An Unstoppable Force Meets An Immovable Object

Pfft, AI doesn’t know anything. Here’s the thing. An unstoppable force and an immovable object, does not exist in this world. The opposites, male/female, up/down, light/dark, are seen as a paradox because they are seen as being absolute. HOWEVER, because there is no such thing in the entire Universe that is an unstoppable force (except the absolute “paradox” of God, if you believe in God, but God is beyond definitions anyway), the opposites DO CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT!! The illusion of these opposites being opposites, dualistic and opposing, is just that. An illusion. WE create the opposites with our human MINDS. It ALL comes from the human mind. Reality is not dualistic, it is not even one, it is transcendent beyond all concepts you could ever come up with. If what you perceive as opposites (and notice the word perceive here) are all an unstoppable, real thing in this world, then these opposites would NOT cancel each other out. But, due to the dualistic mind being an illusion, THE OPPOSITES DO CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT. The mind creates the opposites, the mind is what creates the separation and the dualism in the first place, as creation inherently limits, it inherently separates and it inherently is dualistic in nature. The opposites were actually created from the mind to BE OPPOSING. Therefore, they CANNOT come into Unity, Oneness and Harmony when their very nature is to be opposing to each other, they were created to separate and be distinct from one another, by the human mind. But, we are NOT the mind. Dualism is an illusion, as if you try to put the opposites of light and dark together, they will never mix together, due to the opposites being defined as light and dark to begin with, the definitions and concepts of light and dark were meant to be distinct, separate and different to each other, opposing each other, and so what is perceived to be an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, just ends up cancelling each opposite out, because it was NEVER an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object to begin with, THAT was the illusion. The mind inherently creates dualism by its own creations that separate and creates the opposites to begin with. It is the human mind that does this, not Reality. Reality is in Harmony by Just What Is. Think of it this way. Someone has a spiritual experience, the other person has the opposite spiritual experience happen to them, Satan is a bad guy, Satan is a good guy, and both claim their experience is The Ultimate Truth. WHO do you believe? If you are to be equal and not biased, you would see that both cannot be The Ultimate Truth. Therefore, if you look at these experiences equally with no biases, prejudices or any sway towards a specific way, the experiences would always cancel each other out, Ultimate Truth would be neither, yet all experiences are valid in an all encompassing understanding of the non dual. What you perceive is not always what is Ultimate Truth. THIS IS TRUTH.

I Am & Manifestation

“Before Abraham was born, I am!” - Jesus

Manifestation and “I Am”, do not go together. “I Am”, is Self-Contained and nothing is needed to be placed onto that “I Am”. That is why it is just “I Am”. That is the point of it. “I Am”, is NOT a claim to power or authority or even is associated with a manifestation of your “best reality” you could ever dream or come up with from your own mind, or anything like that. Jesus was stating a fact of Realisation of who Jesus truly was and is, knowing deeply that He was Beyond all things, all forms, all… everything. It is a Transcendent statement.

So, what exactly does manifestation have to do with the “I Am”? I do not see a link, “I Am” even goes against manifestation, as the point of “I Am”, is to state no thing after it. It means Transcendence beyond things, no thing is needed or can be stated or said after it. To me, God does not manifest for Himself either. He is fully Self-Contained, Satiated in His own Completeness, in Bliss of Himself being Full, no Desires are longed for, as that is a limitation and a craving of not having something you need in your life. God is not craving or needing anything, for God has it All. God IS All, as well as Nothing, and also, Transcendence Beyond All and Nothing.

To me, God creates change and manifests things in the world, for US, it is all for us to change, evolve and grow. God does not need to manifest anything for Himself, and doesn’t. He is Beyond desires, cravings and longings for the things of the world, or even, for spiritual gifts and abilities, too. God is The Ultimate, why does God need to manifest anything, He is Full and Satiated in His own Completeness and Fullness. It is that state that people can access too, that state in Advaita Vedanta, is called “Ananda” (Bliss), and it is a part of Liberation (Moksha).

“I Am”, has nothing to do with manifestation, and in fact, thinking it is to do with manifestation, is missing the point of the claim of the words “I Am”. “I Am”, is negating any thing after it, only the words “I Am”, will do, and even that is a concept, but it points to something Transcendent, beyond the world, beyond things, beyond every thing. Placing anything else onto “I Am”, would therefore point to a thing, and as such, it would limit Jesus to being that specific thing. Jesus, to me, is everything and nothing, and transcendent Beyond everything and nothing, as well, that, to me, is why He stated “I Am”.

Jesus was pointing towards Transcendence of all things when He said “I Am”, which has NOTHING to do with desiring things, which, manifestation itself, even points to the fact that manifesting for yourself and your life (which is not a separate thing to you) is actually about being some THING, and therefore, is the complete opposite of the meaning of “I Am”, which just Rests in the “I Am”, instead of saying “I Am Wealthy”, “I am Whole”, “I am ________ (whatever you wish to say), and that is a limitation, which the understanding of “I Am”, actually negates. That is why “I Am” and manifestation are two completely different and separate, completely opposite things, imo.

Just my own personal thoughts and opinion.

I Am

I cannot be a Christian, or a Catholic, or a Pagan, or a Sufi, or anything, not because I deny, exclude or reject any of these things, but because I Embrace All things, I am All Encompassing, All Loving, and All Accepting. To choose a specific worldview and way, would limit me greatly, and I would actually feel emotional and mental pain inside me, culminating all into an actual physical pain inside me, from limiting my own Self so much. I literally cannot be only one particular way or have one particular view of Life, as I would harm myself if I did. I see Equality in All, Equality in Difference, as well as Equality in Sameness. I cannot be anyone but myself. If I limit myself to a specific religion or belief system, I cannot Be. I am not a Christian, I am not a Hindu, I am not a Pagan, I am not a Catholic, I am not even Eclectic. The best way to describe me, is just….. I Am. I do not mean to be egotistical with this. I just Understand. I Am.

I am not what you think, I am not what you perceive, I am not what even I may think sometimes, I Transcend, I am All Embracing, All Encompassing of All things. But because I Embrace All, I Transcend All too. When you Embrace All, you don’t limit yourself to one or a few things, and you don’t see yourself as anything, you see Equally. You become All, but becoming All, means that you have to actually see Equality in All, Love All, Encompass All. In Encompassing All, you are not biased or prejudiced, so you are not limited in your thinking that one way is better than the other, and in doing so, limit yourself to that one way and think you are that. In limiting yourself, you limit what you are, can be, can see, and can perceive. THINGS are limited, the human being, isn’t.

But people think they are some THING. An object. Objects are limited, we as Beings beyond even the concept of Beings, are not, in Reality. I am not a thing, I Am. To be All Encompassing of Everything, you have to be and see Equality in order to be All Encompassing of Everything, and in doing so, you will Transcend All, for if you see Equality in All, the Scales are Equally Balanced, and that means you don’t blind yourself to a particular thing, way of Being etc, so because of that, you Transcend All, as you are None of these things, too. You become Everything and Nothing, beyond even the concept of Everything and Nothing. You just Transcend Beyond. Beyond All things.

I Am.

EDIT: In fact, thinking about it, there are no words that could encapsulate this Understanding. To say you are Transcendent and not limited, means that you are some THING. I say this, what I have said, and all that I say, as concepts, to try to point to what is Beyond even the concept of what I am talking about, as once you bring it into form, into speech, into thought, it automatically limits what you are trying to get across, an Understanding that is Beyond the concepts, Beyond the mind, Beyond All things, becomes limited once you speak it, write it, think of it, as it becomes a creation, and creation automatically and inherently limits.

Only Breath by Rumi

“Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, Not Hindu

Buddhist, sufi or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East

or the west, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not

composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or the next,

did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace

of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two

worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that

breath breathing, human being.”

Communication of The Divine

Did you know, The Divine uses a LOT of symbols and symbology to get across meanings for us humans to figure out what They mean? Yeah, sometimes it IS literal, but a lot of times it is all symbolic, that is what I have learned from interacting with The Divine so much. But, only those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear, can decipher these symbols correctly, and sometimes, there may be more than one perception or meaning behind this symbology that The Divine uses, too.

Of course, The Divine is Transcendent Beyond ALL things, so that includes symbology and symbols, too, but, The Divine DOES use these things sometimes, when in communication with us. Of course, The Divine has ways of communicating that go FAR Beyond any human way of communicating, even, WAY Beyond our own psychic senses, WAY Beyond our own individual abilities. It is called "Gnosis", and Gnosis is like talking without words, without images, without any THING, whole understandings can come from a few seconds of this form of communication and even, whole books can be understood from just a few seconds of this form of communication, too. It is a Transcendent experience.

Gnosis is when these understandings from The Divine, soak into the marrow of your bones, Beyond your bones even, to your Full Essence. This Gnosis becomes YOU. You become a walking.. whatever it is you have understood, it is miraculous, as it is FULL embodiment from this deep Gnosis, even just a few seconds of it, and it can change you, FULLY. You BECOME it. Having Gnosis of the Emptiness of all of reality, and the Nothingness of God, I became this Gnosis, I feel it, Cemented into my whole Being, and nothing can get rid of that.

Just some ramblings...

A Glass Half Full, Half Empty... Or...

People often say what do you perceive?

A glass half full or a glass half empty?

Some people feel that to balance the two like a balancing act, still seeing these perceptions of the same thing, but just trying to balance them out, embracing both perceptions, is actual balance and transcendence of the opposites. What they don't understand, is that there is a "third" viewpoint which is only created by seeing these opposites as fully equal, fully in equality to one another, and that viewpoint is, that the glass is neither half full and/or neither half empty, It Just Is. THAT, is how you actually balance and hold the opposites, THAT, is how you become paradox, beyond even the concept and understanding of paradox, THAT is how you transcend duality. Paradox is only paradox to those who cannot see the Truth. By ACTUALLY balancing the two extremes, the two opposites, it creates a third perception, as those two extremes were created to be separate and differentiated, they are actually creations of the mind, they are meant to be seen as opposing, distinct and different to each other, that was how they were created to be, you can only see limitation and separation in creation, always, and so still seeing these creations and opposites, it means they CANNOT become one in actuality, it is impossible. Fire and ice, light and dark, in and out, up and down, these created opposites when equalised and balanced out FULLY, will ALWAYS cancel each other out, because they were meant to be separate and distinct to begin with, they were meant to be opposites and opposing each other, and that perception of it being a glass neither half full and/or half empty, is transcendence beyond the two perceptions, the two opposites, as the perceptions of a glass half full and/or half empty, have both cancelled each other out, it is transcendence beyond duality. THAT, is actual balance, actual transcendence. Seeing a glass half full AND a glass half empty and that is it, is still not seeing beyond the opposites, therefore not transcending duality, as it is still IN the opposites, you haven't transcended duality if you still see the duality only. The creation of that third way, means transcendence beyond the opposites, beyond duality. It is NOT transcending duality unless you actually transcend duality. This third way, is the way of Emptiness and Nothingness, which is transcendence.

Religion and Spirituality

Religion is just the human, earthly, external trappings around Spirituality. It is all a creation by humans to externalise Spirituality. But, Spirituality is ALWAYS Internal, it ALWAYS comes from Within. If you didn’t have your Self, you would have no Spirituality. Religion is the creation around Spirituality, it is NOT the Spirituality in and of itself. It is just the external human symbolism, human concepts and human meaning around it. Religion dances around Spirituality, but is not Spirituality. Spirituality always Transcends the external Religious creation, as it always comes from Within, and always is the Experiential Reality itself.

Religion is not Within, it does not Transcend the external creation, and it is not the Experiential Reality in and of itself. Religion is the finger of human creation, pointing to the Moon, not the Moon itself, so to speak. All of our Spiritualities come from Within, if it didn’t, then it would be disastrous for all of us. We would be severed from our own Self and from God, who is actually always Inside us All. Separate, yet One.

I always class myself, if I had to describe and label myself somehow for others to understand, as Spiritual but not Religious, due to not having a Religion. I find that if I were to have a Religion, I would be limiting my own Self and it would drive me crazy, I couldn’t do it. I would not be able to be my Self, I would be negating certain Aspects of myself, and also, be squashing down other Aspects. I would also be too biased in myself, for what is a Religious bias, but a specific belief of how Reality is and how Reality works? Not many people can say they are Religious, yet still Accept every other form of Religion and Spirituality as being Legit and Equal to their own Reality. It cannot compute, for some reason.

That is the short-sightedness of what Religion is, is about, and of the human themselves. When we conceptualise with our minds, we split apart, separate and create things. Things are inherently limited in themselves, due to this split/separation, and due to creating a thing. By thinking, we cannot get out of this act of creating limitation, just from the creation itself. Creating a thing inherently makes that thing a limitation by its very nature, it cannot be anything other than what it was designed to be. But, God/s is/are not limited. God/s Transcend every human conception and invention, God/s Transcend the mind, the heart, the body, the soul.

One good thing about Realising the Emptiness of All of Reality, and the Nothingness of God, is that it Encompasses every conceivable thing in the entire world, and you Accept and Respect every thing, every aspect, every belief, every faith, every concept, every difference, every thing ever created. Yet, at the same time, you Transcend All these things. It helps create Empathy, Compassion, Acceptance and Love for others own differences.
