Those who are not awake to the reality of Oneness\nare Blind.  There are levels to this Blindness.  If you are not yet\nenlightened, read this article to get a sense of where you are on the\nBlindness scale, and what to do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Level 1 : Darkness<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\nprimitive human condition is established in darkness.  In this case,\nthe person just lives his \/ her life just as an animal would do.\nEat, drink, sleep, reproduce and die.  This layer is immersed in\nignorance and does not even know that they are immersed in ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Level 2 : Blinding Darkness<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This\nis the group that knows that there is something more to life.  They\nhave a sense that they are trapped in ignorance but they carry an \u201cI\ndon\u2019t care\u201d attitude about it.  These are the ones that worship\nignorance and get into tiredness and boredom, and unable are\nunwilling to move further.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Level 3 : Greater than Blinding Darkness<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This\ngroup is the one established in half-knowledge.  Knowledge that is\nintellectual but which has not become an established experience.\nThey have spent time with certain concepts and have not aligned their\nlife to those concepts.  This is more dangerous than Level 2.  This\ngroup worship knowledge but which is incomplete.  They won\u2019t have\ntiredness or boredom.  They will be very active, but in the wrong\ndirection.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>How does one fall into Level 3?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Familiarity\nbreeds contempt.  Even with the idea you are pure consciousness, if\nyou are acquainted and are thinking about it a lot, but you never\nmade that as your cognition, you never transformed your life, you\nnever aligned your life to the truth, then slowly, slowly, slowly,\nyou think what you are living and doing is much better than normal\npeople who don\u2019t even know they are Consciousness.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>So\nwith this justification, the worship of imperfect knowledge, the\nincomplete knowledge starts.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The danger of non-practice<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>How\nmuch ever you may know about yoga, swimming or surgery, unless you\nDO, you won\u2019t have the result.  Knowing but not doing, the\nnon-practice, that\u2019s the most difficult mental setup.  Once you\nacquire that, your whole life is gone.  Listening to the concept but\nnot living them, is most dangerous.  Once that mental setup comes to\nyou, anything that is presented to you will be brushed aside.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>How to avoid this trap?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When\nyou are driven by your greed or fear, constantly you will reinvent\nyourself.  If you are in love with a girl, how constantly you will\nreinvent yourself to demonstrate your love to her or impress her; if\nyou are afraid of your wife, how constantly you will reinvent\nyourself to save yourself or to escape from her.  When the fear and\ngreed is there, how you constantly reinvent yourself, re-strategize\nyourself, do the same out of inspiration on the great truths from\nUpanishads. Do the same. Reinvent and re-strategize based on\nUpanishadic principles constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Reinvent and Re-strategize your life<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Re-strategizing\nyour whole life with the truth \u201cI am Consciousness\u201d means not\nbeing pushed by stupid fears and greed, but being pushed only by\ntremendous joy, inspiration, happiness, bliss, fulfilment, and\ncompletion.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>If\nyour fuel is only completion and inspiration, you are blessed.\nReinventing and re-strategizing your life will make you flow more and\nmore, make you alive more and more.  It will break the parts of you\nwhich is frozen and make them alive again.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/p>\n\n\n<p>See\nSatsangs at<em>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\">http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just because you have eyes and are reading this article does not mean that you are not blind.
