It touches on free will, purpose and meaning, and all kinds of deeply philosophical issues. Yet it is a very simple, everyday question any conscious being asks continually within this reactive matrix we call human consciousness. All of which is inside this evolving and often seemingly devolving experience we call life.
Who’s to say what “direction” things should go?
Such questions are a pervading angst on so many levels.
Is there a reason, a meaning, a purpose to anything, immediate or even deeply remote to what we call life?
Never mind for the day to day madness that’s unfolding before our eyes?
It really is a time of opportunity.
Stay with me here. This is tough stuff to try to articulate.
Whatever we think we are is always there looking for meaning. Reason and purpose are right on its heels, along with the big underlying question of “why?”
The way bigger question is, who is it that’s asking?
That’s the whopper if we’re willing to go there. If we don’t get that one, all bets are off and we’re trying to perceive things in a primordial soup of mental relativity. We assume self is one thing, the programmed sense of a continual self and reinforced identity, by ourselves as well as our environment.
But is that an illusory perception?
From “just because it is” to the religious default of “it’s God’s plan”, many foundational understandings are much closer to the truth than we realize. They default to “isness”, which escapes the rational mind. Lao Tzu had many mind-stopping things to say about this. Heck, even the Bible says that the supposed God said when asked about his name, “I am that I am.” Clearly derived from earlier teachings.
Profound realities have their way of surfacing. This mind blowing point is found throughout all great teachings.
Things just are. The implied powerlessness of such a simple realization is overwhelming to the ego driven self.
I say good. Deal with it. Head on. That fake self stuff is what’s making such a mess here.
But that’s all part of it too. Nothing is outside of the all pervading “what is”. A tremendous relief to realize. In fact, in that understanding there is no “awake” or “unawake”, despite the polarity of the informational field and the endless treadmill of so-called spirituality. We are where we are.
