Walk sideways out of pain

[Guest guest]

It is the natural response to suffering to try to remove it. All entities do

this automatically.

 

Humans can "think about right and wrong", and thus ponder in that realm, but

when actually challenged, will always defend or toil as is natural.

 

For referrence, this issue is clearly delt with in Gita in this conclusive

way:

 

You cannot stop being what you were made to be, so your should not try, but

you should try to see your life as sacrifice for the Divine Center (some

think is impersonal, some think it's personal, Krishna, that not being

addressed here).

 

Otherwise, in non-Hindu modern psychology in the West, the same conclusion is

supported. In modern new age therapie/healing findings, the same conslusion

is supported.

 

So, we seem to see all humans who think about it alot, coming to the

conclusion that repression of natural tendency won't work for us.

 

If we are predisposed to a painful condition, we will naturally try to avoid

triggers that excite the pain. That is part of natural self preservation.

 

This process teaches us things about science, and science is knowledge, and

knowledge equals "ability to navigate complex environments correctly"

ultimately, and that is necessary to play in a complex place succesfully, so

the personalist Vedic Paradigm of a personal liberation gives this special

purpose, in that we are being trained to perform pastimes in complex personal

environments like this one or better, and we are needing to learn all about

what works and doesn't work in God's energies, in the Divine Energies, and

thus this world of learning is transitional, in flux, destructible, because

it isn't final, but rather a temporary training camp.

 

In fact, in physics, one can back off aways and see that, time being

relative, that time is in one sense a joke, that all our millions of lives

could therefore conceivably take place in a flash from a larger view, and

thus all this "suffering" we take so seriously, becomes a joke once you

emerge from that space of time in which we are currently, so you "graduate"

to a higher plane, and this is forgotten, thus it never happened, in one

sense. Just like when you are an older person, your childhood is a distant

memory.

 

Helpless as we are, it seems safe to assume such grand strategies are

possibly being done to us, seeing as we currently do not seem to be in

control of the master knobs controlling us. I myself have great distaste for

the fact that I'm in a body subject to old age and disease and death, but

there's not much I can about it at all. So it makes sense to see that there

is someone/something else in control.

 

They must have a reason, and a plan, a system, a way, and it's probably for a

cause or purpose, some plan. But we can't be sure why.

 

So, we're basically forced to learn to float ALONG WITH what is going on. And

again, that is what is supported in sastra and modern findings. Learning to

accept and coast with that which is, rather than with that which we dream of,

is more healthy and happy ultimately.

 

So yoga, learning to link with and merge with, what actually is, is the

chosen process of mental progress for humans by the wise.

 

Advancement in this game starts to render one mentally impervious to care

over that which is temporary. That's one of it's chief aims.

 

So the setup is one of "tough love". There is duality or balance built into

everything. As humans, we are above animals, but given the life or abilities

so it seems so that we can be imbalanced, excessive, etc., so as to learn to

take control over ourselves directly. Instead of being forced by nature, like

animals, we now get to direct the best of bodies, the human one, ourselves.

It's like being in Top Gun of soul training.

 

We can blow it and buy the farm, or succede and soar the heavens. It's an

opportunity. But to learn, we have to have these duality boundaries.

 

You see, maintainence, balance is what is divine. When you can mentally

freely cooperate as a unit within a subtly balanced system of play and life,

knowing how to not violate borders, and having learned to recognize

everything properly, you are ready and wholly willing from your own heart to

be pure in this way. This is liberation. That is the spiritual realm.

 

So on the way there, the mutable material energy provides play-clay for us to

practice and learn, as it functions just like real life, but it's a

simulator, with a massive forgiveness program built in called "forced death".

You have to die, but you are also therefore guaranteed perpetual forgiveness

for blowing it.

 

So the pain is part of the progress. The pain is the motivator for the gain.

It's all forgotten in the relativities of "time", and just as a parent knows

that the punishment will end, the lesson day will end, and gradually the

person will understand why they were schooled in the first place, similarly I

think the magic answer for all "pain", is that one day it will be your cause

of jokes and laughter with friends above.

 

Pain is a perception of loss of matter we don't own within a realm guaranteed

to receive full destruction. Therefore, pain is a grand illusion. But yes,

like all illusions here, we "feel" them directly and they "hurt", but again,

this is from a mind that is identifying with the body. The intellect can rise

above that, but it takes tremendous practice over time, again, we are only

perceiving over time for now, but that is so relative that it indeed isn't

really real. So growth spiritually is a linear experience of an event, but

the time it takes is an illusion, therefore deja vu is rampant, and

astrologers win.

 

Think of experiencing growth over time as a color smeared on an illusory time

line. It's actually a vertical event, being smeared across a horizontal

illusion. When you undo the illusion, you experience the vertical event

directly, and this is so astounding, you forget all about most everything

else, except you still have to deal with it, so your relationship to it

becomes tolerance, and death and disease fit right in there, so they serve to

confirm your liberation experience, and thus you welcome them, and they

increase your bliss of vertical living, rather than horizontal illusory pain.

 

In this way, the progressive vertical spiritualist ends up befriending

difficulties, for he knows, as when they line your path, you know you are

walking sideways correctly. It's cause for laughter at that point.

 

Only those attached to illusion fear the end of illusion.
