### - smile, several days ago, i posted this xmas message to the peeps in
the facebook 'spiritual waking up' group, which is basically a large group
(of more than 100,000 members) all talking about some kind of spiritual
aspect to life & living in terms of more or less all the known
belief-systems going; an attempt then, if you like, either deliberately or inadvertently, at making some kind of a synthesis of them all, with people
then posting standard questions and these being answered from a variety of sources and from the pov of different belief-systems... in which case you
get sufi answers and buddhist answers + from all the standard organised religions too, perforce also including answers from all the other
whack-job belief-systems; from healers and witches and just about
everything else one can imagine heh...
my post was, however, apparently rejected from publication (they review everything before letting it through etc) probably on the basis that it's
just too controversial/off-topic to be useful? haha, they obviously much preferring to keep everything just the way it is thank you very much! (the fools! lol)
this is what i wrote anyway :P
Good morning everyone :)
I see a lot of different 'belief' systems at-work in this group, but
precious little (if any) Reality?
Here then is my xmas present to you all: A tiny droplet of: Reality :)
This is perhaps best illustrated by the buddhist teaching system, in that 'they' consider the 'outer-form' of buddhism (i.e., all the robes,
chanting, meditations, bells & prayers etc etc, ad infinitum) to be the
LEAST of it all...
A mere ladder then, one which is quite deliberately used/applied to
climb-up 'out' of a certain way of being into another, completely
different, way of being! At which point the ladder itself is then thrown
away!
That the final 'realisation' OF their teachings is the actual goal, one
that only become evident once the 'form' itself has been duly discarded/dispensed with!
One doesn't, for example, take that 'ladder' with you?
The end result of which is someone who is no longer actually a buddhist!
iow: At some point, it's their understanding that they have to 'get-off'
the road!
And as a result they then become 'form-less' & thus free!
Perforce this also applies to all the other 'ladders' one might just be familiar with and/or be practicing too!
So merry xmas peeps, wishing you all a Real one :)
***
hehe, unfortunately, their attachment to all their respective 'ladders'
held sway, 'Reality' not really being part (or goal/aim) of ANY of their beliefs!? (which 'was' actually my point!)
we're all sooo spiritually-minded! they all feel/think/imagine...
when, in reality, they're all just clinging to their respective 'ladders'
(or forms) and worshiping them like some bunch of insane mechanics
worshiping their respective tools!
so then let's all bow and pray to the holy spanners & the almighty wrench!
which, let's face it, wouldn't actually be any more insane than anything
else now would it haha...
the blind leading the blind!
and KEEPING it that way!!!
moi, am probably just lucky to get outta there before they nailed me to
the nearest tree? lol!
for being a blasphemer!!! (cracking up laffing...)
so welcome to wallyworld folks :D
