Look around you. You see the world, right?
Wrong.
What you see is symbolic of the true world. As with most things I say, this makes no sense on the surface. That’s because you only look at the symbols that you have replaced reality with. Once you give something a name, it becomes the shorthand label. After that, you generally never see it again. It becomes a pale shadow of it’s actual self. You only experience it in a low-minded, glancing manner.
Which makes it seem inexplicable.
What is sex really? What is love really? What is death really?
Why do they all seem to be connected really?
Get out of that god-damned word-forest! Who are you? Your name? Your body? Your mind? Your soul? Your spirit?
Those are all labels. Symbols. They mean nothing by themselves. They are not the real thing. Not the real you.
The real you is… what?
If you can see through this once, everything else will fall into place.
We are evolving as a race. As more of us attain this State, future children will be born with this Understanding. This is as big as the jump from instinctive animal consciousness to human self-awareness. From a single cell to an amazing, complex organism.
Time makes a useful servant but a terrible master. The time we experience is symbolic of what? Think!
Think about generational relationships. Grandparents, parents, children. Where does one end and another begin?
Don’t just look at the surface. Not at the symbols. Not at dates and times. Look at what is passed from elder to younger. Memories. Discoveries. Can you see that it’s all one thing? An endless thread in an endless tapestry? Thinking of ourselves as separate people is a convenient illusion. And a dangerous one. This is the root of all suffering. Selfishness.
There is only One Thing.
One You.
The Paradox at the Heart of it All.
