You have not told me what YOU believe.
The man you quoted is quite intelligent but rambles on and on himself to no end but that of HIS point. At last count there were about 6 billion points on the planet and that is just in human form.
We each must find truth.
It has been written in, The Course of Miracles,
The curriculum of life is mandatory
the time we choose to apply ourself to it
is the elective.
Truth can not be captured or contained but it can be experienced.
We look all about ourself
to find
what we already are
and what we already are within
in all places and at all times.
It does not mandate joy or sorrow or freedom from the experience of either yet bliss has been used to describe the state of experience within the reality of knowing truth.
It is paradoxical.
We find it through great effort but only when the effort is then relaxed and our awareness surrenders to an opening, to an instant in the present moment do we become aware of it.
Buddism touches it from Budda's insights when he huffed and puffed and finally saw it under the Bodhi Tree...in the spaces, in the pause,
in the GAP between things,
between thoughts and between ideas.
Jesus said, 'LOOK...I AM MAKING ALL THINGS NEW.'
What did he mean?
Moment to moment,
instant to instant,
between the thoughts
he was aware
of creation
happening in the now.
He and Budda knew.
Budda saw there was no thing to teach or do once he broke out of the mind identification as WHO he was.
But a being shared with him the realization that in this physical world there are many for whom the dust is light and your teaching from your simple action of BEING may assist many to awaken from there sleep. So he hung around for 40 years.
It is said that for some just watching Budda wash his hands opened the flood gates to heaven and bliss.
How?
Pure focused action HERE and NOW.
Remember, Buddha and Jesus KNEW. They were it. The teachings and the followers are at minimum once removed and often many times removed from the direct reality of the truth these two attained and demonstrated and thus the worlds dilemma.
These are not semantic expressions
to be argued
but an experience
to be attained.
We are often caught
within the mind moments,
the intellect,
the billions of thought sparks wizzing around at any instant.
What appears so dense
and real
in this matter world
science tells us
is essentially empty space and a little bit of energy.
The beauty of that science
for your dilemma is that what appears to be
is not always what is.
Again what organ do you use to discern truth?
Subject/object.
The world,
yin/yang.
What are we without them?
What are you without your thoughts?
Who are you without thought?
Trapped we become the dog wagged by the tail.
Trapped we become the words on the page...and so it goes. |
