The Universe appears to be a mass of endless distractions. The trick of the Ego is to make you think that there are thousands of distractions demanding your attention on a daily basis. The Truth is there is only One Distraction, One Singular Distraction that is perceived thru the Ego’s distortioned viewpoint making you think there is Difference between one thing and the other thing, between one distraction and the other. There is no difference; it is all Vibration, vibration of different frequencies, but a Singular Mass of Distraction that is correctly perceived as One.
So the best way to perceive the All is to choose a special Distraction that represents the All, a meaningful symbol of the All. One ancient way of doing this was to listen to the Cosmic Sound of all the Actions going on in the Universe. This of course is the sound heard in the absolute quiet of meditation as the AUM or OM. It is the sound of the Universe in Action.
Though Maya or Delusion uses the muffler of the Ego to shield our Soul from the Truth, the fact is that no muffler is perfect enough to perfectly muffle the sound of its of very own Existence. Therefore the Ego is bound to lose because it gives off its own Sound of Distraction. The problem is that for all of the Ego’s attempts, the Distractions always follow a Pattern. It is this Hidden or Occult Pattern, this highly translucent Blueprint, upon which All that has ever happened or will happen…occurs. The Ego is the Builder upon the Pattern, weaving endless variety upon it in an attempt to deceive the Soul forever.
But the Ego cannot hope to win. The Ego is little more than an Echo of something greater. It imitates the very Creator of the Sublime Pattern as it weaves and Builds its own False Kingdom on the Pattern. Too bad for the Ego, because the underlying Pattern is more real and lasting than all that is built upon it, and all that is created is eventually destined for destruction, for Nothing can remain built upon the Pattern forever.
Only the Soul realizes this Truth because the Soul is made in the Pattern of God, sort of like a Fractal of God. But Manifestation must involve Duality, in order to create the Perceiver and Perceived, the Lover and the Beloved, the Beheld and Beholder.
Man is to choose between the Ego’s View or the Soul’s View. The former is a divided view, the latter is the One singular view. When Man chooses to side with the Soul, his perception changes to one of calmness, a gift of the Soul. Man can then Behold and be Beheld at the same time. Then he realizes He is the Love itself, the very Love that is between all things trying to hold them together and make all things realize that they are One big Singular Thing and not Two Things. The action of Love is the Soul in Action. It brings together all things and beings in mutual respect and caring, which is Love.
Becoming Enlightened, becoming like God is the process of beholding all things as equal. When one can see and experience all things as One Big Thing, then he will realize he is a not just a part of that Thing, but even One with the Whole Thing. Then will the yogi also realize that no thing truly has any power over the him to cause a reaction or a “fluctuation of mind stuff”. He will be able to choose when he wishes to end his calm state of mind, his mental state defined as the “cessation of the fluctuations of mind stuff”.
Choose one thing upon which to focus, one Ideation of God and focus until there is nothing else on the Mind. Samadhi will occur as a result of Total Attention on God, as all of the falsely perceived multitude of distractions will cease to gain attention (at-tension) of the mind of the yogi and there will be nothing to focus upon except God in Samadhi meditation. Then the Yogi realizes that He Is God Is God Is He Is Both Perceiver and Perceived. He is Love. He is the invisible and undetectable Thing-No-Thing that washes away the distractions of the Ego, destroys what the Ego has created by mimicking God’s Sublime ways. The Ego uses hatred and Selfish Love to create a Universe of Distractions. But the things the Ego creates are Flawed and therefore Doomed because their very creation was achieved utilizing copycat techniques and knock-off imitations. They were even created with a False Love called Selfish Love.
So when the real Love of God comes poking around in the consciousness of a yogi, its actions render the Ego’s attempts to cause Perceived Differences in Distractions totally ineffective.
The Yogi perceives It All as It Is—One. He perceives in Singular Vision, Clairvoyantly with his Third Eye, his Singular Eye. He knows thru Direct Experience that he is both a part and the whole, that there is no need to fear because nothing can hurt him because he cannot hurt himself. This is why he never consciously intends to hurt others. He may not be understood and therefore not liked sometimes, but this is not born of his choosing. If all sentient beings could see accurately, they wouldn’t need to dislike someone because of who or what that person is. They would realize they are all One and the Same, so no one would be offended by the actions of others, because all of their actions, if any, are performed by the Inner Soul siding with God.
As I perceive it, one reason why some yogis do little or no outward work is because they do not want to have their best intentioned actions and work misinterpreted by those whom they may be trying to help. They are trying to teach the Truth. And these True Teachers are nearly always misunderstood. I could understand why some yogis, upon reaching enlightenment, have no desire to try to help others. To actively do so would be mean a life of non-stop misunderstanding and misrepresentations by those to whom they offer your help. Treachery. Backstabbing. Betrayals. Endless misperceptions, etc.
And All because of Love’s attempts to bring us all back together to the Truth that we are One Perception of One Perceived Thing that is Perceiving Itself Simultaneously. We are One. We are the Children of One. Those who learn these Truths have since ancient times been called the Children of the Law of One.
