Reality is wholeness
2013/12/10 3 Comments
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.

“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. =]
