 170. Truth � Reality |
Nature does not think. Reality is not (Itself) a thought-process. Therefore, the esoteric Great Process (of Realizing Reality, Truth, or Real God) is not an exercise of discursive (or egoic, and conceptual, or dualistically interpreting) mind - which "thinking mind" is a characteristic rather exclusively (or most elaborately) associated with human beings (or, at least, a characteristic that is not common to all naturally, and conditionally, existing beings). Rather, the esoteric Great Process is, for human beings, a responsive Reality-recognizing (or Truth-recognizing, or Real-God-recognizing) exercise of the four principal human faculties (of attention, emotional feeling, bodily sensation, and breath) - which four principal human faculties correspond to the four principal human faculties correspond to the four principal faculties associated, universally, with all naturally (and conditionally) existing beings (and which are, in all non-human cases of naturally, and conditionally, existing beings, demonstrated in at least primitive, or rudimentary, functions - such as responsive directionality, responsiveness to energy, responsiveness to sensation, and the responsive "conductivity," or total psycho-physical circulation, of both energy and physical substance).
The Great (esoteric, and truly religious, and truly scientific, or freely enquiring) Process is That of ego-surrendering, and ego-forgetting, and ego-transcending Attunement to - or ego-transcending (and, thus, "point-of-view"-transcending, and thought-transcending, or "difference"-transcending) Communion with (and, Ultimately, Most Perfect, and Perfectly Subjective, Identification with) - What Is. What Is, Is Reality Itself (and Truth Itself, and the only Real God). And That Great Process (of Realizing What Is) necessarily requires the recognition-responsive surrender, forgetting, and transcending of the four principal (and universally displayed) life-faculties.
Only the Perfectly Subjective (or Inherent, and Acausal, or Non-causing) "Point of View" (or space-time- Transcending Self-condition) Is Divine and True. Only That "Point of View" (or Divine Self-Condition, inherently Transcending all "points of view" in space-time) Is (Itself) Reality, Truth, and Real God. And only the Realization of That Reality, Truth, and Real God Liberates all (to Demonstrate Reality, Truth, and Real God), by Setting the heart (or essential pattern, or apparent entity, or apparently separate self-condition, of psycho-physical being) Free from all separateness, "difference," and conditional relatedness.
The ego-"I" is always (and inherently) seeking and arguing-because it is inherently (and actively, and always self-contractively) dissociated (or apparently separated) from Reality, Truth, and Real God. The ego-"I" is inherently dissociated, dissatisfied, self-deluded, and un-Free. Whether the ego-"I" argues for scientific materialism, or conventional God-religion, or anything at all - its argument is merely mummer's talk (or the "talking" form of what is, traditionally, called "sin," or "the missing of the mark," and which is best described simply as egoity, or the self-contracted, separate, and separative ego-"I" itself).
Reality, Truth, and Real God is not evident in "objective reality" (or from the egoic "point of view" of "out-side"). Nor is Reality, Truth, and Real God Realized merely by going "within" (or by, in any manner, merely exercising) the ego-"I" itself. Rather, Reality, Truth, and Real God is Realized only by transcending the ego-"I" (or the separate and separative "point of view" of self-contraction) in What Is.
Some conventional God-religionists argue for the "God-interpretation" of scientifically observed "objective reality" by emphasizing the irreducible complexity of natural patterns (such as the living cells that compose the human body). Such conventional God-religionists call for positive (or hopeful) belief in "God," based on the observable designs (or complex patterns) in the natural world. They argue for positive (or hopeful) "God-belief," based on their assumption that "design" requires a "designer." But "design" is not limited in kind - such that a positively definable "designer" is universally indicated. That is to say, patterns are everywhere in evidence - in both positive and negative forms. Not only are living human cells irreducibly complex - but so are the patterns of self-delusion, disease, decay, universal destruction, and death. Therefore what "God" is to be hopefully affirmed (or, otherwise, hopelessly denied) on the basis of mere "objectively" (and egoically) observed patterning?
