Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 What is, is. It will never be defined, stated or understood clearer. The argument is the argument. Break the argument and find enlightenment and the path that leads to liberation. Become the neutral aspect of the argument and find liberation then become liberation as an act of total freedom. The argument, which is defined here as the perpetual dynamic of yin and yang, is the argument. This argument may also be contained as the concept of pure truth and the concept of absolute meaning. Absolute truth therefore becomes pure truth with/and absolute meaning. To simply ‘see’ the argument does not mean it is easily broken, yet, in order for conscious awareness to evolve, it must be broken to escape the cycle of the ‘rebirth of consciousness’. Contrary to some theories, the ‘cycle of rebirth’ does not point to ‘physical existence’ which is an act ‘void’ of consciousness but rather, points to ‘conscious awareness’. Physical existence is not subject to re-birth as it is a result or an effect of the conscious ‘I Am’ becoming ‘aware’ of its own existence as ‘cause’ and the physicalness is ‘effect’. In other words, I am not this body yet this body is me or, more scripturally aligned, I am in this world but not of this world. One will break the argument to find enlightenment, defined as ‘awareness of existence’, from ‘within’, meaning wholeness unto ‘self’ and from ‘without’, where the whole ‘self’ is a quantity or fraction of the greater awareness of absolute oneness yet, because of relativity and position in ‘time and space’ and ‘physical existence’, amounts to nothing. Simply stated, your awareness is both ‘in’ and ‘of’ existence. Once one breaks the argument, the ‘dynamic’ of ‘conscious evolution’ is laid bare to be seen but is a pure experience/experiencer event and beyond any description in conceptual thought or words. ‘The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao’ is a good Taoist concept as an example here, but again this concept is misunderstood. In order to fully expand this misconception of Tao, I must first take a small tangent to show and define the three levels of truth. There are three levels of truth. There is absolute truth, statisically meaned truth, and individual truth. Absolute truth is ‘all’ that is and is not, thus ‘is’ in its’ essence. The mean truth is a collection of every thought, action, written or spoken word by man which, when symbology, myth, metaphor, superstition, culture, idividual circumstances and limitations of expression are filtered out, reveils the absolute ‘essence’ of truth which is meaning. Finally, there is individual truth which is a combination of everything that the individual knows with the understanding that all that is ‘known’ has been told or given to the individual by an ‘other’. This data is then compared against the individual’s experience to validate and reach individual truth which we shall define as ‘context’. Therefore, the Tao that can be experienced ‘is’ the ‘absolute’ Tao ‘in’ the ‘experience’ but is ‘exclusive’ to the experiencer as the event is subsequent to previous conscious development. Once the experiencer trys to express this experience of pure truth with absolute meaning, s/he can only relate it to the ‘other’ as an ‘impression’ of the original ‘expression’ of Tao. Further, because one is restricted to one’s own context or individual truth, the impression is filtered through the experiencer’s context ‘and’ the context of the ‘other’ thus totally distorting the pure, meaningful expression of Tao and its ‘eternal’ quality. Finally, one has the choice when to become the argument but as the neutral element which will lead to final liberation. A mountain, no mountain, then a mountain, is a classic, but not exclusive, Zen Buddhist idea of this dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscious awareness only evolves when subconscious awareness or inner truth isrevealed to the Self.
