Samadhi's Revelation



We return from that Samadhi where in our humanity has been successfully sublimated. Having been naked before the Universe we understand our humanity and our existence by having been to the wellspring of being.

If there were words to describe colors to the blind this could be aptly described.

Consciousness on the part of creatures large and small is inevitable, natural, and dis-associative. The very nature of creature-hood requires of Awareness a focus making inevitable the sense of individuation. The emergence of "I" from the field of Awareness is necessary to the survival of any living organism. And it is wholly to be expected that this dis-associative natural fabrication should dominate the sense of being.

Those who wish to live from the un-carved block of their being have only to slip the leash of consciousness in awakened full Awareness.


Meditate.

What is the Sexual Who



One of the difficulties elucidated in "The Ten Bulls" is the arduously achieved recognition of the collective-unconscious by that Awareness which is the true Self and the essence of all life, individual and collective. This Awareness made inevitable by our existence has no gender, has no opinions, has no habits. The creature-hood made inevitable by the structure of our antique brain is the domicile of the ancient scarecrow in whose psychological cloaks Awareness will drape its Self. We do not choose these things. The collective-unconscious is the template about which Awareness explains and arranges its experience. This is wholly impersonal, and when we innocently subscribe to the sway of the collective-unconscious, Awareness is hostage to the blind forces of nature: once again individually and collectively.

The un-enlightened, say "I" to these impersonal forces. "I" feel this. "I" am that. The "I" which is subject to these forces is the product of these forces in a self-reinforcing spiral of hypnotic fascination.

The great Awakening does not dispel the animal. The animal is the ride. Riding while asleep is almost certain to achieve less than optimal denouements.

What Do People Want




What ever they want it is it is certainly not Enlightenment. There is too much to lose and Nothing to gain. The normal mind has absolutely no awareness of it's investment in cultural trivia and biological make work. And that's OK. Most human beings are unprotesting, hardworking, innocent examples of animal nature. They expect and wish for no more. Sharing the instinctual attitude of all mammals is absolutely without blame. It is what we are and it would be grossly fascistic to expect otherwise.

Hmmm.
