There are some – many, actually – who do not see a world of metaphysics and spirituality. It is not that they won’t see it; rather, they can’t see it. For others of us, of course, we can’t not see the world in terms of metaphysics and spirituality. So how can we most effectively interact with the many who do not see what we see?
Eye-opening, for me, was a perspective recently offered by Kryon, as channelled by Lee Carroll. Kryon used the analogy of being colorblind to a particular color. I will call that color “Nurple”, to distinguish it from colors that everyone sees. In the offered metaphor, some can see Nurple, and some can’t. Again, it is not that they refuse to acknowledge Nurple; rather, they can’t see it, so for them it is not there.
I am not talking here about those who absolutely can see and have seen Nurple, but for whatever reason have chosen to look away. No doubt their reasons are rooted in some fear or programming that holds them in thrall. Rather, this article is about interacting with those who simply cannot see Nurple. For them, this world consists of four-dimensional Spacetime and nothing more.
We should be able to relate to those who cannot see Nurple. Every one of us has a physical brain – and the Ego constructed by that physical brain – that cannot see and will never see beyond four-dimensional Spacetime. The world of metaphysics and spirituality – i.e., Nurple – opens up when one begins to awaken to the higher consciousness that is the true player here in Earth Game. The key realization is that the physical body and physical brain are merely an avatar for engaging in and interacting with the physical world. Short of that awakening, where one thinks they are their physical body and nothing more, well, no Nurple will be seen.
Persuasion is not the point. If you cannot see Nurple, I can describe Nurple, I can tell you all about it, and I can explain to you with what I consider to be a compelling logic why Nurple must exist. I can even point out gaps and holes in your understanding of the physical world that can only be explained in terms of Nurple. But when you respond that there is no such thing as Nurple because you have never seen it or detected it with any other physical senses, that is a complete answer. For you, there is no Nurple. At least, not yet. It occurs to me that I need to be okay with that.
Moreover, there is nothing to judge or be judged about here. Imagine, by analogy, a school with students ranging from grade one through grade twelve. The students in a higher grade will understand things that the students in the lower grades cannot yet comprehend. Does that make the grade 12’s better than the grade 1’s? Of course not. They have had more opportunity to learn about the world, but in time the younger students will also have those opportunities.
Or, to shift the metaphor just a bit, some of the students in the school will have reached puberty, and others will not. Are the post-pubescent somehow better than the pre-pubescent ones? Of course not. But their thoughts about life and the world and their place in it will understandably be different. (Similarly, “spiritual puberty” eventually changes everything.)
So, how do we Nurplers engage with the non-Nurplers? Some of the latter will be family members. Some will be co-workers, golf buddies, pickleball partners. Each and every one of the non-Nurplers will be every bit as much a part of Source/God as any Nurpler. Many will be delightful to interact with. Some won’t, but no doubt there are at least some Nurplers in the non-delightful category as well. I am not drawn to seek out a “Nurplers Only” commune, and I can’t see that as a practical alternative in any event.
One thing I am sure of. One ought not to go door-to-door with a view to persuading non-Nurplers that they ought to see the color Nurple. They can’t (yet) see the color Nurple, remember? And they will see it when they see it. It is not my job or yours to run around pointing out Nurple to those who cannot see Nurple. Finding a soap-box from which to talk sense into non-Nurplers cannot possibly be the way.
What we can do, however, is to show what Nurple feels like. When one can not only see Nurple but chooses to look for Nurple in all the moments of everyday life, that has an effect. In those moments, an all-pervading and ever-present love is sensed, and fear backs away. At the same time, a resounding joy comes to the fore, and whatever has already happened is left to be in the past. The recipe seems simple enough: feel for the love, feel for the joy; and let the love and the joy shine through. In your every interaction, with Nurplers and non-Nurplers alike.
Those who see the color Nurple will get you, and they will tune into the frequencies that you are broadcasting. Those who do not see the color Nurple won’t quite get why you seem so damn full of love and joy, but they won’t find it offputting. Perhaps they will even take a closer look at you, curious about what has gotten into you. If they peer closely enough, they may even catch a glimpse of Nurple. That isn’t your mission, though. Rather, your role is only to put Nurple quietly on display. No sales job is involved; that would probably even be counter-productive. Just live your life from love and joy, and let the external world respond to you as it may. Pushing Nurple on those who can’t see it just gives them something to push back against.
I’m not suggesting that one should be a patsy or a pushover. But when you say no or draw a line, do it from a foundation of love and joy and the full perspective afforded by a world colored in shades of Nurple.
Coming back to those, as mentioned earlier, who can see Nurple but choose not to, you can deploy the same strategy with them as well. Quietly let them see them how good Nurple looks on you. And how safe Nurple feels. Perhaps that could inspire them – without any coaxing or sales job on your part – to take a chance at stepping beyond their own private fears. No need to point the way; just show the way.
As and when others begin to discover Nurple for the first time, no need to jump in right away and explain it all to them. Let them enjoy their discovery and their very personal exploration of Nurple. Of course, if they find themselves disoriented or even frightened as their world opens up into strange and wonderful new vistas, we will be there to reassure them, and to help them make sense of it all.
As for those relative few who regard Nurple as the enemy – because it runs contrary to their lust for power or revenge or world domination – well, the less interaction with them, the better. But their time is running out in any event. I like the metaphor (also originally from Kryon) of a room filled with darkness that is adjacent to a room filled with light. If a door is opened between the two rooms, the light spills into the darkness; but the darkness does not spill into the light. Just keep your light on. If you decline to be drawn into the darkness of others, the light will prevail.
