Beyond Society’s “Time”…

January 29, 2026
6 comments

We are all so entrapped in concepts of time that we have absorbed from our primitive society. Sure, you have to use time to make it to your doctor’s appointment appropriately (i.e., on time). But don’t foolishly let time cause you to, for instance, fear death.

Wisdom dwells in (or “as”) the present, but that present is not of time. Such dwelling is timeless, and it involves attention beyond the clutches of thought/thinking. Thinking, though often necessary, takes time; it is time-oriented; it is time. Sorrow stems from thought/thinking, and a timeless life exists beyond much sorrow. A mind that wisely psychologically dies to the clutches of thought/thinking may exist as a timelessness beyond sorrow. There is an immeasurable, spiritual timelessness that is wiser and deeper than, and untouched by, the limitations of the clock.

Motives for Eons…

January 22, 2026

For eons — for millions of years — we looked in order to gain or acquire something. We looked primitively, through (and “as”) a screen of separation. For the most part, we did not look simply and holistically, beyond motives and desires. Desires often tend to make one limited; between a “you” and “what you want” exists a limited space (of deficiency). This limited deficiency involves a “perceiver” of limitation, and a limitation involving a space between what is and what is wanted.

Simple looking (without technique) may break free of the aforementioned limitation. Such “looking” need not involve separation, such as between the “perceiver” and the perceived. Observing without a motive and without separation may be a pristine awareness that transcends mere mechanical effort and striving. An isolated, limited ego cannot do it, unfortunately. Most people don’t care about this.

Psychological Order and Sanity…

January 15, 2026

When one reads the news or watches the news on television, one sees how terribly disorderly the human world is. This disorder is a reflection of each one’s inner disorder. Most people are not deeply orderly in the psychological sense. We are fragmented inwardly, and this inner fragmentation reflects as humanity’s outer separative governments, religions, and politics. This inner fragmentation, for instance, often consists of an image of a “controller” thinking that he (or she) is something separate from the controlled. It is taken for granted that one (image) of a controller is in charge and is making decisions (as a separate center). We tend to see and react from (and “as”) separation and conflict, and this separation and conflict reflect as disorderly reactions in society. Great order and great spirituality are not two separate things.

Thoughts as Reactions

January 8, 2026

The last time that i wrote a more lengthy post, one wrote about how thoughts are primarily reactions. And living mostly as reactions makes a person robotic and mechanical. Existing as endless reactions keeps one stuck in limited time, for time consists of a series of reactions (all immersed in sequential causality).

Certain people will — philosophically or supposedly spiritually — say that you should exist in the “now.” However, if that “now” is just a continuation from a remembered “then”, then it really isn’t hitting the mark; it is then probably just another limitation. The real “now” is not merely a point in recognized time, but a timeless dimension in which the conditioning of the past does not interfere. It’s not what can be obtained by practice, desire, or clever reactions. It is not what can be obtained by the thought of a “perceiver” that thinks it is separate from the perceived.
