What is seeking -and- the Nature of 'perspective'

Posted on Oct 21st, 2008 by Skeye : Absolutely Nothing Skeye
A great shift is calling to be true, to honor the truth that has been, and is ever, revealing itself 'within' all. Not to settle for surface experience and the mind's definitions of 'what is', of 'who/what I am/they are', but to listen ever deeper to the undercurrent of life....inner source...spirit song...true knowledge.

We are continually hearing about how harmful, unhealthy, decisions(that appear to not have all's best interest at heart) are being made without due process and yet continually cry out to the system that is perpetuating these dis-ease-full actions to do something about this. So sometimes it appears that one hand slaps the other and 'wrongs are righted', but these are nothing more than slight of hand tricks, temporary 'fixes' that distract from the deeper realization of the root causes of these actions.

As long as the system of dis-ease that is in place is being supported, then no matter what attempts there are at mental/physical health and well being, it will be threatened and attempted to be suppressed by that system.

Whether this be the societal system or the individual system of 'me'.

So "what to do"? I don't know, other than to relate how the revealing of the source of mind made clear the workings of the mind of 'the world'. Once there is clarity on the essential nature of self  that is aware of all states of mind, this essential nature(or 'truth') is seen throughout all existence, and there is revealed to be no one to go back to(or ever was in), ignorance and illusion. There may appear to be a residual momentum of misidentified actions of consciousness, but the truth within dissolves the energetic beliefs of mind and facilitates the dissipation of misidentified actions.

And truly, it's all grace...not up to 'me'.

Nine years ago there was a pointing and revelation to and from within me, that has been revealed to be timelessly unfolding throughout all life. The paradoxical nature of this revelation makes it impossible to convey through words or perhaps even actions, but it has proven to be all that matters(essential) and to what this life force is in service to. May these sharings, communings, offer what they can to this pointing and be of service to the revelation of 'you'.

What do "I" seek?

The truth of myself.

Where is this to be found?

The revelation is no(w)here...and paradoxically everywhere...but this is not to be taken as belief(conceptually lived), for it does not reveal the truth that shines and conveys through direct living of divine energy through realization attunement of the body/mind to the source.

Does this search ever end?

Yes, when the perceptions of 'seeker' stops. Which actually happens when there is awareness of deep resting or of 'silence within'.

Does the 'seeker' need to end?

That is unknown, and is only ever up to how consciousness is unfolding through 'you'. The source of happiness(the truth of "I") that is sought by the 'seeker identity', is not 'seeking or finding', is ever present, awake and available to the possibility, potential, of awakening. If there is an awareness of desire to be at peace, then the 'seeker' will surrender to the truth that is revealed of itself in the tracing of thought(mind perceptions) to it's source that is revealed to be the essential nature of all.

To realize the source of all perspective(mine, yours, theirs), that which is before all 'seeing', unites all. Not through dogmatic belief or out of fear and insecurities, but through simple reality, truth, compassion in the ever-realizing that all is 'self'.

The paradoxical mind, through a sense of compassion and fear of suffering, seeks to 'save the world': To continue to try to 'change and right the world' through the very means of mis-identified nature(as an 'ego' based entity), that has created and perpetuated the circumstances that are being sought to change, is futile. It will, and has, only perpetuated the 'war and suffering' of mind that is reflected throughout the world.

To affect any real change it is realized one is to stay focused on 'self', to look within the nature of 'me', to the source 'inside'.

Does this mean to find and define every mental/emotional/physical aspect of the individual and bring them to light, to 'fix' them, to understand them? To work at aligning all these aspects of self together separately by creating 'health' for them all individually?

No, for this is what is being attempted in 'the world outside': to perfect the imperfect. 'Fixating' on the mis-identification with the forms of life(duality, separateness) as primary reality, there is the focus on making 'me and the world' better and/or the attempts to control it/them/myself. Not that this is inherently 'wrong/bad', just recognized as a function of unfolding consciousness in the search for happiness and well being that is in ignorance of the truth of itself that is, and has ever been, the formless whole(non-duality, unity).

This does not mean that actions of compassion and support for well being and health of the body/mind are resisted or refused, only that whether or not they are enacted it is not from a limited 'self-interest' and internal sense of fear or suffering.

In the focus of attention to divining the source of life/self that is primary reality(that is wholeness and ultimate well being), surrendering the focus on the conceptual 'me'(not defining the forms of life that is secondary, at least from the perspective of a 'me'), there is the alignment with the eternal inherent wisdom of all that precedes, and actually informs, all intellectual knowledge, all action....that is the source of all health, happiness and unity.

By realizing, primarily focusing on, the formless perfection that already exists before, within and after all appearances of form....all is well....and the forms of life reflect this. Not necessarily on the surface appearance, but the sensing 'within/beneath' all appearances. There is compassion for 'self' that is believing form to be reality.

By continuing to primarily focus on the 'righting of what is wrong' in form, when essentially there is nothing wrong, there is a feeding and perpetuating the creation of unwellness that ignores the true wellness of spirit.

Is the divining, realizing, of the truth of 'me' to be for the purpose of healing others, myself, or for bettering the world?

Essentially, no. For this would be the 'me' owning the revelation of reality(that all, in it's essential nature, is 'okay' and 'no-thing-at all), that supposedly, "I am in control and doing this for 'them' ".

That the individuated sense of self is supposedly primary reality and all it's perceptions are as well, when primarily it is the impersonal indivisible nature of reality that is ever unfolding, that is whole, complete and peace itself. The definitions of separateness arise after, within, the indivisible wholeness of 'self'. The perceptions and actions of 'war' arise out of the misconceptions of duality and suffering.

So the egoic sense of 'me being humble or a better person for all of them' is out the window, non-existent....it is only ever for the truth of self.

Yet, it is realized that this revelation is quite naturally the well being of 'all'. It's just not in 'my hands' to 'how this comes about for all', only ever to pay attention to this unfolding here....that is the same undifferentiated conscious truth unfolding in all.

All is well...regardless of appearances...all is in the heart, at the source, in essence wellness/wholeness. And it is ever to point to this reality that truly serves.

'Get out of your own way'...'By the grace of God go I'....'Thy will, not mine, Lord.'

These are all just pointers to the reality of 'divinity' that is ever present like the sun, day or night, blue sky or clouds, mis-identification or none. Yet once it is realized what mis-identification brings about, and the well being the truth facilitates, then nothing is the same and the attention to this truth is self-supporting.

This is the paradoxical commitment to 'self in all': the revelation/surrender of 'me' inspires the honoring of truth in 'all', that is impersonal, whole(holy) and in no need of 'fixing'. This supports the realization of the truth and affects a peace-filled shift in the 'me' that desires 'to fix or be fixed'....supporting the surrender of 'me' to realize wholeness of self that is and has ever been.

What comes of this for 'us'(the forms of life) and how it plays out in the world is unknown. Whether in continued ebb and flows of 'chaos and order', extinguishing altogether, or realizing an unthought existence....but at least there is the invitation to peace available and unfolding throughout 'an-other' aspect of consciousness.

For is this not what is truly sought, regardless of what is believed or perceived?: Peace.

Namaste....
