CARINA: “Well, I am very glad you called. But I should go back to work now.”

MAYA:

*voice breaking*

“I’m the truck.”

CARINA: “I’m sorry. I’m not very good at American idioms.”

MAYA: “I’m the truck. I’m, I’m, I’m… I’m the truck that drunkenly plowed into Station 19 and destroyed an entire family.”

CARINA: “Hey. Hey.”

MAYA:

*crying*

“I’m the truck.”

You took on a responsibility that you were not ready for and didn’t know that you were not ready for. You cared enough about your family that you tried to do what you could for them while under pressure. You simply didn’t have the experience or the knowledge to know how to do it. You’re only guilty of ignoring the fact that you were struggling and you couldn’t reach out and communicate that to anyone in your team for fear of them telling you you’re a failure. It’s something your dad instilled into you from a very young age that you just couldn’t see or think any other way. As you said, you’re wired to be relentless. You’re conditioned in a way that you didn’t anticipate or predict you would be because you thought it was the right or best way to be. That it was the way to make or be a winner. That method may have worked for you. It may still work for you. But that wouldn’t work with everyone.

You’re not the truck. You’re just part of the collision. Your dad is the truck because he never cared for you in the way you clearly care for your team. I don’t agree, because you’re just a victim of circumstance. You just didn’t know it. Psychological abuse is difficult to see when you’re in it because you’re trained not to see it.

I’ll admit that I had no sympathy for you to begin with but that was before I realized how deep this goes. See, I’ve also made a bad judgement call out of lack of awareness. I’ve admitted to it. That’s what you need to do now. Admit to where you’ve gone wrong now that you’re aware that you have. Your team will understand.

Man what a mess. And you know, Carina might not understand anything that’s going on but least Maya’s not alone. She can be comforted by an outsider. Sometimes that’s the thing that’s needed most. To be comforted by somebody that’s away from all the drama but cares enough to listen to all the drama.

An outside POV. I always find that’s helpful anyway.

@priea01 You were right. I was jumping to conclusions with Maya a bit when I said that she’s treating her team as Captain the way her dad treated her as her coach and that she deserves no sympathy for it. But I obviously didn’t understand the circumstances for being as deep as they are. It’s psychological abuse that she’s only starting to acknowledge and unpack now that she’s in a position where she’s in power. She didn’t recognize her treatment of her as a bad thing because her brain is hardwired to think that it’s good.

She’s just another victim of the system of emotional abuse which cycles itself around and around again.

It’s only now with the self-revelation of her saying that she’s the truck that she’s realized something is wrong.

On my path towards self mastery almost all of the pivotal, disruptive, and hard moments were to be faced on my own. Which does not mean that I ever was without loving connections ready and capable of holding space or being with me. No, it was an internal knowing that made it clear to me that to meet this moment in the way befitting it necessitated me to stand alone. 

Standing alone in the face of a challenge or adversarial energy necessitates me to let go of the conditioned ideas of weakness, not-enoughness, and the fear at their core. It either calls on me to trust my knowing or past experiences more than the quivering voices or the embedded sensations in this body. 

These are moments I have to live from vision, or spirit, to help the physical and emotional transcend the artifice of limitation they have been bound to. 

Every moment of courage, of feeling fears and resistances and 'doing it anyway', are moments that help unlearn more fundamental distortions held in the mind-body system that consistently belie reality in favor of cultural narratives and fears. This is why I speak of liberation. We need liberation from these ties that would bind us to endless repetitions of human history and suffering.

When I use the term 'self mastery' I envision a learning and knowing of the small egoic and identified self as well as a gentle but firm re-education at the hands of the Self that is beyond duality, time, and space. All beings experience varying levels of self mastery depending on their experiences and the trajectory of their Soul path. Not all of us are willing to keep moving towards suffering, face the truths behind our wounds, and embrace a greater reality and consciousness beyond the limited niche of human making.

This path will inevitably ask us to not only endure but also precipitate willingly losses upon losses of  people, places, beliefs, memories, behaviors, habits, though-patterns. It necessitates us to make the ultimate sacrifice, to the ego, by letting go of our identification with our personality, personal stories, body, and other ideas about self. Which goes way further than a mere ego-death, which denotes a letting go of selfishness or self-centered perception. 

Releasing all identifications comes with the understanding of the illusions this world we perceive, and lives we live, are woven from and of touching on the true nature of our being. 

Beingness that is found at the core of our experience and perceptions is genderless, formless, unlimited in its expressions, and not bound by time and space. It is not caught up in the dramas of maya with their relentless repetition of pain, suffering, harm, or seeking of pleasure to escape them. 

Beingness is observant yet not judging. For what is there to be judged when all is of the One? It reposes in a loving equanimity as the play of consciousness in duality, form, and forgetting unfolds within it.

The lives and identities we believe to have crafted, the attributes we claim or reject, they all are mere shadows dancing within the grand movements of consciousness. 

Consciousness keeps creating and destroying along its path of evolutions and self exploration as Beingness witnesses it all.

From time to time I need to remind my human to release her grip on identifications in order to dance with more ease and grace along the play of consciousness. It is like reminding the actor to follow the lead of the director and not get lost in self importance and thereby miss out on being part of a great play. 

To have the knowing and tools to move between human perception and Beingness, to learn to use the

greater picture view of Beingness in service of a more harmonious resonance with the frequencies playing out all around is a hard earned gift of this path. A gift only few will appreciate or understand as to many others any actions or non-actions arising from this knowing look weird or crazy.

Yet looking at life from a vantage point that suffuses human perceptions with greater perspectives of consciousness and Beingness allows for a perception of life which reveals a 'hidden' humor and playfulness in the unfolding of existence. Allowing me to look at what seems hard or impossible, from a strictly human perspective, as a fun challenge to be tinkered with and mastered. 

There is unspeakable power and freedom in understanding that nothing can be lost nor gained, not in death nor in incredible wealth or success. 

This knowing liberates me to explore possibilities in more subtle and novel ways, to choose play in 'serious' moments and thereby align and dance with the slip-stream of consciousness that is manifesting what we call life experience. 

This is what this cluster of consciousness is here for: to play, explore, create, deconstruct, rebuild, dance, and most of all BE with all of existence. I am not here to play it small and along old scripts, I have come to question and rewrite what is mine to change, I have come to render all scripts obsolete as I walk a new path in the void, leaving stardust in my steps for others to be inspired or intrigued by.

In every moment I repose in BEing and open to what is witnessed I am speechless at the infinite ways life is being lived in what only seems to be a consensus reality. How thin the veneer of consensus is, how magnificently diverse and wondrous the perceptions and storylines chosen are. How little it would take to release suffering and live a freer and more magical life. And how vehemently identities, identifications, and fears are fighting any attempt at liberation. 

How beloved the jailors are to the prisoners while the liberators seem silly, dangerous, or any other form of objectionable. 

To see with clarity the game at play tempts the human in me to intervene whenever there are threads of attachment in need of releasing. To see it also awakens a desire to share the wonderment and contemplation of it all with others. To express the mix of awe and compassion that arise in observing humans navigate life in their individually chosen way. Being in wonderment of the multidimensional shimmer of existence.

And it challenges the human to release the desire to change what is witnessed, to accept reality as it is, to honor the choices of others even and especially when they are self-destructive and persistent, to trust the higher wisdom at play in the long game of consciousness evolution. It takes constant reminders of the fact that we are engaging with Maya and her illusions, while absolute reality knows no loss, harm, or pain as all is One and in fluid harmony. Reminders to step back, check herself, and to free herself from identification with dualistic perceptions and to be mindful of the 'costs' of such entrapment.

But most deliciously Beingness gives the body-mind extended experiences of peace, equanimity, and bliss which gently wash away attachments to distorted perceptions and fears. Which in turn makes the challenging and hard things far easier and deepens trust in Self, the dimensional gateway to Beingness and Oneness.

“It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.”

The Universe as a Self-Created Symphony

Embracing the Totality of Our ExistenceIn the grand expanse of our universe, a profound realization dawns upon the seeker of truth: every occurrence, every speck of reality, is a direct emanation of our being. This is not a simplistic attribution of responsibility but a deeper, more intricate understanding of the interconnected nature of existence.Within this vast cosmos, every whisper of the…

Portal to your own Universe...The Mastana

On the path of consciousness evolution, what could be roughly called the initiatory path of becoming a shaman, a separation happens. The universe is understood under the same dynamics, but now the inner power of the apprentice is fully acknowledged, and his/her capacity is elevated to the status of being able to create his/her own portal into a personal universe. The symbolic tool used for this…

Roy, lamenting about his greying hair and wrinkles: How could the literal human sunshine I call a husband love me now that I'm not pretty anymore!?

Ed, whenever the light hits Roy just right and brings out the silver in his hair, remembering he can't just jump his husband in public:

By living a life based on wisdom and truth, one can discover the divinity of the soul, its union to the universe, the supreme peace and contentment which comes from satisfying the inner drive for self discovery.

Ancient Egyptian Proverbs

[noosphe-re]

Thus from the grains of thought forming the veritable and indestructable atoms of its stuff, the universe—a well-defined universe in the outcome—goes on building itself above our heads in the inverse direction of matter which vanishes. The universe is a collector and conservator, not of mechanical energy, as we supposed, but of persons. All round us, one by one, like a continual exhalation, 'souls' break away, carrying upwards their incommunicable load of consciousness. One by one, yet not in isolation. Since, for each of them, by the very nature of Omega, there can only be one possible point of definitive emersion—that point at which, under the synthesising action of personalising union, the noosphere (furling its elements upon themselves as it too furls upon itself) will reach collectively its point of convergence—at the ‘end of the world'.

I’ve been realizing a lot lately.

[lazyyogi]

There are things about ourselves that we need to get rid of; there are things we need to change. But at the same time, we do not need to be too desperate, too ruthless, too combative. Along the way to usefulness and happiness, many of those things will change themselves, and the others can be worked on as we go. The first thing we need to do is recognize and trust our own Inner Nature, and not lose sight of it. Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

Envy.

_overcoming the common obstacles to human evolution (project of texts, insights & reflections)

Envy and comparison are feelings generated by excessive focus on the external (appearances, what seems to be, what is shown) and little on the internal (you, what you have, what you want, what you feel you need, and what to do about it).

Comparison and envy are the result of disconnection from yourself.

Avoid comparing yourself, projecting yourself, and if you notice yourself in this process,

try to shift the focus inward, asking yourself:

"Do I need to live like this?" "What does this add to me?" "What do I do with my personal power, which exists to some extent, when I ignore what I possess to desire what others have?

The Journey to Perfection

Unraveling the Essence of ManifestationIn the realm of existence, there lies an intriguing paradox at the heart of our understanding: the notion that the Source, the origin from which all things emanate, is already in a state of inherent perfection. Yet, paradoxically, the manifestations that spring forth from this Source are engaged in a relentless pursuit of perfection. This presents a profound…
