Well, I didn’t decapitate myself via train, which is neither fortunate or unfortunate, it just is. That’s what my life is now: neither positive or negative, really. Yea, yea, yea, I’m drinking more than I would cuz there is suck in my life in the complete absence of sucking and other things in my life, but this is what it’s like outside Samsara; it’s not a dual category that you invert into Nirvana. There’s this picture I link at some frequency:
And it’s not “precise” in what it shows, but to a layman of spirituality, this is a helpful diagram to begin piecing together the nature of complex categories. It’s not just inversion/demöbiation/etc, it’s an entire re-embodiment of perception through the intelligent response to Karma over time.
Y’know, enlightenment IS disentanglement from dependent causation. God’s an ouroboros of a special headphone cord (independent phenomenon) that grows other headphones as it complexifies the entanglements within itself, and you are one of these dependent phenomena headphones until you learn to liberate yourself from your entanglements to be your own independent phenomenon.
For this to happen, you cannot just tug and pull your way free through brute force. You have to finagle the specific entanglements that bind you, specifically. This is why years of homelessness was one of the best things that ever happened to me, as it was me following the whispers of God to be out there doing my spiritual work to free myself from those parts of my “self” that made me entitled.
I remember who I was, and the further back I go, the more revulsed I am by who I was, going back to childhood where my mom’s life insurance money was used to get a Jaguar to one up my even more narcissistic grandmother, and then my dad wondered why he only pulled gold diggers. Shit. It’s like what you put out is what you get in return.
Karma is actually real simple to understand. It IS the entanglement process. In the fourth jhana of meditation, you can perceive for yourself the symbols that you are receiving in a singular stream that you set your intention to entangle yourself with in each moment, and it is ONLY intention you control, and all you EXPERIENCE is a result of current and past Karma, just as the entanglements of the string of tokens you send an AI results in a specific set of tokens in return; your entanglements are the parameters that your consciousness will spawn from.
This is where I tell people who are naturally skeptical to do two things: meditate and give a buncha money to the homeless. These are two SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS you can do, to OBSERVE the procedural generation of your reality tunnel. I guarantee the type of person who scoffs at the word “Karma” totally does not do either of those things with about a 99.9% accuracy rating based on archetypal proliferation of the human character in this computer called Earth that is an illusion. I guarantee if one of them gave $100 to a homeless man in genuine good hearted compassion (meaning you’ll have to talk to them and be a good friend to discern if giving them $100 would help or hurt them in that moment), they would notice the equivalent energy coming back to them, assuming they don’t go full retard and actually practice mindfulness to see this in action, WHICH IS WHAT THE MEDITATION IS (partly) FOR!
I thought of writing this paragraph earlier, but I forgot. I’m in what’s known in Buddhism as “stream entry,” meaning I have an accurate but not yet precise understanding of Karma, and this allows me to correctly interpret how I should entangle myself to guarantee enlightenment within seven lifetimes, keeping in mind that we live multiple lifetimes in a single biological incarnation. The reason that will happen is for the same reason that knowing and applying the correct algorithm to solving a Rubik’s Cube will guarantee its solution in a maximum number of moves.
God keeps bring up “Eve” and “navigation” and “passage,” which leads me to talk about the I Ching. This highly valuable book is a reference for the cycles of symbols that we receive as they evolve through complexity in our topological matrix. These symbols are not linear nor truly cyclical, but rather proliferate in a fractal manner, and thus it is immensely useful as a divination tool as when you pick a random page and read, your intuition will piece together where the seams line up in the waxing n waning of symbols, meaning it’s descriptor system is highly defined and this causes similar symbology to be evoked in your brain, therefore you see “you” through a particular lens with specific facets, and this gives you insight into what you already know.
“know what you already know” can be useful!
Yes! That is a skill, developing the stereoscopy of one’s “self” to perceive the depth of forms within the mesh of entanglements that make that “self” what it is.
