An article of faith is merely an expression of my thoughts. This is certainly not definitive.
I believe that we live our lives based on beliefs. We, who live literally in a huge belief system. Fully integrated (in our world) are some faith that most people think they are natural and accepted without asking.
The act of reading this article, based on faith, because the very building that forms the head now and the spirit of conceptual thought. Perhaps what is real and not just as concepts are present, but it also exists in the online gaming experience. Although able to describe or conceive a truth is that the concept itself is a thought.
Beliefs can be very powerful, especially when the majority of the population buys into it. At one point a certain belief, if they start moving, causing catalytic reactions that trigger the formation of other beliefs. Little by little, live mud layers of beliefs and truth. If charged by the faith and away from the original spontaneity that life is unnecessarily complicated and ritualized deleted.
salient beliefs in our world:
Identification of the physical self with the body.
If, indeed, we are much more than that. This belief can be very difficult for UN-Ravel. And it takes many rounds of auto-discovery to realize our true nature. The implications of this belief is beyond what can be expressed in this article. I will leave it like that.
War.
War is the belief that, to justify an attack, others who are involved in large groups. The war itself is a belief, because the nature and animals, not to engage. Only people do that because it was conceived in the mind, and it is not important, natural or human conditions. Military is an offshoot of the war-wear
Money buys happiness.
The belief that the majority is true that money is a fortune. Happiness does not need money to meet those who believe that one of them, then! The concept of money put into motion the belief in the status of breeds competition, competition breeds of the rat race, rat race cause you slog to work a lifetime and, finally, some remembered the original meaning of life was the joy and fulfillment.
Statute.
A value of the person is dictated by factors such as financial wealth and rank. It creates a lot of suffering in hierarchical societies. This is closely linked with money buys happiness. ”
Perfectionism.
It is a common belief in our civilization. Everywhere in this world of ours, perfectionism is seen as imperfection is bad. Everyone wants everyone to be perfect. Perfection is a true absolute value? I do not think so.
In my opinion, it is relative and depends on the design. Perfection is one idea. Things are as they are. Perfection and imperfection are attached to values.
Country.
The concept of country is a belief in the possession of land. In essence, the man has not made the country so that nobody. Patriotism is an offshoot of the philosophy of “the land taken.” When there is no country and no war, there are no requirements of patriotism.
Well, I think I hit enough. Thank you for reading
Many people have the idea that enlightenment is a state. Many think that when it is reached, one person is always in this state.
What follows is not a definitive article on this subject. It is only an expression of my own thoughts.
My opinion is that enlightenment is not only a state but a progressive and gradual creation of states of consciousness.
I myself have not reached the end of the road. But years on a spiritual quest, I can say that enlightenment occurs in a series or stages of self-achievement and self-discovery.
Usually there is a difference between an awareness of initial and subsequent stabilization of this stage, what happens in practice or experience. The original clocks were new discoveries about the dynamics of consciousness, while the stabilization is the assimilation of what is found in life experience. Sometimes a completely new discovery may rule more or amend an earlier version on.
Almost all stages of enlightenment can be regarded as associated with the presence. However, the presence is illuminating to varying degrees of intensity and clarity. The degree of intensity is directly dependent on the depth and clarity of sound, and its structures / discoveries.
Then, as one progresses along the connection or connections to the universe itself and existence as a whole is becoming clearer.
The following briefly illustrates the progressive nature and the basic stage of enlightenment:
When you first begin meditation, we can first experience the ubiquitous presence. This presence is known when the thoughts are often temporarily suspended. This presence that exists in the eternal present moment is our true self.
However, in such an experience can not be classified as an awakening to the true independence .. which is non-self. Because, after meditation, the presence seems to have disappeared. Unable to understand and find the connection of the presence in our daily lives. Therefore, we will have trouble re-acquiring the Presence. And it takes many steps and a series of achievements in understanding the relationship of the presence in the phenomenal world. We can say that the prolonged presence depends on the depth and implementation stages.
Thus, during the early stages, we can be confused with another state of pure presence. For example, you can fool ‘I am’ of the pure presence. This is because the thinking mind has created a mirror image of the pure presence. This reflection of the absolute is “I am”.
Usually, in order to pass through the “phase I AM”, the person must move to deeper understanding. These agreements can include realizing that his personality is not the doer. This step may take some time before the person realizes the illusion of division between subject and object. This step involves recognizing the hypnotic feel of the existence of an observer and the observed-being. This is where we begin to see through the illusory nature of our phenomenal world.
I can not comment on the steps before me as they are beyond me. Nevertheless, one can still see the above description that enlightenment is not so straight-forward, after all
For your necessary discernment. Thank you for reading.
