Cut The Chains

Are we not all Buddhas/Christs, yet have been distracted by our conditioned notions so we do not Remember such ? Uncover the Light that we ARE by removing the bushel we are hiding it under, so that others may See as well. Let There BE Light -- Always In All Ways.

Many espouse their versions of Truth and Reality and so called Spirituality in opposition to others who espouse their versions of Truth and Reality and so called Spirituality. Raising their particular Icon to the pedestal of Godhood knocking the other's Icon off that pedestal. Belief systems pitted against belief systems. This is the breeding grounds of war and conflict and hate and greed and all of the Causes of our Suffering. And such rivalry gets vehemently more fearsome and more deadly as we fight for our place upon the pedestal. Siddhartha himself predicted that a day would have to come to pass that we would Realize that we must destroy the pedestal and discard the Icons and embrace each other as *people* and not at odds with each other as *belief systems* before we could Truly start Awakening. Did he also not say that if a Buddha was notice along the road to kill it ? Meaning, of course, to destroy all statues and icons of himself. Was not Siddhartha's simple message: "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 Sleeping are both optimistic and pessimistic, whereas those Awakening are Altruistic. There is no future as there is no past, for our only Reality is this very Moment NOW. Optimism for the Sleeping is mere wishful thinking, while Awakening we embrace What-IS rather than what we *hope* will be. Sleeping we thrive on chasing after our conditioned perception of enlightenment in the hopes that there is this to attain. Yet that which we chase will always elude us, as Awakening is not a goal but rather a state of BEing...... NOW.

Optimism should not prevent one from seeing dangers and defects, but it will prevent one from Seeing the Moment. For the Moment can not be seen, it can only be embraced and Directly Experienced.

But we must Recognize them in himself, for only in the Self-Observation of our own conditioned ideas and images and meanings can we See our own "wrong motives, or distorted intentions" and let them go. THIS is Awakening, and through Compassion and Empathy we can Help and Serve others in their Awakening.

Sleeping we train and program and condition to control and manipulate, and so we accept such training and programming and conditioning ourself. Awakening we can only Compassionately Help and Serve.

Sleeping we conduct ourselves as businessmen and *judge* whether the prize is worth the risk. Awakening we do what must be done AS the Moment, Understanding that we have no choice in the matter for it must be done. No risk, no chance, no concern as to outcome though we Understand the outcome, just BEing and DOing What-IS to BE and be DOne in the Moment from Moment to Moment.

The rationalizations of the Grand Trickster in contriving a "Spirituality of Materiality". Sleeping, everything is outside and around us. Awakening, everything is no-thing for All IS us. We are the bearers of our own Cross, we are the Sacrifice to be Crucified in our own Crucifixion, we are the Arisen as we Resurrect from the ashes of our own conditioned notions.

Sleeping we have co-workers in our business-place, whereas Awakening we offer Compassion and Empathy and Help and Service to all in need. We have no plan nor a goal, but rather the Self-Observation in the Mirror of Truth of the conditioned programmed controlled manipulated automatons we are and do what must be done to Free ourself from this Cause of our Suffering. That is not a goal, but rather a Reckoning with the Grand Trickster the conditioned mind.

That the reaction contains more of the conditioned part than the Awakening part ? This is fertile ground for Self-Observation, is it not ? These are some of the things we must Openly and Honestly Observe in our thinking and behavior, is it not ?

We would be further ahead to Realize and Understand to where and from where words come from. For the Sleeping will understand a given word one way and the Awakening will Understand it in a different way. Yet, bear in mind, that though the Awakening Understand a given word from the vantage point of Awakening they also Understand the word as it is understood in the Sleeping realm for they were once there. So please do not fear words here, but rather look beyond the normal Sleeping understanding of them and look to where they Point.

Each and every Aha adds up to continued Awakening, does it not ?

Do not be sad because you Remember where you WERE, for it is in the Understanding of where we were that makes us Realize where we ARE. Be joyful that you Understand the conditioned programmed controlled manipulated automaton that you WERE in retrospect, instead of What-IS now. For being a conditioned programmed controlled manipulated automaton NOW, you would not be able to Understand What-IS or What-WAS. Do not dwell AS What-WAS, dwell AS What-IS. For What-IS, NOW, is all there really IS.

Ah, indeed, the Sleeping world uses such weapons and they are as deadly at times as the nuclear warheads (so to speak). But the language is not really fixable, rather, we must Understand the use of language by ourself as well as others. Language is but a tool we use to endeavor to communicate with others. In the Sleeping world it is easily Understood what is meant by given words, but may I offer that here if the Understanding of words or language is uncertain to ask for further explanation or definition. This is Communication, this is Bridging the gap between Knowing and Knowing-Not the various uses of words.

The very fact that we are trying to start Awakening in a Sleeping world puts us in a domain that is judged quite severely by the Sleeping World. I am afraid that it comes with the territory. When we are in the world but not of the world, expect to be condemned and judged.

The Self-Reckoning of Awakening.

Indeed judgment is our destruction, so do not judge yourself any more than you want others to judge you. Awakening, we Realize our defilements and conditioned notions that Veil our Awakening, we then kick ourself in the butt, and do whatever has to be done to rectify the condition. And go about our business of Awakening. Aha by Aha, kick by kick, Moment by Moment, we continually Unfold our Awakening. May I offer not to get hung up on what has been, but rather BE What-IS.

Sleeping we judge, Awakening we Recognize and Understand. And there is a vast difference between the two. This aversion of given words is no more than the past you are clinging to. When you let the past go, these words will not hold such pain for you.

Recognized, yes, but not clung to as a self-pity or self-judgement or self-condemnation. Hell is the Hell that we contrive for ourself. To transcend this Illusion of our own self-made Hell we must let it go.

If you want to learn to jump like a frog go talk to a frog, if you want to learn how to Sleep talk to the Sleeping, if you want to learn how to start Awakening go talk to those Awakening. And Listen to whoever it is you want to learn something from.

Yes, gathering Vital Information is important, but the next step is to BE that Vital Information. Of course the first step in BEing that Vital Information is to let go of the conditioned notions that stand in the way of our BEing that Vital Information. Perhaps the stumbling block to BEing that Vital Information is that you have not yet actually let go of the conditioned notions necessary to Walk the Walk.

But, today, this Moment, is the first day, the first Moment, of the rest of your life -- how can it not BE Wonderful ? 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. Your Savior is not *out there*.

Upon letting go of enough conditioned notions that Veil your Awakening, you WILL Remember.

What is there to be afraid of ? The ONLY Moment that is Real is the very instant present Moment that you are in right NOW. BE who your ARE, and BE What-IS right NOW, and whatever the next Moment offers will be TOTALLY new so there can be nothing to fear. You are projecting into the future (which is not Real yet). That is, you are arraigning your Suffering of the Moment to come..... while Suffering in the Present because of memories of the Past (which are also not Real). Dwell not in the Past and Dwell not in the Future and Dwell only AS the Present Moment -- and All will be Real and without fear.

All True Scriptures, bar none, were written such that the profane, those not Awakening, those Sleeping, could not Truly Understand them. And all True Scriptures, somewhere within that Scripture tells us that. Yet, conditioned to *think* that we are Awakening, we read and interpret them. And alas, there is much confusion and argument and non-understanding. Would it not behoove us then, if we feel that these are True Scriptures, that we Listen to at least the statement that they all make about them not being written for the un-Awakening ? That is, a True Scripture can not be Truly Understood until we let go of our conditioned notions and start Awakening. A True Scripture is a useless text UNTIL we start Awakening. So I would say, as all the True Scriptures say, Awakening is the first and foremost step in Understanding a True Scripture.

As we Walk along the Path we are beguiled by the Wonders of Awakening, and a certain self-confidence is built by our steady pace. Not being Mindful, we stumble in the many ruts that are always in our Way. "You idiot", we say to ourselves, "you did not see that conditioned notion right there under your nose ?" We push our face up from the ground and look around, and indeed other Journeymen on the Path look on. "You fool", we say to ourselves, "you are a failure in the eyes of others". But if the onlookers are Truly on the Path, they will extend a Helping Hand to pick you up and dust you off. For they too have stumbled in that same rut as you did. Us average sentient humans have no birth as a Dalai Lama, we have to fight the battle that Arjuna had to fight to gain his Freedom, his Liberation, his Awakening. A battle that few come away unscathed.

Now IS the Moment. For is not a question an activity of thought ? And does not thought prohibit attention to the Moment ? Therefore does not the very question reveal that we are not AS the Moment ? AS the Moment we would not question, we would embrace the Moment and all that the Direct Experience of that Moment has in store for us. A newness and freshness in each passing Moment. Since there can not be questions AS the Moment, there is no need of answers. When we respond to whatever is experienced AS the Moment, the seeming questions are already answered. When the mind is Silent, Void of thoughts, the Clarity of our Observations are such that we Recognize the answer before we ask the question. So it is in letting go of the question that we Realize the answer. So the statement should be "Now !" rather than "Now what ?"

It is indeed the answer for most of our ills. But it is not a matter of actual "non-thinking", but rather a matter of not being controlled and manipulated by our thinking by thinking before we experience. There is a certain anticipation an instant before the experience that allows thoughts to be projected into the next Moment's experience. For as we embrace the Moment, we are going to have to call upon thinking to respond to whatever is AS the Moment. The difference is WHEN we allow thoughts to arise. When thoughts arise before an experience, during the anticipation of the experience, we are projecting those thoughts into/onto whatever we experience tainting the experience with conditioned notions. When we call upon thoughts during the experience, once we have embraced the experience, thought is a tool and nothing more. It is a matter of understanding the whole process of thinking, of how and when and why thoughts arise, and adjusting the way we have been conditioned to let them arise.

Oh yes, there is indeed a slowly but surely Transmutation from Sleeping to Awakening. Aha by Aha. When we are fully Sleeping, Awakening is but a dream. When we are Awakening, we are always rubbing Sleep from our Eyes. Yes, when talked about Awakening and Sleeping it might seem that Awakening is a clear cut demarcation for Sleeping. And though at first it seem to be a major and even complete change from black to white like crossing over a line from night to dayLight, Awakening is a continuous Unfolding of one's actual BEing. So please do not be misled by my seeming portrayal of *either or*, for Sleeping is Sleeping but Awakening is a full continuous Life of Unfolding Wonders. Everything gets clearer and clearer and clearer.

The further we Unfold our Awakening the less hold our conditioned personality self or ego self has on us. That is, the less it controls and manipulates our thinking and behavior. But there is no such varmint as a non-conditioned personality or ego -- that is the Sleep that we continually rub from our Eyes as we continue our Awakening.

All of the original remains in tact, simply shrouded or covered up by the conditionings we harbor. And naturally, as a seed we have planted beneath the earth always struggle to push forth toward the Light, our natural BEing of Awakening is always pushing forth to be Recognized and Blossom. A coexistence of a sorts, though not really "one part good and another bad". Rather the existence of Awakening urging to let go of the acquired conditioned baggage. The more baggage we have to let go of, the more difficult the struggle. And if there is too much baggage, we can not Recognize Awakening's urgings. So actually the *struggle* or *battle* is more like when you touch a glue strip and it sticks to your hand and you vigorously shake your hand to get the glue strip from sticking to your hand.

A "conditioned mind" can not come up with What-IS, but rather what it *thinks* What-IS is. What-IS can only be Recognized when Awakening and removing the control and manipulation of the "conditioned mind". And What-IS is Recognize as our Awakening Unfolds so this Recognition is also a gradual Aha by Aha.

The Grand Trickster exists in the self imposed conditioned reality of our mind, as does the reality we project. We give the Grand Trickster impetus as we give our own perception of reality impetus. So it does not actually "have a will of it's own" but rather controls and manipulates our will, seeming that it has "a will of it's own".

Duality is simply the nature of conditioned thinking. We do not "fall into conditioning", we contrive it and use it to control and manipulate others. So Sleeping is a joint consent of everyone controlling and manipulating everyone else. And we have grown so accustom to this joint consent that we are convinced that it simply is What-IS.

In our need for the acquisition of empirical data, much theorization will abound -- some quite intelligent and some not. Yet theories are like butts, everyone has one that dispenses much released hot air and what they are actually used best for is to sit on. If we get hung up on *when* Wisdom is offered, we lose sight of *what* Wisdom is offered. It is good information to have at one's disposal, but useless relative to one's Awakening. There is but One Reality, and it is here right NOW this very instant Moment. And Wisdom is only of use AS Reality, the Reality AS the Moment, Moment to Moment. So I would say that the Wiser use of Wisdom is to use it rather than speculate on when it was actually offered. For such a *time-line* of Wisdom offered leads to no verification that it is indeed Wisdom -- that, it verifies itself to those Truly Awakening.

Since it is well known that some of the Hindu Scriptures in India were *written* 10,000+ years ago, is it odd that Egypt would not fall in a like time-frame ? It was over 120,000 years ago that those from what you call the Golden Age started their migration to various parts of the globe. Is it any wonder that their Wisdom shows up in various places around the globe ? But obviously, the *dating system* used by modern man is still quite lacking.

The Grand Trickster "entertains", Awakening we Dwell AS the Moment of What-IS AS it IS. To bend to our conditioned ways would keep us from Directly Experiencing whatever that Moment IS. It is mere dualism to think that "life and awareness" are separate, for Life IS Awareness and Awareness IS Life. And how could such Awakening be "opposed" to "minerals" ? For all manifested form IS Life and Awareness ? Ask "minerals" and they will readily attest to the Fact that "minerals" are just as much Life and Awareness as any other form (human in this case). Though indeed, it is hard to distinguish many humans form rocks. But "nonlife" ? A term invented by the Grand Trickster to trick us into thinking that there is no Unity in the apparent Diversity of manifested Form. At the most subtle Observations, all manifested form is One, and therefore Life and Awareness.

And what does "awareness" do to bring about Enlightenment ? For all of us would like to "become enlightened" ! But for the fish to discover water, the fish would have to "consider" itself separate from the water -- yet could there be fish without water ? When the fish Realizes that it IS water (a mere diversity of Unity), then the fish would not "consider" the duality of separation.

Meditation is a wonderful tool for Silencing the mind, or has been said 'annihilation of the mind'. Meditation is not the training of the mind, but rather is simply cessation of the mind. Once we have established the meditative state of mind, that is the state beyond mind, we emanate that state of BEing into every aspect of our lives. When we are no longer controlled and manipulated by the mind, we can embrace What-IS and Dwell AS the Moment from Moment to Moment.
