What is the point?

[Guest guest]

I had a question that hopefully some of you could help answer:

 

Do we have control over what we are seeing outside ourselves?

 

When I think of the teachings of Jesus and him saying, " You can do all these

things and more. " (referring to his miracles) it makes me think that we somehow

have control over what we are witnessing. That we can change things with our

minds. We can see a mountain we don't like and make it disappear just by

thinking it.

 

However, when I read some of Nisargatta's teachings, it comes across as being,

" there is nothing to learn, there is nothing to do, there is nothing to be, just

keep your eyes open and see. "

 

This way of thinking comes across as life being similar to a character in a

video game where no points are accumulated. The character doesn't need to kill

bad guys or collect coins or go to another level, etc. He can do whatever he

wants, explore new sites and sounds and people, etc.

 

Even more so, you aren't the one using the controller to play the character on

the screen, " someone " else is. You are simply sitting in front of the screen,

watching the character from his perspective (similar to first person shooter

games), you don't have the controller in your hands, and you " witness " all the

adventures that he goes on.

 

So what is your point of view on this? And please do not answer with a

non-answer. You know who you are. " The unborn cannot know the born " , " There is

no you, there is only the Absolute. " " There is nothing, yet everything " , etc.
