The Dharma of self

The true nature of form is self, self is Christ. Everything is self, everything is Christ. Christ is singular, self is singular. The universe with all it's varied forms is a singular self, a singular being. It is one living form, one living body, that may stretch infinitely in all directions. I believe it is infinite. Even so, it is tangible to the senses, it is something we can grasp. It seems like the Universe is really God's body. However changing, it remains constantly itself, and in a way eternally un-phased by what happens within it. I think this is because it does not depend upon the parts within it. To it, there are no parts, there is just itself, Christ. One seamless body. It cannot be harmed by what passes. Here, there truly is just the One, the experience of the part is illusory. What we acquire for ourselves is negligible because we are already firmly established in self, and it is already fulfilled. What we may gain for ourselves has illusory value, it is an attempt in vain to acquire selfdom through substitution of acquisitions for self-realization. This is not something gained, but something perceived inwardly that already exists, that is already present within us, here in the universe. All sense desires and sense object pursuits are poor attempts to realize this truth. This is why thirst for sense objects is ultimately foolish and a misplaced effort. There are traces of truth within everything we may desire in this universe, but clutching at things obsessively will not allow our insight to penetrate self-realization. This will always bog down our deeper inspirations that have the strength to guide us directly to God. They will always distract us and confuse us. The sweet scented field is full of hell fire we often fail to perceive. Our culture highly values much which is self-destructive, superficial, and corrupt. This conditions us to look in the wrong places. If we succeed in looking in the right places, we can disentangle ourselves from unhelpful habits, and find that the truth is not so difficult to comprehend. I do not think the truth would be so difficult to find if as a whole we were less deluded as a society. Truth is apparent and obvious once it is perceived. If our tenants were established in virtue, there would be clear and easy paths forward to it. There would be many more places to study and meditate freely. It would be encouraged. I hope to help make this come into being in my lifetime. I hope to encourage many others to seek God and to do my part to correct and advance the structures which we live by. In a land governed by Virtue science and technology would be fully utilized for the collective good. Profit would not be privatized, it would be shared appropriately. The biosphere and it's natural systems would be protected and maintained and utilized sustainably. This would all be possible because greed would be held in check and wisdom would reign. People would be motivated to serve the collective good and there would be enough virtuous beings that the structure of society would be purified. Those in charge would be the most virtuous and they would create systems that care for and nurture their people. They would have enough intelligent and skillful  peers to carry out their vision. The Light would be bright enough that the people would see the right way to go. The best way, is the way that is the most careful, that cares for all of the parts with equal consideration, yet priorities what is necessary to maintain the integrity of the whole. Each part, each piece is necessary for the establishment of the Good within human society. Awareness, wisdom, and compassion are needed. But, the most important part is Christ consciousness, because this is the living whole, and only through awareness of the living whole, can the living whole be properly cared for
