Go Deeper

The mind is robotic, period, when we look at the mind we do not so much look at life, at Reality, but at the minds interpretation of it, what the mind itself has allowed and integrated into its view, which is more or less a bunch of stuff it has been told or it once thought about things that appeared to be happening.

To know self, directly, truly, using mind is a SLOW process, and only really serves us in freeing our own mind in order that we can help others free their minds, the fact is we do not need mind to know the self that we are, it is somewhat of a moot capacity in this kind of interest and exploration.
What mind is great at is documenting things, but we can never take it as read for being the Reality itself, it is always a version of reality, a map of sorts, mind is the great mapping agent of consciousness, from experiences it learns to select, identify, rinse, and repeat things, it is totally systematic, again, rather robotic.

Where mind comes into its own, is in life specifics, for instance, I am a guitarist only when I am reminded of the fact, otherwise it is not there, I am just blank, what mind is good at, mine as well as others, is reminding me of the fact I can play guitar.

If the guitar is not there I never think of it, unless someone mentions it then I do not think of it, I see both as the same, the visual reference of the presence of a guitar or a person’s audible reminder, it is really the same mental reminder, the objective cue.

What mind cannot tell me however is my motive and drive for playing, it can give me some version of what it THINKS my motive and drive is, either because of what it has read, seen, and deduced about other guitarists in the world, rightly or wrongly, and better still from what it has garnered from reading my own inner spontaneity and deep creative motivation, but it can never really tell me why.

This is where mind always falls short, no matter how quick, clever, advanced, and developed it gets, it can never truly tell me why, it is always a reading and interpretation of a fact that is a fact all by itself already, interpretation or no interpretation.

If I can see this about mind and have mind see this about itself without freaking out and making too much of it, then there can be a great usefulness in objective thought, I can literally place reminders in my life that ensure I am reminded of exactly that which I wish to create.

There is still the possibility and great likelihood that even then, even with that clarity I still do not fully recognise or comprehend why I want what I do, it is still extremely probable that it is in reaction to something I perceive, that it is a tool or mechanism to cope with living in a reality such as this, a kind of living aid.

After all, have you ever questioned the fact that man has so much, so many gadgets, extensions of himself, and yet is the most troubled species on the planet?

Whereas the rest of the creatures have what they have, as nature provided, and seem to move happily on, this often has me question the sanity of the human being and also question anything that is born of the human mindset, especially the more complicated it gets.

Call me a purist, call me backwards, call me what you like, if it helps you place me somewhere I am acceptable or unacceptable to you…

You see, I know a thing or two about minds, I duuno, maybe in a past life I invented them or something, who can really say for sure, what I recognise is if you need to place me somehere in mind to make me acceptable then that is not you, not the real you doing that, it is you operating through the mask, and so often the interference of mind.

Acceptable and unacceptable is only a thing minds do, being is, the simplest way to describe being is the sun, the sun is, it blazes on and on, in terms of our blink of an eye existence as human beings, the sun is ancient and godly in its mastery of manifesting itself through time.

Sun is simply on, it does not switch off, it is on, everything else spins and flickers around it but the sun is just on, period. This is why it is more like being, being is just there, it is on, everything else goes on about it or because of it, but essentially it is as it is.

We are as we are, we are neither good nor bad, we cannot be placed anywhere particularly, we are not in the conventional sense any THING, we’re neither live nor dead, we just are, this is how simple our Reality actually is, we do not interpret it, we accept it.

This is what I learn from the sun, form the animals, from the creatures that do not require gadgets or accessories to get by in life, to them that is not a sign of intelligence or ingenuity but blindness and madness, a sign of “getting it all wrong”.

You see, they see us and wonder, in the way they can wonder “why is it they need all this stuff, the sons of god, I mean what is going on with those guys?”

And really, what is going on with us that we NEED all of this stuff to go on with our lives?

Do we actually need it or have we been convinced we need it, drawn into the “reality” of it from which we cannot see, think, feel, or imagine beyond?

On the one level “it is as it is”, but if we dive a little deeper we soon see it is a rather tenuous and slightly arbitrary “as it is”, there is something in our arrogance we as human beings have overlooked, and only we can wakeup and see it, thats not the animals job or the universes but ours, HUMANITIES!

In the wisdom and simplicity of the animals is a grace and elegance, and the fact they travel freely without gadgets through this world, TOTALLY in tune and harmony with it, their every breath and heartbeat is in accord with the world, they rarely if ever put a foot wrong.

So, What does that tell you about us human beings? Be honest? It is up to us to imagine where we might go next with this…

Set The Children Free (Even the big ones)

A part of us HATES repetition, exercises, knowing what is coming, even if it enjoyed it the first time, the thought of having to go over it again and again is utterly tedious.

This part of us thirsts for newness, for freshness in form, it knows two and two equals four, now it wants to move on, sharpish, explore more exciting formulas, and hopefully do something with them, see results can be born of them.

This part of us is the innovator, and it is not naive, nor is it crazy, it knows better than most the importance of the knowledge bank, of having a set of useful and useable formulas, modes, drills, and practices from which things can be done, but it also knows it is rare we have the complete answer in “the grand repository of studies” nor have we explored the scope of each simple formula discovered.

And so this is where the cross-over comes, it always does, there is a threshold between each “pure aspect” of consciousness, and this is where it comes for the innovator…

Once it realises the 2 and the + and the 2 and the 4 can represent ANYTHING! Then the game gets fun again, you never quite know what the overall formula is going to be, YET the principle will still essentially be there the 2+2=4ness of it!

So we can use the 2+2=4 as a lens to see things, we can take control of our view, we can play with ideas endlessly and come up with fresh perspectives; Two ideas and two people joined by the medium of language, two seats and two bums joined by the requirement of travel, two bodies and two desires joined by the medium of courtship, two business’s and two business plans joined by the medium of the market…

All of these things have a dynamic to them s well as a stability, it is not easy to describe, it is two sets of twos which is a very dynamic space, yet merged in equality and agreement have the potential for great stability!

There is endless insight to be had, what use it is I cannot say, it ignites an inner clarity, and it feels great, if that is not reward enough then that reaction I would attribute to conditioning telling you/me either it is wrong to have so much simple pleasure for free, or, I NEED to be productive with my gift, and by productive the assumption is “productive within a certain set of already preset ideals, prescriptions, based on the past”.

So whether it does actually always change or not, for the dreamer it has to, it has to appear to, otherwise there is no point in it, you cannot trap such a person in routine, as even when you think they are trapped, when you think you have them, you do not, they will be scheming without your knowing or understanding.

Your best course is to open up and join them, bring them into the fold, then they will share readily, and in ways you could never have imagined!

It may not be everything, it may not be the eternal answer, the high mystical experience or profound realisation, however, there comes a point where it is time to get our thinking clear, not necessarily straight, it can still whizz in spirals and complexities, just clear, and not even that, just settled in and accepting of our minds, whatever they “throw up”.

You have probably noticed in your time here a thing or two about minds; worry looks for more things to be worried about, anger looks for more things to be angry about, doubt looks for more reasons to doubt, thinking looks for more things to think about, trouble looks for more things to be troubled about, and the same can be said of ANY focus or pattern in mind…

All of this we know, we experience it day in and day out, in ourselves and also in our observations of others, the real question is can we change it? Resolve it? Transcend it?

Basically the answer is yes, however, it is usually unwise just to go at it with attitude and force in these areas, like a crazed warrior or battle commander, as the dense field of humanities mind/energy habits, the war mentality that we’re normally exposed to might suggest.

The parts of us wrapped up in these ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving are a bit like feral cats, wild untamed children, they are wise in their own way and do not really take to conditioning or domesticating too well, if at all, except under extreme pressure and duress, and even then its not total, the moment there is an opportunity they will be off, any gap and they will go for it, FREEDOM…

And so they should!

The other trouble besides “the way we go at it” and the consequences of that, is the fact that we tend to have HUGE support groups for our drama’s, if we’re into moaning we make sure we have plenty of moaners at hand, into worry then we are sure to have a reliable stream of worriers, it is an addiction of sorts and we like to make sure we have whatever we’re hooked on close at hand, no more than a few steps away!

This all begins internally, notice how many of your thoughts, even great ones, link back to these predominant patterns, via the most wild and creative associations you’re never more than a thought or two away from your favourite gripe, concern, attitude, of belief system, just check in you’ll see this is true, you are never more than one, two, maybe three thoughts (at the most) away from your most dominant and major concerns.

Why do we do this?

In a weird way we feel safe, one human craving after all is familiarity and certainty, and so we will often go for that more than we go for perception, clarity, awareness and truth, we’re trained to seek safety where so often it is not, we are taught it is noble and good to fail, that success is troublesome and threatening, all kinds of nasty things go with it, the list goes on.

The trouble with believing humanities thoughts though is this, we’re talking of a people who are immersed in stories, they sit in front of boxes of light for hours each day and receive programming about “how life is” and even “who and what they are”, and very few are in touch with Reality itself, just life, plain old life herself, as it is.

If we believe any of this “collective thought”, and what is highlighted here is just the tip of the iceberg, as of course we have the endless myriad forms of hearsay and “honesty” which is generally some mix of (usually badly perceived) personal experience, various indoctrinations (family, school, peers, culture), and the ongoing wash of media and artistic expression of the day (from people who have gone through a similar brainwashing) and you’re dealing with nothing much more than minds filled with similar ideas that sound good to each other, automatons, even the very intelligent and clever sounding ones.

Life is often mistaken with something that moves, that is animated, and sounds intelligent, most people are animated, in motion, and sound reasonably intelligent, but few are alive as far as I can tell, many are nothing much more than reflections of ideas they once picked up from other people who went through the same sort of process of conditioning and assumed in their arrogance, these little people, who after all came from me, SHOULD do the same!

The good news is anyone can come back to life in a second, one spark will do it, after all each are life itself, and one little spark is a bit like turning the key in ignition, suddenly it fires up into life, there is a smile, a glow, maybe a deep and profound pondering, whatever it is we can all do it at any moment, regardless of how deep into “the mass conditioning” we have been drawn.

The remaining question simply is, do you want to? Do you want to be a robot or do you want to be truly alive?

Even your most complex knowledge, understanding, education, spirituality, and endless-isms’s can’t save you from the truth that can come from answering this question (Nor would you want them to!)

Peace Waves )))

There is a reality, it is rarely the one we think it is, nor is it fully the one we perceive, generally it is nothing like any of our thoughts and ideas about it, YET our thoughts and ideas about it can become reflective of it and its principles, that is our primary interest here…

There are then generally two realities, only ever two, there is the pure reality that always is, and then there is what we make of that including our sense of individuality and everything pertaining to it.

Of course, there is only actually one reality, and it is always as it is, however, it serves us better to explore this in dyads rather than try to “force the issue” of oneness, or go into overly complex multi-faceted explorations, at least to begin with.

How we perceive this “pure reality” is quite irrelevant except that we develop a language which is based on it, which has an affinity with it, and so we’re automatically thinking more clearly in terms of actual reality rather than our thoughts or somebody else’s; our parents, families, cultures thoughts ABOUT reality and what we MUST be or do IN reality.

None of those are requirements and are usually obscurities, things which hold us back considerably…

Eventually we all arrive at a question similar to this:

“Do I keep living this life, this set of ideas, these beliefs, simply because they were what was handed to me, do I keep doing that as some sense of duty to those who I am familiar with, who seem to love me the most, OR, do I simply open up directly and do what I know most truthfully to be best?”

The crux is, do you honour ideas for the sake of it or do you get deep into reality and self inform yourself, and then learn to see what ideas truly work for you REGARDLESS of where or who they come from?

This is a tricky juncture, as we know that we know, yet we still require help and assistance, and so we have to subject our self to the potential of being lied to, tricked confused, and generally lead astray again, as most people to greater or lesser extent have done, not because they are bad, but because they are just as lost as we once were.

As “an awakener” If we dive back in and get lost again then what does it serve?

If we have truly gained better insight, clarity and understanding than an old belief system granted us, yet feel compelled to dive back into the old way, then what have we actually gained?

If we look truthfully at this tendency we will see we actually limit ourselves AND others who we might have helped come into this awareness, through nothing more than our fear of sharing what is truest to us regardless of circumstance.

Now I know it is challenging, people get shouted at, hit, killed, attacked in various subtle and not so subtle ways for speaking their truth, but what else do you do? Just bumble along and forget the whole thing, go back to sleep?

Or, do you remain awake and share what you recognise and feel as truth?

It does not have to be such a big deal but it does have to be thorough, and you have to be willing to move on and progress WITH the new dawning as rapidly and deeply as it comes without looking back, stalling, or in any way wimping out.

It is not something anyone can push on you, though once the momentum begins in you it will push you whether you like it or not until you are fully open and active and free, it will persist in every way to set you free and will not stop until the job is done.

That is what this “new wave of awareness” is all about…

Perfect [...]]]> The gift of perfectionism is the ideal, is the act of patience and holding out for the best, quiet observing, of not leaping into unnecessary action, is to sit back and learn, learn so incredibly widely and deeply that the perfection that always was and is becomes readable and accessible.

Perfect Spontaneity

The pitfall of perfectionism, in day to day terms, if it is not utter perfectionism in its purest sense is the waiting and holding out way to long, the procrastination that so often besets the idealist.

The gift of spontaneity is to know without needing to know, it to trust without thought of trusting, is to move with life as is and know it so directly and deeply you are fused with it, not apart from it, this may include mental and conceptual knowledge and it may not, it depends on what spontaneity truly is for you, your personality and your form.

The pitfall of the spontaneous, if it is not utter and pure spontaneity, is error, leaping too quick, too far, being overly bold, taking too much on.

What we see in this, which is a familiar theme the deeper we get, is the absoluteness and purity of approach required whatever approach we choose, or whatever nature is inherent in us already. Perfectionism can work when it is total, when we surrender into it fully, as can spontaneity work equally well, in fact, they are one and the same thing when we get beyond the labels and see the nature of what is.

True perfectionism encompasses all things otherwise it is not true perfectionism, it is trying, it is the mind mimicking and attempting things, and is not the real deal, the same can be said for spontaneity, when it is absolute it too takes into consideration all things but from more of a feeling level, we are driven by life and trust life in spontaneity, whereas in perfectionism we’re driven by conceptual energy forms, which is life expressing through a different portal, the mind.

So what we have here are two drives powered by the very same life, we have the biological form buoyed up and animated by desires, the motions of pure energy in matter, and we have the mind opened, powered up and becoming a reflection of the pure energy, the same life moving through different portals and so seeming to be two totally different things, yet one and the same.

We experience this inside our own bodies, we experience this between bodies and beings, there is always this appearance and sense of separateness, it is the basis of the ego personality, the creator within a creator within a creator, the ego as a mechanism is no problem, it is merely an energy portal that gives rise to individuation, in this sense, every form from the tiniest to the largest has an ego, the key is, what has been formed around or within that ‘ego portal’ that stops the true ego, the pure life itself expressing?

It is always these additions to the portal, the crinkles and blockages, whatever is held beyond what is natural and required, that is what generates the turbulence, the false self, what we normally call the ego, what I see as the true ego in this case is an emergence of life inside of form, the point at which light enters and assimilates into motions and forms, what we make of that, the stories and resistances we put in place, the pushing against and fighting is the false self.

Of course, all of this is a concept, it is meaningless and nothing without agreement and imagination, without the minds openness to explore and take what it will from the metaphor, this is the only way a reality can be sustained between beings or aspects of being, there has to be a flow of energy between us and some resulting framework of expression and movement for there to be any reality.

We can go so far as to say the nature of reality is perfect, what gives rise to it is perfect, which includes all of the motions and guides that move the mind and the form, in their natural state they are all perfect, so when we’re experiencing blockage, discomfort, and any mental/energetic/physical sense of imperfection then we’re always blocking the perfection, making it into what it is not.

When we deny this then we compound the issue, when we insist reality is bad, unfriendly, then we not only keep our discomfort and problems but actually tend to exacerbate them, so who does this compounding, what in us is responsible for that?

It is nothing more than a tendency to react, there is no person to blame, there is just a fiction we have built around thoughts and sensations that we have held to as real, there is nobody responsible in the ultimate sense, there is no error, it is a mirage in awareness, all of it, the feeling, the thoughts, the needs and requirements, it does not actually exist in the way we imagine it or think of it existing, our reality is merely a habit of thinking it is that way, yet we’re adamant it is not, and so who can help us, how can it be changed, if it is seeming to be other than perfect?

The simple truth is we have to see perfection, we can only derive perfection form perfection, it does not come from studying or obsessing about imperfection, we have to rest with the true nature of perfection then what emerges will be more and more perfect, perfection then is not something we make, not something we get to, it is something we realise as always having always been there.

The adopted personality and movements of the mind are the only obstacle to this, we suggest perfection, focus on it, open to it, and really get it, then there is the backlash of mind bought into its personal array of troubles and concerns, this is the game at this level, the constant renewing or dissolving of the mind/personality.

Every time we buy into its stories and ideas we’re feeding it more energy, this has the result of pulling us from the perfection that is, however, because the minds stories and ideas cannot fulfil, as they are untrue, the pressure increases on it to release, it becomes increasingly unstable when we rely on its stories, and so eventually it pops and bursts the bubble.

In the end this is what thoughts and energies are like, bubbles, they have no power over consciousness, we can grow and develop things in these bubbles, ideas, thoughts, aims, plans, we can also dissolve them, pop them.

When we give these thought bubbles attention and focus they grow and develop if well formed and healthy, or, they break down form the pressure if the initial intent is not right, as an ill formed idea can only grow so far before becoming unstable, as then it is not self sustaining but draining, it then seeks to leach power from well formed ideas, and threatens them, threatens life, such a formation then draws more and more attention to itself in the form of pain and discomfort and has to be removed.

We can remove it quite simply and without trouble by giving it brand new and healthy attention, in this way what was problematic has a chance to awaken and no longer is it trying to drain other aspects of being, we are flooding it with healthy attention, it becomes contained in our focus and has a chance to be transmuted.

This can be frightening for such an entity as it has only known what it has known, which is of course limited and limiting to all concerned, it cannot always readily understand what rests beyond the process of change and its fixated narrow understanding.

However, we do, and so we persist until it is done, we cannot leave energy hanging like that, it has to be resolved, completed, regardless of the resistance and suggestions involved from the unhappy/restricted thought form.

Intent in this case is very light, the direction of energy is very calm, we need not be penetrating or forceful but merely firm and consistent, holding focus long enough to complete the process, the nature of the process is the same no matter how we look at it, whatever model or method we use for facilitating it, it is about giving high quality, neutral focused attention that awakens in us or whatever we focus on, the deepest potential.

Wherever there is a disturbance in life there is a lack of that kind of attention and some draining substitute in the form of excessive needs and desires, an exaggerated lusting that is masking the truer possibility available to us, all of this results in excessive demands and rules which become harder and harder to maintain and eventually have to be revised or collapse.

When we believe it is a rule that got us somewhere, an approach, a method, then it can be hard to let it go, even for a second, if we believe that the rule is our power, the symbol of thought, then we would never let it go, it is not until we experience what our power truly is and see what it is not that we’re free, identification with illusory power is the deepest problem, the giving up of what we actually are for what we are not is the deepest error giving rise to all other kinds of trouble.

The final truth is we could not give up what we truly are, it is immutable and unmoveable fact, and so every effort in the way of being not what we are in the deepest sense is illusion, no matter what we make of it the illusion can never be real or makeup for what we are, it is always a symbol of power, an allusion to it and never the real deal.

When we get used to that idea we can enjoy the illusion as we no longer make so much if anything of it. And so in terms of perfection and spontaneity, we find the true perfection that always was will never alter, and so the spontaneity is really our surrender to the returning of that fact into full bloom in our awareness as a human being.

The full realisation of this may take some considerable processing and assimilating to be stable and active in mind, as the reality of the fabric of our life, so as always, venture and flow freely, forge ahead, but with patience and consideration for the depth and scope of such a process as this, the changes and transformations it requires at every level of our being and in every aspect of our life is profound and depthy!

Focus on a quality thought produces energy and momentum, the more focus there is the more energy there is and the more momentum there is, this is a clue as to how to sustain energy and what we call motivation…

Sound Formations

Think of the great thoughts you have accessed or great conversations that lead form one opening to the next, that activated more and more high quality thoughts, where the resistance to activation and linkup is minimum and so there is a natural expansion and exploration.

This is available anytime to anyone, and so we discover thought and energy is unlimited, any person or group can use this principle over and over and over again to generate energy and motivation, it is the power of focus.

It works the other way too, we can become negatively or antagonistically motivated, driven by compulsions of fear and its derivatives, when we heavily focus on what we do not want, what we do not like, we are energising it and activating it with thought which magnetises it, this increases with repetition, we learn many of our fears and concerns in this way and keep them in play for a lifetime and maybe longer…

What we focus on expands, intensifies, increases, crystallises, and any other way you would like to put it, with this we can manufacture and access endless energy and thought, the quality of that energy/thought is reflective of who and what we are as being, what we allow of our natural self to shine through.

We’re back to the familiar story, the underlying trouble, when we dampen or suppress our true nature then it creates a reflective component in mind that is the exact shape and structure of that suppression and dampening, whether we experience this as ‘evil spirit’ as interfering thought, or as turbulent or unsettled emotion we’re essentially dealing with the same thing, the underlying ‘mechanics’ of the process are the same however we look at it.

One way it seems creation and surprise happens is through the forgetting (filtering) and remembering (changing dropping filter) of mind, in this way it is possible to have a sequence of events that appears new each time, if all was known at all times then there would be no movement, just the presence of all possibility utterly stabilised and undivided.

So, in order to flow experiences we filter, most basically we remember and forget within a matrix of time, we filter all possibility and turn on and off various focuses and lenses we have setup, and this emerges as streams of thoughts and events.

None of it is true, none of it expresses the entire us, the being, but it does allow us to explore facets of our self, that is what perception allows, for the exercising of all possibility taken in small focused streams, so we can savour all possibilities in linearity.

It is a play that can be potentially endless, as well as exploring each individual stream of possibility we can of course merge and weave streams together to create even more possibilities, all of which were already there but simply undiscovered or inactive, in this way there is no end to the dynamics that can be created, all we ever need do is create a new perspective, one new facet or idea, and the entire creation is altered, shifts into a new mode, and again we are present to all new possibilities, again and again it is this way.

This is as it is all of the time, if you surrender to it then it is quite humorous, if you try to figure it out with mind it is frustrating and if you try to analyse it and overly plan it out, then it just generates fear and pain or false security.

A tiny human mind, comprising a miniscule aspect of the whole can come into the knowing, but the expression of the knowing is always going to be dependent on the development of the human being, which itself is not limited but does have a certain way to it, like each home and garden is essentially the same kind of thing but has ‘its way’, offers a different kind of trip and experience.

The thing to reconcile here as always is the true nature, our unarguable immutable essence, with the social conditioning, the imposition of one belief system upon another, in extreme cases, the arrogant overriding of one individual by another, the force, the control, the dogma…

The true nature within us all knows of no social bounds, no laws, no rules, it acts as it does, it is utterly informed by itself and all it rests within or around as pure energy we might call spirit, it offers itself wholly and completely all of the time without exception.

So the challenge is always one of our resistance, denial, and non-acceptance towards it, the fullest potential, every time it is the same pattern, the mind focused on other than truth, other than pure energy, focused incessantly on non-source ideas, ideas of its own manufacturing.

Ok, so this power of focus we have is incredible yet we have to master how to really use it in a way that is not limited and sabotaging, the key is to begin with a ‘pure creative thought’, one derived from our infinite nature and then moving with that flow, forming it into something enjoyable.

The way I see it, the seed essence is always the same, that which is of pure energy, we then take it, the pure seed, and sculpt it in any way we like, and we either do so in a way that is in harmony with the principle idea from which the essence was birthed, forming things that reflect the source, or, we deviate and start to ‘mess it up’, add unnecessary distortions, and generally mis-create, forming shadows and confusions in consciousness.

So regards focusing on an idea, we inevitably encounter some of that secondary group of creations, thoughts we once had that act as places connecting us to the bank/library of thoughts other aspects of being once had and keep us hooked in a sort of counter-creation.

We have to get with the idea s much as possible that we’re forming that which opens us to victimisation and attack, we’re creating the shape or pattern in us to which it can take hold and grip, when we dissolve the related pattern then in turn the creations form the ‘banks of miscreation’, all the dodgy patterns can no longer ‘see us’, we become a non reality to them, there is nowhere for them to hook in.

Simply having this idea gives our consciousness and the reflection of it in mind and body the very material and focus to tackle whatever it needs to tackle, we give it the activation and permission to be all it can be, that is our function in all of this really, the choice, the permission, the activation, reminding consciousness what it is and what is can do and what it need no longer do.

So, there are two major approaches, focus so cleanly on the source, the pure energy, even if it is just a conceptual thing at first, until it is that which informs and form which you derive your every other idea and thought.

And/or, focus on the problematic stuff, the miscreations, the dodgy-ness, with such clear perception, give it such pure undivided focus that you awaken in it its own pure focus and self realisation, a couple of things will happen here, it will release into joy and fullness, or, it will become unstable with the power and collapse, in the first case you have liberated a true pattern to move on in its journey, and in the second you have dissolved a false pattern from the pain of fakery and it moves back into pure potential.

So, this is a brief look at focus and what can be done with it, we’re looking of course at a vast subject so we have only touched upon a few ideas here, but each one of them has the power to free your mind and change your life as you explore them for yourself.

Strike It Till It disappears

Except we get VERY good at hiding and obscuring them, and for very multifaceted reasons, basically all memories, so we can neither fulfil nor release the desire, both of which are essentially the same thing when we’re seeing rightly…

So what we’re dealing with here is most predominantly the denial of desire to have certain things or experiences, a desire that of course we can look at more deeply as the ultimate denial, desire that exists only because we denied our self at the deepest level.

So we know most deeply that it can ONLY be resolved at the level of self, that is something we can do immediately, or, we can resolve it through various fulfilments and journeys, which happens through manifestations and movements of time.

The journey of all aspects of self is back to self, the most major pull in the universe is that one, so nothing gets stuck for long before being released or set in motion to resolution, there is no holding back that process, no mind is powerful enough to override that level of power and impetus in spirit, this we must deal with at the level of mind right away, it cannot stop or change the most fundamental underlying momentum, its cause, OR its deepest reality as a whole and complete self, none of those can be changed, everything else essentially can be changed yet we may not feel need to be changed once we know the true reason why.

We can live through the change or go to the place where no change is required, we can manifest the journey or go direct to source, as far as a mind goes, with all its motions and intricacies it is generally easier to settle it through experience, to gradually have it unravel itself through experience, the key is to do so in a way there is no getting hooked up in the resolving experience, this is the only danger there is, that we forget the true reason for desire and we go back into streams of events and try to settle it where it cannot be settled.

If we are sure we can live free of that then we can live freely and enjoy the playing out of experience without further struggle, as a mere resolving wave, like a long cymbal crash that we will not strike again, we know it is the last strike and with the dissolving of the last strand of sound the very manifestation that is the cymbal is gone and there is no thought of striking it again as it no longer exists as a possibility.

The Art Of Empty

How do you express that being nothing is your most profound and truthful state?

Enter if you dare : ) grin )

My truth as I have experienced it is when I am nobody I am utterly liberated, at home, peaceful, yet, when I have attempted to express this in everyday life, at the level of form, as one naturally might do having had such a revelation, it can be quite startling for some people, in fact I have found it angers them terribly in certain instances.

The things is, it was probably the same for me until I actually experienced it, so I recognise being on the side of the equation where you’re caught up in this being something and somebody, as I still am to some degree otherwise I would not bother to write here…

It is not wrong this being somehting and somebody, only never totally satisfying, never quite does it, not like being nobody is, having no concern, no chore, none of anything to contend with, a nothingness being, yet, still with the means of expression, still with the same options and possibilities as before.

So what hooks us into this somebody-ness and something-ness? Why do we create it and believe we need it? What is the sense and value in that when clearly the liberation is in nothingness?

Ok, so this nothing I (aim to) speak of is nothing that can or need be described yet it still exists, or is present to existence, it knows, when I am it and not something or somebody then I know too, very simply, peacefully, I have the answer, not the mechanical answer, not the logical and informed or educated answer, not that kind of answer that inevitably leads to more questions and activities, but the actual answer.

I can still have a body and direct a character who I can give a name and who can go on as per usual, yet something is different, something is never quite the same way again, this process of creating pressure and force cannot be sustained, the tension and stress of it all becomes meaningless, a silly approach to life, constricting, deadening, desensitising, and diminishing intelligence.

Activity can still be there, as too can goals, in fact the activity can increase and the goals become sharper and clearer, so nothing is really lost in this nobody-ness except restrictive automated reactivity to life, and what is gained is space and peacefulness in which passion and enthusiasm can be birthed and the instrument for experiencing that is the body, that too is still there, it does not die or wither away when you stop this incessant being somebody and something, in fact it is relaxed, it can become even more a body and do even more of what a body is capable of, much more!

So why do people get angry and scared at such an idea that has only benefits in my direct experience?

The main thing is you cannot develop a receptor for nothing, you cannot think it, create it, or feel it, to the body and mind it is nothing, the best we can do is come into finer and finer contact with it, subtler an subtler awareness until we once more know our self through and through as that empty space containing everything else, rather than something expereincing nothing we’re nothing expereincing something.

It is different to thinking a concept or assimilating information, it is that in which all those things happen, no amount of tension can take you there, few ideas can take you there, and even if they do you have to drop them at some point, not even a belief takes you there but can put you at the steps or drop you at the gate…

This is the thing with the absolute, it is the end of all ideas, it is the final unravelling form which you may never return, you may never emerge, yet you will remain, the essence of who you are, this is why it requires no beliefs or ideas, it is self evident, it is the final thing once everything else is stripped away that could never be stripped away.

This does not mean things no longer exist, or dreams end, it merely means you see them from a truer standpoint, you no longer need to be so caught up in them or the ideas generated inside of them, you’re free of all that now, you CAN take note of thoughts generated in the dream and use them or you can let them go and choose directly within yourself, freely, no interference, when you awaken you have that choice, if you do not then you don’t, or to put it another way you have committed and are exercising your choice in direction of having no choice to change things.

And the hard to grasp point, that might “fry your noodle” as the oracle in the matrix movie puts it, is that when you’re being nobody everything is changing and moving and expressing as it does with very little if any interference from who you think you are, it happens as a perfect flow, and you can trust this flow though may never really know anything about it, it brings about amazing shifts and synchronicities but you may never know exactly how or why, though you do know about it, you have a sense of it happening.

This may be because you do not know exactly how ‘the matrix’ will rejig itself, yet it will, when we make changes at the level of choices and agreements then it will shift, it has to, you just may have to give up some of the how that is all, which should be quite liberating, not having to know it all, or have the answers, just what you need now, in this moment, as and how you meet with it.

That so far is my expereince of the nothingness and I’m still here to tell the tale, still have fingers, mouth and mind, how interesting : )

So [...]]]> I have just installed and begun to populate a PDF library as a result of the ongoing personal & collective research and practice into the nature and realization of human freedom, it is intended to be ‘next phase’ work which is in the stages leading up to compiling a full book and publishing…

So grab it while it is free and accessible…

It is highly focused on expressing clearest and latest insight on Human Freedom, whether beginning the journey or going for full realization and a ways down the path so to speak, I believe you will find it highly usable, and it should help give you access to new areas and perspectives, I can almost guarantee it will if you’re open to that…

Go look at the new library page and bookmark it to get new updates: New tab along top of page up there.
