemy when it comes to self-development. The best way to explain degradation is to imagine going into a seven-story walk up building. Each floor represents a stage of development that you have to pass through in order to reach the top. The top is like the pen house suite. In spiritual terms this pen house suite is a symbolization of completeness, where you are freed from the confines of the physical body. Many mystics believe that reaching the top allows one to tap into innate powers and magical abilities. Others believe that the top is where the soul is free from the wheels of life that forces reincarnation. The goal is to get to the top. Each level has its own vibrational frequency that you need to master. As you climb the stairs you become more powerful because the higher up you go the more you can see. However, there is one small problem. The law of degradation will pull you down. It will make it completely difficult if not almost impossible to get to the top. Many people trip, fall, and stumble down the stairs. The higher they are, the harder the fall. Some people fall and can't get back up again. Others work to dress their wounds and heal before they make an attempt to climb the stairs again. Those who are wounded need to work twice as hard to make up for the ground that was lost. This happens to many of us when we make bad choices and fall off our path. The force of gravity sends us tumbling down. But that's ok. The biggest problem that many of us face is getting up again. Many times, we don't dress or wounds properly, or give ourselves enough time to heal. So we limp back up the stairs, knowing full well that we are not strong enough to make it to the top. So we keep falling down, over and over again, until we just give up. We can see this with criminals who are repeat offenders and drug addicts. The only way to combat the law of degradation is to completely heal our wounds. This means taking the time to reflect and look within. Healing is about acceptance and taking responsibility for our lives.
