This post is inspired the wonderfully written post by:
GoldenInsights
Your heart is the key to your dreams
Below, I take it further into the deepest aspects of…
Non Theological Common Sense
“Spirituality”.
People often have a deep, intrinsic understanding of
their true desires and aspirations.
Ignoring these inner feelings can lead to feelings of unfulfillment
and disconnection from oneself.
Recognizing and expressing these desires
can lead to greater satisfaction and alignment with one’s
true self.
The heart may reveal wants that are not immediately obvious
or that seem contradictory to surface-level beliefs.
These hidden desires can be surprising,
as they might not align with our logical expectations
or what we think we should want.
However,
they often stem from our deepest passions and true nature,
which are sometimes obscured by societal expectations, fear,
or self-doubt.
Listening to and acting on one’s inner voice
can foster a sense of purpose and inner peace.
Expressing true desires requires courage
and can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal growth.
Trusting in one’s inner voice helps create a life that is in harmony
with one’s true passions and potential.
Here:
I take it further into the deepest aspects of…
“Spirituality”.
I agree that it is important to find
‘Conventional meaning’ to this life…
All but the fully enlightened,
need to be able to find a way to
fulfill their ego-mind-body’s creative ‘being’…
But,
On a deeper spiritual ‘Path’…
One needs to determine, what is the ego’s needs…
And
What is the True Path…
To the ‘wordless Wisdoms’ experienced in
the natural higher states of consciousness
through the depths of “Insight meditation”.
I have found that,
the highest goal of Enlightenment
is the goal a truly inspired ‘aspirant’
needs to be concerned with.
All else is… trivial.
Like the identity that ‘we’ mistake our ‘selves’ to be…
These egoic ‘passions’ will not bear the ‘fruit’ of our highest ‘passions’.
Along our ‘Path’…
We can learn to … discriminate.
Knowing that:
All beings created in this life…
Will inherently face … a lifetime of challenges.
How one suffers or is effected by them is a measure of
how well we can perceive it all…
in the non dual perspective of
allowing boundless space …
Each of these challenges has a degree of severity
based on how profoundly it effects one’s ability
to live a reasonable life.
Just starting a journey to discover the wordless Wisdoms of …
‘just knowing’…
Achieved by a process of
thinning out the mind’s distractions long enough…
to the point that…
When enough of the mind’s many sub groups,
inspired by the various physical senses…
and
the countless spin offs of the mind’s sub consciousness sub groups…
The more of these mental sub sets…
that become ‘aligned with one’s conscious intention…
Likely,
the breath…
Then,
A deeper level of ‘awareness’ becomes a natural option…
Only requires continuing the effort of focus-concentration…
Long enough for the ‘effortless’ part to take over.
This is the spiritual aspect of what GoldenInsights
Presents in a ‘conventional’ ego-mind-body perspective:
“Your heart is the key to your dreams”
In the very deep end of a true
non-theological common sense Spiritual Path…
There is a phase or stage in which one drops
the tangle form of a meditational object…
Typically the breath…
And transcends to direct Awareness to
the formless or objectless meditation focus.
When this process begins…
One’s meditation profoundly moves towards a
peaceful, easy, joyful, happy flow.
The body becomes pacified…
it no longer offers up any distractions of un-comfort.
The mind becomes all that joy…
It feels like love.
To fall in love with this new ‘flow state’…
Is to “Follow the Heart”.
This becomes,
the beginning of entering
the highest states of human consciousness.
To get to a point that these higher ‘Jhana’ states can be…
approachable…
One has to be in a ‘place in life’
or,
at a very deep nature that
distractions can be as they are and moved on quickly…
And,
Maintain the highest form of ‘Equanimity’.
This is the highest goal of any ‘Path’.
However
In the meantime…
Golden Insights statements are very important in the
‘conventional‘ aspect of our ‘human nature..
as opposed to the absolute ‘True Nature’ of our ‘higher Self.
Fulfilling one’s creative being, is perhaps
the most important pursuit one should be true too.
To be True to “one’s Self”…
is to at least acknowledge that a
personal inquiry into one’s True Self
is the inspiration required to put in the “Right Effort”
to more understand the big picture.
But
often to get there.,.
Life goes on…
Challenges
will often derail our attempts at understanding
… and…
Equanimity.
Our limited wee brain systems looses
it’s depth of focus for ‘Insight meditation’….
But,
All other aspects of our “Practice”
can be done with our ‘conventional minds’.
John Yates, AKA Culadasa…
was a neuro scientist, psychologist, and
a lifelong meditation mentor… points out
how the mind systems work…
It proves that:
“We”… are not in charge
and certainly not in control.
What we thought about the “Me”
within this ego-mind-body…
This test has been repeated countless times…
While hooked up in an MRI…
They compared the timing to when event or
a question is presented
and
when the part of the brain ‘registers’ a response.
They compare that time with when the subject
presses a button when they consciously know the answer.
Each time,
The decision has been ‘sub’ consciously made,
long before the conscious part of awareness can start to observe…
delayed by the time it takes for each mental senses
and such to create a response agenda….
Knowing that,
by the time ‘we’ are consciously aware of something…
Our sub consciousness mind has already determined a response.
Much like when…
If we reach out to pick up a water pot
we thought was not hot … but,
it it is boiling hot…
“We” drop if faster than
‘we’ even knew what was going on.
It is these sub minds,
built by the aspects of the mind…
Are what that “Inner voice” comes from and or speaks to.
Once one’s life is in harmony with their passions…
the potential is always limitless.
Once one finds that harmony…
The True Path and journey can begin.
Then,
Our highest desires and ‘passions’ are…
‘the Path’.
Self-inquiry…
The potentials limitless.
With this volition…
Our highest passions can be naturally fulfilled.
When our ‘Inner voice’ speaks…
The evolved mind can ask:
Are these ego driven suggestions…
Or
inspirations that lead to deeper ‘Insights’.
This small act of discrimination…
Leads to the ultimate Fruition of…
Liberation.
Namaste,
