THE FIVE REMEMBRANCES

Zenfully Quool Quotes Quommentary

by rog

Each and every one of us will have to come to terms with …

the Nature of our being.

Most folks pretend to find solace in believing in a ‘belief system’…

Convinced that if they believe or pretend strong enough… it will come true

:-O

Where they get to pretend when they die,

they will go to a ‘heavenly place’ and imagine they will get a ‘heavenly body’

as promised in their man made up mythic scriptures.

Then,

They hope and pray this ‘heavenly body’

 will be in better shape that when they died.

So,

They spend their life refining the myth of a ‘heavenly body’…

Younger, stronger, more beautiful and pleasing to their vain egos.

So it seems…

Most folks seek bliss through a lifetime of reinforced ignorance.

But,

That’s ok …

What ever happens when our bodies flat line will be, for the most part…

Ineffable.

Words can’t describe it, and the concepts are

beyond anything we’ve experienced in this ‘here & now’

to come close to a conceptualization our analytic ego body mind can grasp.

In deep spirit…

after a lifetime of spiritual philosophy and psychology…

It can simply be summed up that…

Everything is Always Already Alright.

As natural as the falling rain,

whatever it is that is our ‘Eternal Nature’…

Is much like a raindrop.

A raindrop will fall from the clouds with natural pull of gravity,

make its way to rivers, that makes it’s way to the ocean…

Just like our ‘True Nature’ of Pure Awareness or Consciousness

will naturally flow towards an ocean of consciousness…

Were ‘we’ flow insuperably into all that is…

There will be no ego over here that is at one with is all over there…

There will be

No more you and me, no more they and we…

Just Unity.

First of all… We are like a raindrop, and… a raindrop…

Is water…. H2O

H2O does not have any plans, ambitions, fears or neurotic anxieties…

It’s just water.

The elements may combine with other elements

to form other compounds.

When certain compounds combine with certain other compounds…

More complex compounds are formed.

Consider our bodies to just be highly evolved compounds.

When our body flat lines…

the elements that form the various compounds in our body

don’t disappear…

They simply transform into other forms or compounds.

This all sounds very spiritually poetic.

But,

Keep in mind that however poetically the ‘here after’ is described…

Most folks will never ever experience anything that can relate to

 how all this ‘Timeless Wonder of it All’ feels like.

For those so inspired…

the spiritual ‘aspirant’ can learn the philosophies and psychologies

that help form the ‘Right Views’…

During the very deep end of the ‘Path’

once ‘Insight Meditation’ is experienced during the Higher states of consciousness…

A sort of ‘disembodiment’ occurs…

Where the false perspective of there being a ‘mini-me’

somewhere inside that calls all the shots… seems to be in control…

This mis-perception fades more and more until True ‘Self Realization

becomes the perspective that is unperturbable…

This is the perception of the ‘Enlightened’ Being.

Yet,

Regardless of if one is ‘Enlightened’ or just completely ignorant of such things…

Even if they have devoted their whole lives to

believing a completely made-up fantasy…

All of us are like drops of water.

We all will flow along, as natural as the falling rain…

Towards an indescribable sense of Awareness that

Glows like Love,

Feels like Bliss and Joy…

Except…

In this ‘Natural State’…

there is no ego to recognize these feelings or emotions.

Again,

Those so inspired can devote themselves to a Spiritual Path…

And with the ‘Right Effort’,

they will experience

the deep Jhana ‘Insight Meditation states of Higher consciousness.

Know that all of this Divine curiosities will not affect your afterlife…

But,

It will help answer those questions about…

What comes after this life… while still in this life.

These Wisdoms will not give you Super Man Powers…

But,

They allow you to live a fulfilled creative, fully normal and natural life…

Without the burden of ignorance…

You’ll be free to live a life Liberated from

the inherent ‘pain & suffering’

that the ignorance of one’s True Nature

challenges most of us with our whole life.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
