taotiger - Nebulous Anomaly

fly, fly, over the hills. 
love the One who is truly still. 
being is being does not need an answer - 
just question the wisdom of travelling faster.
there's no-where to go by illusory motion 
so fly, raindrop, fly
to the fathomless ocean,
and when you alight on the waves pulsing forth,
simply bow your head into the depths and dissolve -
melting in the rainbow pitch,
merging with the deep -
fly, my friend, fly
to a land without sleep.

relax. nothing is as it seems. it's not that there's not seeming, as that's also very real. real in the sense of something present - not really a thing, but the presence itself is what is there. but the difficulty is that even this 'there', isn't truly not here. it is. that much seems certain, until enquiry into what it is, yields the discovery that it is is... it is, but it is not an it at all. is. now, that much is certain. no more, and surely no less. even the now that has apparent existence, really can only be expressed as the is, too. like eternity - not now and then, but ever-now. no other. just is.

and what is, exactly? there are infinite universes, separated only in the mind. that is, as all is mind, not limited into parts at all - all this limitless complexity is all mind, as is the experience. mind, for want of better words, is just Consciousness. is the awareness of. is. eternity. and since we can't ever go beyond this, it must be in this eternity which is ever-now, that the infinite complexities are, also. this is infinite, too - not just a great many. that means, obviously, that anything that may be conceived of, already is.

belief. that which you believe, will certainly manifest. if you believe in something you can already see and apprehend, then nothing will substantially change. but just try believing passionately in something that seems impossible. give it enough energy of conviction, and certainly it will manifest, not just as a possibility, but as reality. no matter how weird or bizarre - you believe in it, and it will become true. this is true for this life. and this is most likely true for the time (so to speak) following death.

and the infinitely complex immanent universe concept. why, that's all that is necessary - the concept - for it to manifest as reality. as is. this so-called i can assure you that, there are an infinity of manifest realities co-habiting with you, and that all this multiplicity is actually only one, and no more. how? because this has become living experienced truth through belief. your belief may not include this, but you are mistaking a truth for the truth. a dangerous endeavour, engaging in this ignorance of one universally true concept excluding another. it is all true. it is all one and no other. it is all... is.

you say that day is bright and night is dark. this is a belief - the mind creating and sustaining a supposed incontrovertible reality. and i, too, believed this, until one night i find myself walking in the daylight. this is not in some other universe - this has happened not too long ago. this is the mind altering the mind, which seems solid as light and reflection on rocks, but really is no reflection other than a play of Consciousness in itself. that is. eternal. one, and no other.

so soon you might be transported to a land where evil people drive black cars, and good people drive white cars. where the passionate drive red cars, and the intellectual drive blue cars. and the regal drive purple cars, and the earthy types drive brown cars. and where each driver knows the system of expression by choice of car, and drives so as to further their interests - be they good, bad, passionate, intellectual, regal, earthy - communicating telepathically with others of their car colour. so as the mind believes with a certain creative conviction, so shall it be.

this mind. this Consciousness, has been given ever so many names by ever so many people - Brahman, Tao, Shiva, Shakti, Vishnu, Buddha, God, Allah, Yahweh, etc. yet the experience of these various conceptual names is the same. it is. it is eternal. it is eternally one, and no other. it is eternally one, and no other but mind. and it is not even that i believe it to be, so it is. rather, it is believed thus, so it is. the small part of our personal mind interfaces flawlessly with the universal mind, such that we are it's isness, and so will reality become as it is created by this universal mind, as is, through us.

how about if we are not dying to nothing, but instead keep living in one form or another, enjoying an existence which is prolonged indefinitely through teleportation to alternate dimensions. whereby what seems to others as our dying is in fact a continuation in another place for us, much as we already know, more or less. i drowned, in a heavy surf, and have no memory of being resuscitated - all that is clear is that there was an all-encompassing white light as which all of the life lived to until then appeared as one perfect bliss-filled moment. and now i am writing at the computer. funny.

perhaps if we can find that place in us that always exists for most below the threshold of consciousness, but is the eternal ground of being, then we might become established in this during this very life. what if, as we consider this to be as eternal infinitely as it appears to be eternal for us temporally, we can slough off the world of materiality at the moment of death and continue as we have learned to in life. what if we can die each moment so fully that we are already established while living in dying, and never need go anywhere. because we can't. because we already are everywhere.

because there is nothing so solid as that which has no substance. as that, we are this. and as me, it is also this. as you, it is this. and as them, it is also this. and what is this? it is eternally one, and no other but universal mind, assuming absolute subjectivity. there is no other. there is no me. there is no everything. but there is awareness. ...awareness is. and however we believe, so will the nature of this awareness manifest. and there is nothing else. for awareness, or Consciousness, is the only one.

now that's heavy. for the rest of the article, only the paragraph headings will be written now - you may fill in the blanks with experiential research and insight, or reject the ideas as not the truth. either way, they are a truth, and as true as any solid-seeming reality:
- it is possible that the absolute mind may be represented to an individual by the form of an anthropomorphised deity. such god/dess may help one, through supplication and worship, achieve what one is meant to achieve, in any sphere of activity, however unlikely.
- a state may be attained wherein any wish consciously held, will manifest. this may not last, and you may not like what you thought you wanted.
- it is said, "if you give up, you'll never get there". but since you is only the absolute subject anyway, and there is no never anywhen, also no place other than where it always is... give up - but don't give up the giving up.
- you only sees yourself, no matter where it looks. i only sees itself, no looking where it matters. matter isn't, doesn't see - seeing doesn't matter (cause materialisation).
- if suicide seems to be the answer, then perhaps the unspoken question is how to get rid of the weeds. try herbicide, but not on your herbs. that'd be suicide.

only Consciousness is, eternally one, and no other but universal mind, assuming absolute subjectivity, and conditioned by belief.
