The weapon of the surrounded samurai
Samurais were taught to engage in lightning speed with their enemies, by realising the great one.
The great one, who has been known by many names, by many cultures and systems of belief, who lives as all of us, inside each one of us, as, ourselves, masquerading as 'time', is playing a game.
The great one plays 1, then 0, then 1. She/he/it measures themselves as the illusion of measured time -- when if he/she/it would look, would find themselves to be, time.
This game is a 10101 binary game, and it is the great one playing 'self and other'...even when he/she/it is beyond both and neither.
Why? Because from a young age we are taught to 'identify' with an 'identity'; a name, a role or many. We are like cookie cutters piercing into the dough of the great one, and cutting out stars, letters on a screen (forgeting the screen), tables, bottles, graphs, equations, and yes, even 'ourselves', thinking we have made something other than dough.
​
(Forgetting we are putting ourselves in the oven in the process!)
For the 'I' by "definition", suffers.
[I mean the process of 'defining', or as I like to think of it:
'de'-'finitization', or taking the infinite, and constrain-ting it so as to give oneself the illusion of working with a 'finite delineated domain'.]
Thatcher was only half right when she said 'society doesnt exist'. She forgot to mention neither does the individual (if you think you're just individual, read up on the influence of what your mirror neurons {which cannot tell the difference between self and other, this is how you 'become' Messi/player when you watch a game} do to your persona -- and how radically different environments have different trajectories on 'individual' development).
For the great one, being neither only social or only individual, is a totality.
Those who have fallen deeply into the built neuroDigital code edifice of self-and-other, masquerading as 'the individual', society, culture, belief systems will always try to convince us of this 'I'-ness (your 'high-ness'... ;))
When fundamentally...we are... neuroAnalog, i.e. momment to momment experience.
The 'I' can never be a noun, the great one is always a verb.
There are no nouns.
Name me a noun, that is not also simultaneously a verb, can you?
Not even 'Pro' nouns (study physics and you will know from the quantum to the molecular, to the mass molecular, nothing is fundamentally static).
[By the time you have uttered it would would have been in verb form].
The great one is not a belief or a set of beliefs...for believing, is not 'be' 'living'.
The great one cannot be named, identified, differentiated or reified... for to do so is to immediately dive into the 1010s.
S/He...are/is... all variables everywhere, interacting all at once to create what we usually term as 'now'. As soon as we identify with an 'I' are we still within now? Are we riding the surf of the great wave of time? Or lagging slightly behind?
Notice, this now, is observed always as a 'who'. But who is this 'who'?
The great one is not a 'who'. S/He is not a 'is'-ness.
The great one is.
To discover this you have to dive into the loch-of-'ness' or all objects, even the subject as an object.
Keep the 'ive' from subjective. The 'ive' from objective. Remove the 'having' from 'Ive', and let the great one (L)-ive.
Another word for Live-ing is Love-ing. I suppose I'm asking you, what would it be like to fall in love, and just stay that way?
The great one is the hidden true north of the seemingly differentiated vectors of the heart. The computer, behind com-passion.
The great one cannot express themselves, because to do so is to be differentiated as output and input. The great one stays put.
All variables, vibrating, together, not as a thought, not as a concept, but as a fundamental embodied experience of who we are, ever evolving.
The deity of deities, cannot be simply an 'identity', because this 'I'-dents-deity.
So don't fret. Done get anxious. Worrying is a misuse of imagination. Don't 'try' to look, because 'you' you will not find. How can you when 'you', you already are?
The great one is already there before sight, already gone upon casting the mind's torchlight.
Just be. Relax. Deeply allow yourself to relax. Deeply allow yourself, to be you.
Authenticity without authorship.
Let the words pour.
Realize without ownership.
Realize there is no ownership. It is all temporary access.
We do not even own ourselves.
Therefore, there is nothing, and no one to hold onto.
And thus, no one to search for.
Not even the great one.
So,
Let go.
You already to yourself, deeply belong.
It is the wisdom of insecurity;
the power of improvisation over scripting.
Searching for absolute security
in a world and self in flux
is a recipe for suffering
(take the ironic the consequences of the 'war on terror' and subsequent securitization in protecting our freedoms; how many of yours have you given up to date?).
Prepare, but don't have faith in high walls,
guards, societally observed promises on paper,
or religious scripture, for your security.
​
Trust and have faith in the great one.
Realize this deeply,
and you will experience the most radical act of love.
Breath with him/her.
Actions will come of their own accord.
'Thinking' will come as and when it is needed.
Effort will come as it is required.
Nothing requires 'you' pushing or pulling it there.
It all happens by itself.
Realisation, meditation, prayer, ritual, gathering evidence, insight, philosophical self inquiry/discovery, yoga are just methods, tools, to go behind this mask, and ask 'who's there?'.
However, if the great one were always themselves, the game would get utterly boring!
And so the 1010 option exists.
Even though you, and all that is, are beyond both '1' and '0'.
As such it should never become the default mode.
Don't you get bored of yourself?
'I' do. ;)
