The Cosmic Joke

[Guest guest]

Evolution is a fractal thing - ever expanding and ever contracting

both at once and the same time.

 

As one door shuts, another opens.

At the end of the out-breath, there is the in-breath.

For every death, there is a rebirth ..

 

Except ...

 

 

Learning for me is an evolutionary thing. Quite often, when I write

from the "Transpersonal Space" to the list - or to somewhere else -

there is something in what I write for me - perhaps something that

I have not yet put into words - perhaps another perspective from

which to view life.

 

 

One thing I have learned during my own Journey is NEVER to say

"I have completed all there is to complete of my own Psychology"

and/or "I know all there is to know" and/or "I am enlightened,

illuminated or spiritually evolved"

 

 

Firstly this is to say there is an end to the Universe.

Secondly, this is to say

"my life is complete and all that is left for me is death" ..

 

and ..

 

if neither of these apply, then your ego is doing a good job on you

and the very next lesson will be the Cosmic Joke -

 

the lesson of Humility.

 

You will either come down to earth with a very big jolt -

or you will have a great bout of depression

or you will conspire with yourself to ensure that your next

Transpersonal experience is waking up dead.

 

 

In the past we have "gurus, teachers and sages" who are quoted as

being the definitive authority on the subject of "Enlightenment".

 

There are not too many of them that are still alive in the Physical

body - in fact, when you have a good look at who they are and their

life story, most have given up the body, for one reason or other,

very shortly after their greatest period of illumination.

 

That's the ego for you.

 

 

With the flow of the Tao - the simultaneously fractally evolving

and involuting Universe - how can one possibly imagine that one can

possibly know all there is to know - and say their "illumination"

(or their psychology) is complete.

 

 

If your illumination (or your psychology) has been the purpose of

your life's living experience - if be-ing is all the "be-all and

end-all" objective, then what you will become is a very bright

vegetable existing in a self-induced mesmeristic or stuporific

delusion the pseudo spiritual like to call "Blissed out"

 

 

There are plenty of stories about the bodies who exist in this

state in the caves of the Himalayas - and in some of the Ashrams

and Monasteries.

 

There are even a few Psychologists (including the Transpersonal

ones) who claim they know all there is to know - until they have a

nervous breakdown because the nerves that tried to maintain that

illusion of grandeur finally gave up the ghost.

 

 

quite often because (and the picture I get is) they walk round

with their heads up their own backsides - thus becoming very

constipated .. and ..

without a properly functioning anal sphincter, the brain dies ..

 

This of course, is the ultimate "no-mind" experience.

 

 

NOTHING is ever complete -

 

and just to confuse some of you, there is no path that lead to any

destination apart from death - with a subsequent re-birth in some

other state which depends on your attachment to the regrets of your

past experience of what you once thought was your life.

 

 

What do you envision for yourself?

 

 

Do you have a purpose - or an end goal in what you are trying to

achieve? If so, you will, one day, eventually fulfil that purpose -

until there is nothing left.

 

Or - is your definition of being - one of continually living life

as an experience of the moment - without attachment - allowing the

flow of the Tao - the rise and fall of the tides - the in-breath

and the out-breath -

 

to flow through you - without attachment -

 

continually growing in the evolution

which is "Enlightenment" ..

 

 

This is the practical application of Transpersonal -

 

The Psychology

of ALL expressions of the Unified Field

that is Consciousness ..

 

 

Just remember -

shortly after the moment you

(your mind and your ego)

thinks you have done "it"

 

that there is nothing more left to "do"

 

IT will do you.

 

and you will become the embodiment of the Cosmic Joke

 

>From the Quaballa,

Enlightenment comes when the Crown meets the firmament

(or when Malkuth meets Keether}

>From Christopher Wynter,

Enlightenment comes when your third eye is at one with your turd

eye and you can see your own shit..

 

However, as Enlightenment is a cyclic thing - just like the Moon

and the Sun,

 

the moral of the story is ..

 

Don't let your head get stuck...
