...但随着觉醒开始,这整个世界开始倒塌。好像我们失去我们所熟知的那个世界,我们失去我们所熟知的整个自我感觉。在那个时刻,无论那个时刻只是一瞥,或那个时刻是更长久,在那个时刻我们突然意外清晰地认识到,我们所是的是不可能局限于我们对我们是谁的想法。实际很难定义我们在这些觉醒时刻所认识到的自己是什么。
许多人以多种形式描述它。有些醒悟认识到他们是意识本身。有些会说他们是觉察本身。我经常说你醒来并认识到你是灵,而且万物及存在本身也是灵。但随着每个这样的描述,大脑构造出另一个形象。大脑构造出另一个这最终真理一定是什么的主意。一旦这些形象被构造出来,它们就再次歪曲感知本身。
所以其实确切描述实际存在的真实本性真的不可能,只能说它完全不是我们想的它是什么。它不是我们所被教的它是什么。当然,我们自己不是我们能够想象自己是的任何东西,因为我们所是的根本超出我们的想象,我们所是的是那个观察的主体,观察我们假装是分离的个人,分离的存在。我们所是的贯穿于我们所有的经历。我们真的所是的是每个时候,每个时刻,每个经历时都醒着的那个。在觉醒中,显露给我们的是我们不是个物或人,或一个实体,我们所是的演示为万物,所有经历,所有性格。我们是那个把全世界梦想到存在的主体。
从受制于传统观念的大脑,带着传统的想法,这种注解是幻想式的。它似乎几乎完全不合情理。对这样一个大脑,你不可能让这样一个大脑相信:或许他们所感知的完全取决于他们的想法,因为一个人体中的人脑很像一个电脑。我们都知道基于虚拟现实的电脑游戏,这就意味着你编的电脑程序构造出一个完整的世界。然后如果你在游戏中,你去那个世界玩那个游戏。那个世界有一定的规定,规定如何可行,如何不行,事情如何发生,事情如何不发生,那个世界的目标是什么,那个世界的目的是什么,那个世界的意义是什么,但那整个世界是个虚拟的现实。
同样,作为人类,我们被编程,这叫做我们的后天影响,或在东方,他们可能叫它因果报应。这种受后天的影响就是我们的系统被编程,我们的大脑被编程,我们的身体被编程,我们的感官和我们的感知也完全被编程,那种编程的部分构造出一个虚拟现实。它构造出我们倾向于看到和感知到的世界。它肯定构造出我们关于我们所看到和感知到的解释。
如此可悲的是,大多数人,人类绝大部分一生都活在一个虚拟的现实中。他们一生都基本活在他们自己想象而来的现实中。他们会想世界是好的,或世界是坏的,或人们应该这样,或人们应该那样,或某事不该发生,以及我们大脑评判世界以及谴责世界的各种方式,指责别人,抓住它,推开它,我们的大脑陷入二元想法如爱,恨,气愤,嫉妒,推,拉的所有方式,大脑被擒及被固定的所有这些方式,不只是头脑上的固定,不只是思想,但这些思想及信念又上升为感知。它们使我们看事物的方式带有颜色。
这样很快在我们成长过程中,我们被教会感知我们的自己为与其它分离的。我们被教给我们本质上和我们自己最深层的层面是与世界不同的,我们和世界是两个不同的东西,我们的邻居,我们的父母,我们的朋友,或甚至我们的猫狗都在本质上与我们不同。表面上,人与猫有明显不同,父母与孩子,母亲与女儿不同,表面上当然有不同,然而这些不同模糊了一个深层的现实,一个实际上让灵性渴求诞生的深层现实,因为这个深层现实总是在我们内心以一种直觉或渴望相连,合一,疗合这个想象出的分裂而运作着。
理解这个自己与他人,自己与世界的分裂纯属想象是很重要的。它被那样感知只因为我们的大脑被教给那样去感知。我们的思维路线让我们的感知有了颜色,但有时,有时刻,当这整个虚拟现实几乎裂缝,如同鸡蛋裂开,一缕光从裂缝摄入,在那时刻,意识对另外的东西敞开。如同我们的灵,或意识逃出这个虚拟的现实,虚拟的自己,虚拟的世界的虚假囚禁,即刻认知觉醒,或许更准确地说,记起,因为这就是灵性觉醒。它其实是记起...
...but with the dawning of the awakening, this whole world beginsto collapse. It's as if we lose the whole worldas we knew it, and we lose our whole sense of self as we knewit...and at that moment, whether that moment is just a glimpse orthat moment is something more sustained, at that moment we realizesuddenly and with incredible clarity that what we are is in no waylimited to who we thought we were and it's very difficult to defineactually what we realize ourself to be in these moments ofawakening. Many people describe it in manyways. Some would awaken to realize that they areawareness itself. Some would say that they areconsciousness itself. I often say you wake up andrealize that you are spirit...and all things and all beings arespirit as well. But with each of thesedescriptions, the mind creates another image. Themind creates another idea of what this ultimate truth or ultimatereality must be. And as soon as these images arecreated, they distort perception onceagain.
So in truth it's really impossible to describe exactly what thetrue nature of reality is, except to say it's not at all what wethink it is. It's not what we've been taught it is and certainly weourselves are nothing we could ever imagine ourselves to be becausewhat we are is literally beyond all imagination, what we are isthat which is watching, watching us pretending to be a separateperson, a separate being. What we are is thatwhich is continually partaking of all experience. What we really are is that which is awake to each and everyinstant, each and every moment, each and everyexperience. In awakening, what's revealed to usis that we are not a thing or a person, or an entity, that what we are is that which manifests as allthings, all experiences, all personalities. Weare that which dreams the whole world intoexistence.
From a mind held in a conventional view, with conventional ideas,this sort of notion is fanciful. It almost seemscompletely unreasonable and to such a mind, you can never convincesuch a mind that maybe what they perceive is literally beingdictated by what they think because a human mind in a human body isvery much like a computer. We all know there'scomputer games that are based on virtual reality, which means youprogrammed the computer that literally creates a whole world...andthen if you are in the game, you go and you play the game in thatworld and that world has certain rules of howit's run and how it's not run, how things happen and how they don'thappen, and what the goals of that world are, what the purpose ofthat world is, and what meaning of that world is, but that wholeworld is a virtual reality.
And in the same way, as human beings we get programmed, this iscalled our conditioning, or in the East, they might call it ourkarma, and this conditioning is literally that our systems areprogrammed, our minds are programmed, our bodies are programed, oursenses and our perceptions are literally programmed, and part ofthat programing creates a virtual reality. Itliterally creates the world that we tend to see and perceive and itcertainly creates the interpretation we make about what we see andwhat we perceive.
And so sadly most people, the vast majority of humanity will livetheir whole lives in a virtual reality. They'lllive their whole life basically from a reality that's created fromtheir own imagination. They will think the worldis good, or the world is bad, or people should be like this, orpeople shouldn't be like this, or such and such shouldn't havehappened and all the ways that our minds judge the world andcondemn the world, and point fingers and grasp at it and push itaway, all the ways that our mind gets caught in dualistic ideaslike love and hate and anger and jealousy and pushing and pulling,all these ways that the mind gets caught and fixated, are not onlymental fixations, are not only thoughts, but these thoughts andthese beliefs literally give rise to perceptions. They color the way we see things.
And so very quickly in our lives as we grow up, we're literallytaught to perceive our self as being separate fromothers. We're taught that we are essentially andin the deepest realm of our self that we are different from theworld, that we and the world are two different things, that ourneighbour, our parent, our friend, or even our dog or our cat areessentially something other than what we are. Well, on the surface of things, there is an obvious differencebetween a human being and a cat, or a parent and a child, a motherand a daughter, on the surfaces of things, there are certainlydifferences and yet these differences obscure an underlyingreality, an underlying reality which is really what gives birth tothe spiritual longing because this underlying reality alwaysfunctions within us of an intuition or longing for connectivity,for union, to heal this imaginary split.
It's very important to understand that this split between oneselfand others, oneself and the world, is purelyimaginary. It's being perceived only because ourminds have been taught to perceive that way. Ourthinking along lines in which colors our perception but there aretimes, there are moments, when this whole virtual reality almostcracks, like an egg cracking, and a light comes through that crack,and at that moment when consciousness opens to somethingelse. It's as if our spirit, our consciousnessescapes this false confinement of virtual reality, of a virtualself and a virtual world, and at once recognizes and awakens to, orperhaps more accurately, literally remembers because this is whatspiritual awakening is. It's really aremembering...
...但隨著覺醒開始,這整個世界開始倒塌。好像我們失去我們所熟知的那個世界,我們失去我們所熟知的整個自我感覺。在那個時刻,無論那個時刻隻是一瞥,或那個時刻是更長久,在那個時刻我們突然意外清晰地認識到,我們所是的是不可能局限於我們對我們是誰的想法。實際很難定義我們在這些覺醒時刻所認識到的自己是什麼。
許多人以多種形式描述它。有些醒悟認識到他們是意識本身。有些會說他們是覺察本身。我經常說你醒來並認識到你是靈,而且萬物及存在本身也是靈。但隨著每個這樣的描述,大腦構造出另一個形象。大腦構造出另一個這最終真理一定是什麼的主意。一旦這些形象被構造出來,它們就再次歪曲感知本身。
所以其實確切描述實際存在的真實本性真的不可能,隻能說它完全不是我們想的它是什麼。它不是我們所被教的它是什麼。當然,我們自己不是我們能夠想象自己是的任何東西,因為我們所是的根本超出我們的想象,我們所是的是那個觀察的主體,觀察我們假裝是分離的個人,分離的存在。我們所是的貫穿於我們所有的經歷。我們真的所是的是每個時候,每個時刻,每個經歷時都醒著的那個。在覺醒中,顯露給我們的是我們不是個物或人,或一個實體,我們所是的演示為萬物,所有經歷,所有性格。我們是那個把全世界夢想到存在的主體。
從受制於傳統觀念的大腦,帶著傳統的想法,這種注解是幻想式的。它似乎幾乎完全不合情理。對這樣一個大腦,你不可能讓這樣一個大腦相信:或許他們所感知的完全取決於他們的想法,因為一個人體中的人腦很像一個電腦。我們都知道基於虛擬現實的電腦游戲,這就意味著你編的電腦程序構造出一個完整的世界。然后如果你在游戲中,你去那個世界玩那個游戲。那個世界有一定的規定,規定如何可行,如何不行,事情如何發生,事情如何不發生,那個世界的目標是什麼,那個世界的目的是什麼,那個世界的意義是什麼,但那整個世界是個虛擬的現實。
同樣,作為人類,我們被編程,這叫做我們的后天影響,或在東方,他們可能叫它因果報應。這種受后天的影響就是我們的系統被編程,我們的大腦被編程,我們的身體被編程,我們的感官和我們的感知也完全被編程,那種編程的部分構造出一個虛擬現實。它構造出我們傾向於看到和感知到的世界。它肯定構造出我們關於我們所看到和感知到的解釋。
如此可悲的是,大多數人,人類絕大部分一生都活在一個虛擬的現實中。他們一生都基本活在他們自己想象而來的現實中。他們會想世界是好的,或世界是壞的,或人們應該這樣,或人們應該那樣,或某事不該發生,以及我們大腦評判世界以及譴責世界的各種方式,指責別人,抓住它,推開它,我們的大腦陷入二元想法如愛,恨,氣憤,嫉妒,推,拉的所有方式,大腦被擒及被固定的所有這些方式,不隻是頭腦上的固定,不隻是思想,但這些思想及信念又上升為感知。它們使我們看事物的方式帶有顏色。
這樣很快在我們成長過程中,我們被教會感知我們的自己為與其它分離的。我們被教給我們本質上和我們自己最深層的層面是與世界不同的,我們和世界是兩個不同的東西,我們的鄰居,我們的父母,我們的朋友,或甚至我們的貓狗都在本質上與我們不同。表面上,人與貓有明顯不同,父母與孩子,母親與女兒不同,表面上當然有不同,然而這些不同模糊了一個深層的現實,一個實際上讓靈性渴求誕生的深層現實,因為這個深層現實總是在我們內心以一種直覺或渴望相連,合一,療合這個想象出的分裂而運作著。
理解這個自己與他人,自己與世界的分裂純屬想象是很重要的。它被那樣感知隻因為我們的大腦被教給那樣去感知。我們的思維路線讓我們的感知有了顏色,但有時,有時刻,當這整個虛擬現實幾乎裂縫,如同雞蛋裂開,一縷光從裂縫攝入,在那時刻,意識對另外的東西敞開。如同我們的靈,或意識逃出這個虛擬的現實,虛擬的自己,虛擬的世界的虛假囚禁,即刻認知覺醒,或許更准確地說,記起,因為這就是靈性覺醒。它其實是記起..
