Human potential is total enlightenment…so what are we doing?

It is possible to become a Buddha or at least a Bodhisattva – one with the universe and beyond!

So what are we doing? Arguing, feeling proud, eating too much, staring at the computer, maintaining our lofty status… for what?

We live in a world of hope and fear. We are told to better ourselves, to work harder. So a subtle competitiveness gets set up –  mind games, appearances and mannerisms. We become caricatures. So we hope to be better people and become recognised for it, and we fear looking lazy and being recognised for it. It’s a vicious cycle of existence!

First we have to control our own minds.so as not to allow others to do that for us.

Hope and Fear.

Hope and Fear are two poisons that control us. They cloud our ‘view’!

Our ‘clear view’ is our true being, which is naturally Pure, Aware and Compassionate.

This is undeniable. These are the three natural qualities of our being, Emptiness, Cognisance and Love. So now we know what we truly are! We are embodied spirits of pure light.

But, of course, we have an opposite side – not-pure, not-knowing and not-compassionate, because of this “I” fixation!

These three aspects create the three main emotions of Desire, Aversion and Ignorance. Ordinary confused humans are governed by “I like”… “I do not like”… and “I do not care”.

So we blindly react, and our clouded view stays the same. This is because we Ignore our true nature. That is the first poison, Ignorance.

It is strange that the laws of this universe have to same characteristics: Attraction, Repulsion and Inertia. Maybe, our Ignorance, Desire and Aversion created the laws of this universe, that keeps us in this vicious cycle of existence…?!

Ignorance creates Hope and Fear. Ignorance also create Pride and Envy.

Of course they are other beings in ‘this’ universe, who have the very same spiritual-potential-essential nature as us. An enlightened nature! But we also have an endarkened nature, that gives into the emotions of Hope and Fear.

Hoping that there are beings in spaceships off planet to help us, and Fearing what is happening here on Earth creates a confused mind. We can cut through our confusion, by cutting through our cloud of Hopes and Fears.

We are Pure, Aware and Compassionate beings, not part time, but full time. This is an undeniable truth. It is precisely because we are stuck in a world of distractions that we need repetition to focus on our true nature. Once we get a glimpse of this, life will be much richer and more fun…promise!

All the best,

Tony
