Brainy Quotes
The
interesting aspect of permanence is that nearly everyone seeks it in some form
or other. To seek permanence is in a way related to security. I want to be
around forever, I want immortality; I want everlasting health, being a
billionaire, a king, prime minister or a position of power or being in simple
life and in the wilds one can have these feelings.
The
thing with being in a last for ever mode is that one usually has to do so much
to ensure one’s health, earn a living, find the perfect partner or a satisfying
compromise and then challenges arise and question the ever lasting mode. Even
on the death bed one can say I am going to eternity and will last for ever
there, I will reincarnate and perpetuate myself there; my body will be frozen
until all disease, pestilence, war and greed have ended. This quest is going on
now with stem cells, genetics and other means.
Cryonics uses temperatures below −130°C, called
cryopreservation, in an attempt to preserve enough brain information to permit
future revival of the cryopreserved person. Cryopreservation may be
accomplished by freezing, freezing with
cryoprotectant to reduce ice damage, or by vitrification to avoid ice damage.
This I have discussed
elsewhere in the articles is a compound of ideas, conditioning and programming,
it can be very flexible to suite accommodating fruitful outcomes or can be
rigid and stubborn as in this is ‘my foundation, my God, my religion, my dogma,
my culture, my politic, my everything, my life, my I AM. The realisation even
through science shows that all will eventually crumble. I have seen in hospice
situations where a person so clings to life that they have a very painful passing,
also those who are in pain and disappointment who wish to go and some who want to
go with painful illnesses and apart from euthanasia and suicide, one being a
conscious choice and the other a desperation and no way out but to end it all. So
maybe permanence is change and the caution here is like making an identity
about no identity and that finding permanence in non permanence as an identity and
mind plans and discipline, just another programme and self brain washing and
conditioning. The quest then for permanence is a quest for and everlasting
personal local identity in the form of ‘I’.
Looking at security
where is secure; a fortress built underground, a trillion billion money hoard,
a King or other power based acquirements, these come and go as we see from
history, even the giants of the solar system Jupiter, Saturn, Sun and Earth
will go and they are not secure, so shall we flesh mortals be. Then again we can play mind games, I will be
secure when I go to heaven, after all I have been a religious, pious and devoted to my
faith and ministered to the needy, then a doubt can I really be sure, after all I was taught
these things and I have seen death war and destruction, whose faith is right, are there those who have no faith and they survive, where on Earth is there a
safe country, climate and a place to live, who can give assurance I will be
secure? My health can make me feel insecure as can the lack of money and so on.
When one faces this a questioning comes to mind, either I face it or ignore it.
Since every person
has an agenda, an angle, a point of view even amongst the most stringent like
minded communities, even if they do not express it openly and only in their
private thoughts, can we find unconditional love here. I have met
‘unconditional love’ the love and light groups they often sit on the fence, and like me judgemental and a sort self benign righteousness. I feel that being in human company no matter
what laudable morality, logic, philosophy or psychology they espouse, it is
still conditional. In relationships it is difficult to be ‘not acting’ the love
and on examination was or is the emotional love just a way of avoiding being
left on the shelf, an escape from loneliness or poverty or a way of finding
security and even when the relationship breaks down maybe a compromise ‘I’ll
put up with it, better the devil I know, out of the frying pan into the fire,
there are some far more worse off than me and so on’.
So we may learn and
see that there is no such thing as permanence, no such thing as security and
unconditional love is not possible. However these maybe experienced in
makeshift ways, such as short term permanence, short lease security and a
mistaken love as an emotional roller coaster taken as unconditional whilst the
buzz is there.
Then the saviour;
Death on really facing these aspects above and questioning not with logic or
reason, but really facing one’s own mortality, this little bundle of pre packaged
sell by date box sets of DVD’s and CD,s and realise the past in them and none
of these programmes are real and reactions to play the tune again and when this
really clicks, gets home, there maybe an emptiness and even a desperate wish to
run, distract or bury one’s head in the sand and avoid the pain and realisation
one’s mortality and that I will die, this body will cease to be and nothing so
far has been secure, lasting or loving then the choice to welcome death not as
the end but to see this limited life this personal local shabby set of box
sets, these shallow beliefs, even those who work to go to the stars, for even
by the time or even wormhole stuff they get there be it centuries or instantly
the star, planet and world will be dying every day so there is nothing
everlasting there, death the black hole of Life is but seen as a harbinger,
travel through the despair, the pain, the horror that you and I are temporary and
security may arise from going through this all consuming death of the personal
self and perhaps come out to a white hole and so be an I somewhere else which the
limited local personal mind has not comprehended and because of its narrowness
has to expand and throw away all limits and let death invite us to an unlimited
non local non personalised mind. However, consider this as a programme and maybe
there is no such thing, only one’s serious questioning and meditations may
bring to one the realisation that emancipating is a mind thing and then what is
mind?

Death does not exist it is merely another programme(Shack)
