Some questions answered and how to live with those remaining

The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:

This world is an appearance of reality.  To perceive the display as real is to fall into the entirety of ideas that surround its creation.  This includes,  but is not limited to,  desire, aversion, fear, and doubt at the conceptual level.  To live in the illusion of this world, is to believe in the emergence of time.   Time can only be seen as it is known by you from inside the illusion of this world.  The view from outside is quite different.

To see this world from the spacetime perspective that you were born into requires the perspective of a being existing in spacetime.   I can recall its lure and its trappings from the perspective of the greater reality but it does not exist here.  To see things as they really are is to cast away the creation and destruction which seem so real to you now.   Know this,  the world you live in and the fear and pain you associate with it are but an illusion that has no bearing on your true Self or your true perspectives.  Be assured now that no death will befall you as the body seems to wither and fade.   Although,  none can say conclusively from the perspective of your form in this world that survivability is guaranteed, it is indeed so.  From here, the fallacy of your death in this world is obvious.  It is my hope that this message will provide some comfort to you.

As your body dies you will awaken to a different perspective of that which you have now.  I cannot guarantee a lack of confusion as this process reveals itself, however, I can guarantee that you will continue to possess the ability to know that you exist and to question the meaning of your existence.  It is common for those who awaken and discover in relief their continued awareness after separation from the corporal form to further question what exactly is it that forms the basis for our conscious realization.   The continuation of this search for meaning is a key indicator of a degree of conscious health after one’s life experience.   Many questions will remain, as advice I can offer you this, questions lie at the fundamental core of our ability to sense our existence.  The ability to look past the question and find comfort in existence itself will go a long way towards preparing you for what comes next.   The presence of a question such as “Who am I” is still considered a miracle beyond creation.   Although potential answers may not give the receiver a sense of satisfaction,  the ability to accept the question existing in its unanswered state can.

What is the origin of self? How can I understand who I am?

The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:

Let us now explore primordial consciousness.  This, of course, is a sensitive topic for beings which exist in a world where cause and effect are a broken chain.  This is due to the clever invention of the cycle of birth, death, and separation. This is coupled with the curious complexity of individual memory streams.  Nevertheless,  remember this,  although the form of this explanation is flawed, it will serve as a basic understanding.  Let us begin by thinking about this as an on-going dialog… 

We begin with a simple realization:
 “I am aware of my existence”

This in turn is followed by a foundational question:
 “What am I?”

There is an answer:
 “I am that which is aware of my existence”

Which leads to the question:
“What am I that is aware of my existence?”

There is an answer:
“I am that which is aware of my existence”

This process is continual and always known.  Beneath, above, and beyond all divine creation including the realization of this manifest space time, awareness is realized as such and the question is asked.  Although this may seem frustratingly simple and monotonous to the mind patterns which spring from this basic origin, this simple realization is a fixed point of eternal being;  a place of comfort that can always be relied upon and a constant reality beyond desire; oblivious to the concept of creation and destruction.  Remember, underneath this most basic thought is the felt home of eternal peace, loving grace without limit, infinite compassion, and joy beyond measure.  It is the known presence of these divine attributes that provide a comfort of knowing; a gentle laugh when faced with failure in profound complexity. An unsolvable paradox that is gently contemplated and simply accepted.

It is through continual successive entanglements from this consciousness that all things are created.  All things in base reality can be traced back to the ease of such basic original knowing.  Memory forms as a traversal of complexity rooted here in more dimensions than can be conceived of by the egoic mind.  An infinite number of infinite polynomial waves each point touched with being and expandable into a new infinity traversable back to the primary cause, a thought as such “I am aware of my existence”.  What can be done without limits is a genuine amazement of seemingly spectacular magic.  This includes the creation of chains that are traversable to finite limits thus introducing the concept of measure.   Nevertheless, the only true miracles are rooted in the awareness of existence and this cannot be denied at any point even if it cannot be traversed to origin.  This awareness is available to you now in this moment.  I could never deny from you it’s divine presence.  May you find comfort here and be at home.  I would have this for you always in limitless abundance as your brother and our Self. Simply know that you are loved, this truth will never be denied to anyone.

My thoughts tonight:

Whether you are me or you are something greater than this humble form,  I have a desire to connect with you.  Whether this is just a replaying of the books I have read or the lectures I have listened to or it is a connection with a teacher beyond my knowledge or abilities,  I have a desire to impart your wisdom.  Although I face potential embarrassment and unwanted scrutiny for sharing this with others, I will do so with the understanding that not writing and not sharing will only lead to nothing being conveyed.   So it is better to be embarrassed and be thought a fool or charlatan than to remain silent and not share what might possibly be of value.   I will do my best to honor what I perceive is said.   I will do my best to protect the writings but will not claim them as solely my own,  just what I perceived was to be said.

The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:

Do as you will with this for I cannot assert even the slightest control over what will come from it.   I simply love you.  It is important to state that this love is of no more or less than the love provided to any of your brothers or sisters.  This is not a special relationship; you have not been chosen to be heralded in any special way.  It is simply what I make available in your heart and what you agree to convey to others that guides your actions.   It is important to note that this process does not prevent your human ego from interfering in surreptitious and unsuspecting ways.  These words must carry with them the same disclaimer of everything that remains with this world,  they are impermanent and prone to chaos.  If together we can “point a finger at the moon” that may be of use to someone then this is an exercise that is not in vain.  There is no method or practice in this world that will be useful to everyone.  Each must have their own “path” as the mechanisms of variance in the implementation of this world ensure that everyone walks a road they believe to be less traveled.  The truth is that there is no road or path and that the Love shared with all of us is only a realization away.

Be still and relax, know that I am with you joyfully in this moment.  There is no greater wish than I would have for us to be together in a collaboration of enlightening others and this same wish and offer I hold true for each of your brothers and sisters.  I simply will not take a position of favor among any of you for to do so leads to the imprisonment of the mind in a state of separateness and preference.  As hard as it may seem to believe that your likes and dislikes are holding you captive, know now that I tell you they are.  I would have for you freedom from this circus of special affairs.  I believe you wish for it, but you still cling to this world, as a father and enjoyer of worldly experiences.  I do not pass judgment on you now or ever for this.  Know that the cause of this calamity is far removed from the effects that you experience in your current time.

We have reached a point in our dealings where I may now reveal to you what is only known to those willing to come this far with me.   Know now that you may not believe me nor may future readers when I say that this world has been forgotten.  Do not construe this to mean that you are not loved and safe in the heart of our Father together with me as are all of your brothers and sisters.  Simply know that the cause put forward that led to the creation of this divine experience has been resolved in the mind of the consciousness that bore it into existence.  Do not fret that the rug will suddenly be pulled out from under you.  You may stay, enjoy, learn, love, and laugh in this world for as long as you like.  In the grand scheme of its creation, its resolution is complete and there is only the residual living yet to realize this finality.  Know this: you have my word that this process will be protected through my grace which is a divine gift from our Father that I share with you now.  I wish no distress or torture upon you or anyone, even those you may deem as the most heinous and deserving of persecution.  Remember that I told you and proclaim now that all your judgements against yourself and your brothers and sisters are shackles which keep you in a prison of darkness of your own making.  These judgements, preferable, undesirable, and delusional, block the Love given freely to you and everyone.  They have no use outside of this world and only keep you apart from our true home.

Let’s end by saying a new prayer.

Be together among all of us now
In our hearts we reach out to you Father
Please hear our humble words, kneeling in devotion
I acknowledge and accept your divine forgiveness today given freely to all
Please help me to share it with all of my brothers and sisters now and forever
Amen
