Identification with an ‘ism’ is captivity.
One has to move beyond. We move from one ism to another. All ism’s are a notion
or belief. All beliefs are myths, created by us or for us to bring about a
collectivity, to bind and to serve a purpose.
Man, unlike other animals, has the ability
to create myths, to re-imagine, to envision more powerfully than other species.
Through use of picture, dance and language, he has been able to express. Not
just describing ‘what is’ but the ability to describe ‘what can be’ allowed this
specie to leap forward.
A belief is beyond one’s experience: it is
not known by the self. It is a notion. Everything we believe happens, only
within us inside! The entire human experience is happening within each of us.
To realize this, is discovery: its’ always been there. Truth exists, always has
been.
Paying attention to awareness, is realizing
the reality. Yet, we spend awful amount of time, studying our thoughts. Thought
is an accumulative process. Or even in deciphering an experience: past or present.
The experience of self is the boundary of our sensation.
Epigenetic study now reveals, what ancient
scholars already know. Science is a series of realization itself: it discovers
more and more and realizes the physical aspects even more. At some point, the
physical moves on…to a wave, then nothingness. Then Science embraces Spiritualism:
both come at it from two ends: both point to the same source.
Yet, the unknown can become known: what
about the Unknowable?
In short, be true to self, not to an 'ism'.
