Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all hiss strength. -- Hasidic saying

Woman is by nature a shaman. -- siberian proverb

Imagine the universe -- or the multiverse -- as a giant self-transcendant machine, a cube that encompasses all of creation: every world, every reality, every dimension. It holds within it every concept, every idea, every being ever created, every dream, every thought...

...and it has its own voice, its own purpose.

It has its own consciousness, so alien, so different from anything our tiny and insignificant intellects can comprehend.

Imagine the world we live in, this one unique reality, is only one room in this machine, one room among many that are constantly in motion. Some are similar to the one we know, and yet others are vastly dissimilar, so completely unlike anything we have ever seen from the comfort of our own. And as each room moves throughout the cube, its laws -- the basic nature of what we consider to be reality, up and down, left and right, time and space and depth -- are also changing, so what we think of as the direction of 'up' or the concept of 'time' in this reality, this room, is something completely different in the next one over.

Now imagine each room is in fact a single moment that lasts an eternity, one infinite moment out of an endless, boundless amount of others. Our consciouness lives out that moment from birth to death, we remain in that room until the time comes for us to depart, and we accept it as reality because we are unaware of anything else but it.

YBUKO:
mozna banalita, ale imho zasadni: "the moment you stop seeking" - je to moment absolutniho a uprimnyho vzdani se. jedinej zpusob, jak se od urcity chvile da posunovat "dal" - poddavat se.
instrukce "stop seeking" muze byt zradna, protoze pokud uz neprobehla urcita transformace cloveka v prubehu te faze hledani, pak je zastaveni hledani jenom zastavenym hledanim, ne vsak nalezenim.

Ernesto Cardenal says that we can argue about the reason for the universe and the meaning of the universe but not about the beauty of the universe. Annie Dillard comments that 'unless all ages and races...have been deluded by the same mass hypnotist (who?), there seems to be such a thing as beauty, as grace wholly gratuitous." We all share beauty. It strikes us indiscriminately. It may be when our child was born into this world; or a simple flower; or a song; or a smile on a face; or a great act of courage; or a dance well done; or a child's laugh; or a loaf of bread baking; or finding a worthy job; or a snowfall; or to his or her Source. There is no end to beauty for the person who is aware. Even the cracks between the sidewalk contain geometric patterns of amazing beauty. If we take pictures of them and blow up the photographs, we realize we walk on beauty every day, even when things seem ugly around us. The Navajo people have a prayer that deserves to be sung daily by all persons:

I walk with beauty before me
I walk with beauty behind me
I walk with beauty above me
I walk with beauty below me
I walk with beauty all around me
Your world is so beautiful, Oh God.

Because beauty is a habit of the universe, it is essential that humans be about the good work of showering one another with beauty, and of bringing out the beauty of one another. Not to do this is to obstruct the universe's intention. Injustice, it seems to me, is always ugly. What is just is beautiful and brings back the beautiful to what was broken. All works of healing are works of making beauty, and all beauty heals. The composer Gustav Mahler said that our sole obligation in life 'is to be as beautiful as we can in every way. For ugliness is an insult to the beautiful God.'

Imho mas i jinou metodu nez pokus-omyl: studovat. Omyly nevyloucis stejne, prave proto, ze kazdy jsme individualita, nicmene spouste jich se vyhnes prave tim, ze uz je udelali jini. A naopak nekteri vyjasnili, ze tudy to jde a hodne daleko a propracovali to, a pak muzes proste jenom navazovat.

Clovek do sveta vrusta. Imho nejdulezitejsim pojmem pro tento proces je pojem zamernosti, zameru, ve smyslu smeru pohledu, smeru onoho vrustani. Zcela neomezena moc expanduje isotropne ;-) Omezeni vlastne vzdy znamena nejakou strukturu, ve smyslu kanalizace one moci. Kdyz to udelam chybne, tak udelam betonova koryta, a kdyz se strida pocasi, budu mit sucho nebo potopu. Kdyz to udelam dobre, budu mit spis krajinu, ceske luhy a haje, reka se krouti a rozleva, pritekaji k ni potucky, mokrady, baziny, stoky. V takovem prostredi lze mluvit o zivotu. Roury, to neni zivot, a naopak globalni zaplava taky neprospiva.
Jak se omezovat, abys byla schopna zit? Nevim. Vim, ze to musi vypadat jako strom, ne jako tovarna, ale jak toho dosahnout? Zamenit "musim" za "muzu", nicmene "muzu" chapat v pravem smyslu, tj. nejen "muzu vse", ale i "muzu se omezit". Muzu se zavazat na cely zivot k praci, stejne jako muzu si jen tak lenosit.
Jo a pochopitelne laska, na tu se nesmi zapomenout :-)
Velke dilo, nakolik ho chapu, je prave rozlit se uplne vsude, byt vsude a vsude stejne a uplne materializovane, nicmene byt takto vsude zcela individualne. Melír, prave kontinuum, ktere neni rozplizlosti, naopak, je totalni urcitosti vsech svych bodu, ktere neztraceji svou individualitu i pres to, ze nejsou rozpojeny, ale spojeny, ze mezi nimi neni mezera. Totalni [o/vy]mezeni, pritakani zivotu.

fractal wrongness

The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.

Debating with a person who is fractally wrong leads to infinite regress, as every refutation you make of that person's opinions will lead to a rejoinder, full of half-truths, leaps of logic, and outright lies, that requires just as much refutation to debunk as the first one. It is as impossible to convince a fractally wrong person of anything as it is to walk around the edge of the Mandelbrot set in finite time.

If you ever get embroiled in a discussion with a fractally wrong person on the Internet--in mailing lists, newsgroups, or website forums--your best bet is to say your piece once and ignore any replies, thus saving yourself time.

Reading books won't help you

_B2SPIRIT_:

Problém je, že pro ty, kteří ještě nerozvinuli trvalé vnitřní ticho (svědka), bude takovéto uvažování/sebezpyt především otázkou intelektu. To, co hledáme tím, že necháváme být - že se pustíme, je pak také myšlenkovým objektem v mysli. Je to tedy přemýšlení o myšlenkách. Mysl hrající si s myslí. A to může trvat velmi dlouho.

Takovéto uvažování může v životě způsobit mnoho problémů - pohled, že všechno je bezvýznamné a ztrátu motivace k životu. Pokud nezažíváme alespoň trošku Toho, o čem mluvíme - svědka/ticha, pak samotný akt uznání neduality (neprojevené Jednoty) a neexistence duality (Jednoty a zároveň mnohosti) může vést k pocitům beznaděje.

Je to podobné, jako kdybychom po ptáčeti, kterému ještě nevyrostla křídla chtěli, aby skočilo z posledního patra. Pták s křídly bude tomu bez křídel říkat: "Pojď, dokážeš to. Prostě skoč. O křídla se nestarej."

Dává to smysl? Prvně musí narůst křídla, pak můžeme létat.

The problem is that for those who are yet to cultivate abiding inner silence (the witness) this kind of selfinquiry will be largely intellectual. That which is being sought in letting go is a thought object in the mind also. So it is thoughts about thoughts. The mind playing with the mind. It can go on for a very long time.

This kind of self-inquiry can lead to much trouble in life – an attitude of meaninglessness and a loss of motivation to engage in living. The very act of affirming non-duality (unmanifest Oneness) and the non-existence of duality (Oneness plus diversity) can lead to a sense of hopelessness if one is not experiencing at least a smidgen of the thing itself, the witness.

It is like asking a bird who is yet to grow wings to jump off the top of a building. The bird with fully developed and functioning wings will keep saying to the one with undeveloped wings, “Come on, you can do it. Just jump. Don’t worry about the wings.”

Does this make any sense? The wings have to come first. Then we can fly.
