Tradition

Simply and elegantly said!

Definitely from one who is really deep and advanced, someone who had made some advancement in the realm of mystic introspection. This individual within this lifetime progressed beyond the level of societal conditioning and is already in a position to have awareness of this concern with clarity.

Yes, tradition is pressure from dead people. In Inselfyoga, it is referred to by Rishi Michael as ancestral pressure to partake in world history. Referring to disembodied persons as peers indicates familiarity with contemporary interpretations, but “ancestral” is direct and gotten from familiarity with the actual experiences, it is not mere awareness or understanding.

Interestingly the author is unknown, perhaps an observation of maintaining distance from making history by owning some broadcasted information, I wonder.I do absolutely agree with the statement, and further reduce the human or animated entities in general, as a combination of memory mechanism and tradition stock. I would also define tradition more broadly to include the sum total of acquired instincts and patterns of behavior.

The use of "tradition" implies more of an emotional connection to the formation of cultures and history, but through the fluff it is all simply mechanical, though all made to be accepted as much more than that.

So the yogis or mystic introspectors eventually realize the need to disassociate with all those pressures from their roots, as well as the appreciation or identification with what satisfaction one gets from responding to said pressures.

A main contribution of the qualified guru is to provide clarifications on this process, as some nuances that will remain particular to individual persons may not be gathered and resolved from manuals or scriptures alone.
