Basically, all sufferings
come from three notions.
1: Belief that
"I" exists
2: Belief that "You
and I Are Different (dualism)."
3: Try to explain in
words.
Greatest invention of the
evolution is the separation of sexes that has brought on varieties of species,
and it has insured the greatest survival chance on Earth. Therefore our ego is
attached to survival issues. It clings on to our psychic mind and constantly
telling us who we are according to our past conditioning responses to survival
issues. We are trained to think
who we are by the factors.
Evolutionary, we all came from
Lucy in Africa and from the Big Bang. On the conscious level, when we take our ego,
the "I," completely, only the consciousness exits. We were once one
in evolutionary development. We have precluded the truce and educated in the
way that "I" must exist.
Since we believe in the "I," next logical step is to think
that "I" am different from "you" that creates a separation
in our lives. The unity of the sexes is the connection, not the
separation.
Around
2000 BC, something went wrong on Earth. This is when a village or a tribe
started to invade each other’s territories, killing people and pillaging, by
thinking they were different from us. To this day, the first step in starting a
war is to dehumanize enemies by calling them with derogatory words such as
monkeys, gooks, etc. Once we
regard enemies are as nonhuman, we justify killing them. The notion of
separation has created tremendous sufferings.
Last
thing is that we think we can explain everything in words. Most profound
experience cannot be explained in words. If we try, it becomes second rate, at
worst, cheap. For example,
timelessness or bliss is just IS. Thinking
or thought is a perfect catalyst to move away from the consciousness awareness.
It immediately disconnect with WHAT IS experienced. Buddha's last lecture was
to raise a flower; no words were spoken, asking you to connect with the present
moment. Remember, the most important word in AUM (or OM) is the silence after
the "M."
Now the
End of the World had passed, I wish there is a positive consciousness arises at
this season of givings and reflections.
Happy Holidays!
Namaste.
