Invention's Mother
Our assumption is that
ego is a an actual, independent, intelligent entity, a being unto itself,
yet it is nothing more than a mask we wear to portray our seeming importance
-- to others as well as ourself. The ego being of our own device, has no
power to observe unselfish/selfish, compassionate/uncaring, fearless/fearful
or anything else. Ego is but a mask that portrays our conditioned notions.
That being the case, Truly BEing "unselfish, compassionate and fearless"
bypasses selfishness and uncaring and fear and transcends mere ego. We
give ego impetus, so when we stop giving ego energy and power over us,
ego is no more. Ego thrives on self-importance, so when we acknowledge
that all is more important than ourself, ego has no life and no control
and manipulation over us. WE created the monster, so WE have to let it
go. No one Saves us but ourself, no one can and no one may, others may
Point to the Path, but we ourself must Walk the Way.
To choose or to judge
are different words cut out of the same bolt of cloth. One can not be rationalized
by calling it something else. The label may change but the result is the
same. In this recognition, why is a choice needed ? Since there is but
one course of action to be taken, what is to choose between ? Awakening,
when we Recognize the route of Awakening we do not choose whether or not
to take that route, we simply take that route. We actually have no choice
in the matter. Starving and hungry, seeing a plate of nutrisious food and
a plate of crap, do we choose which one to eat ? Convincing ourself that
we have some dominion above the rest of manifested form, that we have some
power to make choices, is the stuff that war and conflict is made of. The
Path of Truth, the Way of Awakening, is a choiceless Path. Did Jesus or
Siddhartha choose to Serve humanity ? Or did they simply Recognize what
had to be done, and simply did it ?
Instinct has nothing
to do with Awakening. Awakening is the Realization of What-ISNOT, therefore
making What-IS quite Clear. Letting go of our conditioned ideas and images
and meanings to unveil Truth. Instinct is an autonomic reaction, whereas
Awakening is a thought-less choice-less response to What-IS. In that space
between thoughts, when we Realize the answer IS the question, there is
*Aha !*. As stated some time ago, in anxiety or tension or stress is the
perfect opportunity to redirect that flow of energy from outward reactions
to inward working on ourself. As you have seen, sometimes a shock or whack
is need to bring our focus back to the Moment -- which is our only Reality
anyway. BEing What-IS instead of projecting our conditioned notions into/onto
what we *think* IS.
YOU own nothing -- a
vagrant in this impermanent realm. YOU are your body, how can you possess
yourself ? How can yourself be a vehicle of yourself ? You will not catch
the tail that you chase. Dualistically, you can -- but dualism is a conditioned
fallacy, an Illusion. Sleeping, we are always two steps ahead of and a
step behind.......... ourself. Awakening, we ARE ourself. There are many
aspects of us, a couple of which is the mind and the body. But no aspect
is separate from us or separate from each other. All aspects ARE us. The
Grand Trickster complicates our lives to no end. It is really not complicated:
*We R Us* -- quite simple.
Indeed, fear can accompany
anxiety as anxiety can accompany fear though one is not the other. By realizing
the difference between the two, perhaps one or the other or both can be
eliminated. Indeed, time is money in most business and we are faced with
being bound to it if we are involved with such business. In such business,
doing the best that can be done (not merely the best that we can do) is
surely worthy of eliminating fear. Surely those we are accountable to in
such business recognize the difference between the best that we can do
and the best that can be done. In such business, doing the best that can
be done (not merely the best that we can do) is surely worthy of eliminating
anxiety. Surely those we are accountable to in such business recognize
the difference between the best that we can do and the best that can be
done. Yet nothing, not even life itself, is worthy of the destruction of
our Peace of Mind.
May I offer: embrace
the work-day with no fear of losing the job and no anxiety of a time limit,
and do the best that can be done (as quickly as it can be done). Just as
an experiment, try it one day and see what results. I am not talking of
an attitude of not caring, but rather an attitude of doing the best that
can be done as quickly as it can be done without fear or anxiety. A self-imposed
challenge to yourself, as it were.
Awakening, there is no
concepts of human rights or anything else. Awakening, we humans ARE as
Life IS -- we simply co-exist in a Unity of diversity. Sleeping: "I
have these rights, and you can not violate them -- Yes, you have those
rights and I will not violate them". Awakening: All for one and one
for All -- no rights, just Compassion one for the other. Slavery is possible
only when you think one can be enslaved. The foolish dualistic notion of
possession again. When one thinks that he can possess, then he can be possessed.
When one profits by the degradation of another, one's profit will be invested
and spent in Hell. But slavery is not limited to the days of old, for there
are more slaves today than there was then. People are slaves to that which
they possess.
What are you a slave
to ? Think about it. What chains you ? What binds you ? What controls and
manipulates your thinking and behavior ? THAT is slavery. What are you
forced to do ? Whether it be an overseer or slave-master or the Grand Trickster,
Sleeping we are forced to think and behave as we are conditioned. We delude
ourselves in thinking that we are not forced or that we are not enslaved
by our own conditioned notions.
Your statements are taken
right out of the pages of the instruction/repair/installation manual of
the Grand Trickster. Be advised that it is a hard program to un-install.
You may have to re-format your hard drive and re-install a whole new operating
system -- at least a new operating platform.
You ARE the unseen Power
of Higher Intelligence. You ARE Creation. "As Above So Below".
You are a miniature replica, as all manifested form is, of all manifested
form. The manifested realm proceeds quite Naturally and needs no Unseen
Tender, nor an Unseen Creator. As the Natural Evolution/Involution of Consciousness
proceeded, manifested form started manifesting. No one started it and no
one looks after it and no one *chooses* to *give* it anything. Manifested
form IS and it is doing what it does, and has nothing to do with some unseen
*other*. There can be none other than What-IS. The dualistic notion of
finding God outside or apart from ourselves is an unfounded concept --
a conditioned unfounded concept.
Again, manifested form
proceeds quite Naturally mutating as adjustments (corrections) relative
to it's medium (environment) and it's evolution/involution as it experiences
proceeding. It does it all by itself, for nothing is available to help
it. As it accumulates experience, it is better adapted to adjusting. As
manifested form is a Natural proceeding, so too is it's adjusting. When
we can Realize, as Sir Blake has pointed out, 'the Wisdom of the Cosmos
in a single grain of sand' we transcend the need for some external so called
*Higher Power* to guide or tend manifested form.
Freedom can not be *given*
for Freedom can not be *taken*, as Freedom is a state of BEing rather than
a *gift* from some unseen authority. Religious organizations go to war
because they *think* that their god gave them more freedom or a higher
freedom than the next religious organization's god gave them. Do you see
the folly in this ?
Ah -- "Hurrah for
our side, and to bad for the rest". Is this not a re-run of the Crusades
? There is no judgment in the proceeding of manifested form -- it simply
does what must be done, doing what it does. WE, as Sleeping humanity, may
*judge* such concepts as *correctness* or *erroneous* but usually has nothing
to do with Truth or Reality or What-IS. Manifested form mutates itself
to survive based on the environment it finds itself in (What-IS) and it's
state of Evolution/Involution, and not based on some concept of right and
wrong or correct and incorrect.
Nature (manifested form),
simply does what it does. That is, manifested form is being manifested
form, and does not have a hidden agenda guided by some unseen Higher Power
to thwart the perpetuation of the ills that humanity has created for itself.
If indeed a Higher Power wanted humanity to *straighten up a fly right*,
I would say that this Higher Power would simply swat humanity on the back
of the head and say WAKE-UP instead of having another aspect of manifested
form be the fall-guy in a rude awakening for humanity. Earth changes are
simply Earth changing, and I would say that Earth is not considering what
effects it's changes are going to have on any other aspect of manifested
form. I would say that it is a display of humanity's arrogance to think
that the Earth changes are "God's will for the purpose of cleansing
or correcting humanity".
But the Antediluvians
did survive the Earth changes in their time. Is it thought that the humanity
of twenty hundred thousand years ago was different than the humanity of
today ? We all change day by day and Moment to Moment, but the humanity
(Antediluvians) of yore IS the same humanity of today. Perhaps less Evolved/Involved,
but the same manifested form that we today call humanity. When the Atlantian
continent became the ocean floor humanity did not end and some ameba sprout
up somewhere else to evolve into the humanity we today belong to. Humanity
simply went with the flow of the Earth changes in Antediluvian times and
relocated to continue. Anthropology would have us *believe* that humanity
*started* LESS than a scant hundred thousand years ago. Which would eliminate
the possibility of Atlantis and Lemuria, for those quite advanced civilizations
thrived some ten hundred thousand and fifty hundred thousand years ago.
Anthropology does update it's dating system regularly because they realize
that they are guessing, at best, based on limited understanding -- conditioned
limited understanding. Yes, our ancestors go back further than our family
tree.
To Observe the Jump of
the Legless Frog or the Flight of the Wingless Dove or the Cosmos in a
Grain of Sand or Hear the Words that the Flower speaks to us IS the Sound
AS the Silence or the Information AS the Void or the BEing As we ARE. To
be Open and Honest, projecting no conditioned ideas and images and meanings
into/onto the Direct Experience of our unconditioned state, IS Awakening.
When we project nothing of ourselves into/onto the Moment, and embrace
the Moment AS it IS, anew, afresh, and Flow with and in and as that Moment,
BEing that Moment, Jumping Legless Frogs abound. A Pointer for sure, but
we can not Observe this Wonder as we Sleep. For we can not Walk the Walk
or Dance the Dance of Awakening, Sleeping.
Awakening is quite simple
-- in fact, Awakening IS Nothing (No-thing). So obviously only simple mathematics
Points to it. We make things complex ourselves by gathering much baggage
that we carry about wherever we go. Trying to keep track of all of our
acquired baggage gets to be a consuming task. When we Realize that all
of this baggage is a major burden, and we start discarding the various
article of baggage, we Realize that the less baggage we carry about with
us the Freer we ARE. Then there comes a time when we have let go of the
last of the articles of our baggage and find that we are so light-footed
that we Dance the Cosmic Dance of Awakening. And we look with puzzlement
at the passersby who struggle to carry their heavy load of baggage -- as
they look at us in puzzlement as to how anyone could Dance. Unbeknownst
to them, it is the lack of baggage that offers us the Sweet Freedom to
Dance the Cosmic Dance.
Emotion is the seat of
much upheaval in the world. Compassion on the other hand, is it's Salvation.
And it is our job to Truly Understand the difference -- to subdue the Emotions
and enhance the Compassion. But this is a critical time in the Cycle of
manifested form for man's opportunities to start Awakening are becoming
more and more limited as we plunge deeper and deeper into this present
Dark Age (Kali Yuga).
See Wonders unbeknownst
before -- you must See the Wonder of YOU. There is but One Miracle in all
of manifested form, and that Miracle is YOU. The Mirror of Truth is for
you to Truly See that Miracle. Of course looking into the Mirror of Truth
is not without Pain, for it reflect our flaws and Causes of our Suffering.
Oh yes, we can turn away from the Mirror of Truth and avoid the Pain but
we would miss the Dance -- the Cosmic Dance of Awakening to the Miracle
that we ARE.
Free what ? Nothing is
free when Sleeping, for we pay ourselves to the Grand Trickster. Freedom
is when we kick the Grand Trickster out. Before then, our so called will
is the will of the Grand Trickster -- which is enslavement by the Grand
Trickster. That is, we are a slave to our own conditioned mind. When we
kick the Grand Trickster out, we are guided by What-IS AS the Moment --
slaves to the Moment and What-IS, as it were. It is man's arrogance and
conditioned notion of his importance that makes him think that he has a
free will of his own. Do we see free will in Nature ? NO. All of Nature
IS what it IS and does what it does because it IS what it IS. All of Nature
IS and Flows with What-IS -- does what must be done AS the Moment. No judgement,
no choice, no options, just BEing What-IS. It is called Surrender -- "Thy
will and not my will be done". Assuming, of course, that 'Thy' is
not the Grand Trickster -- Sleeping, it is. 'Thy' IS What-IS AS the Moment,
from Moment to Moment. When we discard our conditioned notions we Realize
that there is no such thing as free will, for All will IS the will of What-IS.
So we simply BE that will, as we must BE What-IS. THAT, is Freedom. Freedom
form the Grand Trickster to Dance the Cosmic Dance of Awakening.
Does the body feel the
pain or itching ? There are sensors in the body that send messages to the
brain to let the brain know that there is something wrong, but does the
body actually Suffer ? Physiologically: The brain picks up the message
from the sensors and goes and check it out. Sure enough, a mosquito breached
the integrity of the body so the brain musters forces to combat the intrusion.
While the body's forces are hard at work to fight off invading infection
and mend the breached area, the brain sends a message back to the body
telling it that it (the brain) is discomforted about the breach in it's
(the body's) integrity so appease the mind by making motions of discomfort.
You see, it is the mind that pains not the body. It is the mind that Suffers
and not the body. How often have we heard the story of a person getting
a hand or arm or leg cut off and it not even bleeding until someone points
it out to the person of the infliction ? Only when the mind realizes that
there is such a breach in the body's integrity do we pain or suffer. So
when the mind is such that regardless of the breach in the body's integrity,
that there is no pain or suffering, there will be no pain or suffering.
Hence the saying 'it is all in your head'.
In a real sense we ARE
the body, so if we are pain and suffering the body will be pain and suffering.
Yet when we possess this body, and the mind and/or brain controls it, then
the dualistic notion itself fosters the notion that the body can pain and
suffer all on it's own. I am sure that you have heard the expression that
illness is psychosomatic -- much is psychosomatic, pain and suffering is
just such a varmint.

There is no fear greater
than fear itself. And even deeper than any conditioned fear we may harbor
is the fear of the battle we must face with ourselves. For 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. And it is a Solitary Walk, though if
Truly dedicated to it's fruition there will be Helpers along the Way. Helpers
in that we will Help you pick yourself up when you stumble and Help dust
you off and Help you get started Walking again. For you see, the Helpers
stumbled too, and there were Helpers who Helped them. And in turn those
who have been Helped, Help others in turn. It is a Path fraught with pitfalls
and stumbling-blocks of all sorts. The Grand Trickster the conditioned
mind is not going to give up control and manipulation of your thinking
and behavior without a fierce battle.
I hope that people enjoy
their Slumber, for desires and cravings are but Sleeping Pills. In the
observation of these maladies controlling and manipulating our thinking
and behavior, what does such observations serve if nothing is being done
to remedy the malady ? This is a wonderful example of how difficult it
is to let go of the Causes of our Suffering. It is not that they always
seem to be there, but rather that we always project them into/onto our
observations. When we observe conditioned notions and cravings and desires
(which are also conditioned notions), causes of our being controlled and
manipulated automatons, if we are not too brain-washed to Realize this,
are not these observations to serve our ability to let go of such ? These
defilements are given reign or dominion over us by ourselves. WE inflict
our Suffering so WE must Save ourselves from such Suffering. It almost
appears that you glorify the Causes of your Suffering, which is a line
directly from the Grand Trickster's script. Observing the Causes of our
Suffering is one thing, turning one's back to them and giving them impetus
is a waste of self-observation.
Again I point to the
infant and say that the infant has no craving or desires beyond physical
survival. Which is actually not craving at all, but rather the form struggling
to survive. Infants live AS the Moment, where there are no desires or carvings.
Desires and cravings are part of the conditioned notions that we must let
go of. We can always observe the infant to see what our conditioned notions
are. If the infant does not have them, then they are not natural and therefore
part of the conditioned baggage. Those little Gurus are marvelous resources
of information about who we Really ARE. IF we Openly and Honestly Observe
them, without projecting any of our conditioned notions into/onto such
observations. For we tend to *read into* just about anything we observe.
This is where the Open Honest Observation is, not reading our conditioned
notions into/onto our observations whether those observations be of an
infant or ourselves.
