Here are a few simple questions to ponder and enjoy…
Why do I exist and where do I come from? What part of me is asking the question?
Do I have a true individuality or am I just a set of environments and patterns that come together for a short time?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed and therefore must have always existed, so why do we keep looking for a beginning?
Is the personal soul just a religious concept?
Having no shape, no edge and no colour, how could a self created absolute state of awareness be aware of anything other than itself?
How does free will exist, when everything in creation is eventually broken down and changed – and we are all subject to these changes regardless of wherever and however we live our life?
.
Why is it said that “we are all god but we just do not know it,” or “everthing is inside us already when we search for god or enlightenment”, yet nobody gets to enlightenment.
The answers to the following question is simple and profound and something people never seem to consider.
On the planet today, there are billions not just millions of people, so why do these people not attain to enlightenment if the above statements are actually true.
There is no “PERMANENT CENTRE” to any human being, the human being is just a continuous collection of experiences, and unless they go to an “ENLIGHTENED BEING” who can also give “enlightenment” to others they will never attain to the actual state of enlightenment, as this state is something they are allowed to “DISCOVER” through Grace.
Grace is an energy system that is there before intelligence begins in the universe, and is not an energy that is fatalistic, nor is it known within conciousness, and when someone does attain to enlightenment, they discover for themselves that the individual they thought they were, never actually existed, as the only state which is permanent is the state of “enlightenment” itself, this is why in their billions, human beings just wander around fulfilling fatalistic destinies yet die ignorant of why they existed and how they came to exist, always being “done to”, and “done by”, but never the actual “doer” in any proper sense, their futures hidden from them, and having the “unknowns” of their life as the reason for why they exist.
Ask yourself the question, ” if I am already god realised but I do not know it”, how am I hiding my larger absolute self, from my smaller self, while at the same time, it is my absolute self which is allowing my smaller self to exist?, and of course the answer is, that of course I am not enlightened, this idea is just a romantic idea created within the mind and never challenged by proper meditation or access to Grace.
This myth remains out there among dozens of other “spiritual myths”.
:- GOD HAS A PLAN, yet God is self created and perfect, by being self created it has no plan. A plan is for a future not yet revealed and not yet manifest. God has no future it is everywhere and every thing and every action, or “WE ARE ALL GETTING TO GOD ONE DAY”, or “WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES AND WE ARE LEARNING LESSONS IN EVERY ONE”, there is no such thing as a SOUL, only a SENSE OF INDIVIDUALITY, created by virtue of the fact that in a universe of perpetual motion, a universe continually virginal, there is never any repetition of anything in the same exact way, and this creates the “SENSE OF INDIVIDUALITY” people feel is their self, also God is absolute and undifferentiated, it has no bits and therefore has no souls.
Why, when an individual can find value and meaning in life, would they not want to see and be the cause of that value?, ie enlightenment, why would billions wander around it in complete ignorance of the absolute when seemingly they are already that state but are somehow never pushing away the limits of the small self to allow the absolute to be there?.
Again, it is because they cannot give themselves enlightenment, that they live within the limits and boundaries of conciousness, with its perpetual set of opposites, ie love-hate, pain-pleasure, growth-decay, happiness-sadness and birth and death.
Can science discover the cause of the universe.
No, science is as fatalistic as all other practises, and scientists, fulfil a fatalistic destiny just like any other human being.
To discover the cause of the universe, we would have to go beyond the universe, to a place where limits do not exist, and unfortunately, conciousness cannot go there, as it is created by limits and has no idea how it came to exist, as its cause is beyond where limits can go, conciousness can never get enlightenment.
