The Illusion of Effects

When you negate a consciousness that is engaged in the illusion of belief and conclusion then you cause a disturbance in ones fabric of "knowing". It is like a domino effect that translates into a release of the whole sphere of ones repetitive ideological attachment. Attachment that is the minds need to be associated with a particular belief. The mind is in engaged in association as a source of identity. It is the continuity of an image that a person maintains as the process of self knowing. If you negate all association with all images of the self, what is left? If a person is the undefined, the nameless, then what is the source of that which knows? Do you see in the moment that there is a new quality to ones consciousness? It is the dissipation of self, the outcome of which is a consciousness that is not connected to any image of illusion or defined being. It is the freedom of non-being that is without conceptual seeking. Such a mind is completely free of the past, of all the events of all the yesterdays and all the projected tomorrows. Such a person is free of all prejudice and is without the need to compare or control. This is a person who loves unconditionally and does so, not as a matter of choice, but because that is the nature of a consciousness that is unconditioned.

Some people have asked how is it possible to not believe in anything? The answer is simple but understanding it though a consciousness that is a product of the known is difficult. Such a person cannot imagine or realize what it is to be totally free because the mind is caught in the desire for effects. The mind seeks an experience that is "other worldly" or metaphysical, but what it actually experiences is simply the illusion of its own content. It is projected self image with its accompanying physical and psychological manifestations of a self created ideal. Once a person has freed themselves of all belief and realized a consciousness that is unconditioned, then manifestations which are the outcome of that freedom are not "known" to the one who is free. Only those that live in illusion see effects and define them as metaphysical or supernatural. In reality they have no meaning nor do they define one as a Buddha or enlightened being.

When I use the word Buddha, I am not talking about a personality or a personage of time/space. We are referring to a state of conscious existence which is beyond the accumulated and historical context of being and becoming. Buddha is a state of non being. Descriptively but not actually it is a state of transparency that is the space between two word/thoughts. It is a signature that is without a presence, an emptiness in the fabric of conceptual illusion. The illusion of being and becoming that is the deceptive matrix of time/space. A person is always looking for definition and meaning in events that affect us directly and to a lesser degree indirectly. Something happens and we think...what does that mean? We a looking for some kind of affirmation, a sign that tells us we are on the right track or that we are exceptional. We crave a "gift" that is otherworldly and separates us from the others. But in reality it is still the mind that is caught in the illusion of projected image. Image that is the creation of the mind that seeks. What it seeks is always the illusion of its own content. A person can only realize the illusion of the self created, one cannot "know" that which is beyond the self. A liberated mind does not seek anything, nor does it desire anything that the mind conceptualizes as illumination or enlightenment. One can only stay in the absolute moment, for therein lies the true self. That which is without the duality of definition or identity.
