The Really Real

The Really Real

Guilt and fear are the real inflictors of terror. To invoke this in others is a true crime against humanity. Judgment is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Rather than destroying bodies, these poisons destroy souls. All natural flow freezes up and inhibition rules the day. Denial is the jailer and the poor people of the Earth become perpetual prisoners.

As time passes and these habits become more and more ingrained, the essence within is harder and harder to reach. Causing stress and arguments in place of relaxation and contentment, these foreign entities seek to perpetuate themselves through others. If confronted with the eye of awareness they will shriek and howl.

Zen masters of old would beat the demons out of their disciples. Eventually the disciples would be full of gratitude because they had no idea how bad things were and the master in his benevolence took it upon himself to reach past the corruption and make some space for the inner light to come in and begin to disperse the darkness. As the natural energies return to their true course, the heart opens and radiates Joy.

To find the infinite Source within, much diligence is needed. Instant reactions have to be replaced with the stillness of observation. Most people believe that they are the inculcated patterns of behavior and define themselves as such. If a friend comes along and suggests that perhaps it would be a wiser course of action to stop condemning oneself, the first response is often a “How dare you!?” audaciousness that tries to inflict the guilt and judgment directly on the friend.

With the true teachers of Tao, there is no one there to feel offended and the Will remains strong. Existence itself looks through their eyes and continues in a myriad of ways to plant seeds in the world for the magic awakening to take place. The walls are thick and defenses are constantly reinforced. Even if the entire outer world tells you that you are wrong, it may just be that you are right. Trust yourself and anything at all is possible. Beyond even the most extensive and fantastic dreams is the really real.
