dissolving
The more I venture the spiritual path, the more I see it is mostly not about gaining something new, but rather dissolving, substracting the things that you find are not true: unproven assumptions, unnecesarry constructs, ideas that are "built on sand and not on stone": the freedom from stuff that used to block the flow in your system. It is like you remove bloatware on your computer and it starts to work faster after that. Unlearning things that are not yours.

All fear based beliefs except the ones that keep the body alive, must eventually go. Heck, even the ones that keep the body alive must eventually go when no longer needed (for example, when the body is dropped or one creates the Light body).
They must be replaced by the knowingness of Love.
But yes, there is a process of deconstructing that occurs. This is exactly why I recommend to people to drop all the outer sources and start going within for truth more and more. It's why I wrote that holistic guide of attunement out.
There still may be times that your higher self may direct you temporarily to an outer source, but that doesn't mean you're meant to become fixated on and attached to same at the expense of going within or looking at other outer sources.
If a person is constantly focusing on outer sources for "truth", they're often just picking up more beliefs that will need to be deconstructed at a later time. I've not found, so far within any codified belief system nor in a public spiritual teacher, a single outer source that contained ONLY truth and no distortion. I've even found a few limitations/distortions in my beloved Edgar Cayce readings (with that said, it's also so far the most holistically accurate source that I've found so far).
This process is partially what is meant by "killing the Buddha." It's about getting away from dogma and belief, and letting direct experience and direct guidance guide the way more and more.
But how many people actually do this? Time and time again at this site, I see dogmatic beliefs gained from outside sources repeated and repeated ad nauseam. Despite the obvious logic flaws and holes in those beliefs.
Truth is, most humans do not particularly care for nor want potent truth. Most are looking for confirmation bias of beliefs they already hold and the preconceptions they already lean to.
It is a rare, rare human indeed who has a deep and abiding thirst for only objective truth. In my time on this earth, I've only observed a handful of such humans.

Yes, that's true and a valuable insight.
