hey group,
here are just some ponderings about concepts that i felt might be worth
sharing...enjoy :)
concepts are creative, they are the formless substance out of which matter
manifests into form. concepts are what dreams are made of. concepts are
like templates or blueprints around which light organizes into intelligent
patterns where knowledge of self can be explored. the life that i am living
right now as an individual focus of consciousness is a concept, it is the
concept of being finite, of having a beginning and an end. i am a concept,
i am an idea, i am a thought but yet i am also the one who conceives of all
concepts, the designer that invents all ideas, the creator that generates
all thoughts of creation. what is the ultimate concept but the concept of
absolute truth itself? what is truth but another word for reality? what is
true is the same question as what is real?
truth is reality; i am guessing that most anyone will agree with that broad
statement. the openness and simplicity of that statement however begs us to
seek for a more meaningful answer with the more generalized question of,
?what does it mean to be real?? perhaps pinnochio knows best but i think
that we would all like to imagine reality as being that which is permanent,
that which is untouched by creation and destruction, that which cannot be
threatened or changed, that which does not come and go, that which
transcends life and death, that which is beyond time and space.
what is it that meets all of those conditions? nothing meets those
conditions for reality is unconditional. reality is open, clear and free of
all limitations. reality is whole, total, and perfect without question.
every concept places a condition on reality, even so there are less
distorted concepts than others and so concepts do have their place in the
process of the evolution of consciousness. we evolve and grow through our
understanding of concepts, always seeking a less distorted and more
unadulterated level of truth. the concepts of infinity and eternity are
about as close as we can come with words to that which the truth is. the
constant seeking to understand the concepts of infinity and eternity will
bring you to the razor?s edge of truth, from which you must make the final
leap of faith alone where you surrender all concepts and return to the
source of the conceptless ground of your being.
from our own individualized perspectives all truth is relative and by
relative i mean that it is merely conceptual. absolute truth is
non-conceptual for no concept can convey the supreme intelligence of
infinity. we are the concept of free will playing the game of manyness in
the silent and limitless potential of the all-pervading mind of god. the one
conceived of the concept of manyness from the unconceivable mystery and
non-conceptual beingness of unity and now we as many god alsos conceive of
the concept of oneness to bring us back home to the source. the funny thing
about the illusion is that we never really left the alpha for all concepts
are taking place within the omega of that which is always non-conceptual.
manyness can only be conceived within oneness and oneness can only be
conceived within manyness. being a concept how are we to coalesce back into
the conceptless? even the concept of oneness will not bring us to oneness
for as long as a concept remains we will be playing the game of free will
for all concepts are attached to that original concept which is a distortion
and illusion of that which is real and true. reality is behind, beyond and
within all concepts. the illusion is real if you allow it to be. live
beyond concepts and there will be no you to know or understand what reality
or truth is. be the truth, be the reality, be the inconceivable concept that
you already are.
peace,
mikey
