*“Your truth isn’t found in trending philosophies
Or the echo chambers of mass opinion.
It rises from the wisdom of countless lives,
Speaking through your deepest knowing.
Listen past the market’s seductive calls.
Your dharma is your only compass.”*
As the soul matures you develop wisdom. We will graduate from the School of Divinity for Human Souls one day because of the wisdom we have gained. We are becoming buddhas, which means “wise ones”. Therefore, the object of life is to advance in wisdom.
Wisdom is stored in your higher-self chakra minds, the wisdom of Anahata, Vishuddhi, and Ajana. This is different to knowledge, which sits in the brain-mind and will be extinguished when brain, consciousness, and its mind get debilitated and dies. Your higher-self chakra minds hold wisdom that is yours eternally. It migrates along with your spirit from one lifetime to the next.
Wisdom changes Your Dharma, which is the spiritual duty resulting from wisdom. Wisdom is not wisdom unless it is lived, and put into practice. That is why the academic may be smart, but not wise; why the illiterate aunty in the village in India may be wise, but not smart like the professor.
All wisdom automatically changes our dharma, which is our own personal sense of duty and correct conduct, and the filter for our worldview. Your sense of duty is a product of your wisdom, and that becomes your virtue. It’s impossible to be happy if you go against your own sense of duty.
Dharma is linked to your inherent wisdom, therefore it is different for everyone. The dharma development of the junior-soul is definitely not equal to that of the senior student on the Path.
Dharma and wisdom remain with the higher-self throughout all incarnations. Dharma plays a crucial role in shaping our identity. The Western perspective on dharma, as your inherent moral guide, has its limitations, Dharma is more than that. It’s the lenses through which you see and interpret reality. Your reality and the reality of a junior-soul on the Path are different. Your dharma is the wisdom your soul and spirit have accumulated over countless ages.
Our path to a lasting state of carefree happiness lies in living authentically and in harmony with our dharma. According to Wayists, dharma is our inherent virtue and is more important than pleasure, status, or material possessions. Because, if you do something against your dharma in pursuit of pleasure, or financial gains, or to gain social standing, it will haunt you and break your energies. The junior-soul, on the other hand, may not even be aware of how the soul suffer the dharmic consequences.
Many fall victim to this because they cannot say no to peer pressure. And it will set them back many years on the Path.
To live a fulfilling life, it’s important to embrace your inherent virtue. Seek pleasure and joy, always, and live a full and eventful life with diverse human experiences. But never go against your Dharma.
There may those who believe there will be be no dharmic consequences should they rape and plunder, or milk a simp for his money and leech of his kindness. And they may see that as fun and pleasure. But you are different. I know that because junior-souls will not read this. It’s just not something they get.
We may not always know the right answer, but reflecting on our wisdom and listening to our spiritual guides, our Taras can guide us in the right direction.
One of the holiest things you can do for your soul’s wellness is to have a lot of fun and a wide variety of experiences, and doing some crazy stuff. It is your duty to live life. That is true spirituality. But never go against your dharma and always be doing introspection to analyze the mistakes you made and become a better person for it.
It is important for followers of Wayism to consistently seek to develop more wisdom, or increase what they have. We put into practice the teaching, and develop more layers of insight, far beyond what we can ever tell in books with ‘words of wisdom’.
This noble pursuit will lead us on a journey of discovery, where we will unlock profound insights into the true nature of things.
Achieving wellness and joy requires fully embracing everyday life and reflecting on your progress. Say ‘hi’ to the moth and ask about the squirrel’s babies, while also checking in on the sunbeam in winter as they navigate life’s challenges. Live a life that embodies your authenticity and dharma.
