To understand a perfect being

This hit me actually in my sleep around 3AM today. How can an imperfect being like me, fully understand a perfect being ? And isn’t that right off the gate a wishful thinking to begin with ? In other words how can a simple finite four dimensional being understand a multidimensional universal creator ?  This separation is why we are unable to discern God adequately in our lives, and furthermore the journey will always be in a gradient flow between you and the universe. This is an important fact to understand and surrender to. Seeking the truth is a flow state, like a river flowing through you to the eternal, there is flux, there is energy, but its a flow state. Calm but always flowing between two points. All praise to the Unknown. 

To be spiritual

It’s easy, and great to be spiritual when the stomach is full, the body has all the comforts and the mind is oblivious. That’s why so many lately are awakened spiritual healers and divine beings!

Suffering and Joy are same to the Soul

All souls within all beings quietly rejoice in all of life’s movements, i.e. both joy and suffering. Yes. Because it’s simply here within each to experience all things. Like all the rides in amusement parks; some are fun and some are scary, and some are thrilling, all the more they are all used and present in the park. Most end up riding all kinds of rides.

Truth is the soul sees no difference between one’s joy and suffering. It simply observes experiences the magnitude of both without interference, through its presence within the body. We are only the sensor, our soul is the true experiencer and the god the unknown is the ultimate seer or observer and the final experiencer. This is a difficult truth.

This is realized in a moment or few moments because it is temporary and cannot be permanent. But when you are lucky enough to connect with your soul, in that brief moment you will immediately realize both suffering and joy is immaterial. And there is immense gratitude for your mere existence itself. That is a truly profound realization that can only be remembered after but cannot be continually experienced or sustained.

You can through strict meditation, and in extreme states achieve that reconnection and clarity again. This cannot be taught or formulated down. It can be spoken of like this, poorly! It is a self realization that anyone can attain and it is a true state. But our existential reality is the counter weight to this duality of life and understanding perhaps for good practical reasons of life. I have lot more questions too. I know it sounds ridiculous to conclude suffering and joy are same to the soul. But that’s the learning. Be well. 

Spiritual Shortsightedness 

-The Desire for “Gurus”  – Part1

I always wondered why so many kind beautiful minds stop too prematurely in their quest and settle for so called “gurus”.

Gurus are the anxious minds fixture insert to fill a  growing void. So called “Gurus” provide a hatch for these innocent troubled minds to close the void. With ashrams, persuasive speeches and rituals. Its a trance set forth that many get ignorantly trapped. It buys time away from their daily drama and hardships. But it actually takes away their time, for many-their lives are poured into the words of a single beings’ reflections, which is far from their own self’s awareness. It’s no different than taking pain killers giving momentary reprieve as you never were cured of the issue causing pain, and if you stop taking the pain returns. Such is the survival traps of such gurus and their programs.  Its sort of like spiritual outsourcing. Think about it we outsource almost all of the things we use, these gurus are such outsourcing of a mind’s ultimate quest. Jiddu K, spoke volumes on this. He was a great human being. The very nature of this setup is  a mistake against the unknown. A true teacher is like a good parent, who will serve you limitlessly, to take on life, and not consume you and become the focal point. Not sit on thrones, allow to be worshipped like deities, permit rituals on themselves as a spectacle. These are sickening to even imagine but happen. They will not permit these in any way, their ego will be under check and their acts of service will speak not their indulgent self vanity celebrations. All answers the mind seeks are everywhere, its in nature, its in good deeds, its in all people. When the student is ready the true and only teacher will appear. Be well. All Praise To The Unknown. 

The completeness of faith in God/Unknown?

Why many cannot come to grips with this and those few who do….well. Regarding faith, you must understand that there cannot be asks, queries and prayers in faith, as it is the complete unquestionable surrender of one’s self. And the truth is; upon that surrender outcomes and experiences become irrelevant. Yes, your suffering if there is one, will become irrelevant. This is also where a religion’s ceiling lies – when it doesn’t lend itself to help mankind surrender in faith. It is also the deepest fallacy of any religion because mankind has instrumentalized it into a transactional concept. we get into this cycle of – I pray for safety, I pray for my family’s wellbeing, I pray for a good career, etc, which the unknown is definitely not about. You See its like this – When the drop enters the ocean whether peacefully or violently once its in, “it” no longer exists, because its the ocean. what come of it or its state is an irrelevant question and discussion, that thought is a selfish deplorable and futile pursuit of self indulgence. But know this -the drop is in the ocean, the drop is now the ocean and the ocean is the drop. All Praise to the UNKNOWN.
