Why we can’t ‘make it on our own’.
There’s no ‘transcendence’ where we leave people behind.
All the ASSHOLES need to come with us too.
Eventually.
The goal of AWARENESS?
To see itself in all its forms.
To experience everything (all of itself, as there is nothing else but ITSELF).
The ‘pleasant and the unpleasant’.
“AWARENESS, which is one thing, winding through POTENTIALITY
and meeting up with itself from another vector;
proves that we are all equals, that we all need each other.
Some of us need to learn to be teachers; and this means surrendering to the needs of the students (without violating necessary WHOLENESS structures within your instrument (body/mind/transcendent interface).
Some of us need to be students, doing a ‘mini surrender’ to something from outside of ourself (but never give yourself away to a person or any being… give yourself away to ‘your own SELF’).
Some of us just need to play with others, when there is little need for teaching or being taught for the moment.
In all cases, being around others and learning to play nicely with them, is the key to stretching, growing, and BRINGING FORTH what is within you, your POTENTIALITY.
Sitting in some cosmic cloud and masturbating to your personal fantasies does NOTHING.
And all too soon, you get bored, not to mention really sore.
Just togetherness and playing nicely with each other is SO POSITIVE, SO NECESSARY,
or we humans will go extinct. And there is no ‘heaven awaiting the assholes who didn’t
lift a finger to save their Mother ‘spaceship earth’, just the regret for what they have done.
Platonic Surrealism leaves nobody in the cold.
(Not to deny that there are some COLD ASS SONS OF
BITCHES out there to meet. It makes for exciting movies).
There is no ‘saving’ nor ‘damning’.
There’s all of endless time to ‘meet everyone’,
every bit of AWARENESS dallying with POTENTIALITY
and forming consciousness and life.
Reality has no preferred state.
It prefers ALL STATES.
But I for one enjoy brotherhood and sisterhood and all the other hoods.
It makes for a much more pleasant and productive journey,
not to be alone, in one’s core ‘solipsistic empire’
where to think a thing is to make it true.
It’s much more pleasant, more growth-filled and AMAZING
to send out streamers in space and time,
and to meet all the others just like you,
(EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS).
When you help ‘another’ suffer less; you suffer less.
And yes, suffering is inevitable.
It ‘hurts’ to change, and if you aren’t changing, you are dying.
It’s baked into the system.
But it can be crippling, or it can be joyful.
And if you live skillfully, the suffering is greatly reduced.
That’s all that Buddha could offer, that’s all that Nietzsche could offer,
That’s all that Jesus could offer, not that he wrote anything down, or we know
What he actually said.
GNOWING and living skillfully and often with contentment,
that’s all that any of us can have.
And for that, we need each other.
Love,
