From High Above We See Everything

This is reposted from my official Livejournal blog: Collective Transubstantiation

rows and flows of angel hair. up in the clouds. we can see them from below, but we can see them from above. we can see them from both sides. there is so much that we can do in this life, but clouds can get in your way. cloud illusions . they look like something else besides clouds, but all they do is block the sun, the light, the diamond light of pure Buddha nature. the come between us and this light. they obscure our view and from way down below, it sees like all there is in the sky is clouds. all they are is all we are is all we can become. life’s illusions i recall. that is the nature of reality. it’s all clouds. tears and fears and crying clouds.

when you live life for today something is lost and something is gained. you lose those things that your friends may recognize in you . that ego want. you lose your opinions and your “fight”, but look at what you gain. clarity. all we can know is that we don’t know anything. it’s all illusion. we can look at the clouds from both sides if we can tap into that diamond mind. that pure light. that is where we are returning. the bright light of consciousness. true consciousness of reality the way it really is, not the cloud illusions.

we can see anything we want up in those clouds, but what they really are . they really just block the sun. the light. clouds get in your way by trying to show you what the ego reality wants you to see, not what is actually there. you really don’t know clouds at all. or love or life.

what is love? is it fairy tales and dizzy dancing and moonbeams. no. it’s just another show that you leave and when you leave you leave them laughing. if you really care, don’t let them know. don’t give yourself away. it’s love's illusions that you recall and this is why you don’t know love. you only recall the illusions of love that are based on the ego mind's want. the horrible wanting to own to have. this is not love. this is attachment and you will leave them laughing when they go because it’s all a show,.

what is life? illusion, fantasy, clouds obscuring reality. what is it that we live daily. is it life? tears and fears and pride and ego and saying things with words. dreams schemes… is this life? no. when you get an inclining of what real life is your friends will see that you aren’t the same. there’s something won and something lost from living each day, each moment in the moment. with the banishment of ego you lose ego, desire, opinion, mindless struggle and pain based on ego wants. this you lose and to your friends, who still see only life and love and cloud illusions, they see you as different, but you’re looking from both sides now. both sides of the clouds. you’re looking from above. you see the sun, the light, the diamond mind. you see love as part of that light part of the whole. love has nothing to do with attachment or want or pretty pink feelings or the joy you feel or the touch of your lover. it’s about loving everyone, every living thing with the love of the Buddha.

if you care, don’t let them know, don’t give yourself away. hmm..the people you love may not see the sun, they may only see life’s illusions. if you care don’t tell them that the love you feel is Buddha's love. they won’t understand. they’ll think it’s rejection. don’t give yourself away. but now that you see the other side it’s just another show. just another display of ego, of peacocking feathers. don’t give yourself away. if you care about someone, don’t let them know that you are seeing it from the other side that love, this love or any ego love, is just an illusion because they won’t believe you. they won’t believe you and they’ll hate you. they’ll see your love as wrong. you love all things and not just them. Their ego will reject this and reject you. you can see love from both sides now, from give and take and when you go you’ll leave them laughing and crying because when you leave, when you die, their ego, their attachment will cause them pain, so much pain and unless you do your duty now you can’t free them from this pain. only they can free themselves by realized that love , ego attachment love, is an illusion that must be broken. if it’s not broken, then you’ll have a pain greater than physical pain. the pain of love and living with attachment ego attachment that has been broken. like a bone, a chain of bones.

you’re above the clouds you see that life is all illusion. life is not what you think it is at all. life is not cars and jobs and money or tears or fears or pride or words. life is not dreams or schemes . life from above, from the other side, you see that life is about right here right now. living this moment to it’s fullest and being right here and right now in this fucking moment here. right here. looking back all you’ll see in your memory are the illusions because this is all you’ve ever known and you’ll see that you know nothing at all. and looking back you’ll only see the illusions of the past and you’ll only be able to base today on the illusions of the past, but if you focus on the now, the right now, the this instant of right now, there is not past or future and there are no other illusions or memories of illusions. there is only the reality of now. life’s illusions I recall, I really don't know life at all. and do any of us? If we base our view of reality on knowledge or memories gained by illusion then no, we do not. We are basing our knowledge on illusion and this is like building a castle in the sand. one great wave can wash it away.
