True Self-Knowledge: Detached Self-Awareness Without Self

circle of Zen EnzoDetached self-awareness dissociated from known and unknown is true self-knowledge without the Self. Detached self-awareness is reflecting awareness dissociated from the known and unknown, without the Self or feeling of being inner self.

Self-Awareness Without the Self is Self-Knowledge

You are awareness, the ephemeral natural phenomenon of knowing, arising due to dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions including but not limited to processes of life, actions and effects of your actions.

As conditions of life mature and improve, awareness reflects and seems detached from known and unknown thus making you self-aware. Self-awareness is phenomenon of reflecting awareness detached from the known and unknown because there is no natural Self in reality.

Detached awareness which may also seem like awareness of being aware results into self-knowledge in form of self-awareness without the Self.

Through detached self-awareness due to true self knowledge, you can know correctly in the right context without getting influenced by the known or unknown. Awareness is natural phenomenon of knowing whereas the Self due to self-conception, self-ideation, feeling of being inner self due to association with artificial ideas like name, gender, relations, subliminal stress, class, caste, religion, nationality etc..

No Self

Like horizon, rainbow or brightness of light, all phenomena are impermanent and empty without constituent cause and conditions. This can be naturally known, verified, validated, proven, applied, demonstrated, and experienced by everyone.

The fact that you are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing due to your indispensable constituent cause and conditions, is as self-evident as the natural truth of pain, disease, old age and death. Whereas the idea of being independent inner eternal self that is judged by supreme creator & controller in the afterlife are poetic imaginations and big lies.

Life can neither be independent of it’s constituent conditions nor exist beyond disintegration of it’s constituent conditions. Life is ephemeral and empty. You cannot exist in any way without your indispensable constituent cause and conditions.

There is no eternal immortal independent inner self independent of it’s constituent cause and conditions. There is no real self based on self-conception, self-ideation or self-identification in form of name, relation, race, class, caste, religion, gender, nationality etc.. Due to self and belief in eternal inner-self, you may live and act self-ignorantly.

As self, you may live rigidly according to self-conception, self-identification or self-ideation disharmoniously and at odds with the reality of cause and conditions. As eternal inner self, you may not value life and waste this life in anticipation of after life.

Self and feeling of being inner self is due to association with known and unknown, whereas detached self-awareness is due to harmoniously integrated processes of life, knowing correctly in the right context, without feeling of being inner-self due to dissociation from known and unknown

Cause of Self-Ignorance is Hypnosis

Ignorance is not knowing correctly in the right context. Self-ignorance is due to self. Self is subliminal stress due to hypnosis through association with the unknown and unknown due to various reasons like survival, adaptation etc.. Maya is ancient Pali word also used for hypnosis.

You Get Hypnotized Due to Association

Hypnosis and de-hypnosis is natural part of growth and maturity just like bonding and weaning. Hypnosis is captivation of attention voluntarily and involuntarily or knowingly and unknowingly due to association with the known or unknown.

You get hypnotized due to association with known and unknown due to some reason, for example, needs, adaptation, desires, fears, aversions, attachments etc.. For example, you get hypnotized by your carers during infancy or you may get hypnotized by some ideology due to association with that ideology out of some kind of self-interest.

You may associate with known and unknown, get hypnotized and may not know correctly in the right context. You may forget that you have been hypnotized, especially if you get hypnotized prematurely at an early age. Due to hypnosis, you may experience and hallucinate what is not there. For example, you may get hypnotized by the pomp and drama of society and give undue importance to it.

Hypnosis can make you ignorant and influence how you live, act and effect.

Self-Ignorance Due to Hypnosis

Due to hypnosis, you lose self-awareness and get hypnotized due to association with self and become self-ignorant.

Hypnotized by pomp and drama of society, you may hallucinate unreal ideas and believe them to be true. For example, you may get hypnotized by ideas and believe yourself to be of some religion, class, caste, race, gender, nationality etc., giving rise to self and self-ignorance. Due to such hypnosis and self-ignorance, you may deviate from your natural human nature to live and act according to artificially conceived self.

Hypnotized by the Self, you suffer from stress in form of inner-self. Due to hypnosis and self-ignorance, you may believe and hallucinate that you are eternal immortal inner self with past birth, next birth or after life independent of cause and conditions.

You may forget your infancy before formation of mind and self. Forgetfulness increases due to immaturity and stress. Due to forgetfulness, you may not remember that you got hypnotized in the process of adapting with society.

Due to forgetfulness, you may not get dehypnotized and continue to live and act ignorantly under hypnosis. Due to ignorance, you may not know correctly in the right context what is real from unreal, right from wrong, good from bad etc.

Right Meditation for True Self-Knowledge

Self-knowledge is one of the benefits of meditation.

Hypnosis and de-hypnosis is part of growth, maturity and development just like bonding and weaning is milestone in growth of infant. However, due to wrong growth, upbringing and lifestyle, you may never get dehypnotized and remain self-ignorant. You suffer due to ignorance.

You can truly know yourself through right meditation. Meditation dissociates you from known and unknown, relieves stress of association with known and unknown thus dispelling the self. Without self, you are no longer hypnotized by objects of self-interest.

Without hypnosis you are not self-ignorant, and you know yourself correctly in the right context. Free from self-ignorance, you become self-aware. Self-aware without self is true self-knowledge.

Self-aware, you are aware and detached from known and unknown. Aware and detached from known and unknown, you are not controlled by the effect of the known or unknown.

Meditation is practice of dehypnotizing yourself by withdrawing attention, calming the mind, relaxing the body and maintaining seamlessly clear detached self-awareness.

False Misleading Beliefs: Eternal Self and The Supreme Creator

Eternal immortal inner self subject to afterlife and judgement by the supreme creator and controller are false misleading ancient ideas that you may have to believe as part of society. Ideas of after life and supreme creator are primitive tricks used by authorities to manage society and masses.

The Feminine Inanimate Principle of Creation

Supreme or ultimate worth valuing in life is inanimate feminine principle, one of the myriad constituent cause and conditions of creation.

The supreme inanimate feminine principle in the story of creation is without any will or wish of any kind to create or to control, just like water which neither has will nor wish to create or sustain life.

This feminine principle in story of life and creation operates under the condition of sublime peace. The supreme worthy of praise is principle and not power. There is no one supreme power that can create or controller through will or wish.

Due to belief in imaginary ideas of supreme creator and after life based on artificial logic without correct knowledge, you may impose your beliefs on reality and try to fit reality into your beliefs thus making life difficult for yourself and for others.

Due to self-ignorance in form of belief in the eternal immortal inner self with its attributes in form of the Self, you may live and act in a rigid manner in conflict with the reality.

Questionable Ideas of Eternal Inner-Self and The Supreme Creator

Supreme creator is an artificial principle and not a real power. Supreme creator is an imaginary fictional idea just like elixir of ocean is imaginary fictional idea.

The supreme factor that is believed to create and control is yet to be found and proved or demonstrated. The only reason so many people believe in the idea of supreme creator and controller is fear or logical argument and not through personal knowledge that can be proved, demonstrated, applied, validated or verified.

The idea that earth is not flat, but round, has been proven and practically demonstrated by aviation technology and can be naturally inferred from rotundity of horizon. Even after thousands of years, we cannot validate, verify, investigate, prove, apply, demonstrate or know the reality of eternal immortal inner self or the supreme creator and controller. Individuals and societies get heavily invested in such imaginary untested ideas.

Such false Ideas have been believed for thousands of years but there has been no practical demonstration or application of those ideas even till now. Also, you cannot know, verify or validate those ideas naturally. However, such ideas have been used to influence and exploit masses in the real life by authorities for wealth and power.

Why There is No Eternal Inner-Self and The Supreme Creator

The idea of supreme creator and controller exist only in logical argument and collective belief. It is neither individual experience nor a proven fact. Idea of eternal independent inner self or soul is neither natural realizations nor real experience.

As we see in the nature and real life, everything is on account of their constituent cause and conditions without any inner agency independent of constituent cause and conditions.

If the ancient idea of eternal immortal inner self and the supreme creator was true, then every individual would know it naturally without the need for pomp and drama of society to uphold such ideas collectively.

If the idea of eternal immortal inner self or soul was true, then life forms would not struggle to survive and would willingly die in order to experience liberation and divine bliss of communion with the supreme creator.

No behavior or instincts of any natural life forms can demonstrate or can be mapped to existence of any supreme creator and controller. If a supreme factor created and controlled the life, then there is no need for humans or any life-form to struggle and suffer for survival against will of the supreme creator.

Then humans would instinctively give into injustice and leave it for the supreme creator to take care of justice rather than resisting it through revolutions, laws and judiciaries. Some societies believe in the reality of afterlife and final judgement but still expect justice and enforce laws in the society.

If supreme creator and controller is true idea then, birth defects should not be remedied because it is against the will of supreme creator and controller. Effect of natural disasters should not be remedied because it is will of supreme creator and controller. Such an idea of supreme creator is tyrannical.

If life is created and controlled by one supreme factor, then life forms will not evolve through goal seeking behaviors. The idea of supreme creator and supreme controller is not only false and misleading but also subversive to human evolution and progress.

Ephemeral Life and Irrelevance of The Supreme Creator.

The idea of the supreme creator is irrelevant because all life is ephemeral. As you know, all life forms along with their body, mind and spirit undergoes death, decay, disintegration, dispersion and get eternally recycled. The cause and conditions that constitute the known and unknown are impermanent.

The feeling of being inner self independent of cause and conditions is due to dynamic interaction of harmonious cause and conditions creating a pattern of the Self. There is no inner being or inner self that is eternally or immortality independent of life-processes. Spark of life is a phenomenon arising due to cause and conditions of universe. There is no independent soul that enter the womb to inhabit the person.

You do not exist independent of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions. Try to stop breathing and know it for yourself.

Since there is no eternal immortal independent inner self, the idea of after life and the supreme creator and control is irrelevant here or hereafter. Also, there is no the Supreme creator that creates or controls your existence. The word creation is a misnomer because there is no ultimate the Supreme creator or controller.

Life and the world follow laws and exceptions, that are universal and natural, including but not limited to the law of impermanence, balance, equilibrium, change etc.. to ultimately disintegrate, disperse, transform and recycle. No element in the phenomenon of life is beyond the law of impermanence.

Even if there was a supreme power that created, controlled or bestowed, she must be dead, disintegrated, dispersed and recycled by now. Hence, as classically said, “God is dead and humanity is free”.

Artificial wrong ideas like eternal immortal inner self, and supreme creator and controller are primitive ways of making sense of life and the world. It is due to your own point of view arising from desires, attachments and insecurities, that you try to make sense and give meaning to life and the world.

Belief and faith is a wrong way of thinking globally or fictionally in order to avoid stressful efforts of investigating the truth and reality.

Creator is One of The Insignificant Cause and Conditions.

Everything arises due to dynamic interaction of it’s constituent cause and conditions.

Person cannot exist without it’s indispensable constituent cause and conditions, but person can exist without idea or feeling of being inner self or inner soul as evident through the benefits of meditation.

So also, creation cannot exist without its dynamically interacting constituent cause and conditions but does exist due to multiple different constituent cause and conditions of which, the principle of creator may be one of the insignificant factors.

Occurrence of life and the world is a random accident that seem coherent and part of grand scheme within limits of time and space due to our psychological point of view due to our desires and aversions.

Spiritual Experience Is Due To Hypnosis and Stress Relief

“Spiritual experiences” are not due to communion with the supreme creator and controller.

Ideas of eternal immortal inner soul and supreme “creator and controller” exist in your mind due to hypnosis. It is not your natural experience just as you experience the natural processes and milestones of life. Due to hypnosis, you believe in such ideas and unsuccessfully try to live according to them but cannot apply such ideas naturally.

Ideas of eternal immortal inner self and the supreme creator are articulated, construed and spread artificially through language, mind, artificial media and falsehood. It is not a natural experience like pain, pleasure, strength weakness, old age, health, disease, death etc..

Spiritual experiences are due to your full realization of your peace and natural innocence through your growth, maturity, development, detachment and deep stress relief giving rise to limitless unrestricted, detached awareness, the liberated phenomenon of knowing without independent inner knower.

So called supernatural or divine or spiritual experience is nothing but realization of the natural fulfillment and natural innocence from your naturally fulfilled childhood or which was not realized due to various reasons including wrong birthing, wrong upbringing, trauma, chronic stress or forgetfulness.

Misleading Spiritual Beliefs

So called eternal immortal inner self or soul beyond process of life or the so called supreme “Creator and Controller” beyond cause and conditions are naive ideas created by the primitive societies.

Psychological structure based on wrong foundation of ideas is misleading. The ideas of supreme creator and eternal life can relieve momentary suffering by sedating you but not empowering you.

Belief and faith in wrong ideas can create unnecessary psychological burden and stress. History shows that humanity becomes hardheaded to live in sadistic and machoistic manner without sensitivity, empathy or compassion under the influence of such wrong ideas.

On the other hand, enlightened by the truth and reality that is clearly experienced, proved, applied or demonstrated, humanity has made great progress in improving themselves and the quality of their life. Faith and belief in false ideas is wrong foundation of philosophy and thought.

Faith and belief can create unconscious bias affecting decisions and actions. Ideas like eternal immortal inner self and supreme creator and controller can bias you unconsciously due to which you may devalue your present life and also negatively affect other’s lives.

Unreal ideas like eternal immortal “Soul” and God or Super-soul as “Supreme Creator and Controller” are misleading and subversive towards your natural values like life, freedom, health, wellness, justice, right to natural richness and unity in diversity.

Belief in the existence of so called supreme “Creator” and so called eternal “Self” related to the supreme “Creator” is a way of convincing you to sacrifice your natural human values in service of the so-called “Chief” acting as broker of so called supreme “Creator”. That “Chief” can be society, institution, personality, or any idea etc…Through such ideas and beliefs you are groomed to submit to the so called “Authority” for exploitation.

Due to such beliefs, you may ignorantly live and act under hypnosis by some artificial “Self-Image” with attributes like class, religion, race, caste, profession etc..

Forcing process of life to fit into such artificial ideas can give rise to stress and problems of unnecessary entitlements and incorrect attitudes like “higher-than-though”, “holier-than-though”, “greater than though” or “better than though” etc.

On the other hand, the universally supreme principle of nonattachment to impermanent life is the foundation of natural values like life, happiness, freedom, equality, justice, nature and unity in diversity.

At birth all humans are equally able because at birth all humans are helpless processes of life. Hence everyone should be treated equally because nature treats everyone equally.

Artificial Ideas Need Collective Belief

Eternal immortal “Inner self”, “after life” and the supreme creator and controller, are fantastic ideas that are artificially created and collectively believed by human society.

Self-serving institutions and their authorities try to place such false ideas irrationally above all other ideas that truly serve life in order to sedate the masses psychologically and deflect attention of masses away from their true welfare and empowerment. The Self based on association with name, religion, class, caste, culture, belief, nationality etc. is also one of such devices used to divide and rule masses.

Artificial ideas can neither exist without the artificial human society nor without collective human belief in them, unlike the fundamental natural realities of pleasure, pain, disease, old age or death which are naturally experienced and known by all life forms.

Eternally immortal inner self or the “Supreme Creator and Controller” are corrupt ideas irrelevant to life but invented for misleading humanity just like idea of “invisible clothes”.

Whereas the impermanence of life is the foundational reality of value of life and of the principle of equal regard for all life-forms based on the classic principle, “treat others in a way you would like yourself to be treated”.

self ignorance

Self-Ignorance and Myth of Eternal Inner Self

Self-delineation and self-conception giving rise to the Self and inner self is self-ignorance.

Self can be in many forms, for example, self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification in form of name, gender, relation, class, caste, race, religion, nationality, feeling of being inner self, etc. Self is stress of hypnosis due to association with known and unknown giving rise to self-ignorance.

Self-ignorantly, you may believe that you are eternal immortal inner self independent of constituent cause and conditions.

Inner-Self Is Stress

Life and actions according to self is rigid and in conflict with the reality. Inner-Self is stress arising due to association with known and unknown ideas about self.

Through association with known and unknown ideas about self, you get hypnotized and attached. You get hypnotized and attached to self-conceptions like race, gender, religion, caste, class, beliefs about self, ideas about self, etc.

An infant just born has no notion or sense of self till a certain age. Infant is a natural and nature is original. The notion and sense of self is developed later in life during growth in order to interact with the environment. Self is acutely conjured for meeting the demands of environment in order to survive and flourish but should disappear when not necessary.

However, due to wrong upbringing and unhealthy conditions, the sense or notion of self can become chronic and severe. Self is a rigidity and inner self is stress that is necessary to deal with life and society.

During the right practice of meditation, by relaxing your body and calming your mind, you will know that the hallucination of being inner self is due to stress and activities in mind. Through meditation you will be free from hypnosis due to self-image.

Fully aware, you can exist without inner self or the Self. You are neither inner self nor the Self. The Self is the result of self-conception, self-ideation, self-identities, inner self etc.. based on ideas about yourself.

You Are Phenomenon of Awareness.

Nature and natural richness is original. Naturally you are the result of dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions, including but not limited to your ancestors, your body, your processes of life, actions and effects of those actions, without which you cannot continue to exist in any way.

You are awareness, phenomenon of knowing arising due to your constituent cause and conditions without independent inner self. You become your actions and you continue in the effect of your actions. This is commonsense and as obvious as truth of earth, nature, pain, disease, old age and death. However, some cultures may ridiculously believe that life enters the womb rather than birthing from women.

Society Enforces Ideas of Eternal Inner Self

This hallucination of being an inner self, may seem real due to stress in the process of life and due to hypnosis by premature formation of “Self-Image” and self-conception.

You are prematurely or chronically hypnotized due to association with self-conception through artificial ideas and beliefs about who you are. This self-delineation divides you and gives rise to stress in form of inner-being or inner-self.

Society imposes eternal immortality to this feeling of being inner self. You get prematurely and chronically hypnotized by this idea of being independent eternal immortal inner self with after life or next birth.

Eternal reality of inner self” or inner being” or “Ego” or inner soul or inner spirit” etc.., independent of the process of life and actions, is a naive primitive idea sustained artificially by institutions of society and passed down from one generation to the next through cultural and customary beliefs.

For right or wrong reasons, society delineates self through its tangible and intangible institutions and instill you with different beliefs about existence of the Self with inner self independent of the natural constituent cause and conditions like process of life, actions and effect of actions.

At an early age, society imposes you with artificial ideas like class, caste, religion, race, nationality and unproven ideas like past life, next life, soul, ghosts, after life, rebirth, reincarnation, supreme Creator and controller etc.

If you are brought up in such society, the idea of distinct inner self or inner being may seem real, and you may live and act through self-ignorance according to your self-delineation.

You tend to accept the idea of reality of distinct inner self or inner being independent of conditions of life, if it is given to you by someone whom you trust, like or depend on, for example, parents. You tend to believe just because everyone believes and not because you know.

Inner “Self” is an Artificial Idea and Belief

Independent reality and existence of inner self beyond the process of life are concepts artificially created by society. You never try to fully investigate the reality of these concepts through right means or methods. You believe without trying to know their truth.

Eternal reality of immortal inner being or inner self is an idea not as naturally evident as reality of pain, old age, disease and death whether it is believed or not. Ideas of eternal immortal independent inner self need institutionalized collective human belief in order for such beliefs to exist in society.

You get hypnotized by many such artificial ideas due to your early life vulnerability, your dependence and trust on your care takers, lack of exposure to contrary alternative ideas and the artificial conditions conducive for hypnosis by such ideas. After you grow up, you forget that you are susceptible to hypnosis, and you continue to live under hypnosis by such ideas.

You are ephemeral. You eventually disintegrate, disperse and get endlessly recycled. You are neither eternal nor immortal. You are empty. Know this in deep meditation just as you consciously know pain and pleasure, youth and old age, birth and death.

You are Not the Artificial Self

The Self arise in association with known and known. Due to association, you identify yourself with known and unknown to live and act as if you are the Self. Feeling of being the inner Self is due to association with experiences whereas the Self is due to association with ideas.

The Self arises due to self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification, self-image etc. through association with ideas like status, name, gender, image, age, relationships, religion, class, caste, race, nationality, eternal inner self, supreme creator etc. The Self is an artificial character that you play as part of society.

Feeling of being the inner Self is due to association with experiences, including but not limited to experiences of body, mind, emotions, sense organs, vital force, mind etc. Neither the Self nor the inner Self are the truth of your nature because you do not exist independent of your constituent cause and conditions.

All ideas are artificial and hence the Self is artificially existing due to the collective. For example, religious Self cannot exist without the artificial pomp and drama acknowledged by the collective or the idea of being a leader cannot exist without the followers.

Being artificial as Self, you are rigid in the way you live and act. As the Self, you can conflict with the reality just like trying to live and act according to a mask can conflict you with the reality. The Self is a mask and not the real you.

The feeling of being inner self arises due to subliminal stress of association with experiences, external or internal. External experiences can be through sensations and sense organs whereas internal experiences can be through body, mind emotions vital forces etc.

The feeling of being inner self is self-consciousness. Just like constant consciousness of known and unknown is unhealthy, so also constant self-consciousness is unhealthy. For example, constant knee consciousness indicates disorder in knee. The Self or inner self independent of constituent cause and conditions is an unwholesome myth.

A healthy stress-free infant does not associate and hence neither has Self nor inner Self at the beginning of its life. Infant is wakeful and sensitive without the Self.

Infants develop the Self and inner Self by associating with known or known after a certain age as process of adapting to the demands of society. Self is artificial and personal just like a signature.

Spiritual Enlightenment is recognizing the forgotten truth of your nature through insight into self-awareness which was forgotten since infancy after the development of the Self while adapting to the society.

You Are Impermanent

You do not exist independent of your constituent cause and conditions, neither as awareness nor as the Self. You cease to exist with the death decay disintegration, dispersion and recycling of your constituent cause and conditions.

Just like milk discontinues to become yogurt and yogurt cannot continue to become milk, so also you discontinue with your death decay disintegration, dispersion and recycling. There is no rebirth or after life.

Though becoming self-aware beyond the Self may seem like deathlessness due to freedom from the Self, neither awareness nor the Self can continue after life or beyond death. Knowing the impermanence of life by being real, you live life authentically without getting attached.

Continuity After Death in the Effect of Intentional Actions

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to constituent cause and conditions, you become your actions and you continue after death in the effect of your intentional actions. This is naturally self-evident like pain, disease, old age or death.

You are effect of your own actions, whether tangible or intangible. For your own good, you should live in a right manner, act in a right manner and leave the right effect through your actions. However, due to self-ignorance, you may live in a wrong manner, you may perform wrong actions, and you may produce wrong effect through your actions.

Wrong Effect of Intentional Actions Due to Ignorance

Due to self-ignorance, you may believe yourself to be eternal immortal inner independent of cause and conditions. As inner self, you may believe in next birth or after life.

Eternal immortal reality of inner self or inner being independent of constituent cause and conditions is your hallucination and has no real existence except in your fantasy due to self-ignorance. The effects of your intentional actions are your continuity after life. You are born in the effect of your intentional actions.

Due to self-ignorance, you may live and act according to self-conception in the guise of self-ideation or self-identity which is not only artificial but may also be unreal.

Eternal immortal Inner-self independent of cause and conditions is self-ignorance and a misleading belief. Your life and actions based on self-ignorance can create a deceptive environment for yourself internally and externally.

Believing that you are eternally independent of cause and conditions will put in conflict with life and your environment. The effect of your conflicting life and actions will be your continuity.

Whereas, living with a detached disinterested awareness without inner-self, you will be cautious, sensitive and harmonious with the cause and conditions of life, knowing correctly in the right context.

You Continue in Your Effect

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to your indispensable constituent cause and conditions including processes of life. You become your action, and you attract the effect of your intentional action just like, as classically said, “calf attracted to its mother”. You create your environment through your actions and it’s effect.

For example, if you create a weapon for a wrong reason, it is more likely to end up in battlefield and get destroyed; however, if you plant a fruit tree for right reason, it is more likely to attract life. Right motives and right actions give rise to right effect and a right ecosystem.

You become your actions and you continue in the effect of your intentional actions in form of your children and your contribution to society, nature and universe.

The effects of your action will find its destiny just as water, air, earth, and heat find their destiny in the endless recycling of nature and universe. The way you live and act in the present will determine the future of the effects of your actions.

The way you live, act and effect, has to be right for you and for others. You have a choice to make regarding how to live, what actions to take and what effects to leave.

Impermanence Through Endless Recycling

But even the effect of actions is neither eternal nor permanent. Nothing is permanent. Everything dies or changes, disintegrates and gets endlessly recycled through the law of impermanence.

Just like a wave of water settles but its matter energy and process can continue as its effect into different new waves, so also you are continuation after death as the effect of different actions, and you will continue in the different effects of your actions. Nothing continues intact and nothing is permanent in the endless recycling of life, society, nature and universe.

Hence you should be detached to be happy in impermanence, act ethically and effect benevolently.

Individual actions and effect of those actions stay in the ecosystem of which they are a part. Hence society should encourage ethical life and actions.

deconstructing faith

Deconstructing Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs Through Knowledge and Experience

Belief and faith in ideas and philosophies which cannot be known correctly through experience and reason should be deconstructed.

Belief and faith can make you psychologically rigid and dependent. Due to belief and faith, you cannot think on your own for yourself. Permanently held belief and faith is mental slavery for life making you dependent and mentally enslaved.

Societies based on belief and faith in wrong or untrue ideas and philosophies become unstable and dysfunctional. Hence belief and faith should always be personal and should not supersede experience and reason.

Deconstructing blind faith and orthodox belief is possible by living through seamless clarity of detached awareness, knowing correctly in the right context as it is without associating or identifying yourself with the known and unknown.

Knowing personally, validation and verification is done through faculties of knowing. You know and understand your experiences through your natural or artificial faculties of knowing. Faith or belief in ideas is not knowledge because there is no personal knowledge, validation and verification involved.

You do not need faculties of knowing for faith and blind belief. For example, you do not need microscope to blindly believe in the idea that supreme creator creates epidemics. You need no personal experience in order to have faith or belief in ideas.

Experience should give rise to knowledge and understanding. Knowledge and understanding should arise from experience. Experience first, then know to understand.

To know and understand your experiences correctly, you need a detached seamlessly clear awareness, the matured phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context.

Difference Between Faith, Belief and Knowledge

Faith is living and acting according to philosophy based on set of ideas. Faith is always blind because it is not like trust established after knowing personally. You have to have faith because you do not know personally.

Faith is to rely on the unknown, for example God, or faith in astrologers or faith in owns destiny. You trust your parents because you know them personally; however, you have faith in politicians because you do not know them correctly.

Due to faith, you remain ignorant of the reality of cause and conditions that constitute life and the world. As a result, faith can eventually disappoint you if it does not fulfill your expectations.

Belief is to live and act upon an idea assuming that it is true. Belief is blind because it is not based on personal knowledge. You may believe in the ancient orthodox ideas of supreme creator or eternal soul and spend resources to please the imagined “supreme creator” for happiness in the fantastic afterlife rather than focus to improve the cause and conditions for your happiness in the present real life.

Knowledge is something that you know personally through experience, validation and verification through various means including but not limited to your physical sense organs, psychological sense organs like mind, memories, emotions or through science and technology. Knowledge is established to be true through evidence, application, demonstration or at least personal experience.

Right Knowledge Deconstructs Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs

Ideas are artificially created by humans for some practical reason. Ideas are psychological point of views in some context and they do not represent the complete reality. Ideas can eventually become outdated, irrelevant or useless.

You have faith and belief in the ideas and philosophies even if they are ancient, unproven or impractical. Faith and belief are not knowledge or experience of reality like knowledge and experience of pain, disease, old age and death which are true whether you believe them or not. To have blind faith and orthodox belief in ideas without knowledge and experiences is to deceive yourself knowingly.

You have faith and belief does not necessarily mean that you know, or you have the experience. Having faith or believing is not equivalent to knowing the truth or reality.

Knowledge on the other hand is to know the truth established through personal experience, experimentation, validation, verification, application or demonstration.

When you know, you need not believe. However, the knowledge has to be correct in the right context. Faith and belief established through knowing miracle without knowing the constituent cause and conditions of miracle is not correct knowledge. In order to know correctly, you need seamless clarity of awareness without associating with the know through faith or beliefs.

Rigidity and Burden Due to Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs

Faith and Beliefs are ideas or assumptions accepted to be true or untrue. Faith and belief can create unconscious bias affecting your decisions and actions.

Rigid Life and Actions Due to Blind Faith and Orthodox Belief

Due to faith and beliefs, you may live and act in a very rigid manner in order to confirm with your blind faith and orthodox belief rather than live and act harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions.

Your association with faith and beliefs gives rise to self-ignorance in form of the Self and inner self which can eclipses seamless clarity of awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context. Faith and beliefs are artificial, giving rise to artificial self in form of self-ideation, self-identification, self-conception, self-image, inner self etc.

Due to association with self, you live and act in a rigid manner according to self rather than live and act harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions.

Psychological Burden of Faith and Belief

Consciously you have faith and belief but deep inside you are ignorant. Faith and Beliefs contribute to your stress of ignorance rather than the wisdom of not knowing. Faith and belief add to psychological burden that is unnecessary while keeping you off-guard about truth and reality.

Faith and beliefs can wrongly influence the process of life and actions without your knowledge. For example, due to early life belief in god and his judgement, you may continue to live in fear and anxiety but not know the source of it. Such early life beliefs can influence the processes of life and growth at young age and impact physical and mental health in later life just like a poorly developed lamb due to forgotten fear of a tiger.

Early life beliefs can be forgotten but continue to stress the involuntary process of life. It is like accidently believing rope to be a snake and getting stressed over it or accidently believing rope and snake and remain gullible only to meet an accident unknowingly.

You are carrying many such forgotten faiths and beliefs that stress the process of your life by adding to your psychological burden. Reality of eternal immortal inner Self or inner Being is one of such beliefs affecting the process of your life and your actions.

Such beliefs can create unconscious bias due to which you may devalue present life. “Supreme Creator and Controller” as “God” or “Super-soul” is one of your faiths. Such faith can create unconscious bias which can negatively affect your sense of accountability, transparency, responsibility and social justice.

Why Do You Believe or Have Faith?

Many of your faiths and beliefs are not your conscious choice. You have faiths passed down to you in the early life before you knew to question. You may believe in ideas due to desires or lack of options.

In early life, since childhood, you get ideas and you believe in them through hypnosis, without your knowledge or expressed consent. For example, religious and cultural beliefs.

Most of the time you dwell in mind, living in a trance, neither fully asleep nor fully awake, neither fully relaxed nor fully alert.

In such a trans, especially during childhood before maturity and psychological independence, you are highly suggestible and vulnerable to hypnosis, you are also highly impressionable and vulnerable to conditioning due to delicate nervous system. The foundation of your life is laid on your habits, beliefs and attitudes formed during early life through your experiences and upbringing.

Early-life beliefs become part of your physiological and psychological conditioning. Your life gets controlled by your early life beliefs. Due to early life belief, you suffer from “bottle gives milk” syndrome.

You believe in the ideas if you like, depend, or trust the source of those ideas, for example parents, friends, teachers, charismatic personalities etc. You believe because everyone believes and not because you know.

You also adopt beliefs based on your experiences if you are too lazy to examine their truth and reality. For example, if you never saw cow giving milk, you may believe that dairy gives milk if you are too lazy to investigate the truth of this beliefs.

Belief is due to lack of knowledge and experience. You may believe without knowing. You may believe without empirical evidence obtained through right means and methods including experimentation, validation and verification based on understanding of empirical evidence.

Beliefs are not the universal reality or absolute truth. Nothing should be accepted as true without investigating into it by yourself on basis of experimentation, application, demonstration or empirical evidence or experience.

Rather than belief or leap of faith, have trust and leap of confidence based on experience, knowledge and understanding.

Deconstructing Faith Through Seamless Clarity of Awareness

Faith can be deconstructed by experiencing, knowing, validating and verifying the reality through your sense organs including mind. Reality should be known and validated and verified for it’s constituent cause and conditions at all levels in order to know it correctly in the right context as it is. You need seamless clarity of detached awareness dissociated from the known and unknown to know, validate and verify reality at all levels.

By being aware you know correctly in the right context as it is without associating with the known or unknow and without giving rise to the Self through association. Through seamless clarity of detached awareness, you are self-aware without the Self and you live life with a beginner’s mind like an original explorer without any crutches of faith or beliefs in ideas.

By being aware without associating with the known, you know and understand your experiences correctly in the right context through all the natural and artificial means. Such seamless clarity of awareness, the phenomenon of knowing as it is without activities in the mind or reacting to the known is necessary to deconstruct faith and learn to live without faiths or beliefs.

Right practice of meditation, that is not based on faith or belief, can help you to cultivate that seamless clarity of awareness necessary to deconstruct faith and live life authentically with a beginner’s mind like an original explorer.

Mindfulness Meditation Rules and Natural Practices.

Mindfulness is a natural instinct, and meditation is a natural process of life which can be experienced through natural instinctual practices. During mindfulness, you withdraw from all experiences and remain aware of one experience. Remaining constantly aware of one experience, you become mindful of yourself without the Self.

Awareness is phenomenon of knowing. Awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, becomes so pure through practice of mindfulness meditation that it reflects, and you become self-aware without the Self.

Mindfulness meditation is to remain aware without reacting tangibly or intangibly. Mindfulness is to experience fully with your full presence without getting drawn or lost in associating with experiences. Mindfulness is focusing attention naturally without getting engrossed or losing yourself in the experience.

When you experience mindfully, you outgrow the experiences, detach from experiences without getting drawn or lost into experiences. Detached from experiences, you are not controlled by effect of experiences. In the practice of mindfulness, you are detached from the past and fully in the present reality. Mindfulness meditation benefits you physically, psychologically and spiritually to make you better.

Mindfulness is a natural way of enjoying the actions and experiences. When you do something mindfully, you are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context without associating with the known, and you by default become your actions without inner self or inner doer.

Natural Rules for Practice of Mindfulness

No Mind Like an Infant

Ideally, mind should be calm and there should be no activity in the mind. A calm mind is no-mind. No mind is one of the factors of mindfulness. No mind with relax body eventually leads to no self and no inner self.

Without mind you know without associating, without associating there is no inner self to give psychological reaction. Knowing without psychological reaction or without inner self is pure awareness.

Empty Stomach

Practice 2 to 3 hours after a light meal. Meditating with a full stomach can make you sleepy and disturb process of digestion. Meditating with an empty stomach without feeling starved can help you to focus your attention and energies for mindfulness.

Fresh Natural Environment

Practice in a well-ventilated healthy environment. Fresh natural air is source of life energy necessary for improving the vital force. Polluted or stagnant air will make you feel lethargic and uneasy.

Natural Breathing Without Regulation

Breathing should be without deliberate regulation, natural according to clear awareness so that there is no inner doer and breathing should be constant so that respiration remains optimum for healing vital force.

Right Posture

Body should be relaxed but lower back should be straight. Straight lower back keeps the spinal canal well aligned and spinal impulse unhindered. A well aligned lower back spine will eventually optimally align the core and pelvic floor muscles. When outer body aligns the inner body also gets well aligned with the outer body.

In right natural posture for meditation, the level of knees should be below the level of lap and hips so that breathing can easily become diaphragmatic. With straight lower back and level of knees below the level of lap, the breathing can happen with full capacity and deep but less frequent, thus calming the mind effortlessly.

Natural Mindfulness Practices

Natural mindfulness practices make use of natural means and are based on no-mind or calm mind.

Mindfulness of Breath

Through mindfulness of breath, you remain constantly aware of each and every breath at entrance of your nostril so that you do not get opportunity to think or imagine anything. By remaining aware of breath without activities in the mind, you remain seamless and clearly aware, knowing without associating with the known or unknown. Eventually you can remain aware and detached without inner self. Breathing while remaining relaxed, aware and detached without inner self, you taste the natural pleasure of meditation.

Aware and detached without associating with known and unknown, you know correctly in the right context without getting controlled by the effects of known or unknown.

Mindfulness of Nature

Eyes are direct extension of your brain. Whatever you see directly affects your brain.

Breathe and fix your stare in chaotic pattern of wild vegetation, or clear sky, or waves of ocean in such a way that you remain aware but do not get any opportunity to think or imagine or react to what you are seeing. Chaotic patterns of wild nature through your eyes can sooth and rewire your brain.

With practice, you can detach from the experience of nature, disappear psychologically in the detached seamless clarity of awareness and learn to remain detached from any experience without getting drawn or lost into experiences.

You can also practice this exercise with your beloved partner by gazing into their eyes.

Mindfulness of Gap Between Consecutive Thoughts

Breathe into remaining aware of gap between two consecutive thoughts.

With practice, you can detach from the experience of gap between two consecutive thoughts, disappear psychologically in the detached seamless clarity of awareness and learn to remain detached from any experience without getting drawn or lost into experiences.

Mindfulness of a Single Sensation

Breathe while remaining conscious of any one single sensation without thinking or imagining anything while body is absolutely relaxed. Practice of this exercise through massage with your romantic partner can be a form of erotic Tantra meditation.

You can also walk mindfully with bare feet with full awareness of the sensation of ground. You can also eat mindfully with full awareness of taste while eating organic food. You can also smell mindfully with full awareness of smell while smelling a flower.

With practice, you can detach from the experience of the single sensation, disappear psychologically in the detached seamless clarity of awareness and learn to remain detached from any experience without getting drawn or lost into experiences.

Mindful Actions

Self in form of self-ideation, self-conception, self-identity, self-image, inner self etc. creates rigidity in life and actions. Inner self is an illusion due to which you cannot be wholly into action while remaining aware.

Without being inner self, you are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to your indispensable constituent cause and conditions, you involuntarily become your actions and continue in the effect of your actions.

Perform any action in such a way that you do not get any opportunity to think or imagine. For such refined action, you need to be well trained and practiced. Such action is spontaneously performed without striving due to right cause and in the right conditions. With practice, you can allow the action to happen involuntarily while you are fully aware and detached.

Disappear psychologically and involuntarily become the action by remaining aware and detached from action. Learn to remain detached from any experience without getting drawn or lost into experiences.

Mindful in Between Eyebrows

With closed eyes, without any activities in the mind, sit in a right posture and remain aware of each breath at the entrance of nostrils in such a way that you do not get any opportunity to think or imagine anything.

Do this until you become aware in between eyebrows. When you are seamlessly aware in between eyebrows, relax in that seamless clarity of awareness. If thoughts appear or attention wander, then again focus on breath at entrance of nostrils until you remain clear seamlessly aware in between eyebrows.

Mindfulness While Sleeping

While sleeping, stop looking at the darkness in front of closed eyes and stop becoming the looker of darkness in front of closed eyes. This practice will calm the mind and take you into deep conscious sleep that is deeply healing and you can actually know the natural pleasure of deep sleep.

Practice this meditation only while sleep and not during any other time. Stomach should not be very full at the time of sleeping.

Sleeping on the right side of body reduces pressure on the heart while sleeping on left side of the body can increase stress on the heart.

Sleeping on the right side can increase acidity if stomach is full of food while sleeping on the left side off the body aids easy digestion if stomach is full of food.

With regular practice you can go deep in meditation during which you disappear psychologically but remain fully aware without the Self or feeling of being inner self. Fully aware, you can detached from the known and unknown to become self-aware without the self or aware of being aware.

Spiritual Crisis Due to Premature Chronic Subliminal Stress

IcebergYour premature or chronic stress during early childhood can become subliminal and create spiritual crisis in your adulthood without your knowledge. Chronic or premature stress can subliminally eclipse your awareness or the ability to know correctly in the right context.

Infants and children should be cared by royalty and treated like valuables; however, not all societies and their cultures are designed for naturally rich upbringing of children.

Children, due to wrong conception, wrong birthing and wrong upbringing can suffer from subliminal stress and remain immature even in adulthood to depend on external agencies for their happiness and fulfillment.

Without their natural fulfillment and happiness, such humanity suffers from spiritual crisis and get attracted to wrong ideas through beliefs, faiths or devotions spread by self-serving institutions.

You Are Spiritual Phenomenon Susceptible to Unnatural Stress

As awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, you are a spirit of life. Spirit is a natural phenomenon arising due to dynamic interaction of its constituent cause and conditions. Spirit arises like a pattern from its cause and conditions just like brightness arises from dispersion of light produced by oil, wick and lamp.

Spirit does not mean eternal inner-self independent of constituent cause and conditions. There is no inner self independent of cause and conditions. Spirit does not create life just like brightness cannot create fire and fire cannot create lamp.

You are the natural spiritual phenomenon in form of wakefulness, consciousness and awareness arising due to constituent cause and conditions including your processes of life. Chronic or premature stress is unnatural and can negatively affect the processes of your life and hamper you spiritually.

Premature or chronic stress can be due to wrong conception, wrong birthing, wrong upbringing, wrong lifestyle or wrong beliefs.

Spiritual crisis is inability to known correctly in the right context what is real from the unreal or what is right from the wrong. Due to spiritual crisis, you may get controlled by the known and unknown or you may feel lack of control on your life, and you may lack natural fulfillment of life.

Chronic and premature stress is not natural. Premature and chronic stress can impact the individual psychologically, physiologically and spiritually in the later life.

On the other hand, a naturally rich upbringing during infancy enriches the process of life subliminally and prevents premature or chronic stress in infants. Naturally rich means spontaneously harmonious with the rich cause and conditions including but limited to good parenting and good environment.

Unnatural Stress During Infancy Becomes Subliminal

Infants experience stress and trauma, pain and pleasure more intensely than if they were adult. Stress and trauma have manifold impact on the delicate infantile processes of life.

Natural stress and trauma are acute, bearable and can get naturally healed. Infants get exposed to natural stress and trauma while interacting with their environment. Natural stress and trauma are part of life. Intense or chronic stress felt prematurely is not natural. Infants are not capable of handling any kind of intense and chronic stress or trauma.

Wrong birthing, lack of natural richness and wrong upbringing can create premature and chronic stress or trauma in the infantile process of life. For example, lack of affection, lack of bonding, feeling of insecurity, stressful environment, intense trauma, bullying, judging or curbing natural liberty of infants can stress them prematurely.

Physiology and springs of vital force in infants can shrink due to intense or chronic stress and trauma if periodic healing and nurturing is not available. This can restrict growth and natural fulfillment of infant.

Unnatural infantile stress can reflect in form of improper bone development, abnormal body mass index, excessive blinking of eyes, constant cranky behavior, attention deficit disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, skin disorders, oral thrush, constipation, difficulty in learning and judgment etc.

This unnatural premature chronic stress and trauma acquired during early life can remain subliminally dormant in the subconscious of individual throughout their life if not healed.

Spiritual Crisis in Adults Due to Self

Infantile stress and trauma can remain in the subconscious for long and affect their adult life.

Subliminally stressed and traumatized adults may lack natural fulfillment, natural self-regulation, natural acuity and may have to depend on artificial sources of happiness.

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, arising due to dynamic interaction of your indispensable constituent cause and conditions; however, due to subliminal stress, you may live life of self-ignorance due to hallucination of being inner self and hypnosis by the Self.

Subliminal stress gives rise to the Self and makes person self-conscious. Person lives and acts according to the Self through self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification, self-image, inner self etc. based on ideas like name, class, caste, gender, relation, race, nationality, eternal self, etc.., rather than harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions. Self makes a person rigid, unskillful and at conflict.

Subliminally stressed and traumatized adults may have obsession with the Self. Due to obsession with the Self, they may not remain impersonal and their values and priorities in life can get distorted. Such individuals can easily get swayed by vagaries and impulses of personality, whether their own or others. Obsession with the Self in forms like self-conception, self-ideation, self-identification, self-image, inner-self etc., can lead to wrong actions and wrong effects of those actions.

Subliminally stressed individuals may lack adequate sensitivity, awareness, compassion and self-regulation. Their mind may remain narrow, and philosophy, values and principles of their life may lack universality. Their understanding may not penetrate the greater context behind what is apparent.

Naturally rich life and therapies can heal the natural process of life. However, without right understanding and right living, therapies can only give quick but momentary symptomatic relief.

Without right understanding, therapies can only improve the Self and give momentary feeling of wellbeing but not the true natural self.

Effect of Subliminal Stress on Spiritual Health

Premature or chronic stress becomes subliminal. Subliminal stress can affect your spiritual health. Subliminal stress is not felt consciously but it affects your life and actions without your knowledge.

Due to premature stress in the early life, your physiology and processes of life are conditioned to function in stress mode and you become rigid physiologically and psychologically.

Due to psychological and physiological rigidity created by subliminal stress, you may lack psychological flexibility necessary for detached self-awareness without the Self. Thus, you can get overwhelmed and hypnotized by what you experience, including the experiences of mind.

Overwhelmed and hypnotized by experiences, you get psychologically glued experiences. Getting glued to experiences, you cannot known correctly in the right context what is right from wrong, real from unreal or good from bad. You get misled and controlled by effect of your known and unknown experiences.

Subliminal stress can affect your natural self-regulation, natural fulfillment, sensitivity and awareness, the function of knowing. This in turn can affect how you live, act and effect your environment.

Due to lack of natural uprightness and fulfillment, there is increased craving for happiness and dependence on external sources of happiness.

Sources of Subliminal Stress

Chronic or premature physiological repression and psychological burden from early life (there is no past life or past birth) can generate premature stress that remains as chronic, affecting your spiritual health.

You can suffer from premature physiological repression and psychological burden due to wrong birthing, wrong upbringing, unhealthy influences during the prenatal (post conception) and postnatal sensitive stages of development.

Toxic environment and unhealthy social conditions can also stress the individual chronically due to which they may experience a diminished quality of life experience.

Natural fulfillment, natural seamless clarity of awareness, natural self-mastery, instinctual natural righteousness, natural process of weaning from experiences and detachment all these natural milestones of matured life can become an exotic ideal in some societies with repressive and burdening culture.

Meditation Therapy can Improve Spiritual Health

Better spiritual health is one of the benefits of deep meditation through curing the effect of stress and trauma due to chronic physiological repression and psychological burden.

Physiological repression and psychological burden are complementary to each other. You unknowingly seek what confirms to your deeper state and you unknowingly give what you have deep within you.

Individual with repressed physiology can take upon psychological burden and psychologically burdened individual may allow themself to get physiologically repressed.

It is a present conjecture that physiological repression and psychological burden can get passed on from one generation to next through wrong cultural influences or in form of physiological memory if there is no periodic natural healing.

Learning meditation at retreats in nature and therapies like freedom from craving, loving kindness, gratefulness, yoga, vipassana, tantra, Zen, Qigong, Taichi, massage, mindfulness, tantra etc.. can heal and relieve subliminal stress.

Meditation therapies can improve natural process of life and restore psychological suppleness back to natural seamless clarity of awareness by calming the mind, relaxing body and balancing the vital force.

Seiza

Seiza: Best Posture for Meditation, Alertness and Gut Feeling

Seiza or Vajrasana is the best natural posture for meditation, alertness and a healthy gut feeling. In Seiza posture, the lower back is straight, knees are below lap, legs bent in the knees and breathing is effortlessly diaphragmatic.

Meditation is to relax as seamless clear awareness without inner self and the Self, alertness is absence of torpor and gut feeling is to know your feelings correctly in the right context.

Children tend to instinctively sit and relax in Seiza or Vajrasana posture on a soft surface while focusing on something interesting.

Sitting instinctively in Seiza posture during infancy and childhood can also improves focus of attention and alertness in the later life. However, sitting in a W posture and lotus posture for a long time is not good, especially for children’s core muscles and hip development.

Seiza or Vajrasana on a soft surface is best posture for meditation, alertness and development of Hara or the seat of gut feeling.

Healthy Hara for Natural Alertness and Gut Feeling

Hara is a Japanese term for a point in lower belly associated with gut feeling. Hara is in the lower belly somewhere below the navel.

Rich natural upbringing is necessary for healthy development of Hara and gut feeling. Hara can also be developed through exercise.

Well-developed pelvic floor and core muscles are necessary for healthy Hara and gut feeling.

Individual with healthy and well-developed Hara is naturally alert with healthy gut feeling.

Premature stress due to wrong birthing, wrong upbringing or chronic stress due to wrong lifestyle can affect natural alertness by affecting the Hara and diminishing the gut feeling.

A naturally alert individual is instinctively resistant to tendencies against their gut feeling that deviate from nature and natural uprightness.

A naturally alert individual develops subliminal resistance to anything that is not harmonious with their natural uprightness and gut feeling.

Naturally alert individual tends to live with awareness and sensitivity which is not learned but rather naturally instinctual. Through right meditation such individuals can become highly empathetic and compassionate.

With well-developed hara, you are fulfilled like healthy infant. You can remain like a calm center even if your life is in the cyclone of chaos. Though you will not cower, you will be humble.

From Hara to Head While Growing

Healthy baby is naturally relaxed, spinal cord is not depressed, and circulation of vital force is not hindered.

Baby is alert and sensitive. Alert and sensitive without self-conception or notion of the Self, breathing in a healthy baby happens diaphragmatically rather than thoracically. Breath can reach the belly.

During growth, natural processes of life must adapt with the increasing demands of society giving rise to the Self, the subliminal stress of association with known and unknown.

Due to premature or chronic stress of adaptation, process of life can function in stressful mode, breathing can become thoracic, development of hara can get affected and alertness with gut feeling can get diminished. The reliance on awareness, alertness and gut feeling decrease. The reliance on mind, emotions and inner self increases in order to adapt in the society.

Through meditation in the right posture, exercise and discipline, you can improve your alertness and gut feeling.

Seiza Posture or Vajrasana: For Alertness and Gut Feeling

SeizaSeiza or Vajrasana is best natural posture for practicing meditation and developing alertness with gut feeling without the Self. A child naturally tends to sit alert in Seiza or Vajrasana posture on a soft flat horizontal surface.

In Seiza posture you completely bend your knees with calf touching hamstrings and place yourself on a soft surface with buttocks supported on inner soles of your feet with level of knees comfortably below the level of lap. Level of knees should be below the level of lap so that lower back is comfortably straight.

In Seiza posture, you can easily breath using full lung capacity and your blood supply to your core and pelvic floor is maximum. In this posture, your testicles are naturally supported and prevented from hanging. This helps in natural relaxation of pelvic floor and core muscles without losing stability.

Sit stably and comfortably in a Seiza position on a horizontal soft carpet. After breathing for some time in the posture, your lower back will instinctively become straighter.

Keep your lower back straight and rest of the body without tension. Straight lower back is neutral, neither reclining forward nor backward. Keep lower back straight and arched comfortably inwards towards belly.

Keep knees comfortably bent and maintain distance between them in order to comfortably maintain a straight and inwardly arched neutral lower back without efforts.

When the lower back is straight, the Sacro-lumbar spine is naturally concave. When lower back is straight, the upper body is optimally aligned, lower belly is automatically relaxed without trying and breathing happens diaphragmatically without trying. Breathing becomes natural just like when you were a baby.

Your shoulders and neck should be tension-free and naturally relaxed with palms comfortably placed on upper thighs near to the belly. If the lower back is straight with shoulders and neck tension-free, then the upper body and belly can naturally relax.

Whatever the posture for meditation, your knees should not be above the level of your lap, and your bottom should be above the level of your feet. Knees should be comfortably bent. Testicles should not be hanging lose.

Do not wear anything like shoes or stockings in the feet so that your feet fingers remain unrestricted. Keep the heels comfortably near to Achilles tendon.

You can also practice Seiza posture on an appropriate bench that keeps legs maximally bent in the knees and well supported on the feet.

You can also sit in a Lotus posture on a firm yoga block of height equal to any of your hand fingers. Were proper inner garments so that testicles do not hang lose. Loosely hanging testicles prevent natural relaxation and stability of pelvic floor while sitting.

Relax But Stay Alert In the Posture

Seiza or Vajrasana posture is best for all different types of natural mindfulness meditations except while sleeping.

Rather than deliberately trying to relax in the posture, stay alert to avoid any kind of stress and tension in the body. This way relaxation is natural without falling asleep.

When there is no stress and tension, the body in Seiza posture is naturally relaxed and breathing is diaphragmatic rather than thoracic.

During the practice, keep your eyes open, closed or half closed and keep your attention fixed on a static point outside your body or on breath at the entrance of nostrils or in between eyebrows in such a way that you do not get opportunity to think.

Keeping eyes focused on a single point can easily reduce activities in mind and calm the mind. Constant awareness of breath at the entrance of nostrils can also keep you alert and your mind calm. Keeping attention fixed in between eyebrows can stop the activities in mind and help you to get detached from experiences including experiences of mind.

Without activities in the mind, you remain fully aware without the Self or feeling of being inner self. Fully aware, without activities in mind, feeling of being inner self disappears just like center disappears from circumference.

Fully aware without the Self, you know correctly in the right context without inner knower. Alertness and gut feeling is one of the benefits of meditation.

Caution While Relaxing

Belly should be relaxed without trying while lower back is straight. Do not relax the belly by deliberately distending it.

Do not relax your belly without keeping your lower back straight and your shoulders relaxed. Keeping belly relaxed along with a sagging lower back can depress the spine.

Do not get up immediately after the exercise because your core is completely relaxed. Just lie down for some time till your body is restored to natural firmness.

life is suffering

Life is Suffering due to Ignorance and Attachment

Way we live, act, and effect the world through our attitudes and responses determines whether we will be happy or suffer in life.

Ignorance is the root cause of suffering because due to ignorance we do not know correctly in the right context as it is. Without knowing correctly in the right context as it is we do not live and act harmoniously with the reality.

Ignorance is due to hypnosis and hypnosis can be due to different reasons including but not limited to unhealthy conception, unhealthy birthing, unhealthy upbringing, unhealthy environment and immaturity.

Due to self-ignorance and ignorance of life, you may desire, detest or get attached. Your desires, aversions and attachments due to ignorance can determine your attitudes and responses shaping how you live, act and effect in the world.

There is neither past birth nor supreme creator and controller to affect our life. We shape our life by our choices and by effecting our internal and external ecosystem.

Ignorance as The Root Cause of Suffering

Cause has to be real. Imaginary causes of suffering like fate, supreme creator and controller, planets in heaven, previous birth, past birth karma etc.… are not real.

Desires, aversions and attachments due to ignorance as the causes of suffering, are real and within the reach of individual to address.

Every individual has ability to become free from ignorance, desires, attachments and aversions in order to mitigate suffering, attain natural peace, happiness and fulfillment.

Ignorance can be in various forms like self-ignorance, ignorance about nature of experiences, ignorance about the world etc.

Self-ignorance can be due to the Self based on self-conception, self-ideation, inner-self, self-image etc. through association with ideas like name, gender, relation, class, caste religion, nationality, eternal self, etc.

Ignorance about life can be in form of hypnosis and illusions due to which you may get drawn and lost into pomp and drama of experiences without knowing correctly in the right context as it is.

Due to ignorance about the impermanent and changing nature of life and the world, you may get attached and suffer due to desires and aversions. Due to ignorance, you may live and act against the supreme law of change and impermanence.

Vicious Cycle of Suffering Through Desires, Attachments and Aversions.

Dependence on fulfillment of unnecessary desires, attachments and aversions for happiness is just like any other addiction. Process of fulfillment of desires, attachment and aversions in order to feel happy can get wired in the process of life.

Unnecessary desires, attachments and aversions, as long as you have them in any form, can create physiological repression and psychological burden, thus clenching the autonomous involuntary springs of your natural fulfillment.

If desires, attachments and aversions are fulfilled, you can feel the momentary pleasure but become more dependent on their fulfillment in order to feel happy.

Society exploits you by taking advantage of your unnecessary desires, attachments and aversions. Due to desires, attachments and aversions, you become victim of your own intelligence and fears like spider entangled in its own web.

If a desires, attachments and aversions are not fulfilled, you can develop negative emotions and energy blocks. Fulfillment of desires, attachment and aversions can create new problems and suffering through the chain reaction of cause and effect.

If you feel guilty for indulging and satisfying your desires, attachments and aversions, it can trigger more stress and make you more vulnerable to craving. Due to ignorance, you can get trapped into the vicious cycle of indulgence, avoidance, suffering and stress.

Unnecessary desires, unnecessary attachments and unnecessary aversions are futile because impermanence is the universally constant law that all has to follow. Nonattachment is key to happiness in the impermanence of life and changing world.

It is not worth spending one and only impermanent life suffering ignorantly due to unnecessary desires, unnecessary attachments and unnecessary aversions.

How to Dispel Ignorance and Shun Attachments

Self-Ignorance can be dispelled through practice of right meditation, cultivation of seamless clarity of detached self-awareness without the Self, recognizing the truth of your nature and living according to the truth of your nature i.e. without the Self or inner self.

You can protect and shield yourself from effect of ignorance by shunning negativities associated with the Self or inner self, for example subliminal stress of being inner self, association with the Self through ideas like name, gender, relations, class, caste, religion, nationality, community, eternal self, etc..

Dissociated from the Self without inner self, you are formless, non-grasping and detached like water, harmonious and well-adjusted with the reality.

Detached and self-aware without the Self, you do not grasp or get attached and you can stay aligned with greater scheme of life synchronous with the supreme law of impermanence.

Ignorance about the life and the world can be cured through practicing seamless clarity of detached awareness due to which you know correctly in the right context as it is. When you know correctly, you are free from the crutches of beliefs and misleading ideas. Without ignorance, you can relieve yourself from the entanglements of unnecessary desires, aversions and attachments.

You can shun attachments by living and acting in such a way that you enjoy life sustainably without getting attached. You can live and enjoy life sustainably without possessing or getting attached by not investing yourself too much in the life and the world.

Acknowledging and accepting change and impermanence, you will remain detached and not grasp at anything. You will remain unburdened and without regrets by letting go what is not worth grasping.

Dispelling ignorance will help you to live life free from unnecessary desires, aversion and attachments. Without ignorance, unnecessary desires, aversion and attachments you will be naturally happy, fulfilled and at peace.

Spiritual Tantra: Spiritual Awareness Through Orgasm

fingers touching each other.Tantra means technique, commonly associated with regaining naturally evolved awareness through sexual orgasm. Spiritual tantra is a technique of involuntarily weaving biological orgasm with seamlessly clear awareness without the Self. Tantra is “Awargasm”. For some tantra is a therapy, for some it is fun and for some it is prayer.

Undoing Repression Through Tantra for Spiritual Awareness

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing arising due to your constituent cause and conditions. Awareness is phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context as it is without the Self.

Spiritual awareness is detached awareness due to reflecting clear seamless awareness through which you can remain aware of being aware without inner self or the Self.

Spiritual does not mean supernatural. Spiritual means naturally rich. Spirit is phenomenon arising like a pattern due to dynamic interaction of harmoniously integrated constituent cause and conditions. Spiritual awareness is phenomenon of seamlessly clear detached awareness due to naturally rich cause and conditions of life.

You are awareness, the phenomenon of knowing, arising due to your indispensable constituent cause and conditions including processes of life. However, the processes of your life can get distorted due to wrong birthing, wrong upbringing and wrong lifestyle.

Unhealthy life processes cause subliminal stress that makes you feel as if you are inner self and obsess you with the Self. You may feel Self-conscious due to unhealthy processes of life. Due to the Self as a result of distorted processes of life, you may not be able to fully experience life or live harmoniously with the reality.

Biological sexuality is one of the processes of life that can get distorted due to wrong upbringing or wrong attitude to sexuality. Spiritual tantra undo sexual repression and heal the process of life thus giving rise to seamless clarity of detached awareness without the Self. Tantra is deepest healing for deepest stress and trauma.

Biological Orgasm Through Clear Seamless Awareness

Majority of humans cannot reach their natural potential for sexual orgasm and remain naturally unfulfilled. Human sexuality remains biological and fail to become spiritual meditation.

Human sexuality gets repressed in the confines of society due to subliminal stress in form of inner self and obsession with the Self. Due to repression, human sexuality is limited to arousal, dissipation and procreation.

Ordinary human sexual act is characterized by unawareness, tension and hurry, though it may be subtle. Sexual act may start with conscious relaxation but ends with tension, hurry and loss of self-regulation. Ordinarily, you get swayed and overwhelmed by sexual orgasm.

Ordinarily, sexual act is not oriented towards the present moment from start to end. It is oriented towards forthcoming pleasure, the scale of which is comparatively small.  Due to this, sexual orgasm fails to reach its full potential, you remain unfulfilled, and the possibility of meditation is lost.

Awareness can change the quality of all experiences. Sexuality is no exception to this. Seamlessly clear detached awareness without the Self can refine sexuality, unleash full spectrum of orgasm and turn sexuality from a momentary biological life process into a sublime art of meditation.

Clear seamless awareness can also increase your sensitivity and enhance the vividness of biological orgasm. A slight waft of biological orgasm conserved through clear seamless awareness can fill you with deep fulfillment far greater than the mundane biological sexuality.

Free from desires and fears, clear seamless awareness distinctly evolved through meditation, can change quality and dynamics of human sexual orgasm. Spiritual awareness with orgasm is an immense pleasure, the scale of which is far greater than ordinary sexuality. It is a cocktail of deep relaxation, orgasm, vital force and meditation.

Healing Through Spiritual Orgasm

Deep subliminal healing is one of the Tantra meditation benefits.

Through deep relaxation and seamless clarity of awareness during sexual orgasm, the waves of orgasm can be involuntarily diverted away from dissipation towards assimilation in the body. Full potential for orgasm can be unleashed and orgasm can be assimilated to nourish the body through sexual healing.

Relaxation and spiritual awareness during orgasm can make you sensitive like at the time of birth. Through awareness and relaxation during orgasm, your entire body can become orgasmic.

Full spectrum of orgasm can cause disintegration of ego i.e., the feeling of being inner self, and induce deep meditation. The process may seem death-like. Your psychological identity may disintegrate as you remain aware and relaxed, centered in the vortex of orgasm.

Full spectrum of orgasmic energy can convert ordinary awareness into spiritual awareness unaffected by experiences amidst experiences.

The full spectrum of orgasm is your sublime natural instinct hidden within the earthly biological compulsions. It is a natural potential of human awareness arising from distinctly evolved complex human processes of life. However, this natural potential needs to be cultivated, just like you learn to swim. Though you do not know to swim by birth, you have natural potential to swim.

Spiritual Tantra is Your Rich Natural Potential

The potential to enter depths of meditation through orgasm and sexuality is a natural human potential that can be learned instinctively by becoming naturally rich through awareness, relaxation and correct breathing.

Process of finding depths of meditation in sexual passions is like lotus blooming in sludge, it is like finding diamond in coal mine. You have to get inside the sludge to find lotus. You have to get your hands and feet colored with coal to find diamonds.

If you stay conservative or hedonist towards sexuality, you will be egoistic due to feeling of being inner self or the Self and you cannot remain relaxed and detached from experience of orgasm amidst orgasm.

Without an objectively detached awareness, you get glued to experience of orgasm while remaining as inner being or the Self, and you may miss the lotus of meditation from sludge of sexuality.

Your natural potential for full spectrum of orgasm and transformation through sexuality may remain untapped forever due to the artificial ideas of sexual conservatism or sexual hedonism.
