SHACK 47 HARD TO SWALLOW

alex wijnen

Shattering the illusion that even awareness, being present as the great Eastern Philosophy and practice advices is OK to a point.

The false reality of the ego a catch in the net of Life's experience's not taking into account perish the thought many lives before---your kidding! All this adds up to just what they are  just experience's which change like the weather and the seasons and looked into and examined should bring one to the awakening----are these really real?  Is this all the world and reality is, changing with the idioms, fashions and crazes, religions, politics and scientific discovery which usually says 'all that theory and theories were OK for that era but now-----?  Changing one's mind fundamentally changes one's reality-----so what is really real, a solid reality?  Maybe there isn't one----that's hard to swallow.

Yet realizing there is the reality of no reality can be liberating or really just contemplated and felt as dare it be said----real.

If just an idea, mental and intellectual masturbation then clean underwear maybe the reality of the day.

There is an awareness which watches so it  feels that one is on the look out for what is not ego, this is the sentinel of some spiritual or philosophical concept measuring experiences and thoughts as yea or nay according to the precepts of that concept.  Then there is the awareness of the ego on the look out for a breach in its fortress and quick to summon up its defense and attack, its vast arsenal and array of weaponry which it can modify and maneuverer exceedingly rapidly and change like a chameleon with subtle nuances and camouflage. 

So what is there?  Only one who has gone, literally gone, in or out of the body and ceases to exist as a body and yet is an awareness and yet not consciously mind dead becomes that which is.

This is not hard to swallow because there is nowt there to swallow.  

SHACK

There's nowt so queer as folk.  An old Northern UK saying. 

Todo o nada --all or nothing  Spanish    

No hay nada mas----there is nothing else.  Spanish.

neeshtoh--nothing.  Russian
