For *Now,* let's work on that ...O...
Draw a circle, and put a dot *in the middle* of it. =)
That's what the Universe looks like, its physics dynamics! It is also what YOUR physics dynamics look like! Yep! You were born from that *middle.* Everyone is! And so is Everything, Everywhere, every Event, every Happening, every Whatever, Ever...in the entire Universe!
Hold your hand up in front of yourself, palm facing you! That is *within!*
Turn your palm away from yourself. That is *without!*
Back to yourself... *Within!*
Back out to the world... *Without!*
*Within*Without*Within*Without!* See the *reflection?*
See why becoming Enlightened holds SUCH ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY that goes way beyond yourself and your own personal needs? That dot *in the middle* is the Ultimate Universal Truth of yourself, in its perfectmost state of *balance.* If you *do the work* enough to actually *access* that perfectmost *Core* of yourself, you will discover that you have ALSO *accessed* the Ultimate Truth of the entire Universe itself! Daunting, huh?! It is an exact superimposition of yourself! Absolutely for real! It moves as you move! You move as it moves! See why that *access* is soooo truly extraordinary? Suddenly, everything comes together, the biggest of all *AHA!s*
Face your palm to yourself again. Now close all your fingers until they, too, meet *in the middle* at a point. Open your hand. Close it. Open it again. Close it again. Open, close, open, close... Starting to look familiar?
Seems impossible though, doesn't it? How could it be? Well, if you stay on the *clear path* to Consciousness / Enlightenment, there will be all sorts of totally unfathomable experiences just like that, with genuine *wormholes* you suddenly find yourself falling through like Alice in Wonderland's lookingglass adventures, when you least expect it, whisking you away to parallel *realities* / dimensions you never dreamed were ever-present. These unfathomable experiences showing you momentary *glimpses* into the most extraordinary *aha!*s-in-the-making, will require you to simply set them aside, as if kept in a metaphorical "folder" or glass jar for a while, as you *do more work* and learn more universal *connections,* and little by little that stash of "unfathomables* will diminish, as one by one you begin to figure out how it all soooo beautifully fits together like the most magnificent puzzle ever, and becomes *One.*
*Reflection,* or movement TOWARD the Universal *Core,* is the *work* you do when you stop trying to TELL the Universe what it has to be, based on your own personal beliefs and needs, and you start ASKING it what it actually is, and what is actually going on. How is it going to answer you? The more you *align* yourself with your own *Core* truth (which is NOT subjective or personally decided upon, but rather inherent to your very Existence in the world, a mathematical process too complex to discuss at this part of your journey), the more you restore your *Ultimate Empathy,* the dissolution of yourself into All/Awe Else, where all physicality disappears, and *Being at One* with the entire Universe only naturally comes with the Ultimate Answers of All/Awe!
Invertedly, *projection* is when you move AWAY FROM that Ultimate Universal *Core* Truth of the Universe (that dot *in the middle*), which is also the truth of yourself! That very first step ~ away from ~ the perfectmost balanced Truth at the *Core* is that *one grain of sand* that transforms *The Nothing* into *The Something!* It is what Christians inadvertently call "sin!" It is the beginning of human (all sentient / *experiencing beings*) invention! As you move further away from that perfectmost *Core* balance, you become increasingly distracted from the Truth of both yourself and the Universe, as you get yourself all wrapped up in the tangled webs you weave, those stories you tell yourself again and again until even you have forgotten you've invented them! After a while, and supported by more than 99% of the entire world's population doing precisely the same, all those inventions / projections become "tradition," around which many more inventions are created to celebrate and protect that tradition, and, next thing you know, you are so caught up in your vested interests that you believe define you, that there is little chance of your ever being brave enough, or secure enough, to allow yourself to *challenge* yourself to perceive your life, all life, all others, the world, the Universe itself, in any other way! In fact, your personal defense mechanisms have been established with every choice, belief, action taken toward those traditions and vested interests, as a means to feel ensured that none of what you have created for yourself will ever be taken away! And the result... Neverending war, *within yourself* X *without yourself!* When more than 99% of the entire world's population is unconsciously doing that, the result is neverending WAR! Holocausts, slavery, apartheid, terrorism, abuse, cruelty, bullying, devastating weather/whether... =(
Consciousness / Enlightenment, the restoration of your Ultimate *Core* Truth, the place of all the Answers you so desperately seek in life, which is also the Ultimate *Core* Truth of the entire Universe, can ONLY be *accessed* when you find within yourself the courage to "let go" of all those tangled webs you've woven, to clear away the clouds, to *access* the Ultimate Clarity that genuinely...*Answers Everything!*
Scary proposition...all the unknowns, as you set out on your quest for the Truth!
Where do you begin? How do you gather up enough *courage,* and muster up enough *trust,* to allow the process to unfold for yourself? How do you even know WHAT to trust? Or WHO to trust?
The WHO is *YOU!* =)
Next... *How to* discover that courage and trust *all within YOUR very own heart and soul!*
:)
