I Am Here to Awaken You from This Torment
BUBBA: The function of the Spiritual Master, or the Adept, is to call people’s attention to all the influences that are simply serving to put them to sleep in their superficial mind and associations. My function is to begin to awaken you to your real responsibility. Being asleep in the world, just moving with the flow of its tendencies and suffering whatever destiny others want to create for you, is not right action. You must get angry and penetrate the stupidity of your repetitive existence.
I am not asking you to be a mild-mannered idiot, but to start changing yourself and changing the world, creating new conditions. You must change yourself first, but the more “yourselves” there are, the more the world itself can change, the more it can stop being simply a place of disturbance where only obsessed and unenlightened people can live. The present dogma of the world is one in which only unenlightened people can exist.
Everyone is supposed to be an idiot who has no sense of what is happening around him, who is as simple as pie and just does whatever comes his way.
“The voice of the Adept has been smothered by stupid mythologies and acquired by unillumined priests.”
The world is not made for Enlightened people. It does not teach people to be Enlightened. It does not demand that they be Enlightened. What have you heard on TV that represents a demand for Enlightenment? The world is not based on such a thing. The world has been taken over by idiots, by unenlightened people. And the voice of the Adept has been smothered by stupid mythologies and acquired by unillumined priests.
Therefore, the Spiritual Master must come alive and show himself outside the realms of the usual idiocy and even of the usual religious cultism. That is why I have been born in the Condition in which I have been born, with no associations whatsoever, with no tradition—because they have all become corrupted. The voice of the Spiritual Master, the Divine Teaching, is corrupted even in the cults that are supposed to be the carriers of the tradition of Enlightenment. Therefore, it is necessary for me to appear and to speak the Word of Truth from outside all high-born associations, all traditional associations, even all ordinary advantages in the world. ■
