The point of origin

[shamanka]

the battle it seems within the tonal today is this idea of squeezing all of our infinite possibilities into one unified whole...for everyone.....

if however you 'travel' to the point of origin...you stand in the nothing, with all infinite choices, yet no associations to them, at your disposal.


there are no 'differences' at this point, there is no duality, no being, there are no lines of thought creation, no choices have been made, no lineages formed, no set ways of doing something,
 no rules, labels, status, expectations or demands, no truths, lies, judgements, love, no malice, no constructs and no structure...... no anything....


there is only the potential of 'the moment'


all freedoms would be acknowledged, all choices understood as perfect and no points to defend. No fixed self to feel important over and no limit could ever be breached because there aren't any created yet. No dimensional walls, no tests, no challenges and no battles. a conscious collective of freedom for all.


Now wouldn't that be sweet?!


An interesting perspective option huh?

"there is only the potential of 'the moment'"
This is freedom.  Pure and simple.  To be able to stand at a point of awareness with no past and no future......no anything.

Great post Shamanka. By the way like your new picture and haircut. There is only the moment by we can relive the moment anytime we want i would add.

Past, future, present---these are glosses (to use a term that CC used in the intro to one of his books, I think) that influence our every moment.  They're not easy to recognize but this morning I was pondering being 'in the moment' and realized how many millions of people live in the gloss of the future.
Specifically relating this to the path of perception: seems that CC presented the path in a future orientation, too, not just himself as the bumbling sorcerer.  Embedded in his syntax and POV was that he would "arrive" at a later date and the down side of that perspective was that the date was never NOW, never in the moment.
Not to rag on CC though---I wonder how many of us do the same thing?  It's such an easy thing to do--always looking at what we want to achieve, what we're aiming for, what we're working towards.  There's such a secondary gain to viewing the world this way!  It means we never quite arrive so we can't be fully responsible for what's happening to us in the current moment.   It's a dangling carrot in front of our noses. 
Sometimes I wonder whether or not the whole concept of "hope" isn't the same thing---an illusion firmly embedded into a future orientation.  To hope for something pushes whatever it is we hope for into the future and prevents us from taking hold of the moment. 
Ramblings on the beach this morning.....

Yes, Jess. I agree the future is right now.  However, it's good to have something to strive for.  In the grand scheme of things it sure doesn't matter, but how many people would just sit on the couch and do nothing if they though (knew) that everything they wanted was right here, right now?
