The Essence

A Global Belief system? (This writing is a bit tongue in cheek!)

The essence of being is here and now. It is connected with some sense of Divinity. What you either believe or experience is different. Ones experience of Divinity is possibly very similar to anyone else’s, as its only one and the same Divinity. Whereas a great a difference in belief variation occurs. Each individuals belief is slightly or greatly different from anyone else’s. However, there does not seem to be much value in having a religion that is separate from another religion. Go and look at the science around D.N.A., and see where we all started from, and may be you will wonder why then we need war, let alone lots of religions. Separation of any sort is to be avoided for the purposes of being enlightened. It’s probably non-productive globally also, to have so many beliefs, and that is another good reason to have a Unified Stance

Without the Unified Stance, its pointless even think about global harmony, although serenity and peace are attainable in varying degrees. It’s still a here and now individual thing, and anything less is just a mess, or leaning to chaos. How does one attain this state? Actually, it’s probably more about how one is avoiding it. It’s probably about being in a totally normal human space, so just stop doing that other crazy stuff and move towards the Divine within oneself! The Divine that is also oneself!

Well, maybe, we cannot stop doing the crazy stuff. Remember the idea about being powerless over addictions, as espoused in A.A. and N.A. This idea of being ” just powerless” filters down, probably into all aspects of our lives, but with thoughts distorted by ego, we don’t recognize or accept this. If things get bad enough, then you can accept a solution, any solution if it get bad enough. because the whole problem of being a human is seen for what it really is, and the Truth glimmers on the horizon! The solution then, is being seen as surrender to God or to some Higher Power. Or, we see a way out through therapy, psychiatry, and even throw in a little medication!

It is also possible to throw enlightenment away, as we are probably experiencing a lot of Divine moments without even noticing the spirit is here. It’s actually all around us, through us, inside, outside. Where ever. There is a choice to allow our inner guides to let us feel this energy. A guide is just you, but you see it as slightly, or very separate. The guide as you, as a Divine being can be experienced, when all life is Divine. Then any individual part is awesome. Then accept the guru or guides, as you accept your inner thoughts.

You’re say, stop those thoughts. Why? Because those thoughts are not needed. I’m home now. They go around the brain, where they have no function, except to generate reactivity, and anxiety. Why are they there? Good question. I’m just in a play, and they just are part of the dream, and you know it inside in your Truth. Your thought processes, connected to body messages, leverage your human experience. You may want to just leave them alone and try and get through the day, and most people do just this. The human experience may be just what you accept as a given. After all that is why we are here? (You say).

Perhaps its just desire to be a human form, and to stay that way, no matter how painful. Or, it’s just an inheritance decreed by cosmic forces, a God. (Or, “its karma man”). It’s all very mysterious at times. The the followers of any particular religion though, always want to give you specific answers, that “solve” everything. That is their choice of direction in life. Which may also help to drive you more bonkers!

The Buddha says life is suffering.

If you get that and feel it, you probably can be diagnosed as clinically depressed. Take some medication, or if really bad get the electrical shock treatment!

He will be fine. Back to work and society and all that.

Otherwise he will end up on the street, or as an alcoholic.

However the guides say you are Divine. I am Divine. Who is Divine? All is Divine

Do you want to accept this, and what would that mean?

It doesn’t mean anything other than me, and you, as we always were. Just Enlightened!

A simple – I Am.

Therefore one needs a guide, a good teacher. Unless you are already there.

Although, yes, the guru is still human with potentially more foibles than you have..

It is the teaching or guidance that is wanted. Grab that and ignore and rest!

Here is the mantra to get the inner and outer, guru advice and guidance. Repeat it and the guru will come to you in peace and offerings of knowledge.

OM GURU OM
