I see dead blog…

April 17, 2008 at 7:57 pm (Personal)

Man… this blog is dead. I don’t know what to talk about that isn’t already in the books of many awesome authors like Adyashanti, OSHO, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra etc.

You guys will just have to make do with my personal experiences.

One thing I noticed recently in retrospection was that I questioned authorities and supposed truths a lot. I noticed this when my hairstylist commented that it is a fortunate thing that I didn’t turn astray due to my parents’ divorce. I got this comment quite a bit, but this time it really got me thinking.

I did turn rebellious. Not in the Ah Beng go whack people way… but in the “Why must this thing be this way?” kinda way. And also how can people read one article and believe everything in it without questioning it’s credibility?

Somehow, I feel rebelliousness is really a requirement for someone to be on the path to enlightenment.

Enlightenment ain’t for sheeps. MEHHHHHH.

I’m just thinking out loud, pardon me. :D

Q&A with David R. Hawkins

March 12, 2008 at 10:01 pm (Ego)

Q: We note that your lectures always start with the same opening statement, “Everything is happening of its own; nothing is causing anything else.”

A: The belief in linear causality is a basic axiom of the whole structure of the ego/mind dualistic belief system. To see through that illusion is the most important and greatest leap available for getting closer to comprehending Reality.

It is critical to grasp that the illusion of linear causality as an explanation for the observed phenomena of life is the major and most profound limitation of thinkingness. It is the major block that cannot be transcended even by intellectual geniuses who characteristically calibrate at 499. The intellect which serves to aid the progress of civilization becomes entrenched in the psyche and becomes the major obstacle to Realization. Although causality (calibration 426) is a major illusion, it is really not a difficult one to solve once it is disassembled.

Mentation, reason, logic, and language are all structured dualistically, based on the axiom that there is a subject and an object, that there is a ‘this’ doing or causing a ‘that’. Reason strives to find a connection between a witnessed phenomenon and some antecedent which is most commonly located in prior time. Logic then concludes that what precedes an event must somehow be its ’cause’ or explanation. It confuses temporal sequence with causation.

The term “cause” is an abstract hypothesis, a tautology, an intellectualization which has no concordant substrate in reality. It is at best an operational supposition to satisfy the mind’s requirement for an ‘explanation’. Fallacy arises out of the mind’s proclivity to ask the redundant and fatal question “Why?”

We have stated elsewhere that there is no ‘why’ to anything in Reality and, in fact, no ‘why’ can be answered and still stay within Reality. All answers to “why” questions are intrinsically fallacious as they require a jump from verifiable observables to hypothetical suppositions which are all mentations.

Events and conditions have a source or origination but not a cause. The concept of ’cause’ limits comprehension to content only, whereas, in reality, all content is subject to context. This is the very crux of the understanding that allows consciousness to jump from 499 to the 500s.

Neither God nor Truth can be found within the limitation of content only for, by simple observation, content is only definition or description whereas context supplies meaning, significance, and concordance with the reality of existence itself. This is important to comprehend not only in spiritual work but also in everyday social and political policies.

To fail to properly contextualize content has historically been the basis for the slaughter of millions of people in every century throughout human history. To ignore context is the greatest source of catastrophe for every generation of man, and it continutes on in the present time with the same catastrophic consequences. There is no greater lesson that needs to be learned to reduce human suffering and bring ignorance to an end.

Cool quotes from a friend…

March 1, 2008 at 12:20 pm (Love and Acceptance)

This is from a pretty enlightened guy named Ariel.

“LOVE PORN!

LOVE EVERYTHING!

That which you resist persists. That which you look at disappears. When you accept it and love it totally, its power over you will vanish like a fart in the wind. ;)

Where did your love of porn come from? You’re designed by nature, by GOD, to love sex and subsequently porn. It’s in your biology. It’s instinctual. Repression is not going to get rid of those feelings. As you found, they’ll eventually make themselves known, one way or another.

As with everything, just bring in the power of Love and Acceptance and it will naturally sort itself out.

In my life, I’ve chosen to fall in Love with literally EVERYTHING. Thus, I BECOME Love. Nothing outside of me can change that, increase it, or lessen it. Wanking it to porn may bring pleasure to the body, but it in no way brings any additional Love into this life. I AM Love. I Love everyone and everything. I can simply choose to enjoy porn and thus enjoy jerking off whenever I choose to do so.

And ironically, because it’s no longer some sort of “forbidden fruit,” I have no more desire to wank it due to lust consciousness. The only time I wank it is when I choose to connect to someone on a heart-to-heart level, deliberately.

Seriously… just Love everything! Including sex and porn and women and men. Call nothing wrong. Judge nothing, nor condemn. Just Love it ALL.”

Stay light,
Roy

Some Parents Shouldn’t Have Kids

February 25, 2008 at 9:12 pm (Ego)

Recently, I keep coming across kids from well-to-do families but are given such miserly allowance so much so that they have to work part-time or scrimp and save. What in the blue hell is up with that?

Let’s dissect this.

One probable reason is that a lot of rich parents have this unquestioned fear that if they give enough money to their children, they will somehow become spoilt and bratty. That is not true. Teach the child how to spend his money. Proper education is the solution, not planting a scarcity mentality.

Another reason is selfishness. A lot of people are selfish, and that includes parents. Many parents are selfish in giving their children not just money, but also love, care and support. Even parents have this illusion that They are They, and Their Children is Their Children. Once again, the human Ego.

In the grand scheme of things, money is not important. Becoming more conscious is. Planting the sense of lack in children will just add another distraction called ‘money’ into their path.

Thanks for listening,

Roy

Something New…

February 24, 2008 at 5:44 pm (Ego, Meditation)

Hey guys!

I just bought <Power vs. Force> by David R. Hawkins and so far it’s a damn good read. I’ll update more as I go through it.

I’m in the middle of some new realizations and I’ll share when I can test that it’s really true. Let’s just say it has something to do with monkeys, chickens and bishops. *wink*

Till then, stay light :)

Fake Confidence vs True Confidence

February 12, 2008 at 9:06 am (Ego, Meditation)

The problem with starting a blog years after I started down this path is that I’ll leave out a lot of the more fundamental stuff that I figured out/realized long ago.

One of them relates to confidence.

For most people, the confidence that they know is a result of knowing or believing that he is better than somebody or something.

I am (or I can finally be) confident because:

  • I am richer than him
  • I am more handsome than him
  • I lay more chicks than him
  • More people like me
  • I have better results than that ITE guy
  • I am better than I was

It is obvious that this type of confidence is conditional and therefore not real. In the absence of the conditions that gave a person his confidence, he will feel diminished. For example, someone who prides himself for his good looks is not going to be confident anymore when he is disfigured by an acid splash.

True confidence is a natural state. It is a result of knowing the falsehood of any of the above conditions.

No conditions can be the real You. Whether a person is or think he is worthy/unworthy, beautiful/ugly or rich/poor, it is ultimately not Him.

In the realization of the True Self, there is True Confidence. They are synonymous.

Hope that makes sense.

A Great Post by Brent Smith

February 3, 2008 at 8:44 pm (Ego, Meditation)

There’s a Hindu legend that says we were all once gods.  But eventually we abused our powers. Brahma, the chief god, decided to punish us by taking away our divinity.  Brahma called a meeting of the other chief gods to figure out where to hide our holiness.  One god suggested hiding it deep beneath the earth.

“No,” Brahma said, “man will just figure out a way to tunnel miles below the surface.”

Another god suggested hiding our holiness at the bottom of the ocean.

“No,” Brahma responded, “man will just learn how to dive to the seabed.”

A third god came up with the idea of placing our divinity on top of a towering mountain.

“No,” Brahma said, “man will just climb every tall mountain on the planet until he finds it.”

Stumped, the other gods told Brahma they gave up-there didn’t seem to be any place to hide our holiness and keep it out of our reach.

“Wait,” Brahma said with a smile.  “I’ve got it. We’ll hide man’s holiness deep within himself-he’ll never think to look for it there.” Since then, we’ve spent ages digging below the earth, diving to the sea floor, and climbing tall mountains, looking for something that’s already within us.

I’ve met a lot of unhappy people in the course of my life and you all have one thing in common…you constantly search outside yourself for happiness. When things get bad you convince yourself that moving to a different city, changing jobs or dating hotter women is the obvious answer.  But after making these changes, that familiar restlessness feeling starts again.  You’re stunned to learn that wherever you go, whatever you do, whatever you acquire and whomever you’re with aren’t working.  Your unhappiness has actually followed you.  In reality, there is no place to hide…you’ll have to deal with it right now where you are today.  The good news is this means you have the potential to be happy.  The bad news is your happiness is your own responsibility.  You’re the only one who can allow yourself to be happy. No one and nothing else can do it for you.  Not even me or my newsletters.

So instead of rushing to leave this life behind by moving out of town, leave this life behind by dealing with it now and changing what you don’t like about it.

Then, if you decide you want an adventure by moving to a new city you’ll be doing it for the right reasons, have an actual chance of succeeding and you won’t be stalked by your old adversary.

Socializing

February 3, 2008 at 2:45 am (Meditation, Personal)

Ninety percent of all people’s activities are utterly useless, What you call socializing, talking, meeting people, is almost all rubbish. It is good that it drops, when you become alert it drops.

Rather than talking the whole day, gossiping, you become a person of few words, but these few words will be significant. Now, only real relationships will remain.

A few deep intimate relationships are enough, that are really fulfilling. In fact, people who don’t have intimate relationships usually have many relationships to substitute. You can have one thousand friends that will not make for one real one.

Sadly, that’s what most people ever does. Talk all day about insignificant stuff and have friends like how many children a rat can have in its life time. They think that quantity can be a substitute for quality. It never does.
