Dreaming of more ‘permanent’ journeys?
Stepping into the Airstream, our imaginations go wild…
Or do they?
Inside, thought has a tattoo of a clock. The reflected light, microwaved popcorn, gravity of falling on our ass, and every trinket is an entranced and entertaining journey.
Here in our RV, we consider the origination of experience, examining sublime reality, both thrill and chill. Our embodied form floats upon the flood, dreaming of new and more permanent movies, playgrounds, landscapes, and carnivals to play.
Differing levels of awareness represent the vehicles brand, and perception of ‘body’ occurs within the playground. The temporary experience rests upon the axels of consent, with rear-view mirrors focusing attention upon the co-created fractal.
Yet, in the showroom mirror, the ‘human chassis’ is a tricked out Globetrotter® admiring its ultra-modern curves and pair o’ dice dangling. Perception has its mischievous boundaries as we roll the dice to discover paradise. Hand sliding across the aluminum hull, we feel a beginning and end. Yet touch lusts for more. So it is that awareness within 'embodied' forms is an epic trickster! That’s why looking through open windows, we adjust perception's limitation to reveal the road as the playground we drive.
Sitting in the drivers seat - the source of awareness, consciousness isn’t what it seems. Even at the RV sales lot, wisdom is the leisure suit telling us how to make the experience more agreeable. There's no right or wrong in getting leather seats, and going plush makes for a smoother drive. Regardless, growth has a curious tendency to occur through discomfort faster than its laid back cousin comfort… not that we need a nasty spring stabbing into our back the whole time.
This recognition is disagreeable to most drivers, including grannies and speedracers. We find compelling quotes and deep feeling images to help us forget the realization, as symbols and knowledge are almost always paths of having better dualistic soul experience - not ways to know our real spirit. Still, it’s all good, as there’s no deadline for awareness or self-realization. So when we’re ready to delete a belief system (like, all Fleetwoods suck), or reframe cherished attachments we feel ‘spiritual’ by no longer cleverly labeling them ‘faith’, we’re in the presence of choice. Replacing feel-good wisdom with unlearning and its discomfort isn’t for everyone!
Our smaller-self is the driver… one who questions ‘The best moment to step outside the vehicle’, and determines it to be ‘Whenever the Absolute-self chooses’. Attached to relative truths, remaining present to make this decision is difficult.
How do we know when this time is?
Well, whenever we do it!
The path to oneness appears quite different than we expect!
There’s no rush, no hurry for our awareness to be saved, no need to become a change-maker. Relaxing… time means no-thing. Our idle is constant in the knowing that smaller-self pulled by higher-state creates more things, times, experiences, memories, and change when it’s damn well ready!
Yet, we never know if there’s a tourist ready to drive from the parkland, or a bloodshot traveler eager to step from their trailer. That explorer may look like someone else, but it’s us… wearing different overalls. When diesel’s illicitly siphoned from our tank, it’s the price for radiating actuality into others RVs, and the consequence of knowing we're in a playground.
Having bumper stickers pronouncing our truths doesn’t brighten our journey. So, we peel them off.
Let’s head to the carwash now…
Oh… the things we do to polish our Airstreams!
Roll into the metaphors and terms;
Airstream/Trailers/RV/Recreational Vehicle - A metaphor for the physical and energetic ‘body’ that is sometimes identified as body and soul.
Showroom Mirror - A phrase that alludes to the experiences we have as being reflections of our consent, creation, and co-creation.
Human Chassis - A metaphor that envisions the ‘human body’ as a vehicle.
Globetrotter - A high-end Airstream model known for its modern, sleek look.
Pair of Dice - A play on the word ‘Paradise’, inferring the perception of which can discover if it continues to look. There a finite amount of dice rolls that can happen. Eventually, you find what you’re looking for.
Journey/Roadway/Road/Travels - Any combination in any order of any-thing or things including time, space, concepts, experiences, objects, distinctions, categories or sections of matter or energy that ‘exist’ solely as a symptom of the thought process.
Clock - The constructs and unexamined language and assumptions that imply that time is not created by thought. The ‘wristwatch’ is one of the most persistent illusory-like perceptions.
Trance/entranced - Used to indicate any-thing, or any thought, belief system, or perception that is symptom of small-self. We do not ascribe value or worth to such state, just varying levels of awareness that accompany its depth. The trance state is associated with word, spells, mind, ego, things, belief, thought-forms, egregores, god-forms, creation, and perception. The trance state occurs ‘every-where’; with the exception of no-mind, no-thought, and the present.
Flood - A metaphor alluding to the Absolute (see def) and the essential nature (see def). Also referred to by ‘Torrent’. All of these descriptions do not mutually arise, nor do they have polar equivalents. This metaphor is used as a metaphor for the Tao, the Flow, and Groove.
Playground - The term used to describe the optimal experience of duality. This is the ‘place’ and ‘vantage’ of having a mastery over the relative dualistic world, and walking in the peace of the ‘Absolute’.
Rearview mirrors - All interpretations of senses, as well as thought-forms (see def) including scientific theories, social conventions, religious and political dogmas, that we incorrectly perceive and believe to exist outside our own and others thought creation.
Windows - A metaphor of the field of perception that your own and others journey’s are perceived. The window is partially characterized by the ‘brain’ (process of observing) AND the temporal energy which the brain subjectively interprets into its own ‘reality’. Same as ‘windshield’.
Driver - A term that alludes to the ‘Soul’, defined here as the temporal energy body component of the temporal matter body. A false dichotomy term used to imply a ‘spiritual’ side of the ‘body’ when in fact both are constructions of thought (not necessarily created by the human ‘brain’). See ‘Soul’ for more description.
Smaller-self - A term used as a literary device to indicate the transient perception of both the natural ego and the inflamed ego.
No-thing - A term that signifies the word is actually a compound statement. In this case, ‘nothing’ originally refers to ‘no thing’ - where a ‘thing’ is defined as any experience, personality, concept, object, distinction, time, category or section of matter or energy, symbol (including letters and numbers), whether simple or complex that ‘exist’ solely as a symptom of the thought process.
Absolute - The ‘Absolute’ is placed in the context of ‘absolute and its subordinate relative’. This does not imply a dualistic relationship, as the ‘Absolute and relative’ are not mutually arising (see def). The vantage of the absolute transcends all suspension of disbelief when aware of the temporal (see def) concept of ‘mutual arising‘.
Actuality - Refers to the state of an observer whose perception is balanced by a knowing of the Absolute, or Tao Flow
Traveler - A term for a soul.
Tourist - refers to one who subscribes to one or more belief systems.
Overalls - An item of clothing that represents the aspects of the personality that are thought of as being the real you, but are nothing but symptoms of an experience.
Gas siphoned from truck - A metaphorical phrase which represents energy pulled from you by those souls who have made the choice to become deeply involved in duality, and embedded in the trance state.
Parkland - Represents the creation of yours and other Wills, including those perceived as Earth and Sun. It also infers a level of ‘consent to perceive’ from those souls that are experiencing it.
