Faith & Form. . . .

. . . . All form is limited. And what most religious people call faith is in reality doubt.



Martin Luther talked a lot about faith in his day. He also wrote a hymn. It goes,

Ein Fest Burg ist Unser Goti

It means, "A mighty fortress is our god."

That is NOT a hymn of Faith. A person of faith does not need a fortress, they are not on the defensive.

Real Faith is not a belief.

A belief is a doubt. It would be impossible to hold one without also holding the other. Two halves of one coin.

If you have real faith you don't need belief. In fact, the depths of ones Faith can be measured in direct proportion to that individuals lack of beliefs. . . . . . .and the majority of people who claim a religious faith have that completely upside down the majority of the time.

People seek to give God, absolute reality, infinity a form, and in so doing they limit it. As all form is limited, and what is infinite is by its very nature without limits. So the form itself causes the divine to appear obstructed.

Tremendous lack of faith leaves such a hole inside that the individuals dogma is no longer enough to delay the fear of the unknown. And so consensus is sought. This is called Evangelism. And these types of people are often missionaries.



"You search the scriptures daily for in them you think you have life."

People who worship the Bible, (or any other written sets of symbols) are in reality worshiping a form. And ALL forms become idols the moment they are worshiped. So they are idol worshiping. . .it is idolatry.

"The letter kills but the spirit gives life."
- the apostle Paul


After all the word for a thing is NOT the thing itself. . .the description is NOT the described.

Being NO single form, but in fact ALL forms, does in fact present forms that are fierce. . . . and forms that offer sanctuary.



Thank you Kali Ma.

Good scientists have far more Faith then most religious people do.

A good scientists will say, "my mind is open to the truth, whatever the truth turns out to be. And, I may have a hypothesis in mind as to what the truth may be, and I am going to test it."

That is true Faith.

Faith is also trusting yourself to water. . . learning to surf is an act of Faith. Swimming can be an act of Faith. . . .to stay afloat you have to learn to relax, to let go, and not to cling or hold tight. If you hold tight, if you cling, you will drown.

A person who is a fanatic in religion, who believes certain concepts, dogma, or belief systems about the universe and the idea of God, and who clings tight and holds strong to those concepts. . .that person is NOT a person of Faith.

In fact they hold no Faith at all.

That clinging and holding tight IS the dominant religious worlds actual definition of Faith. . . . and it is of course, totally backwards.

Faith is not clinging. Faith IS openness.
Faith is not holding tight. Faith IS letting go.


The trust in God, or an absolute reality, that one cannot conceive of in any way. . .is a far higher form of Faith than fervent clinging to a god or reality of which you have a definite conception of.



Mary Magdalene who loved Jesus very much, is said to have seen him after his resurrection. . .and she ran to him to hold him.

And he said, "Do not touch me."

But the Greek word hatir means to cling to. . . "Don't cling to me." . . . .has a different feel doesn't it?

The Buddhist word Nirvana actually means to 'breathe out'. . .letting GO is the actual manifestation of true Faith.

It isn't that real Christians have not known this. Theologica Mystica was written in the 6th century by an Assyrian monk named Dionysius Exigus, and it is still considered a fundamental sourcebook by modern Christians. . . . in that book he calls the highest state of knowing God, AGONSTOS which is a Greek word meaning "UNKNOWING".

Form. . . . .ALL Form is Limited.

Anything their is self identification with is ignorance.

All forms you take yourself to be are just concepts. Concepts are a form, and forms are limited.



This does not mean that all forms are not honored. I can honor the form, and I can honor the limitations of that form. I can be thankful to that form, and all forms. . . .as form and what is beyond form are in reality one and the same. . .and the one always brings me back home to the other.

Thank you form.

Again we are back to the idea of real Surrender.

Surrender has no plan. Surrender doesn't hustle, try and manipulate, or set goals. Surrender knows better.

Surrender is to what IS, which is always NOW and always HERE.

In stating that truth their is a fear by some that it leaves the individual complacent. That it will have negative consequences on that persons life. Or that it rationalizes away some assumed guilt that person should have. Wouldn't you just lay in bed? Where is the will to "achieve"?

But as usual, that is totally backwards and inside out.

If I work in the factory and I surrender to that fact, and I say "Ok I surrender, I am a factory worker. I will get used to it." Does that not therefore mean I will be less likely to pursue more education, or achieve other dreams I may hold?



The answer is maybe you will stay a factory worker, and maybe you wont. But regardless it will not be due to that surrender. No surrender took place. What took place was an adding of a concept into a belief system. . .the concept of "I am a factory worker.". . . . .that is just another form, and I am NOT THAT either.

Surrender does not mean surrendering one form for yet another form, or one belief for another belief.

Surrender is to the moment of NOW, and all it encompasses.

It requires the letting go of all concepts and ideas. . .not the replacement of them with other concepts and ideas.

And what happens beyond that i cannot know.

But we chase the bigger house, nicer car, different partner, larger bank account, better performance, and "positive" image. . . .until we again become frustrated with the limitations of the new form. All form is limited. And in that frustration we seek more, and more, and more. . .until we realize it is never the 'right' form. It can never bring real happiness, real peace.

Until I realize it is beyond form, through form, and surrender to that. And then I am truly free.



Again and again it comes back to a total letting go of our own will to have a plan, to set a 'goal', or to cling to form, to hold a concept, to make, want, or need the moment to be anything other then what is now.

That is not giving up faith. . . that is real Faith right side up.

The real I is the totality of everything I am aware of, and a great deal besides.


A questioner asks: "I meditate neti - neti (not this - not this)".

Ramana: "No, that is not meditation. Find the source. You must reach the source without fail. The false 'I' will disappear and the real 'I' will be realized. The former cannot exist apart from the later."

Free will. . . .

. . . . most human beings take for granted the belief that they have it.



It is the source of a great deal of thought, corner stone to a massive amount of belief systems, and required baggage for all forms of bigotry.

It is a subject matter that a large percentage of the population will not allow themselves to contemplate. And that alone tells me I need to spend time with it.



"The initial configuration of the universe may have been chosen by God, or it may itself have been determined by the laws of science. In either case, it would seem that everything in the universe would then be determined by evolution according to the laws of science, so it is difficult to see how we can be masters of our fate."
- Stephen Hawking


That one can learn from experience, and in that learning can understand probabilities that may arise from a given action, and in that understanding of probability, effect a change in the programming, and in that change, the events themselves may change. . . . . .yes that is all clearly true.

It just doesn't mean that "you" are ever doing, or the cause, of any of "it". And it certainly doesn't mean there is any kind of 'choice'.



In other words when it comes to the 'force' of 'will', its not about whether you can do what you choose to do. . .it is about whether you even choose your own choices, and whether the choice itself was ever optional.

Also stated, though it may 'appear' that you make a choice, the appearance itself may just be one more part of the programming.

"Everything in nature is the result of fixed laws."
- Charles Darwin


What if we call the body hardware, and we called thought-knowledge-conditioning, software-programming. The combination of the two, hardware (the body-DNA), and software (thought-conditioning) creates outputs. . .the outputs appear as "decisions-events-choices". . . . and the outputs serve as further programs for itself and others.

And in that, the output can ONLY be according to the programming (nature & nurture) . . .and in that, where is any "choice"?



And furthermore, who's choice was it?

And if it was Y's choice, or Z's choice. . .WHO made the choice that brought Y & Z to that point? And who made that choice?

"Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."
- Albert Einstein


If it sounds like determinism, then you may be seeing things upside down.



What I think is being described above is actually pure freedom.

How would a true understanding of the above stated ideas really
affect what occurs?

I believe the answer to that would be TOTAL forgiveness for ones self, and all others.



But at this point it is important to note I am only guessing. On really good days I have moments which are free of any guessing. But most of the time, I am just guessing.

In otherwords, I don't think it is that we don't know.
I think it is that we forget.

"You will say that I feel free. This is an illusion, which may be compared to that of the fly in the fable, who, upon the pole of a heavy carriage, applauded himself for directing its course. Man, who thinks himself free, is a fly who imagines he has power to move the universe, while he is himself unknowingly carried along by it."
- Baron d'Hobach


I can't give what's left to make a choice a name, because at EVERY given MOMENT it IS EVERYTHING.



Any name separating IT from THAT would be dishonest.

"Everything happens through immutable laws, ...everything is necessary... There are, some persons say, some events which are necessary and others which are not. It would be very comic that one part of the world was arranged, and the other were not; that one part of what happens had to happen and that another part of what happens did not have to happen. If one looks closely at it, one sees that the doctrine contrary to that of destiny is absurd; but there are many people destined to reason badly; others not to reason at all; others to persecute those who reason."
- Voltaire


I believe that is also rational because action is event, and any-thing can create an action. Therefore, the only limitation could be infinity*

*(more on that later.)

"In the mind there is no absolute or free will; but the mind is determined to wish this or that by a cause, which has also been determined by another cause, and this last by another cause, and so on to infinity."
- Baruch Spinoza




So with that I have to ask myself why it wasn't taught before in a practical way for the masses, and then I realize it is. It is just not always expressed in such an obvious and open way. I think sometimes it is meant to sneak up on people. As every act based on anger, pride, envy, greed, and violence is done under the auspices of"free will". . .the corner stone belief is that of an-other who can make choices and in so doing hurt you, or "deserves" a certain FATE.

And that concept. .FATE. . can only exist with the belief of FREE WILL.

Without one, the other is not possible.



And what is left without either is what interests me.

Test It.
Go into it yourself,
and see.
Every moment is every-thing





"Destiny and free will, their interplay lasts only so long as one does not enquire "WHO is it that is bound?" and "WHO is it that is free?"
- Ramana

Skepticism . . . .

. . . . has to be one of the highest virtues.

After all, it is the quality which will always precede future journeys of growth.



What I mean to say is that it seems logical that we can grow without skepticism, but only if we where completely unburdened by any preconceived concept or belief system.

How many of us can say that?

As humans we need to find ways which offer comfort and distraction from the unknown. Beliefs about the unknown, even the belief that these beliefs themselves are not purposeful. . . . all need to fall away, before we are really free to examine and face what may be there.

So in that sense I am suggesting that everything should be called into exception, absolutely everything.

This is where skepticism comes in to the picture. It is the sign that a belief system, idea, or concept, is being vigorously questioned. And that can never be a bad thing. Examination, realization, transformation, the process has to begin with skepticism, and skepticism plays a key role in all it's dealings.



If you have read this BLOG for awhile then you may have come to the misconclusion that I have fallen prey to the "new age" ideas. But that would be backwards.

The poorly researched, often shady, quackery of the new age movement serves the same essential role that the upside down, often spiteful, theology of the fundamentalist religions do.

They both serve as institutions which through carefully placed heresy, irrational ideologies, and obvious hypocrisies, move individuals into a realm of deep skepticism. A skepticism which will serve as fuel along the path of real human growth and spirituality.



Repression always creates a curiosity and stirs desire. It always has, and always will. That is no secret is it?

Since it is used over and over again, that is also clearly its purpose.

The desire steers experience down a certain course, and we call that reality.

So in order to keep that game going, to fuel societies needs for evolution and freedom, fundamentalist religions help produce the radicals which will eventually move the culture into a future through the use of dynamic quality that the static institutions themselves can, and will, never know.

In otherwords, the next time you decide to thank someone for the high rates of sexual promiscuity, drug use, and self esteem issues, make sure you include people like Jerry Falwell. Without them it would be so much harder to keep a certain element of our population involved in activities which can do them harm.



Said another way, preachers are there to push societies rules out of fashion. It is what they do best. And they always do it by pretending* to defend those same rules.

*(note that this does not mean any particular individual knows they are serving the otherside.)



Faith is backwards and fundamentalist morality is upside down. But when you know the outcome, you stop the game.

Now about the "new age". . . I will use the example of a movie I have mixed feelings on. The movie is "What the bleep do we know?!" What I really loved about the film was that alternative theological views where reaching large masses of people which may have otherwise never heard such things. What I disliked was the loose way it strung its ideas together, and its poor use of science.

In the movie several well known and respected physicists are interviewed on the subject of quantum physics. Mixed in with these experts in their field is a chiropractor named Joe Dispenza, and a women who claims to channel a being named "Ramtha". Mr Dispenza relates several ideas about the brain which hold no scientific basis.

Isn't it clear, cutting edge theories about the brain are best left to the scientists who are highly educated on that particular topic. And I mean no offense to chiropractors, but that probably rules many of them out doesn't it?



Next we see the work of a man named Masura Emoto. Mr Emoto claims to have taped words to the outside of water bottles. And that the water then forms crystals which spell out the words. The reality is of course that the water is frozen, which is where the crystals come from, and there has been no replication by any scientists, no control groups, and no publications in peer reviewed scientific journals of his work. . . . . .and that can be said for a large percentage of the things which are peddled in the name of the "New Age".



"The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back."

When the director of the movie, along with Mr Dispenza where invited to Portland State University to have a discussion related to 'Free Will' they where shown a photo of a downsyndrome child and asked if this child was free to "create any reality" he wanted? The director responded that he is in fact to blame as he is paying for digression's from a previous life. And with that poorly articulated explanation of reincarnation and karma the director also showed himself to be an amateur in the field of Hindu and Buddhist doctrine; and not just science.



Isn't it obvious that these above mentioned folks do engage invaluable work. . .but it is always for the otherside.

They help tear apart the beliefs they claim to uphold by refusing to examine what they actually mean. . . .and this makes others / you have to do it.

It is beautiful really.

Free will is the concept which I believe ties much of this together. The idea of free will is the corner stone of all the marketing which pours out for the new age movement, all fundamentalist religions, and pop psychology. All three begin with the concept of individual choice, and then proceed to offer methods by which an individual can gain increases in health, wealth, and various forms of power.



All three prey off of desire, fuel further desire, and require a certain self deception in order to operate.

"Whenever we identify with a need or desire, everything and everyone else becomes an object to achieve that desire."

Just as the majority of modern "self help"* books promise a world which will act like a candy store, where every individual is "free" to "choose" as they see fit, free to choose any thought, feeling, or emotion they want. . . .So to do the old patriarchal fundamentalist religions offer a world of black and white. A universe where one can choose eternal damnation, or eternal life in paradise. A universe that is run by a giant anthropomorphic old man, and all you need to do to gain his favor is follow "their" rules-church-dogma-belief.



And so to does much of the "new age". . .with its pseudo science, misunderstood mythology, and appeals to the individual ego. It promises increases in health, wealth, and power, just as fundamentalist religion does, but maskes it under the guise of the words self development, or personal growth.

And that is where much of the new age and much of pop psychology merge. . the "free will" become a player intersection. . ..and in that merging they serve the same purpose to society. . . .they create healthy skepticism in those ready to carry it.

They do it by means of their persistent use of irrational thought, repression, guilt, and refusal to surrender to the greater human spirit. The spirit of love, which has no rules, and promises nothing.



"Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of an actor within it."

The Buddha often told people to never believe a word he said. No matter what was said, or who said it, to test everything. That not only was blind faith not helpful in these matters, it was in actuality harmful.

And I think we can examine it for ourselves and with a certain dose of common sense see that he was absolutely right. . . .. . .skepticism is crucial.



In staying sincere to the search for truth what possible conflict could ever be had with real science?

And in staying true to that purpose of truth how can we pass on an irrational guilt based on an unexamined notion of free will?

And in staying true to that purpose how can we continue to believe Adam and Eve where actually real flesh covered human beings that walked in a garden filled with with friendly animals. . . . .and that when Jesus said, "I am the vine and you are the branches" he was talking about everyone but you.

And what I really want to write about is Indra's Net, and Freedom, and Love. . .so I will see what happens, and that is the truth.



We can't push away the world. We have to enter into life fully in order to become free.

Aliveness, Eros, & Truth. . . .

. . . .St Francis of Assisi said. .

"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

Funny use of words that is. The 'when necessary' part I find meaningful. It makes me wonder how one one would know it was necessary? So I will see if I can offer an answer by the end of this BLOG entry.



The weekend prior to the camp here in Portland I was blessed with getting to meet Robert Thurman. For those unfamiliar with his work he is most noted for being the first non Tibetan monk, is a popular scholar and professor in the USA, has written many marvelous books. . .and yes, he is Uma Thurmans father.

I have read his books, and seen him speak on video many times before. So I had an idea what an engaging speaker the man can be. He speaks with a passion that can only come from a combination of extreme intellectual knowledge, coupled with an absolute sincerity in the truth in which he is trying to relate. That is a tough combination to beat. However, even with that background I was truly blown away by the hour or so of informal speaking he engaged in. Without any notes, pauses, or hints at awkwardness he gave the best Dharma talk I have ever heard. The entire audience was on their seat, laughing, smiling, clapping, HEARING. . . .as a public speaker I was left in awe at what I had just observed.



As the weeks have passed since I have thought of all the speakers and authors that woke up a certain curiosity in me, or opened a new door of understanding for me. I think of Jung, Krishnamurti, Whitman, Dass, Thurman, Leary, and Watts.

Of all of them, none captured my attention the way Alan Watts did. His books have had a MAJOR impact on my life. And his lectures remain one of the most entertaining things you will ever see.

I have to also admit I am somewhat partial. That is, every author or speaker will write and speak in a way which reaches one audience, or "type" of individual, more then others will. This is natural. It is in fact the beauty of diversity. For me that type is the jester, the trickster, what Native Americans would call the coyote. No role stretches the players that confront it more then this. And I will take one of these teachers over twenty of the stoic, stern, moral duty types. None of those more serious types would ever dare pick up the cross of the mystic tricksters. They know it would be way to heavy for them to shoulder.



I remember watching Watts on his black and white television show. With one hand holding a cigarette, and one hand on what looked like a small shot of whiskey, he would stand in front of diagrams he would draw to explain non duality, atman, Buddhism, vedanta, christianity, on a white board, or large piece of butchers paper. He always expressed himself in a rational and articulate way about philosophy, religion, and enlightenment. But there was always a bit of British humor, and wink in the eye.

Hear this:

"The joyous task which confronts an ethic of spontaneity, however difficult it may be, is quite literally to woo people out of their armed shells."
-Alan Watts

If ever I felt I had read a mission statement for my life, that would be it.

Here is a bit more:

"The liberative artist plays the part of Orpheus by living in the mode of music instead of the mode of language. His entire activity is dancing, rhythm for its own sake, and in this way he becomes a vortex which draws others into its pattern. He charms their attention from then to now, absorbing them into a rhythm in which survival ceases to be the criterion of value. It is by this attraction, and not by direction or commandment, that he is sought out as a teacher in the way of liberation."

That is Alan Watts.



You have to love these teachers, they are all that is good in life. So the next time one crosses your path, asking to bum a cigarette, or encouraging you to dance a little. . .buy them a drink at least. It will be good karma.

Alan Watts also wrote a lot about things like Ethics, and Eros. . .

Eros: - "Eros" is a form of Love, a movement towards union/communion, towards rapture and rapport and joyful interpenetration. "Eros" a type of love that seeks fulfillment without injury or violation of some other." IE:Many contemporary anarchists look to Eros as the solution to modern problems.

Watts stated: "When cultural disciplines are in the service of Eros, ethics are transformed from the rules of repression into the technique of expression, and morality becomes the aesthetics of behavior."



Ethics: - "Ethics" are the rules, agreements and guidelines we abide by as we play the games (the cultural disciplines) that make up our lives. We're free to break the rules if we so choose. (Of course this may end the game and the relationships that the game makes possible). An ethical limit must involve a voluntary choice. (There is no ethic of gravity.)

In another book, Watts has written: "All questions of religion and ethics are really questions as to what are optimal game rules."

The function of ethics is not directive, but advisory and suggestive. Their creative use can no more be prescribed than we can write down simple instructions for making masterpieces of poetry or painting



When cultural disciplines are in the service of Eros... i.e., when we live in a society that generates love and compassion with the focus and driven that we now summon to build empires and manufacture baubles to pacify ourselves.... Putting cultural disciplines in service to Eros is the key to creating a society that values connection and communion over control and amusement. This is one way of describing the work of the Healing Carnival: we are developing, and proliferating cultural disciplines in the service of Eros. Our mission is to disseminate cultural disciplines of compassion intimacy and Aliveness.

So that is Alan Watts, always thought provoking, always very clear. I'd encourage everyone to download some of his old talks off the web, or check out his many books. If you come from a Christian background, his books "Christianity it's Myths and rituals", and "Beyond Theology", will be enjoyable and educational.



If you are one of those people who wont read such a thing because you already have your religion, or belief system well set. . .ask yourself what scares you? If what you already believe is true, then it will stand under any rational, intellectual scrutiny. If it's not, wouldn't you want to know?

Any person or group that tells you not read something, or worse, forbids it, is a person or group which has something to hide. Find out what that is for yourself. It is the only way.


St Francis stated: "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

And I ask, how one one would know when it was necessary to use words?

And I offer, because you will be.



Questioner: You said yesterday that there exists in the human body a hole as small as a pinpoint, from which consciousness always bubbles out to the body. Is it open or shut?

Ramana: It is always shut, being the knot of ignorance which ties the body to consciousness. When the mind drops away in the temporary Kevala Nirvikalpa it opens, but shuts again. In Sahaja it remains always open.

Questioner: How is it during the experience of 'I-I' consciousness?

Ramana: This consciousness is the key which opens it permanently.

Madness is. . . . .

. . . . believing that someone else, or something else can save you from yourself. Madness is believing someone else is the cause of the suffering you hold. And madness is also halfway home, because at least now you know it's not you that has caused it, or you that can save yourself from it.



What is the one thing that is always guaranteed to create suffering every single time. The one thing that will without a doubt take a moment, any moment, and make it worse.

The answer seems obvious. . .the moment you compare it to any other moment.

Either the distorted past, or the imagined present, either the imagined worse, or imagined better. . .it makes no difference does it.


"Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better." - Vivekananda


Without that chatter of measurement what is left is way too much to confront openly. I base that solely on the fact that it is not. And I speak only for myself, only always. What is faced seems like nothing short of a certain death, also called "unknown". Again, being unconfronted it must therefore be unknown.

Somewhere over time people began repeating a very poorly thought out cliche. . ."Ignorance is bliss." . . . .absolute nonsense.



Ignorance comes from the same root as "ignore". To be ignorant is to ignore something.

What we ignore is pain. . .and their seems to be a billion ways to do it. The only common factor among all of the various ways seems to be the fact that all of them, given time, lead to more pain.

I remember one very common method to ignore pain. . . the creation of a drama. . .one which will capture all our senses, and wrap up the mind in its thoughts. A grand distraction, our own personal soap opera.

This becomes harder to do as time goes by. Like anything else, it requires greater and more frequent doses, and eventually makes us sick.

As it becomes harder we will require what any group of humans needs to feel secure and temporarily safe. . .some form of minor or major consensus. . . .'do you believe what that person said?' 'they are (*^%$@) don't you think?'. . . .otherwise stated. . . ."Please support my judgment of these events, person, people, place, or idea, so that I may continue to convince myself of its reality, and importance, within this life. It helps fuel my drama, and therefore distracts me from having to face (_______) ."



Each eye, alone
half of a pair, drawn into a whole
closed under exhaustion
since from this moment on
the cherished face of the beloved
could only be imagined



I also ask myself. . .what is the one thing that IS, which does not have an opposite?

Zero = 1
Emptiness = Form

Once you go through the list yourself the only rational answer would seem to be. . .

Love

Love is the only thing that has no opposite, no shadow.

Personalities cannot Love. Personalities want something.

Love is something deeper then all that, something beyond the opposites.



Feeling that this is what IS is not the same as knowing it, and may indeed be drama. Heat without light (understanding), can burn. Understanding in an intellectual sense that this is what IS is not the same as knowing it, and may indeed be a drama. Light without heat (feeling) is seen but not felt.

Could it be the light of dynamic wisdom, and the heat of a compassionate heart which when united become Grace.

So I am left with knowing, and with a little reflection I realize that the only way I have ever truly KNOWN anything was by experiencing that 'thing' itself, firstperson.

Then I realize that these two things, the means used to avoid facing the unknown, and the means used to experience ones true self first hand, are exactly one and the same.

Which brings me back to the one thing without an opposite,

Love.



I'll grant you, golden goddess:
he has the joy
of embracing you forever,
without pause,
since he carries your supple body
mixed into his.
Still, inside of him
that three eyed god
is ever burning with sorrow,
for he will never see the gentle light,
Alive with Loving,
in your eyes.
