Post –Enlightenment continued

Previously, I have discussed the use of

Ω. Omega signifies enlightenment, spiritual progress.

Its most prevalent definition is tied to spirituality, bridging the human experience with the divine.

CEP is Conscious Enlightenment Practice

Being Divine

If we accept this sub-title wording and do not seek to hide from it, then here we see it as an internal business, connected to your Ω using your CEP. Or it’s your Inner Deity/Guide.

No matter how intellectually spiritually astute one becomes, if you remain in a certain headspace of basically ego focused need, you ultimately go nowhere. This spiritual dimension cannot be made or experienced by the brains electro-chemical processes. Even if science takes us to longevity, even immortality and cures all mental deficiencies. Researchers cannot be trusted with God!  This is why we seem to need external “divine’ interventions, which as far some of the ancient teaching go, come from our own inner generated spiritual activities. It is sourced via our inner Deity/Guide or Ω, and activated via our CEP. We need to give up on our ego struggle and let our Deity come to the party. We enter, or rather simply exist in, a place powered by something other than who we thought we were. The deeper we go, the more it becomes an easier path, with less frustration about what’s going on in so called real life.

It can seem like our external Deity or God is prominent or taking over, once we have come to be within the follow the Buddha, or Jesus, or Krishna. It can still be seen as essentially a more “simple” a natural native Divinity or Ω that has been uncovered. That is if you see religion as human construct of much time. A construct that was geared to the understanding of people in a past era. Modern science and medicine will seek to prove anything and everything, and current social mores are more geared to social media. By all means stay with the personal external gods, guru, incarnation etc., if that is the choice or your status quo. The spiritual experience or your CEP can be unchanged from what has been described by sages and the wise from millennia ago. What is still the case as far as Enlightenment or Nirvana, was described as Sat, Chit, Ananda, or Existence, Knowledge, Bliss. (Satchitananda is mentioned in an Upanishad circa 4^th century CE). So, a choice can be made to experience this state as a formless position, or as one with form. (Having then the presence of one’s chosen “exterior” Deity)

Then true spiritual reaction is per moment-to-moment life practice. This practice is “un real” in this life, in some sense, as I am the witness of as in a dream. I am truly real as a spiritual being. Experience all within and without, as the Divine, (or Ω etc.), when connected to the eternal Consciousness. Oneness is like being just one drop of water, which is not different in substance from all the water in a lake. Eventually that drop of consciousness merges into the Cosmic Consciousness.

Mental health & science

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 human 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 drilled down to 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!

The Divine is perfect and complete, and emanations from the Divine, 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 the chosen mantra can heal the craziness and allow different spiritual insights. 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 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 doing 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 purpose? Then there is the pursuit of scientific evidence for the existence of God. (So it gets weirder).

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.
