DISCONNECTING the MECHANISM of ...

[Michael Grove]

 

 INTERPRETATION

It is appropriate as we approach that TIME of YEAR - particularly in view of tonight's total eclipse of the moon and that phenomenons relationship to SUPER MASSIVE BLACK-HOLES in their role as engines of creation - that we should consider Deng Ming-Dao's words -

INTERPRETATION


ALL that we experience is subjective. There is no sensation without interpretation.

We create the world and ourselves;
Only when we stop do we see the truth

Inner truth is only glimpsed by

disconnecting the mechanism of interpretation.

THE degree of absence of thinking  IS ...

THE arbiter of ultimate spiritual awareness 

TIME nOw to UNDERSTAND that FOCUS IS POWER

If we can withdraw the activities of the senses and isolate that

part of the mind responsible for filtering sensory input, then we

can temporarily shut off the ongoing process of interaction with

the outside world. 

We will then be in a neutral place that is wholly turned inward.

We are left with an absolute state, entirely without distinction or relativity.

This is called nothingness - and it is the truth underlying ALL THINGS

ATTACHMENT is the great fabricator of illusions
REALITY can be attained only by someone who is detached.

Well said–at this point of complete neutrality where not knowing and knowing merge, the faults of perspective seem moot. It is the void which defines purpose.

Enough attachment, I am pulling the plug… :)

I want to be able to BE, as I feel when I am in the water…free
I want to dream, and make the dreams and visions reality….truths
I want to be responsible for my actions, while not letting that moment of fear…connect me again.

I want to mirror love, with all I can BE, and that is going to be very interesting :)

Thanks, Michael
I think I will rejoin my friends at the butterfly farm :)

I’ve never heard a better discussion of nothingness. You helped me simplify my understanding of a sacred and necessary experience.

Such a wonderful example of your maxim of ‘behind simplicity is complexity” and how you think about being able to handle complexities through thinking about them in simpler terms.

I have since given the term 'nothingness' a label, a word, and that is 'blisstasy'' and anyone interested in more on that can go to my blog and search for the word as I think there are two references.

blisstasy n. that spiritual ‘quality of being’ or ‘state of being’ which is beyond the physical/mental (emotional) experience and surpasses joy, bliss, love et al.

SO THAT I might realise that the evolutionary destiny

What a powerful video song, Michael. BOY, have I ever been there!!

Coming back, from many a step full ladder, I have certainly advanced upward.
…….whu!
All I say to this spiritual up bringing, is that it is soo worth it:))

Thanks for the lovely feed/come back of this worldly encounter of whence it all began ….so totally ROCKS!

I like the song and would have to study the other things further so that I can make it my own too. Thanks for linking me to her.
