Most of those who claim, or portray, themselves to be highly evolved and advanced souls are not usually so. Rather, they are typically victims of self-delusion. Immature souls, however, are easily swayed by it. There are many people-pleasers, but very few people who really please the Lord. There are many intellectual rascals who will lord themselves over the ignorant and gullible, but there are very few truly wise human beings who will work with others to evolve in consciousness.
Most persons are unconscious of their real nature.
There are many people who 'know better', but very few who are doing better, and very, VERY few who are doing their best . There are many 'pedantists' who can talk for hours and days and weeks and months on the nature of reality, and yet remain steeped in unreality. To be totally conscious, totally aware, totally at peace with oneself is a whole life's effort . To really realize our full potential we must buckle down with ourselves and dive deep within our own being. It has nothing to do with words or wishes or dreams.
