We tend to accept the world as it is, and our acceptance varies depending on the time and place in which we find ourselves living. Moral references are necessary, otherwise we move like flags exposed to the wind.You find a substantial amount of money on the ground, enough to be able to buy you that thing you need. What is your first thought?A person’s relationship with money is extremely indicative of his or her level of consciousness. Those who show great attachment to material wealth do not realize that life is ephemeral and that everyone, including billionaires, will someday end up in the ground and will not be able to take with them the wealth accumulated during their earthly lives. Money is the greatest and most powerful illusion produced by this world. In short, attachment to money is a direct gauge of spiritual sensitivity: the lesser the attachment, the greater the power of the spirit; and vice versa. The world in which we live forces us to use money, and doing without it is virtually impossible. In terms of awareness, it should be regarded as a temporarily necessary evil, while in concrete terms it should be used as little as possible in such a way that its social importance is reduced.2. Is judging people right or wrong?Ideally, the spiritually aware person observes things in the world with a certain emotional detachment, so they do not feel personally affected by what is happening around them. However, the line between conscious detachment and mindlessness is rather thin, and we must be careful not to confuse the two. The mindless person does not feel touched because they are selfishly concerned only with their own little backyard, losing sight, of course, of the big picture. When someone attempts to trespass on their backyard, the mindless person gets very angry. The spiritually aware person lets the grossness of the world slide over them because they are focused on the big picture of existence, of which earthly life only represents a small part.Therefore, it is not a matter of right or wrong, for these are notions inherited from the world and, for that very reason, entirely illusory. The outer world is nothing but a projection of our inner world. So, feeling the need to judge means seeing in the other person a part of ourselves that we do not understand or accept. Actually, that thing we want to remove from us is exactly what we should pay attention to in order to better understand ourselves.3. When 99 out of 100 people agree on a given issue, it means that:It simply means that 99 people have accepted the same interpretation of reality, most likely without ever thinking deeply about it. At the same time, the one person in disagreement may have noticed something that everyone else missed, or may have developed an even more absurd theory than the majority one. Since outer reality is fundamentally a projection of our inner world, and the concepts of right and wrong are equally a result of the time and place in which we are born and raised, we cannot draw any definitive conclusions in terms of awareness.4. What is the difference between GOOD SENSE and COMMON SENSE?Common sense is widespread and occurs as a mass phenomenon typical of a given society. Good sense, on the other hand, refers to more subjective parameters and is therefore more closely related to individual consciousness. Whatever the case, in consciential terms there is neither common sense nor good sense, as both...
