What's Next ?

When you are in touch with the source, then something is possible that cannot be conceived of in any rational, logical manner.  Your psychological demeanor changes.  The projection of your self- motivated agenda ceases to be a factor in relationships.  As such your psyche transforms into one that is totally disarming. Because all duality ceases, as you realize you "are" the other.  In that moment the other changes from being on the outside to being on the inside.  That is, your change becomes their change.

Its truly astonishing, the defined self ceases to be a factor in relationship.  That relationship becomes one.  The differences in opinion and position no longer factor in relationship.  There is only the friendship and communion of people who are fundamentally of one mind.  The other may not even be aware of what is happening to them.  They may even feel that they are the same as they have always been except that for some reason they are happy and at peace.  They may no longer be confrontational with one who has realized the source.  But it is not anything that you have done or that can attributed to some super-natural entity.  It is just simple awareness of what is and of being of a mind that refuses to be caught in the conditioning of what has been.  Its really that simple.

If you are one of those that realizes the folly of all that we engage in daily to find happiness, then the above is your next step toward realizing the unknown in every facet of your existence.  And please don't try to make this into some new religion or write a book about it or tout it as some "new" psychology.  All that is just the mind that is seeking to make the unknown into the known which is not possible.  As it is born of emptiness, so must you be an emptiness.  Anonymity is the highest intelligence for it deny's self importance.  Selflessness is the flower or a mind that is unconditioned.

Touching the Source

Have you ever considered the possibility that you could change....everything.  We are not just referring to individual or collective change.  But the whole sphere of thought its self.  We have talked about changes that can occur in the psyche.  And that change is in the moment or not at all.  Where "change" is concerned there is no tomorrow or future.  Only the projection of the self identified and defined.

We all exist in relationship.  Everything that is, is related to every other entity both sentient and non-sentient. We are not separate although thought creates the illusion of the me and the not me. It is the primitive mental exercise of a "self" that moves through conditioned time/space.  In our individual and collective relationships it is possible to discover and realize something that is revolutionary.  It is not a theory or an experimental exercise.  It is the very fundamental matrix in and through which all "things" exist.

It is the source of all that is.  We are not referring to spiritualism or some new age crazy "ether" thing or God.   Neither is it scientific theory nor part of an known or unknown universal truth.  It did not come from the "Big Bang". But all these things and more are part of it. Its immensity cannot be intellectually comprehended.  It is beyond the grasp of human intelligence.  Yet we are wholly of it. Not part of it as a duality but as whole.

We cannot know the "source" as you would know a thing in its self.  But it is you, that which is and remains the unknown.  How do we experience the source?  The source is never experience it can only be experiencing in the moment.  Relationship is the key to its understanding.  When one becomes consciously aware of a moment when all things become as one.  Remaining in that moment we see relationship unfold and we are able to touch the source through our actions.  These are not reactions to something perceived by an entity but rather simple choiceless and timeless observation that solicits an action of pure unconditional love.

That uninvited source (you cannot make it or will it to happen) is the change in your angry neighbor, the religious or political war about to start, the disgust and rancor in your own mind.  It all changes not because you did anything (because your "doing"is the problem) but because you realized "the relationship" that exist in all that is.  When one touches the source then a new understanding is born.
One that cannot be touched by the minds tendency to calculate risk.

The Idealistic Nature of Thought

What does it mean to be "Idealistic"?  When a person is exposed to stimulus, thought records that stimulus as memory.  Memory is applied to circumstances to insure that we have understood what has been.  Memory is a survival mechanism.  It also provides us with a means toward discovery.  The new and never before stands on the shoulders of the remembered.  But we must realize that the moment is not what was yesterday, it is the new and never before.  Idealism is the minds way of clinging to yesterday. And to want yesterday to continue.  So "thought" its self is basically a continuity of what has been.  We seek continuity because it is the known and is therefore a security in what is an insecure existence.

Idealism is a belief in something that has been an established mode of thought. It is ingrained in the mind as irrefutable evidence of something that is unchangeable.  The mind through this measure is seeking a kind of permanency.  It is an act of a totalitarian mind set.  The traditions of yesterday, the conservatism of so called "knowers" are the dead echoes of a mind that has ceased to engage in critical thought.  Critical thought does not mean, demeaning another because of your beliefs (political or religious). It means you question the one who is seeking, the entity that believes, the self that thinks it knows.  Because... it actually "knows" nothing.

One must always question what has been.  Otherwise the truth will never be revealed.  If you live in a bubble of conservative or idealistic thought, thought that has ceased to question what has been, then you cannot accept the moment as true reality.  You must reference your beliefs and then reconcile the moment (modify it) so that it can be accepted.  So as a tradition you continue down a path of delusion and sanctimonious indifference.

Can you break out of this mind that requires the past to "Be" the present?  Can we realize a new person with each and every new day?  A fresh mind that see's for the very first time a moment that has never been nor will ever be.  Can we look without a position in doing so avoid opposition? Of course we can because we have realized the "unconditioned", a mind that does not require conformity.  Such a mind see's the reality of the absolute moment as it actually is.
