The Maintenance segment of the Wheel –live forever!

Find the True Self – then you are the Transcendental One. Then……?

That there is scientific research about spirituality and mental health is telling. Somehow science has lost the plot and now wants to go back to the Stone Age when humans began worshiping. Why are scientists interested in something that millions have accepted for thousands of years? It’s even reaching into psychiatry with the neuro-scientific exploration of religious and spiritual phenomena. In other words, let’s prove that it’s all in the mind. So for once psychiatry has got it spot on. Yes it is all in the mind! Life and the Universe: everything and anything is but a product of Maya, which is if expressed at the individual level, is but a mind product. It’s all fantasy, so why treat it? With medication, therapy, etc.? Actually medication use is very logical. We eat food, we ingest substances, and we have always been a bunch of self-medicators. Goes with the territory, so don’t knock those clever chemists who seek to make us feel good. And yes, science will enable us to live forever and beat all disease, and be happy. Yeah right! Whatever. Do you want to stay in Samsara and continue to suffer? Forever? If not then do not live forever – ever!

(Saṃsāra (Devanagari: संसार) is a Sanskrit word that means “wandering” as well as “world”).

The Divine/Goddess/Higher Power / Ω, is perfect and complete, and emanations which, such as this world of Life and the Universe, are complete in purpose, though it all seems crazy from a disturbed mind perspective. Be it your belief in the Goddess as the creatrix, or God as Him, or as the Big Bang. Whatever is produced in this Cosmic Consciousness is interconnected with sound. Therefore, in my experience, Mantras heal the craziness and allow different perspectives. It can seem very slow, especially if you are feeling some agitation. Remember though, you are not your body and mind. You are the “witness”. Your natural state is Sat, Chit, Ananda. – Existence, Knowledge, Bliss.

Science may have advanced regarding the field of longevity. This field of research is still in its early stages, so most of us will be “dead and gone” before the wonders of this “new – new-age” hits us. There will be an ever increasing interest in enabling a science based, advancement of life on earth. (An earth which may not exist due to global warming, wars, Covid etc.). However the main issue seems to be avoided – what is our True Identity, and purpose?

At least there is a growing and significant consideration of spirituality even at a scientific level. This may be happening more and more in the world, even though the daily news says we are doomed to kill each other, or some pandemic will do the job. Now scientist are interest in spiritual matters I am proposing that we side step spirituality and create a new paradigm to express our Journeys to Self-Realisation. So that we can also stay one or more steps ahead of science!

The Permanent Exit – from Maintenance

I like the Wheel as per previous blogs, because it has a Permanent Exit, which is a very interesting perspective for those on The Journey, especially those reaching Self-Realisation, Enlightenment or Nirvana.

In the Buddhist Nirvana we want to exit this round of births and deaths – this Samsara.

Yet Bodhisattvas come back on earth to “save us’. So does the next incarnation of Jesus, the next incarnation of Vishnu –as Kalki, and the Mahdi – a messianic deliverer who will fill earth with justice and equity.

Three seems to be some variability in the reality of a Permanent Exit as displayed in the Wheel of Change, as per previous segment.  I have included because it also fits with Post-Enlightenment perspectives.

We can permanently exit Samsara if we choose. We can stay here if we choose, although according to the Wheel, if we keep moving, the next step is Relapse! My view is that the Journey to Self-Realisation when undertaken to completion, ultimately will illumine, in True Wisdom, all the options that are available. It becomes a matter of our Inner Deity/Guide promoting what is relevant to our individual case. There is no right or wrong! It is also not a Journey continued, as we are no longer the doer –we are the witness, and what next happens is a special case event. We run on in life just like an engine that has no more fuel. If we are going downhill we could keep going indefinitely. However Cosmic Forces also come into play as the one who is Transcendent is also perfected in terms of Being. In Sanskrit such a being is called a Siddha. Cosmic laws apply and then we are in the field of Quantum Physics, A.I., and “miracle events’ – things that happen, that shouldn’t. (The topic of the Siddha is one component of my Pathway as enumerated in Om Divine Grace Yoga).

There is another more mundane reason why there is often no exit from what I call the Wheel of No Change.
