The Absolute


* The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao *

The Absolute can not be expressed using human language and words.
Every attempt to describe it compounds the distortion.
That includes whatever can be read on this page.
This is the author's way of distorting it.


Quotes from Bridge-L discussion:
"I can seek truth, I can get closer to truth, but I cannot encompass Truth. When I am transformed, I can become one in consciousness with The Infinite, then there is no separation, and understanding is complete.

Yet I believe that when I return to my usual state of consciousness, any understanding that I may believe I have brought with me becomes distorted by the inadequacy of the vessel. This is further compounded by the fact that the knowledge which one does have is *purely* experiential in nature. It cannot be expressed in human language. To attempt to do so compounds the distortion."

One step down from The Absolute:


Who Am I ?


Ashtar
from Ashtar Command
You are not human beings, having a spiritual experience,
but you are spiritual beings, having human experience.

from Spirit-WWW

In our normal waking consciousness, we live in this physical universe within the time-space continuum, which for most of us is the real reality.

This is only because during our physical life, we focus our consciousness to experience our physical universe through our physical body with its senses. They are our physical Subject pattern.


Quotes from Bridge-L discussion:
"One of the secrets is that our body is a lens - a filter. It only sees and experiences physical reality, which in and by itself is an illusion! It is like only seeing the color red in a picture that contains a myriad of colors. Possibly we only see one part in a billion or less of the "Total Reality" that surrounds us. All the other realities are filtered out by our awareness system. All these other realities are surrounding us, but they are not noticed by the average human being."

In the realm of One-ness, basically:
Every "I" is the same "I", which is the Cosmic "I".
The only difference is the Subject pattern held as a "point of reference" to experience other patterns.
Due to "Subject - Object" polarization, the Subject pattern identifies itself as " I am", having the impression of being separated from the rest of the Universe, which is its illusion.

Objectivity


There is no such thing as 100% "Objectivity".
The whole Universe is to us as what it is, only because we are as what we are.
Time-space and the whole Universe as we perceive it, has no objective reality independently from us.
It is our common illusion. (Maya)
Reality consists of Subject pattern, who experiences other patterns which resonate to it as the Object.
Subject and Object are basically in-separable. Without the Subject, there will be no Object and vice versa. The nature of our Cosmos is 'relational'.

Different Subject will experience different Object. We think that our physical world is an objective world, only because the patterns of our physical senses are all the same.

Beyond physical, due to differences in upbringing, life experience and belief system, we rarely have the same memory or thought pattern. Therefore each of us perceives life differently. Everyone of us is unique in perceiving our own subjective reality.

The subjective world built from subjective impressions, is the reality within every person as a unique subject (Esoteric). And the objective world is the outside common world we share (Exoteric)


Balancing LIGHT + LOVE


ESOTERIC
subjective perceptions
(unlimited point of view)

subject dependent
(no proof is needed)

every subject is unique

based on own experience

knowledge = understanding

knowing instead of believing

inner wisdom = strength

empowering others

leadership = lead & guide
(facilitating others to grow)

co-operation

harmonious co-existence

EXOTERIC
objective observation
(limited by common ground)

based on facts and figures
(proof is always needed)

concept of right vs. wrong

rely on experts/authority

knowledge = information

belief in others
(experts/authority)

authority/expertice = power

power seeking

leadership = control
(limiting others)

competition

continuous battle for power


One of our current world wide problem is caused by the misunderstanding or the unbalanced of those two axis. The human interactions in our societies are purely exoteric, and it is human nature to have the tendency to excel amongst the other fellow human being. The extreme of exoteric behavior is the pursue of authoritative power, and we are trapped in a continuous battle for power.

On the other hand, those who are on the Esoteric path have the tendency to exclude themselves from society and become Ascetics or Hermits. Only few have managed to came out and tried to share their esoteric knowledge. Due to the exoteric nature of human interactions, usually they are only the ones with some extra ordinary power i.e. the ability to perform miracles. We then 'label' them as 'guru', 'masters', 'prophet' etc., and consider them as 'authoritative figure'. And instead of trying to understand their messages, we tend to believe them and took their messages as dogmatic teachings.

As a matter of facts, we can learn from every body and everything around us. We learn and teach in every interaction with our surroundings.

The key to balance the axis are:


Knowledge instead of Belief.

A good example of a nearly balanced axis is our scientific endeavor and the development of our technology. Every scientific ideas and discoveries are shared amongst other scientist. Nowadays, with the existence of Cyberspace, it is shared to almost every one.

The driving motivation is still the exoteric nature of human being to excel, to gain some credentials, which means authoritative power in the scientific community, or just to gain some material benefits.

But no-one will believe any scientific theory without reservation. Every theory underwent all possible scrutiny, and not a single theory has ever become a 'crystallized dogma'. Not the Newtonian Law of Motions, neither Einstein's Relativity Theory, nor The Quantum Mechanics. With the transformation of Belief into Knowledge, we have a continuous development of our technology. It's never stagnant.

Love instead of Power.

The next step we ought to do is to be able to replace our driving motivation from power seeking into loving, and to expand our search of knowledge from materialistically beneficial areas only into spiritualistic wholeness.

Scientific Spirituality is:
Spirituality based on Knowledge instead of Belief
Science for Spiritual Wholeness instead of materialistic benefits
