All of this is God

 There is no ego. Ego is God. The whole time we imagine that we are a separate self we are not in fact a separate self. There is nothing wrong about his world. Nothing fundamentally flawed. There is no need to pursue enlightenment or anything for that matter. We simply pursue what we pursue. I don't think that anything is permanent. What structures that exist here I do not think define the totality of what is. Neither do the thoughts we have about them. To me God is simply another portal to a new world. A world that goes beyond reason, thinking, and humanity and yet includes all of these. Can we really claim to know how everything works? Is being everything really being everything? It seems to me that there are places we can go and things we can experience which are completely beyond definition and understanding. To me this place is an equally valid reality to the one we can gauge. And perhaps this is where true freedom lies. In freedom from the measuring self. Where ideas of God, morality, truth, questions of the ultimate nature of things are completely irrelevant. I think this place is the clearest space from which we can experience life on Earth. Or life anywhere. To hold onto this space whilst denying the part of us that asks and measures is delusional. Thinking that this space is somehow better. They are two realities while one may supersede the other. I think the world we live in is a product of ignorance. And the undefinable world is a place transcendent of knowledge. I say these things because I have been reading about ultimate notions such as Spirit, Christ Consciousness, the Holy Ghost, etc. I acknowledge the reality of these forms in our universe, but I question their ultimate reality perhaps in the sense that they are perceived to be as all encompassing as they are. It seems to me that when you get to the realization that I and the Father are One and that all of this is God, logic and thinking, begin to fall off of the bandwagon, and defining the world loses it's relevance. I wonder if these Saints and Sages see this but use these constructs such as Spirit and Christ Consciousness because they are relevant to awakening consciousness. When they use words such as eternal I wonder. I wonder if these realities are eternal in that they eternally constructs in reality, but I am reluctant to give them the final world because to me it seems like they are perhaps steps along the way. I wonder if they are in some way attached to these notions and these ways and blind to clearer perception of what is. I wonder if what the West will bring to the East is an exhaustive and merciless degutting of their religions. In which constructs are objectively vindicated, but cleansed of cultural nonsense. It's a terrible idea, but also one that makes me laugh. I acknowledge that some of this is likely due to my own misunderstanding, but I truly wonder. It seems like ideas of samadhi, avatars, saints, sages, are given too much importance. An importance that perhaps takes away from clarity of perception. That fixes the mind on constructs rather than the bare naked truth. This may be a result of my own cold blooded heartlessness, but nonetheless, the reality I am pondering seems to have some legitimacy. It seems to me that any idea you hold onto about the nature of reality is false. Therefore I question why these religions leaders have so many ideas about their religion. I get that they are very exact and in many ways very true, but the way I would now go about liberating minds would not focus nearly as much on all of the stuff they focus on. It seems cluttered to me. I think the reality of stuff, forms, is very legitimate, I am just so curious about what else could be here, what may be more basic, deeper even in a sense. I think it's clearly a fact that that the merging of East and West and the overall unification of world cultures has led to a distillation of truth. I wonder how far this will go. I wonder how personal religiosity will become one with dispassionate objectivity. I wonder what will survive. I think part of me is still seeking vengeance against religion due to it's blind dogma. I probably go to far in my assassination of some of it's principle notions. But it would be more foolish not to be critical of them. It still seems to me that God worship of leading no bullshit religions may still be mired in too much personilization of God that leads to misunderstanding and is ultimately not real. Calling God the Lord and He. His will etc. I know these religions/ways lead to very impersonal awareness of what God may be, but I wonder if these methods will grow outdated with time. Does God have to be He? Does it have to be God? What do we get from these methods of denotation and how will they be affected by the further distillation of truth and unification of world culture? It's obvious that much of our world culture is slaughtered by this unification. What will happen to religion and religious worship? What will happen to science for that matter? This topic is almost more interesting. Science becoming more personal? Wow. Probably. Fuckin A. I guess the purpose of all this thinking is to identify deeper more distilled realities and too anticipate the change that is coming. I guess in all honesty I really don't know. I think I am overcritical of religious ideas because so much of them I have already found to be bs. I expect the rest to be so. I haven't gone deep enough in direct experience to say one way or the other. This said I do think that God opens the door to what is beyond God as we know and define it. I know it does. If it didn't the universe wouldn't make sense. It would be limited. And God wouldn't make sense either. Because God is infinite so it must go beyond itself. Lol. It's funny that in this place beyond any understanding, beyond God is where I find so much happiness. I just feel like all these ideas are work and they weigh me down. I just want to be free. Totally free. I get why worldly engagement is detrimental, but at the same time its like, it's here, so how can it be that bad. It feels too heavy to me to be so in denial of worldly life at least as I imagine how it is perceived. Too much morality. Too much focus on waking people up. I'm taking this position on my understanding of SRF views. I vibe super strongly with like 99% of their stuff. I think their soul is legit. I just also feel inclined towards a more Zen perspective which is like all this shit is here. Zen seems to me to more clearly make less of a distinction between the high and the low. I don't want to give the SRF guys a bad rap because I know they are Golden. I don't think Zen is perfect either. I think it may be too aloof in it's dispassionate attitude. All in all I think these are the questions we need to be asking right now as spiritual seekers and as human beings. We have some fucking awesome traditions to work with. We are lucky to be so privileged in terms of the content available that reaches us after millennia of humans toiling to improve it. To reach us at such a close proximity to perhaps the zenith of perfectedness. I think the zenith might be the complete unification of human culture into one body of knowledge and practice. Which world be at least near the equivalent of a Universal Religion. It seems to me that the leading perennial traditions are pointed towards this union. I don't think it would be Zen if Zen was attached to being Zen. Neither would the SRF hold onto their ways of operation given the pressing realities of the present society. Jesus spoke the way he did in partial due to his audience. Different similarly enlightened beings speak in different ways. What is the essence of their message? What will change in the way it is communicated as more of us are ready to here it? Each of us in our own search are apart of the constantly novel way reality is interpreted. We are apart of this distillation of knowledge. We are apart of this melding of tradition which is the creation of new tradition. This is not something new. It has been this way forever. Now it just seems that the melding is accelerated and that the whole world is coming together. One thing that these great wisdom traditions have in common is that they get to a point where the mind is freed from delusion. I have been to this place. When you get here the details don't seem to have as much weight, or no weight at all. Here it is realized that freedom is more important that understanding everything. Truly being free from delusion is personal fulfillment. I think this is at the heart of what we are all looking for. Much more so than understanding. Here, the way you get there, doesn't need to be so perfect, it just needs to work well enough. Hence the Buddha telling us not to carry the raft, his teaching, with us when we make it to the other shore. This kind of waking up is a paradigm shift from egoicentricism even if the ego is an illusion. It is a paradigm shift for the individual experiencing the awakening. Nothing is of primary importance, you just are. finding things out becomes much less important when you are content with how you are. If you enjoy figuring things out, you are not attached to what you do or don't learn. Time kind of stops, just living is perfectly enough, and incredibly beautiful. What are we if not beings.
