The human mind
The more one thinks and ponders, the greater the amount of convincing fictions and falsity will birth which one could treat as solid ground.
Thinking itself is a reinforced paradox
With every input in the mind constantly being manipulated. Where does one distinguish what solid ground really is.
To even notice faulsity requires a level of thought
The selfishness of reciprocity
For one to seek and expect reciprocity is a fantasy which will never be achieved consistently. If anything, the opposite prevails.
The deliberate pursuit of reciprocity is selfish.
Pursuing reciprocity deliberately completely undermines its overall possibility. The harder one chases the more they lose in the same way the less they chase the more they gain.
Wanting reciprocity in any situation is dangerous
Ones who have experienced one sided bonds will be able to recognise the truth immediately.
Expecting of somebody is selfish
Demanding or taking part in reciprocal behaviour is selfish
For one to anticipate,expect and demand that another’s investment of time, emotion, effort and understanding to be returned equally to them is outrageous and selfish.
And you would think somebody who craves, needs and operates of reciprocity was quite a selfless person, but really this sort of behaviour is rooted in self-interest rather than selflessness so therefore it’s selfish.
Expectation creates attachment, which inevitably leads to suffering. Wu wei
The paradox of bonds and relationship
Relationships with people are voluntary immersion in a paradox. You know the good to do, but still cling to the opposite.
Individuals wilfully enter paradoxes where they can be negatively impacted. Knowing the possibility of, the end which won’t be in their favour.
But ignoring that possibility and being fuelled by pure fantasy is the easier thing to do. The “natural” thing to do.
But they continue because they’re fueled by the fantasy of what could be. Or infatuated by what it is. But fail to realise all good comes to an end. It’s natural, it’s the balance. Your blinded.
Wouldn’t you just think that awareness of a paradox would amount to stop a paradox?
Once awareness enters the scene, does it truly halt the cycle of a paradox? Or just observe its presence. And if awareness was all it took for a paradoxical cycle to end its current cycle. Ask yourself if awareness was enough to stop a paradox. Why might it replay and why would you allow a replay. And if you have awareness of this, what exactly are you observing.
The most soul crushing pill to swallow is that every type of relationship or bond consists and is structured around impermanence. “The state or fact of lasting for only a limited period of time”.
I must say there is an amount of pride involved with paradoxes. The fact that maybe your too good to overcome such a weak paradox or situation. But of course humility has ascended and succeed this.
Listen , comfort lies within pride.
Which is why pride is so accessible.
Which is also the reason you are stuck in the same paradox which you are yet to escape.
Submit to humility.
Kill your pride and end your personal paradox or ongoing issue.
Remember that pride sustains your illusion. And humility dissolves it.
Suffering is parliamentary
It’s integrated
Its how you reach the kingdom within
Crucifixion
A part of the process
As a wise individual once said the only way out is through. Indeed it is. Suffering is the only way through. crucifixion. Humility and love most importantly . Those are the two hardest to display. Because the path is narrow. And not for most. It’s esoteric and like I said narrow.
Suffering is a life long paradox. That if reacted to correctly can result in ascension. Which has incredible duality to it. In moments of weakness we could possibly, submit and in moments of faith or pride we reject or submit to the endless paradox of suffering.
The paradox of suffering is a positive thing
It is a key to the kingdom within. Crucifixion. Dying daily.
Progress and move through the paradox.
It’s the forge. ⚡️🛠️
The Paradox of Attachment
A type of poison that only wears off once one is faced with rejection, when one feels the slightest bit of discomfort, or insecurity attachments paradox starts to take effect.
Rejection dissolves attachment.
Just how discomfort also dissolves attachment.
Once this state of dissolution has happened attachment is no longer. It has transformed into detachment. The realization. The state where one is truly able to see the truth that they were once blinded by. Or maybe not even blinded by but chose to ignore.
Attachment is like a filter. Imagine whilst being attached you could only physically see things in black and white.
Limited, and restricted to seeing those two colors. Black and white. When really you could be seeing a whole lot more. But you’re restricted due to the filter you have on. This is what attachment does to somebody.
But when you finally transcend black and white. You start seeing red, blue, green Et cetera.
What I’m trying to get across is that attachment and detachment. Of course 2 different things but essentially are one and coincide. They need each other to co operate and function.
But attachment and detachment are also filters. Or another way I can put it is, it’s a lens that narrows reality down to two things “yours” or “not yours”. And I would even go to say that truth isn’t hidden whilst attached. Maybe it’s just that when attached to something truth is filtered to secure safety and validation.
The saddest part about this paradox is that you as an individual willfully allow the paradox to run its course over and over, it’s integrated into our hardware.
It’s willful suffering
Perception shapes defeat
Defeat is a projection of the mind for some.Perception influences judgement. Making defeat a mental state rather than a definitive end.
Illusions that are seen as defeat, amplify the mental construct of defeat. Molding itself in each person.
The Hawk’s unyielding perception of reality has allowed it to transform the arrow’s intended illusion of defeat.
Defeat enables growth
Defeat enables victory
Defeat enables transcendence
You can’t escape your destiny. Whether that’s subconsciously escaping, avoiding or conciously escaping it. Feeling really is the key. It’s sacred
As I’ve been going into Taoism more and more it’s something I’ve felt most aligned with. Suprisingly it’s also been the thing that I have struggled to study consistently.
I have been seeing a certain image in my mind constantly, daily. Until the first time I physically saw it in a book I was reading. Until I saw it infront of me for the first time in a house I’ve never been in. These signs of alignment have been a new catalyst for studying Taoism for me. It’s the ultimate clarity you could ask for.
There really is no escaping alignment for some. Individuals are pulled into alignments path just to see if they will wake up to the signs. Will they ignore them? Or will they act on them?
There really is no escaping destiny. It’s beyond your control.
I had to really grasp the idea that there is 2 sides to a coin 🪙.Rather that they are completely essential.
And that one side isn’t better than the other.
They are just labels that people use to judge other peoples own subjective actions which is wrong.
More so, it doesn’t exist. Actions need to exist without labels. They don’t make sense.
Good and evil are the same.
Distinction between internal monologue and intuition is essential
Also being able to mute internal monologue on demand when needed to reduce the risk of the wrong type of thought forms manifesting.
