About me:
..
This is my story and I'm sticking to it.
I confess to having been born in the United States, but I don't share the jingoistic xenophobic values of many of its residents.
It was an accident of birth that put me here, God's joke. (S)he must have been having a great laugh while slipping me into this White Man costume.
What was she thinking to plop me down in the middle of this Capitalistic madhouse?
How did I arrive in this land where money is God and everything is for sale?
How was I born into a place where Mother Earth is considered to be Real Estate to be bought and sold?
I play the game of being a modern United States citizen as much as I have to in order to survive, but I am not totally happy with my role.
I am not at all happy with the fact that we Americans are exploiting poorer people around the world to continue our wasteful destructive lifestyle.
The prevailing belief around here that Americans are better than residents of the rest of the world, that we are closer to God, that we are God's chosen people strikes me as particularly insane.
The human race is one. That is why I feel much pain about what the United States government is doing to people around the world. The government spreading hatred, torturing innocent people, stealing oil, contaminating the planet with depleted uranium, all the while declaring itself a liberator and spreader of democracy.
Within the borders of the United States there is an hypnotic propaganda machine at work keeping the citizenry complacent, docile and believing in the party line.
There are two predominant trains of thought around these parts about our cosmological nature, the Christian and the atheistic.
Christianity, as usually viewed by most practitioners, asserts that we must avoid sin and follow church doctrine so that at some future point we will fly up to Heaven where all problems will be solved. If we fail to follow Church Doctrine we must fear burning in Eternal Hellfire.
The atheistic perspective seems to assert that there is no purpose and there is no meaning to anything. It's all a big accident full of sound and fury but signifying nothing.
I think the Christian and the atheistic perspectives are fairy tales, myths for immature minds.
I think that the very nature of existence is consciousness. I believe that the Universe is not a great machine but is awareness--without beginning or end.
This is inconceivable--because all conceptions cannot encompass it. Thought cannot grasp this pure awareness.
Yet it is always there before and behind every thought.
Descriptions of the state of pure awareness in which the purpose of existence is revealed come from ancient Hindu and Buddhist teachings, from shamanistic writings, from modern day seers, from entheogenic revelations.
From a cosmic perspective all of the pain and suffering in the world is Maya. It is the play of the divine. From this perspective, there is only one Consciousness, one Awareness. This one Consciousness is only playing the game, the illusion of suffering. It seems very real in this moment but at some point the One Mind wakes up to the infinite realization that all suffering as well as all pleasure is just the momentary transmogrification of the eternal changelessness.
Ramakrishna was asked "Why is there suffering in this world?" He replied "To thicken the plot."
So I believe it is our job here in this plane to work to alleviate suffering, but at the same time to know that all will be well regardless of whether we succeed or fail in the short term.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
