Simple But Difficult … But Simple
Our true reality is simply pure awareness. Its presence is precious timelessness. We do not have to do anything to know or realise this. So why is it difficult? It’s difficult to comprehend as we attach more importance to the ‘intellectual’ theoretical self-image in our mind than to our actual reality.
We may think that enlightenment is as high as the sky but, in actuality, it’s right here, right now, while we maintain a personal position many fathoms down, stuck in an ocean of mud.
The main problem with realising the simplicity of our actual reality is the way this absolute truth is dressed up in the mud by religion and intellectualisation.
No one directly tell us, “You’re actually in shit!”
Instead, they suggest a sing-along, or chant-along … 🙂
Whether we have good karma from good life-education, or bad karma from bad life-education, we are all in the right position to come to the surface … no higher. With good karma, we are ‘happy’ to stay where we are. With bad karma, everything ‘stinks’ so we want to get out. Why don’t we?
This brings us the the question, “What is evil?” Evil is happy in the mud, and wants everyone else to play there with them. Evil exploits our likes and dislikes, while we ignore our current environment and predicament. We’ve got used to it, and we’re hoping for the tea and crumpets to arrive. 🙂
What is simple?
The moment when we recognise the shitty mud … we are free.
The more we recognise the stench of self-righteousness everywhere, the more we want to be free.
If we see evil as a monster, we make life difficult for ourselves and others. The snake in the Garden of Eden did us favour and instructed us on the path to enlightenment, knowing good from evil.
But what about, “… or you shall surely die?” This means to bring an end to suffering. It’s an upside-down world; the story of the so-called Garden of Eden was written by people who didn’t want us to be aware.
‘Evil’ actually shows us the way,
rather than charming us into staying as we are.
It motivates us.
Funny, that!?
Doubt only arises when we believe others’ apathy.
