There is a preferred method by which news is glamorized and expanded on. The “What if” scenario plays on the public’s need to feel there was another way the event may have turned out if things didn’t turned out the way they did. This is the game of hypothesizing. Since the hypothetical doesn’t exist (except in your mind), you may think this has no importance regarding the path to enlightenment. Anything, however which has the ability to divert your attention and excite your ego, is contributory to distracting your spiritual efforts. The hypothetical is a constant disruption in your energy field. How does this relate to the path to enlightenment?

There is a spiritual school of thought cautioning not following the negative news of world events. Observing what is happening with neutrality however can be an enlightening process. As a student on the path, think of the possibilities for testing your ability to remain detached from the infinite theater of the material world. As each day passes, the media barrage regularly offers up grisly events with the ensuing hypothetical “What ifs.” The news may possibly be experienced by your psyche as a disturbance. Higher consciousness knows there are no problems however, only karmic propensities. So, by using these experiences as a test for your consciousness, it may in fact accelerate the path of the spiritual student.

Spiritual groups often practice cloistering themselves to remain detached from the negative aspects of the material world. Since this world is the perfect proving ground for your spirit, it makes great sense to place yourself in the middle of the discord occasionally, in order to practice remaining neutral despite it all. Could there possibly be a better way of living higher consciousness while detachedly observing the chaos surrounding you?

The process of living unbiased within a difficult world may be the greatest spiritual exercise for your soul, while transcending levels of consciousness. Through the process of surrendering and trusting all to Divinity, this one practice alone may be the only thing necessary on the path to enlightenment. This method isn’t effortless, but extremely rewarding.
