NONDUALITY: OPEN 24/7 AND QUITE LITERALLY, FOREVER, OR (THE BIZARRE FACTOR)

I think that I was in the nonduality ‘thing’ that people talk about a long, long time ago. Since I was a kid. I was free and identified with everything. I think that once the society comes around, - especially school- it dampens that out. And…what is worse, people who are trapped, which is nearly everyone,- or everyone,- sense it, are jealous of it on a deep and hidden level,- and resent it. You have something they don’t have. Or, - the funny thing is, - they have something you don’t have- what they have is over-identification or identification. It’s like they received a sickness that you did not, - and they and everyone else are infected. Plato about person who is trapped in a cave with others, - and he escapes sees the sun. Then he comes back and tells the others that what they know is not all there is- and they end up not only disbelieving him, but killing him! So, that is how it goes. And the clearer the perception is about it, the more you can see that others are suffering. What is scary crazy to the max! - Is that they are not aware of it, - and are even wearing their identity as a badge of honor- they will die for it if need be. Osho said Gurdjieef used to go up to actors or politicians and say, - you have a good mask. I wonder if any of them understood, or if anyone these days would understand. Well- I had never heard of the words no duality, Vedanta, or advaita until a few years ago. My destiny unfortunately is not to be a teacher of those, or a writer or a photographer, - or anything set it seems- and my vocation or destiny or karma and kismet is definitely not anywhere in or nearabouts the mainstream as in a career. So- I am wherever, - all and nowhere truly. Those are some of the things I think about when I think about what they call nonduality. 

So Nonduality. A word. The reason I like it is because everything and nothing is contained in it so to speak. Other types of spirituality are in a way very harmful because they are presenting intentionally or otherwise a form and a goal. So, if you get the form right you will get the goal. And even then- you will feel victorious. And if you don’t, you will feel lacking. In both rights, - there is a you, whereas in Nonduality there is not a you, just a functioning you, a tool so to speak, - and there is definitely no goal. Now,- you can fall into the nonduality trap as they call it, and go around with only an intellectual repeating, mantra of it and say- There is no goal,- neti-neti (not this or that), and I am not a person. But that is just a front. Real nonduality has nothing to do with words, though words appear in it. Real nonduality is before all that,- is just the sun on the pavement, the rain on crashing on the window, the person walking past, the dog running up a hill, the fan’s motor turning the blades. It is just what is called reality. Yet, - it can encompass everything else, - that is arising, - such as emotions, all of them,-and everything else- how could it not? - If nonduality means ‘not two,’- but one? So nonduality is simply ahead of its time, before time- the ultimate all inclusive, non-exclusive, thing. Nonduality allows all and everything, - not because it is some tolerant dogma, - but because it is simply scientific reality, - reality is One, - because, - and this is plain to me in mind and in senses, - not because God is great or Source is Divine, or anything as romantic as that, - but because how could physical reality be anything else than One, - how could it be separate. This brings up another interesting factor. – There is no cause and effect though the whole world thinks there is. It’s the oddest, most bizarre statement every made (not originally by me) - a few others have said so- a very few I think though- that there is no cause and effect. It’s all one motion, impossible to be separated out. You did not create you though you may think you did. The entire universe, the entire existence, created what is appearing in This as You. And you are the entire Universe. This is not ‘the good news,’ and this is not ‘the bad news.’ This is, if you think of the enormity of these statements, ‘The bizarre news!’

Peace out for now……………………
