In this world, the Path of Liberation/Enlightenment is not only still happening, it is progressing.
But to have a possibility of being around it when it is happening, one has to totally believe it. Or one turns it off.
And if the practitioners know someone does not fully believe it, that turns them off completely and it does not happen even for them, while disbelievers or doubters are present.
From the beginning of anyone’s progress, trust of God comes first. Always! That is how God works. With ALL his higher experiences. All of them! First you trust him. Then you experience him, if you really trust and if you have the right teacher and the right circumstances.
No one can do anything about that except be the way God needs us to be to experience him. No one!
