Reality is wholeness
For most people, “Wholeness” is a mere futile concept, like music for the deaf. They are “deaf” to reality insofar as they take thought for Life.
Thinking – as we know it – cannot consequently grasp “Wholeness”. We can´t heal unless we question and eventually give up thought-identity.
Insanely difficult…- as this is our most precious heritage – our very Identity is and
stems directly from Thinking.
Debra:
I don’t know what you mean by “give up thought.” Have you experienced this?
Me:
I write only about things I have directly experienced.
Most assuredly, I have always wondered what it was meant by “Learn to die before you die”. I have lately understood: it is for sure the greatest challenge for man – to give up the false ego – that is, the wrong immemorial identification with THOUGHT! Thought is with other words, the “me”- identity which is so treacherously opposed to the totality of Life.
TO GIVE UP THE THOUGHT-MADE IDENTITY… – it is not less than a heroic act of courage as I come to realize that Thought has eventually nothing to do with Life…Thought is the greatest barrier to know Reality. In fact, ultimately, I see thinking as the worst disease invented by man, to defend himself from The Wholeness of Reality.
Yes…Thought which is self-imposed psychological Time – our shield defending us from directly experiencing Life.

About julienmatei
I feel an inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefer to see only "the official" truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or... we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blog is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation... finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness.

“Thought is the greatest barrier to know Reality” … just so.
Previously, I took myself to be my thoughts, my feelings, my body. I also took my thoughts and feelings to be the barometer of reality.
The question then becomes: how does one get outside thinking? I mean there’s the big breakthrough that’s required and then the ongoing breakthroughs.
One thing I do sometimes re the ongoing breakthroughs is to invent the possibility “I don’t know anything” before speaking to anyone.
‘I don’t know anything’ isn’t much of a stretch for me. =]
