'Really?'

I notice I use the word 'really' quite allot, as in 'what do you 'really' think/feel etc, etc. But it's all an illusion, we know that too those of us that have touched the void. We know for sure that what is true in our mind is true until that particular truth is replaced by another (deeper?) more meaningful truth. And so it goes on. So in a sense from that perspective there is only what we believe, and therefore how we behave as a result of that belief, or what we 'choose' to dismiss as the truth and act accordingly.

We know that religion (s) are vast and complex systems, all based on beliefs. In other words you need to believe it to belong to it. There are vast tracts and texts going back thousands of years with varying degrees of proof that such and such a person lived and told us this that or the other, and that if we follow this particular person (God) we may to see and experience what (they) did.

It's not so long ago that people's believed that the Earth was flat, not so long ago when we consider that man has been present on the planet for 10's of thousands of years. In the nineteenth century there is evidence that much of the world believed this to be the case. Now look at us!

We can look at the facts and twist and make them fit our scheme of things if we really try, and anything that doesn't fit into that framework can be rejected as 'probably not being relevant to us'.

As I said yesterday I/we all of us are so clever, we can fit our frame of reference to suit us at anytime. But underlying all of this 'waffle' is there a 'supreme reality'?

It is only by being prepared to go through the different levels of our thinking reality, and on through our feeling reality that we begin to see the multidimensional layers of 'who we are' and 'who we have been' and more importantly (i reckon) 'who we are becoming and or want to be'.

If there are no parameters or templates for an ultimate reality the way we know it, then in a sense we 'choose' it surely. And in this choosing, which we are all doing all the time anyway, we are becoming, either consciously or unconsciously, somebody. As we awaken and go (deeper?) we may choose again, trying to find the template for our own unfolding purpose, then we will not have to worry about happy or unhappy, we will just be us, no conflict, no problem.

The system of yoga is nothing more or less that the instruction or operating manual for your own nervous system.

Good old Bob :)
