Ending Confusion
Brian why is the world such a confusing place to live in?
The world is a very confusing place because deeply inwardly we are very confused. We are always worried about something and quick to make things into some sort of drama in order to maintain and hold an image of a person or situation. This however basically is to suit are own self interest. We believe that the way we see things is correct and true, and we refused to see that doubt and questioning is the path to truth.
This is what we have been conditioned to do is look at live through the process of images. We have been educated to have a self image and the poison of psychology informed us we must have a good self image.
What is the point of having an image of yourself? Does is not condition the brain to be hurt and hurt is not one of the human problems that darkens all of our life. Most human being are afraid to be hurt this is where we comfort ourselves in beliefs and identify with ideologies. These identifications and ideologies are humankind’s burden. Are these not the things that are the center of conflict and war? Each group is attached to there ways of believing, attachment to there particular idea, view point, and opinion.
We are so confused inside because we have been trained to look through comparison, and perhaps there is a different way of looking. To look with out comparison is to have no image at all of anything but just to see things as there are. This is not about choice, for choice comes into things and is one of the causes of confusion. When we see something that is dangerous we do not compare at all we simply respond to the danger. If you were crossing the road as a car came around the corner and jumped out of the way or when you hear a loud noise you jump that is direct perception. To perceive directly is to see without any screens of prejudice. It puts you in direct relationship with the things around you and that means that one is sensitive. That sensitivity is the lack of thought moving in the brain at the point of perception. When taking in information and one is thinking comparing looking for counter arguments one is not in relationship with the person at all and is fueling either conflict or conviction for ones self centered point of view. When we are self absorbed we are deeply confused. In that confusion lays the horrors of what people do to each other in the name of love and peace. Love is not a self centered movement, it forms no image of believe system of any kind. Love has no need to defend it’s self or any image to protect of pass on. Where there is self image love is not. Love is not what thought says love is as the word tree is not the tree. We all don’t know what love is but we know what it is not. One can never say I love you for self and love is two totally different things. Yet where there is relationship one is able to feel loves benediction through action.
