The open secretby Tony Parsons |

INTRODUCTION: "Whilst we remain locked within the apparent experience of being separat individuals living in an existence with which we have to negotiate, we live in a state of dreaming. In that dreamstate, all we do is governed by the law of opposites in which every so-called positive act is exactly and equally balanced by its opposite. Therefore, all of our individual attempts to make our lifes work, to reach perfection or to retain personal liberation, are neutralized. We discover through deep reflection and understanding that as long as we continue in this dream we are, in reality living in circle. We are on a wheel on which everything is continually repeating itself over and over again in differing images. It is consciousness delighting in a creation that is both constrained and liberated. And despite what we believe about our individuality and free will, we come to see that we only dreamt characters, reacting and responding from a set of conditioned and historical belief systems. All of classic religion, art and science - in a word, that we see as progressive, comes within the parameters of disperfectly balanced and exactly neutral state which serves only to reflect another possibility. In terms of actual liberation nothing is happening. What we have apparently created, is apparently destroyed. And what we have apparently destroyed, is apparently re-created. Moving from our original and timeless nature into consciousness identified, we have created this circumstance in order to rediscover that the dream we are living has absolutely no purpose other than our awakening from it. That awakening emerges outside of the dream, outside of time and is completely beyond of grasp of individual effort, path, process or believe." (...) |
