TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS
A REVIEW AND SUMMATION OF THE KEY UNDERSTANDINGS THAT CAME
VIA THE VISION
(Continued)
NOTE: An entire glossary - relevant to those early on in the seeking process but including pointers for those far along "the path" - is available in the eBook below entitled "FROM THE I TO THE ABSOLUTE (A Seven-Step Journey to Reality)" which is also included in the paperback four-book anthology entitled, "The Advanced Seekers' Series."
What is being quoted (in green) are the revelations which were emanating from the inner resource - that is, via the pure consciousness . . . the inner guru - as the final blockages were falling away and allowing access to that which had always been known, within.
Other clarifications that came via the vision follow.
81. The vision made clear that as if living was going to provide a lifestyle free of the misery that is generated by the desires and fears of personas. ]
82. During the part of the vision in the cave when this came,
To your left and to your right drift millions of forms, and on closer inspection, You see that they are . . . You! Each looks to be a - clone maybe a transparent clone but a clone nevertheless - of You!
what was finally understood was the non-religious, non-spiritual meaning of "atonement."
83. The vision made clear that it could more rightly be spelled, "at-one-ment."
84. The vision made clear that atonement had nothing to do with "a reconciliation between humans and an imagined external power" (now seen to have been delusionally conceived by men and bearing the image of men and - in some cases - women and monkeys and elephants, etc.)
85. What came via the vision instead was a full awareness ...
of the at-one-ment,
of the Oneness,
of the unicity,
of the true unity beyond the misperceived multiplicity,
of the fact that all is only That and nothing more.
86. The difference in "love" and Love was made clear.
87. That moment in the cave made clear that, indeed, "Love is knowing that I am everything."
88. The dissolution of every one of the symbolic birds along the way in conjunction with the final dissolution at the end of the vision made clear that "wisdom is knowing I am nothing."
89. And it became perfectly clear as the Third Leg of "the journey" unfolded that, indeed, it would be between the two - between Love and Wisdom - that the remainder of my life (that is, the remainder of the relative existence) would move.
90. Part of the days and weeks after the vision first came were spent in silent contemplation, and during those periods of silence, more and more became clear. One morning, "beginninglessness" came into consciousness and was understood immediately because the vision had already brought a reminder of the lesson taught in 4th grade science, namely, that "nothing is created and nothing is destroyed - all merely cycles."
91. Then this came: Whether the particles involved with the formation of "this universe" had "escaped from" or moved beyond the confines of an existing universe and manifested in an area that would be called "our universe" is not relevant.
92. What became clear was the high level of ignorance at the root of centuries of religion-based theories about "creation" and "this world" and dogmatic arguments about who is supposed to "have dominion over it" (still on-going even today) and at the root of their arguments about whether or not everything revolves around the earth which was believed to be at the center of everything (a belief which was also based in xenophobic arrogance).
93. It became clear that if all cycles - which all does - then so must universes cycle as well.
94. Then the words of Maharaj were recalled:
"Entire universes are imploding and exploding every moment . . ."
and
" . . . universes come and go . . . ."
95. It was also recalled that he said That Which He Is had always been and had, therefore, been present for the imploding and exploding of all universes.
96. It was clear that none of that need be understood in order to Realize, but it did make clear that one point must be understood if one is to move beyond the third step where the false identities of religious and spiritual roles are played:
97. Since no creation ever occurred, no "Creator" exists; therefore, in this case, "a negative" can be proved, scientifically.
98. What cannot be proved is that which is dreamed up by men who present only "their faith" as evidence of their claim that what they have conceptualized into their imaginings-based dogma is true.
99. At the age of 6 and 7, I was questioning the lessons about God and Jesus and Heaven and Hell and creation and Adam and Eve and mass-murder-by-way-of-a-great-flood and all the other tales being set forth by Miss Myrtle (the Baptist Sunday School teacher).
100. Finally, with the vision, scientific proof came that the doubts of a 6 or 7-year-old called "floyd" had been based in fact: if all is energy-matter, and if neither energy nor matter can be created or destroyed, then nothing has ever been created; therefore, there is no Creator. End of the story, and the end of ever again having to consider the stories . . . the myths . . . the superstition-based nonsense dreamed up and passed on by hundreds of sky cults over the millennia, many of which are still quite active around the globe even today, thriving with 97% of the earth's population believing their dreamed-up fiction.
