Progress

Ignorance, rejection, revelation are three stages, which summarize the path between believing a lie and grasping the truth. Consider them a problem-reaction-solution sequence toward divine ends.

Ignorance is essentially false belief reinforced by mental and emotional programming. By ignorance, it is meant unwillingness to seek greater understanding. This can come from a lack of intellectual application and/or absence of intuition.

Rejection occurs when one glimpses all the fallacies of the first stage but is shocked into losing balance and perspective. This stage requires intellect, but suffers from an absence of intuition. Rejection ist a logical inversion of the first stage, a negative image.

Revelation is when one sees the fallacies of the first stage, the contextual shortcomings of the second stage, and the constructive truth residing beyond each. This requires intellect and intuition — intellect to see the fallacies, intuition to leap into a higher level of understanding.

Most of mankind never makes it past the first stage, existing instead as mainstream mouthpieces for the "System". Many of them have closed higher chakras and are thus incapable of revelation. Some are simply too busy, with body and ego survival, to care.

Then there are the smart ones who awaken from the first stage. They think they are pretty clever in seeing the flaws in some mainstream institution or belief system. Those, who get fixated on rejection, tend to plunge into cynicism, skepticism, and negativity because all their energy is devoted to pulling weeds rather than planting seeds. A negative image, indeed.

During the second stage people are emotionally shocked and frustrated, which leaves them vulnerable. Shocks can stun the intellect into adopting an immature binary viewpoint, - if something is a lie then its logical negative (opposite) must be the truth. For example, those who awaken from the lies of religions but get stuck on the second stage either become rabid atheists or satanists, trading one stupidity for another.

In the third stage, one comes full circle. Atheists may once again believe in a higher deity but nothing like what is propagated through mainstream religion. Those who rejected the naive positivity of New Age fluffism in favor of cynical “objectivity” may once again believe in the value of positivity but this time only when matched with awareness.

These stages are therefore three points on a helical spiral where a full 360 degrees brings one upward to the beginning of the next turn. One starts at 0 degrees, ignorance, runs madly to the opposite side at 180 degrees, rejection, and then completes the turn at 360 degrees, revelation. This is ascension, the cyclical raising of consciousness through increasingly less distorted manifestations of the same archetype.

Ascension up the spiral can only happen when one uses both the head and the heart, intellect and intuition. It is not enough to see what’s wrong with the old; instead, internal revelation must also open one’s eyes to the new.
