Living Deeply

Why do we live on the periphery?  The superficial seems to be what we crave. To be absorbed with the self and its desires.  But what if we could realize something not born of the mind that wants what it wants.  Not the suppression of desire but the understanding of it, on a level that has not yet been experienced.  We cannot find this depth in a "formula" or a "path".  No "teacher" can teach you, because it cannot be "taught". Yet if one has the passion to understand the self independently of a craving or an appetite for the known, then perhaps a person will discover an element of the unattached and unidentified.  As long as you are consumed by the superficiality of the illusion of a self centered existence then you will be blocked.

One must observe the observer.  Seeing into the mind that exist as a contradiction. There must be complete attention to the one who is living in self induced complications, which are the seed of all problems.  One must realize that this in fact is all we really know. When we refer to depth are we referring to some sort of esoteric image? A person must realize that all these so called secrete societal cults and methods by which we seek the "other" are nothing more that the continuation of the illusion of seeking a god like state.  Reality in depth is far more enlightening than some sort of religious doctrine or "woo woo" science. To understand deeply the actual reality of the moment is far more likely to bring about change in the psyche than all the teachings of sage, saviors and gods of all history combined. Because the moment is the only reality and it is where you find and understand deeply. If you are passionate enough, then you may begin to understand your relationship to existence.  But one must shed all the accumulated beliefs that have been harbored over a life time. And this is the difficulty because our minds have been so ingrained in historical illusion. It is a process of being mindful and of realizing that most of our responses to life are emotional. We must realize that they are grounded in fantasy and illusion.

When an organizational entity wants belief and undying allegiance it uses a volley of fear and misunderstanding to touch the "emotional disturbance" of each individual. The desired response is the mindless following of life on the periphery of an agency of hate, anger and despair. One who lives in the absolute moment with a depth of complete understanding avoids the pitfall of those who would control for power, money and celebrity. Living deeply means that you understand the self of motivation
and that you accept total responsibility for who you are in each and every moment.
