DONT FREAK, JUST RELAX

I’ve been thinking lately of how lucky I’ve been over the last few months but then I don’t believe in luck, everything comes down to karma which usually freaks people out or they just don’t want to deal with it because it means they aren’t in control of their future but then you never can because everything in the universe is governed by specific laws of the past, chemistry and physics and that everything has to exist in an equilibrium so of course you are in control but also limited by what you have done in the past but then karma only means action and its judgment is laid upon it by humans and their limited perception of time and space because so many times when something bad has happened down the track you realise its been a blessing but then if you take it further the closer to the eternal source of life there is no such thing as man animal or mineral because they are all just physical entities of the earth and the stars and are governed by the physical properties of those elements which are made up largely of space as the electrons are constantly in random movement which is why everything consists of more of space or emptiness than anything else and they are in constant motion regardless of its physical form whether a rock tree or human all we are, are masses of emptiness in constant motion so you realise our goal has nothing to do with this world at all but the basic state of all life which is energy and consciousness to return to the basic form which can not be labelled because it can not be known by the mind but to just be where there are no men or women, animals or even fear because there all manifestations of the ego the ego only knows things about something but not its natural state because it would be destroyed and become purposeless because it would realise that the state above is exponentially more blissful than anything it could create and that basically nothing really matters the more you own the more it owns and controls you and your life as you start having to live to work and continue buying crap you don’t need instead of just working to live, if people realised that they didn’t need it and that it doesn’t define them there would be no rich or poor and the whole world economy would collapse we are not human we can never be rich or poor because they are judgements based upon particles that will last for billions of years in constant motion do you ever think what it takes to meet someone new or change those who are in your life regardless of whether you want to judge an event in your life by good or bad which in essence is only based upon how much suffering it brings to you or those around you, because they don’t exist also because our judgments are not universal what one person may see as good another person standing next in line might see it as the most horrific event of their life when in essence they are both unaware of workings of the universe, as the happiest moments in your life can only exist because of some one else’s suffering, for something good to happen in your life some is suffering, and vice versa when something bad happens in your life some one else benefits and sees the event as positive, molecules are constantly flying through the air and interacting with our own bodies and everything else around us, do you think they care of old age or death so why then when grouped in a large mass and called human should it make a difference we can barely control the workings of our own bodies, breathing, heart beat disease old age, temperature, what makes us think we can control the future the only freedom there is as Ajahn Brahm puts it is that the only true freedom is, freedom from desires and not its opposite which our society tries to sell us at every step of our life and that’s freedom of desire, as where constantly bombarded with media trying imprint onto our psyche only one will lead to any happiness or fulfilment the other is just like giving a bone to a dog he can chew on it for as long as he likes but will always remain hungry and all we have to do is let go, its only when we have lost everything can we be free.

In the Garden of Solitude

 T he stillness where shadows whisper,   I wander the garden of my solitude,   Amongst the withered petals of hope,   Fear blooms like a nig...
