Acceptance and Negation

In previous blogs I have been discussing the vehicle of negation and in subsequent meditation there was the realization that negation brings about an acceptance of the moment regardless of circumstances or consequences. While one may not have a belief one accepts the reality of those that believe and are in illusion. There is never a judgement or conclusion about the reality of the moment only understanding. One should not confuse understanding with judgement which creates division and conflict. Negation is the outcome of freedom and understanding. It is not a personal attack on the beliefs of others, but if one is asked to explain then one answers with an observation that is absent an agenda or position. Seeing the truth of the moment is a personal realization that is new and original to that entity and not to the collective. Because we think in terms of conceptual idealism it is impossible to explain the reality of such experiences verbally. The word is not the thing but it may point to the reality. It is up to the individual to find his or her own way. This is why one must avoid being caught up in the teachings of others and of beliefs in religious or philosophical ideals. Use such things as stepping stones but realize that they are of little importance and only serve to further the illusion of the self.

So negation is acceptance of the moment. It is the negation of ones desire to change the moment to suit ones beliefs and ones illusion of knowing. It has nothing to do with changing another person or changing the world. One must realize deeply that only the self can change, change that is not an activity of the self proper but of understanding that transcends the self that knows and of the activity of knowing. When you are experiencing the reality of the absolute moment which is absent the self that knows, then the world changes, because you are the world.
