  Truth is concept. What we hold as true, is only a conceptualization of what we believe is true. Enlightenment and all these things, do not exist. The now is what is important, for it is now that all of this is being created out of nothing. The words we use then, mean nothing and everything. They are born out the concept that we believe, that we are something of our actions and experience, but we are only half right. We are now, not yesterday and not tomorrow.

  Be the experience of it. Do not try to grasp it, when we grasp it, we try to make it ours. It belongs to all. Cats, dogs, people and all others. It is now that we share and in trying to grasp it, the meaning slips ever away.

  report

  couturepopcafeposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  Yes, we do our best with words on the forums. I agree that all life is beauty but disagree that "seeing" beauty is ego. The mind freed of all obscuration makes the universe of physical sensory perception small (unimportant). So the 'sense' of beauty known by the enlightened mind is not ego but the result of contented purity. You and I are actually saying the same thing.
  
  Ego is in place as a means of discriminative observation but the term is often used to mean self importance. (Not saying that's how you're using it).

  It is and it isn't. If one studies atomic structures, they see that it is only here in moments. The same can be said for us, if we try to rationalize it by the past, we gain nothing from it. We can only observe ourselve's now and we can only observe all other things now. Moment to moment, is a universe of it's own and contains many universes, as undiscovered.

  GoldenBird - what you call luck or chance was you being in the right place at the right time prepared by your previous moments to receive that goodness. What you call your own conscious efforts was you trying to mold events so they become your experience instead of focusing on the deepest inclination of your heart.

  Yes, you and I have already agreed to that but now let's talk to the new seekers who have yet to go through the concept of illusion. Mental impressions, as you've stated earlier, come through the ego. Whether they are good or bad impressions is irrelevant. They still come. People learn, grow, change by these impressions (of their own making).

  Ok, GoldenBird. Here is your first lesson. I'll give you the objective (goal) first so you can see where you're going.
  
  Goal: When the voice and the vision on the inside become more profound and clear and loud than the opinions on the outside, you've mastered your life.
  
  Assignment: You are to sit in lotus position with eyes closed. Breath quietly. Go deep into your past where there is both pain and bliss. Allow these memories (mental impressions) to escape without interruption as you witness your experience of life unfold. This is known as mental vomiting and is not to be taken as something bad.
  
  Don't analyze each event that comes up. Just witness it. You are no longer in that moment but witnessing it from a new moment that will give you a new perspective. Do this every day for 5 days.
  
  During this exercise, you are to cultivate friendliness toward happiness and compassion toward misery, gladness toward virtue and indifference toward vice.
  
  You'll discover that much of what passed is irrelevant. We can only receive what we can receive so you will see in stages

  That is so sweet. You asked as a pupil, I gave you something to chew on. You can float through life in the now, as mischeviousme suggests, finding awareness through your poetry, perhaps, which is another form of ridding the soul of mental images. Your poetry is a reflection of you.
  
  You can also take steps to be intentional toward awareness through active meditation in much the same way you are intentional about going to work every day. Taking intentional steps is no less a part of the journey but may in fact open up channels which are currently blocked.
  
  Both are valuable paths to awareness.

  How often or how many of us have that highest level of integrity and insight to never lie, embellish, or twist our words to benefit or protect ourselves? Most people lie even to the smallest degree. If you're asking about the truth of the universe, that's not debatable. If you ask me if I made my bed this morning, there is a simple yes or no answer. One of them is the truth.
  
  Another answer might be 'it's all truth and it's all lies or illusion'. The only thing that matters is the past minute and what you do with it.

  couturepopcafeposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  Golden - You can do anything you want to do with it. Just be aware that it will take part in defining the next minute and so on. "Being in the moment" is like saying "Who feels it knows it". Both are valid but unknowable until they're experienced.
  
  As mischeviousme stated, rationalizing the past to define the future doesn't work. Understanding that the past actually defines the future is closer to most people's current reality.
  
  You can't change what you've experienced but you can change your perspective of that experience. Once you begin to learn how to do that, you can change each moment to create better moments which then build into new experiences.
  
  As humans, we can understand the concept of pure consciousness but not the experience. When the windows to insight begin to open, we go through a phase of seeking (what we term truth). Then we begin to just 'be'. Keep in mind that there will always be distractions or attempts at distraction.

  That's what I believe as well. The seeker often doesn't recognize distractions for what they are. Distractions should be looked at and used if they suit. If not, we can simply send them away. But I believe non-recognition of distraction is tantamount to non-recognition of awareness itself.

  You look like you're about 30.
  BTW, I see you didn't fix the spelling that your 'old lady' screwed up on your little bio. Funny how you revert to regular language when talking about your 'old lady', but you spew philisophical dregs without using any contractions, trying to sound so wise.
  Your ego must really need stroking the way you try to constantly prove that you have a handle on any and all subjects. I feel sorry for you.

  I am like you. I have no handle on things and I admit to knowing nothing, which is a step we must all take toward adulthood. As for what is written in my bio, they are just words and it doesn't bother me in the least.
