Clean The Clutter

We not only have desires but we also cling to them as a security blanket. We cling to hem because of their instant or short term pleasure. Which, we fail to Recognize, does not end them but rather sets up a continuum of their steady flow. We are not satisfied with our present lot, whatever that may be, and so a certain *thirst* is established -- which generally solidifies into greed and selfishness. This thirst is the power behind the continuous desire of this or that and the desire to get rid of this or that. And so it is a vicious circle of grasping and clinging -- grasping for that which we desire and clinging to the notion that it will satisfy this thirst. Obviously it never does. And as the tiger chases it's tail all we get are Sambo's pancakes.

So why do we crave anything ? Why is there this thirst to see or hear or taste or touch or have anything ? Beyond, of course, the basic instinctual needs of survival (food, shelter, protection from the elements). This is *motive* or *intent*. *Why* ? Pear pressure, authority demands, acceptance, reward, etc ? Being cleaver as we are, we learn quickly how to satisfy these thirsts even though the satisfaction is but a flash in the pan. So we live from flash to flash, to keep up with our pears and comply with authority and be accepted and get rewards. And since we know that it works on us we in turn use it on others -- to perhaps, in some sadistic way, balance the control and manipulation we suffer. A vicious circle of everyone controlling and manipulating each other. An ever self-perpetuating game. The Game of Life.

So indeed desire or craving is the Cause of our Suffering, but the Cause of the Cause is our clever control and manipulation of our environment for our own selfish intent or motive. We continuously condition each other and continuously reinforce our own conditionings (better known as habits). So we habitually live our lives showing others how life is lived. What vile creature we make of our little new born Gurus. Most never get the chance to understand this and so they continue passing the torch on to their offspring. The Grand Trickster's torch must be extinguished. Hence, let go of the conditioned ideas and images and meanings and notions of all sorts. Get a BIG dumpster.

Our cravings are very deeply rooted, and the roots are very entangled in every aspect of our life. Nothing is addictive unless the body depends on it for it's survival, and most of those situations are completely mental convictions (mind over matter). Not all, but most. For when one can tell himself that he just had his last drink or put out his last cigarette (so called addictions), and walk away with no regrets never to partake in them again, it is obvious that most are just a conditioned habit. So many so called addictions die because we let go of our conditioned notions, just as our cravings die as we let go of our conditioned notions -- the Cause of the Cause of our Suffering.

The nature of a perspective is that the further the distance the smaller the object, as the closer the distance the larger the object. And the closer one gets to the object the more reduced the perspective to the point that when too fixed on the object there is no perspective. Likewise, when too fixed on the perspective all is reduced to the perspective. Is not our perspective little more than our projected conditioned ideas and images and meanings and notions of all sorts into/onto that which we perceive ? So do we not view the world through the limitations of our perspective ? Which end of the binoculars do we view anything ? So I would liken our perspective or world view to our looking through binoculars. Yet without the binoculars, without the perspective, without our conditioned notions, we get a bird's eye panoramic view.

We can not Save or create or change or even better the world until we have Saved ourself. No one Saves us but ourself, no one can and no one may, others can Point to the Path, but we ourself must Walk the Way. And no religion nor organization nor theory nor conceptualization nor intellectualization nor rationalization nor any belief in this or that will get anyone anywhere other than where they are -- blind programmed conditioned controlled manipulated automatons. Indeed, personality or ego or any conditioned mental contrivances are nothing more than security blankets to protect us from that which we do not understand. So why understand it ? What is there to understand ? And who is it who understands whatever it is to understand ? So if the world is to be Saved, we must start with our own Salvation. And how we Save ourself is to Free ourself of the very mental Chains that imprison us -- our conditioned notions -- the Causes of our Suffering.

One who is Enlightened can do nothing, for Enlightened there is nothing to do nor anyone to do it. Enlightened is a verb, and not a noun. Enlightened is not an attainment but rather an attaining, not a goal but rather a continuous Unfolding Awakening to the Reality and Truth of What-IS. For What-IS, AS it IS, Moment to Moment, is not within the realm of perspective or any other mental gymnastics. For you see, IN/AS the Moment, nothing is volitional other than our projected conditioned notions. When we let go of the conditioned notions of this and that we Realize that whatever IS in any given Moment is anew and fresh and must be embraced as such so that we can enjoy the Moment AS it IS and not as we were conditioned to *think* it is (our perspective). Has it not been said that we must be a Lamp unto ourself ?

Revenge is to Live Life AS it IS and embrace it with the True Nature of Compassion that we ARE. This indeed would be a certain revenge on the Sleeping world, for us to Free ourself or Save ourself by Awakening. And we can not do that harboring a certain perspective or any conditioned notion for that matter. There are no victims as there are no victimizers, yet we remain victims and victimizers when we stay Sleeping and do not Wake-Up from the Illusions of our conditioned notions.

I would say, it is not a Pointer only for those at The End Of The Rope yet I would also say that it is not a "Teaching". It is a Pointer to those who Truly Seek to "know thyself", and a reminder for those who already do have the Eyes to See and the Ears to Hear. I say Pointer rather than "teaching" because no one Saves us but ourself, no one can and no one may, others can Point to the Path, but we ourself must Walk the Way. That is, do not be beguiled by the finger but rather focus Attention in the direction of the seeming unknown where the finger Points.

Your answers are in your questions, for your questions must be asked of yourself. No one else has answers for your questions, for their answers are to questions that they asked of themselves. Siddhartha once said "Believe nothing ! Belief is a confession of ignorance ! Therefore do not even believe what even I tell you ! All I can do is to teach you to enlighten yourselves. Your first duty is to abolish your ignorance, and only you yourselves can do this." The words of Wisdom of others are but Pointers to the Path we ourself must Walk to Realize the Truth and Reality of any words of Wisdom. Otherwise we are but controlled manipulated programmed conditioned automatons being lead about at the end of a chain.

When we seek such answers outside ourself we only find our own projected conditioned ideas and images and meanings and notions of all sorts, yet when we seek Within we Understand who we are not. It is only in Understanding who we are not that we Realize the True Nature that we ARE. And it is only in Realizing this, then BEing our True Nature, that we can Directly Experience Truth and Reality or What-IS. That is, Directly Experience What-IS each anew Moment from Moment to Moment. For there is no Truth nor Reality anywhere else other than IN/AS the present instant Moment.

That for which we seek will always elude us, for Truth and Reality can not be found nor can it be gained nor held nor possessed nor even given. Truth and Reality can only be Realized AS IS, and will not be witness of our projected ideas or images or meanings. It can not even be explained, for that which we label is not that which IS. Labels are but Pointers to What-IS. The finger is an amazing tool for Pointing to where we can See Truth and Reality, yet when we put the finger on our Eye we are then Blind.

Who is Master ? Master of what ? Can we Master anything other than ourself ? Do we Master ourself or does the Grand Trickster (conditioned thinking and behavior) Master us ? When we can Master ourself, when we can Truly know ourself, when we can Understand our True Nature, when we can Realize Truth and Reality in What-IS AS it IS, when we can be a Lamp unto ourself, when we can endure the Pain and struggle with letting go of our dearly beloved conditioned notions, THEN we ARE our Master. When we ARE the Light of Awakening, we no longer seek that which this Light reflects upon or the reflection that such a Light casts. For before we let go of our conditioned notions we worship/follow/believe that which the Light shins on and are mesmerized by the mere reflection of that Light. We are beguiled by the reflection of the moon in a pond, which is not the moon. Further, we are beguiled by the moon and moonlight, though it's light is not it's own but a reflection of another Source Light. Yet when we ARE that Light, the two again meld to One. We enter the Kingdom of Awakening as we make the two again One, for there can BE only One.

Have not countries agreed to disagree with other countries and even groups within countries agree to disagree with other groups within that county ? And is there not still war and conflict and hatred and other such ills ? So would it not seem that agreeing to disagree can not actually work regardless of how it is actually done ?

Here is the crux of the dilemma, for when we establish *our* truth and *our* reality as Truth and Reality there can be no other modus operandi other than a *personal defense* of *our* truth and reality. When it is your's to have and to hold as your very own, you take it quite personally because it is *your's* and it is the only one that is *right*. Now when someone else feels the same way about *their* truth and reality, there is going to be a problem even though we agree to disagree. Take a look around at the world at large, and take a look at it's history -- there is a lot of agreeing and a lot of disagreeing and a lot of strife and a lot of Suffering.

The conditioning that I speak of is our conditioned notions of this and that or right and wrong or good and bad -- judgements based on our conditioned ideas and images and meanings. The conditioned notions that prevent us from Realizing our True Nature of Infinite Awareness and Understanding. Problem is that I have yet seen it succeed, as by it's nature it can not.

Not "one Truth that is clear and correct" but rather letting go of conditioned notions allows us to Realize Truth Clearly and Correctly. For Truth simply IS and has no particular stamps of individual approval as being this or that or your's or mine. Where there are any intentions, good or otherwise, Truth will not be Realized. For what is *good* or what is *otherwise* ? And who is to *judge* which is which ?

Is not "contradictory relative truths" the very foundation of war and conflict and hatred and Suffering ? Is not Freedom simply another word for nothing left to lose ? Such as losing our dearly beloved "relative truths" ?

Light is wave at the surface understanding yet particle at a deeper understanding. Not two sides but rather levels of the same side. Relative truth is not a surface understanding of actual Truth, but rather a totally different world. A revelation to be sure, as I was not Aware that duality could be anything other than duality or nonduality could be anything other than nonduality,

The only seeming change is solely with us. It is not a matter of conforming either everyday life or the deeper knowingness to either of them. More a matter of synergising the two. Neither are really compatible with the other but both quite meldable. Nor, I might add, should there be any real choices or coordinations or considerations of the two seemingly separate states. When we start Awakening that Awakening is emanated in every aspect of our life, so regardless of the job or schedule or whatever, whatever we do and wherever we go we simply ARE our True Nature of Awakening. Instead of doing or going Sleeping, we then do and go Awakening. If we have to make changes in the outer due to changes of the Inner, there is something wrong with the Inner changes (figuratively conceptually speaking).

I would clarify that Happiness and Suffering will remain Happiness and Suffering, it is our perspective that changes. That is, we See Happiness and Suffering in a far Clearer light. For actually our perspective does not really change either, but rather gets uncluttered by so many conditioned notions, and so our perspective is less distorted. We start to See Happiness and Suffering AS they ARE rather than the conditioned ideas that we projected onto them. So as our Awakening Unfolds so does our Understanding of Happiness and Suffering.

Not to the non-enjoyer and non-sufferer, but there still would be Happiness and Suffering. What-IS does not go away just because we *think* it so. We can not nihilate the fact that we enjoyed and suffered just by transcending it. So it is the Cause of this Happiness and Suffering that we must address. The Cause being that we cling to the happiness and suffering, enjoyer and sufferer, even though we no longer enjoy or suffer. So the non-enjoyer and the non-sufferer are but masks to hide our clinging. When we stop the clinging to either Happiness or Suffering is when neither are present for us. That is, letting go of the very conditioned notions that establish the Happiness and Suffering by letting go of the precious identity we refer to as our*self*.

One is not the other any more than one is dependent on the other. Dwell not on the resultant Happiness and Suffering, but rather on the root Cause of both -- which is our conditioned notions of them. When neither Happiness or Suffering are of concern then we can get past them. As long as we cling to either or both of them, identify ourselves with them, we will be them. That is not to suppress or deny, but rather to See them for the emotive reactions to situations that they are. For when we let go of both Happiness and Suffering, the resulting Peace I would liken to a new born right after consuming it's satisfactory fill of milk just before drifting off to slumber-land. No Happiness, no Suffering, just Ah.......

Science has measured Consciousness by the Fact that all manifested form (even the atom) is Conscious of all other manifested form. If it exists before it departs this physical form, it must exist afterwards also for Consciousness can not be destroyed. Consciousness can BE of a different state or form, but can not be destroyed. "In the beginning", in the initiation of this Cycle of existence as we know it, the Breath of Brahma, Consciousness was Operant and not yet manifested form as we know it. Consciousness not being static would evolve or build or excite to the point of manifesting form. Since the grosser the form the more susceptibility of degeneration, Consciousness is recycled but never again operant. Hitherto this particular Life Cycle of existence, that Life Cycle progressed much like this one. It is said that the orbiting moon of this planet is a reminder that we have been through this *before*.

Within given parameters, I suppose there could be contrived a beginning and an end -- though Consciousness IS very much Eternal and thereby very Beginningless and Endless as far as the likes of the feeble human form can discern. Until an apple fell from a tree onto Newton's head, then he Realized that he should Wake-Up. A good example of a manifested form (Newton) being Conscious of another manifested form (the apple that hit him on the head).

Sleeping, we are always angry, for our *poor little me* feelings are always getting hurt. So Sleeping, we conditioned to think that it is our inalienable right to be angry. Awakening, we are never angry, for we *respond* IN/AS every Moment AS it IS and not as we are conditioned to react to it. So Awakening, anger is a stranger to us and therefore we can not BE angry. "As a man thinketh, so is he".

Awakening, there is no *poor little me*, there is only embracing and responding to each and every Moment anew AS it IS and not how we are conditioned to react to it or be in conflict with it. Sleeping, we are always in conflict with others who Sleep. Awakening, conflict is a stranger to us so when conflict arises we respond with Compassion and Understanding. Fire Fighters have shown us that fighting fire with fire or gasoline is futile, that we must fight fire with water.

When we Silence the thoughts, when we peer Deeply into the Void, we Realize that nothing is "apart" from anything. That there is no True Self, that there is no Body, that there is no Mind, that there is only BEing, that there is only Hearing, that there is only Seeing, that there is only What-IS, that there is no conditioned projections to please the Grand Trickster, that there is not even the Grand Trickster.

As to the Grand Trickster your life you gave So too Devotion Awakening will Truly Save, Salvation is not in a gathering more to know Rather in conditioned notions that you let go. -- Yogajyotii

Conditioned we contrive the inheritance image Our god is our creator his creation our linage, So we receive the world as his only offspring Our's to have and hold and to name anything. -- Yogajyotii

As it is when we Sleep we can a glimpse catch They are few and far between an egg to hatch, In our world of make believe anything's for sure Except those little glimpses which do not endure. -- Yogajyotii
