Self Knowledge, Stops The Circles.
Do we keep going round because we don't know we can get off the ride?
Do we keep going round because we don't know we can get off the Drama Llama?
Do we keep going round because we don't know we can get off the spinning hampster wheel?
One part of me, the part that is crazy, the part that loves going in circles, round and round Loves The Drama of Life. The part of me that enjoys the thrill of The Never Ending Ride, The Story of The Circuitous Drama, The Busyness of Spinning Wheels. I have been well conditioned. I have followed the crowd. I have done as I'm Told (and sold...)
Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!
Spin Me Right Round... ad naseum. Possibly 'till I puke... or I'm broke. Or declared mentally ill. Or grossly dis-eased... Kept spinning by those with vested interests in keeping me ill, or sick or spinning.
But faaaaaark, Externally Spinning Wheels are so goddam tiring.... or deadly... eventually.
The other part of me rejects this spinning repetition in favour of peace.
Peace is the continuous, changeless, unbroken reality.
But hang on, Isn't that just another circle?
I think that "peace" which is sought is mimicked by repetition and ritual and practice and hard work.
By being yet another externally divisive endless circle.
That "peace" which seeks to demonstrate unbrokenness.
By being another spinning broken record.
Crazy.
Do we keep going round because we don't know we can get off the ride?
So what comes next?
What is deeper than these spinning circles?
Is there stillness?
And if so, Where is this stillness to Be realized?
The part of me that is invincible, still, fearless turns away from the external cycle, the drama, interrupts the repetition of an assumed external "peace" and turns towards the invisible, the known in the unknown, the manifested in the unmanifested, the already always present and self realised, My Well of Self.
I find "My Invisible Self" to be more vast and unchanging than the visible, the external and an imposed witnessed "peace".
I am following that path of my unchanging Self more and more and leaving the ever changing cycles and circles behind.
It is Faith. It is Grace. It is consciousness. Trust Thy Self.
I didn't know if I should before, it seemed so natural and even encouraged to respect the "accepted" cycles that "everyone was following, everyone was doing"
But the changeless has no cycles, or circles, it is already endlessly perfect. It is simply To Be.
(or "not To Be... That Is The Question"... as William Shakespeare wrote 4 centuries ago...)
So Now, I leave you with three simple questions.
Is nature (creation) perfect and whole?
Are we a part of nature? (creation)
Are we therefore whole and perfect, exactly as we already are?
The Self is changeless.
The Self is simple (not easy)
The Self has No more circles, No more cycles. No more change.
The Self is already whole and perfect.
The Self is Union with Self.
And any Struggle ceases when Self is realised and ignorance is removed.
Stop going round in circles because we can get off the ride.
If we choose to start and go all the way To Truth.
"If there is still a problem, you are it"
