I love the saying he died early or too young as if
there were a set clock. Or it’s reverse; he died a
good old age. How can people still set their emotions
on ideas they know to be false and totally irrational?
Do they not know they do in fact live in a golden age
with endless possibilities, if only they could rid
themselves of these unfounded emotions and delusions?
Only the pessimists could say life isn’t full of roses
implying the rest must be pain. What garbage. Life
indeed is not full of roses and thank god for that
small favor! Nobody could survive that oppression. But
of roses, carnations, violets, poppies spreading out
over this endless creation of the mind and pouring
into the infinite.
How very few seem to recognize this today which is
strange because we choose what we see, hear, smell,
ect. We are in control of our senses, nobody else. But
we no longer take responsibility for our senses and
gave it away (to whom?) as if it were an old disproven
god. Our own senses, thoughts, and emotions. In this
respect we only suffer through our laziness. Knowledge
that was proven over 9 thousand years ago, falsely
accused has caused us to forget all basic truth here.
I was watching a documentary on terminally ill
patients who decided for whatever reasons to film the
last weeks, days until their death. Parts of it were
shot in the hospital, parts in people’s homes. I don’t
really need to explain the program as it differed in
no other way from any other, it was absurd, stupid.
The families of the patient were quite content and
“useful” through out the last days, using the usual
comforting words and running errands. And not
surprisingly it showed the tears and crying after the
death of the patient. When observing them I felt no
real pit or sympathy for them naturally (we don’t
really ever feel this) but I did feel almost alarmed
by their reactions. I knew there would be the crying,
wailing and Christianity but yet it still surprised
me, or took me slightly off guard. The problem I
realized was that I was still expecting them to act in
a ration manner and with reason but they followed that
dangerous path of religious tradition or its thoughts
and manners which haven’t been explored with the
people, just accepted. Pity and sympathy for the lack
of understanding might be more appropriate.
How often we live in misery or suffer pain that could
have been avoided if only we were not so damn sure of
ourselves. We think we are unstable and “questioning”
people during these times but this is not the case. We
question, yes, but under the same false perimeter of
our understanding. Really the non sense just becomes
louder and somehow more believable to the sufferers.
It only becomes vocal, nothing more.
*Why do you cry over that which you don’t understand
or can only see a small portion thereof?
I think its obvious man is still afraid. Afraid of
truly letting the sick gods die, burying them with
their morals and bravely walking into the future. This
is a terrifying idea for most people and to proper the
fears our imagination conjures the old words anarchy,
chaos, madness in the streets. Could it not be
otherwise?
And at the same time man has to deal with technology
which was named “so called modern ideas” in the age of
reason that failed so miserably beyond the perversions
of its ideals and using everything as an alchemist’s
handbook.
The good news is that it is never too late,
pessimists be damned. All we need to do is get our
senses back and take responsibility for our own
consciousness. This would be where we find out who the
shirkers are and try to help them later. For now each
human on this planet can only help himself. Do you
want to be your own best friend or your own worst
enemy? This is the only choice you have in the matter
and we can assume we will always be with ourselves.
The problem is always were to start if this has to be
in written format. So I decided to stick with my theme
of not following any order, chronological rules or
even ideas. All of it will be a random chaotic mess
but towards one aim. We need again to think about
opposites as they were in the age of reason and by
Krishna. Not that any names matter, they are just more
useless symbols that need to be avoided. We only need
to think about opposites and what they mean to us. We
too often just think of them in an offhand manner or
as terms in a child’s school book. Nevertheless we are
convinced they are real just not of great concern.
Even if we deny this most still live in opposites and
are a contradiction. All of this is the habit of the
lazy person. The lazy man will see as many opposites
as the judge. THE HABIT IS THE DANGER.
If we look at it for a moment in very simple terms
such as “hot” and “cold” we call opposites from lazy
habit which shapes our thinking patterns. We can see
the opposites don’t exist and it’s only degrees in
temperature and everything else for that matter. But I
see peoples minds work differently and fall into the
trap. Our minds apply this logic to all manner of
life, if only it were “hot “and “cold.” But we use it
over and over as humans, “good” and bad” “good and
evil” “healthy and unhealthy” and now we put our minds
bodies and soul at risk based on a falsehood we know
to be so.
Must we judge every little meaningless object that
hits our eyeballs? You can see how very little time
need pass before we are full gowned judges.
We divide fear into rationalnd irrational knowing
that all fear is irrational. With our fear must come
our anger, with our anger we are hopeless to ourselves
and a danger to our neighbour. More so if he lives in
the fear and anger as we do.
Still we march on judging and weighing everything we
can perceive in any form all the while creating this
chaos of desire, fear, hope, despair. On and on it
plays in our minds adding to itself each second we
live and very often without a thought. This will
become unbearable after a time and a person will have
to medicate himself due to his nature.
Or could we stop for a few minutes? Can lay back and
let our minds wander, paying attention in a calm state
of meditation without judging? Seeing there is no
good, no bad, just too much chatter and non sense
going on over and over like a broken record in our
heads. Analyze them, look how ridiculous some of the
thoughts we are being controlled by really are. All
these wandering useless thoughts are scary when we
think about how many people live there lives listening
to them. It’s a quieter version of schizophrenia, just
another degree and not an opposite of anything.
Only you can be the architect of your own heaven or
your own hell, only you control your mind if you take
responsibility for it. Think how foolish we look when
we blame others for our misfortunes. You cannot with
reason blame another for your lack of discipline in
controlling your own mind. THIS FAR STUPID DID HUMAN
BECOME
One of the reasons was he didn’t free himself from
the error of believing in the opposites.
Degrees not opposites.
Understand that when we judge and weigh each object
we block the truth of the object itself which is us.
And so much of it is just idle opinion anyways.
People can even go as far as to believe this shows
intellect, by their likes and dislikes but it only
shows ignorance of oneself once again. At best all it
could display is taste what has that to do with
intellect? In fact you had no choice in whether you
liked this or that in the first place. It’s like
trying to take credit for electronic impulses and
stimuli. A plant does this.
So far weighing and judging doesn’t seem to have many
benefits.
A man needs to know that a fire will indeed burn his
hand but we could use limits and moderation.
To take it a step further we do not even judge well
according to our own backwards rules. In a way we
cannot play in our own crazy reality. For example we
just assume death is a somehow bad, negative, fearful
but with no evidence to point towards that whatsoever.
We don’t even need to know what something is, or even
need to see it to judge. Now we are prejudging and
came become offended by this act in certain cases.
We are always doing it ourselves but don’t feel like
hypocrites due to the matter reflected upon. But we do
form the habits. Could “cold” and “hot” and the
opposites be responsible for racism, war, hatred, of
course but we are still doing it. “Good” Bad” “Evil”
“Happy” “Sad”
Look at how people can become depressed simply by
believing it has an opposite of some sort, a “happy.”
But neither exist but by degree.
There is a degree of happiness and depression but
there is no set state as we have long known. Even the
most trivial matter can become an obsessive hell to
one tricked into believing in opposites.
There is a killer and a saint in all of us, the rest
is only degree.
The reason we act in such ways is the result of being
lost in the senses too often and for too long. In this
age people still spend there whole lives lost in this
illusion and actually miss their real life. Desire
will fuel the senses even if it was its creator.
Desire and fear are still our two worst enemies. And
most only live according to these concepts, obtaining
what they desire (and what lengths people will go for
nothing) and avoiding fear and pain. This is natural
but at the same time has become a poison like any
medicine if we take too much.
If you are not in a state of fear at this moment then
why should you ever be? Desire and fear won’t survive
in a strong mind. Of course we all get frightened but
there are many walking around as if in perpetual
shock.
If you cannot even prove the world exists and you
realize there is no such thing as the future what can
you fear? If you are not horribly afraid this instant
then you have no fears. Tomorrow does not exist, and
never has so how can its fears and anxieties?
So in a horrible backwards way only humans could
divine we are always living in future that does not
exist and have placed the health of our minds there
instead of just living in the NOW, NOW NOW!
The beginning of a month can start for any of us and
if the last day of that same month is a particular
nasty day coming look how often we live in it! We
sometimes live everyday as it were just that one bad
day and ruin every moment in between. How much time is
lost this way? How much happiness?
We owe money at the end of the month but have no way
to pay it. A serious concern to be sure, we might even
end up on the streets. This seems like even less
reason to want to live in this day over and over. I’m
in no way being unrealistic unless someone can prove
to me that this insane behavior at least pays the
debt. But it doesn’t. But a sound mind, one who does
not live in the passions, the opposites, the senses
seems much more likely to me to be able to handle the
debt and much more in life. He still has his mental
faculties unimpaired by fear, has no irrational fears
and has a much better chance of success. But if both
types were to fall we know who will survive it as
well. Fortune and misfortune he knows, but it does not
touch him leaving him freer to overcome. The other
would have a very difficult time with a drastic change
in reality.
The great men of the past recognized neither past nor
present except as ideas.
Our disadvantages in life now seem much greater
because for so long we made them out to be. We should
have passed over them laughing or better yet with
barely a glance.
Judging and weighing continually our bodies, minds,
friends, families, we are destroying or at least
covering the human element in all, which is all.
We will always be blind in this state and have no one
to blame but ourselves.
Revengeful people are among the most lost and have no
control of the senses or intellect. They are one of
the extreme examples as is a person with a distrustful
nature. A distrustful person will be the hardest case
because of what is inside them. The most important
concept, that of “looking within” they will want to
avoid at all costs. But once someone of this nature
takes the step they are free of all suspicion and
distrust knowing its true roots.
There is always hope it’s just a very difficult
transition. Notice too how they are the first to see
immoral, evil, bad actions and are ready for revenge
upon something they have no realistic interest in
beyond self interest. They apply a vague story from an
even more vague source mistake it for truth, THEN add
it to some experience in their life. Yea, justice,
right. They want revenge for their own misfortune as
they are lost in the senses.
The result is that they add more negativity,
hostilities and ill will at the world. They make it
look the cursed place they designed. And what comes
from hatred in any form? There is no positive hatred
and it does not defeat the enemy. That’s an American
political idea.
When you hate the killer you still hate and hate will
create your reality. Hate, fear, desire, anxiety, all
yours to create if you should choose Just remember you
created all your illnesses.
And the attempt is always made to spread it to the
rest of us so we can eventually create a killer and
start the cycle over again. There are morals for you.
We prolong wars in the name of protest much the same
way.
Caught in the senses man will always find much to
hate and call immoral. He will never be short of
enemies because he is continually creating them around
him with his dark creativity. As he will always be
able to find desires and moreover desires unattainable
(ironically only unattainable because he lives in
desire and the senses in the first place.) All
important are his empty dreams and never to be
fulfilled.
A good source for bitterness is the senses, and
desire to do good can push the man there as quickly as
fear and hatred. Be fooled by none, desire, fear,
love, hate, pain, pleasure, it is all the same and
comes from the same source.
Controlled, destroyed by the unreal on mankind
marches, and for what?
A hard question and worse answer for those trapped in
the material but freedom lies in the question itself.
We will always be controlled by the collective and
tradition to some degree but we need not suffer from
them anymore. It is far past time we can accumulate
all the wealth we need and more without falling a
slave to it. And far past the hour we can heap
misfortune upon us and care nothing about it beyond
the necessary. But living in the senses they will
always exchange one illness for another or pile one
upon the other. The same applies to useless desire.
If you think about it its incredible how dear of a
price people will pay to put themselves in their
prison. This could all have been done for free with
one misjudged act instead of a lifetime of them.
If you are alive, breathing and not screaming in pain
this instant you are fine. If your back in
uncomfortable or your arm is asleep you can move it.
If you feel nervous, anxious, uptight, let go, relax,
and breathe. You are fine. Clear your mind, still
those nagging voices until you are firmly in the
present. Pull yourself once and for all back from the
future. Tomorrow has never existed nor will it ever.
Find peace and contentment in the NOW, NOW, NOW. The
past is but yet another fiction where we build biased
memories, false blame towards our own acts and others,
or lose the NOW NOW NOW with false
memory and regret. The past does not exist, neither
does its pain.
The true beauty is NOW NOW, don’t lose that in
illusions.
We learn from our mistakes as our nature constitutes
and we do not need to look over old photographs.
One possession be it seductive enough to its victim
can be worse than a world of possessions. If a man
cannot give up all he has, he has nothing worth
owning.
Almost an obsessive abundance of nothingness they
have for chains.
Ironic that we are either claiming to be free or are
crying out against infringements on our freedoms when
we are already a slave to our senses.
No external force needs us in bondage, we did that
ourselves. Furthermore, “external force” is really
only internal ignorance and more misinterpretation of
signs and events. It almost seems like we created all
this madness and stupidity on purpose so strong is the
hold.
The man who gives up all that is important and crucial
to his life already receives it all and owns or can
obtain anything he sees as worthy. The very richest in
money understand this concept but not your” working
person.”
All should know the degrading game we are part of if
we are pointing fingers at any time in life. Your
friends, your enemies, your political leaders and your
gods are your conscious mind and you all share the
same traits and qualities in the so called “moral “and
“immoral.” Only degrees.
As long as we keep blaming others we will never see
where the real problem is, “within.” Granted it is
easier the old way even if it does kill us with its
grotesqueness.
You do not differ from the child killer or the saint.
We judge both but are different only in degree. You
are Hitler and Gandhi, the town fool and the master
poet. Darkness and light by degrees. The vilest
despicable “crime” is within you as is the greatest
act of kindness. It is all in you for good or bad if
we have to label each. This makes judging another
person impossible for one who understands this.
peace, love
Andrew
