Ripples and reflections on the surface.

Being Is

November 14, 2011

Being ís the undividable one Being. Being often is imagined - psychologically - as a form, which franticly tries to be there. Through identification this 'I-activity' resists surrender to the directness of Life. It wants to prove it is good enough for a place in the world and believes that peace and value will be found in the reaching of that goal.

To truly realize direct Being - the invitation of the living Life - evokes great indignation… It seems as if with surrender the chance for fulfillment is gone. The Wonder of pure Being isn't noticed. It is believed that 'I' can be there only if 'I' has become something. Being is seen as an object that has to create meaning and space.

Ego - as the identification with an I-form - really believes this argument. It needs convictions to perpetuate the fiction of identity… it fears losing its cherished convictions in the surrender, and thus eradicate its existence. (fear for death)

One conviction is: I'm a form, born to die. This basic misconception appears with many aliases, for instance: I am a separate being originating from the source. The concept origin  immediately creates its complementary part: destiny.

The apparent distance between origin and destiny implicates time, which is needed for the 'I' to reach fulfillment. This seems necessary to become valuable enough to earn a place in the world and reach its destiny. 'Place in the world' is synonymous with 'being able to be there'. 'Destiny' usually means a future experience that will give a good feeling… but in the end salvation, the ultimate destiny where 'I' will be ready.

An imagined object (the I-form) searches in the dimensions to its destiny and salvation. It gets overcome by the idea that time is needed for that and creates through that conviction great psychological tension. The mind is hypnotized by imaginations and can't understand that Being can not be imagined, but is That what makes imagination possible.

The undertone of this psychological time-line is fear, and everything on it can be a hindrance for the journey to salvation. The I-form could be overpowered by another I-form any moment and robbed of its alleged value.

To really allow Being - experientially - seems to take away a chance for salvation for the identity. Fulfillment is seen as the reaching of the goal… the destiny, peace, redemption, etc. This search often is the longing for a good feeling of the separated self… which will come after the outer world has rewarded 'my' successful mission. (the pride of the 'me')

Then it is seen that the reaching of a goal seems to give a nice feeling for a moment, but doesn't really change the basic tone of loneliness. The yearning for being home is recognized. From what looks like the surrounding a message comes about the Being that Is… In a timeless moment consciousness realizes it already is this indefinable Being, and that it was searching for very long for a physical place… to be home.

There is an awakening from the hypnoses of identity and a realisation of direct Being. Time is recognized as the illusion which the I-form, while looking for fulfillment, was obeying. The mind relaxes and realizes it is the one Light, which was hypnotized by a reflection of Light, through belief given to the reflection. 'The Being that Is' is recognized as timeless Home.
