Die to each moment and you will discover the gate to unending life.
Merlin to Arthur, The Way of the Wizard by Deepak Chopra
Time. The brain’s illusion of change, transition, movement – outcomes coming in and out of perception and reaction and action – anesthetized by mass consumptions of thought. Death – the final illusory outcome – the ultimate perceptual separation in time and empty space – actually, it has already occurred – only the brain has not recognized it – and breath pauses to listen only to hear the distance – and not the moment. We are knocked unconscious by that which is perceived but does not exist. The mind.
My mind races onward into the oblivion of more mind -- a mind is built of fragments of moments –moments built of isolated fragments of searching selves – trying to find destiny and purpose in the dung heaps of unexperienced pasts – massive mindfills of discarded empty thoughts and crumpled constricted feelings.
To die is to stop “minding” moments – to end the endless thinking that inebriates consciousness and produces unconsciousness—to reach a closeness with They who are beyond – and allow intimate oneness -- closeness with ourselves and others.
Unending life is in the heart – the mind can only produce anti-life – endless moments of feverously spiraling thought.
Sounds hopeless -- dark – like the initial bleakness of a science fiction movie.
My response was that I wondered who wrote it. And that it is a description of an experience that radiates past the shadows and into conscious contact and Presence with higher versions of my selves – and with my personal God.
Words – thoughts – images – dark and light -- dreams of what is – but isn’t – really. But no one really knows what to do with the blinding silence and blaring glare of what is appearing but disappearing within our brains.
I wonder what really is. And sometimes I wish I could put the evil genie of consciousness back into its bottle, and return to the black and white TV sitcom that mankind calls “life”.
And then You appear – in my heart.
