Wandering with the Wind...

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

Hey there once again after...one month or so. I'm back in Singapore, after a hectic holiday in China sprinting here and there between math and art tuitions, but it was worth it so I'm not gonna complain. At any rate being a bit busy can be easily slighted if I really sat down and considered all the good things I'd received this hol.

One particularly important thing I wanted to pen down almost instantly was a chat with Raf some days ago that made me re-establish my perception of God. Regardless of its simple nature I called it enlightenment. Because it really is. It was the start of a series of understandings that I wouldn't have attained if not for this particular springboard.

Simply put, what I started over to perceive is one of the spiritual context. God is not Him, nor is God an It, but God is All. God is existence. God is not one, but is all and everything put together. In other words you and I are God, that cup over there is God, that cat is God, the trees are God, Life is God and Existence is God. We are God. God are Us. That's really the whole point.

What I used to believe in after I had lost faith in religion was essentially the same in nature but different in description. I believed that there was no other god than the creators within each and every one of us. The ultimate creator I had viewed as the Cosmic Source, the origin of all and the supplier of all energies. But now I know better. We are co-creators. We don't depend on God, nor do we fear him, or obey him, or love him with a price to pay. We work with God. We help God, just as he helps us...it's a mutual thing.

Faith, like many things, is mutual. And Love likewise is mutual. Something I've been wondering about focuses particularly on this issue; that whilst love is supposed to be an innate, natural ability, an instinctual part of ourselves that should be utilised as we would use our lungs to breathe, it has been twisted and altered and blemished with the artificial manmade labels just as man's desire to give everything a physical form of worth did to almost everything else. Love needs sacrifice. Love needs fear. Love needs possession. Love needs submission.

Some people die for love.

But can't they see the simple answer underneath that dark cloak of miscomprehension - that you can, similarly, live for love?

It's a tiny step-wide fork in a choice that presents itself all too often before our undiscerning eyes.

If only one day every Man could open his eyes, look around himself...see himself in the other, and the other in himself, that is the day when true ascension comes. We don't need love to be paid for, not must it be requitted. You love another as you love your own. You love others as you love yourself. You love God as you love you, because God is you, God is everything, and you are everything.

Man are afraid of looking beyond this shell of individuality they have created around themselves, perhaps because of the fear that when melded into this universal being of existence they would lose their personality and uniqueness that make up their shaky grounds for existing. They exist for the knowledge that they are not others, that they are different beings, cognitive individuals who can only be relieved with the knowledge that they have something others do not. That makes them reject others of their own kind, and subsequently reject themselves. Cold wars. Hatred. Misunderstandings. Rejection and Fear. All adverse consequences from that moment of foolishness that started it all.

And that moment, is the start of civilization.

It is ironic that whilst civilization was supposed to bring a more noble love, this instinct has actually been downgraded to an afterthought, pushed behind conscious calculations and lies and measurements of profit that pervade the soul of mankind. People are no longer happy with love anymore, and they do not hesitate to make their complaints known.

But can't they see the simplest of answers?

You don't need to be happy only because you know the other accepted your love. You need to be happy because you loved.

And that is the simple philosophy.

I give them a leeway for their unyielding obstination in this matter. Because you cannot call them obstinate or foolish when they have yet to be able to see the bigger picture in the first place. The Me a month ago wouldn't have. It takes time...sprinkled with well-placed opportunities, for people to digest the simplicity of this answer that slips the mind conditioned to look for complexity.

And as I have said earlier to myself (not in this post), now I finally understand why we cannot save Man by simply intervening with whatever they are doing and setting them right back on track. Because by saving them we need to let them grow. And by letting them grow we cannot keep making decisions for them. Only when they finally realise the freedom of decision and choice left to them by creation, can they fully be called a true civilization worthy of further growth.

And that's the point. You make yourself better, so you can be worthy of further growth. That is the point these earthlings must understand.

Trust me, you will be free one day.

We will all be free one day.
