All belief created realities are equivalent when seen in their totality

All belief created realities are equivalent when seen in their totality just like all movies are equivalent in their totality. So if I’m trying to find truth IN THE MOVIE, I just find the truth of the movie contents, but when the movie changes, then again, the contents change and I find the truth of the new movie.

But the real transcendent truth is beyond the movies(Appearances). The real truth, is the one taste, the one unifying substance of all belief created realities (of all of reality itself). The movies may have recurring themes of varying abstractness, but the transcendent truth unifies all of the movies.

The transcendent truth is independent of the specific movie appearing on the screen. It is the quality of ‘MOVIENESS’ itself which applies to all of the movies appearing no matter what.

New perspectives on Love

The energy of creation is Love.

The energy of manifestation movement is Love. (Note: Manifestation is movement in duality, no movement = no manifestation of anything whatsoever)

Love energy = Creation, Gain

Loss of Love = Removal, Depression, Loss

The will to do something, even the will to live, is a manifestation of ‘Love energy’.

When this love energy is lost, it is felt as depression and all your creations(devoid of love now) become a burden to you.

Just like absence makes presence fonder, the loss of love sharpens the perception of love itself (just like you can see light the most only when you emerge from darkness).

In other words, all manifestation is out of love i.e. a spontaneous creative act.

If that is the case,

– Suffering experience is from a love for suffering

– Pain experience is from a love for pain

– Defiance is from a love for defiance

Similarly, love for torture, love for laziness, love for hate, just about any negative thing you can come up with has the energy of love/creation driving it.

Love is the energy driving ALL OF THE MANIFEST. The concept is transcendent. It is something like the concept of presence. There is only presence and absence is also a kind of presence only ‘the presence of absence’. Similarly, love is the energy behind all movement in the experience field, call it -ve, +ve, its irrelevant.

What you love, you become. Its just a matter of time. See beyond the time dimension and its clear they both are ONE THING. You are already your desire/what you love.

The ‘becoming’ illusion is a transformation that happens in time.  Its like solid becomes liquid and then becomes a gas as we heat it. The substance has changed form, but it is still the same essential substance right no matter what the form – solid, liquid or gas?. This is something similar. Similarly here, potential –> Kinetic energy is a transformation we see in time, but when seen outside the time dimension, they both are ONE. Your potential/desire/what you love is EXACTLY what you will eventually become. Things may appear to stop this process, but for how long, this potential energy when given the opportunity will convert itself to kinetic becoming. You ALREADY ARE your desire if seen from a perspective transcendent of time.

I am the supreme being

I am ‘The being’ of everything
Everything arises in me and passes away in me
I am like the Infinite screen that can BE any picture
But am fundamentally none of those pictures myself

All pictures are empty of essence
Similarly, all experiences are empty of essence
The ultimate truth is the non-essence
Of all experience/phenomena/perceptions

The sun, moon and stars all revolve inside of me
The universe manifests inside of my being.

My being is prior to all appearances

All appearances are from the dance of ‘my being STUFF’
If I stop dancing, everything becomes still, and I AM THAT
I do not create my hand, I am my hand
Similarly I AM this universe, I do not create it

I do not need to know how I do it
That is irrelevant
Just like I can move my hand
without an inkling of knowledge as to how I do it

I JUST DO IT.

Words like empathy, care, love, concern need redefinition

When another person is dejected, I felt obligated to also feel the same dejection that person is feeling.
It was my own internal guilt telling me that I should display the same dejection on my face too.

Then it occurred to me, how does that help? How does it help if I make myself feel the same feeling the other is having? If I also felt dejected with him, then does that help anyone? I feel this is fundamentally flawed at all levels.

Empathy according to me is respecting, allowing and hearing the feelings the other is having, it is not about making yourself feel the same feeling. I see that a counterproductive. First of all does someone really want to stay dejected? If a particular event in his/her life triggered this, does it really help if another unconnected person with a different dream and life is obligated to feel this same feeling? Is it fair to IMPRISON/HOLD HOSTAGE another person’s feelings to match yours, until you have it?

That seems like an intensely cruel act, perpetrated in the name of demanding humanitarian empathy. The principle is: ‘I am feeling terrible, and I want you to feel as terrible as me, as long as I feel terrible’. The issue is now, the person originally feeling terrible cannot step out of his/her own state, because now, even the other person has joined in, so the 2 people together support this state and perpetuate it much longer than if the other person stayed in a good mood and thereby revealed the transiency of the dejected state.

It is almost like the act of a devil, pulling you(sucking the soul out of you) using her eyes of guilt into her evilness. Isn’t that exactly what we call horror? And all this cruelty and insane dysfunction is masked and masqueraded under the word ‘EMPATHY, CARE, CONCERN, LOVE’?

If a person constantly gets themselves in a bad, low vibration, dull, heavy, sticky mood, listless mood and then demands that the other get into the same state of feeling in the name of care, love, concern, empathy and love, something is SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY wrong and needs to be urgently investigated!!!! Those words need serious redefinition.

Fear, Guilt, Shame, Neglect, Dissociation – Only exist in unconsciousness

dark_room

Emotions like Fear, Guilt, Shame, Neglect, Dissociation only exist in darkness.

Imagine you had a mansion with 10 rooms. 3 of them, you have decorated and visit everyday. But the other 7, you have locked them up and believe that there is something terrible in each of them. You never open those doors because of that belief.

These beliefs/imaginations/stories about what lies behind those doors is stuff like:

Fear(something in the room will scare the shit out of you)

Guilt(something in the room will make you a slave and subjugate you)

Shame (something horrible is inside this room)

Neglect (something totally worthless is there inside)

Dissociation (could be a combo of something worthless, horrible, scary, subjugating)

So I say, its all darkness, because, what is in the room is not known to awareness. The belief shadows the whole of these rooms.

Is what is happening good or bad?

This question is irrelevant. After all, if you ARE with WHAT IS happening, then there is no fragment to stand apart and judge the other fragments as good or bad. You are so totally THAT, that the judger too gets absorbed into the THAT.

Emotion Types (Focusing, Dispersing)(+ve, -ve)

In emotions we broadly have focusing/narrowing/inhibiting/coalescing emotions and dispersing/spreading/disinhibiting/freeing emotions. Additional each of those emotion types could be +ve or -ve.

In short:
Focusing emotions (+ve, -ve)
Dispersing emotions (+ve, -ve)

Focusing emotions:

Shame, Guilt, Fear – Inhibitory, Negative Controlling & Focusing of Attention

Curiosity, Fascination, Passion – Inhibitory, Positive Controlling & Focusing of Attention

Dispersing emotions:

Wonder, Love, Creativity – Dis-inhibiting, Positive, Freeing of Attention

Chaos, Confusion, Spacing out – Dis-inhibiting, Negative, Freeing of Attention

Push, Pull – In both the sensation and thought spaces

I initially started observing that I could stay equanimous at the sensation level (esp. vipassana retreat) i.e. which is essentially no pushing or pulling at any sensation, at the sensation level. Then later, I noticed the same exact thing also applies to the thought level.

What is our reaction to thought – push or a pull. For some thoughts we react with a pushing force (i.e. we try to push them away). For certain other thoughts, there is a pulling force (i.e. we try to pull it towards us, it could be for various reasons, even when we are intently trying to solve our long standing problem, or when we get obsessed with something, we are pulling on it).

It is possible to be equanimous at both levels i.e. no push, pull in sensation and no push, pull in the thought space. In reality there is no separate thought space and sensation space. They both permeate each other. The gross and the subtle permeate each other and exist in the same singular space of awareness.

All striving is a fractal

You will never find what you seek by striving for it. Because that is the game itself. It is a fractal game that plays endlessly. There is no end-point in anything. Everything eternally moves. Absolutely, there is nowhere to go, nothing to attain/seek/do.

This game space/sandbox allows you to play any kind of game forever. Can you even imagine a time in your life when you would have satisfied every possible desire and you have completely finished it up? Nope. No such end point exists. In fact if at all it exists, it exists NOW, this moment is the Nirvana, if you surrender completely to it, that is the ultimate satisfaction and mystical moment you can have. Because you cannot find yourself, but looking outside of in Time or Space.
