The Seeker and the Sought
To truly delve into spirituality, one must be willing to look and listen with ones whole being. To simply let life flow freely is the art of wisdom. In the totality of perception, life is all-inclusive. It is to see that one is nothing (no-thing) and therefore all things. Within the nothingness of perception, all is. Realize it is the self that cannot enter this essence, which is neither a state nor non-state in which the mind can ever take hold of and make obscure.
You must discover the absurdity of seeking the truth. To seek is to discover the searching within the field of knowledge is futile. The self can never go beyond its own boundaries. Truth is not to be found within any shape, form or fraction of knowledge. Therefore, to accumulate knowledge in the attempt to gain wisdom is unwise. To go beyond knowledge is to see that you do not know. It is to see that you will never know the unknown, nor can you enter its realm. To see this fact, is to arrest all searching within the grounds of the known.
Understand, I am only concerned with the direct seeing of the Truth. I want to see that essence face-to-face and not accept what anyone else says. I am not concerned with what the ancient Tibetans or the ancient Egyptians have said. They might be wrong you know. All guides rather they are of the ancient such as Moses, Christ, Shankara or the Buddha may not have even existed and if so, perhaps they were deeply mistaken. This includes those purported guides of our own own modern times such as Ernest Holmes, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Krishnaji, and all other so-called Enlightened Beings. They all may have been utterly lost, bemused and confused. They may have said there is such a thing called God, but I cannot depend on that, they could have been delusional.
Spiritual Meditation Beyond Chaos
Therefore, what is vital is the seeking for oneself and not believing the words of another. I am only concerned with seeing for myself. That would be the end of all my confusion. As long as I am confused, I do not see clearly. Every action produced in confusion is a movement of confusion. I realize the self is a formulation of thought and the continuity of thought. So as long as I am trapped in thought I am confined to the inadequacy of thought. Which means, the moment I choose any particular action, it is out of confusion. When the mind sees clearly, then there is no opting or choosing. When there is clarity of perception, there is no need to pick and choose. It is only when we are confused that we bother with trying to select the correct actions of choosing what one should or should not do. When thought acts, it is incomplete, partial action. When perception acts, it is direct, total and complete action in and of itself. Do you see how simple this is? When we act out of direct perception, all action is sacred and whole, because the self is not there. In the fullness of perception, there is no right or wrong, just total action. When we act out of the totality of perception, it is complete effortlessness, which is simple, direct and spontaneous. This perception creates all action, all movement. All our lives we have been functioning from the darkness of the self, thinking and then acting. Now I am proposing a completely new way of living that isn’t dictated by anyone, anything or any principle. This is to live holy. Not your idea of holiness but to live directly out of the wholeness of clear perception.
When we think and then act, our actions are imperfect. Because thought is always curtailed, therefore, it cannot create nor do anything holistically. To understand this is to realize that thinking is dual and so all action born of thought is duality. This dual process of the self thinks and then acts, which is insufficient and inadequate. We are not expounding the concepts of philosophy, physics or metaphysics; we are looking into the wholeness of consciousness, the wholeness of perception. So it is up to you to see the distance created between thinking and then acting, between the thinker and action. Which means, as long as there is division between you and action there is bound to be disharmony within you and in the world. Now, to go deeper, you must realize that all action born out of total perception is non-duality. Do you see how simple this is to understand? Realize that it is silence that is the secret doorway within. Simply be quiet my friend and this understanding will unfold within you.
Now, when we function out of direct perception it is a movement of perfection. Thought is imperfection because it is incomplete, partial and limited as knowledge. For most of us, we are functioning from the impulsiveness of the self. We are living broken lives of our so-called free will, which is not free but imprisoned and confined to the past, which is darkness. Our thoughts are time bound and tainted by ignorance and blindness. When we function out of holistic perception, there is no time and no boundaries. To function in ones original nature, the timeless enters your life and you are completely free. Perhaps, when you realize this for yourself, you may discover that this extraordinay essence is what humanity has been falsely seeking throughout the ages.
