SHACK 260 JOINING

Pins Daddy

The feeling of joy, ecstasy and grace at moments was just the brain at rest from the onslaught of ego mind chatter and batter, and then I felt it was presumptuous and arrogant to even assume that this was the presence of the Source, the Creators Spirit joining with my spirit.  

Then I realised ‘I’ as above is personal and local mind a personal agenda and that like a bottle of water, the water being the spirit source and the life force with the cork being the ego which has to be partially opened for this form to live and have life.

There has to be a drip and an opening or hole in the cork so that some life force ‘water’ can seep through. However the water maybe dark and cloudy stained by the ego agenda, however various methods of purification can be employed. Prayer, meditation (the highest form of prayer) this is because one is not requesting just being empty minded and ready to receive without wanting something in return.

There is an alternative version the water is merely murky and the cork is open and oneness was there all the time it is a matter of clearing the muck and cloudiness out of the water.

There is a contentious point arising here; some religious people I have met fear being empty makes a space for the evil devil to occupy, I find that if one is aware and not drifting off to sleep or getting into a hypnotic or trance state, a dull mind full of anguish, then knowing one is the witness and not some foreign personality or feeling of not being myself, then this is adequate and then one can feel the joy of the silence and peace.

The water in the bottle joins with the water from the Ocean Of Life which is the Source. The body in this example is the body and the water in the bottle the soul, when the two fully unite there is the absence of the ego and there is joy, peace and feeling of being at home. The cork has to have something remaining otherwise the body life would be unable to retain its form, the minimum shape of the cork determines the ingress of the water, this means the ego is almost not apparent and is only there to serve the small requirements of daily living.

In the example of the water merely blemished one does the same process of purification it is merely that drips of water seeping through the cork gives less energy and in murky water more energy is attained by the same clearing process.

It is very much like the iris of a camera and as the iris opens it lets in more light (water as in example) or like it lets more water light join with the whole.  It is this wearing away of the cork and opening of the iris which are both of the same process that is the purification, realisation and awakening which one may undertake in the quest of the so named spiritual path and it has been known that some have had spontaneous awakenings without the so felt laborious disciplines and searching to obtain this awakening. It would be nice if this happened to me. However taking the long path may have its advantages in garnering wisdom and perhaps deep compassion and understanding of human ego agendas.

When the cork has gone and the iris fully opened  or the water clear and bright and a complete joining is made, the cork and the iris have served their purpose, or there is just clear water, dissolve so does the bottle. The bottle ‘body’ is gently laid aside to join the Earth or Fire.  The purpose of this life maybe the joining and the way of it in the body maybe determined by destiny or karma.
