RE: Something I do that most people would think is crazy!
i was literally going to post about the living in the heart meditation.. it is very special and also quite simple... i have that book also since many years..
It's a good meditation, worth passing on.
I commented on Michelle's article below this post. I would like to find what is your impression of that comment? If you have the time to take a look of course. I am trying to communicate lucidly about the aspect of life that goes mostly unnoticed in western culture, the transcendent. I thought the logic I presented was fairly clear but Michelle has taken it in a different manner. So I am looking for some more opinions about the expressions I am using.
well john, this is so deep!
My simple answer to that comment and discussion would be:
The ultimate truth is that there is only one.. everything is from the same source and we are all made of the same stuff! But we live in a dualistic universe. We have night and day, good and bad, man and woman etc.. In this universe we also have light and dark.. Whilst darkness can be dispersed with light very simply.. there are also other energies that are something like daemonic.. These energies can't be so simply dealt with using light alone.. sometimes we need to either just accept them as an inevitable part of a perfectly balance dualistic universe.. or else we have to shift or change these energies using one of various methods...
SO its a hard discussion to have because it depends if you are coming from the ultimate truth, or the practical earth based truth... ultimately everything is source!
i hope that makes sense!
thanks!
Thanks, Alex, for your comment.
However if we have One Source as you acknowledge where is there a foundation for anything else? How does an appearance of something else arise? such as your mention of daemonic entities? Daemonic is where the ego and the false feeling of separation that results dominates and life becomes interpreted in terms of the preservation of a false identity. That is a state of delusion. What is it that solves that ignorance but the light of the One Self? Waking up to what is real and letting go of the attachments of believing through feelings or thoughts of what is unreal, w/o foundation. We are made of that one reality. Illusion is dispersed by Knowledge of that one reality and by nothing else.
My point is that it is important to understand that believing in the "truth" of the duality is what maintains the duality. The duality actually has no more substance than a shadow which begins to disperse by bringing in the Light of our One true nature. That One true nature is shared by all, even by those lost in the thoughts and feelings of the ego. Until we realize that in both idea and substance we are adding our energy of attention, our individual consciousness to the falsehood of the duality.
