Written by Mathew Naismith
Contradictions occur quite often within spirituality so we
need to know what firstly defines a contradiction? Opposition between two
conflicting forces or ideas, being aware of our physical and non-physical
selves is a contradiction, how could a limited perception perceive that we can
be aware of existing in a physical form and non-physically at the same time,
this is obviously a contradiction. Spiritual awareness on the other hand teaches
us there are no true contradictions, this is mainly due to consciousness being
infinite within it’s expressions.
When we use logical reasoning to reason, we are limited to
these contradictions, we are unable to
become aware past these perceptions of contradictions, spiritual awareness
doesn’t work like this.
Many times have I been told I’m contradicting myself even, surprisingly,
from other people who are spiritually aware, this to me however is a huge
compliment, it shows me how my own perception isn’t limited to human
perception, especially human perception that are limited to these
contradictions.
How can you be of motion and motionless at the same time and
how can you be in oneness while experiencing a fragmented consciousness? To a
mind that is unable to perceive past human perceptions, these are
contradictions, this however stops these people from becoming aware of anything
past these perceived contradictions.
It’s advisable not to listen to anyone who says that you are
contradicting yourself, this is unless you are going to take this kind of
statement as a compliment because it is a compliment. Anyone who doesn’t
contradict themselves while becoming aware, are not truly becoming aware, this
is like not making mistakes while learning, spiritual awareness works the same except it’s not a mistake to contradict yourself, it’s actually a sign of one’s growing awareness.
Consciousness is so vast and infinite, at times it seems to
contradict itself but it doesn’t, not when you become aware enough to know
better.
