Their is a thin line between reality and fantasy.
People have a tendency to see the world in the light they wish to see it. Its a hard line not to cross especially when it comes to the metaphysical... its hard enough not to cross it when it comes to the physical. Part of the reason I've declined soo much in my study of metaphysics has to do with seeing the same story happen over and over again... and having no real solution for its prevention.

When it comes to metaphysics the only way to actually verify anything, and I mean Anything, is to have another person verify the information for you. Otherwise their is no way to check, you have a hunch you know something. While this might be very useful, might be something you'd want to cultivate. There is nothing else to it. This requires people of some comprable skill and ability...

For those of us... who want to change the world...

Strike that... I won't talk for others. I want to accomplish something with my life. I want to make a change! I thought for a period of time that teaching people to transcend their own limitations would be helpful... it turns out that much of the time... without the boundries that the world around us imposes people have a tendency to believe whatever they want.

They don't transcend their limitations... metaphysics gives people a nice little nitch where their limitations can't be challenged. You can Create the verification you want... because you want it. Instead of understanding that your supposed to be looking for those things which you don't agree with, the things that you are wrong about... people just want to verify what they already know.

Alot of those I studied with lost track of reality. Started believing whatever they wanted... stopped working with others or shut down. It was always the same story... they were only ever partially right. They mixed fantasy with reality. They let their emotions have too much control, succumbed to fear and self doubt. They worked to their own sabotage. Many became emotionally unstable... if they weren't before they started practicing.

I couldn't find anyone with any skill... I couldn't find anyone who could open themselves up to being wrong. I studied too much... I knew too much... I wanted someone to challenge me so we could mutually grow.

I don't know... I guess I decided its better to just study life and try to change things on that spectrum.
