Nirvana Enlightenment

17 comments

Nirvana/enlightenment is far beyond the description that limited (symbolic) words can reveal… and all words are fragmentary and symbolic. However, one will say this: While that ineffable sacredness occurs (in full) as a visitation, one feels a trillion times more alive than how one felt previously. Additionally, it apparently alters the brain cells, enabling them to function in an even more orderly and insightful way.

So here is the thing: One finds it very curious that a lot of people attempt to spread their concepts about spirituality to others. Such people include priests, gurus, bloggers, writers, followers of organized religions, independents, and firm believers. Essentially, these people have not had the Nirvana/enlightenment visitation occur to them. Yet these very people deem themselves proficient in guiding others. That, one finds, is curiously strange in a big way. It’s truly like the blind leading the blind, and it’s difficult to see.

from E.E. Cummings:

out of the lie of no
rises a truth of yes
(only herself and who
illimitably is)

making fools understand
(like wintery me)that not
all matterings of mind
equal one violet

Transcending Mediocrity…

20 comments

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Intelligence naturally goes beyond mediocrity. It does not remain in the stagnation that many others remain in (and “as”). Unfortunately, too many of us presuppose things. We, with (and “as”) conditioned minds, continue to cling to patterns that we assume are true and noble. This clinging, however, may be largely erroneous. One of the presumptions, that most of us cling to, has to do with an inner belief (or acceptance) in the power and dominance of an ego or central controller. People, all too frequently, talk about altering their behavior or actions for the better. However, the presupposition of a separate ego (that can dominate things and alter things psychologically) may be a significant delusional factor that just contributes to more problems. Such a presupposition may contribute to more false separation, conflict, and further erroneous reactions. It may be that too many of us have accepted the same, old, erroneous game (while all the while thinking that we are correct, somehow better, and intelligent). We are suggesting something about observing beyond accepted norms.

Habitual Thinking…

5 comments

Most people tend to remain reacting in (and “as”) the habit of thinking. They habitually react as one series of thought-patterns after another. These patterns consist of such things as personal issues, political issues, so-called religious issues, and a multitude of other issues. Most people have propensities to remain in (and “as”) reacting patterns of thought/thinking. Instead of being true action, what they are engulfed in is habitual reaction. Mechanistic, symbolic reaction is not living. Please look beyond the realm of secondhand, repetitive processes.

Separation between the Perceiver and the Perceived…

9 comments

Merely seeing via distance and conflicting space (as when the perceiver is separate from the perceived), involves a primitive, fragmentary perception that is not deeply holistic and intelligent. That limited psychological distance, in such a case, involves psychological time and primitive fragmentation. Intelligent, holistic wisdom and compassion exist beyond psychological time and primitive fragmentation. The limited psychological space, between a supposedly centralized ego and what it sees, reflects the primitive ignorance that was erroneously learned and absorbed (in the past).

Many people, these days, admire and worship the superficial forms of so-called intelligence; however, there exists a much deeper and profound intelligence (that exists beyond what they are aware of). Please inquire — on your own — about what looking with profound wisdom and intelligence might entail.
