[Something to reflect upon during this politically charged national US election getting us all wrapped up in making a choice. It's not so much that there's a choice, but the mezmerization, disputation, and polarization that seems to be an inadvertent and unnoticed part of the process.]

The Mistaken Dualistic Mind 

 Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche

All the philosophical theories that exist have been created by the mistaken dualistic minds of human beings. In the realm of philosophy, that which today is considered true, may tomorrow be proved to be false. No one can guarantee a philosophy's validity. Because of this, any intellectual way of seeing whatever is always partial and relative. The fact is that there is no truth to seek or to confirm logically; rather what one needs to do is to discover just how much the mind continually limits itself in a condition of dualism.

Dualism is the real root of our suffering and of all our conflicts. All our concepts and beliefs, no matter how profound they may seem, are like nets which trap us in dualism. When we discover our limits we have to try to overcome them, untying ourselves from whatever type of religious, political or social conviction may condition us. We have to abandon such concepts as 'enlightenment', 'the nature of the mind', and so on, until we are no longer satisfied by a merely intellectual knowledge, and until we no longer neglect to integrate our knowledge with our actual existence.

from the book by Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche "Dzogchen: The Self-Perfected State"

"This formulation will not please either the mass man or the collective believer. For the former the policy of the State is the supreme principle of thought and action. Indeed, this was the purpose for which he was enlightened, and accordingly the mass man grants the individual a right to exist only in so far as he is a function of the State. 

"The believer, on the other hand, while admitting that the State has a moral and factual claim on him, confesses to the belief that not only man but the State that rules him is subject to the overlordship of “God,” and that, in case of doubt, the supreme decision will be made by God and not by the State. Since I do not presume to any metaphysical judgments, I must leave it an open question whether the “world,” i.e., the phenomenal world of man, and hence nature in general, is the “opposite” of God or not. I can only point to the fact that the psychological opposition between these two realms of experience is not only vouched for in the New Testament but is still exemplified very plainly today in the negative attitude of the dictator States to religion and of the Church to atheism and materialism.

"Just as man, as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence and his own spiritual and moral autonomy anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors. The individual who is not anchored in God can offer no resistance on his own resources to the physical and moral blandishments of the world. For this he needs the evidence of inner, transcendent experience which alone can protect him from the otherwise inevitable submersion in the mass. Merely intellectual or even moral insight into the stultification and moral irresponsibility of the mass man is a negative recognition only and amounts to not much more than a wavering on the road to the atomization of the individual. It lacks the driving force of religious conviction, since it is merely rational. 

"The dictator State has one great advantage over bourgeois reason: along with the individual it swallows up his religious forces. The State takes the place of God; that is why, seen from this angle, the socialist dictatorships are religions and State slavery is a form of worship. But the religious function cannot be dislocated and falsified in this way without giving rise to secret doubts, which are immediately repressed so as to avoid conflict with the prevailing trend towards mass-mindedness. The result, as always in such cases, is overcompensation in the form of fanaticism, which in its turn is used as a weapon for stamping out the least flicker of opposition. Free opinion is stifled and moral decision ruthlessly suppressed, on the plea that the end justifies the means, even the vilest. The policy of the State is exalted to a creed, the leader or party boss becomes a demigod beyond good and evil, and his votaries are honoured as heroes, martyrs, apostles, missionaries. There is only one truth and beside it no other. It is sacrosanct and above criticism. Anyone who thinks differently is a heretic, who, as we know from history, is threatened with all manner of unpleasant things. Only the party boss, who holds the political power in his hands, can interpret the State doctrine authentically, and he does so just as suits him.

"When, through mass rule, the individual becomes social unit No. so-and-so and the State is elevated to the supreme principle, it is only to be expected that the religious function too will be sucked into the maelstrom. Religion, as the careful observation and taking account of certain invisible and uncontrollable factors, is an instinctive attitude peculiar to man, and its manifestations can be followed all through human history. Its evident purpose is to maintain the psychic balance, for the natural man has an equally natural “knowledge” of the fact that his conscious functions may at any time be thwarted by uncontrollable happenings coming from inside as well as from outside. For this reason he has always taken care that any difficult decision likely to have consequences for himself and others shall be rendered safe by suitable measures of a religious nature. Offerings are made to the invisible powers, formidable blessings are pronounced, and all kinds of solemn rites are performed. Everywhere and at all times there have been rites d’entrée et de sortie whose efficacy is impugned as magic and superstition by rationalists incapable of psychological insight. But magic has above all a psychological effect whose importance should not be underestimated. The performance of a “magical” action gives the person concerned a feeling of security which is absolutely essential for carrying out a decision, because a decision is inevitably somewhat one-sided and is therefore rightly felt to be a risk. Even a dictator thinks it necessary not only to accompany his acts of State with threats but to stage them with all manner of solemnities. Brass bands, flags, banners, parades, and monster demonstrations are no different in principle from ecclesiastical processions, cannonades, and fireworks to scare off demons. Only, the suggestive parade of State power engenders a collective feeling of security which, unlike religious demonstrations, gives the individual no protection against his inner demonism. Hence he will cling all the more to the power of the State, i.e., to the mass, thus delivering himself up to it psychically as well as morally and putting the finishing touch to his social depotentiation. The State, like the Church, demands enthusiasm, selfsacrifice, and love, and if religion requires or presupposes the “fear of God,” then the dictator State takes good care to provide the necessary terror.

"When the rationalist directs the main force of his attack against the miraculous effect of the rite as asserted by tradition, he has in reality completely missed the mark. The essential point, the psychological effect, is overlooked, although both parties make use of it for directly opposite purposes. A similar situation prevails with regard to their respective conceptions of the goal. The goals of religion — deliverance from evil, reconciliation with God, rewards in the hereafter, and so on — turn into worldly promises about freedom from care for one’s daily bread, the just distribution of material goods, universal prosperity in the future, and shorter working hours. That the fulfilment of these promises is as far off as Paradise only furnishes yet another analogy and underlines the fact that the masses have been converted from an extramundane goal to a purely worldly belief, which is extolled with exactly the same religious fervour and exclusiveness that the creeds display in the other direction."

𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 ... 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 ...

Looking at the news of the day — Oh, Boy! — it should be obvious that we're not all on the same page. Same as it ever was. And, as the world turns, same as it ever will be. Perhaps. 

Whatever ... let's be realistic, plan for a miracle.

Not on the same page, and we're not on the same level either.

This can beg the question what is the correct level? I'm betting the first thing what comes to mind when sorting out "levels" is the notion that there is a hierarchy of values, on a scale of good and bad. Seems like relative value is baked into the term. I'm not going there. Too many arguments over good and bad from folks operating at differing levels. Many, maybe most, not even aware that their position(s) are founded on conditioning, and it drives their lives and preferences. Sub rosa, under the radar of awareness. But, not you or me; those others. You know what I'm talking about. 

Mostly I think we're thrown to look at the comparison on level as if it's on a vertically organized scale. High, and low. Scientifically, maybe so. Temperature. Pressure. Sea level. Elevators. Stairs. Mountain climbing. You get the drift. Or, in sports. Me, in B-ball; then there's Michael Jordan. Like that too. You know what I'm talking about.

There's another kind of level that we seem to miss; and, like I said, that gets us into quarrels of all kinds. Those are the unconscious levels of our psychic conditioning through which the average individual sees their world. And, you guessed it, my view is better than yours. More correct. Or, just plain right; and, you're wrong! Heck, this writing itself is my view. And, you also guessed it, maybe just for the fact that I'm writing it proves I value my view enough to put it into the Interverse. You know what I'm talking about.

Just look at the political divide to see the competition on levels writ large. Large enough for some dumb asshole or other to take up arms. What should we do when our opponent is an existential threat? Imagine Kamala loses and has to certify a fascist as President? Mind blowing scenario. Let's not let that happen! Geez! But, Joe asked us all to cool it. Joe, Joe who?

Beware. The ones pointing to the existential threat may be the existential threat themselves. Or, are you so divested of your accumulated unconscious conditioning(s) that you see things crystal clear now? If you are, I expect you'll list yourself as such in the comments section below. Otherwise, maybe spend some quality time sitting with yourself regularly in silence. Clean the dust and clear the cobwebs is what that does.

But then there's the level on the horizontal scale too. Like on the radio dial. Tuned into different stations. We can have our preferences, but we don't go to war over those. Or, on the playing field. Some games use a football shaped like a football [Hey! I'm an American, and we know what a football looks like! Two tit-like shapes with a ball in the center. (For you's who don't know WTF is a football)] and other games use a round ball and call that football. Huh? Geez! I will never get over that one. Maybe that's why Soccer fans can be so, shall we say, demonstrative. C'mon man, indeed! I remember a time when the coed across the lunch table from me at the student cafeteria was playing with my balls under the table with her foot. But that's a story for another time. And, by balls, yes; I'm gonaically speaking there. You know what I'm talking about.

Level. Looked at without a sense of hierarchy or valuation opens the conversation to a more creative range of options as opposed to the typical praise and blame, right and wrong dichotomy. I'm writing on this at this time on account of it seems the, ahem, dichotomy is in the zone of the next thing will be torches and pitchforks. Of course, after DJT got nicked Uncle Joe has admonished all the folk to tone down the rhetoric. Good on 46. And, if you follow the news the next day we were back at it. Full on, as usual. But, got to give Joe et al cred for saying that. Also, bless his heart, expressing deep heartfelt concern for mass killing while supplying the resources that make it happen. Hey! If you want to know what propaganda looks like in its full-on glory, that last bit should do it for you. Joe has spoken his concern, now we can all get back to picking our noses. Or, how when shit goes down, an investigation ensues. While the shit continues to go down as we await the outcome of the investigation conducted by the very ones bringing the shit to be going down. Notice that, Pilgrim?

Have you heard the news? Trump is a Fascist. Since that came from so-called reliable, informed sources it must be true. And, as you know said sources have no skin in the game and only cleave their hearts and souls to the Constitution and the American Dream. Oh, there's a book for sale if you want to part with some cash to learn the details. Never mind that the one who lobbed the assertion was on the scene for years, but only now comes out with the bad news. Two weeks before the election. Just a coincidence we can be sure. Not. And, a book. I know, many don't like Mr. President Trump. So much so that anything that shows up denigrated him just sticks like sticky overcooked Spaghetti to our mental wall. Never mind the purposeful misunderstanding interpretations. The cherry picked words out of context. The lack of context. The recontextualizations. Reinterpreted amiguities. Outright lies. But, of course, the facts are all there laid out neatly to maintain our position. Such a mountain of facts that who has the time or stomach to sort them out. Just rest on a bed of my own confirmation bias. And, BTW, if you take it that there's some criticism of the Dems in this, don't necessarily take it that ipso facto I'm for The Donald. I'm for sanity. And, it don't look like there's much on the political scene. But, there's JOY! Hurrah! Something we can all get behind for sure.

Time to deliver some real news: 

Dreamer! Wake the fuck up! 

As we speak, unspeakable horrors are going on with our full backing with lengthy and Biblically bona vide justifications for the murderousness — I myself see it as genocide, but the jury is not in on that determination, so let's wait a year or so until the investigation is completed — and while I wait I'm wondering what dressing I should prepare for tonight's dinner salad. Why? Our leaders assure us that we're doing the right thing. Just go on with things as usual.

Unless of course we're talking politics and you know that the one you're voting for is right. If only because the other mofo is wrong. But that's also another mud fight for another time. But, isn't it interesting that good people can have such diametrically opposite positions on the candidates. Wonder why that's so. Especially when you back up a bit from the fray you see that the actual differences between the candidates on essential matters are not all that different. That's the game of politics, isn't it? Making out who's right and who's wrong. Giving the hoi polloi its choice. Only nowadays, the game is on a deadly pitch over which on is gonna take us all to hell in a hand basket. Never mind that that game itself is the real devil. Politics. Deadly stuff as of late. 

You know what I'm talking about. 

PS If you do — You know what I'm talking about — then please someone tell me what Kamala is talking about?

What to do?

"Meditation is one of the most extraordinary things, and if you do not know what it is you are like a blind person in a world of bright color, shadows, and moving light.

"It is not an intellectual affair; when the heart enters into the mind, the mind has quite a different quality: it is then really limitless, not only in its capacity to think, to act efficiently; but also in its sense of living in a vast space where you are part of everything.

"Meditation is the movement of love...

"This meditation cannot be learned from another. You must begin without knowing anything about it, and move from innocence to innocence.

"The soil in which the meditative mind can begin is the soil of everyday life; the strife, the pain, and the fleeting joy. It must begin there, and bring order, and from there move endlessly ... 

"You must take a plunge into the water, not knowing how to swim. And the beauty of meditation is that you never know where you are, where you are going, what the end is."

J. Krishnamurti

Never let your government tell you 

who your enemies are. 

From Caitlin Johnstone

It’s not the fault of middle eastern people that they live on top of a bunch of oil near crucial trade routes in a region which bridges three continents. And that’s all this has ever been about. Not fighting “terrorism”. Not spreading freedom and democracy. Not even protecting Israel. It’s ultimately about controlling what happens in a geostrategically crucial and resource-rich stretch of land.

The people who live in that part of the world never did you any harm. They pose no threat to you. You’re only being told to hate them because the world’s most powerful people need to dominate west Asia in order to dominate the planet, and they need to inflict immense amounts of violence in order to do so. That’s all this is.

Our rulers use all kinds of narratives from all around the world and across the political spectrum to justify their actions. They’ll use Zionism, Christian fundamentalism, Islamic fundamentalism, Hindu fundamentalism, liberalism, conservatism, nationalism or woke identity politics to manufacture consent for their agendas wherever needed. They’ll feed you whatever lines you need to hear in order to dupe you into thinking that disobedient populations in the middle east need military explosives dropped on them. That’s all they care about.

Our rulers use their propagandists in the mainstream news media and their narrative managers in Silicon Valley to manipulate public perception toward these murderous agendas using half-truths, lies by omission, distortions, misleading headlines, reversing the victim and the aggressor, starting the timeline of events at convenient points, and uncritically repeating unproven allegations from untrustworthy sources. These manipulators are as critical to the operation of the imperial war machine as the actual people who drop the bombs.

What kind of groveling, slobbering bootlicker would play along with this? What kind of power-worshipping empire simp would consent to murder and abuse at mass scale against people who pose no threat to them whatsoever, just because the people in charge told them to feel that way? What a pathetic, profoundly undignified way to exist.

They work so hard to manufacture our consent for these atrocities because they absolutely require our consent. So don’t give it to them. When all is said and done our rulers are at all times acutely aware of the fact that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that we could very easily turn around and eat them all if we got it into our heads that that would be a good thing to do. Hold fast to your power, refuse to be taken in by their manipulations, and help wake everyone up to the fact that we are being continuously deceived into compliance, confusion and powerlessness by murderous psychopaths who want to rule the world.

Our real enemies are not in Iran.

Our real enemies are not in Lebanon.

Our real enemies are not in Gaza or the West Bank.

Our real enemies are not in Yemen, Syria, or Iraq.

Our real enemies are in Washington and London and Tel Aviv. In Berlin and Paris and Canberra. In secretive government agencies in the state of Virginia, and in imperial propaganda institutions in New York and Hollywood.

Our real enemies are not the Arabs and the Iranians, they’re the managers of empire who are ruining our world, destroying our biosphere, siphoning our wealth and our resources, threatening us with nuclear brinkmanship, and making sure we stay too poor, sick, busy and brainwashed to figure out what’s going on and take a stand against them.

Don’t let them dupe you into believing otherwise. Fight against their manipulations, and oppose their abuses. We healthy human beings can absolutely win this thing, but even if we don’t, at the very least we can prevent them from stealing our dignity and manipulating us into cheering for their depravity.

When people become acquainted with the unconscious they often get into an extraordinary state—they flare up, they explode, old buried emotions come up, they begin to weep about things which happened forty years ago.

That simply means that they were prematurely detached from that stage of life; they have forgotten that there are buried fires still burning. Then they were unconscious, but when they touch the lower centers, they get back into that world and become aware that it is still hot, like a fire that has been left forgotten under the ashes.

But take away the ashes and there are still the glowing embers underneath, as it is said of pilgrims going to Mecca: they leave their fires buried under the ashes, and when they return the following year the embers are still glowing.

— Carl Jung

And, from Lance Kelly ...

The Surrender of Self

The self, which is the mind and emotional body, is a mass of psychic force until transformed through living as a more conscious being in the world. In the normal mode of living, the self doesn’t need to exert unnecessary energy beyond its vital needs, which it extracts from its host body – the person. This it does through the fluctuating emotional reactions that are typical symptoms of unconscious living. But when someone begins to take command of their inner kingdom (which is when the focus of intelligence turns inward), the self no longer has things its own way as before. Startled by the sudden intrusion from the light of consciousness on its dark underworld, the self withdraws a little deeper from conscious scrutiny. In this temporary vacuum there is then an inrush of enlightened energy, which is characteristic of a spiritual awakening. But it’s not long before the self returns to regain its lost ground within the subconscious space of the psyche.

As the spiritual process unfolds and the individual perseveres in overcoming the insidious nature of the self, more ground is made through the purification of the inner space. The consequences for the self, in no longer having the freedom as before to influence the life, is that it becomes more troublesome than before. The entity of pain must now exert more forceful energy to sustain its presence in existence. Unbeknown to the self (since it has no knowledge beyond what’s been experienced in time) its body has now been reduced in mass, amplifying its presence as extreme discomfort and pain. In a desperate attempt for attention to experience itself, the core of self begins to consume its energetic body; the intense pressure being registered is the self dying and not the purity of the man or woman.

The suffering must be borne without self-judgement or trying to understand why it’s happening. This is spiritual humility and a selfless offering to the Most High. It’s to be valiant and one-pointed in the devotion to a higher love. The self is being made to capitulate but will resist all the way when it feels its power is being weakened. With perseverance, the self eventually yields and kneels before the altar of the Lord: the absence of all knowing that is the reality of God. This obliterates the final taint of self as the total surrender to the Divine Being that sustains life everlasting.

Finally the self, having been eroded by the unrelenting light of the spirit, has been transformed of its defiant nature. This coincides with the realisation of the state of immortality. The self has not died but is now aligned with the one good and serves life at the behest of the Divine Will. The task is then to bring the knowledge of the spiritual realisation into the world through the living life. Only in the harsh material environment of the western global society can the truth of existence be validated as a completion of a particular phase of the spiritual process.

‘ICHI TANTEI’ PRACTICE

Perhaps you wonder if we do zazen in pursuit of that which we most want. No, we do not. Doing zazen is Buddha. Doing zazen is already the full expression of buddha nature.

We are quickly caught up in the form of things, readily pulled in by what others have to say. This is such that if you are told, “Hey, doing zazen is Buddha”, you might readily respond, “Yes, doing zazen is Buddha, isn’t it?”
In that case, I will have to say, “No, you are wrong.”

It is interesting to observe what a great discrepancy there is between theoretical understanding and truth itself. Take a dumpling, for example. Without actually sampling it, any explanation, regardless of how thorough, would give only a rough idea of the flavor of that dumpling, but never its essential taste. Without actually chewing it, you cannot know its actual flavor. Depending on what we are eating, our individual way of tasting it may differ, I suppose, but the fact of having really experienced the taste is the same with everyone, isn’t it?

The reality of really tasting that dumpling is about the same regardless of whether you are eating it for the first time or if you are an old hand at eating dumplings. Zen is just like this. From the first time you sit, you can fully experience the flavor of Zen.

We have the expression, ‘ichi tantei’. NOW. NOW. This is ‘ichi tantei’. A teacher is one who clearly reveals this to the student. “Reality is not off someplace else, away from right now and here. NOW. HERE. Don’t be careless. Don’t be off guard.” The teacher points out the path, the direct route, in the way most appropriate to each student. With this direction, the student can truly practice the most treasured, straight path.

To maintain this spirit of practice, the student single-mindedly works to make the ‘tantei’ constant so that everything is his daily life becomes this practice, this research into his true identity; everything becomes zazen. This is truly being alive.

When one settles into this ‘ichi tantei’, regardless of the job he has to do in this world, his efficiency increases manifold. This is because his practice becomes doing solely whatever he is doing, so that distractions do not arise. Therefore, in whatever circumstance he may find himself, his efficiency is increased.

It is such that he even comes to wonder how it is this world is taking such good care of him. Living in truth like this is wonderful!

Big mind, joyful mind, parental mind.

Completely enveloped in and succored by the whole universe, you are like the mountains, like the seas, like the great sky which knows no limits. This great, big boundlessness is your own mind, ‘Big Mind’. To awaken to this Big Mind, just do whatever it is you are doing right this moment with your whole heart. If you do with all your might, this world will, without fail, reveal itself to you. This hard little lump of ‘self’ will dissolve, and you will inevitably awaken to Big Mind.

‘Joyful Mind’ is the mind that cannot help but feel gratitude. It is not that you feel thankful because you are supposed to feel thankful, but rather that you cannot help but feel thankful. You feel so much gratitude that it spills over as joy.

And then from that boundless joy, kindness arises, kindness which is born from thoroughly exhausting all of one’s small self and merging to become one with others. This is ‘Parental Mind’.

When Big Mind, Joyful Mind, and Parental Mind come together as one body, just this in itself is Bodhisattva Mind.

No matter how much you study, how many books you read or how much theory you learn, this kind of knowledge can only be an aid, but never the driving force, toward peace of mind. And actually, if one is not careful, theoretical exercise can even be an obstacle. The important thing is to let go of mind and body and take refuge in truth itself. It is a matter of permitting yourself, all you can, to recognize truth, to sincerely live in the now, here which IS your life.

If you see only the differences between yourself and others, you feel easily irritated, overly sensitive. If you’re out to take care of just your own little self, guard your own little castle, protect your own separate existence in whatever way you can, it’ll all eventually just go under anyway, won’t it? So go back to the starting point, return to your true home, the home which is the same for every single being in this world. I want to see you awaken to your true self.

When Big Mind, Joyful Mind, and Parental Mind come together as one body, just this in itself is Bodhisattva Mind.
