Security and Appology

What is the state of a mind that is seeking security? Surely it is a mind that is caught in the concept of insecurity. The mind that is seeking security establishes safeguards. Organizations to insure security. The mind that is seeking security is also the mind that creates division. The result is exclusion, separation and ultimately nationalism and intolerance. One has a view of security which is in opposition to anothers view of security. The seeking of security is the creation of insecurity. Mind seeks security in religious dogma, charismatic personality, and the pursuit of the 'divine'. The result is, those who 'know' and those who 'don't know'. The disintegration and antagonism of the individual and society through the designs of security.

If one is to find the truth, one must look deep within. Mind must be silent and still. One becomes aware of the center of the self. The meditative mind that observes without movement without reference. It is the dissipation of the separative activity of thinker and thought. The unconditioned flowers and there is clear insight. One has the realization that there is only insecurity. That life is insecurity. It is the unknown from moment to moment. The known divides and seeks security, the unknown is integrated and whole and within its sphere there is neither the secure nor the insecure. It is the cessation of the 'I' who seeks the division, fear, and violence of security.

To have an intellectual grasp of these words is simply to have a mind that is full of definitions. Definition is conceptual and not actual. Realization is in the moment, the actual undefinable experiencing of truth. The flower of truth is Love, which is the outcome of vulnerability which is the state of a mind that is free of the desire for security.

Why are we apologetic? One instigates a perceived transgression against another. One does not want to be in disfavor, so one apologizes. But what is an apology 'actually'. Is it an escape from truth? Does it excuse reaction so that one may resume the activity of conclusion? One exist in relationships of mutual exploitation. Is not an apology actually a way in which one can continue to exploit. One seeks security in relationship. But that seeking is the progenitor of fear, jealously, and violent intent through words and or actions.


One may believe that one does not engage in such activity, but all are caught in the illusion of self importance. Mind has an agenda of self preservation and seeks conformity to its concept of the me. The truth of this is veiled by the activity of excused manipulation. Mind is lost in a sea of feared reprisal. There is honesty and truth in vulnerability. It is the putting away of self interest. It 'is not' the way of wealth and acquisition. It 'is' the way of intelligence and understanding.


Amida said: "One must find without the angst of seeking." "Inner harmony (Samadhi) is the outcome of a mind that has escaped the ignorance and division of time which is conditioned thought."
