We have to start paying attention to our disability in perceiving things as they are, noticing the contrived meat that fills our minds when we think of and experience reality. We have to stop using these contrivances on a personal, social, and institutional basis. We have to make an effort to popularize the idea to demystify all the bullshit that surrounds us and cultivate the will personally to free ourselves from what is comfortable and readily available. We have to step outside the box. This isn't forming a new spirituality or a new group. It is deconstructing the ideas we have about religions and spirituality in general. It means recognizing the deep fantasy we are immersed in and becoming sick of it and the plague it is for our civilization. We can't be grounded until we eliminate the floof.
When we step outside the box, we don't find a new one, we get rid of the box altogether. The box is what makes us too comfortable and dreamy. Then we lose touch with reality and stub our toe or worse. If a teacher communicates their understanding through an indirect approach, it can easily be misinterpreted. If the culture of the population seeking to understand is not objective, they cannot understand fully even regardless of whether the approach is direct or indirect. My aim is to reveal objectivity so that society itself becomes capable of being objective and understanding reality directly. A society that understands reality directly through objectivity won't pass on diluted methods for discovering what they have to future generations. They won't need to use metaphor or any trick. Their understanding will be stripped of cultural archetype and all contrived notions. Being objective, it will pose the least risk of misleading someone through misinterpretation. As important to me as this understanding is, is the gradual objectivization of society at large. The purpose of demystifying spirituality is for my benefit and for society at large. I wish to pull the mote of myth out of our eyes so I don't have to deal with the bullshit of other people as much as myself. So that I and we all can be free. I want to free myself and I want to free the mind of our society.
To get outside of the box and to kill it forever with violent force, we have to examine our own mind and the nature of this mind. We have to examine our beliefs, our ambition, our feelings, and our assumptions. By assassinating our assumptions with awareness and contemplation we can refine our beliefs, purify our ambition, and delve deeper into our feelings. The goal is to eliminate beliefs altogether, because belief is faith in something that you do not fully know but have strong feelings about. Our goal is to see things directly and understand them fully. This cannot be done if we do not see things directly, if we operate on belief.
I guess at the moment I just don't trust existing traditions in the fulfillment of this ambition. I don't like that these traditions exist. I don't like how their cultures are so isolated, I don't like that they have established cultures. I don't feel like these cultures are good enough for what I want to accomplish and experience. I don't want a society to exist where there religions are perceived as differently as Buddhism and Christianity. I want people to see how silly the notions of "Christianity" and "Buddhism" are, how there practices and flavors, however well they may serve people, are contrived and ultimately dissatisfactory. The desire to participate in a group with its own particular intent and ability is undesirable. To have such a distinction is undesirable because such a pursuit is fantastical and ungrounded in the reality of this moment. When enough people see this, such groups and traditions will not exist as they do today. Such cannot exist when reality is seen clearly by enough people.
To get outside of the box we have to come to some realizations. There is no special group or tradition or path that is best to get to enlightenment. All ways to enlightenment are not distinct. The differences are perceived and unreal. The path to enlightenment is utterly individual and truly transpersonal. Their really is no path because this is it. Enlightenment itself is an idea. The experience of enlightenment is illusory as is the experience of conditioned reality. These are just some, and these have floof in them.
What are the apparent dimensions within dimensions of reality? How do we navigate them? How do we understand how they interrelate? How do we deconstruct the mythos that surround them?
How do we evolve our consciousness? How do we eliminate floof from our own minds? What can we do to foster objectivity in our society? How do we spread deconstructed understanding and spirituality throughout the planet?
Leverage is necessary for change. With liberated understanding we can create liberated techniques to amplify our leverage.
The surface of established religions isn't real. Because the religions themselves aren't real. They say and do things differently. They may have different ideas about things. But the notion of the separate identities of different religions is unreal. Consciousness is merely arranged differently in different places. I think what I am looking for is a practice that acknowledges this and doesn't seek to establish any conventions. I'm not sure you could call it a practice, more like a collective realization that leads to activity that despises convention to the smallest minutiae. People who don't want to create a religion or a path and who don't. Who instead expound reality as it is without conditioned perspectives.
I think other great traditions and teachers do this, but the wording they use is archetypal and traditional. I think this works for some people, but I want to advocate for complete objectivity in the language used. Eventually it will become apparent that the deep meanings of traditional doctrines are identical, and their roots are completely objective, but I want to advocate for this now perhaps without participating in a particular traditional path. I think what I personally feel is a complete disinterest in participating in any archetypal religious behavior even when it is deeply esoteric. I just don't like the contrivances attached to these traditional forms. God the Father, using He or Him. I want something without this flavoring, something completely distilled, and I want it to spread. I think I abhor the fantasy that has bewitched the human psyche filling it with non-real conventions and archetypes. I find these debilitating and imprisoning. I don't want to live in a fantasy and I don't want to propagate fantasy. I really want to kill the fantasy. Killing all fantastical notions within myself and helping to kill them in the world.
I think many enlightened teachers are objective in themselves while they coat their teachings in fluff so that people can digest it. I think we are at a point now where we can take away the fluff and reveal the essence of things.
What's ironic is the only way I can express my deep feelings often is through archetypal esoteric expression. I wonder what it is like to feel these things without these modes of expression? Without these filters.
I feel like I won't feel satisfied until I am completely free from all inhibitions. Until I am completely enlightened.
