Civilization’s missing link: Maya’s First LAW

[Guest guest]

Over five-thousand years ago sages around the Indus River in India

used meditation to study their thoughts. With this study they

Realized that the mind is what it thinks. They then studied their

dreams and compared them to the mortal-dream we call life and they

also Realized that it, life, was just another dream. They would call

this " other " dream, life, illusion, fiction, with the word " maya. "

 

When they compared their sleep-dreams to this maya they Realized

that if their sleep-dreams were " real " then their maya was ALWAYS

more unreal, or surreal.

 

From this study of thoughts they would hand down to us the study-

philosophy-theology of non-duality – the mind is what it thinks.

 

They would call this non-duality the not-two called Advaita. They

would also give us the long ago forgotten FIRST RULE or LAW OF MAYA.

 

MAYA'S FIRST LAW: If our sleep-dreams are real to the mind then

maya has to always be more-real, or SURREAL.

 

This first LAW of MAYA then gave them Maya's Second LAW.

The Second Law of MAYA. (This is the same as the Second Law of

Fiction): the further dreams/fictions get from Reality (Samadhi) the

more surreal they get.

-=-

More than anything else, this First Law of Maya should convince even

the most feeble minds that something is wrong with the " reality " of

the mortal-dream called life when it, maya, is always more surreal

than our sleep-dreams.

 

I mean who on earth could have dreams about opulence, greed,

technology, decadence and tyranny that FORCE the starving masses into

such hopeless desperation, starvation, disease and poverty that the

only way they can fight the GLUT of opulence, technology, decadence

and tyranny is by becoming suicide bombers.

 

I mean who could ever have a dream that is so surreal that TWO

planes fly into two buildings so they could IMPLODE ( " pull " ) three-

buildings; like the TWIN TOWERS plus WTC 7.

 

Watch the news: does anyone ever have dreams as surreal as what the

News routinely and systematically gives us for our maya?

 

There is a story that is now long forgotten. In this story the

Realization of this First Law of Maya actually catapulted a sage

into Samadhi that left no doubts about either this first nor its

second law of this fiction we call maya.
