Truth or Dare

No one Saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may, others can Point to the Path, but we ourselves must Walk the Way. You must BE what you want your abode to BE. A close Open Honest Observation of your own energy just may reveal the answer. The Open Honest Self-Observation can do no harm even if it lead nowhere.

"Good or unpleasant" is again our conditioned judgement system of right/wrong or good/bad or pleasant/unpleasant. May I offer that ALL Direct Experiences are of great worth to us, for it is in the True Open Honest Observation of those Experiences that we come to "know thyself". The present instant Moment IS, and is established by what we do the previous Moment. And so, what the next Moment will BE is established by what we do NOW. So you see, we establish what is "meant to be", not a predestination sat up by some imagined *higher power* to teach us some imagined lesson. Conditioned, Sleeping, we respond to the Direct Experience IN the Moment with conditioned notions and so what is "meant to be" is also of that same conditioned nature. A *Vicious Circle of Blindness*. Awakening, not conditioned, we respond to the Moment as it IS without projecting our conditioned notions into/onto that Direct Experience and so what is "meant to be" IS What-IS -- IS Reality, IS Truth.

*Belonging* indicates a larger whole that we belong to and that such belonging establishes *separation* which establishes *fear* that the *larger whole* may be inadequate for our conditioned need of stability. That is, we are not a *part* of a *larger whole* but rather that we ARE the Whole. And that this *separation* establishes boundaries or walls between the *separate parts*. Separation establishes our *territory* and thus our need to guard OUR territory, and thus establishes our *posession* of said territory, and thus establishes our *attachments* that need to be *protected* for fear of loss. By *defining* ourselves we set ourselves aside from what we ARE. We separate ourselves from what we ARE. We Veil ourselves with Masks that even we do not recognize. If All is One and One is All, if as Above so Below, then we and our experiences are one in the same. We and what we experience is one in the same. We do not *belong*, but rather that we ARE.

Indeed, defining ourselves is important to our conditioned need to attach ourselves to this or that. Our *identifying* ourselves to this or that attaches us to this or that, thus establishing our separate "identity". And so we are our identity -- "as a man thinketh, so is he". Yet we are not that which we identify ourselves with, so we ARE that which we experience. It is a conditioned game that we play with ourselves to be other than what we ARE. For we do not care for what we ARE. And since we refuse to give up these Causes of our Suffering, since we refuse to discard our conditioned notions, we fool ourselves by identifying ourselves with this or that.

There is but Truth, and we can not identify ourselves with it for it simply IS -- we can only BE Truth -- and is not this or that. So in order for us to Realize or Recognize Truth, we must BE -- and not be this or that.

Reality IS only IN the Moment, and has nothing to do with a group or any conditioned identity that we Mask ourselves with. There is Truth only IN Reality and there is Reality only IN Truth -- and can only be Realized without separation and without fear associated with separation. It is a state of mind, it is a state of BEing, it is the jump of the legless frog, that we Recognize ourselves and Recognize who and what we ARE and Recognize that which IS and Recognize that which we must BE. And since our greatest fear is that we may recognize this, we refuse to Openly and Honestly Look into the Mirror of Truth -- which will reveal the hideous automatons that we are conditioned to be. *As a man Experienceth, so IS he*.

May of offer that it is in *thinking* that Truth can not be Realized or Recognized. When we empty the folder named *mind*, we Realize and Recognize much that was hitherto Veiled by the clutter of *thinking*. If we want to be knowledgable we have to learn something every day, yet if we want to be Wise we must un-learn something each day. The destination IS the Journey.

This note does not indicate any Truth, but rather that it is useful to someone in some situation and may be useful to us in similar situations. Mere utility or functionality does not in itself indicate Truth. Ah, indeed the problem is in the various meanings of the loosely used word *Truth*. For Truth can not be held as one's own, can not be possessed, can not be contained, and can not be found. Truth stands alone and is Realized as it IS without our conditioned projected meanings into/onto it. If it is Truth, it must be the very same from one individual to the other. Otherwise it is merely one's conditioned notion of what he is conditioned to *think* is Truth, therefore has very little to do with Truth. Personal so called Truth is nothing more than one's projected conditionings, which change from one social system and belief system to the next. This is *perception*, *conditioned perception*, and not Truth. Much Suffering and hate and conflict and war is founded on these conditioned notions of this *personal truth*.

We can not *approach* Truth, we must BE Truth. When we try to contain Truth in *thinking*, we push our Realization and Recognition of Truth away from us. It is when we stop thinking *about* Truth and stop perceiving thinking *as* Truth and Dwell IN the Reality of the Moment, Moment to Moment, do we Recognize that our conditioned ideas and images and meaning are not Truth. For IN that Moment, Moment to Moment, without our conditioned notions projected into/onto it is when we Realize Truth.

Indeed, you have no doubt found a way to convert a mistake into success. For what is a mistake other than a way to Learn. It is a way for us to say "I Learned something". If we do not embrace the Fire, we will only *survive* Life. When we embrace the Fire, and get burnt a few times, we then *Live* Life.

Our Direct Experiences AS they ARE without us projecting our conditioned notions into/onto them IS Awakening -- which, I would say, is the ultimate in True Success. Is it not our conditioned notions that establish an experience to be a failure or a success ? So by discarding the conditioned notions, would not all Direct Experiences be a success without any failures ? Life is to Live, Life is to BE, whatever that Life IS -- if this be done Moment to Moment, THIS is success. Is not whether we *like* the experience or not simply our conditioned notions again degrading our experiences ? You see, The Grand Trickster would have you live life as he see it and not AS it IS. So if we live life as The Grand Trickster sees it, then indeed all experiences are failures. On the other hand, if we Live Life AS it IS then ALL experiences are True Successes.

True, there can only be failure IF we live life as The Grand Trickster the conditioned mind would have us live it. Living Life AS it IS makes failure quite nonexistent. Life IS Eternal. ON this Path Effort never goes to waste, and there is never failure.

Indeed, the Grand Trickster the conditioned mind is always committed to keeping people Sleeping in the Dream-Land of Illusion. Which would be easy to transcend if it were not that these conditioned notions are entered subliminally and likewise reacted upon subliminally (subconsciously). These conditioned notions control and manipulate our thinking and behavior and must be discarded if we are to Dwell IN the Moment, Moment to Moment. We must BE who we ARE, and surrender to nothing, for surrender is control and manipulation. Whether we surrender to that which is Within or that which is outside us, it is still control and manipulation of us. YOU direct YOU, BE YOU, and let the rest of the seen and unseen realm BE as it IS.

Our Dark Night, our Dark conditioned self, is but little more than The Grand Trickster's Veil covering our Realizing and Recognizing our Awakening. Knowing others is Intelligence, Knowing yourself is True Wisdom, Mastering others is Strength, Mastering yourself is True Power. We have but one Real challenge to face, which is letting go of the Causes of our Suffering. And it will be the greatest undertaking, the greatest challenge, the greatest struggle, the greatest battle, that we will ever have to face. So great, that few undertake it. It is the letting go or discarding of our conditioned images and ideas and meanings -- they are the Causes of our Ills.

If the mind is conditioned, indeed the change from one conditioned notion to another would I am sure be a happy experience -- yet we still have our conditioned notions so our experience is but the Illusion of happiness and not True happiness at all. So our task is to change the fact that we harbor conditioned notions to not harboring conditioned notions. THAT IS Happiness.

Our pledge to ourself: I AM the Work, I AM the Journey. It is not possible not to enjoy What-IS. It is when we try to enjoy What-IS-NOT that we fool ourselves into thinking that we do.

I would say that there is nothing wrong with good old fashioned *positive thinking reading*. But a girl by the name of Helena P. Blavatsky once said "study some, meditate much on what you have studied, and discard that which does not fit with the inner contemplations". Assuming of course, that we have already discarded our various conditioned notions of what is positive and what is not.

May I offer that ALL Direct Experiences are of great worth to us, for it is in the True Open Honest Observation of those Experiences that we come to "know thyself". The present instant Moment IS, and is established by what we do the previous Moment. And so, what the next Moment will BE is established by what we do NOW. So you see, we establish what is "meant to be", not a predestination sat up by some imagined *higher power* to teach us some imagined lesson. Conditioned, Sleeping, we respond to the Direct Experience IN the Moment with conditioned notions and so what is "meant to be" is also of that same conditioned nature. A *Vicious Circle of Blindness*. Awakening, not conditioned, we respond to the Moment as it IS without projecting our conditioned notions into/onto that Direct Experience and so what is "meant to be" IS What-IS -- IS Reality, IS Truth.

Likewise, the imagined *inner guide* is also part of our conditioned notions *to be Saved*. But no one Saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may, others can Point to The Path, but we ourselves must Walk The Way. Be concerned more with True Open Honest Observation of what has transpired. For it is in these Observations of our conditionings and the control and manipulative affect they have on us that we must See and therefore discard.

Is it not time for you to BE your own Guru ? Be thankful for all that others offer, but in the final analysis it is just an offering and can not be Realized until you yourself have Directly Experienced it. BE Open, BE Honest, BE Mindful, and you will Recognize everything you Need, including a Teacher. You see, YOU are that so called *higher power* that you seek. You are mounting a horse and riding a horse in search for a horse. A dog chasing it's own tail. You will never find that which you seek, for you are always look where it is not. The dualistic notion that your answers are outside of yourself is a fatalistic conditioned notion. No one Saves us but ourselves. What you seek is Within, but first you must remove the Veils that hide those answers from you. Those Veils are the Causes of our Suffering, the Causes of our Blindness.

To "move our total self" would simply place "our total self" in a different location, and would not change our conditioned perception. In order for the Observer and the Observed to BE as one, one must discard the conditioned perception of both the observer and the observed. In fact, we can not Truly Observe while still conditioned. It is the conditioned notions that you want to move -- move from your thinking.

All that is offered is from Direct Experience. Yet it is YOUR Observations YOURSELF of YOU and YOUR Direct Experiences that are of worth to YOU, not mine. You can not experience my experience any more than I can experience your experience. WE are the only ones who can experience OUR experiences. For WE are the only ones who can BE our experiences. But before we can do that, we must get rid of the Causes of our Suffering. I could tell you that I jumped in a lake, and you can only imagine what it is like to jump in a lake -- yet Truth is not Realized in our imagination, but rather our Direct Experience of it. Because the mind thinks, because the mind relates, because the mind imagines, we can not Directly Experience anything. Only when the mind is Still where there was once ideas, only when the mind is Void where there once was images, only when the mind is Awakening where there was once conditioned meanings, will we Realize Truth and Reality and True Direct Experience without projecting our own conditioned notions into/onto the Experience.

There is no need to speak of god, or religion's conditioned notions of such. Speak more of the Moment and our response IN that Moment. That we are Sleeping and guided by our conditioned projections at a given Moment or we are Awakening and are Guided by the Moment. We do not draw upon conditioned notions or memories or fears or whatever, we respond IN the Moment AS it IS -- which means that it is not "our will be done" but rather BEing IN the Moment and responding accordingly. A *compliment* "of" the Moment and not a reaction "in" it. Indeed, we are all seemingly *Creators* of our own seeming *Reality* -- the world is built on it. Being seemingly "of" the world, we can seemingly *create* about any seeming *reality* we seemingly *choose*. Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! For we are dead who Slumbers, and things are not what they seem.

For Truth IS and Fact IS, though Truth can not be harbored or gained or given or found or received but can only BE Realized IN the Moment by Direct Experience. Truth is ever anew each Moment, as each Moment is anew, yet never changing and Eternal. It can not be put on paper with words. It is the absence of all that is false. When you see all that is false, only the Truth remains.

Truth is definitely based solely upon our Direct Experience of Truth, but is not relative to anything other than Awakening so that Truth can be Directly Experienced. Conditioned thinking is relative but Truth is not. Truth simply IS, AS it IS, all by itself without our particular conditioned notions projected into/onto it.

May I offer that "inclinations" are actually our *conditioned thinking*, and not inborn at all. We are products of our environment, social, family, peer group, profession, contacts in general. And we are very much controlled and manipulated by these conditioned notions. Indeed, however, the Inner Realm, the Final Frontier, does seem obscure and existential before we embrace that Realm. And we seem to postpone the inevitable until it is to late, or we are to far removed, to Truly embrace it without our conditioned security blanket. We cling to such impermanence as though it were all there is. Yet, all that is seen is not all that can be gotten -- what you see is less than what you can get. There is a Greener Pasture, a permanence that can be Realized, but we will not Recognize it with our five senses. And we can not Recognize it looking through conditioned glasses.
