for following the agenda of remaining As I Am, as this Authentic Self, does not improve the lives of actual people and does not solve the problems of war and domestic violence and grief and suicide on this planet, as being so does not eliminate malice and sorrow. what remaining as this 'I', by any name, no matter how primordial, does, however, is keep the passions going, the instinctual urges going, of which the very Ground of Being is composed. and so remaining as this 'I' still contributes to our practical problems and keeps the wars going, the genocides going, the murders going, the suicides going, the rapes going, the violence going, the abuse going, the bullying going, the manipulation going, the domestic conflict between men and women going, the battle of the sexes going, the prejudices going, the racism going, the religious strife going.. in seeing this fact, 'I' can be willing to die - so that 'I' do not continue to hold this house of cards up. just as 'i' am seen through when I am Known as the True Self, so too when this house of cards comes down, 'I' will not be there, because thus absent will also be my feelings, no matter how spontaneous and divine; for as just as 'i' (small self) had discovered that 'I' (Awareness) am not something that can be caught in 'my' human tragedy, 'I' (Awareness) discover that 'My' existence necessarily perpetuates it nevertheless.. and the end of 'My' existence also ends it. |
