Ratios Between Rigidity And Flexibility

[JevinR]

In this video: 

 

What ratio would be best to a rigidness/flexibility scale of 100? Would it best to predict and plan to adapt a ratio? Or to be totally flexible, or develop it in a rigid sense? Or to have a sort of volume knob on both flexibility and rigidity that can be turned up or down that has an inverse relation, where one goes up the other goes down and vice versa. I'm thinking a 50:50 Perfect balance split would be ideal. Also, how can you apply this to micro:macro ratios of big-picture:small picture? As you turn up the volume for big picture, small goes down. Thoughts?

no matter what numbers you apply, they will fail, you will not have the control of things to manage the numbers.  This question can only arise from the actor/observed in the play of life.  If you could see this as the observer of the play none of this would even matter or come into play.

@charlie2dogs But that's all enlightenment is, is that state of no mind/stillness . The main goal in life purpose is contribution.

How would you know what enlightenment is, you have no experience in it, if you did you wouldnt have written either statements, and anyone who thinks enlightenment is a state of no mind/stillness has been listening to the wrong people.

@charlie2dogs Why would an enlightened person pick fights? Also can you explain what enlightenment is?

You have to keep balance between each modes as life demands different actions.

Go by intuition.

often when someone with experience speaks to an issue that someone puts in a public forum, when the person who put it there, doesn't like the answer that comes back,  they end up accusing the person who was trying to help them of several things, for instance in your case of picking a fight. That is another sign that you have no understanding of enlightenment.  I have already defined enlightenment, self realization several times on the forum and i didn't do it mumbling and rambling using the same old tired doctrines and philosophies that the unlearned have used for ages, and considering that you perceive my help to you as picking fights, I don't think you are ready to seriously consider what i would have to say about it.  I have been accused of being harsh when in reality i was being real, generally when reality confronts programing and beliefs there is huge conflicts within the one carrying the programing and beliefs.  A word of advice to you, before you speak to others consider what you are going to say, because even a few words in text will reveal a great deal about you to those who have traveled your path and moved on.

@charlie2dogs What is enlightenment if not a state of no-mind?

I dont really care for the term enlightenment, because of the misuse and misunderstanding  associated with it, i prefer to use the term self realized, to answer your question.  Self realization is a state of being, in which you no longer function as an unconscious human being controlled by ego and the desires of your physical body or rather the identity you have created here but a shift has taken place in your awareness and your whole being, and you are functioning as a conscious, aware present being of consciousness which is your first estate, which enables you to be present in the moments of life that events arise, and allows you to be first and foremost the observer only of any event, without your programing, false belief system and your warped perception of life making a mess out of it before you have the opportunity to see the reality of that event.  Upon seeing the reality of the data or event, you may then choose to allow that thought, event, data, to grow into something useful to you or those around you, or you may realize that you simply need to turn away and allow it to cease to exist.  Being in this space of being, your intention behind what you do will come to the forefront before taking any actions, if action is decided upon  will determine the consequence of your actions and it becoming a part of your consciousness and your quantum memory.  This is not some mumbo jumbo that i got from other people, books, religions or gods, it is experience.  If you are seeking personal growth or self realization, you should save this and read it often, until you get it, because when you really get it and can experience it you will be self realized.  This is most likely different than anything you have ever heard, but that is because it is my own experience and not someone else's opinion, doctrines or philosophies.  If you want to become self realized then do what it takes to get you there, there are some keys that will open that door.  First you need time to be still, be quiet, and just be with that source of life within your body, forget all the practices, meditations, just be still, quiet, and experience the consciousness that you are.  When things come to you in that space that seem to have some important meaning, take it with you and later contemplate it, in most cases something is being revealed to you out of your own consciousness, it is calling to you, dont ignore it, but dont jump to conclusions and start applying your programing and false belief to it or you will destroy the opportunity to learn something of value, be patient and contemplate it, i have learned things that most of this world will never understand that way, it works.  Practice forcing your self to experience the moment of life, i mean actually being present in that one single moment, and being in a conscious aware state of being, just observing.  The more you practice this the more you will be able to experience living the moment of life.  If you continue on this path, with a desire for liberation from the horseshit and insanity of this world, one day you will realize that something has happened to you, and soon you will know that you are self realized, then you will begin to discard and allow all the mumbo and jumbo, false beliefs that you picked up to dissolve and leave you, a cleansing of your consciousness will begin to take place the more you experience this new state of being.  This is a lot, reading it, understanding it, and experiencing it are three different things.  You must be your own master, your own guru, your own teacher, to be self realized.  When you realize that a shift of your being has happened hold on to it, allow it to expand.  And lastly, dont allow the opinions of those who try rationalize enlightenment to sway you from your course, they dont know, they dont have the experience, they only belief they do, and once you are self realized you will see that for yourself.  These are the things that worked for me, they will work for you, and there is not a million ways to become enlightened, there is only one way to become self realized, and that is the shift from the identity to the being of consciousness which is your first estate.  Every thing you need to become self realized is right here in this short text, i hope it helps you.
