Sunday Stream :: Ontological Orchestrations (in Be sharp)

"Metaphysics: branch of philosophy concerned with the ultimate nature of existence. It perpetuates the Metaphysics of Aristotle, a collection of treatises placed after the Physics [Gr. meta-physics=after physics] and treating what Aristotle called the First Philosophy. The principal area of metaphysical speculation is generally called ontology and is the study of the ultimate nature of being."

Those last words, 'ultimate nature of being', resonate for me and I wonder why..? Why are some of us drawn to model railroading while another is drawn to becoming a doctor of veterinarian medicine? What is it about metaphysics that has pulled me in for so long?

The ultimate nature of being. I love saying that. Not reaching the end or attaining the egg of a golden goose, but the journey of discovery of what this life thing really is... and why it is... Most have little use for such time stealers... many quiet moments of deep thinking, observing, assimilating all to see if all the dots can be connected... weaving the blanket of understanding to warm us from the cold fear of not knowing.

Politicians don't have time or interest in those questions... neither do priests. Doctors, CEO's... they have different interests. The list of differences is as long as action itself.

But all these differences are what makes us one. One pulse in the universe, one nature, one being within one operating in a harmony that mind ceaselessly wants to understand. It's a love relationship that can transcend what we ever knew as reality. Nature of being. We all 'be'... buzzing around in search of some thing or things that we identify with... that we can connect to to further know our potential. We have all we need to know within to sculpt ourselves into what we shall become. It's a matter of acceptance of ourselves.
Accepting ourselves is so seemingly easy - just accept what we are. But mind has made it so complex... with our languages, our theories and philosophies, our interests, likes and dislikes, attachments and loneliness... we are complex and our complexities create levels of confusion and chaos as it does beauty and mystery in this life of duality. But there is a point within duality where perfect balance exists... the nature of all being, always present always here, now.

"How now brown cow..."
"How Now! brown cow."

'Now' is only the finger pointing... not what the finger is pointing at. To think about now is to leave the now. Now is not then, now is not when... not even Now is now for now has left Be hind. Now is word. Now is non-changing eternal presence... four words attempting to pacify mind to connect the dots leading to a place that is without beginning, without ending. Don't look for the word 'now' for that is illusion. Look through now to experience the presence residing within now. Use instinct, use surrender, use abandon, use trust to attain the infinite presence within reflecting through the prism of your authenticity to absorb your individuality - the nature of being
Nature is natural. It's within Nature to be. We are all Nature. We are all Being. Being is not all doing, but absorbing the energy of existence until enough energy ignites our awareness of understanding, accepting, becoming whole within the one where there is no finger pointing, no mind questioning, no leaders, no followers... only bliss of being - wholly holy.

~-On Aum-~

OM (AUM)- n. Hinduism & Buddhism. The supreme and most sacred syllable, consisting in Sanskrit of the three sounds (a), (u), and (m), representing various fundamental triads and believed to be the spoken essence of the universe. It is uttered as a mantra and in affirmations and blessings.
_____________________________||^||_____________________________

It has been said that the Universe is very noisy, understandable given the fact that there is so much activity going on - explosions, eruptions, meteorites and comets whizzing thru the cosmos, the implosion of old stars, births of new stars... the noise would be unbearable.

So why would Hinduism or Buddhism chose this word, OM, as being 'the spoken essence of the universe'? Each noise that I spoke of and the billions of others are simply notes within a cosmic composition much like each note of an instrument within a symphonic orchestra... the sound of each and all coalescing into one sound - OM.

As one candle light ignites all other candles, the original candle light is not reduced. It still burns but yet has passed its light onto multiple other candles. One sound, the sound of the original burning candle 'igniting' another sound and on and on the expansion continues... a symphony of sound, a symphony of light imitating it source.

Science has yet to produce facts that prove this conception but certainly the ancients spoke of it and aren't we all carriers of the DNA of these ancients?

If biologically we are all related thru DNA would it follow that thru that link there would be a predisposition somewhere within us there is a common truth, a common understanding of our own source? Not a difficult pill to swallow.

The larger question this would bring up is: "Do we, mankind, have an origin and is that origin the same for all species of Life?"

Our human origins, biblically speaking, originated with an Adam & Eve living a life of blissfulness within a Garden of Eden. This idea may have its own origins in seeing this Adam & Eve not as humans but Adam as 'Yin' and Eve as 'Yang'... two polarities, (not human), the masculine and the feminine energies living in harmony within a state of bliss (Garden of Eden). Going back a bit further in this idea, the story goes that Adam was lonely and wanted a companion and was given Eve which came from his rib. Could this rib be symbolized by the Yin/Yang symbol that shows a black center surrounded by the white side of the symbol... and the white center within the black.

This Yin/Yang symbol is circular and the circle is universally accepted as complete: the wholeness of life, the circularity of the planets, the circularity of rotation, the circular path of the galaxies and the circular pattern of the universe.

In order to adhere to the necessity of this circle-ness, Adam (Yin), had to have his Eve (Yang) or there would be no balance. Once the balance was provided this balance provided fullness, a wholeness (Holiness) of Being, not just human being, but the being of all Life.

The Edenic Life was interrupted by questioning... biting the proverbial apple. No longer able to simply revel in bliss, mind intruded upon this Eden and did what it does - questions... a 'devilish' act! A shift to another Yin/Yang where the completeness of bliss was shattered by questioning - mind versus no-mind... the sneakiness of mind slithering, snake-like, into our bliss with Who? What? When? Where? Why?... the five powers that drive mind.

One could see mind as a genetic function to allow the human to not only survive the earthly environment, but also mind as a delivery system to allow life, not exclusively human life, to survive beyond this Earth. Mind has given humans the ability to get off this earth and explore other worlds. As the possessors of mind it may be that it is mind over the human - the tool for life to survive beyond the inevitability of Earth's demise.

Twenty-Twenty. 20/20 is the perfect sight, no blurs, no fogs, nothing but beautiful clarity. Something we all need in this era of confusion, the lies and deceit *seem* to be coming to an end... the unsured-ness of where we may stand or what we might have believed for so long... now the crack in the walls that falsely protected us, is it really happening..? Will our species SEE Truth, at least a fair and needed glimpse that may wake us up to what we have done to our planet and where we must go to save our home from the mistaken ideas that have brought us to this moment in the evolution of mankind. We can (and should) focus more on awakening to the sleep we have been on, a sleep that brought us dreams and nightmares that we swear is "Truth"...

We have been fooled as an evolutionary species so young and child-like in our behavior... seeing this single planet as a sandbox that we have played with so much that we have convinced ourselves that all that we have wrongly done to the Earth is the way it should continue. How wrong we are to continue doing what we've been doing as long as we've been here.

We have to RE-DIRECT our goals and dreams to that of Saviors of Earth... save Gaia, the Greek mythological
concept of the personification of Earth that we have unwittingly near-destroyed in shear ignorance as to what we NOW need to be doing to redirect our Path of Indulgence that gave us false beliefs that WE are the Gifts of God that can do, because we are, all that we have done without regard of the consequences of that which we have done. The "We can so We do" philosophy that has been at fault as witnessed to those who can see all around us... a frightening sight that is turning our species into a whole different living beings that have lost our way due to ignorance...

~-The Absolute-~

Life includes the approachment of death, although this word 'death' is a cold one, isn't it? As if death were that darkman that lies in the shadows, anxiously awaiting to steal ones body and do the unspeakable with it. His dark hollowed eyes patiently staring at the weakening body, like vultures in the Serengeti awaiting their next meal from the last breaths of the wildebeest.

But the reality is death is the rebirth of life. No longer is the body necessary to carry out its potentiality that it was given at birth, we play our part accordingly, whether we are consciously aware of it or not...we live for an allotted time to either do what we are meant to do or ignore that same tribulation., then our task ends, our body put to rest to dissolve into the matter world to feed the perpetuality of existence.

It is the purity of consciousness that fuels the reason for living, an obscure and abstract reasoning that has left philosophers and religionists debating for eons as to the ultimate answer to the question: "Why are we here?" But the answer is found beyond the mind. The mind merely interprets the experience once the answer is found.

To question such is to try to fit the vastness of existence into our minds. Living is beyond the game play of logic and reasoning...those being just an aspect of the entirety. The old adage that 'the older I become the less I truly know' is coming to grips with this amazing phenomenon of life. We come to realize that it is not important why we are here, but accept that we are here. Once we completely accept simply being here we grow, we experience a transformation within that allows us to enjoy this gift of living, this gift of life. No longer struggling with our minds to understand, we can simply walk the earth and enjoy its beauty.

This simple acceptance opens up new channels within us. We can experience the love of life that surrounds our mind, that cradles our mind-fears, our mind-logic, our mind-analyzations...we touch upon the godliness of life that allows us to be free from our conditioning's that we grew up with for our personal survival to fit into our family, our community, our country. But seeking even further growth beyond these survival techniques allow us ever more freedom to truly know ourselves. These preliminary conditioning's are stepping stones so we may reproduce successfully, raise our offspring successfully...to learn our early growth when our hormones demand of us what we simply call 's*x.'

We are brought into the world thru s*x, we participate in s*x while living, and the greatest or**sm should be the finality of our earthly existence. I don't necessarily mean we should be screwing our heads off if we are elderly and weak, (although that would be a great fantasy for some), but we should be able to leave this plane of existence with the same propulsion of an or**sm - the ultimate release of our creative energies spewing into the cosmos, reuniting with all of existence... our godly freedom to experience the ultimate in love.

But as I've felt for years, we are evolutionary, we the hu'man being continues to evolve. We learn more about ourselves each generation. We pass on our knowledge to each generation. We continue to progress thru time to become our Self.

Someday we will learn to leave this world without pain, without guilt, without fear. Someday we will look forward to the inner message that our time is approaching an end and not fear it. Someday we will come to realize that there is no death, but a continuing cycle of birth, life, regeneration...for matter needs rest, matter needs change, matter is the ultimate reality that resides in Truth, and it is Truth that is Pure Consciousness which is never-ending, never changing...Absolute. To embrace the Absolute is the most godly experience of mankind, and someday we will all come to realize this before our 'death' to enrich our lives and those around us.

But continue to grow
into a flower

for this is where
our essence lies

Spiritu Rinse
_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Unencumbered solace from fractious underpinnings
the dayglo journey of tomorrow's dreams
awakened to hallowed glow spreading,
oozing like jam, like fire…

The noise of war for the sake of few
we tremble at the noxious taste
that has embittered our mouth
from the holy portending it's wise/dumb.

Whilst the enemies of seven blades
split wide the circumferential distortions
of machines built to enforce single panoramas
- vistas of sublime foolishness draped in targets.

Art - an Act of Creation

Art is an act of creation, and our creative powers allow us the moment of godliness, that makes us both divine and human. This 'human divinity' is the reflection of our souls. Bur in order for us to create, we usually must create alone. The lonely artist is the vision, anyway, that non-creative types have of the artist. But little do they know (or do they? some for sure.) that the artist when flowing is tuned in to some greater power that themselves, a 'channeling' if you will, the energy that transcends time and space, and puts the artist directly in the 'now', that point where time no longer exists, where there is no past or future, only that now.

"Contemporary mind is a contradiction in terms. Mind is never contemporary, it is always old. Mind is past and nothing else. Mind means memory. There can be no contemporary mind. To be contemporary is to be without mind."~~Osho
