Life's deep questions

Answers to life's deepest questions on the new blog Why How Deep.

New Taoist Philosophy Short Book: "Pop!"

Introduction: Buy The Book

In the stream bubbles appear one new one a second and as we watch old ones pop every second, pop, pop, pop. These bubbles represent humans coming into the world by birth and leaving by death, each second is this swirl of bubbles, pop, pop, pop, pop, and one day that pop will be you!

The thought of a death a second is not such a nice one as to dwell on it and so we do not, the thought though of the ongoing mass game of Russian Roulette where your number is guaranteed to come up at some unknown time should force a smart adjustment in perspective and awakening to the moment and living, now.

You do not spend your time sitting mourning each and every pop, considered though the thought of your own popping may be of some concern. Will you pop out of the blue unprepared or will you feel your pop coming? Part of your concern over your pop is sadness and loss you'll leave behind in others.

Each moment a pop, pop, pop, each moment people suffering that. Aren't you though, the stream?

So why the world? Why life? Love!

I make this dream world of mind for love.

Don't fight over it. Don't fight others, don't fight yourself,

We are here in my dream for love.

You are me.

Say I.

Never forget

You are the supreme reality.

You are Tao.

Tao unknowable by manifestation

What else can give rise to reality unless it is itself beyond any measurable quality?

This is how Tao is the root of the universe.

Your path i to I

All wisdom and all answers are within you. In the end it is you who decides that something fits or does not. At times things may not appear to fit and may appear false, at times the opposite, and in both cases the situation can flip: seemingly useless becomes perfect wisdom, perfect ideas can also crumble.

Around the time your body was born, it was given a name. You know you can change your name, you are not the name. You are also not the body. That was a construct. You are the self alone. I am. The mind is the tool you used for most of your life. On seeing it limited as it is you took to looking behind the veil and looking with no mind brought about its own issues.

Now you have seen yourself. A body in space and a mind in time are your instruments. Life is your ocean. Conciousness is your space and Awareness is your universe self.

The space between zero and one

Life flows in the space between zero and one.

Zero is void and one is the totality and these are the same.

life flows within this potential.

Substance to illusion

Subject - Sub is under the projection.

Object - Ob is in opposition or relation to the projection.

Let us take the projection as the mind. Subject is under the influence of the mind. and Objects are relative things appearing to the mind.

To move beyond the projection then would be to see ourself as the light. That which is pure and untainted. Instead of focusing on the projection and giving substance to the illusion.

Here is to death

Life, the stream. The people, the bubbles.

Pop! goes one. And the stream still flows.

Die back to one

Of course this is all a dream with no dreamer. (The one you thought to be dreamer is in the dream too.)

In death I wake, back to the light.

Original Face

Drop the desire for enlightenment and then you are "not-I" and you regain your original face.

Anyone seeking enlightenment is of course not enlightened. Nor could anyone ever be enlightened, as on enlightenment, there is no I.

"I seeking enlightenment" is bound.

"Enlightened" is no-I, free.

So drop the idea you could ever achieve, as that achiever is not even possibly real. Drop the idea of an achieving entity so there is no longer a desirer; and then you reach the non-I, and there is enlightenment...

non-dual truth

If anything has an opposite, then it is a product of the mind. All then, all you can see, hear, touch, imagine, is false. There is no self, no world, no universe.

At your root, before this birth, as you are deep asleep, in every moment of your life, is an undeniable element that sits before even the notion of I.

This is truth.

Human being-ing

I am a human being-ing. It is easy to read being without seeing the be-ing, the ing.

And what is that be-ing but the pure magic sought by all who seek.

This being has no time as it always is, from here to there don't make sense when it always is. This is the being at the root of all, at the root of you. Human.

You are not you are

Step outside of your mind. What you are is perfection. What you are not is perfectible.

Who are you again? Be sure to identify with the true self, not the constructed false one. Then you will realize your inherent perfection without a second of effort.

Liberation

You do not become a liberated being, but liberated from being a being.
