Peace to you
Peace be with me
And who is this me
Who is this being
Is it a being
Or is it no-thing-being
Is peace the answer of biology
To the reality of no-thing
Embodied?
I once attended Buddhist retreat
With a woman who used to be a man
But she did the switch the old fashioned way
With a scroll given her by her Guru
Transplanting consciousness
Into a willing disciple
I attended her Retreat years ago
And she asked something along the lines of “What is illusory?”
I said, “Me!”
She said, “Maybe.”
I asked her what does the moon have in common with ultimate reality
She said “Nothing.”
Did you she mean the moon IS nothing
That it is empty?
Or that material reality has no-thing to do with nothingness, with origin point, True Nature?
If nothing is here playing this game
If no one is here to watch it
Yet it is watched
Played
Witness and prayed
Beyond duality subject/object
Not a thing
Not a concept
Not a perception
Might be come within no-thingness
A thing
A concept
a perception
A you
A me
Times three
Or three quadrazillion
And all the universes and all the stories in them
Are they fiction? For sure!
Are they happening in the mind of the infinite?
Take a zero
If you twist it, it’s an eight - so I learned from a They Might Be Giants kids’ album
And so says the Diamond Sutra - all creation is seen as distortion, some benevolent, some non-benevolent - distortion has a negative connotation to me, but what if it’s not inherently so?
How does no-thing give rise to all that is?
The infinite. The nothing. It’s the same, with a twist, which can be benevolent or non-benevolent
Zero means so much
Yet its meaning is nothing
Until you create something from nothing that is still nothing
Of course its all happening in your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it isn’t real?
I was talking about this on a walk with my husband and son.
According to the Sophia Code, we are all holographs in the mind of God, endowed with every attribute of Sophia, who is seen as the fullness of God - both formless (Sunyata/emptiness/no-thing) and the light that the womb of God births, out of which is created every other aspect and element of form, of creation, of you, of us all, from the littlest speck of dust and probiotics in your GI tract all the way to the innumerable universes that all exist as an interconnected body of Christ, arising, ascending as we do, one daily choice at a time.
Just because you are a holograph doesn’t mean you aren’t a real holograph inside the mind of that which has no mind, yet contains all that we call mind. Which I learned additionally in Buddhist cosmology, is located in the heart, not the head.
Rinpoche, the Tibetan master says maybe I am illusory.
What if all introduced ourselves as, “Hi, I am a hologram of God, expressing as…(other identities)
What if the parts of us that feel like a nobody are closest of all to the truth that liberates and transcends all worthlessness, allowing us to invite our divine worthiness to shine forth without attachment?
Through non attachment it is possible to arrive at the point of making a choice and then to take a step back, to pause in the eternal now. When I dispassionately meditate on the wisdom of a choice, I often discover that the choice is unnecessary, and no action is required. Non attachment buys us those extra moments to ensure that with our every encounter, we leave the world in a better place.
