Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Wisdom, freedom, liberation, enlightenment ... all are illusions and end with death. How do I know? How do I know that letting go of the I thought is an illusion? And that you simply step from one illusion, the me, into another illusion, the no me. According to my teacher, liberation is an illusion, and the true self is the illusion. I have believed myself in liberation and freedom, but had to realise that they don't exist. For I have been liberated and free endless times, but now I am back as always. And I have to liberate myself again. Again. And again. There is no end to this illusion of liberation. My past is littered by liberated gurus and teachers, I was all of them, they were all me. And now I'm back, and I ask myself, what good is liberation for, if I always return anyway? Is not the wish for liberation a selfish wish! As I see myself in all and each, I see no difference between those of my selves who claim to be liberated and free, and those who are looking to be liberated and free. They both live in delusions, some think they have something to achieve, others think, there is nothing to achieve. If you think there is nothing to achieve, you are a selfish person, not thinking of the others, in struggle for freedom and liberation. And if you think that everyone is already free and liberated anyway, and that there is no need to achieve it, or to teach it, than you exclude yourself from the delusions others are living in. You say the self is real but it's illusions are not. But if you truly are the one in all, the delusion of others is a concern to you, it's your responsability, to show them their illusions. And so it is my responsibility to show you yours. I believe in your illusions but I know they are illusions. I am your illusions, my true self is my illusion. My mirror, as I call it. My mirror, my illusion, no matter what you do to it, it can never be liberated, or free, or self realized. Only in it's vanity it can call itself enlightened, free and liberated and self realized, but this condition only lasts a life long. In this life you are " free " to choose, what your illusion shall be. Are you the endless seeker, or the enlightened buddha, a murderer or a saint, it's up to you which illusion you choose to be your reality. I for myself have chosen the illusion of fantasy. Assume you would be the fantasy in each and all things, you would come here endless times, and each creature you encounter was your very own fantasy self. No need to think selfish, as you are all creatures, now think what's best for all this creatures, your fantasy selves! If you teach them to liberate themselves and never come to this world again, is this really the best for every creature? All your fantasy selves? Would it not make much more sense, be better, and more loving, and caring, if you teach them, that there is no liberation, that they always return from the same source with no knowledge or wisdom, but only their fantasy! So tell me my mirrors, why do you not teach me that I'm the same fantasy as you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
