When you see God within everything it becomes startlingly clear that no one really exists, not even oneself. There is really nothing but God here unfolding unerringly according to unchangeable cosmic constructs. I don't even think God is the best word. I think there are too many ideas tied to the word God that make it difficult to use the word to describe what underlies all experience.
As much as I have come to learn about this mystery, I feel profoundly at a loss to describe what it is, finding it incredible I can see what I do, discover what I have.
I notice how conditioned belief-perceptions distort my understanding while at the same time participating in the interwoven matrix of thought-perceptions which create the awareness of what truth I am able to perceive.
I am frustrated by my difficulty in overcoming established perception-routes to and of God-Reality. I am also frustrated in what I perceive to be the limitations of these set traditional paths. These limitations inherent in the archetypal forms used by these traditions to express truth. I believe many of these limitations are perceived because of my own limited faculties (being due to my own ignorance) rather than being real shortcomings in these traditions. What I wish to overcome is any cultural/traditional image or idea used as a mechanism for revealing truth. I wish to see things with unconditional awareness, pure objectivity. While one can enjoy the colors traditions may add to the spiritual experience, I find them also to be disturbing and dissatisfying because of how they lodge themselves between my awareness and what is, being inescapable filters which reduce pure light to something less than it is.
Different traditions use different techniques to free the mind from these conditioned traps, yet seem to become ensnared in their own devices. I wish to participate in spiritual experience and shared spiritual experience in a way completely free from all set forms. In a way that is radically free. I know traditional forms can reach many in very liberating ways. I just hope to participate in one that is objective to the core and doesn't utilize any traditional or cultural clothing. One that has absolutely zero association with traditional/conventional forms. I think perhaps this type of spirituality hasn't surfaced because the human psyche has remained deeply emmeshed in myth. Which equates to dream, which means I am not interested. I want to tell people plainly what reality is and not invent anything to get them to see it. I think we may be able to do this now. I am so tired of the fantasy of these cultural/traditional forms that dilute everything we experience and that keep us in a dream. I think by eliminating these from our practices we can better free ourselves to live and see fully what is here to live and see.
Most people are not going to be interested in this, nor capable of understanding, but I think it is essential that this translation/study be undertaken. I think it will pave the way forward. It will become more popular/central as time goes on. All our problems are born from not directly understanding what is happening. We have to build our understanding on objectivity if we wish to cultivate wisdom. If such a thing is possible as perfected perception or perfect Wisdom, then all contrivances must be done away with. I hope that more and more people will be interested in this approach and disinterested in the fantasy of archetypal spirituality. I hope people will come to realize that even the idea that all religions are One is floofy.
I wish for human understanding to be naked from the clothing of eternally-slumbering archetypal-conditioned contrivances.
