The House of Bliss.
Something which is perfect cannot create anything imperfect.
So perhaps you should take another good look around you again.
What is perfect is defined by something imperfect.
The tool of perception and what it observes is one and the same.
Like an eye attempting to turn around and see itself
It cannot do that.
Life does well enough alone without too much comment.
Just being!
Just Being before all the man made concepts.
The ones that bind you.
Before all this you are all that.
All of these definitions limits you from all of that
All these defintions are set to carry away from all that
Once you believe you as a self
You become a many of only One.
Tabula Rasa is a term for a clean slate.
It is asserted we all begin with mind as a clean slate.
Some spiritual teachers encourage you to go to that state.
To make a fresh beginning.
But off course we already know that if we accept that idea,
then we allude to a Self which has a begiining and end.
Then the whole journey starts again discovering there is no self.
Back to that clean slate.
Like Oroboruous the snake circling back eating its own tail.
What is this that observes the clean slate?
That which is desireless of taking that first step.
The emptiness which is totally full.
That path.
The one you are led to believe will bring you enlightenment.
The very last one
Remove that as well.
It is the last obstacle!
note:How many times have you been on this road? Notice that there is this always one more path. The correct path. The one that ties you up to just more committment. Still trying to figure it out things out. There is NO-thing to figure out. Figuring out is a mind puzzle. It requires mind. An obstacle. Good luck with that.
I don't quite know where the winds are blowing me today
but at least I know it's blowing.
That helps !
That in between that blowing and recognzing blowing
The Wind and I are one.
It reminds me that there is only blowing
so I can return to just I am.
I see everything in its dualistic role
as clues.
Clues to Oneness!
That the I that knows blowing too is false.
That it is there to investigate.
But when it doesn't
it is clearly wind.
Off course it is all.
Note: Paradoxical conversations can sometimes be more confusing. That its why it is kept to a minimuumto encourage to investigate rather than continue with chatter. All acitivity is one and the same the I is activity investigating activity which makes it akward.
In observation you see that the self is drawn into various conditions.
Either a
Good or bad situation.
In this awakened state one can see that there is choice.
One can allow itself to to be drawn into this
Good or bad situation.
Or
Remain where One is unaffected by either dualistic tendency which arises.
Just remain in choicelessness
Spiritual Metaphors have a tendency to be lost on an arbitrary mind.
It's best to keep it away till the searcher stops.
You don't have to learn how to breathe it just happens.
Often it is said that there are lessons to be learned in life.
But these lessons appear in the first place only because you
are trying to live life in discord.
The discord arises through our interpreting and identifying
all things as separate objects.
It is often said in Zen.
First you must chop wood and carry water
and then after
You chop wood and carry water.
Principally all that is being said is that once you have identified
objects you must let them go.
There is no need to identify nor form attachments to them.
We visit the forms but no longer make distinction.
We coming to an understanding that it is part of the many that is divided
Into single expressions.
There is no need to continue to learn how to breath
it just happens.
So Life in fact is not necessarily a continous lesson
But an ever constant expression
and you are a part of that.
( Note: If you come to an understanding of this you will see how karma falls way.)
No two things are exactly the same. Ironically though at the deepest level both and all things arise from the One
and there is no-other to speak of. A paradox indeed. But a paradox only when the second is considered but not prior to that.
Do not look at these words if you are to free yourself.
Go beyond them.
That is the way out of this dream.
And to land right back where you were.
Awake!
Do not take your next step
For it is bolder to stand right here.
Right now.
Where this is the first time.
Then the next too is the first time.
No time.
Timeless !
This does not await you.
This is here now.
It was always right here.
Shrouded with words.
Let these words fall away.
See what has always been there.
