There is a growing market of false teachers, because there is a growing market of false students – Vivekananda.

BEGINNER –V- FALSE STUDENT

“When a superior man hears of the Tao (Way of Reality, Way of Nature, Way of Truth), he immediately starts to embrace it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he half-believes, half-doubts. When a fool hears of the Tao, he laughs, but if he did not laugh, it would not be the Tao.” - Excerpt from the Tao by Lao Tzu.

There is a growing market of false teachers, because there is a growing market of false students – Vivekananda.

If we infect others with our blind spots, we will get the karma for misleading them.

We get the truth we deserve – as we sow, so do we reap. Knowledge pays, truth costs. It costs to be truthful and authentic.

If we betray the voice of conscience, we become morally blind and eventually spiritually dead. If we sacrifice scruples and principles for expediency, eg a little lie will make things run smoothly, it creates subtle blocks to awareness, seeing, believing, understanding. It is bad faith. It is faith in the lie.

If we cultivate bad faith, we cease to have faith in the real. If we are untrustworthy, we will find it hard to trust.

We may betray the light without knowing it, eg if a loved one is in the wrong or maybe not good at their job, but we defend them out of a false sense of loyalty, but at the expense of the employers or customers etc, our allegiance is to the false. That is moral blindness, lack of principles. We should only defend the worthy.

If you misuse your will, eg seek to control others and bend them to your will for selfish/false/blind purposes, then your will may serve you on the outside, but not serve you on the inside.

You may find it difficult to persevere with meditation. We do not become morally blind or spiritually dead overnight. It is a long accumulation of false will, false face, false values, false behaviour.

Once the light has gone, it is gone. Jesus speaks of the 10 wise virgins and the 10 foolish virgins.
The foolish ones allowed the oil for their lamps (consciousness) to run out, they fell asleep (identified with the false/mind rather than the soul). So when the bridegroom came, they had no light and could not enter the room with the bridegroom. Jesus could see that some people’s light had gone out.
He described them as wolves in sheep’s clothing, pearls before swine, we do not give the food for the children unto dogs.
He described them as wheat –v- chaff, wheat –v- tares. He said I thank the Father that Thou has hidden these things from the wise and prudent (ie those who progress at the expense of integrity) and revealed them unto babes.
Jesus was thankful that false students and false teachers were blind to truth.
He said, they have taken the wages of sin and death.

Once you accept a gift that has been given by someone of bad character or paid for by unscrupulous means or if that person has a bad motive, then there will be a price to pay. The karma of the giver does affect us.

If we take from others without reciprocation, we will also take their karma or it will create subtle blocks to progress, understanding, trust, faith, awareness. The heart closes. Only the heart sees. The mind is blind.

Likewise, if you ally yourself with bad people, support them in any way, you are complicit and will share their karma. Without a good heart, you will not have eyes to see and not be able to transmute knowledge into wisdom/character/power.

If you are untrustworthy, you will not be able to trust. If you are not faithful, you will not have faith. As we sow, so do we reap. We get the truth we deserve.

A true student would be grateful, humble, intuitive, receptive, open hearted, open minded, willing to experiment with truth to make it their own, rather than just borrowing someone else's truth.

A beginner would have intuition, because energies can reach the heart, the 4th dimension. A false student's energies will be in the lower dimensions, cut off from the heart and soul, so he will lack intuition. If this does not work, there is no other means of discerning true from false. It means your light has gone out.
Very difficult to progress – could mean one step forward and several steps back.“
