TEXTS

There are many things that we may not realize or notice, which may affect our lives profoundly. Better to at least have some advance warning of the challenges that await, some chance to prepare and make ready for battle or practice. The masters studied extensively, and repeatedly, reviewing material many times over, until it became a part of their being.

Through study, we may be reminded of excellent teachings. I often lose my way, wandering in the company of backwards thinkers, valuing the wrong things. Even if you are not in the mood for study or review, read a little anyways, as the mood may change. Can always take a break, or stop after a while if not feeling engaged.

Studying excellent texts leads to other teachings as well. When reading the direct writings of great minds, their intelligence, insight, and reasonable nature may come to your attention and affect you greatly, like being in great company that has chosen their words most carefully along selected lines.

Assemble many excellent texts for guidance. Time running by in a healthy body that is gifted with high intelligence, concentration, and compassionate concern for all beings, now is a good time to study and practice.

Sacred texts acting as guidebooks have been written and maintained, passed on successfully through well-guarded lineages. In some cases, having been misinterpreted, reworked or ritualized by those without direct understanding. It's one thing to have valid texts, but another thing for materially-minded people to study and take to heart lessons that may not seem appplicable to their pursuits.

Compare and differentiate teachers and texts. Study the words of the wisest, and apply them daily, repeating various, difficult lessons until mastered. One becomes proficient only in that which one has studied. Study hagiographies and biographies, not just the account of their lives, although that as well, but the description of their realization, constituting a narrative and a teaching. Choose the most important first. Summarize and write it down, in order to to pass on the lessons to others.

  • Kaballah
