Open Your Eyes's Interests 3

The Goddess is not the same external monarch that rules the universe as symbolized by the Father. Father is in existence because of the Mother. She does not rule the world like a monarch; She is existence itself and hidden in all. Starhawk says, “All things are swirls of energy, vortexes of moving forces, currents in an ever-changing sea. Underlying the appearance of separateness, of fixed objects within a linear stream of time, reality is a field of energies that congeal, temporarily, into forms. In time, all ‘fixed’ things dissolve, only to coalesce again into new forms, new vehicles.”

The Charge of the Goddess says, “Once in a month and better it be when the Moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the Wise. You shall be free from slavery and as a sign that you be free you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My presence for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and Mine also is joy on Earth. For My law is love unto all beings.” 

One who has the wings of a man
And the wings of a woman also
Is in himself a womb of the world
And being a womb of the world
He continuously, endlessly gives birth
One who preferring light prefers darkness also
Is in himself an image of the world
And being an image of the world
Continuously, endlessly is the
Dwelling place of creation
One who is the highest of men
And the humblest also
Is in himself a valley of the world
And being a valley of the world
He continuously, endlessly
Conducts the one source
From which vessels
May be usefully filled
Such are destined to be the
Guides and guardians of humanity 

A lot of people have a fear of God but this is just a fear of the unknown. For God is the very state of fearlessness. A lot of people also fear death for the very same reason that is it is unknown but upon acquaintance there is nothing at all to fear because fear is ignorance or attachment. Everything that occurs happens for a reason or in other words it is all determined. Egolessness is unattachment to consequence meaning that deep down you know that all that comes to be occurs because it has been brought on by one’s own actions or in other words you have determined it and indifference to death since death cannot truly be separated from life. We truly live to die thus death should not be something suppressed and feared but totally accepted and it is in this acceptance that one surrenders to existence and death unites with life. This does not mean that one should be suicidal but instead that one acknowledges with all of one’s heart that at any moment death will come, this does not imply at all that one should dread death or have any apprehension against it but instead that one totally understands death’s significance and sacredness. 

Tell me, what are you doing now, mind,
Sitting there with a blind eye?
There's someone in your own house
But you're so oblivious
You've never noticed!
There's a secret path
With a small room at the end
And what an amazing sight inside:
Caskets filled with jewels
That you never even knew about.
There's a lot of coming and going along that path.
Go, upstairs, to the highest room,
And you'll see the moon rising.

Premik says excitedly,
Keep your eyes open;
If you want to be awake in Yoga
You must travel this secret way. 

What is on Earth is what is in Heaven

Some people question why God manifested creation but if one takes the present manifestation as it truly is there is no reason why not. God is simply the immediate moment. Say you are singing, there is no specific reason or purpose for singing. Neither is there a specific reason or purpose for dancing. You are not striving to reach a specific point on the dance floor; the journey itself is the point. Similarly compare God’s manifestation to music in the sense that music is not done with a specific purpose. You do not just play music simply to reach the end of the composition. If this were the case the best musicians would be the first to be done with the song. Just like there is no reason to sing, dance or play music there is no goal or reason to life other than experience. Life simply is joy thus God is the enjoyer and the enjoyed in one. God is ecstasy, our true nature thus God truly experiences pleasure through all. Pleasure is not just for the ego, enjoyment is the reason all is. There is no need to sacrifice anything or anyone. Words like sacrifice, service and duty are repressive but they are equated with altruism thus in many people’s eyes if you are trying to enjoy yourself it is selfish but this is perversion because unless you can enjoy yourself you cannot help anyone to enjoy. To be miserable, to be sad is unreal and sin. Your unhappiness will create unhappiness for others thus happiness is truly a virtue because a happy person will not create unhappiness for others. Only a happy person can be ground for the others happiness. Unless you are really contented with yourself, you cannot serve others toward their contentment and it is this longing for the others contentment, the others bliss that is really altruism. 

Most people truly do not know contentment thus they are ignorant of reality. The two dimensions of ignorance and reality appear as two but this appearance is unreal. In tantra the two dimensions are called sansara and moksha and they are one. Sansara is the world and its illusory separateness and moksha is the ultimate, the hidden which can be manifest. Moksha is the unity that must be felt in order to dissolve the unreal. There is no contradiction or fight at all between sansara and moksha because the hidden is just here and now in the world yet unknown to most but because it is unknown it does not mean it does not exist. The ultimate, the hidden is truly the immediate, right in front of you and all over but you just don't see it because you haven't opened your eyes. So there is truly no contradiction, there is no duality. The one appears as two because of our limitations, in other words our lack of acquaintance blocks the wholeness. In reality there is no illusion at all, it was just a misperception attributed directly to unawareness. Upon the awareness that is reality there is no division at all, no conflict what so ever thus the illusion is not against reality, sansara evolves into moksha.

Non-dualism equates God as lover and beloved in one. There is no devil or satan and God, this is dualism but if this terminology is needed to be used than the devil or satan can be labeled as the ego or the illusory lower half and God can be labeled as reality thus God is that which is beyond good and evil. Therefore the source of wickedness and evil has no inherent root in the manifestation but exists in the world due to the lack of acquaintance that is separation or in other words ignorance. Upon acquaintance everything truly is revealed as holy thus divineness is inherent in creation and not sin. There do exist faiths that worship a supposed adversary of God but understand that this is dualism. In Advaita (non-dualism) there is no adversary, no fight, no conflict what so ever because everything is one pure substance thus these satanic faiths are just worshiping ignorance and creating a super ego. These ignorant faiths are just worshipping the I. You truly carry heaven and hell within you, they aren’t geographical places. Hell is your being not aware; dukkha. If you are fully aware, heaven appears, everything becomes heaven; nirvana. The unity that is God thus destroys the satanic I, the separation and this is egodeath. 

The law of karma is a law most people have heard of. It is a law that should not be taken in a pessimistic way but instead in an optimistic way because no one else can make any suffering to you than yourself. If you are suffering you have created it. You are the master of your fate and if you want to change it, immediately you can change it but life will be transformed, your attitude, your whole being will be different than it was. The law of karma simply states that you are totally responsible for whatsoever you are and whatsoever you are living in. It is your creation. Take things as they come and deeply understand that everything that happens has to happen thus suffering will be no more. Do not choose, be the unattached witness, the watcher and bliss will happen. Bliss is not a dead state. Suffering will continue around you so it is not a question of what happens to you or around you but instead it is a question of what is within because ultimately meaning comes from you and not from the happening. 

What is happening to society is that a lot of faiths are teaching that the world is something against the divine and that you have to fight the world to reach the divine but this very world and everything in existence is truly divine. Mind divides and can only understand duality or multiplicity. Non-duality is a no mind state. The very process that one must go through to reach non-duality destroys the mind and this is what is known as egolessness. You can't reach it by thinking, it is in its very essence not thinking, not doing, just being and this is the Blessed Not-I. Sansara is moksha, this very world is totally divine, here and now is heaven but what happens with a lot of faiths is that they focus on the other world. One of the main reasons society is neurotic and prone to anxiety is "religion."In many faiths the other world becomes the ideal, the future, the vision and thus is the focus. This world here and now then becomes sin and this sin creates conflict, perversion and guilt. This illusory sin is not rooted in the real. Upon acquaintance sin dissolves in perfection but what is happening is that most are being taught that sin is inherent in creation thus guilt infuses their being. So what is occurring is that this guilt most people function in causes a lot of people to fight against life and not accept it as it truly is. This nonacceptance, this fight or struggle with the world creates friction and misery.
