The energy of soul is a flickering light. The real source of beauty is not in the temporal dream.
Do you know the actual source of beauty?
Step outside the ‘Theatre’ and discover that the energy of soul is the flickering of light on a movie screen.
Have you told yourself enough self-reinforcing words to fill the universal theatre you, yourself created?
Get out of your theatre seat and walk confidently within the footsteps of the temporal dream.
“The concept of the ‘soul’ as the final essence is a temporal dream, and its energy the flickering light on a movie screen.”
When the ‘beauty’ we behold is understood to form under our Stetsons, we might question if the sentiment is borne of narcissism. Is reveling in beauty a reflection of thinking our jeans have the coolest embroidery?
Does the recognition have to be tragic?
It’s up to us whether we slather the realization in the sandwich spread of dualistic good or bad. It is what it is.
Where then is the real beauty? And why’s it useful to understand its potential for severe illusion? Indeed, our small-self has been created, conjured to sit in theatre seats and watch. Whether we participate and produce our own show is another matter.
Friends, it’s hard to take… but in the theater, the small-self ‘i’ is the very ugliness and beauty we perceive.
Now, sitting in your seat, imagine if we remove all ‘brain generated’ sounds, colors, shapes; what’s left but the underlying illusory-like waves called ‘energy’ (mere symptom of thoughts’ distinctions). You can’t have a movie with that! Envision grey vibrations all by their lonesome… without an observer to perceive - that’s why the Will creates. It’s also why the Will creates other Wills… to complete the dream and fill theaters.
The energy of soul is a reflection of perception in motion. The image speaks to the infinite amount of reflections we have, are, and will nourish. The ‘hat of mind’ covers the ‘face’ of the soul that isn’t one within a theater, while being simultaneously aware there’s an ‘outside’.
In this image, the character X’Tzu’s pose (from 11:11 El Luchador Gauntlet) represents the notion that all experience is of the temporal dream-like state. When the ‘hat of mind’ (represented in the image above) is no longer viewed as larger-self, the numerous reflections become clear.
In this place of perspective, along the carpeted isle runway lights, the actualized Will creates birth and death, and sees that which comes and goes as transient duality. The unattached will is liberated. Here, birth and death shrink in significance, flowers and colors are appreciated, then blown to dust. The moon loses its distance, the sun its light. And all the pictures and productions of grander Wills become as if they never were, washed away in their beautiful and ugly persuasions.
The gods of old and new, even the god of the torah cries, for they all know the essential nature, word, nazeur, tao is greater. Comprehending its own transient nature, even creation dies, because that which starts admits its end, having told itself enough self-reinforcing words to fill the universal theatre it itself created.
Once we’ve come to terms with no future or past – only here & now, then the present is viewed as a fractal projector. The present is where all creation originates… it’s the real source of beauty, comfort and discomfort.
At this moment we may be tricked by the word ‘now’ and be tempted to turn it into a snapshot. Our thought-bound contemplation asks, ‘Is the present a temporal aspect as well, albeit a less ‘illusory’ one?’
Look deeply into the actual source of beauty. The two fingers of duality seen here are accompanied by the metaphor of removing the ‘hat of mind’. Appreciating ‘outward’ beauty is really ‘you’ taking the time to appreciate the creator Wills and your prior consent to see it as such.
Some say that the place of ‘no mind’ is optimum. However, this state can be played with… provided the be-ing is aware of the process of creation and perception. Recognizing beauty, without understanding where it’s born, is a dance of acceptable narcissism.
Each soul infers ego; where ego from the Absolute view is neither good nor bad, right or wrong. The question is whether you can ego-whisper, without judgment, without the desire to ‘kill’ or completely remove it. For all distinctions require ‘ego’ to recognize.
