"Reality relativity and relationship advice is intended
to clarify the perception of the ever present obstacles facing mankind both
through external propaganda and his own psychological conditioning. Mankind
is possessed with all manner of ancient illusions that still plague and
imprison him today. To live a life, harmonious with intelligence, one has to
understand the entire superficiality of propaganda. How propaganda has
psychologically enslaved the mind of mankind and brought into being the
fragmented world we live in today. Only truth will set man free." Excerpts
from:: ' Equilibrium of Effortlessness, The Secret Science'
Since the dawn of time mankind has lived and
suffered within a perpetual sea of sorrow of his own making
His driving ambition
and desires are the constant projection of deep
rooted fears,
anxiety, greed, and deceit
His
endless pursuit of pleasure is the key disintegrating factor of
his sorrow.
The want and craving of a self-centered human
mind in its endeavour to cover up or evade,
loneliness, emptiness and isolation
This remains the state of
humanity today.
Humans
beings are intrinsically the same the world over, regardless of gender,
nationality, space or time,
There is nothing new here, these
conditions and pre-conditions have been imbedded
within consciousness over many thousands of years.
Circumstance, environment, climate,
propaganda, tutors, acquaintances, tradition and rather stupid ancestors have produced and conditioned us all.
We are all trapped
and enslaved by our past. We are the product of the past. We are attached
and possessed by the past.
This is not wild speculation, a biased
opinion or a banal belief.
It is not just another pointless point of view.
It is an absolute
irrefutable fact that even a
blind man can see.
Human consciousness is a contaminated
cacophony of propaganda.
We are the sum total
of the past and deeply rooted in the fear of coming to an abrupt
or sudden end the human mind desperately clings
to that which it knows and identifies itself with, the known, which is
memory, our past conditioning.
What is the meaning of
your life, what is your lot?,
Is it merely the continuity of stress,
confusion and complex problems? A daily perpetual, monotonous struggle. A
pre-programmed
reaction in crisis management?
Or is there something beyond this
tremendous, treacherous torment. This mess, that we call, life?
I say that to know yourself, to
understand yourself is the catalyst that will transform your life and free
the mind beyond conditioning.
To
free the mind one must see beyond all the elements that time has
created and discover a state of mind in which time does not exist.
We have to
discover for ourselves, a psychological state in which there is no time
and that can only be done in the now.
Time
being the measurement of your conditioning. The past, the present, the (so
called)
future, the expanse and duration of your conditioning.
So,
no time, no conditioning, full stop.
Have
you never asked yourself, 'what is truth', where can I find truth,
who on earth understands truth and even if they did understand or know
truth, how would, 'I know' and what does it matter or mean to me anyway?
....yes,...no,.... well listen. Only truth will set you free.
To see that the
known, the whole of memory is the past, is the clarity of perception in
the now.
To
perceive truth is to see what actually is now, instantly. The perception
of what is now, does not take time.
Obviously you can not take time to transform yourself as time is merely
the continuity of your conditioning.
Indeed, there
is no positive or negative action to take.
Therefore, without doing anything and through the clarity of perception
now, a tremendous change takes place within us.
This is the
'equilibrium of effortlessness' from which comes pure joy and delight.
We
can see that time will not change us and that time only leads to more
conflict, more confusion, more conditioning, more contradiction and that the
demand for the 'more' is the essence of all our struggles and problems.
To see that, is
intelligence.
The
clarity of that perception in the now, is the transformation of your life,
instantly.
There is only the now, that which is, everything else is not.

There is no path, no guru or external
agency, nobody can
teach you about yourself except yourself.
Nobody on this earth
or anywhere else can teach you the truth, you have to discover it for
yourself, you have to do all the work, That is your job, your life.
Never follow or believe anybody
regardless of what they say, do or who they think they are. They will only
lead you up their peculiar garden path, which is stupid and you will wind up
none the wiser.
Can you discover, on
your own, not only
the main concern of your life but also the significance of existence
itself?
Now, without referring to the myriad of
explanations expounded in so many book, by so many, so-called experts, what do you know for
yourself?
What do you know about yourself for
yourself, not second hand information but, direct
perception of yourself by yourself? Surely this is your main concern.
Not what others think, say or do. Let them get on with their own
rubbish.
Do you have clarity
of perception, an acute awareness of your own daily activities? Do
you understand your motives, desires, actions and behavior? Do you see why, how
and what you
actually think and feel? In other words, are
all your
senses as one, whole, crystal clear, sharp and alert?
This means that the instrument of observation, awareness, is
observing and aware of itself in everything it does. Watching, listening with total attention to every movement of
the body, mind and thought.
Every second, every
minute, of every day and night, even during sleep.
Now
is not the mind, body etc. the very instrument of attention.
Is
it not a fact that, there is no self, only attention. No inside or
outside, so to speak. No time, no past, no future, only now,...indivisible, ... which is
timeless, awareness?

We are sold and so easily
manipulated by words. Any good copywriter (if there is such a thing)
will confess that they make a substantial living out of manipulating the
hypnotic suggestion embedded within every word.
Our whole life seems to be driven by words. (Take a second look
at the opening sentence). Fear,
greed, pleasure, ambition, desire and
deceit.
This is what we
are, what we have
actually become. That is our reality.
Words have evolved over many thousands
years and the character and meanings are contained within the very
language we hear and speak today.
Let us consider for a moment, words
themselves, the sound, the vibration, the sensation, the quality.
Every word carries it's own weight and
density according to our particular and peculiar conditioning.
The
depth and meaning of words go to make up the whole psychological
content and movement of
thought.
Every thought, every sentence, every
word comes from and is born of memory and memory is itself logged in and
recorded through word forming thoughts.
Memory is that indelible impression of
previous experiences retained within the brain cells. The movement of words,
this constant pursuit of words or thought waves is the vortex of
illusion.
It
is not real, it does not exist except as some sort of
bio-electrical pulse, yet to us it is reality. We base our entire reality
therefore upon illusion.
All movement of this vortex is the
perpetuation and continuity of illusion. We
understand this process as thinking.
The whole movement of thought,
thinking, is
merely the reaction of the brain, memory, according to the words that have
conditioned it.
There is no such thing as freedom of
thought or free thinking.
All thought is tethered
and a slave to its conditioning. A pre-programmed reaction.
However you respond to these words
written here, will be according to your conditioning, you have no choice in
the matter.
You may 'think' you have a choice but if
you look a little closer you will see it is a conditioned response.
Only confused people choose and confusion
is the core of the whole movement of thinking, thought attempting to unravel itself.
We like to 'think' thought is free
flowing, but
that is mere vanity and ego, which, by the way, is the pure food and energy
that feeds thought itself.
The illusion goes on.
It is a self perpetuating mechanism of increasing
complexity.
So what do we mean when we say, simple,
love, life,
beauty, kindness, affection, compassion, generosity or goodness?
How can we investigate these or discover
anything new if the instrument we use to observe is founded in this vortex
of illusion, the dead past?
There is nothing new in memory and thought
Have you not noticed,
you can never think of anything new. It is only when the old past is quite
that you discover and see something new.
You can not
predetermine or bring about the new.
Can the brain look at all this without
any movement, without judging, without doing anything,
just be still, silent?
Top Page
All words are labels.
What lies behind these labels, beyond the word and thought?
Can we look at anything for itself
without thought interfering.
If we are looking for meaning beyond
the word we must first understand the very word itself.
The word 'life' is
obviously not life it is only a name, a description, a reference to
that thing called life.
So, if you ask, what is the
meaning or significance of
life? You must look beyond the word but not away from it.
Obviously the
meaning of life is, to live.
Anything else is to digress, an escape, a
movement away
from the fact.
What is the
significance of love, but to
love? What is affection but to be affectionate? What is
the reality of goodness, kindness but to be good and to be kind?
To find the
answer to any question, you must look
into the question itself.
In understanding the question, the
question is resolved.
One
should also bear in mind that:
If
one asks
the wrong question, one will get the wrong answer.
So it is imperative to,
'ask the right
question'.
What is the right question?
What is the root of all questions,
regardless?
Is it not that,' you do not know?'
If you already knew the answer,
you would not ask the question in the first place.
Questions you ask yourself
occur because, intrinsically, you
do not know.
If you ask a question of yourself, what
is love, beauty, kindness, affection, goodness or anything, it is a good
indication that you do not know these things.
You do not know love, you
have no kindness, goodness or whatever you will, in your being,
or at least
not within the vortex of thought, the grand illusion called the 'self' - 'me'.
After all, there really is no such thing as, 'the thinker', there is only
the movement of thought.
To see and look beyond the word is to
negate the self. The 'thinker' being a mere bundle of
words retained within memory.
Remove the word, remove the past,
remove the self, remove the question, remove the pursuit, remove time, it
is all the same thing.
Look again without the word interfering.
Take off all the labels (especially your own name,
which is the core of it all) and words that time has invented and perceive the
whole, now.
It is words that
fragments the brain and our perception. If you stop naming and labeling
you will stop the fragmentation of the mind.
The
'me' is the fragmentation because it separates itself from the whole.
Top Page
The 'self' - 'me', which is made up of
everything you know from birth
and more, is merely the residue of the past. It
comprises the sum totality of your conditioning.
The
many years of propaganda
that have been rammed down your throat, the dead past,
have all been recorded in the
brain through words.
There is nothing new in the mind, whether conscious
or unconscious. Memory is always old and has no existence except through
the regurgitation of thought itself.
Human beings worship and praise thought
and knowledge, and man measures man by the extent of his knowledge but
there is nothing new and alive in this static database
of the past, called knowledge.
Knowledge is always of the past,
you can only know that which has already
been and gone.
Knowledge, data, information is really a
dead thing and has
nothing to do with intelligence.
Intelligence on the other hand is the
living observation of facts,
to see the truth, to see the false, to passively observe that which
actually is.
To see that all
knowledge is the past, is an actual fact. It is the living truth and
therefore intelligence.
All fear, pain, suffering, sorrow, grief,
are the tragic products of thought, knowledge, memory.
It
actually is the movement of thought attempting to secure itself, to stabilize
and make static the ever changing world we live in.
The friction of false complacency being ripped asunder.
The movement of thought is the sea of sorrow
flowing between the banks of fear and pleasure.
Pursuit and avoidance is the actual action of thought.
It can never know love, beauty, kindness and
goodness.
Fear and pleasure has nothing to do with these things.
Thought, knowledge is fragmented by its very nature and can never be or
become whole.
Love, beauty, kindness are wholesome
and can only come into being when this vortex of illusion, the fragmented
products of thought, the pursuit of
pleasure and the avoidance of fear come to an end in the living
present, which is now.
Nothing
thought can do, can ever bring this about.
So what can thought do? - nothing.
It can never touch that silent,
peaceful, calm,
which is most holy.
Listen, look, and learn.
Do nothing, be nothing, here
is the indivisible, the immeasurable, the unfathomable unknown.
When
you are not, it is.
To discover the essence
of mind one must come upon it in silence.
Top Page
When you see that you are the center,
the core of knowledge, that you are that knowledge, there is no escape.
No
matter how expansive, how vast, how learned that knowledge is it is still
shallow, limited and very superficial.
Knowledge may be able to produce some
marvelous technological wonders that benefit mankind but it is still
rather trivial, superficial.
There are two forms of manifestation
within creation,
which are:
-
'The product of
nature'
That which is natural. Not the endeavor of mankind
-
'The product of
thought'
Knowledge, the brain, human
endeavor.
That is
obvious you may think but consider these statements:
"All the knowledge
of all the scientists in the entire world cannot produce a single blade of
grass".
"Of
all the religions, the so called gurus and holy men that have ever
existed, nothing is more holy or sacred than 'life' itself".
So it is very important to see and
realize the limitation of knowledge per se, not just your knowledge but
the entire mechanism of knowledge that goes to make up human consciousness.
It may come as a bit of a shock to
observe the pettiness of your own brain in its trivial pursuit but surly wisdom begins by seeing
for yourself just how stupid you are.
The very observation is the going
beyond, the transformation, the liberation.
Intelligence is illumination on
ignorance. In the light, darkness can not exist.
To see you are a slave to yourself is the beginning of freedom. It is the
awakening from the dead past.
When the 'me', the center, the past, which is unawareness, comes to an
end, through awareness, there is the new, the unknown.
The unknown is now and you are that
unknown.
You
can not 'know', the now.
You are nothing and no amount of knowledge can fill that
nothingness, that emptiness that has no beginning or end.
That emptiness
is total freedom because all conflict, endeavor and struggle have come to an end.
The new is always in the living, active, present and you are that or
should I say, it is.
Living is
an endless ending where life and death are inseparable. After all,
liberation is freedom from all that is known, to die to the past, now.
When all pain, sorrow and fear end. Seeing
it, attention, awareness, is the ending of it.
Death, ending, is the awakening,
is life. One must awaken to death.
Then is there such a thing as death, when
death comes to an end?
When there is no gap, no
interval between life and death then the ending of the old is the new.
That is the liberation, the joy of life.

Thought struggles to unravel itself
from problems but thought created these problems, it is the problem.
All
effort to overcome itself is a waste of energy
One cannot find peace or silence by
increasing the noise.
Surly silence, peace is when noise is not. You are
the noise.
How can a confused mind do anything,
create anything but confusion, stress and more conflict?
If you see this - you are this - it
stops - it is as simple as that.
You can do nothing about it, except
observe, watch it.
This is the attention that puts an end
to inattention.
It must come to an end effortlessly, peacefully.
The
new beginning is the ending of the old.
In silent observation
comes the perception of the whole. Can you not see that, that immensity is
here, now.

What is mans fundamental problem?
Is it
not that his conditioned mind is in opposition to another persons
conditioning, ideology?
So basically we are exactly the same, one ideology
verses another ideology.
That is the insanity of humanity.
At best we
introduce tolerance and we thereby tolerate each other's illusions, each
other's insanity.
It is not so much as people fighting each other but the
conflict of ideals, ideas and ideology.
How can man ever resolve his fundamental
problems without first facing this basic fact.
Surly this issue concerns every human
being.
The battle of static intransigence.
Stick to your guns or stick to the
devil you know, so to speak.
Never listening, never looking, never learning.
Fundamentally there
is no reality or should I say no truth in any ideas, ideals or ideology, whatsoever. They
are all figments of the imagination. A corruption and distortion of the good clean, clear
mind.
You may have been conditioned by all
sorts of nonsense for many, many years and to you that is reality but in
truth, in fact, it
is completely false an illusion. That is your life.
We have become second hand human
beings. Unable to think and see clearly for ourselves. Always quoting
other people or some book or other.
We seem to be incapable of behaving and being
responsible for ourselves.
Without going into it, you can see how
superficial the whole movement of thought is.
Look at the problems it has created, all sorts of
wars, tyrannies, genocide, tribalism, nationalism, all based on ideology, thought, all an illusion.
The madness is, that we worship this catastrophe,
when it should be seen for what it is and put away, be done with.
The question is, can we be done with
it?
Can the mind empty itself?
After all, Freedom
Is A State Of Mind.
But that's another
story.
