A late night post of the Soul
There’s so much in my head right now.. It’s not always easy to get it out… onto these virtual pages, or… well wherever.
I’ve been thinking long and hard and deep.. about a number of subjects… and something, as if from deep in my soul.. or perhaps even beyond the soul.. there’s this little vibrations.. and from the vibration comes a vision.. and in that vision I see a very different reality then the one of.. well I want to say waking life.. but that’s not quite right..
Perhaps it’s a very different reality then that which I’m able to give voice to? That sounds kind of right.
The feeling I get from it is.. well its pretty intense.
I could put it to you this way
Have you ever looked in the mirror and seen God staring back at you? (picture spoken in an Eminem sorta voice) “Yeah well I have.”
I wont try and explain the very complicated theological / philosophy of religion.. or even psychological significance of this sorta thing.. but I will try to describe the experience for you a little.. which will hopefully, at least, delay your fears that I might be totally out of my mind.
Who drives the driver? Who writes the plots of our lives? You know we go about our living.. and how much is our rational mind really is in control? Very often we have all sorts of interesting “issues” that steel the steering wheel away for our “right mind.” You don’t need to be Freud to appreciate this fact.
Well.. its as if all our “issues” all our little.. “why do I behave this way when I don’t mean to” …all of everything.. there are reasons to it all. Now.. we can try and attribute reasons to it.. to whatever.. but that’s not really what I’m talking about..
Lets try a slightly strange thought experiment. Imagine there were such a thing as “Nirvana” or “Heaven.” In the gnostic gospel of Thomas we learn that the kingdom of God is spread out throughout the world.. but we don’t see it because of an enchantment of the eyes. What if there were a way of looking at it… all of it, where.. all the stuff of the mind, and all of whatever.. you could sorta see how it was serving you and consistent with a notion of heaven? One problem is just trying to work out what the hell heaven is.. or God for that matter..
What I’m trying to get to with all this can be found in the Hindu tradition.. to tell it in Christian language… once upon a time there was this dude who went by the name Adam, and this Chick called Eve.. and everything was perfect.. and.. you know.. perfects kinda boring.. and there was this fruit that was all forbidden… and apparently would magically give you knowledge of some mysterious thing called “good and evil” but.. this fellow God.. forbid it.
Well you know.. its not that this couple was terribly hung up.. but they wanted to do right by this God fellow.. on the one hand.. and on the other… well they were bored and this fruit sounded terribly exciting.. They were trying to do as God said.. but then came along this snake.. whom it would seem knew something about this fruit.. and the snake helped the couple get over there little hang up and.. give it a taste..
So.. this lead to the knowledge of Good and Evil.. as well as getting kicked out of the perfect place.. and lead to more exciting adventures… and that’s a bit of the Genesis of it all.
Ok.. so WTF is that story really about? Its the birth of duality in consciousness.. is one way we could read it.. welcome the pair of opposites.. But its also saying.. let go jump into the confusion of our lives..
What I’m sorta trying to get to is that the vibration is speaking from that perfect place.. that, psychologically speaking.. it’s a real place within all of us.. and in a certain sense we are all there… but we are also here.. cause.. well.. we thought it might be interesting.
If you see here as an expression of there.. then you are in a certain sense identifying with the divinity within.. with God so to speak.. I don’t fully understand this but.. I guess the Christian thing is that Jesus is supposed to be some kind of a roll model.. and yet.. he can say “I and the father are one,” but for some reason we are not supposed to?
Even without making that jump.. which might be creepy for some.. we can look at it all in this light and see the will of God in our lives.. and so if you look in the mirror and see God.. you could then say its just you seeing the expression of his will in your life.
So yeah, pretty crazy ha?
