A story is never true.
A story is made up. Its fabricated.
Two persons will not tell the same story about the same event. Never.
So there is no truth in a story.
Is there something that is true? In the world?
Yes – the actuality of everything.
Things are what they are. But to see what things are, we must give up our own projections.
Otherwise we ONLY see our own projections.
So – consequently – we only see our self – painted on the faces and personas in our surroundings.
They ARE not our opinion of them. They are what they are.
If you dont like them and blame them – that means that you dont like them and blame them. Thats exactly what it means and only that.
To see this is good, its a blessing, because then we have the opportunity to change.
And the only thing we can change in this universe (given this blessedopportunity) IS OUR SELVES.
We can NOT change other people. We can definately not change other peoples thoughts about us.
There is only one way out of that kind of misery.
To accept the fact that we can not change what other people think about us, or the past, or wrongdoings by others.
Surrender to the actuality of things.
Its the only way out.
We can only change our selves, so even if the other person have done something terrible to us, thats the choise we have. To stand up for our own part in it, without any “but” or even a vague tendency towards argument.
Sometimes its good to tell about this taking of responsibility. Sometimes not.
But fear is not a good reason to keep quiet. Go to the place you fear the most.
Let people see them selves for a change.
Dont react.
And the will meet them selves for the first time.
Some wont like it.
They are the blessed ones.

Du är vad du är – You are just what you are

Du är det du är.
Du är inte din eller andras berättelse om dig.
Du är inte vad du tror. Du är inte tro. Du är inte tro på personlig framgång eller nederlag.
Du är inte misslyckad. Du är inte en succé.
Du är.
Vi kan aldrig veta vad detta är, detta vad vi är.
Vetande tillhör drömmen.
Se denna din oförmåga till vetande.
Allt vi tror oss veta är egentligen något vi tror.
När vi verkligen vet något, blir ordet “veta” överflödigt.
Vi vet då att vi vet, och utan tvivel finns ej ens en diskussion kring detta vetande.
Vi kan bara se. Bara falla fritt i flödet som är Allt, som är det som ÄR.
Vad är vi i allt detta?
Och hur lyckades vi ställa oss utanför allt som är vad det är?
Är Gud min beskrivning utav Gud? Och hur lyckades jag göra Gud så otroligt liten, och relativ till mina och andras tolkningar utav min beskrivning?
Du är allt.
Du är ej separerad från någonting.
Allt du gör förändrar världen för all framtid.
Detta nu sitter ihop med evigheten åt alla håll.
Tiden är inte linjär. Tiden är inte ett streck genom stjärnhimlen, och ett ögonblick har ingen tjocklek. Ingen början. Inget slut.
Lev.
Se ditt levande.
Älska utan villkor eller exkluderande.
Hur kan vi säga vad eller vem som är värda vår kärlek.
Vad är då vår kärlek?
Gränslös? Evig? Oändlig?
Kärlek är allt som finns. Själva livskraften.
Resten är påhitt.
Allt annat förändras. Allt utom själva förändringen i sig självt.
Ur ingenting har allt du ser kommit.
Och tillbaka till ingenting ska vi åter.
Vi kan vinka till varandra här idag. Skratta åt det fantastiska att vi kan vinka. Att vi kan se oss själva genom andras ögon och se varandra (oss själva) genom “våra egna”.
Det finns bara en dans. Och den är överallt.
Det är allt som finns.
Och när du följer med i dansen upphör allt motstånd i universum ögonblickligen. Utan fördröjning.
Allt motstånd fallar in i mellanrummet du skapat mellan då och sedan.
Nästa ögonblick tillåts vara vad det är, och blir inte en fotostatkopia utav det förflutna. Inte en reaktion, men en förändring.
Något nytt föds ur din dans.
Och du har gjort vad ingen människa tidigare lyckats med.
Du har förändrat allt som är, genom att inte reagera.
Le, fira, dansa, se.
Älska, skratta, gråt, fall, flyt.
Förlåt, ske, var varat… eller… ära ärigheten.

My body took a walk…

I am just sitting here.

A few hours ago I took a walk. I was sitting on the shoulders of my body, watching it travel through universe. At the moment I (and my body) was crossing a bridge in central Stockholm close to the Central Station.

I saw how my body was walking and slowly moving through universe as it seamed. But in what direction, that was impossible to say. There are no directions, or, if we say there are, then there is all directions simultaneously.

The expansion of the universe, the orbid of the earth. The turning of the milky way, the earths motion around its own axis. And me crossing that bridge.

Who knows in what direction my so called body was moving.

And the motion of the neutrons and atoms inside the body itself. Atoms temporarily glued together by whatever force. I dont know much about physics. And that is ok.

I know I dont know and never will know.

I have always known this. But this knowing used to scare my when I was younger. Everyone else seamed to know who they were. The pretense was immaculate.

Now it doesnt scare me anymore. I sometimes long for someone to talk to. Someone who see the world as I do. But there is no one.

Its a lonely business, not existing 🙂

And not even feeling lonely, just seeing the potential lonelyness. But since there is no mind and no body, there is no mind meeting the body and therefore no emotions. And still sometimes there is vague feelings. But then there is not belief in those feelings, and therefore they don grew to all mighty proportions. Just waves, on the ocean.

The ocean that is not me. Just some sort of ocean of all there is…

Thank you for existing fellow bloggers. You offer some comfort.

I am just sitting here.

It appears as if I am.

I dont know anything.

When one have seen “what is”…

When one have seen “what is”… there is no doubt about it. Dont let anyone make you believe anything else. There are people out there who make have an agenda, hidden even from them self. They may have been through the process of enlightenment or whatever one may want to call it. Its just a word for the undescribable.

To see “what is”, means to see that you are allready “that”. But obviously you havent seen that properly before.

You allways were that. But you was in illusion of beeing someone. This illusion is not a problem for those who dont feel trapped by it. But this identification with mind actually creates suffering all around you. You are allready “that”. There is nothing to become.

When seeing this, one no longer is persistent in an argument. One does not have an opinion founded on words spoken or written. One does not believe in ones own words. So, consequenttly, there is no one to listen to or to trust.

You can only trust in your own experience once you have had it. And if you have had it, you no longer ask questions. If you ask questions after “seeing What is” you no longer ask questions in order to know.

“seeing what is” means the end of the need to know, or the end to have affirmation.

If you need affirmation, you are not free.

If you still have questions you are not free.

To the player, I want to say, Its a game, I know, but remember, you are just a card, and that by choise.

All the best. Avaloki/John doe/ seeingwhatis/joakim

You are perfect.

You may not know this.

But you are perfect already.

You don’t have to change.

You only have to stop becoming – to be happy for all time to come.

The hardest thing to believe. That you are ok.

You tell yourself every day, every minute, that you can do better, be better, be more beautiful, nicer, or loose some weight.

Be a better parent. A better lover. Better in bed.

You dont have to change.

See this.

And that will be the only change necessary.

After accepting yourself, you will accept most people around you. And they can be at their best. When you dont judge them like you judge yourself.

Tell them this:

“You are perfect.”

And watch their reaction.

They will resist, and insinuate that you are not perfect either.

Funny. 🙂

Insist. You are perfect, and so are they.

This is the truth.

I promise.

Something you dont know about your self.

You are perfect.

You dont have to change,

You can stop adapting now, and stop becoming.

You are already it. Everyone are, but few recognize this.

After realizing this, people may tell you you are not it. Still.

But that simply isn’t true.

The only thing that wasn’t you, was the thing you had to become, but never succeeded to become.

The dream.

Wasn’t perfect.

Wasn’t you.

Welcome home. You are home now.

Where you can rest in your self.

 

Answer for Ajay, part 2

Ajay:

Many Thanks for the encouragement ! I shall try the pointers that you have indicated.
As for ‘longer posts’ it is a tendency to write longer posts, till I am satisfied that the message that had to be conveyed has been ‘appropriately posted. So thanks for the patience as well. 🙂
As for “what is seen without an idea of what it is” – I guess nothing ! for the moment the ‘thing’ is seen, it is recognised instantly (prior knowledge). Perhaps education has somewhat destroyed the ability to ‘ponder and wonder’ – we know the ‘labels’ associated with just about everything and that is perhaps ‘what you are hinting/pointing at’ – to look at something without labels.
I can only pray that it happens ( to see without labels) here as well.
AND I do long to say “Hi to You” someday…sometime – as I quote you in one of your posts …..”want to talk to you. The true selves. Behind the selves. Not the projections, the illusions, the loop of thoughts and knowledge. The ones that doesnt know. Please say hi”

Me:

Hi Ajay.
If you ever come to sweden I would gladly talk to you about these matters.
But until then, you should focus inwards. This is not impossible. Its the easiest thing in the world.
Look at something. Anything. The road. The people running through a square, a tree. Anything.
Just look, and fully realize that “THIS IS IT”
This, what you see, is all there is.

Stop prayng or longing or whishing for this to happen. Just trust me (and actually yourself) trust your feeling that this can be seen. Because it can.
Now.
Not tomorrow or one minute ago. Always do this practice right NOW.
Just sit. (or walk)
And watch.
See, that this happens without you.
Now turn your head around, and watch behind you.
Reality was there too, wasnt it?
Even though you didnt look at it.
It does not depend on you.
It is – anyway
And always will be.
That – which is.
That is it. This what you see, is it.

Do this NOW and dont listen to ANY thought. Just look and think “This is it”
And turn your head around.
You will see it, I promise.

How to be free – an answer to Ajay

“Me”:

Tell Me why you want this. (to bee free, liberated, enlightened)

Ajay:

2 reasons if i am honest with myself :

1) I guess would be related to insecurity – mainly financial. Not that I am not secure at the moment, but would it remain forever ? That fear is there. And does enlightenment give this security ?. “NO” – from what I have understood so far. But if “liberation”/ Enlightenment gives you the Right prespective, removes the FEAR, then why cling to “one insecurity” or the “other” and thus get caught in this circle of insecurities ( DEATH being another!) – why not live FREELY and be happy in whatever circumstances.
This reason I have mentioned, because I don’t know if I were to be gauranteed a financial security would I still be after “liberation”. I don’t know. But I do know that I am fairly secure at the moment (house,parents,kids,money etc) everything is going fine, and yet there is a feeling of something missing….

2) that all the non-duality stuff I have been reading ( for about a decade now),for example the one written by you(or an apparant you), it seems so TRUE to me – and that too without any logic. It just seems to be right. But then doesn’t matter how much you read or how much you meditate, ultimately “ones own TRUTH” is alone that would “liberate one” and that can only come when THAT TRUTH dawns on the so called individual.
Intellactually i seem to know the answers for most of the questions but again as mentioned it doesn’t help and it is better to ‘Shut up’ than to preach somebody your theory(which only seems TRUE to you without the Actual Experience to back it up).
So What do I have to validate the things people (like you) have been trying hard to drill home the point. Will it always remain a theory to people (like me), it is not possible for THAT GRACE to fall upon me as well …..

 

 

“Me”:

 

An additional question. How desperate are you?
Do yo want to add confidece to your self, or do you want to loose your pain at any cost? To the cost of loosing your self? Please answer this here and now.

Ajay:

I TRUELY want IT …whatever we mean by “IT” and don’t mind at all if the DROP is to loose its identity and be ONE with the OCEAN.
How Desperate ? I don’t know, I have my fears no doubt. But at the same time this ‘i’ is prepared to be ‘zero’. As i mentioned, being fairly secure ‘materially’ I might not be as Desperate as you were (unfortunately), but then I am prepared to just finish off ‘this’ identity. Atleast this is what intellectual understanding has given me.

As for confidence, I am fairly confident and ( if this may not sound egoistic), it seems I do happen to radiate Laughter,confidence and joy in whichever company placed. But deep down I want to know ‘This Mystery’ be a part of it – knowingly.

If I want to loose my pain at any cost ? well,honestly, the regular pain/fears associated with ‘Samsara’, I take it in my stride and change my outlook towards them. Not that they don’t hurt, but by changing my attitude towards these the pain is felt less or for less period.So just wanted to highlight that I am not in “that pain” at the moment, BUT I DON’T WANT to be IN PAIN in order to TURN TOWARDS HER/Intelligence/Energy/GOD whatever. I WANT HER before ‘THE PAIN” pushes me to SEEK HER.
I MISS HER AND FEEL INCOMPLETE !!

To the cost of Loosing myself – Absolutely yes !

“Me”:

So, no great fears or traumas then? In what Way Do you grek incomplete. And why ( do you think) haven’t you been able to drop yourself allready. What is the reoccurring hindrence?

Ajay:

Fears – yes, many of them. The chief among them financial long term security and that too for children- I myself don’t have many wants or desires. I fear that what would happen to them if I would loose job. Fear, that my parents should possess Good health till there last breath – they should not be dependent physically in this old age. Fear of loosing them.
I have no idea what is the hindrence, despite I not being too ambitious, don’t consider myself to be creative, being very satisfied with whatever nature has provided me so far and am very very grateful to HER , because I as a personality am not worth for what has been provided. I remain Grateful.
But I also want this veil of ignorance to go, just want to be One with THAT – whatever it means !
(yesterday, I read one of your posts, and I could feel the intense pain in the heart – as if it had taken away my heart. I did comment on that, but don’t remember which one it was)

“Me”:

Ok.

Here is what you tell your self through me:

Ajay… 🙂 You want this for the right reasons. It is a joy to read your wordings. There is a foundation in you that is very trustworthy.

I will begin by telling you (me) that many people interpret my written reactions as hard or unkind. I am not polite. I am not humble. I tell the truth as good as I can through words, and sometimes it hurts. Those who lies, who is not or honest or does not know but pretend, them we feel gratitude towards. I dont exist as anything else than a mirror, and have no interests at all as I know of. So I am not interested in gratitude. If you met the body whom in which this mirror resides, then you would be calm, then you would see noone with an agenda and no one wanting anything. I am quite handsome as well LOL.

So, if you feel threatened by my words, listen to that voice, and inquire what it means. Maybe it is correct. I say this to tell you now, once and for all that the responsibility is yours.

This is important.

We search for answers, for peace of mind, and think we will find it outside. That someone is going to give it to us.

You have to look inside. The intuition is a helpful tool to make decisions without using your mind. So… trust your gut. Dont put your gut feeling on a test over and over. Doing that may give you lots of experiences, just in order to let you see clearly that your gut feeling knows better than “You”.

Intuition is part of “what is”.

So…

I went for a trip today and driving across Sweden for eight hours, from east to west. Doing that I saw this:

You say you want to be complete…

That you say.

I have to tell you, you are already complete.

So, why cant yo see this?

Well, its not strange at all.

Getting enlightened is the easiest thing in the world. It is not a mystery. It is reality. Totally possible for everyone.

The place and the time to get enlightened is always here and now. So now, or now, or now… But never tomorrow.

“He who search will find” jesus said. Well If you dont find it immediately, after start searching, is because of doubt and love and fear.

You believe that it is possible to be free, but belief requires some doubt (does it not!?)

So there is doubt/belief.

This doubt/belief wants you to get enlightened tomorrow. But there is no tomorrow. Tomorrow is just a concept, an idea. Also tomorrow is always an image, and a replica of the past.

By putting our attention on a limited part of the past, we create an image in the Present, which shapes our image of tomorrow. So in the now, we create history and future. This future is always related to the past. So if you were anxious for money or not enlightend in the past – you will be it tomorrow as well.

Also, this future (which is just an image) works as an insurance. You dont have to deal with it today. The same way as trust in help works. If you need anyone for you to feel good, then you make your self vulnerable. But you are not vulnerable. Nothing can actually hurt you if you dont let it. You are hurting your self. But ego… ego can not live without fear…. so ego wants you to be afraid. If you feel safe, ego will try to make you scared.

This sounds like a fairy tail, I know, but you will soon see this for your self. The ego is an entity. It is like artificial intelligence, and it has taken your true self hostage. (wow, I know it sounds… too extreme, but that is the case)

Do this for me: ask your self this question (that will follow) and then just shut your eyes for ten seconds without reading further.

“What is the meaning of life?”

(dont read further)

When doing this, you probably dont get an answer immediately. The gap, until your mind starts making noice… this is your true consciousness. Not knowing… And it feels good 🙂

All problems and fears comes out of a false assumption. Made up by the mind.

So… the mind believes in itself and wants to find an answer to the false assumptions. These answers never lasts. They need correction. Over and over.

The truth is that the problems were never there. So, all solutions to the problems just reinforce the belief in the problems – until you loose track of the first question. That is how we start believing we exist, at an early age (my son…. I saw when it happened… he was six months)

You tell me about your fears… they are based upon illusions.

Thsi may sound hard, and I dont want you to accept it. You should inquire by yourself, but this is how it is:

You are afraid of financial problems. That will affect your children and parents in a negative way you say.

But, those who have ears better listen, as jesus said 🙂 … but… You dont know that.

You dont know it will affect your children or parents in a negative way. We know nothing about what will come.

Are you sure about this conclusions of yours? If not… then they are just mental images made up by your mind (that is not really you).

If I have a mortal decease, which I do, can you be sure I will die before you? No… You may get run over by a car tomorrow. So, why should you pity me? Only if you have a mental image of yourself living on for ever, or until the median age of 80, then you will pity me.

This is insane and have nothing to do with “what is”.

Our children is not ours. They will not love us for ever. Not in the same way. Or may not. And that is also ok. They dont have to. Everything passes. That is for certain. That is all we ever know. Nothing lasts.

So… when we know that, we truly appreciate the moment. Every moment.

Death is not a few steps away. It is like rain on our skin, it is closer than that.

But since we are actually one with everything, that is nothing to fear. It is reality.

What is fear? Fear is based upon fear of LOSS.

Without fear of loss we will never be afraid.

I you were about to diem MAYBE you would fear loosing your body, the time you invested in your life in form of studies and hard work. It has to pay off, we may think.

But we are not the body. Cut of a finger and you will see. YOU are still there.

If I never get to see my son again, if I loose custody for ever. Is this a bad thing? Who knows? I may e the best thing for him. We assume things, but never know.

If I loose ny home and my job also?

Well. Lots of people live in poverty. They may be happier and more sane than me. It is not about wealth.

It is about being alive. About seeing “what is”.

And appreciating it.

Fear makes us project into the future (or the past) and we are never really hear.

“Dont be afraid” jesus said.

I couldnt agree moore.

🙂

So. Ajay.

Here is my advice for today to you.

Take a walk.

When you feel your feet meeting the ground… then fully realise that this ground is the actual universe. Feel it.

You are walking on the universe.

It may be the center. I may be in the periphery. There is no beginning and no end so that is not important,

Accept that you dont really know anything.

Accept that you cant change anything.

See that your agenda is just one of countless agendas. Not the absolute. The absolute begins with your sight, of what is.

This is all we can ever do.

We can know, in a way… know or see… know-see… that all we can know is this.

We can see – that which is. Wihout concept, judgement or words attached to it.

You are walking on it. And all you see is part of it.

Actually, everyone you see, is the universe, experiencing itself (you in this case) through the eyes of another living thing.

There is no end to the beauty of this.

Also ask yourself, who percieves the one inside you that sees this.

That – is God.

If you see this –  dont doubt it. It can only happen Now, and it is soo easy.

Then just do this: dont believe your next thought. Forever… As a life long meditation, or at least for one day, or one hour. 🙂 Dont – believe – your next – thought. Any thought. No thought, good or bad.

I am sorry if this got very long. And I am aware of the shortcomings of my language skills since my native thounge is Swedish.

I want to thank you for having the faith and courage to ask for my advice. But – and this is not a play with words – you are doing the talking, through me.

Write back and tell me in a week or so how you are doing.

Love you.

I will list some of the most common misunderstandings about the nature of things, and if you want me to I can explain why it is so. Here are a few assumptions I frequently encounter – assumptions that Is NOT true, often the reality is quite the opposite, but how that can be the case needs to be explained to most people: The faulty assumptions are listed below;

  1. Love is the goal (to strive for, to find)
  2. There must be a purpose with enlightenment/liberation
  3. There must be a way to use liberation and the insights from it, to do good.
  4. Not to use these insights is egoistic.
  5. Bliss is the natural state after enlightenment.
  6. Enlightened people are humble. Humbleness is a virtue in all situations.
  7. A critical attitude towards the sayings of others is a sign of ego.
  8. A good thing is to create a loving community, in which we let love and humbleness flourish. This can not be bad.
  9. You have to pay attention to your ego, even after enlightenment.
  10. Creativity is good.
  11. After enlightenment we can reach and fulfill our dreams.
  12. We all have dreams.
  13. We all have needs.
  14. We all have fears.
  15. After enlightenment you still feel fear, anger, sorrow, melancholia, restlessness, loneliness etc.
  16. Moral will increase after enlightenment.
  17. Enlightenment is the goal.
  18. Enlightenment is the beginning of a journey.
  19. Enlightenment will make you happy.
  20. You will be reborn with the possibility to remember this life.
  21. Death is something to fear.
  22. Death is just a few steps away.
  23. It is impossible to love everyone equally.
  24. You have friends that you love more then others even after enlightenment.
  25. You have memory after enlightenment.
  26. You have lust after enlightenment.
  27. You have a will after enlightenment.
  28. You say things after enlightenment.
  29. You have an opinion after enlightenment.
  30. You can change things after enlightenment.
  31. It is an illusion, that there are illusions, it is important to see that the illusions are also true.
  32. You have to meditate to be liberated.
  33. You have to meditate.
