I often find it a burden to have experienced the things that I have, things that seemingly 99.9% of the world's population has not experienced. This makes me feel like I walk around possessing special knowledge.
Sure, it can seem burdensome to awaken from the mass hypnosis of the greater majority of our fellow earthlings. Humankind is so blinded by it's own limiting parameters, it can be awkward and downright uncomfortable to have an interaction with another person who wants you to fit neatly into a predesignated and largely stagnant mold of behavior and thought (and like it, at that).
So, when by magikal means we open ourselves up to higher dimensionality and a far deeper attention, focused beyond the confines of the "ordinary"... see another world, more than just the superficial animal-mind dictates we embody through our unconscious striving... it's mind bending and quite ego shattering It's like blowing the roof off of the small conceptual room, in which we humanoids habitually spend most of our lives locked within. So, we open the doorway and step into eternity. There's a whole universe to explore!
"Special knowledge" often times seems to separate the individual who experiences a mystical or other-worldly realm of conscious-awareness or keenly observed interiors within (and far beyond) the confines of the routine modality we are trained to obliquely observe... light years from the
normal mind-set prevalent in such abundance. Right? And while this can initially separate us psychologically or spiritually, from the slumbering majority of our fellows, this is a passing phase, my friend. We've all walked this road and there is assuredly, light at the end of the tunnel. :thumb_up:
And I have come to believe that if this Gnosis is really special or truly enlightening, I feel it should also unite us, on a deeper level, with all others existent around us. Sadly, they may not even know that you are aware and compassionate to their limitations in perception... but just send 'em good vibrations and loving thoughts of peace and well-being. Compassion is not at all like pity, judgmentalism or isolationism, it is a natural healing process, beginning in the heart with a small or large act of kindness and understanding.
I guess I don't like that feeling, I kind of do, but mostly don't. I also suspect that this way of thinking is somehow wrong, because I have read some of the most difficult philosophy books in the world and I do not feel that having that special, esoteric knowledge is a burden. What do you think?

Wrong and right are wholly subjective interpretations, that we are trained to definitively project upon all that we experience or encounter on our life journey. If one contemplates upon these polarized labels long enough... seeking clarity, they become more and more abstract. You certainly aren't "wrong" at all for feeling that there is something kind of off-center or illogical, with your heightened perceptual conundrum. Sensitivity is a gift, use it wisely.
It's OK to feel that your special knowledge (or Sacred understanding) makes you feel out of place within a world afflicted with an all-pervasive spiritual sickness. A world climate of extreme agitation and unbridled desire, collectively, which seems hell-bent on: making more and more money, hoarding material possessions and having all the creature comforts. This goes hand-in-hand with a kind of selfishness that alienates each of us from the feeling of togetherness and the warmth of humanity at large, all of us united as one greater family. Tragically, we are plagued with pollution, poverty, racism, violence running rampant... and the atrocities of war, still prevalent upon this miraculous planetary sphere. :!:
And yeah, when the vista suddenly widens exponentially, it can be a lonely place, since all around us... we see folks just blindly going through the programmed motions and vainly scrambling to follow the dictates of main-steam society. And to stay awake is really hard work, since everything around us is geared to perpetuate illusions and false realities.
But one step follows another on this journey. And we are here together, united in our understanding, itself a special kind of inner knowing, an integrated epiphany of just who and what we truly are. We are wholly universal beings... and we are not just parts of the cosmos, we are the universal itself, waking up to gaze into the mirror of the Absolute. Our questioning minds and opening hearts challenge any mirages or barriers of understanding. Heck, this is special, after all... and it's good to know that you are not alone. We are all one interconnected bloom of an ever-opening spiritual vision. We are a family, in our own way, even if anonymous to one another.
We are each hardwired to see through the walls which have been built around us and gaze into the infinite reality behind the surface appearances. It's wonderful to peek behind the veiled curtain,
DisEmboDied. Just as long as we individually or collectively believe that by positive affirmation and a cultivation of higher awareness...
we are awake and we are free. This Nexian oasis rocks, and together we can move mountains! As wise brother
Dioxippus so sweetly expressed, we are called to share the knowledge, good people, so let your love lights shine!!!
