Setting the Standard

Setting the Standard

 

 

Rising above one's ingrained sarcasm, indifference, apathy, intellectual conceits, self-satisfaction, guilt-trips and attitudes attributable to a lifetime's accretions of learned and inherited ignorance is accomplished by setting the standard by which to wrap up one's personal history for all time.

 

Just set the standard above the selfish reifications based on your limited view of your own life's perceived experiences and motivations.

 

It isn't a matter of condescension or condemning one's personal indemnities in order to punish or surpass them somehow. In transcending ego, there is no value judgement employed~ one simply arrives at a point of forgetting the self's identity altogether by a process of refusing to entertain self-reflecting notions of thought and feeling at a subtle level of unbroken concentration over a very long time. What happens is, the intellectual, rational self-reifying function eventually craps out on its own— one doesn't wait for this to happen. It's like wearing out a shoe. The world provides the means naturally …one just drops the habits conditionally employed to groom the personality's self-sustaining apparatus in the process of dealing with everyday ordinary situations.

 

One day you just …forget to remember.

 

"Empty the mind and fill the belly."

 

The achievement of enlightening experience is none other than an instance of having forgotten your lifetime up to that point which has the result of severing the root of compulsive action. The compulsion to act is the tap-root of karmic existential identity from time immemorial and beyond.

 

Having the will to sustain a subtle consistency of psychological clarity and stillness over a long period of time arrives at the world-honored result. One spontaneous burst of velocity cultivated by virtue of the unbending extreme limit held in a love so hopeless, death so open, sincerity so world-shattering in vision that a selfless movement extending beyond the binds and bounds of conditioned awareness altogether is witnessed.

 

Therein, after a long time of self-refinement induced by sustained psychological and intellectual fasting in the course of assessing objectively and responding impersonally to ordinary situations, one simply forgets to bring one's conditioned personal identity along for the ride. And in that instant, one leaves it for all time.

 

In the moment of having forgotten one's facetious identity, one's lifetime of personal histories— what is left is what had been aglow all along. Here one discovers the great matter of birth and death once and for all.

 

Experiencing death, one discovers life in the heart of non-being on the verge of action in perpetuity. This is the limit of the limitless, not a concept. It is another universe. There is no thing. Selfless open aware potential suffusion in readiness forever …a quickened energy hovering in stillness above the primal organization and its sprouts of cyclic existential process. There is no knowledge. Unborn selfless non-being awake, aware, miraculously aware.

 

In rising above habitual selfish views of one's ingrained sarcasm, indifference, apathy, intellectual conceits, self-satisfaction, guilt-trips and attitudes, one makes enlightenment the standard to die by.

 

 

 

ed note: change "reifications you base" to "reifications based" in the 2nd paragraph.

This article has helped clarify some things, thank you.

That was potent.

haha!! poofs can be like that~ thank you, Spotless!!❤︎

 

Ya, the situational habit energy just poofs. One knows another cycle has come and gone in the same way. In seeing through phenomena mindfully (consciously when one has less power), or as one is seeing reality face to face with the characteristics of creative energy, one simply senses passing through… and there is nothing to show for conditioning's momentum.

 

In this instance some may notice that something happened. Those who do not know Change, know changes. Otherwise…

 

sameness is proven in actual events, over and over and over.

 

One does not "move on" oneself. Creation is absorbed in terms of one's potential. This is stealing potential and taking over creation.

 

Through endless transformations of created cycles, self sublimated physically and spiritually, Complete Reality is not different…

 

and there is nothing one can say.
