Ham,
Ham said: "The "quietude" and "stillness" often
referred to by mystics is a description of the
contemplative mind of the individual. I don't think
this psychic state or condition can be applied to
Essence which is without conditions."
Quietness and stillness - here are some examples.
For Quietness: Look into the sky, What do you
hear? Is it quiet?
When your mind has no
particular thoughts, What is coming out of your mind?
Isn't the mind quiet? (For me, this quiet is more
stable in connecting with the universe than thoughts.
Thoughts are always changing and need education,
meanwhile when the thoughts are absent the quietness
coming from the mind allows for Everything in
Existence to flood the mind and we have a direct
experience of what is here.)
Look at the bark of a
tree, Isn't the bark quiet? Does it make a sound?
Listen to a blade of
grass, does it make a sound? Isn't it quiet?
On and on and on....
For Stillness: When the wind does not blow,
does a leaf move? Isn't it still?
Does a blade of grass get
up and walk? Isn't it still?
No matter how many parts
of existence there is, Essence is present, it is
everywhere, even when a deer runs, Essence is Still
the deer, Essence is Still the pond. Essence keeps
its' place as everything. Nothing but Essence Always
and Forever. Even when things move, Essence is
Moving, yet, Essence is Still here as the things that
move.
As to Essence having no Conditions, thus, no
distinctions, even distinctions of Stillness and
Action, conditions such as Essence being 'Still Here',
therefore seemingly not moving from place to place,
because to move from place to place implies a place
outside of Essence where Essence moves to. Thus,
Essence as Still as the blackness of spacetime that
seemingly does not move but stars, comets, and planets
do move through it. Yet, spacetime is existence and
therefore is not Essence Totally, thus, this is even a
better argument for Stillness, because without time or
events, all is perfectly Still. Yet, I definitely see
Action in the movement of birds, and Action of events
taking place in this existence, as well, and since
Essence is Everything thus Essence is Action as well.
When does Stillness and Action become distinct and
become conditions of Essence? Is it before Awareness
v. Otherness or after Awareness v. Otherness? I could
try to think about that, but I only wanted to point
out how Stillness and Quietness are not only in my
skull.
As to morals, I made this point long ago. How
can we as a society make anything up that does not
exist outside of ourselves? Even superman is just
bits and pieces of others things put together in
another way that becomes a comic book hero. So what
or where are the bits and pieces coming from that we
as society put together to get what we call morals, as
relative as they might be from society to society?
Since all societies have taboos and norms does that
mean their is an essence of morals that exists and we
as people tap into these conditions that teach us low
and high quality experiences that we begin to value
and not value and therefore would call Morals to
living a healthy or unhealthy existence? Since
Essence is everything then Morals are Essence too.
What do you think?
