You, Me and Truth

It is interesting how people dance around the truth of the moment. They are in fear of realizing the illusion of a self that is motivated by the violence of power and greed. To face the truth of ones self is difficult because it is the beginning of the end of the separated. The divided lives in the fear of not having of not being able to acquire and control. The ego/self must maintain its individuality in order to project its image of confusion, contradiction, and conflict. People live in a world of conditioned disharmony and defined ignorance. The self is immersed in a sea of conceptual belief. Belief and conclusion that is the prejudice of a mind that is sick with the desire for conformity. Conformity to the authority of self image and organizational tyranny. To break free of this authority is to realize the true self, the unconditioned and uncorrupted consciousness of that which is free of all attachment.

An illuminated consciousness is without self "knowing". Illumination which is just a word that has no meaning, is without a defining individuality of self. One cannot become illuminated, a person can only dwell in the light of the truth of the absolute moment. Truth that is without an entity that knows. It is beyond the scheming and acquisitive mind. Thought cannot conceive of its immensity.

Many will think it a fantasy of the mind, an escape. But if a person is actually free of all of the things that the mind has created as an escape from the truth of the moment, then it is possible to intuitively realize something that is beyond the self. This is the beginning, to realize a small glimpse of an existence of total freedom. The idea of freedom is not freedom, but if one can see in the moment the reality of conflict that is the outcome of attachment, then perhaps a person will be experiencing a small release. That release will open the door to freedom that is not a function of self motivation. It is in reality a negation of the self that is attached. The dissipation of a self centered consciousness.

There are enough "spiritualist", "soothsayers", "shamans" and "new age" guru's in the world to make a person cynical about anything that seems outside our "normal" activity of greed, conflict and fear. But in reality they are part of our self motivated, acquisitive, and power seeking conditioned existence. There is nothing new about anything that they tout. All there prepackaged foolishness is just a symptom our own desire for self promotion and conformity. It has been going on since man first realized that he could con people into believing in the so called supernatural, and create a power base with wealth and all the other trappings.

You cannot "seek and find" outside yourself. That is what this blog has been about. It is about you and me and how we find out the truth together. Truth that is without the mumbo jumbo of some "secret doctrine" or the teachings of some "enlightened" wizard. All these people are out to make a buck off your insecurity and fear. The only thing you need to do is to free yourself of all your self created illusions. All the rest of it will fall into place naturally. In the Diamond Sutra, Buddha taught the essence of simplicity. But one will not realize it until the mind has been set free. Freedom is the only real truth, it is the outcome of unconditioned love.
