Awareness is pre-1,2,3,4,5, etc. Consciousness is 1,2,3,4,5, etc. Mind is 1+2, 2+3, 3/2, 4/9, 7+3, 8-6, etc.

Liberation vs Imprisonment ‘Life itself is prison, The instincts are prisons, The senses are prisons, Superstition is prison, Sacred institutions are prisons, Teachers are prisons, Holy things are prisons, Goodness is prison, Views are prisons, Purity is the highest prison, Voidness is not prison, Freedom is salvation from prison.’ ～ Buddhadāsa ～

Understand these... “The ‘I’ of I, is not mine. The ‘you’ of you, is not yours. The ‘he’ of he, is not his. The ‘she’ of she, is not hers. The ‘it’ of it, is not its.” “There is no I am reborn, but just a state of rebirth. There is no I am suffering, but just a state of suffering. There is no I am in fear, but just a state of fearsome. There is no I am happy, but just a state of happiness. There is no I am enlightened, but a the state of enlightenment.”

Definition: - Absolute = complete, infinite, supreme... Relative = corresponding, dependent, connected... According to the Chinese philosophy, everything has both the yin and the yang aspects. Yin and yang are actually complementary but opposing forces interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part; thus bringing forth a dynamic system existing in harmony. The visual representation of this concept is well depicted in the Taijitu symbol or the loosely referred to as yin-yang symbol. Literally, Tai-ji means supreme ultimate – that represents an insightful reality of the dependent nature i.e. highlighting many natural dualities such as female and male, dark and light, low and high, cold and hot, water and fire, life and death, etc. In summary, Taijitu would represent the essential feature of absolute, whereas both yin and yang would represent the essential features of relative. From an absolute perspective, one could witness the essential features of relative in play. And from a relative perspective, one could witness the essential feature of absolute in play. At the end of the day, any conclusions made are merely two sides of the same coin.

Subdue thought identification, intensify thought observation..

Enlightenment is all about realisation, graduation and liberation. To be or not to be enlightened is a choice, not a compulsion. The earth would still rotate at 24 hours a day, regardlessly.

What is really real? Consciousness is synergy that has the ability to expand and pervade through any corresponding planes of existence simultaneously and indefinitely. This development becomes a foundation for the parallel existences in Mother Nature. In fact, the commonly known stories of human beings running into ghosts or spirits as well as the extraterrestrials are among the few instances of parallel reality being discerned by the human mind frequencies. Basically, consciousness arises in every corner of space and space itself is an expression for the existence of energy (in the sense of vibration). Consciousness is naturally looking outward to objects and it is flitting all the time. When consciousness develops into distinguishing or discriminating objects, mind would arise concurrently. Mind is actually cosmic waves of energy that penetrate all time and space. It is the most potent vibration to which other similar frequencies are constantly resonating. In the Buddhist context, kamma-vipaka is actually the traits of consciousness in play through the web of spacetime or present-dynamism. Kamma-vipaka could exert across different planes of existence concurrently and it is akin to an electrical impulse in our heart system whereby the electrical signal travels through the network of conducting cells or pathways that stimulates the upper chambers and the lower chambers to contract until the entire heart contracts in one coordinated motion. In a simple term, the traits of consciousness would pervade and transpire through the continuum of spacetime or present-dynamism. As such, kamma-vipaka can never be deciphered as an eye for an eye kind of notion because one cause is never enough to bring about an effect. Each of the causes would need other causes to be present together with their respective conditions. For instance, we could not endorse convincingly that some natural calamities associated with succumbing hundreds and thousands of innocent human lives are due to the respective kamma-vipaka of individuals. Retrospectively, there could be multiple of causes deriving from several other planes of existence with the effect horizon being ripening upon maturity on the human plane per se. The conclusion is that every single thing or happening in Mother Nature is closely inter-depending, inter-waving and inter-relating with one another and this applies to all different planes of existence since the dawn of time in a very comprehensive and complicated network. Generally speaking, all different planes of existence are the end result of polarity in the traits of consciousness with the mind functioning as a forerunner in determining the frequency of the traits. In fact, it is the elements of memory within the mind that become the basis for the heritability of consciousness bearing traits; without it, whatever evolution of consciousness in spacetime or present-dynamism would be impossible. Besides, there are variations and conditioned relationships in consciousness between beings; it is not identical but neither is it completely distinct. The new arising consciousness is neither identical to, nor entirely different from, the old consciousness, but forms part of a causal continuum or stream with it. On another aspect, the varying vibrational frequencies in the respective planes of existence would conjure up unique forces of energy that are interweaving and interfering amongst other corresponding or resonating frequencies elsewhere. As such, it is not surprising for one to observe a growth or a demise of certain species in a population as there are always natural forces interacting and complementing to bring forth a harmonious dynamic system across all planes of existence in Mother Nature. In addition, the fluctuating vibrational frequencies amongst different planes of existence would bring about variances in terms of the relative timeline. Under a common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism, a higher vibrational frequency would yield a slower becoming process and vice versa. This is because, by nature, everything is interconnected and balanced with both the yin and the yang aspects. Yin and yang are actually complementary but opposing forces interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part; thus bringing forth a dynamic system existing in harmony. For instance, in a relative term, the experience of one second in a celestial plane (higher vibrational frequencies) is equivalent to ten years for a human plane (lower vibrational frequencies). As such, from a human perspective, all the celestial beings are assumed to have been living in a continuum of eternity. And there is a possibility for beings to perform a time travel from one plane of existence to another via a wormhole. A wormhole is literally a cross path for different planes of existence. The described wormhole here is basically referring to a tweak of frequencies by beings with higher vibrational frequencies to discern the beings in lower vibrational frequencies. The general prescription is that any realms of higher vibrational frequency would be able to discern the realms of lower vibrational frequency. However, the realms of lower vibrational frequency would not be able to discern any realms of higher vibrational frequency. This is because if the vibrational frequencies of the perceiver are lower than the perceived, the cascading events are deemed impossible. In other words, the object or matter must keep on within the purview of the subject’s frequency horizon; without it, the observation would be impossible. It is akin to any beings of higher vibrational frequencies having an aerial perspective on the affairs of beings with lower vibrational frequencies rather than the other way round. Therefore, beings of grander vibrational frequency span are able to discern at-will basis on all other beings with common vibrational frequency span via a tweak of frequencies. In fact, one of the instances on time travel that occurred many times in the human plane of existence is the trance mediumship or channeling. Basically, there have been some elements of compatibility that in turn conjure up a synergic cohesion of mental and physical energies and consciousness between the medium and the spirit that manifested through the body. Beings of higher vibrational frequencies from another plane of existence would have the ability to encroach upon the human innate mind consciousness that is basically lower vibrational frequencies. A gateway or so-called a wormhole is deemed necessary to initiate the spirit communication and it is embedded within the human innate mind consciousness per se. In present society, the trance mediumship or channeling has a number of purposes but mostly, it is pertaining to foretelling the well-being of the interested party, especially in Asia. Basically, the spirit with higher vibrational frequencies has the ability to grasp the future possibilities related to beings with lower vibrational frequencies because of variances in the relative timeline. Comparatively, the clock would appear to be ticking faster in the human plane than the celestial plane because a higher vibrational frequency would yield a slower becoming process. Therefore, it is not a case whereby the spirit has a classic talent to foresee things ahead of time in the human plane because everything would exist at the same time under a common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism only. In fact, the mind consciousness can be altered and transformed into a potent black hole of emptiness that strongly attracts and magnetises vibrational frequencies i.e. the beginning of attaining psychic powers among individuals. With such a potent faculty, it has the potential to stand out as a gateway of communication for beings from different planes of existence as well. Just like a powerful telescope, humans could expand their consciousnesses by increasing the innate mind frequency span via deep meditation respectively. Also, with the progress of civilisation, the human mind frequency span would be altered progressively as well. For example, it is unknown to mankind the existence of cosmic rays previously. With the advancement of science and technology, humans have begun detecting and realising its existence in the cosmos. In other words, what exists is defined as that which can be known. If it cannot be known by the mind, then it does not exist. Therefore, previously, those cosmic rays did not exist to mankind as it was not discerned by the human mind frequencies. Only in modern days, with the advent of advanced astronomy studies and experiments, did humans alter and expand their innate mind frequency span to a grander scale to enable the detection of things with higher vibrational frequencies. For general understanding, as a human, the traits of consciousness are not within the physical body per se. Instead, it is the physical body that is within the traits of consciousness with the mind functioning as the forerunner of all things. Basically, mind is a pattern of consciousness which is born from awareness and it can be categorised into two terms i.e. prevailing consciousness and subtle consciousness. The prevailing mind consciousness is closely related to the physical body, whereas, the subtle mind consciousness is somehow independent from the physical body. This is because when the physical body is being switch-off temporarily the subtle mind consciousness would continue to work unpretentiously as in the experience of lucid dreaming. Nevertheless, all objects or matters as observed by the mind consciousness must transpire within the purview of the group traits of consciousness. This includes all the projections and reflections of reality or fallacy being identified and experienced by the respective mind consciousnesses. In fact, the group traits of consciousness would perform like a powerful microscope and telescope whereby nothing can be discerned outside its horizon. Moreover, the human physical body is merely an interim containment of certain blueprint of vibrational frequencies. Basically, humans are the end result of a certain unique frequency pattern of consciousness – a wave of collated high and low vibrations that subsequently bring forth a conflation of mind and body. Slower vibrational frequencies would lead to the body and the sense bases formation and faster vibrational frequencies would lead to the mind formation. Collectively, it brings about a new life existence with a unique individuality that would not allow the disruption by any kind of external interference; thus it maintains a self-identity. In other words, mind and body are present in every created thing as one integrated whole. Upon maturity, it would dissipate and assume into other resonating frequencies elsewhere within the group traits of consciousness.

There is no essence in who or what you are. There is no you in the so-called you in the first place. Every event that arises, be it consciously or otherwise, is merely a continuum of orientating flux of energy in the cosmos. The delusion of you arises because of the elements of memory; without it, there can be no consciousness in play. Therefore, it is wise not to conceptualise anything if one were to discover the true nature of everything.

Naturally, we do know things and happenings exist because it can be known and felt by our senses. And our minds interpret event or happening as a condition that one has to go through, to persevere with, to soldier on with, to carry on with or to undertake with, inevitably. In other words, what exists is defined as that which can be known. If it cannot be known by the mind consciousness, then it does not exist and things can exist as in fallacy or in reality. Since things and happenings existed long before we have a slightest opportunity to recognise and understand it well, we are bound to suffer (bear with) ignorantly. However, as human beings, we have the wisdom to make recognition on the entire cycle of events or happenings in Mother Nature. In the realm of subject-object duality, our mind consciousness could observe the fluctuating vibrational frequencies arising because everything in the material Universe is made up of energy. Atoms and molecules are made up of energy. Our bodies, our clothes, our cars, our houses are all made up of energy but what makes them different is their vibration. Energy is always vibrating at a different frequency under the influence of conditional phenomena. In other words, energy is the underlying element that exists everywhere within Mother Nature because every single thing or happening would involve with it, without exception. In fact, energy is an expression that emptiness exists. When one sees into energy, one sees into emptiness; when one sees into emptiness, one sees into energy. This is the rationale for the saying, ‘Form is Emptiness.’ The principle in effect: seeing into form is seeing into matter, seeing into matter is seeing into energy and seeing into energy is seeing into emptiness. At the same time, emptiness is a necessary prerequisite for any objects to exist; without it, the object would be impossible and this hypothesis attributes to the saying, ‘Emptiness is Form.’ When we examine into Mother Nature, its intricacy is negated, what is left is emptiness that is portrayed as in a uniformed translational motion i.e. a bare becoming process. When the two opposing translational forces clash against one another, vibrational forces arise concurrently. The arised vibrational forces would appear in a regular pattern of waves i.e. standing and traveling and this in turn would give rise to deflective forces. The traveling waves would involve with higher vibrational frequencies and the standing waves would involve with lower vibrational frequencies. Subsequently, the conditions of duality and multiplicity would arise out of the combination of deflective, translational, vibrational and rotational forces as the becoming processes moved into an advanced level of complexity. And only when there is a balanced circumstance, there is a chance for the integrating process i.e. under a balanced phenomenon, one could witness shapes or forms arising; under an imbalanced phenomenon, one could witness no shapes or forms arising - and the cycle of conditional phenomena continues endlessly. This scenario can be portrayed in the cycle of dependent origination shown as below: - Balance leads to stability. Stability leads to aggregation. Aggregation leads to agitation. Agitation leads to information. Information leads to knowledge. Knowledge leads to representation. Representation leads to memory. Memory leads to compulsion. Compulsion leads to ignorance. Ignorance leads to blindness. Blindness leads to disorientation. Disorientation leads to confusion. Confusion leads to irrationality. Irrationality leads to impulse. Impulse leads to sparkling. Sparkling leads to inkling. Inkling leads to volition. Volition leads to awareness. Awareness leads to consciousness. Consciousness leads to mind and body. Mind and body lead to sensation. Sensation leads to six sense bases. Six sense bases lead to conductivity. Conductivity leads to contact. Contact leads to stimulation. Stimulation leads to feeling. Feeling leads to experience. Experience leads to craving. Craving leads to grasping. Grasping leads to clinging. Clinging leads to unsettling. Unsettling leads to becoming. Becoming leads to creation. Creation leads to birth. Birth leads to energising. Energising leads to mobility. Mobility leads to hauling. Hauling leads to aging. Aging leads to draining. Draining leads to death. Death leads to fragility. Fragility leads to segregation. Segregation leads to diffusion. Diffusion leads to imbalance. Imbalance leads to adjustment. Adjustment leads to alignment. Alignment leads to new balance. As depicted above, the elements of awareness would begin to discern some simple varying frequencies that consecutively give rise to consciousness - that basically arises out of awareness. This is the soul thing that we talk about all the time. Consciousness would then progress and expand into a manipulative typecast i.e. mind or also known as consciousness in individuality. Therefore, soul is referring to a blueprint of endless evolving mind consciousnesses. Such a blueprint would serve as a steering wheel and is often mistakenly deemed as a permanent entity. In fact, soul is dependent arising and anything that is dependent arising would involve change and therefore, it cannot inherently exist in Mother Nature. In summary, we could mention that firstly there is the arising of preliminary awareness, and then there is the arising of consciousness-cum-intermediary awareness, thereafter the arising of consciousness-cum-advanced awareness, and lastly the arising of ultimate or full awareness. This means every existence would contain with the elements of awareness that is known as the seeds of emptiness. And when we talk about seeing into emptiness, we talk about the progressive realisation of the mind on the reality of things. Therefore, emptiness can be realised into stages as below: - Stages of Enlightenment Stage 1 Elementary Realisation · All things and phenomena are lack of core essence. · Nothing is unchanging and permanent. · Everything is inter-related. Stage 2 Intermediary Realisation · Ability to differentiate the way things are perceived to exist and the way things really exist. · Only seeing without believing. Stage 3 Advanced Realisation · No dualism of the subject and object, and no appearance of multiplicity. · All things and phenomena rise and fall within a singular condition. · Only uniformity exists. Stage 4 Ultimate Realisation · All dependent arising are completely blown off or extinguished. · No string attached, and nothing is left remaining. · Infinite, unchanging, permanent, and unconditional. · Exists beyond all conventional phenomena. The ultimate realisation of emptiness would mean a phase of perfect intermediation being accomplished by the mind consciousness (a.k.a. full enlightenment). A perfect intermediation would mean a comprehensive absence of any or all units under consideration. It is also known as a complete neutralisation of conditional phenomena. But an absence of any or all units under consideration is not equivalent to nothingness of any or all units under consideration. Therefore, absence is not about nothingness but instead it is about no-thing-ness. No thing means no becoming or no changing. No changing means no suffering. No suffering means no mind. Mind is the forerunner of all states. No mind means a completely neutralised state of affairs - that is nibbāna. The state of nibbāna is inexplicable in conventional terms but still, it can be tasted by the enlightened ones during deep meditation. At the end of the day, the cyclic processes of so-called seed and fruit would continue ad infinitum until upon uprooting ignorance from the mind consciousness. This is the ceasing moment of rebirth i.e. the evolving consciousness or stream of consciousness of a person in Mother Nature.

What's fake or otherwise is all in your mind. The real not-knowing would arise when you begin to cease from experiencing i.e. when you're able to stay beyond mind, beyond perceptions, beyond concepts and words. Just take one step at a time. More importantly, you need to sustain equanimity along your practices.

Just freeze and observe....

In Mother Nature, there are becoming processes and time is merely a tool to quantify it. When the becoming process ceases, the time would cease as well – thus the absence of time stream (past, present and future). The principle in effect: - Time is an expression that becoming process exists, Becoming process is not an expression that time exists. Time is something that is created; not born - a non-natural existence. Time is an indicator for event; just like length, width and height are indicators for size and volume. All these indicators belong to a category named as dimension. In other words, dimension is created for the task of measurement per se and therefore, not something that arises out naturally. Also, time is a scalar factor. A scalar refers to a quantity or phenomenon that exhibits magnitude only, with no specific direction. Any interval of time is also scalar - it has magnitude only. In fact, this becoming process is the main reason for all the things that we observe right here, right now. When there is a becoming process, there is a changing process. The changing process would then conjure up an ability of sorts that is known as ‘energy.’ Therefore, energy is something that has always been in existence and remaining as a constant - as per the Law of Conservation of Energy. In a way, we could describe energy as nothing but mere vibration. When there are opposing forces, there would be vibration. The alternate movement of the opposing forces would generate a continuum of wavy pattern oscillating up and down. This is the main reason for all the repeating cycle of rising and falling activities that one could witness in Mother Nature. In other words, by understanding well and observing thoroughly into the characteristics of energy, one could gain insight into Mother Nature and its orientation. On another aspect, everything does exist at the same time under present-dynamism only. The projectile movement of time as often experienced by our mind consciousness is purely due to relativity that is arising out of the varying vibrational frequencies. As a result, we tend to perceive things a little bit linearly, thus creating the delusion of past, present and future movement of time. The conventional time that we involve ourselves with every day is a subjective cum relative time. This means the time orientation is dependent on the observer (i.e. the subject’s mind) to provide the valuation on the other side of the object or matter. As a consequence, the time conclusion varies among different observers or minds. In fact, Albert Einstein has given out an interpretation of spacetime that is actually the endless evolving frequency cum becoming process in Mother Nature. We could liken the frequency to space and the becoming process to time because time is actually a dimension (indicator) for the becoming process and space is merely an expression for energy in play as per frequency (i.e. the number of occurrences or observations within a given time period or statistical category). Present-dynamism = frequency x becoming (space x time) Once again, time would always arise at the present state of condition. There is no backward or forward movement of time but just a regenerating of occurrences all the time at a common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism. This means in the twinkling of an eye, all events or phenomena as observed by our mind consciousness would fluctuate and renew simultaneously and continuously. Just like the gravity effects on earth for all different masses are the same (acceleration value, g = 9.80 m/s2) even though the rock strikes the ground before the feather per se. However, the common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism is unconjecturable and it is mainly due to its nature of beginning-less and end-less. For example, despite the vast differences in the cultural development, the time zone and the locality, a Bushman in Africa and a modern businessman in America are both living concurrently in the 21st century under a common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism. Literally, we could not discriminate or differentiate them by saying that the Bushman is from the past time and the modern businessman is a person living in the future time. The distinguishing factor among them and their respective surroundings is merely their variable vibrational frequencies. In fact, the circumstances of duality or multiplicity as observed by our mind consciousness would be an obvious indication of all fluctuating vibrational frequencies arising in the cosmos. This is because everything in the material Universe is made up of energy. Atoms and molecules are made up of energy. Our bodies, our clothes, our cars, our houses are all made up of energy but what makes them different is their vibration. Energy is always vibrating at a different frequency under the influence of conditional phenomena. Everything has its own vibrational frequency – our thoughts, our feelings, the rock, the table, the car, the animal, the plant, the tree, etc. Even colours are merely expressions of certain vibrational frequencies. In addition, the fluctuating vibrational frequencies amongst different subjects and matters would bring about variances in terms of the relative timeline. Under a common pace of spacetime or present-dynamism, a higher vibrational frequency would yield a slower becoming process and vice versa. The principle-in-effect: - When the vibrational frequency accelerating, the becoming process decelerates, When the vibrational frequency decelerating, the becoming process accelerates. By nature, everything is a matrix of everything. If we were to examine into Mother Nature intently, our mind would discover that everything is interconnected and balanced under the universal laws of conservation. Basically, all the workings of the universal scientific laws and equations would fall within the principle of Absence, Balance and Constant (ABC). For instance, E = mc2 or E - mc2 = 0 or mc2 - E = 0 A = B or A - B = 0 or B - A = 0 The circumstances of duality or multiplicity in all things would always exist in the dependent nature. Conventionally, there is a beginning and an ending of all things or matters i.e. when there is a rising, there will be a falling or vice versa. The complementary but opposing forces would interact to form a whole greater than either separate part; thus bringing forth a dynamic system existing in harmony. In other words, there’s no two ways about it i.e. one factor is always being balanced off with another factor, without exception. This conclusion would bring us to an understanding that Mother Nature is functioning in a feature that is constant – a situation that does not change i.e. the characteristic of an inherent existence. Therefore, we could mention that Mother Nature is a system that is universal i.e. it is inherent existing and dependent arising concurrently. Once again, time is a dimension because it is a scale of measurement created for gauging the events. Therefore, time could not be self-sustainable and has no entity. For one to reflect time as an entity is a point of view based on delusion, just like the misconception of self-entity in beings. When there is no becoming process, there is no time. So time does not exist in a non-dependent phenomenon.
