My experience with Salvia Divinorum taught me the meaning of Eternity or Infinity as well as the meaning of Time, the Division of Time and the experience of Separation of the Self from Divinity.

While under the short spell of Salvia’s entheogenic grasp I experienced Eternity.  More accurately, I should say the plant thrust it upon me with the fury of a rushing freight train.

While under its psychedelic grip, no matter what I looked at (usually the ceiling) I experienced that thing as Eternity.  There was no time.  There was only an experience of timelessness, even thoughtlessness for a few minutes.  I could swear that the ceiling tiles I was looking at was entire universe itself.  It seemed to be an endless thing that extended forever, like some sort of Cosmic Fractal.  It is like the thing had no ‘place’ even.  It was a perfectly static image, frozen forever in eyes that beheld it in a timeless frame of mind.

The effect of the plant does not last forever of course and I came down soon enough.  The next thing I know is that my mind is starting to experience sequential divisions that occur with ever increasingly finer divisions.  Imagine cutting a carrot in half, then into fourths, then into eighths, and so on until the slices are literally infinitely small, so small that the carrot is not even there.  This was my experience of coming down from the timelessness of the Salvia experience.  My mind was able to grasp “slices” of time with more and more frequency until minutes later, I was back in “normal” consciousness.

What I learned is that, as one eastern spiritual order puts it, I lost my “addiction to time” under the influence of Salvia.

The reason we experience time is that our souls are disconnected from Divinity.  As I see it, this experience of disconnection ‘divides’ us from Divinity, which is experienced as Eternity or timelessness.  Apparently, when one divides oneself against Divinity, then the experience of Eternity is divided as well, producing the false phenomenon called time, which can be defined as Eternity experienced as a series of ‘divisions’ measured as seconds, minutes, etc.

Meditation, if practiced correctly over a long time, can reproduce this eternal timelessness, at first for short periods.  With more practice, this experience is lengthened.  Eventually, the meditator can call this experience forward anytime.

The end result is what yogis call samadhi (or even mahasamadhi).  It is a term used to describe consciously entering one’s own death.  Essentially, extensive meditation produces the ability to return to the timeless state of eternity, which is the experience of Divinity Itself, to which we are all connected, despite what our senses tell us to the contrary.  And the experience of Divinity returns to us the perception of Eternity, which is timeless.

The more we are connected to or obsessed with time and our day to day lives, the further our souls are from Divinity.  The more we are engrossed with the things of the earth and the material world, the more we experience infinitely smaller and smaller divisions of Eternity itself into and experience we call “time”.  The ancient seers called time an illusion.  They also called the material world itself and the experience of our lives an illusion.

They were right.  Totally right.

Salvia Divinorum can teach this.

In esoteric numerology, 1 + 1 is really equal to 0.  This is so because the polarities of male and female come together and cancel each other out in perfect Union, expressed as 2 = 0.  Therefore 1 + 1 = 2 = 0.  One and one come together to become “2 not 2” which seems as 1 but which is ZERO, NAUGHT.

THE ANKH.

Reality, existence itself is basically a nothing turned inside out.  The result is everything in existence manifested out of the nothing from which it came, literally inside out.  What is inside (everything contained in the nothing) is pushed outside of its ‘borders’ manifesting the everything contained in the nothing outside of that original ‘reality’.  Turn it all back on itself and you have a big black hole.

Mathematically, that original reality is expressed as 0, also expressed as 0/1 which is equal to 0.  The reality we have called life is expressed as 1 over 0, or 1/0 = All, or the Infinity symbol, an 8 laid on its side, also expressed as 1/0 which is equal to Infinity or everything in existence.

0/1 is also the symbol of the Ankh, an Egyptian symbol.

Turn this over on itself and you have 1 over 0, expressed as 1/0 which is graphically symbolic of both an erect penis sitting over a scrotum, as well as erect clitoris over a gaping vagina.  1/0 is expression of everything, of desire sexual or otherwise.

The point is that manifestation away from absolute Unity results in an expression of Duality or Polarity.

The practice of Spiritual Unity is one of becoming 0/1 as opposed to 1/0.

From the ONE which is INFINITE, and exists as a THING-NO-THING, and is experienced as ETERNITY, comes the first expression of egotistical DESIRE which begins as a movement away from God (breath of God) into the first manifestation away from God, which is experienced by the soul as DUALITY or POLARITY.

In the practice of yoga, one who controls his breath controls his very life itself.  At the base of the skull is a chakra point corresponding physiologically as the medulla oblongata, the location of which is called the “Breath of God” because in meditation a severe pressure can be felt here at this physical point, a pressure that is pushing inward.  Therefore this energetic force was called the Breath of God by the ancients.  In other esoteric traditions it is stated that God breathed life into man.  This is directly tied in with this chakra and its name.

Life is an expression of egotistical desire of the soul, a desire that “goes out” from God, away from God, only to find eventually that life here on earth in the physical plane is just a reflection of the Truth to which the soul was once united.   Reflections are not real.  Destroy the reflective surface and where is the once real-looking reflection?  To live is to desire, specifically to desire to try to exist away from God, from Unity with God.

And the action of moving away from God can be likened to a wind that blows your ship away from your home port.  You desired to see what is “out there”.  And usually, as soon as your view of home has sunk below the distant horizon you start to long for the safety of home and question why you even left.  So it is with the soul, which has left God to see what is “out there” only to learn the hard yet simplistic truth that as soon as you leave home, home is on your mind again, and that there is no place like home.

In more esoteric terms, that movement to see what is “out there” is the very act of breathing itself.  Breath is given to the human being to experience life.  It happens as soon as you take your first breath.  You will breathe all of your life until you are dead when breath ceases.

But if you meditate correctly, you can consciously stop your own breath and get a glimpse of the Eternal Bliss of returning to God, your True Spiritual Home, the place you left so long ago to see what is “out there” only to wish you could go back home as soon as you experienced the eternal emptiness of “being here” which is the result of your soul’s egotistical desire to “go out” away from God to see what is “out there”.

Continuing in this perspective, sin can be defined as simply being here on earth without the knowledge that you were once one with God.  In fact the ancient meanings of the words ‘sin’ and ‘redemption’ are ‘to forget’ and ‘to remember’.  In this discussion the soul has forgotten its Spiritual Home and must remember once again so it can begin the process of getting back there.

The whole process going out from and returning to God is what the Spiritual Science of Yoga is all about.  Yoga describes the process of how it happens, but more importantly yoga tells us the techniques we need to know and apply in order to begin the journey back, to stop the “going out” from God and start returning home.

A careful practice of yoga leads one to the conscious ability to stop one’s breath and control one’s life force itself.  A master of yoga performing his meditations appears to be dead.  His breath has stopped.  His heart has stopped.  He is perfectly still.  From this perspective one could state truthfully that yoga is the science of consciously causing your own death.  But to be more accurate we should say that it is not just ordinary death we are dealing with here but rather the ultimate and final death that results in no more reincarnation for the soul, no more rebirth, no more suffering here on earth.

The chakras at the top of the head express the All, the Nothing, the first Movement, and the Duality that results from the expression of the soul’s desire to leave God for another existence.

At the top of the head we have the crown chakra sometimes called the Thousand Petaled Lotus.  It is named this because it references the infinite possibilities of thought that are possible from the complexity of the brain.  At the front of the neck we have the throat chakra which corresponds to the Akasha or the Nothingness from which all things come.  And here we already have the first expression of polarity resulting in desire.

Then we have the 3^rd eye chakra located between the eyes.  This chakra is said to have only two petals, a direct reference to Polarity and Duality, which can be detected only when the 3^rd eye is ‘open’.  This opening can be accomplished with much effort at meditation.  But if one is “3^rd eye blind” then the Duality is unobservable, and everything in life is experienced as polar opposites, as ‘this or that’, one thing or its opposite, light and dark, good and evil, etc.

Opposite the 3^rd eye is the chakra at the base of the neck called the Breath of God.  Here we have the first expression of life itself, the influx of energy that comes straight from Spirit or God.  It is the energy source that the soul calls forth to push itself away from God directly into an illusory perception of itself that is anything but True—the Duality called life.

From the Breath of God we get a movement away from God straight into the chakra at the 3^rd eye, splitting the Infinite Unity into Two, expressing whatever possibility for life that is imaginatively possible in the crown chakra and ripping it out of the Nothingness that is the Akasha.

This is how the soul egotistically, selfishly, foolishly attracts the experience of LIFE to itself, pushing itself away from the provider of that life itself, which was never necessary in the beginning of life and is finally learned at the end of life.

This suffering all results from the actions of the ego.  The ego is evil.  It must be drained, starved and killed.  Only then can the soul see the illusion that life is an affront to God, and is not worth living because it is an experience away from God.  Union with God or Enlightenment results from this realization.  And eventually, Liberation from all reincarnations of any kind.

Orgasm is the experience of Union.  It is the natural state of the Polar opposites overcoming their resistance to experiencing perceived separation.  It is said that human beings are having an experience of separation, not just from each other, but from God as well.  We ‘normally’ experience ourselves as not-unified to God.

In sexual congress, the partners open to each other, allowing their energy fields, even their souls to merge with each other.  When the fields initially touch each other, they want to merge but are met with resistance caused by the ego’s persistent belief that it is separate from the other.  In order to merge with the other the energy fields of each soul must begin accumulating energy, enough to temporarily overcome the imprinted belief of separation which prevents union.  When enough energy is built up, then it can be released towards the goal of unification with the other soul.  This Union is the experience of orgasm.  It is what Union feels like.

In meditation the same process occurs, except that the Union sought after is between God and the individual human being, or more accurately, between the Spirit and the Soul.  The Spirit of God is always waiting and wanting to merge with us, to help us remove the experience of separateness little by little with each meditation, until the final experience of Union is attained which is called Samadhi.

The act of meditation is very similar to the sexual act of the lovers.  In meditation, the Soul calls out to the Spirit, seeking Union with it, seeking the experience of a Spiritual Orgasm with God.  The two touch each other on subtle levels, both mental and emotional.  This mental and spiritual congress is continued thru the efforts of the meditator for an extended length of time, building up the necessary energy to cause a spiritual merging.  If the meditator is sincere and diligent, then the inevitable happens—Spiritual Orgasm.  This is Union on a Spiritual level with the Almighty Itself.  The experience leaves one feeling an indescribable ecstasy, a bliss supreme.

America is a strange country.  We are the breadbasket of the world and yet we feel so skittish when it comes to the female breast, which could be compared to a “baby’s breadbasket”.  We are a country that fears receiving from the heart, receiving Love.  We cover breasts up like they are something made of pure evil.

American Men like breasts perhaps more than any other country on earth.  The especially like pumped up breasts because on a deep level they are afraid to open themselves up to the Love that comes from God.  The breasts represent in a the physical world what men want to feel in their own hearts.  And they can certainly feel that love from a woman if she is as open to giving love from her heart and breasts into him.

But it seems the trick is to open up his “feminine side” to God above.  From the Infinite does he receive the True Love from God (being receptive or ‘gay’ towards God) which he then channels out of his penis into the woman who receives it in her vagina and then becomes masculine in that she raises up this energy and pumps it out of herself thru her heart and breasts.  If men love to suck breasts, it is because on a deeper level, he can be said to be gay in that he likes a ‘female dick’ in his mouth.  Stated another way, he is just manifesting his feminine side.

So you see, we are all gay on some strange esoteric level.  The reason some men are violent towards gay men is because deep down, there souls want them to open to their feminine side and start receiving from the heart and become more balanced, but their ego will have nothing of it and so they look to the outside to find a physical representation of what it is that is going on in their souls, someone whom they can lash out at.  The result is what is commonly called gay bashing.

There is no need to think that we must all become gay or lesbian or experiment with homosexuality in order to understand what I am writing about here.  The idea is to just be aware that ideally, we are all supposed to be giving and receiving simultaneously.

And if you are celibate, not sexually active with any partner, then with a little thought it can be seen that you are having sex with the whole world thru your very actions within it.  If you do a great amount of selfless work for the world, you are said to be spiritually great because from one perspective, it is the world itself that is raising you up spiritually thru the work you did for it.  They push you up, so to speak.  They herald you as great because of your humble activity for the all.

If you are having sex with someone then treat them the same way as the celibate treats the world.  Give to them.  Enjoy their presence and the gift of them.  But do not become attached to any of it.  Enjoy without getting attached.

For when your day of death ensues, you will have to give up even your loved one.

Homosexuality is a manifestation of a desire for the lack of something missing internally.  One’s attitude towards homosexuality reveals much about their own nature.

These days many young men find lesbians to be a sexual turn-on.  The more men like lesbians, the more it reflects their own desire to be feminine themselves to receive love in their hearts.  The more intensely a man likes to think about or see lesbians having sex with each other, the more intensely he is experiencing a need to feel feminine.

There is a phenomenon among young girls today, usually called ‘girls gone wild’ in which girls lift their shirts and scream.  Many men rather enjoy this sort of activity.  No surprise since the female breast is really a feminized manifestation of the male penis.

Lesbians are the way they are because of a failure to find a man who is willing to receive the love the woman wants so desperately to give.  The more a woman is open to the idea of having lesbian sex, the more it reflects her desire to give love from her heart.  This desire overrides the natural tendency to have sex with men and she instead adopts the role of a man internally and engages in sex with women to attempt to compensate for what is missing in her life.

The same principle is true with a gay man.  Somehow he ends up unable to find a woman to receive what he has to give from his penis.  In a desperate attempt to satisfy this natural desire the man adopts the role of a woman internally and has sex with another gay man, using his own body to try to correct the imbalance within himself.

A man who hates gays is manifesting his own anger with himself, angry with his soul’s desire to receive love which is the action of the feminine within himself.  Have you ever noticed how these gay-haters are so closed off to receiving love?  They tend to be abrasive, aggressive jerks because they never allow the calming effects of love within themselves.

The same is true of a woman who hates lesbians.  She is manifesting her anger with her own soul’s attempt to give energy from her heart.  Have you ever noticed how these anti-lesbians are so unable to give love?  They tend to be total ‘bitches’ who never find satisfaction with anything in life because they never give of themselves.

The more a man loves breasts, the more profound is his need to open up to love within his heart.  Some men love women with breast implants.  The reason they find them attractive is because pumped up breasts reflect their own need to receive love.  The more he likes bigger breasts, the more it reflects his need for love.

The more a woman wants bigger breasts, the more it reflects her inability to give love from her heart, so she compensates for her internal deficiency by pumping up her external manifestations of love—her breasts.  She believes that if she has bigger breasts, then she will be able to give love simply because she looks like she can—big tits equals big love.  Love comes not from a pair of Double D’s, but from within, from the heart beneath the breasts.

The more a man wishes he has a huge penis, the more he is reflecting his own inability to give love, reflected in the organ itself.  In his mind, a bigger dick means more energy and more love he can give to his partner.  But this is not true.  Love is found on the inside, not in the size of an organ.

The more a woman demands a huge penis from her lover, the more vampire-like she is, always demanding more and more energy from her man whom she unhesitatingly drains while simultaneously never giving love herself from her heart.  She is a black hole, and endless abyss which can never be filled no matter how large her partner’s genitalia.

Pimp culture seems to have turned the vampire-bitch syndrome on its ear, making the man into the vampire and the whores into the men who have to do all the work.

It is obvious that the pimp is a total wimp, unconnected to his spiritual nature.  He is a predator on weak women who don’t realize their own spiritual nature either.

There is no hope for either.

The proper way to be is to give and receive simultaneously.  The old saying that it is better to give than to receive is only half right.  The proper way is to be in a state of being in which you are giving and receiving at the same time, again simultaneously.

In the proper practice of Tantra the participants are engaged in precisely this activity.  The man, the embodiment of the Divine Above, is receiving from God Above while the woman, the embodiment of the Divine Below, is receiving from God Below.

Simultaneously the Man is giving to the woman’s vagina thru his penis while the woman is giving from her heart and/or breasts into the man’s heart.

This creates a cycle within a cycle as it were.  While each participant is receiving from God and giving to the partner, each is also receiving from the partner as well in a heart-genital circuit, again a cycle within a cycle.

This is how Heaven meets Earth and Earth meets Heaven.  Esoteric scriptures mention bringing Heaven down to Earth and raising up Earthly material thru the help of a Divinity.

So well and good for couples.  But what about single people?  The process is the same.  The difference is that instead of focusing your attention of giving of yourself to a person in particular, you simply give freely of yourself to the whole world.  It has been said by a wiser yogi than myself (Sri Yukteswar) that if one rejects the usual responsibilities of marriage and family life, then he/she is obligated to work for the world, to adopt the world so to speak, as his/her own family and serve them all as though they were your own personal family.  Paramahansa Yogananda stated it another way at the end of his autobiography with the phrase, “Lord, thou hast given this monk a large family.”

In this singular performance of ‘tantra with the world’ one simply receives from God ideas and feelings and intuitions about how to help raise up the world thru one’s own karma yoga, or dutiful work one does for the world.

Normally what form this work will entail is usually proscribed by a guru or spiritual teacher.  For those who do not have access to a teacher, another way is to consult a very talented astrologer.  For those who do not have access to this either or else simply do not ‘believe’ in the established validity of the science of astrology, there is another way.

Meditate, meditate, meditate your ass off…until after incredible effort you reach a state of being when you have established a strong connection with God within.  When this is done, all one needs to do is to meditate deeply, calm the mind, establish a communication with the Inner Intuition which is the voice of the Divine within the mind, and then simply ask what karma yoga or dutiful work for the world one should be doing.

If this process is done correctly, a quiet answer will come.  And if you are receptive to it and do not judge or criticize or outright reject the advice from within, then you will perceive the logic behind the answer, its inherent sensibility.

This last method of discovering your karma yoga is tricky at best.  The Ego is more wily than anyone can imagine.  It can trick the aspirant time and time again, leading one astray constantly, sometimes even making one think he/she is progressing along the path towards establishing communication with God when in fact the aspirant is going nowhere.

Not being able to determine your own ability to devote yourself to severe meditation, then the best and only advice I can offer is to find a guru or teacher.  Good luck.  They are in short supply.  And they are not given to teaching just anyone.

Other than that last option, I can offer up my sincerest blessings if you choose to go it alone meditating until you establish contact with Divinity.  Perhaps with any luck, and with your best effort, you may even attract a teacher or guru with no especial effort on your part to find one.

All depends on the intention of the aspirant.  If sincere, fortune will smile.  If not…well even I can’t answer that.

Become as selfless as possible.  Approach your duty to the world this way.  Be giving and you will certainly receive all you need.  And perhaps if you do it very well, you may even attract the teacher you need.

As far as standard relationships go, they rarely (if ever) work.  The reason for this is that the participants have their polarities mixed up.  Each is trying to find in the other what they should be finding within themselves first, from Divinity within.

The majority of men in this world are not connected to their true selves, to God inside.  This is the Source of their true masculinity.  But since most men are disconnected from this part of themselves, they don’t truly have the masculine energy to give to a woman.  Instead of looking for what they need from God, they mistakenly think they can find it in the woman who attracts them the most.  Instead of connecting to Source so they can give forth the loving masculine energy a woman needs to respond with love, most men look to find a source of love first from a woman.

This is a grave mistake.  It never works.  This is a faulty process of trying to create the small cycle without the help of the big cycle.  It is like trying to give someone all of your blood without simultaneously replacing it as it ebbs away from your veins. If this harkens to mind the culture of the vampire, it is with good reason.  A woman naturally drains male energy from a man.  There is nothing wrong with this, it is just the way it is.  The negative wants the energy of the positive.   If a man is not connected to God and thereby becoming a constant channel of male energy, then the end result of a typical relationship is always the same—the woman totally drains a man of all of his masculine energy.  The relationship fails utterly and completely.  Neither participant is happy.  Both are miserable.

The heart of the problem lies in the fact that (according to one very ancient perspective I totally agree with) we human beings do not belong here, not as in ‘on earth’ exactly but rather here in 3d physical ‘reality’.  As a result of our souls coming here, we are having a false experience of being separate from each other as well as disconnected from our Source or Divinity Itself.

We simply do not perceive things correctly.  We look at each other and think that we see in the other person all that we want or all that we think we are missing and we try to get it from the other instead of looking within first.  So a man looks at a woman and thinks that the love he needs comes from her firstly.  Wrong.  A woman is not the Source.

A woman is akin to a kind of spiritual-biological type of electrical transformer.  Plug in the right kind of energy, and the energy gets transformed and is expelled out back to the source of that energy.

But a man is similar in this function.  He (ideally) plugs into Divinity, receives spiritual energy, transforms and channels this out of himself into a woman.

As can be seen, each is like the other.  Both receive energy, transform it, and then project it outwards.

The first half of the Divine process begins with a Divine Man who is connected to God, receives spiritual energy from God, transforms it, and is ready to project spiritual energy the woman naturally wants and needs.  The other half of the process begins with a Divine Woman who is connected to Earth and is ready to receive the spiritual energy from the Divine Man, transform it, and give it back to him.

The majority of the world has turned this process on its head.  In most relationships, women rule the relationship for the reason that the man is not connected to God but is busy trying to get the spiritual energy he naturally wants and needs from a woman, who is not the source of spiritual energy.  This man is weak, wimpy and “pussy whipped” to use the common vernacular.

The reason he is pussy whipped is because he thinks that Love is to be found straight from the woman without any effort on his part.  He mistakenly thinks the Source of Spiritual Energy is found firstly in the woman and he can simply drain it from her.  He is paradoxically drained as a result.  He never realizes that it is God’s Spiritual Energy that he needs first in order to receive what he wants so desperately—Love.  The Love he seeks from a woman cannot be found unless he channels pure Spiritual energy into her which he then receives from her.

Women apparently don’t realize these truths either.  They attach themselves to a man, marry him and think that she has found a channel or conduit of spiritual energy of God’s masculine Love she needs to give forth that Love herself.  But she is mistaken.  She naturally drains him like a vampire, absorbing all of his masculine energy turning him into a shell of a man, empty & devoid of all life.  And when she begins to realize this on a deep level, the result is that she turns into a nag or “bitch” to use another common term.  She will constantly bitch at her man because she is not receiving the spiritual energy she needs and wants.

And so the result is the same.  A disastrous marriage.  Sometimes divorce.   Is it any wonder that the divorce rate is now at or above 50%?

If relationships continue as they are, then failure will always be the result.  It can be no other way.

I sense something is wrong with the Universe, especially as regards the concept of progress.  I literally do not see actual progress around me.  It seems that the more things change in terms of technology, the more the basic problems in life still hang around.  Life as we know it is still as stupid, fraught with difficultly, and essentially pointless as it was 5000 years ago.  The biggest difference is our ability to manufacture the things of the earth into other things.  But the problems they are touted as being able to solve are still here.  Literally, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The invention of the wheel made carting goods from one place to another faster and perhaps easier assuming you ignore the problems inherent with the utilization of a wheel, namely keeping the wheel in good repair, care of the axle, and generally making sure that the moving parts are kept moving in such a manner as it causes the fewest problems possible, which is of course impossible since one day or another something will wear out or outright break.  Then there is the inevitability of the wheel becoming a burden as sooner or later there will be a rocky, jagged mountain in the path of the wheel which needs a relatively smooth surface to operate.  And what happens when you encounter the eventual expanse of water?

Is a wheel a cure for transporting goods?  Or just a treatment at best?  After all, the problem of transporting things still exists.  It does not go away because of the sudden presence of the invention.

Given this simple demonstrable truth, one has to wonder if ANYTHING we do in this journey called life has any lasting effect, if it nullifies the problems we intend to solve, if it combats the perceived evils we encounter each day, each hour, each minute?

The only way to nullify a perceived problem is to transcend it.  Life itself seems to me to be a problem, a huge problem, a misperception of consciousness itself, a grand illusion, a natural result of perception that arises from the emergence of Duality, which is a natural expression of life itself.  Life happens in Duality.  Only in the realization of such can the fallacy of life itself be remedied.

Life and Death are opposites and the same thing.  They are perceptions of the same thing, just taking place at different moments in perception.  Life is just a series of moments, experienced one after another, perceived as Time, which is an illusion.  The very perception of life and death seem to me to be a disease whose cure is that of the nullification of Duality itself.  This is accomplished thru a practice such as Yoga, the aim of which (as Yogananda described it) is the “cessation of the fluctuation of mind-stuff”.

It is said that Life is Sacred.  Those who are living may tell you that they are afraid of life or even death, that they are scared to death of it all.  Is it any wonder that the words “sacred” and “scared” are formed of the same letters?

Yoga is the Final Emancipation from the Duality of Life and Death.  The culmination of yoga is the end of existence, the disappearance of the universe, or stated another way, the “end of the world”.

I do not see any conventional solution to the problem of life.  Yes, I literally think of life as a problem that must be remedied.  Its only cure is death, but not just physical death.  I mean the death to the entire illusion of life and death and experience itself.  Life leads nowhere.  At the end you arrive at the beginning because you have not transcended the cycle itself.  Life is a not-so-merry-go-round.

No matter how technological we become, no matter how clever we think we are, we will never solve the problem of just BEING HERE.  The only solution, in my estimation, is to transcend the world, even the universe itself—to literally destroy the world, the universe.  This is done, as far as I can tell, only thru the realization of the Truth, namely that ALL of this is an ILLUSION.

We are eternal.  We are ONE.  We are so completely supposed to be in a state of one-ness that it resembles a nothingness, a no-thing-ness.  A stateless state of being-less being, being non-being, or defined another way…2 = 0.

Two equals zero.  The illusion of being not-one (2) is removed thru realization of the Truth (=) which reveals us to be the eternal thing-no-thing (0) that we are.  Zero means nothing.  But the very concept of nothing is a thing.  But zero is not considered a thing.  But zero has to be considered a thing so that we can conceive of its nothingness and declare it to be nothing.  We must disguise that which does not exist as some ‘thing’ that does exist so that we can declare its inherent non-existence.

Even lies have to be considered as lies in truth to be declared a lie.  So you see, even things that are false are true.

So you see, thought itself is the problem.  Such nonsense, as expressed above, is the result of thinking.  Such nonsense is the result of being not-one with God, the Infinite, the Eternal.

The only way to stop the nonsense is to…stop.  Period.
