This "common community
standard of behaviors" and "collective conscious working in unison"
that you so dearly cling to is none other that *conditioned controlled
manipulated programmed automatons* who mistakenly *think* it is freedom.
Conditioned to *think* it is freedom. At least there is a certain honesty
in Hitler and Sadam in that they did not lie about their intended dictatorial
rule, which can not be said about the big lie of conditioned thinking and
behavior.
Humanity has been thinking
and behaving insanely for hundreds of thousands of years. Do we still not
engage in war, in struggle, in greed, and selfishness, in causing pain
and suffering to others for our own satisfaction ? If such activities are
sanity, I would say that it is time that we get a bit crazy.
Yet the ways we learn
are the ways of our conditioned ideas and images and notions of all sorts.
Building from that platform we can gain none other than a further refinement
of that very platform. That is not hope, but rather a more articulate conditioned
notion. The herd is Sleeping, which is the ideal for the herd. However,
the solitary Drummer, Dancing to his Inner Divine Tune, is he who is Awakening.
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. There are many so
called "mechanism for world change", but there is but one that
will work. Which is: 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.
To become intelligent
we must learn something new each day, but to become Wise we must forget
something that we have learned each day. The mental shackles that you speak
of are none other that the Grand Trickster the conditioned mind. And the
Truth you seek will not be found there, but rather Realized as the shackles
of conditioned ideas and images and meaning are discarded.
Indeed, we are Legends
in our own mind. For that which we seek will always elude us, staying ever
at arm's length until we let go of the Veils that Blind us. And the Battle
rages on, and on, and on, until we Realize that the insanity we see around
us is none other that our own projected conditioned insanity. Libération
de l'esprit Grand du Trickster !
When the Window is closed
it keeps our beliefs safe and sound, but it also keeps Help out. When the
pot is empty there is room to fill with Nourishment. An empty sky seems
to have an Infinite Depth. When there is no Rain there is Sunshine. When
a glass is empty it can be Filled. To empty the conditioned mind of it's
contents there is a Vacuum for Awakening, to Clear the Clutter that creates
Darkness from the mind there is Infinite Light, IN/AS BEing there IS nonbeing.
To Dwell IN/AS Silence, we Hear. To Dwell IN/AS the Void, we See. To Dwell
IN/AS Awakening, we ARE. To Openly and Honestly Observe the Jump of a Legless
Frog, we Understand. To Reach with mental Hand to the very core of our
BEing, and grasp the Veils that Blind us and wrench them out, then Touch
the Face of God, is
May I offer that the
Direct Experience of anything would be more important than a *concept*
of anything. Concepts are the Illusions that we form our *beliefs* around
and on. But conditioning is a Fact, and so is quite paramount when we endeavor
to be Free of our conditioned notions. For to long, humanity has bypassed
facing their conditionings by slighting them as "someone else's concept".
If it is another's concept or belief, then we feel that we can buy it or
not. But when it is a Fact that we are standing nose to nose and toe to
toe with, we either have to put aside our conditionings for a moment and
deal with it or go back to Sleep and hope we were just Dreaming.
And though we have enough
Insight not to enter the Web of Illusions that others Weave, do we not
Weave Webs of Illusions ourselves perhaps of a different sort ? Indeed,
the Cosmic Dance -- to let go of all conditioned notions and Dwell IN/AS
the Moment of our own Inner Divine Sound right NOW. Regardless of the medium
we use to *Get Into Ourselves* or *Get Into The Moment*, shutting out all
conditionings and influences and BEing One with that medium, is what the
ancients have termed *The Cosmic Dance*. To BE One IN/AS All and All IN/AS
One, excites the Inner Juices of Awakening.
But it is not a simple
matter of rearranging them or recombining them or even replacing them,
but rather *letting them go*. BEing Free from them. Not being controlled
and manipulated by them. We will always Suffer as long as we harbor even
a simple little Cause of that Suffering. These Causes, these conditionings,
are the defilements of our Divine Nature. Defilements in that they are
that which Veils our being able to Realize our True Nature.
May I offer that non-conservatives
say this too. For what is this label 'conservative' ? Or even the label
'non-conservative' ? It is strange Webs we Weave, True ? Openness is indeed
a sort of Freedom, but not Freedom. The word 'Freedom' has been used and
over used indicating zillions of concepts, but the Freedoms of the conditioned
mind are the Chains that imprison that mind even in it's Openness. Sleeping,
we can be Free of this, but are Chained to that. Awakening, we are Free
of this and that -- "not this, not that". For actually there
is but One Freedom, and that is being Free of the Chains of our conditionings.
As actually there is but One Freedom, and that is being Free of the Causes
of our Suffering.
Ah but redefining meanings
to our own conditioned liking is not Freedom, but rather the Chains of
control and manipulation by our conditioned likes and dislikes. There is
but One level, and that IS the very present Moment Free of the projections
of our conditioned ideas and images and meanings. That level is called
NOW.
Can the mind Observe
itself ? Can the eye see itself ? May I offer that we Observes ourselves,
Observe our conditionings and behavior, Observe the results and the origins
of those conditionings, Observe our reactions and our Illusions of concepts
of Freedom and unfettered minds. We will find our True Teacher Within if
we discard the clutter that Veils this Teacher.
AlI try to do is Point
out some pitfall or stone in the Path that one may stumble on. How do I
know that the pitfall or the stone is in the Way ? Because I stumbled on
them myself or one far Wiser than I Pointed them out to me before I stumbled.
Many, perhaps most, take my offerings as a confrontation -- but they are
far from it. Granted, I have offered confronting statements but not to
argue. Rather so that a *reaction* would arise that one could Openly and
Honestly Observe and glean some Insights into their our conditionings.
Indeed, as Arjuna so
aptly portrayed in the Bhagavad Gita, letting go of the Causes of our Suffering,
letting go of the conditioned notions that control and manipulate our thinking
and behavior, is the most major battle that we will ever have to undertake.
For the foe that we battle knows us better than we. He is none other than
The Grand Trickster the conditioned mind.
Atman is the impetus
of our Divine Attributes, our Higher Self as it were, but that is not what
I was indicating. I was indicating our True Nature of Pure unconditioned
undefiled Consciousness -- that which IS what we ARE a physical manifestation
of. Which goes along with Einstein's statement that "energy at it's
lowest state of evolution is matter, and matter at it's highest state of
evolution is energy". But, Truly Living Life IN/AS the Moment from
Moment to Moment without projecting our conditioned notions into/onto What-IS
the Moment, is not only feasible but a necessity if we are ever to transcend
the Suffering and Pain and wars and conflicts and hatred and violence and
greed and corruption "here on the planet of the eartheans". But
then, perhaps Suffering and Pain and wars and conflicts and hatred and
violence and greed and corruption is desired by most "here on the
planet of the eartheans". At least it would appear that way.
Indeed, Awakening must
occupy our total time and total BEing Totally to remain IN/AS the very
Present Moment from Moment to Moment. It is not *done* for we can not *do*
it -- we must BE it. To be IN/AS the Moment is to BE the Moment. To Live
Life AS it IS right NOW. To be IN/AS the world but not OF the world. There
is no "goal", there is only Awakening. No one has gone anywhere
for there is nowhere to go.
Oh indeed, physical manifestation
is Wondrous and quite Amazing. That is why we should not cheat ourselves
from Truly Enjoying it by harboring the Causes that Veil us Truly Enjoying
it. But I am not to be *believed*, for the only way one can Truly Realize
the True Wonder of which I speak is to Directly Experience it themselves
-- WITHOUT all of those conditioned images and ideas and meanings that
prevent us from Truly Enjoying Life AS it IS and not how we are conditioned
to *think* it should be. Who knows......... it might be worth the try --
if one dares.
That IS the best that
we can do. But it must be done Openly and Honestly and Fearlessly, and
we can not turn away when we Truly Look into the Mirror of Truth and see
what controlled and conditioned and manipulated and programmed automatons
we are. And have the intestinal fortitude to do something about it. If
you are up to it, there are many Awakening individuals here in this Oasis
Community who would gladly Walk with you for a spell to Help. This is a
quiet Community, but you will find that it is a Loving one.
My meager offerings are
but me blindly holding out my hand waiting for someone to take hold of
it and Walk with me a spell, for there is much more to the Natural Magic
WithIN than my mere public offerings could every present. Our experiences
will be many in just a single incarnation, and those experiences can be
tapped from incarnation to incarnation. But of most concern and of most
import are the Direct Experiences in any given incarnation, for they are
those that will Unfold one further than the remembrances of past incarnations.
For there can BE only One, and it can only be Directly Experienced IN/AS
the very instant present Moment, from Moment to Moment.
Perhaps it is because
you were not Openly and Honestly considering what was offered. Why did
you take my last post *personally* ? It was not directed to you or anyone
else in particular, but rather to anyone who could perhaps benefit by it.
Did you Observe your *reaction* to that offering ? Did you Observe the
*reason* that you reacted ? Did you Observe how you were *directed* by
your reaction ? And *why* you were directed such ? An Open and Honest and
unbiased Observation of ourselves give us many clues as to how we can "know
thyself", and thereby *perfect* ourselves to be able to Realize and
Recognize our True Divine Nature. Knowing others is Intelligence, Knowing
yourself is True Wisdom, Mastering others is Strength, Mastering yourself
is True Power. "If you want to see the Rainbow, you have to put up
with the Rain".
It is not the *word*
that holds meaning but rather that which is beyond mere words. Words are
but Pointers to where Truth can be Realized or Veiled. But we get to busy
studying the finger that Points and to busy defending our conditionings
and to busy opinionating another to divert attention, to be able to See
to what the finger Points. An Open and Honest and unbiased Observation
of ourselves give us many clues as to how we can "know thyself",
and thereby *perfect* ourselves to be able to Realize and Recognize our
True Divine Nature. Knowing others is Intelligence, Knowing yourself is
True Wisdom, Mastering others is Strength, Mastering yourself is True Power.
If you find Insights
in these writings, obviously you can Recognize Insights in the writings
of others. To Recognize these Insights, you must be Awake enough to Realize
such Insights yourself. That being the case, do you have any Insightful
to offer ? Did Jesus say, "here are some Insights of Moses" ?
Did Siddhartha say, "here are some Insights of Arjuna" ? You
see, True Insights, Truth, Reality, What-IS, whether offered by Jesus or
Buddha or Confucius or Muhammad or are of the same Value to those who "have
the Eyes to See and the Ears to Hear" True Insights or Truth or Reality
or What-IS. In fact, though we are conditioned to look to Scripture or
Wise Sages of Yore for our Insightful material, it is of more Value to
be offered Insights directly from the one who Realizes them.
To BE IN/AS the Moment
is to BE Totally Attentive to the Direct Experience of right NOW from Moment
to Moment -- no past and no future, no memories and no wishful thinking,
just the Present. No projections of the Grand Trickster the conditioned
mind, just Experiencing whatever the very present Moment offers to be Experienced
and Openly and Honestly Responding IN/AS it and AS it.
Sleeping, we have no
Work to do because we are Perfect Automatons so we continue Sleeping. Awakening,
on the other hand, we Realize that Sleeping has defiled our Divine Reflection
in the Mirror of Truth to such the toxic degree that much *Work on ourSelf*
is required to continue Unfolding this Awakening.
No need to "judge"
it, it is an obvious Fact with the Eyes to See it and the Ears to Hear
it. It is in the ever increasing street violence, and in the ever increasing
conflict globally, and in the ever increasing greed and corruption in business
and government and religions and organizations, and in the ever increasing
Illusion that we are in a Cycle toward a Golden Age in this up and coming
New Millennium when in Fact we are getting Deeper into the Dark Age of
Kali Yuga, and in the ever increasing Illusions that humanity is Awakening.
Yes, a "blanket statement" to indicate the *general* overall
bulk of humanity's state of being. A very Few are Awakened, some are Awakening,
the rest are deceived by the Grand Trickster that they are. Bedfellows
with the Grand Trickster, controlled and manipulated by our conditioned
ideas and images and meanings.
We can "judge"
no one but ourselves. And even then it is an Observation and Rectification
rather than a judgement. As we can Save no one but ourselves. To "know
thyself" we must Observe our conditioned notions and actions and Observe
how and why they control and manipulate us. Knowing others is Intelligence,
Knowing yourself is True Wisdom, Mastering others is Strength, Mastering
yourself is True Power.

To believe means 'fervently
to wish to be true'. A belief is the conviction of the truth or reality
of a thing, based on insufficient grounds to afford indisputable knowledge.
A belief is an assumption, a notion, an idea, an emotion-backed thought
that requires faith. Beliefs are misconceptions that require active scrutiny
and intelligent investigation by anyone who sincerely wants to become free
of the human condition. Many beliefs masquerade as 'truths'. Most people
value belief over fact and the human condition over freedom.
Awakening does not make
a difference in our life, Awakening makes our life a difference. And, of
course, every aspect of our BEing IS that difference affecting everywhere
we are and everything we do with everyone we interact with. The Transmutation
from Sleeping to Awakening IS the Realization that what we were conditioned
to *think* life was, is not Life at all but rather the slumbering meanderings
of a programmed automaton. That Transmutation Opens our Eyes to the Wonders
of True Free Life. An unspeakable awe of the Wonder of even a single grain
of sand. For IN/AS that grain of sand we can Realize the Keys that Unlock
the Wonders of the Whole of the Cosmos. Indeed, how can there be conflict
as we are awe struck with the Unity IN/AS the diversity of True Free Life.
If All is One, and One is All, if As Below so Above, would it not be a
misnomer to *think* that conflict could exist ? It is the Grand Trickster
who gets us to *believe* that there is conflict. So if we let the Grand
Trickster go, let the Architect of our conditioned *thinking* that there
is conflict go, does it not seem reasonable that we perhaps would no longer
see conflict ? Harmony and Balance is the Keynote, the foundation, of the
manifested realm so it would seem that the Grand Trickster our conditioned
mind brings conflict to the Moment rather that conflict being in or of
the Moment. Does it not ?
Persistence, perseverance,
and Right Effort are the Keys to your sustained Awakening. But may I offer
that you not *try* to attain Awakening. That which you seek will stay ever
out of reach. It is nothing that you can get or have or find or even attain,
for it can only BE Realized. Forget about Awakening, BE your practice,
BE that state of BEing gleaned in Meditation or Yoga, with no thought of
Awakening. Dwell IN/AS your practice and the Self-Realization of Awareness
will creep up on you and take you over -- it is called Awakening. Another
offering is, that if we have not discarded the clinging to our conditioned
ideas and images and meanings and notions of all sorts, True Awakening
will not be Realized. Still Sleeping, still conditioned automatons, we
will only realize what we are programmed to *think* awakening is -- which
is far afield of True Awakening.

So what is Pain do you
really know have you so sought Have you given it your attention or go by
what is taught, You will Fear the Pain because you really haven't a clue
Of the Causes of Suffering that you surely do go through. -- Yogajyotii
Your Desires and sense
Pleasures are a major addiction Causing much Pain and to knowing yourself
a restriction, No other drug is as hard to get over than this pestilence
For it is ingrained at our very Core as habitual ignorance. -- Yogajyotii
Our thoughts are who
we are just the mind being a mind So just Still the mind as uprooting conditionings
of a kind, BE the True Nature that you ARE not notions controlled Ever
