F.: [Continued from yesterday] What happened in the case of the vacuum cleaner is that certain elements happened to end up in a certain form or space; then it was programmed to function in a certain way; next, energy manifested in it. After that, whatever happened with it happened. Eventually, its internal workings stopped functioning as a result of extended use or because of a lack of proper maintenance and care. Ultimately, the energy could no longer move through it. The elements which came together in a particular fashion returned to the universal pool of elements, and the energy was also released and joined the universal pool of energy. That released energy might be recycled someday, or not. The cycling, re-cycling, or absence of cycling is completely random. [Please note: such “cycling or not” is comparable to what happens or not with rain that falls into the ocean. Some of those same H2O particles might be drawn upward, might help form clouds, and might recycle via rain that falls into the ocean again later. Or, some of that original rainfall might remain “at rest” in the ocean. So it is with energy that recycles…or not.]
The elements which once had the appearance of “a vacuum cleaner” will not regroup in another world and will never re-form into the same vacuum, either. Further, no energy will ever manifest again in that same vacuum. The elements return to the universal pool of elements, the air that once moved through the vacuum returns to the universal pool of air, and the energy returns to the universal pool of energy (which is the one basic thing that everything is). That Which Is Real is beyond any beingness and even beyond any non-beingness. To paraphrase Krishna, “All who realize that point are sane and aware. All others are fools.”
Nothing was created and nothing was destroyed in the entire “conception,” “existence,” and “finalization” of that vacuum cleaner. So it is with all on earth that has ever appeared to be a particular "person, place, or thing.” In truth, nothing involving the vacuum cleaner was created and nothing was destroyed, just as with all humans or birds or animals or plants. The elements remain, the air remains, and the energy remains...just as with all humans or birds or animals or plants that have ceased, now cease, or shall cease to maintain any perceived form or shape or space. All supposed "persons or things" that have ever seemed to exist in any particular form actually involved nothing more than movements from various pools (of elements, air, and energy). Those "persons or things" were only the temporary manifestation of energy-with-the-potential-to-be-conscious-of, if manifested. All other perceptions about them are illusions. That Which Is can cycle, but nothing—not one, single thing—has ever cycled again as the same “self” or form or space. Energy cycles or not randomly, air cycles or not randomly, and elements cycle or not randomly. Furthermore, no single, specific thing have ever continued to cycle. No body has ever re-formed; no "soul" has ever survived any cycling because it is nothing more than a concept added to the equation of what really cycles: elements, air, and energy. No "mind" has ever survive the decomposition of the elements that once formed a "human body," the "mind" being nothing more than an accumulation of imaginings and dreams and lies and distortions and misperceptions to begin with. [If you have lived with a spouse or partner or person for any length of time and now believe that person to be insane and obviously driven by the most distorted perceptions imaginable, you are correct. That is exactly the way all persons--all of the non-Realized--are.]

Only the "content" of those three pools of energy, air, and elements cycles. Everything that has ever seemed to exist on earth or was seemingly "created" and "lived" and "died" involved the same set of finite elements that have always been on earth and that have not been "added to" or "subtracted from." The same finite elements on the planet and the same finite air on the planet have been able to cycle and recycle and recycle, ad infinitum, because of the introduction of manifestations of the infinite energy-with-the-potential-to-be-conscious-of from outside the planet via the sun. The Original Understanding is that everything is merely THAT. The obstacle to seeing the lies and then realizing the truth is this: once THAT manifests in a "human space," it (a) can become aware of itself and its Self but (b) can also be contaminated so that it is no longer able to be aware of its self (or false selves) or itSelf, much less able to be aware of truth or the manner in which the totality functions. To grasp the Original Understanding, focus more on the "advaita" and less on the "veda" or "vedanta" or any other writings or concepts dreamed up by men and thought to be "holy." The Realization can only come from within; it can never come from without. Please enter the silence of contemplation in order to become aware of all of humankind's lies that are without and thereby be able to realize the truth that can only be realized via the inner resource or the inner guru within.
