Justifying the past

Justifying the past

It seems to be a normal tendency to look back and say, “oh I did that, why did I do that, what a mistake”, or even, “how stupid of me”.

In the deepest Realised place it is not necessary to have examination of what happened.

If you throw out the garbage, the rubbish, it’s just going out, and it’s not necessary to check every little bit in the rubbish bag.

Consciousness is how it was, as how it is, and how it will be, something else, anything else may be without great meaning.

Even so we may want to live in what is a bit of a museum, and interpret things over and over.

Therefore to move into the state of Realisation, is to be in a place which is essentially undefinable, and cannot be connected to by words and language. (Even though religions and spiritual teachings “have a go”).

One’s own Divinity is already in perfection, and what happened and will happen, it’s still within that Cosmic Consciousness.

We are what we think, and when we start think Divine, we start to move beyond “mere human”. We become what we think.

It does not mean that the world does not exist. Some philosophers and spiritual practitioners call the world illusory. (Maya). That may be just another attempt to explain the inexplicable.

When we experience the Truth of existence, the true reality, we comprehend what I call,” Life and the Universe”.

In the universe we can enter into a nameless space in the ether of the cosmos around us. This is also within our hearts when we meditate. The Divine is not just out there, or not just some god sitting in the clouds growing his beard!

Ideas of God again are the product of history, many religions, and many thoughts of philosophers.

Some call it the great Buddhist Void, and in Post-Vedic times it was Existence, Knowledge, Bliss. (Sat, Chit, Ananda)

The great sages, seers, and teachers say that we are in sync with the truth of God in terms of sound, (becoming form), form, and can go beyond sound also into the soundless etheric space. (The Akasha).

In any moment and time this present is what is available, what can be known, and this is where the mind can expand in mindfulness meditation to become united with the source of all, or one with the Cosmic Self.

It does not matter too much about a journey, as every experience can also be seen as part of the Divine Learning Experience, and be recognised as totally purposeful. (With no experience needing of any judgement to be added on)

When we accept who we are in Truth we claim our Divinity. We claim our Oneness with the Higher Power, the divine Goddess. (Or “God”, if you insist on the archaic, outdated descriptor)!

When we do this we can also begin to demonstrate in our practical lives more than just survival. We move past fear, addictions, depression, anxiety, and whatever it is that troubles us as a human.

Again we accept those experiences of pain through mental struggles as part of Divine Learning.

But, we move beyond them!

if we continue to choose to deny our own Divinity, we are denying the Divine in all. We remain a human who wants God to fix us, or some other “version”. (The incarnation, the Guru, the Buddha, the Jesus). We want to be fixed and stay human, really so that we don’t have to take on the enormous responsibility incurred when we fully surrender to Truth. (Or to God/Goddess).

Most religions will not give you permission!

To embody yourself in your true identity is heretic, and certainly you are not given permission, by most of society, to “allow” you to Realise your Divinity throughout your whole physical body. Then it becomes required that you remain in fear. Fear because of separation. Where there is many there is no Unity. When we are one with the Cosmic Being we become fearless.

And in fearlessness we lose are anxiety, sadness and our obsessions!
