The Search and Recognition of Truth
I searched for a long time and always came to the same conclusion. Why is there this tendency to search? Is it a tool of the mind trying to confuse us on the path to enlightenment? Thank you
Smart Question! on which further research can be built... First, it must be understood that every being is engaged in creating that which will again perish. In this creation, the being is enthusiastic, he is preoccupied, he feels like "God Almighty", and indeed he is, but there are Higher Beings, i.e. Buddhas... The gods are Falling asleep on this "creation", and Sleeping on "it", but the other part of the TRUTH escapes them, either because they are actually Sleeping in their Ignorance, or because (and this is karmically the worse option), that they know the other part of the TRUTH, but DON'T want it, DENY it, DENY it, and call those who OPENLY talk about it (but on purpose) "nihilists" or "depressed people" to distract from the TRUTH. But who is depressed? The one who has accepted the other part of the TRUTH, and COME to terms with it, or the one who is aggressive, and rejects it? The one who has accepted It is definitely not aggressive, it is the Most Dignified and Exalted Being from whom all should learn "how to do it". He who has accepted Her certainly does not wish to hold anyone else responsible for Her "non-acceptance" of the TRUTH. All of you who are HONEST and CIVIL people are to understand this and tell those who pretend to know "something more" your NO. By this I mean that there are many "so-called ignorant beings" who are not ignorant at all - they know the "other part of the TRUTH" but do not want to accept their responsibility for it. These beings WANT to absolutely recklessly enjoy themselves like little evil children at the expense of their parents, and they do it by blaming others for their SHIT... as if it were their parent... their parents who are "supposed to beat their pillows" so that the TRUTH doesn't hurt them too much. But even they WILL WAKE UP, they won't have anything else to do because no one will wait for them... and the more aggressive they get, the more KARMA will build up.
So again, CONCENTRATION on the other part of TRUTH... if you understand this equation: V + OT + Z = ZERO ( V - arises, OT - moment lasts, Z - ceases ), you understand the Matrix of the Universal Law of Impermanence. Thus, again to your question (do you see how it is necessary to CONCENTRATE and not get lost on the ROAD?! - you have to just GO for it!). Your SOUL is the PRIMARY IMPULSE of the creation of "I" (you wished for a concept, first you employed it as the "concept of your mind", then you breathed life into it by making an agreement with the beings-as well as the concepts-"parents" and the being Mother Earth about this incarnation of yours). This THOUGHT of thine is behind "thy mind" which is the instrument of this FIRST THOUGHT. This "mind" is not you. In the same way, the "search" is not an instrument of this "mind", it is only a program, a habit, a habit that you put into the "mind", because if you uninstall that program, the "mind" would not search by itself, there would be "nothing" to search for, it is you who gave "something meaning" in order to "search" for "it". The mind by itself cannot "reach Awakening", Awakening is reached by you, now that I tell you that you are behind the mind and it is you who gives it "tasks to solve" - all where there is no other solution to be reached than the Ultimate Awakening - Enlightenment. Thus, your present Recognition that behind the "mind" is THAT... is your FREEDOM. You just have to take responsibility for it and NOT desire to repeat what has no satisfactory solution, i.e. not to repeat the idea of "re-birth" to which AUTOMATICALLY RELATED EVERYTHING, i.e. "re-aging", "re-death", "re-death", i.e. the ABSOLUTE repetition of losses and finds... of what is intrinsically LAST. Yes, some will argue "but there are nice things" and I'm not saying there aren't... there are, but every "party" is redeemed by a "hangover"... and the more intelligent you are, the more "less is more" applies to you... that's heading into the CLID... NIRVANA...
So, back to your question, there is no "mind as your enemy that tries to confuse you, that you must fight, that you must suppress, that you must eliminate", you now understand that you yourself wish to fool the mind with programs (including the mind trying to confuse you) that you use to persecute yourself". This would not be possible if you accept that you are not "mind", and if you are not "mind", why should it be your friend or enemy... it may or may not be both... but whatever it is, it is your WISH - YOUR WISH - to play like this...
The harsh realization in all of this is that until you embrace the Knowledge of the Buddha, you have no idea that you are playing, taking it "seriously", thinking you can "fail" or "succeed", and so you face your own biases... and take all the pain associated with it - KARMA... That is why I always tell my students that the concept of "Buddha" is the only concept that offers "stepping out of yourself"...
Now I have taken you into Insight... your Understanding = your Mind Liberated... so if you have Understood, you should STOP AND SPEAK LIKE A LION... because a LION, regardless of anyone else who is still suffering, has made the effort to come to his or her realization THEMSELVES...

Very nice post Lumir. I would just ask for clarification. In the beginning there is the desire, or the self, which helps to be born and then to awaken - with the help of the desire we also reach enlightenment. I can confirm this, I wanted it, and it happened. But then are we to stop desiring, thereby stop being born, when the desire is me? So this is the goal of the buddha. But how does this concept merge with this - the path is the goal, and what makes sense here is to increase consciousness and if you achieve that, to help others in that. If you stop giving birth, you will no longer help anyone here, you will no longer pass on anything, and this will also slow down the development of other beings. I like the Buddha's path, it has helped me a lot, I identify with it, but with all due respect Lumir, the ending - not being born - seems a bit like an ism to me. How do you know it's the right ending? If you're enlightened, you can get out of suffering faster. I know Lucia said you take on the suffering of your students, but there's no getting away from that either? After all, our souls are here to try, to experience, and that's called life. And it's infinite. Until you decide otherwise. Yes, you can stop being born, but then what's the point? Anastasia writes that the most important of the cosmic laws is to improve the living space. That means influencing other people and setting an example. If you interrupt this, you have no one to teach, which in turn contradicts the cosmic law. That's why the end of incarnation feels like an ism to me, but with your beliefs I can see how you could say the same about me. That's what I keep thinking. There are many paths that should lead to one goal, but I see two goals and it's not entirely clear which one to identify with, so far my theory wins and I don't see the point in yours. No matter how much I read your posts, talk to Lucia, I'm still not convinced. Moreover, the Buddha focuses his attention on suffering, which on the one hand I can understand, because that's how he leads people to self-love and liberation from suffering. According to this concept, I also understand why he preaches the end of incarnation - complete liberation from suffering, since he focuses on it all the way. But then how are we going to appreciate, enjoy that nirvana, if we appreciate the good things here precisely because of duality, by recognizing the bad as well? I know that the good and the bad are also determined by ourselves. But it's a completely different concept than the divine one, where we are supposed to live a life of joy. To be able to, of course we need not to suffer, but again, if I take life as joy, why end incarnation?
What you write is full of contradictions. a) Dharma is neither pretty nor ugly, Dharma is, it is a Medicine that CONCERNS ONLY the suffering of particular beings - it is not about whether it "succeeds in being pretty" or "fails". If you are more concerned with "presenting yourself", you are not paying attention to the Dharma, but to your "desire to please", to which you are a slave - see? Dharma again, concentrating again on suffering...
b) You say "in the beginning is desire, or I", you answer yourself that way, but I didn't say this, that's what you say. "I" is definitely not "desire". "I" is compounded using "desire", you are neither "I" nor "desire", you are not even "you".
(c) You say "by means of desire, we also arrive at enlightenment. I can attest to that, I wanted it, and it happened.", but it is already clear from the above that you have not yet realized your Enlightenment. If you had realized it, there is no possibility for you to "ask for further clarification".
(d) As a suffering being, you cling to the goal of "awakening" because you "wish" for your suffering to cease, but once you become a Buddha, you no longer have a goal because you see through the "groundlessness of all" that appears to be essential. After that, you set aside "desire" as something you no longer need. You don't wish to "get rid of craving"; you understand that unconsidered craving is the cause of suffering. But that doesn't mean you don't desire to go to the toilet, for example, or you don't desire to eat - as long as you are in the physical body, you are subject to KARMA, you must fulfill the conditions of physical existence. The Buddha is a being who fulfills them only to expound the Dharma, no longer to satisfy his own needs. The Buddha understands that "no matter what he does, he will never achieve anything, no one will hold it, nothing will come of it", so he sees no reason to "work at it". The Buddha opens the possibility of Realization of that Knowledge also to beings who are Sincere and Truly wish to end their suffering. This will be accomplished by such a being who understands the Matrix of the Universal Law of Impermanence (more youtube: The Heart of the Dharma or the Guide to the Self).
(e) "The path is the goal" until the point where you follow the path of the Buddha until you become the Buddha. After that, the path disappears. Even the beings you are supposed to help disappear. What you are left with is Absolute Integrity... that is Sovereignty... This is what a worldly being does not understand, he thinks he "has to have something" to "be good enough" - that is astray. The magic is that you are Perfect in admitting "I never had anything, and it is not even possible - therefore it is not even possible for me to lose anything" - when you unravel it into all the causes and effects, you Truly Free Yourself...
f) If I am no longer born, I will communicate with the Masters, as I am now, just as the Masters who are not physically manifest here communicate with me. The two main ones are BUDDHA GAUTAMA and CHRIST LORD. Further, then, a mother will not help a child if she is blackmailed into nursing it to ten years of age - the child will grow up when the mother weans it. That is why I always tell even my closest disciples "I love you, but I must leave you..." and that is only because the PRINCIPLE OF LAW UNIVERSE. Remember that what is true in the "small" (baby and breastfeeding) is also true in the Absolute Meaning.
g) you say "I like the Buddha Way, it has helped me a lot, I identify with it, but with all due respect Lumiere, the ending - not being born - strikes me as a bit of an ism." - The way of the Buddha is not a product in the supermarket, it is not there for you to "like or dislike". The way of the Buddha guarantees Enlightenment to the one who wishes it - that is, it is a NEED for the one who is Intelligent, not a game of "do I buy it or not?" You have not been helped by the "way of the Buddha", not yet, you don't know what it is. That's why you can't even identify with it. The Buddha Way is Absolute Devotion to the Three Jewels, that is: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. This Devotion is not evident from your speech. The "all reverence" you offer is only such as the Self-reverence you have for yourself. In all reverence, if I were to rely on the reverence you offer me, I would not get far. Please don't take this the wrong way, I know it's very confronting, what I'm saying is that you must REALLY HONOR YOURSELF, regardless of whether I give you credit or others do. So work. If you do, you will reach Perfection - and that is my wish of happiness for you... How non-birth "affects" you or not is your own private matter - there are many levels of Enlightenment, I am in the Last one, that is, the Unreturning... When you Realize it, you will laugh at your foolishness, and you will remember these very words of mine with love...
h) "How do you know this is the right end?" - the being who is Awakened does not ask. I know it so that I have Accomplished that which has neither beginning nor end. This Realization is "the end," but not in the sense that the suffering being understands it. In other words, you are without beginning or end, it is impossible to grasp or define you - the moment I try to do so, I am already limiting you, just as you limit me, fortunately only in your subjectivity, on which I do not depend.
ch) "If you are enlightened, you can get rid of suffering faster." - your question is a misunderstanding of what Enlightenment is. Buddha is not someone who has a "quick cure" for when he "stubs his toe". He experiences pain. He has a "different perspective" on pain. You ask as someone who "desires to live in the body and wishes it didn't hurt" but that is not possible. The Buddha put an end to suffering by Understanding the Law of the Universe - fully Embracing it and Taking All Responsibility for it. That is, he is not in the "role of victim", he is not suffering the injustice that "everyone is bad" because he is "hurting the body", here in Samsara. They Know that He wished you to be reborn, and that the "pain of the flesh" is directly related to it, as is "re-illness", "re-aging", "re-death". When you understand that "every party ends in a hangover", you tell yourself that "less is more", you will grow there. As I said, what is true in the "small" is true in the Absolute Meaning and Significance. Further then, "if you are Enlightened", you know how "the Enlightened One has it". Further then, there is not "some speed" - that is mere appearance. The moment the form "I" (cause) arises, this gives rise to the form "mine" (friend, enemy, partner, lover, father, mother, etc.). The moment the idea of "two forms" arises, the idea of "distance between them" arises; the moment this idea arises, the idea of "time" that is needed for these forms to "approach" each other arises, and with this arises the idea of "speed" (effect). This is the Relative of Emergence - in other words, the Contingent in the sense of "without this, there is no this". Thus, without the formation of the idea of "I" there is no idea of "speed".
(i) "I know Lucy said that you take on the suffering of your pupils, but there's no getting away from that either?" - this is already a smartassery from you. You're like one who questions but tests me at the same time - which again means you're not Awakened. If you were, you would see me Clearly and Unbiasedly. And even if you didn't see me, and had Humility, you would ask, "Lumiere, I heard... is that right? Could you please tell me something about that?" And not "A grandmother said, and there's no getting away from it?" You just "grab" something you hear, and you're already building a story out of it, and you're going "I have this story about you, isn't it possible to do such and such?" It is possible, with what has already been said, it is clear that Absolute Enlightenment can be realized through Insight into All Knowledge - it can't even be called "letting go", it is more about understanding that there is nothing to let go of.
j) "For our souls are here precisely to try, to experience, and that is called life. And it is infinite. Until you decide otherwise." - If you were Awakened, you would understand what the Law of Impermanence, the sign of "not-self," and the Four Noble Truths are. Then you would understand that the idea of "soul" is a Mental Concept that you cling to - you wish it existed, and when it does exist, you wish for "some interesting story for the soul." It is all your "desire" that is not governed by the Wisdom of the Buddha. Your Way is to direct yourself THROUGH the Spirit, that is the Teaching of the Buddha. You will continue to desire, as I, for example, now desire to write to you - but the difference between us is that I am not DEPENDENT on my desire, you are. You "had to write to me" because you don't have the Ultimate Answer - I do, and I have no questions for anyone. Those who suffer, question me, for the purpose of not suffering anymore. I am a Physician, more important than any worldly type of physician, because I give the Ultimate Cure for All Pain, and that is not given by just anyone, Buddha Maitreya, yes. Yes, the suffering called "worldly life" is as infinite as "Nirvana", except that such a being who has the Knowledge of the Buddha does not suffer, and vice versa. And as low as the degree of Insight into Omniscience is, so low is the degree of suffering, and vice versa. Yes, before you decide otherwise - I wish you only Happy Choices for you - while you can continue to crave, craving is only a problem until you handle it wisely. k) "Yes, you can stop being born, but then what is the meaning? Anastasia writes that the most important of the cosmic laws is to improve the living space, i.e. to improve oneself. This means to influence other people and to set an example for them. If you interrupt this, you have no one to teach, which in turn contradicts the cosmic law. That's why the end of incarnation feels like an ism to me, but with your conviction I understand that you can say the same about me.." - that's just it, it has no meaning, it's you who gives it meaning. Anastasia is not wrong, but she is on a lower level of knowledge than Buddha. She suffers from the idea that she needs to "improve something and someone", this is the limitation that clings to the "perfect Slavic lineages". I myself come from a Slavic lineage, yet I have transcended it. Thomas Merlin Jezek realized Perfection, he himself had a "problem with the genera", he was very angry with me. Ask him, he will give you specific Instructions on how to overcome it, there is no better person I can recommend in this regard than one who has faced the same thing - so you will also check with another Buddha "what is the Seeing". In this way you will gain your experience, and Liberate yourself. You don't understand the Law of the Universe, so you think "not seeing" is contrary to it. You do not (yet) have the dimension to understand that there are Higher States of Existence than this one, to which you rigidly cling, therefore you question from the place of its framework, without acknowledging the Existence of High Perfect Beings, without whose Will, Tenacity, and Determination and Enlightenment, I could not now impart DHARM to you here. As I said, you do not see me. You say "with your conviction I understand that you can say the same about me", and it is not wrong, it is a measure of your insight, you already have respect here. But what you don't understand is that I don't "suffer from convictions", I don't hold any, thus I don't have a "weapon" to sword "against your kin". I have a Vision that sees Limitations, and because I see it, I fully Understand it, and I am not subject to it. And it is available to anyone who cares, who puts in the effort, and invests in Evolving... and doesn't get stuck on "what seems nice". Nothing against the Slavs, I was just saying today that it's the best there is here on Earth... but... they have their limitations... they don't understand that a being can Realize a Higher Knowledge than theirs without necessarily having to go through "their way" - they suffer from a certain degree of superiority, but again, that's not wrong, for "genera" of any kind, that degree of instinct is perfectly natural. It's "protection" from "attack" by another "species" - thus creating an "egregor species" that actually "wishes to be attacked by another species" - that's DUALITY, that's KARMA. Buddha recognizes no caste, he gives opportunity to all beings without distinction, short, tall, short, fat, thin, yellow, black, white, and I don't know what... Buddha doesn't mean "You are an Aryan, therefore you can understand better", no, Buddha has the experience that the so called Aryans get so caught up in their "truth" that one who is not an aryan usually understands the Dharma more easily than one who rigidly considers himself an aryan. But this is not a problem of aryan alone, it is a problem of "clinging to one's class - caste", it may as well be a caste of plumbers.
l) "This is what I keep thinking about. There are many paths that should lead to one goal, but I see two goals and I am not quite clear which one to identify with, so far my theory wins and I don't see the point in yours. No matter how much I read your posts, talk to Lucia, I'm still not convinced." - The ideal is to not identify with anything, that's "faith" and as we know "faith is shaky". It's one thing you believe this, then that, as one just "commands" or "besieges" you. That's what you see in being ACCOUNTABLE for yourself!!! You need to start looking at the world through different eyes, the eyes of Compassion "What state of suffering is the being who is telling me what he is telling me?". If you wonder like that, you will be horrified "what you anticipate from whom as your belief". Look with that gaze, for example, at beings that society considers "successful". After all, it doesn't matter what they have "achieved" to the eye... if you look closely, in the eyes, you will find that unprocessed pain and injustice (the cause) literally flows from them. Why? They don't have Buddha Knowledge, they are not Independent beings... Why? Because of their Ignorance, Envy, Jealousy, Greed, their HEARTS are burdened and laden with HATE... (the result). Thus I repeat to you that the Knowledge of the Buddha is, both for you and for every being who wishes to LOVE himself, a NECESSITY... it is not otherwise. I am telling you that the Buddha is the only being who has never lied to me. And who wishes to find the Truth of All, to whom else would he go but to the One who has REALIZED it? I am Fortunate to have Recognized my Masters... without them I would not have been able to bestow Grace on myself... I think your theory is shot to hell... ;)
j) You don't understand that the "concept of man" is one of the developmental stages that the Buddha went beyond to the Ultimate stage (in the sense of the Realization of Absolute Ultimate Wisdom). Duality is the "game of good and evil", Enlightenment is the end of this game. The end of this game is the One Good. You are not to live any life in "joy", that is astray. It is the same lie as the one that you are here to "lead a successful life", but what kind of life, when it is already obvious with your birth that you are going to die? It is impossible to realize "success" or "failure" here, all you realize is that you DREAM about it. You are not supposed to see the difference between joy and misery, that is Happiness. It is not possible to "take life as joy", that is Sleep, that is the suffering of one who does not acknowledge his suffering... that is non-love for himself...
With love and respect
May All Beings be Happy!!!
