THE BEGINNING & ENDING
Birth. A baby from inside a woman manages with her help to emerge into the world we know, after all, we know we came here that way also and there is nothing in life more intimate than that birthing between mother and child. And it happens in the same part of her body that what is called sex happens. And of course sex began the process of birth. Very intimate these things. Awhile after birth baby is placed in the arms of mother who tells Baby essentially “welcome, I am your mother”. Is what just happened to them a sin in anybody’s book? Must it be submitted to an authority for analysis and rule making? Should a book be written for approval by proper authority? What can it mean? AN AUTHORIZED BOOK?
What is happening in you in the present moment ? You are, are you not, separated from the writer and observing what is written here so far to be separate from you? Your brain that has been conditioned to be an observer separate from the life it observes and to analyze what is before it, resisting it, and organizing a response to defend its territory thinking mostly of what use the observed might be to it, is making plans of its own based on the role it has been taught to perform. It is planning to change this and deny that or accept something else all to avoid facing openly the plain facts of what has simply happened. It is doing a job with purpose. In other words, it is not an open brain able to allow the words as they are read to become a part of your consciousness and to look at thoughts as they arise in you precisely as they are and get to know them. No longer are we communicating. You will be proud to remain the same as before you began reading and grow old. Stuck. Like a stagnant river choked by the dirt of dead arguments. Now, the writer will go on, in the hope you will change.
Birthing begins love, doesn’t it? Now, I bring this up because in my experience it is never given enough importance and that has something to do with being scolded and told sex is wrong except under approved methods. Question is, who is capable of approving methods for another? So many will tell us they speak for ultimate God. Whose approval is it going to be that we suffer?
We must not forget how life began for every human being the same. Is any event more traumatic? Yet it is not recorded in memory so as to be recalled later. That might be worth a serious study. A study of memory, I mean, and what it is useful for and why? And who or what makes recordings? And, can memories be deliberately unrecorded by the brain? And what effect has memory in the way of mind conditioning? Has some notion been strongly introduced to Baby and recorded which a few years later begins a particular type of recording in your brain concerning what is important to its particular story? A name maybe and other identification data? Who is it going to certainly be that will be thinking the rest of your life that it has a particular story? Is it anything other than illusion? Is it even slightly important to know who is thinking? Thinking happens. Why does it have to be attached to a separate image? Or, any image at all? Do you think right now you are that image? An image your brain invented? Who are you really? Can you open the mind enough to discover that?
Death. It seems thoroughly unnatural to have attached to an image, like Miss Lonely. Watch that image attach, attach, attach, attach, attach through a lifetime. Behold, I am multitudes. Careful. Any attempt to detach is just another attachment. Instead, stay with the situation as it is. Let it be thoroughly seen. Multitudes. Watch. What happens? Does it gradually evaporate? Gone all images? Empty mind. How does it feel? To be on your own? A complete unknown? Like a rolling stone?
