Every being comes into this world with past karma from infinite past lives.  There is no beginning and no end to consciousness.  Consciousness or Original mind, Buddha nature, Tao, as well as its manifestation or ALL that we sense is what we are.  However, we don’t attach to this thing that we are.  We move beyond Being and Learn to Function.  Since it keeps transforming we really aren’t anything AT all.  

The Indian philosophy of “Net Neti” or “Not this Not That.”  You can’t pin your existence down.  But this Must be realized through practice and STILLING your mind so YOU can KNOW.  I can describe the taste of something but Until YOU taste it it’s just words.

We come into being Not as a BLANK SLATE.  We are NOT innocent!  We have committed the worse of all crimes many times over and over in the course of immeasurable time past!  So when WE Decide to take control of our destiny, we need to face all this STUFF!  We have also done much virtuous acts, and good deeds, ESPECIALLY those who encounter Deeper teachings like the ONES on this blog.  Remember the Blind Sea turtle poking its head through a Hole in a wooden plank in the Vast Ocean?  Yeah, that’s how fortunate you are In This life!  

But that’s only a part of it!  Are you practicing?  Are you giving back somehow?  Don’t waste this precious opportunity to Free yourself!  All these lives and NOW finally you know about Sutras which are about life, not about Buddhism!  You know these are all names!  But if you don’t practice you’re wasting your opportunity!  Who knows how long it WILL be before you see these teachings again and ALL the suffering which you might endure!  All because you wasted this chance!

Now about the title, here’s a great quote by Bruce Lee to START with:

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”

So what happens when we begin to realize ALL these truths through study and practice?  We begin to SEE life for what it is.  We’ve lived in the dark for endless lives and when some light, wisdom, insight begins to shine shit begins to hit the fan!  The universe likes things to be a certain way!  What way?  Well, I have told you people HAVE a Herd Mentality!  We like things a certain way!  Change is bad!  Light, wisdom, truth, YOUR TRUTH is bad.  

WE will ALL one day become enlightened to some degree, as there are degrees to Enlightenment!  Whether in this life or a GAZZLION lives from now!  We just like LIGHT in SMALL doses!  Some aren’t ready for High teachings, so simple ones are given!  It exposes them to truth that they are able to Chew and EAT without getting an upset stomach!  

We have all been at that stage, where simple teachings were all WE could tolerate, so we should understand!!!  But let go of understanding!  Let go let go let go!  Offer offer offer!  And keep Doing Good deeds great and small!

So when a person starts to go against what the Universe is comfortable with The universe gets UPSET!  Yes, it gets angry!  Shit hits the fan!  That’s the meaning!  Because now you are more aware, you see all this!  It was always there, now you know!  

We were all deluded, and thought life was about comfort and ease, not caring, My life, my house, my cars, my land, me me me!  And now you see all this is just  A DREAM!  Your DREAM!  You are in control, and life is nothing but YOUR OWN MIND!  But we don’t attach to descriptions of anything!  That’s part of the dream!  We keep letting go, and just see, just be natural, or witness.

Remember this is just my way of describing things.  The THING is not a description!  I try to describe our situation in different ways to reach different Minds!  Some descriptions appeal greatly to some people and not so much to others!  Don’t attach to words, let go.  

So what did I just describe above?  Here is the summary:

We are consciousness, and all is that, but That, or consciousness keeps transforming!
We are not a blank slate; we have come into being and brought with us past karma Good and Bad.
“Neti Neti” or “Not this Not that,” an Indian philosophy teaches us that we Can’t pin things down! (Good to look up and study to understand this blog and your mind).
The universe Follows karma, it goes with the flow, it ignorantly or BLINDLY is led by the fruits of it’s own CREATED karmic Destiny, NOT even being aware of this!  So when you become aware, YOU upset the Universe!  Beings, the universe, likes light in SMALL DOSES!  You have chosen to study and practice DEEP TEACHINGS!  You are going against THE DESTINY you created through PAST Actions!  You creating a new DREAM!  

You’ve decided to stop and take a look at what your life is.  Karma is relentless!  You just cultivate and BE your own Master!  Little by little, you will!  Easy or hard, who cares, you know all this information now, is it worth it?  I hope your answer is a confident YES!  

Study, Neti Neti philosophy from the Indian school of Advaita.  Also study karma and all the different theories!  I give you tools.  The work is YOURS!
