Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
It is the Mirror of Truth that I hold up in front of you. If the reflection is to painful, you can turn away and avoid the pain. But when we avoid the pain, we miss the Dance -- the Cosmic Dance of Awakening.
There are no "what ifs", there is only What-IS. There are no speculations nor rationalizations, there is only What-IS. We choose nothing for there are no choices, as Karma chooses nothing. The short of it is that Karma merely arranges events and situations (including re-birth) suitable for our Growth. Karma sets up the potential or inclination of what is Needed based on established Growth of the last incarnation. Quite mechanical and non-judgmental. Karma is not an entity in itself, but rather an Operation of Cause and Effect. And in the state that we are in before re-birth, we are not capable of making choices and judgments -- fully aware of where we have been and where we are and where we are going, but incapable of anything but going with the flow of the Wheel of Karma/Reincarnation. So, speculate and rationalize not, for you are only spinning your wheels -- study and Understand.
Do not try to fix that which is not broken. Do not apply beliefs to understand that which requires no beliefs to understand, for beliefs only get in the way of our understanding. Embrace these offerings AS the ARE, projecting nothing into/onto them. You will glean more Insights if you do this.
Awakening is the melding of Ying and Yang as a Balance of One. When all aspects are in Balance there is but One, both ying and yang as well as neither ying and yang. Sleeping, we juggle the two. Awakening, we meld the two to One for there can BE only One.
"Believe" not, for belief is the Veil of True Understanding. Either you Know or you do not Know, but there is no room for belief in Awakening. There is no "higher level", for you ARE all levels, your beliefs Veil that Understanding. You must let go of conditioned notions and Open to What-IS. A couple more words to look up in the site search engine: *What-IS* and *Conditioning*.
Pointing out that this sort of thinking in regards to Desire is like climbing the stairs of a 20 story skyscraper, getting on the roof, walking over to edge of the roof, jumping off the roof to the awaiting pavement below, and complaining because we did not survive the impact when we hit the pavement. What I am saying is that if you do not climb to the roof of the skyscraper (do not generate Desires), do not jump off the roof (do not give energy to Desires), there will be no impact to deal with. We give birth to Illusions and give them credence by letting them control and manipulate us (either through suppression or enacting them), then complain because they are Illusions that damage or hurt us. If you are going to stand out in the rain, do not gripe when you get wet.
Come in out of the rain ! That is, stop generating Desires. That is, when you see a perfectly designed automobile for example, appreciate it's perfection and even compliment the designer, and let it go at that. The same would apply to anything in the physical manifested realm, appreciate it's beauty and let it go at that. It is not permanent so why dwell on possessing it. Besides, you could only use it for the time that it is around or the time that you are around -- which may be a pleasant experience, but not worth grasping after it or clinging to it. You can not take it with you.
Giving life at all to it damages you. Generating it in the first place damages you. YOU are the mother who gives birth to Desire, so YOU have to take the Birth Control to stop giving birth to Desire. It is not a matter of suppressing or repressing or avoiding or submitting or subduing, but rather in not mothering them in the first place. And why we mother such a monster ? -- is that we are conditioned to do so. YOU are the mother and the Grand Trickster is the father.
IS is IS as NOW is NOW as the Moment is the Moment. There never has been and there never will be a Moment quite like this very instant present Moment. Each Moment is anew each Moment form Moment to Moment. So indeed it would behoove us to embrace each Moment AS it IS at the Moment, a new and refreshing Direct Experience. This Moment was indeed built upon the past, as this Moment will be the foundation for the future. But neither the past nor the future is Real for neither IS this very Moment. When we do not cling to the past or the future we can Dwell IN and enjoy the present Moment. For in essence, this Moment IS What-IS Reality and Truth -- for neither Reality nor Truth can be Realized in any other Moment but this very instant present Moment.
This is not to slight the awesome struggle we go through to Dwell IN the Moment even for an instant, for the Grand Trickster is a more than worthy adversary. But beat him we must, for he is the Slayer of the Real and of Truth. The Slayer must be Slain, and we are the only ones who can do it. No one Saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may, others can Point to the Path, but we ourselves must Walk the Way. Experiment: there is no past, there is no future, we are an entity that just materialized from the aethers -- in this strange place, strange because it is the first Moment of our existence -- we have no memory of where we were or even if we were -- strangely we recognize everything that we see as though we had seen it before -- we know that we are, and all we see is, but where all of this NEW experience fits into the scheme of things is beyond our understanding -- so we embark on a Journey, but where this Journey will lead us is again beyond our understanding -- we embark, we Journey, we Directly Experience, we greet all that we experience anew for to our understanding we have never experienced it before this Moment -- nothing we experience, including ourselves, has any history, all simply IS as it IS. Even an instant of Awakening is the beginning of the rest of your Awakening. And each progressively instant of Awakening sets up a pattern, unbeknownst to us because our whole existence is a new experience, that lends us to further instants of Awakening.
So it is a matter of Realizing that our memories and past experiences impede our Awakening as they arise. The Key, then, is when they arise, as with thoughts in meditation, we acknowledge that they did indeed arise, contributing no energy or attention to them and watch them fade out of our experience. Like mental chatter in meditation, they slowly but surely lose their impetus -- lose their control and manipulation of us. If only for a Moment, still we experience it and go on to experience the next Moment. We are conditioned to thrive on familiarity, yet each successive Moment is anew. And so we shelter ourselves from this seeming Unknown and cling to the seeming Known. Fear not, to tread where no man has trod before. Even as adult, we must BE each Moment as the new born babe for each Moment we are new born babes in that Moment. Truly Observe the young Guru, for the new born babe will be a most profound and Wise Teacher.
Such Recognition, such acceptance of the responsibility, is of primary importance if we are tired of dealing with Desires and seek a way out from under their control and manipulation of our thinking and behavior. Now that that step is taken we are in prime position to Slay that Slayer. And I gladly offer the Sword of Truth to Help you BE the Monster-Slayer that you ARE.
A primary first step is admitting that there is a problem and that we are the problem. But the Key is quite simple -- STOP ! That is, stop Desiring. What is worthy of Desiring ? A new car, new clothes, fine food, expensive furniture, money, a beautiful or handsome person to spend time with, a mansion in Beverly Hills, an penthouse at Buckingham Palace ? 'Things' to enjoy for as long as we can, for sure. But Desire ? You see, Desire requires a presumption. A presumption of some future event. That is to say that Desire is not in the Moment, but rather in the past. For the past requires a future -- dwelling in the past from this very Moment is a statement that this moment is the future of the past. So as we Desire something in this present Moment, we are placing a future event when that Desire will be satisfied. So the Key would be dwelling in the Moment for there is no Desire when we dwell in the Moment -- there is no past and no future so there can be no Desire. Letting go of, or discarding our conditioned notions and dwelling in the Moment establishes us in a state of Desirelessness. Further, letting go of our conditioned notions establishes us in the Moment. Mathematically: conditioned notions = in the Moment = Desirelessness. Mathematically: + conditioned notions = in the past and in the future = Desire. And one does not have to be a rocket scientist to calculate this math.
Whether one opts in or opts out, either option is suffering whether it be conscious or otherwise. Sleeping IS suffering. Sleeping, there are options. Awakening, we do what must be done IN the Moment due to the Moment -- there is no option. What-IS is What-IS, so our only option is What-IS. So if you like to call it an option, we have the option of What-IS or What-IS. I prefer opting for What-IS, yet another may prefer opting for What-IS. Whereas Sleeping, indeed we have a multitude of options. It is called *conditioned automatonic response*. No muss no fuss, just follow the Grand Trickster's script.
I primarily address the unconscious suffering, for that is the suffering that is due to our conditioned notions, that we refuse to admit or acknowledge. Conscious suffering is when we know that we are suffering but can find no solution to our problems. Solving our problems is all about giving up trying to solve our problems. When we Truly Openly Honestly Observe ourselves, we Realize this to be so. It applies to life in general, in that, when we stop grasping and stop trying to hold onto things and simply BE, with no thoughts of past or future, embracing the Moment that we are IN, we do not need solutions because we do not have problems. When people tell me that they have a problem that they have to solve, I tell them "no, there is no such thing as a problem so there is no such thing as a solution. There is only a situation that is waiting for us to give it a direction. And you can not give it a direction while Sleeping".
Sleeping, Sight most Blinded, ever in Darkness, I would say that we all could use a *Ray of Light* reflected from the *Mirror Of Truth*.

Evidence is continually being uncovered that there was a continent that obviously submerged in an area now known as the Atlantic Ocean. As the present Earth changes unfold more will be brought to light on submerged continents of yore because some will resurface or rise to at least a depth that can readily be studied. Most other evidence is circumstantial in that it was written about by philosophers of yore, such as Plato. They were dealing with second hand information, but the same information surfaces from different parts of the globe when obviously collaboration was not very prevalent in those days. Rest assured though, there was indeed a Lemurian Age and Lemurian continent and indeed such a place as Atlantis. Perhaps not by that name and not a so called *advanced culture* that believers and writers would have us *believe*. As is the case today, there were cultures more advanced than others. Our strength then was more in the Natural Forces and the Psyche, more than our present empirical scientific strengths of today. We were a simpler sort then with less intellectual capacity, sheer line of the evolution process will show that -- we could not have then what mental capacities we have now. Make no mistake, Atlantis was not a different place nor were they different people -- it and they is simply our forefatherland and our forefathers. Many say that we were more advanced then than now because we keep reinventing the wheel. That is, we advanced further then in a shorter time line then than we have now. We are more advanced now, but it took us twice as long the go the same distance in times of yore. So indeed, we were advanced in many respects.
