Meditation On What You Really Are

A Meditation On What You Really Are; A Means Of Developing True Connection

Everything is in your mind, meaning, it's either an imagination or by using your mind, you can focus your thoughts to understand something. Everything begins in our mind with thought. It's just how we work, mechanically.

This meditation is something you should do constantly, when you're sitting in the coffee shop, when you're out in public looking at people, or when you are alone, this is a constant exercise.

It's simply a matter of quantity and quality, which means that the more you do it with better focus, the quicker you'll see changes in yourself.

Imagine a basket filled with all kinds of different things, everything in the world. Fruits and vegetables and trees and cars and phones and computers and a sewing kit, planets, every person, animal and plant on the planet, literally anything and everything.

But you are no thing. No thing does not mean nothing, as in zero, it means you are not any one of these things. You are no individual thing. You are not a car or a phone or a human, or anything that is in that basket.

You are no thing, but yet, you are something. So then, what are you? If you are thinking and seeing and feeling, you must be something.

What you are is the basket, and the air that fills the basket in which everything is floating in within the basket. You surround, envelop, and permeate everything that is in the basket, so you are no thing, you are every thing.

The illusion of the human mind is to think ourself to be only one of those things or people. That is what Buddha meant when he said everything is an illusion, the illusion of separateness and permanence of material things instead of the truth that we are all in essence a singular unity. No, we are not joined in the physical sense, indeed we are separate in that way, but we are all made from the same 'stuff'. An atom is an atom, regardless of the thing that those atoms make.

The basket is filled with many humans, eight billion of them, and you think yourself one of those humans because you see yourself as a human and not the 'stuff' that made the human body and mind and is what keeps you alive. It's just electricity, nothing magical.

Imagine that you are not one, but you're actually all of them, you are all things, meaning, what you are is the basket that holds everything in the sense that the same energy flows through every cell of your being. This is scientific fact, nothing mystical about it.

A living being functions based on a combination of cells that group together to form organs, and a nervous system and a muscular system, etc, which are all controlled by the brain, giving signals through this nervous system to the tip of your finger, telling it to move. The signal is transmitted via an electrical impulse, or shock. Have you ever had a static electrical shock? You touch or even get close to something and you get a shock? That is electricity connecting two objects together, like a bridge.

I want to make this clear; what I am saying sounds mystical or spiritual, but in fact, it is 100% scientifically provable. I personally do not like anything that must be taken on faith.

It's simply science, there's no debate about it. Instead of your current incorrect thinking that you are the brain or the arm or the nerves, you're actually the electricity that runs through every living being.

Think and it happens. Assuming you do not have some neurological disease that you cannot control your body, every movement, other than the required functions to keep your body alive, like heart beating and breathing, must be action preceded by thought. Having said that, you can think your heart or your lungs to beat faster or slower. Nothing happens that does not begin in thought.

Electricity is electricity, which means it's the same regardless of what it powers. There are no different kinds of electricity, and so there's no different energy that runs through one thing or another thing, or one person or another person.

The electricity is the same, it just gets filtered through the personality, which is the same way that electricity gets filtered through transformers which make it either 110 volts or 220 volts or 600 volts etc. Some voltages are harmless, some deadly.

So the same electricity gets filtered through a transformer and then comes out at a different voltage. In the same way, the same energy, electricity, that runs through every single thing in the universe gets filtered through the personality and the brain and then is expressed according to that 'transformer'.

You see everything as being different in its external expression after it has gone through the transformer which expresses it in that individual way and you see the expression rather than the energy that is doing the expressing.

This meditation is to see the energy, imagining it in your mind, that runs through every body before it's gone through the transformer.

No matter what race or culture or religion you are, no matter how intelligent or stupid a person may be, it is exactly the same energy which is transmitted to the brain, then through the transformer/personality, to tell the hand or feet to move, or what emotional reaction to have. Again this is scientific, not mystical or theoretic. Just think about it and observe to prove it to yourself.

Individuality, and the problems and conflicts we have, are due to faulty transformers, meaning the transformer of your personality distorts the electricity and has exposed wires, which can shock or kill another person if they touch the exposed part of the wiring. That is commonly known as 'pushing your buttons'.

Through no fault of our own, we will be destructive to others and our self, simply due to a poorly constructed transformer, i.e. personality, because of our life experiences and how we were raised with a narrow mind and view formulated by the religion or culture that was imposed on us as our parents put the rubber stamp on our ass when we were born classifying you as such and such. You sadly did not get a choice of what you would be or believe, but this meditation, along with my other writing, can set you free of that overpowering limited life.

The meditation, which is a constant thing to do, day, night, when you're active, or when you're lying down, or when you're sitting on your meditation cushion, is to imagine the electricity, the energy that runs through every cell of your body, running through your entire body and everyone and every other living thing, plant, animal, human, every thing.

Start to see everything with your mind as if it is this very same energy that permeates the entire universe knowing that what matters is not a thing, but what makes that thing work and live.

A headache is not cured by cutting off the head, it is cured by finding the cause, which could be hunger or dehydration. Find the cause of all troubles, but look for it objectively, and you will find the solution to anything.

The cause of all human troubles is that we do not look for the original cause of the problem, and the original cause of our being alive.
