Awakening to yourself, never needs you to develop a new self

Tweet

I read this on the Internet recently, written by some religious scholar. "Only the awakened can guide others to be awake." I thought about it, and came to the conclusion, that it is just not true. No, this is not true, as even the unawakened can teach you something, and everyone, and everything, can guide you to be more awake, so, do not limit your growth by proudly only listening to those you esteem as being already awakened. On the other hand, awakening is more illusion, than truth. Nobody should waste their time trying to improve themselves. They should realise that trying to polish their own mirror only ever maintains a false illusion. Self-improvement works in the short term because it gives you the awakened consciousness to suspect the truth. In the long term then, though, this ticket of consciousness must be dropped, as you realise you are not on a journey, needing a ticket after all, at all. You are simply a part of God being God. Nothing improves oneness, because oneness just changes its orientation out of sheer orneriness, or boredom. There is no point to anything; all is just as it is, and that is its point. It is love that brings creation to life, and creation, when it embraces love, creates self-improvement, but this is only a ladder that it must climb to reach out of itself, once more again, and to see that all is God, because love always energises all, in exactly the same way, when they allow it to. The only self-improvement possible is to realise the non-love that is presently in you, get rid of it, and then return yourself to the fullness of real love, which can never be anymore improved upon. Perfect love is always perfect love. No improvements are ever necessary.
