OK I have just understood about "illusion". What now?

If you have readed my posts "The holographic universe. The illusion. Us" and "The true perfection and sense of "illusion"", then you must have understood this:

1) "Reality" that our senses perceive is a holographic projection of the consciousness field into the space-time (see the last discoveries and theories of quantum Physics, for instance the videos that I link in my youtube videochannel, to the right).
2) Reality (without quotes) is that we are not the kings of universe, it is more like we have entangled ourselves with our own creations, and we are or we were about to self-destroy us or, better said, having to start all again.

If this is so, ¿what solution we have?... Well, before speaking of solutions, lets clarify even more what the problem is. The self-destruction is not the biggest problem. At the end, it would be simply the need to start all again from the begining. The problem is that there are some ways without return, spirals into deep holes where nobody, not even God, could take us out without violating our free will (if God exists).
For instance, there are certain philosophic theories that speak about the relativity of all things. These ways of thinking go deep into this vision to the point where they leave no option, because they put in total doubt the posibility of understanding any thing, because all is "points of view", "all minds are contaminated with partiality and cathegories that modify the facts" and "all minds are conditioned" and similar arguments. To the same time, they close any posibility of an exterior intervention which could help us to free ourselves from selfishness. As I said, it is a dangerous hole of self-reference (or extreme egotism).
Another ways of thinking deepen even more the selfishness by the emotive side, resulting in very deep depresions.
Finally, there are the people that propose the theory of nothing and nirvana. These thinkers are ancient and they are cathegorized as "nihilists". They think that the objetive is to achieve "thinking of nothing", "doing nothing" and definitively, to free yourself from the holographic existence and become "one with the being", such as "a drop of water melts into ocean".

All these lines take us to a very complicated situation, but at last, the nihilism has a very quick solution when, after boring for some time in "the nothing", the person returns to exterior world and dedicate himself to phiilantropic activities. Which is something positive...

So what to do then? If all is nothing but illusion, What is the sense of existence?

That is the millon dolar question: What is the sense of existence? We will try to answer in short, so the post doesnt go long, and we will expand with other posts.

This existence that you, my reader, and me, have now, it is called "material existence". The world in which we are is called "material world", and the energy which compose it is called "material energy". The term "material" refers to certain characteristics of this energy and world, such as it changes constantly producing the decadence of all that is (decay, decadence, old age), it is without flavour in itself (because it is dead, without life) and it is a source of ignorance, obscurity. This is only the brief, it is really more complex...
The same way as there exists this "material world", there exists another world or existencial reality called "spiritual world", consistent of "spiritual energy". The term "spiritual" means the characteristics that, obviously, are the oposite of those of "material" world. For instance: it is eternally constant in its youth (there is no birth nor death, nor decadence, nor old age), it is tasty or full of ananda (that is translated often as "wellbeing" or directly "hapiness") and there all have full knowledge.
The spiritual world is similar to this material world in the forms. Better said, its the opposite: this world is similar to that one, but it is "distorted". It is said then that it is (we are) like a multitude of mirrors that reflect the spiritual world, but they are mirrors with slight variations in the surfaces that distort (we distort) the spiritual subjects and objects. The spiritual world is much more variegated and touching than material world. We will go on with this in another posts...

The sense of existence in this "material world" is that we experiment. Efectivelly, to function correctly, the spiritual world needs that its inhabitants follow some rules. When somebody doesnt want to follow these, such person "falls" or enters into this material world. Here it is allowed to do whatever he or she likes, and nobody is going to take you out of here if you dont want. But, be it here or in the spiritual world, there exists one only universal law: the law of action-reaction or karma law, which we have already explained in previous posts. Which means that everything that happens to you, you have provoked it. At first, the living entity refuses to acept this, he prefers to blame others for its situation. That attitude doesnt work, because at the end he continues to suffer the same (nature is imparcial). The moment when the living entity accepts the existence of this law, means a total change in his life, specially because accepting this law means accepting to receive this knowledge from another person.

In other words: the true meaning of existence cannot be found by a solitary person. It is necesary to receive this type of knowledge from another person, which had already undergo all the phases of such a discovery. All the philosophic ways can help you to get out from illusion, even movies speaking about this topic, they say to you the same: you need another person to show you the way.

This material world is constructed in such a way, that it tends to teach you the contrary. All of your life you have been bombarded with the idea that you need nobody to make it, and that is the reason why now you rebel against my words. Said in another way, you dont accept external help, because somebody or many people has told you that you shouldnt do it. You are paying obedience to this persons and that is why you dont want to accept that you need another person, one who doesnt foul you, to be able to step out of the labirinth of illusion or deceit.

If you dont believe me, go ahead, roll around for some time more or some more lives. I have all the time of the world, I am nobody in particular, I am only the voice of the master. "The voice of the master" will follow you wherever you go, now or in five thousand years. It has been with you thousand of years before and it will be with you forever, be it me or another person who incarnates it. Because we love you, because we want to see you free from illusion, consciouss of your eternity, inmanent happiness and full knowledged.

We will continue on the next post.

The true perfection and sense of "illusion"

We have already explained in gross the illusory nature of reality, or in terms of the physicists, "holographic universe". We have mentioned that fighting against such illusion is useless. It is so because existence means illusion, proyection of desires and ideas over a space-time around us.
There is another sense of the word illusion and it is more important. Illusion, or in sanskrit "maya" means "that which is not". It aplies then not only to the sensorial illusion but also and more properly to perception itself. Perception is a complex act. To feel, to use the five senses to acquire information from context, from the outside, that is only the first step. There is a second level. We have explained this somewhere else: some persons have not go beyond the world of the senses, they live for them. Another ones are in the mind´s level. We are going to explain this, but not too much.
The mind is a little machine. It is designed to serve as instrument of data input, suing of those data, and results devolution. The suing has many aspects such as analysis (different clases of analysis), comparing, ordering, mixing, creation, synthesis... Besides all that -cognitive proceses- there is the conexion between the mind and the feelings, that is another complex that I am going to explain now. Basically, feelings are the opposite of thoughts. The "mental" is properly the "masculine" or "left hemisphere of the brain" (please take all this as mere cathegories), the "emotive" is "femenine" or "right side". You can also understand the emotive as "from hearth". So we see that there are purely "mental" persons, purely "emotive" persons and mixtures of both. Remember that we are parts of a whole. So when we are acting as data procesors, at a mental or emotive level, we are just accomplishing a function in that whole. As if we were parts of a huge body, a cosmic body, lets say in this moment I am being like a neuron or neuronal centre procesing information, analyzing it, explaining it to you. And you are acting as receptors of that information, listening attentively what I say (it is so?) :p
The whole is listening this, through me producing this knowledge at this moment, through others reading what I  just produced. But what whole? Obviously, that whole who didn't know this... If there is a supreme or absolute person, as he is conceived in religions, that person doesn´t need to learn this. He or She already knows... On the contrary we are the ones that needed to know... We will leave this question open for now...
Some researchers in neuropsychology and similar have conceived some day that, at the end, what remains are the ideas. We are, after all, a species of refined computers. For instance a computer, you enter information, she processes, she exhibits some results in the screen or another gadget... She does so for some time, then she "dies" (becomes obsolete); but then, even when the computer is no longer useful, the information remains. We simply pass it to the next computers hard disk and it remains... To this they called "the government of the memes" or "the eternity of the memes". They understood as "memes" (rhyme with "genes") an idea or group of ideas with certain potential, that remained over time using diferent physical support media, and between these media there are us! In other words, we are receptors and transmisors of "memes" or ideas. The ideas may last for centuries, even all the time of the universe (for instance the ideas of chaos and order are such old). We last a few moments in comparison with them, in fact they seem to "use" us for their perpetuation... So after all, ¿We created the ideas or the ideas created us?... disturbing question, but it allows us to re-evaluate our position in the universe. Evidently we are not the kings of the universe.
This having believed and still believing we are the center of the universe or in another words, GOD, this deification of ourselves, is a type of illusion and one ver very serious. It is in fact the essence of our wrong attitude towards nature and existence and it is leading us -or may be it was leading us- to our self-destruction (or in another words, to having to start all again, "game over").

Lets see, lets see, will say the more intelligent: ¿Haven't you say that all toghether, we were "god"? Well, at this point I must show how our teaching system works: knowledge as I understand it is a spiral: first we understand "white against black", then we go over another topics, then we complete the circle, but we are a little more upwards, then, the same topic, but this time, it is "white and black". Another round and now there are grays in the middle, another round and there are colors, another and there is non-visible light...
Now we have understood another element that we didn´t know: the world of the ideas is not there for our manipulation and control of reality... on the contrary it even seems the opposite: ideas control us, they use us as mere transmisors in the fight between them for supremacy.
Because if we look it closely, these ideas opose between them, then they fight to expand on behalf of their opposites. The "order" tries to arrange everything, "chaos" tries to disorder everything... and we are in the middle, we "afiliate" to order or chaos, and we are willing to give our lives for them... this is the pathetic reality of humanity until not long ago and even today... and I am going even far away: if there exist the gods and devils, they are in the same game, just with another high-tech "toys" like lightnings and divine weapons...

In other words, we have created a world that is now our Master. We have submited ourselves to slavery... that, dear readers, is the true perfection and sense of "illusion".

The holographic universe. The illusion. Us.

Nowadays there is much dialogue about reality as a holographic proyection of our minds. This is a good idea, adecuate to the moment, but inexact.
By the other hand we also know from "Matrix" movie the idea of a superior force that keeps us illusioned, traped in the holographic universe, who knows whit which objetive.
¿Which is the reality? ¿What is our role here?

As we explained in the previous post, we have basically tree power: to wish, to think and to feel. All starts by our desires. From them, with our thoughts we elaborate ideas. These ideas one way or another end materializing (we will explain that in due time). Finally, in relating with the external world we "feel" experiences more or less pleasant. And that is our true objective. In the very inside we are all hedonists. Even the stoic, he is simply someone who is traped in some corner of the holographic maze. Lacking a way out, he decides to "endure" whatever comes, but in his interior the desire is to enjoy.

That is why the great oriental masters warn us against the "sense gratification", not for enjoying itself, but to trying to do it in a "separate way". In other words, "egoistic". Today there are lots of those false philosophies or reliigions that tell us that we simply must wish intensely and then the universe will give us whatever we want. That is not so: the desire of the whole "living entity" is more important and more powerful than the individual entity´s wish. Our desire will be acomplished in the measure of its harmony with the whole´s desire.

The problem for us is that we have not learnt to harmonize our whole desire field. The way to do it is very simple: we have to find our "center". This is a totally individual task. Each one must search and find his own center. To find the center means to recognize a person I will listen to. Because all starts there: listening. To listen means to abandon the proud stances of "I already know" and "I can do it alone".

Scientifics are discovering the holographic nature of universe, but they are also doing because they want to control the universe. They are still in a war plan: war against the nature itself. That is not the attitude that we need now, but another: we must abandon the childlike idea of independence. We are all interdependent, ones from anothers. I cannot satisfy my desires to enjoy in an individual way, I always need another ones. Even the perspective of "I am going to satisfy me" is wrong, because it is egoistic. That is why some day I wrote:

"True hapiness means to know how to enjoy the hapiness of the others".


It is not ME, it is US.
