Bliss is never the outcome of an ideal
2013/09/21 2 Comments
Gabriela:
Indeed, we have created the ideal. But now it all depends on what Ideal means to each human being. I saw ideal as a goal, as a worthwhile higher aim to strive for. This however, does not deny each and everyone´s need for more.
Me:
Truth can never be an “ideal”, that is, it can never be “relativized” – though this is what we assume all the time: “it depends on what Ideal means to each human being”.
With other words, you claim that everyone is free and has the right to imagine anything.
Escaping Life, is manifested in myriad forms and expressions, but escaping – that is,
fear – remains one and the same for all.
I am not necessarily pointing here to factual reality – man needs food, shelter, etc. – but to the psychological state of things.
This inner need “for more” is ideal – can you lucidly see this?
The yearning for “more” – that is to acquire, to accumulate knowledge or money, to be someone, to have a name, to be or not to be something – implies escaping What is. This obsessive search for safety, which itself is generated by fear, is desire seeking fulfillment. Craving for “more” is Ego in its eternal discontent.
“More” is the derivative of dissatisfaction, isn´t it quite clear?
Just ponder:
You must for sure have had moments of great fulfillment, moments in which “more”
or “less” was superfluous. You weren´t searching anymore, as you were deeply satisfied.
You were Blissful in those moments of deep contentment. For sure, Bliss is Presence, presence which is a mighty Joy, an unwavering Peace.
This presence does not belong to becoming, projection or future. Becoming and achieving in time is subterfuge, it is escaping into our own image, never the truth – the Bliss – we are talking about.
Only the nameable can be stated, never ther highest reality

WE MAY KNOW WHAT ONENESS ENTAILS, GIVEN WE LET GO OF MIND NOW.
She:
Letting go of mind” is my priority, my focus. Intellectually, I get what you are saying. We’ve all had many moments out of Time and Mind, so what makes it so “difficult” to “stay” there? I am driven by the fact that I know my Liberation is already accomplished; my most frequent mode is to be grateful and just float in Awareness, watching the illusory fall away. Gratefully, I know nothing, am sure of nothing, am empty and waiting to be filled. I strobe in and out of Awareness, yet I am at Home in Heaven. Just observing as the lies fade away.
Me:
Quite a synchronicity. As it happens, I wrote this little post the other day about understanding:
“If you say you understand it intellectually, it means that you don´t understand it at all.”
If you are hungry, no matter how intellectually I would depict a great dinner for you, that wouldn´t help you, so I´d better give you a piece of bread, to still your hunger.
Intellect is like depicting a dinner. Reality is that we have to eat…- well, at least
in this dimension. 🙂
You have to be really hungry in order to understand. I am not implying you are not. I am just emphasizing that when Mind claims to understand, it totally misunderstands the whole thing.
Mind is misconception, as it directly derives from separation. What is separated can never see anything clearly.
You know that the egoic mind is very cunning. It can give itself as the highest authority. Practically, time and again, we fall victims of our projections and self-delusions.
Illusion is incredibly skilful to pass as Truth. We can think we are Home, but that can be just another subtle self-deception.
EGO IS VERY SHREWD!! Ego can play God, I think you know that by now…
Liberation is not a static goal, something to strive for. Self doesn´t have a clear address, that´s why “priority” and “focus” cannot never “yield” it, cause then we indulge in sheer dualistic thinking. Priority and focus are just some other names for projection.
We have all glimpses, but we cannot “stay there”. Ego turns everything alive into a memory to possess!! ONLY THE NAMEABLE CAN BE STATED, NEVER THE HIGHEST REALITY WHICH HAS NO NAME.
So:
“Letting go of my mind” is Mind fooling itself…Let go of “priority”, let go of focus, let go of any intent, cause that empowers the mind´s conditioning.
Just impartially observe.

Seek and you will find… – nothing

Seek and you will always find just your projection:
A hollow image of your incompleteness.
What is money really?

Yes, this seems to be an impossible topic. Even more impossible task to render in few words.
But as I always want to keep it simple, here is the deal:
Money is the direct and indirect outcome of man´s idea of effort, punishment, suffering,
fear, projection and compensation.
Does Man know anything about worth or his self-worth? Hard question…
Worth derives from man´s idea of effort, and as man secretly thinks he deserves to be punished, it means that Worth is a relief, some kind of time out from suffering. Man´s image of Worth is thus a derivative of punishment.
Effort equates punishment, that is fear to be. Effort is the distance from What is, to What it can be, that is, a mere projection. Man fears his projection, it is serious stuff as Projection is becoming. Deprive man of his projection of becoming and he is lost.
Thus money is just an attempt to equate worth, a substitution for effort and resistance, a compensation for suffering and fear to be, indeed, man´s abstract means to reach his illusory projection.
It´s hard to speculate what would happen if humans saw through and dropped this immemorial illusions of time, suffering, effort, punishment and fear…
For now, it is maybe a Utopia, but just imagine if we all were happy – would there be anyone to punish…?
If there was no one to punish, would there be any projection of your self-worth…?
Give it a thought:
If we all were all happy and free to find our real existential motivation, if no fear was to compensate,
would there be any need for money then?…
If everybody was happy, who would be there to put a price in an unfathomable rich Universe…?
There and then

It is fear , shame and bad conscience , which make us abandon everything real and project our presence into abstract nothingness…internet is, ( among other things ) the outcome of it…
Instead of HERE AND NOW we live in THERE AND THEN – it is indeed this distorted concept which has been the very foundation of ” modern times ” .
Imagine what would happen if we had the courage to confront Fear . To start projecting ourselves on OUR SELF instead of giving our power away to whatever else outside of us .
