"No Doubts" Continued - Ego - Humans vs... - "Solarpunk"
Updated: Feb 5
Some videos I did - yes, my voice and speaking is not the best :
From previous blog post: https://aboutislam.net/reading-islam/about-muhammad/prophet-muhammad-pioneer-environment/
Is interesting to think about these things, some of the sayings and principles - expanded out(wardly)...(economically and with regards to law and property rights) the sayings of the Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him) and what I think would be the best system and actions going forward for all the world and within the United States in regards to property and the implementation of and move towards a circular economy ...- I believe definitely in a "debt jubilee" now (that would be best), the circular economy, nationalizing some industries especially those that economically, our within the state (the United States) - that don't have anything to do with our imports and exports - are just "services" like trash. And recycling. These are just things within the economy, within the country. There doesn't need to be a free market and competition for those things and privatization - paying CEO's and marketing and all that that is needed in a corporate structure.
RT (look how much Russian propaganda this is!): https://www.rt.com/russia/570820-conflict-between-church-and-bolsheviks/ "‘There is no God here’: How conflict between the Orthodox Christian Church and the Soviet Union helped define modern Russia" sub-text: 105 years ago, the Bolsheviks were excommunicated
------>
I think about this as well, would or will be, Jesus, peace be upon him, be a or more of a communist? (- Free people of the world and peace and harmony on earth - the Divine Law being the highest law - Free migration of people to live anywhere in the world of their choosing, true justice being implemented on/at a worldwide scale, etc...).
----------- Lots of thoughts - Not the most pleasing to read - Too much info at one time - "I know though" - its good for my notes - my brain - maybe could be good for others - just a warning though -- - Am not the best writer, speaker, author...thinker. I'm a pretty good systems thinker I think, decently anyway, understanding of things but unable to express it very well - am a visual person...(I think most people are as well...).
Then I think it is also interesting to think about merging - combining - weighing - : Circular economic principles with Keynesian economics (more at the world global trade level and for National Gov. Economics) with Marxist economics with practical ("industrial")economics with Islamic Economics or other moral ethical based economic ideas and ideals....
....and then interesting to think about our (American) constitution and constitutional rights (individual rights) along with property rights...and the taking of power via corporations and elites to manipulate and employ in the world biological modification and other technologies (whatever they want to do, without any public permission or anyone else's consent) and corporations buying up land while people you know...
Then and also our E.P.A's inscribed declared mission and inscribed duties for/to the American public that, yes as stated, was inscribed - vested to it by Congress and how our Supreme Court and later Congress' may be or have acted against these duties and rights (limiting the EPAs ability to carry out their duties) to the harm of the American people because of willful neglect and contempt to act upon climate change findings, especially knowing the corruption and so, manipulation of political processes carried out by big fossil fuel companies...eh anyway....that gets complicated, yes, but it is questionable...
Is pretty easy to get "lost in the world"...

Consciousness is a kind of Mirage or
3:24 dream
3:26 partially self-created through the ego's
3:29 projections
3:32 Karma
3:34 partially through the souls trajectory
3:37 and teleological destiny
3:43 but none of that is real
3:48 except as information
3:55 and at the level of the Supreme
3:58 Consciousness there is only
4:01 light that carries information
4:07 Divine Light
4:09 light that
4:12 emanates directly the energy of
4:16 infinite love
4:19 and Carries
4:21 that truth
4:24 that can be partially
4:27 translated into symbolic forms
4:30 but only partially
4:40 and so to a sage at that level
4:44 nothing is ever happening
4:48 because there is no world there are no
4:51 others there is no I even there is just
4:54 that there is just presence
4:57 presence that understands everything
5:00 presence that's infinitely intelligence
5:03 presence that is the source of the
5:06 information of the dream field
5:09 but that presence is presence to itself
5:15 not to any other
5:19 and so
5:21 the illusion of some events happening in
5:24 a world does not occur
5:28 in that consciousness
5:31 nothing changes
5:34 that level of consciousness
5:36 is eternal
5:39 and the Blissful Luminosity just never
5:43 dim
5:45 or alter
6:00 however
6:02 for those who are at lower levels of the
6:05 spectrum of Consciousness there is
6:07 indeed a world
6:11 and at the ego level that world is now
6:15 in a very perilous state
for one still identified with body and
14:37 with the ego
14:40 mental stream of consciousness
14:44 a great deal of effort
14:46 is required
14:50 to sustain the Attunement to
14:52 god-consciousness sufficiently
14:55 to eliminate the sanskaras
14:59 of the ego the traces of its uh
15:02 delusional projections
15:04 and it's uh
15:07 antagonisms and lack of love and uh
15:14 lack of Freedom lack of Free Will lack
15:19 of
15:20 capacity to stand alone
15:23 without desire for uh enjoyments in the
15:28 phenomenal plane and without attachments
15:32 and codependencies
15:35 that that level of Consciousness will
15:38 not prove to be sufficient to
15:44 psychologically survive through the next
15:47 phase
15:48 that the world will have to go through
15:50 as we are all tested
15:53 in the approach
15:56 to the Omega point
and so this work
24:43 should not be delayed
24:46 or diverted from for any other
24:51 intentions
24:54 even while the body mind functions doing
24:58 all of its service
25:00 supporting the community within the
25:02 dream field and acting
25:06 frictionlessly
25:07 with friendliness and cheerfulness but
25:12 without attachments without collusions
25:15 without codependencies without special
25:18 relationships without gossip without
25:22 Secrets without judgments and
25:25 projections
25:27 but with cleanliness
25:30 spiritual
25:33 spiritual hygiene of not contaminating
25:37 the morphogenic field of the community
25:39 with any negative thoughts or vibrations
25:45 this is our responsibility to each other
25:48 if we have any care for each other
25:54 and for the upliftment of the community
25:56 as a whole
25:59 so I hope we are
26:02 bound to that ethic
26:06 and uh
26:08 and that level of
26:10 consideration
26:15 uh to practice
26:18 such psychological hygiene

so tonight we will continue our ongoing
0:45 discussion
0:46 of the paradoxes of Seva
0:51 this morning we talked about the
0:52 paradoxes of Wu way
0:55 the catch-22
0:57 that makes it impossible
1:00 to achieve Wu way because you can't
1:02 really make effort to be effortless
1:05 so the whole thing is hopeless
1:09 now the Christian monks had an even
1:11 worse problem
1:13 because they were trying to teach
1:15 humility as the key to service
1:19 but they didn't have anyone who could
1:20 teach it
1:24 because anyone who claimed they were
1:25 humble enough to teach it was guilty of
1:28 being somebody who is not humble by
1:32 definition
1:40 so I dare not talk about this without
1:41 sitting on the floor
1:45 foreign
1:48 so it's an impossible situation if you
1:50 claim to be humble then of course it's
1:52 true you're not you have to be humble
1:54 indirectly
1:57 but all of these paradoxes were not a
2:02 problem for advaita
2:05 Ramana cut through them very easily
2:09 he used to say to people who asked these
2:11 kinds of questions
2:12 look if you've got a chicken
2:17 you can't use half of it for laying eggs
2:20 in the other half for frying
2:28 hardly anybody know what he meant by
2:30 that
2:32 but it's pretty obvious
2:34 that if you're going to go on about
2:36 having a humble ego then you're not
2:38 going to get beyond the ego
but because the Christian monk does not
3:56 have the concept of the Atman
4:01 his only recourse when he falls into sin
4:05 and cannot escape from it and realizes
4:08 the hopelessness of his situation
4:10 that he cannot even attain real humility
4:14 because the ego will always make it into
4:16 a facade the ego the sensor will use it
4:19 for its agenda
4:21 then the only hope he has is to finally
4:24 come to terms with the impossibility
4:27 and Achieve what they called a broken
4:29 heart
4:34 and by this it's really it meant a
4:37 broken ego
4:38 a recognition that the ego is hopeless
4:42 it can't be tamed and it is sinful in
4:47 its very nature
4:49 and that broken-heartedness that
4:52 recognizes that the ego's intentions
4:54 lead to Perdition
4:57 to hell
4:58 suffering
5:01 and that there is no way
5:05 to tame the ego to transform it into
5:09 sinlessness
5:11 that broken heart
5:13 of realizing one's condition
5:16 paradoxically
5:18 liberates one from
5:23 the full acceptance
5:25 of the total catastrophe of egoicoi
5:30 with no hope
5:33 okay this is why Dante had on the the
5:36 sign above the door to Hell abandon all
5:39 hope he who enter here
5:42 it's very important that we have the
5:44 same kind of sign up here
5:47 even though this is hopefully not a hell
5:50 Realm but the hope of the ego must be
5:54 let go of
5:56 this cannot be done as an egoic project
6:03 it can only be done through
6:07 the equivalent of the broken heart that
6:09 the monks were talking about
6:11 the recognition that the ego is not
6:17 serviceable
6:20 to attain
6:21 the kingdom of heaven
6:24 and it must be junked
6:27 it must be surrendered and thrown into
6:31 the fire
6:32 it is not a vehicle of liberation it is
6:36 the vehicle of imprisonment
6:45 and so once you recognize that this
6:47 chicken that Rahman is talking about
6:49 this ego chicken
6:53 is not really good
6:55 for anything except cooking on the
6:58 sacred fire
7:02 then you get on with that process...
he would bring out a little map of the
10:26 the world and he'd say point out where
10:29 you are you know you could barely find
10:31 it you know Elliot or somewhere in North
10:33 America at the time
10:35 and then there would be a picture okay
10:38 of the solar system I'll point out where
10:40 you are and you try to follow there's
10:41 the Earth Here I Am how important is
10:43 your problem think of yourself in the
10:45 context
10:47 of the universe
10:48 and then of the vastness of multiple
10:51 universes
10:52 and of dimensions of angelic
10:56 Consciousness and god-consciousness a
10:59 transcend all universes how important is
11:02 your problem
11:06 and once you recognize that it
11:09 it's easy to let go of it all
11:17 I had another teacher who would ask
11:21 somebody who had a problem well
11:23 10 years from now how important will
11:26 this have been to you
11:29 and then if they say oh well still
11:31 important they said okay 25 years right
11:34 now
11:37 and if it's still important then how
11:38 about 25 lifetimes from now how
11:41 important will this be to you
11:44 eventually one would realize no this
11:47 whole thing is insignificant because the
11:49 ego is insignificant
11:53 and once one no longer tries to be
11:55 significant that is liberation
12:02 and that's humility
12:06 and that's being natural and effortless
12:10 so East and West are united in this
12:13 realization
12:16 whether in space or in time
12:19 if we take the full coordinates of the
12:22 real
12:23 whatever we're concerned with is
12:25 absolutely irrelevant
12:28 to the true nature of what is going on
12:33 and the only importance is the surrender
12:37 of all of the ego's concerns
12:44 and the only thing to be concerned with
12:46 is how well the ego is being cooked
12:49 and whether she was enjoying the meal
12:53 there's nothing else
13:00 so if you can hold on to that
13:02 perspective
Pictures leading with monkey not see, monkey not hear monkey not speak monkey not even think evil (badly towards others, etc. - "All will be returned to Allah, lest Allah forgives us - "be clean" - this is spiritual and the GREATER Jihad - and the way to NOT speak evil or throw a xbox remote through our T.V. screen (just an example - literal though). But uh, yes, the battle with the ego is...in some ways pointless cause then the focus is on ego and you get stuck in your head too much other than just being...When I'm moving and smiling, that's when ego escapes me even if it is still there with some judgements about self in the consciousness and brain somewhere my thinking brain knows in reality, am doing no wrong, this is good" there are right thoughts" "it's okay, am just being negative" "move on" - "I can't", let go" - "how" - "Stop thinking" - "stop thinking". The mind is the prison...eh...ha, "smile, it's sunnah".

[30] minutes - I'm not this pessimistic but I put my hope in Allah Subhannah Wallah Tallaha. Things will definitely be hard though, no denying that. No need to worry or get depressed or upset about it. The good thing about the prison of the mind and the self is that YOU are you. One can stay in there bed and do whatever one does, it's okay. Is like the people leaving Ukraine when the invasion first started. Everyone else is crying for them when they themselves are the ones going through it, and they're just living and taking action, doing this, doing that, getting out of the country. It's okay to cry. It's okay to feel sorrow. Empathy. It's what makes us human. It's good...humility is the real state of the human. Not ego not this not that. I'm not my mind. I'm not my body. I'm not my emotions. I am human though. I'm adaptable. It'll be okay. Change is constant.
Let's change our society. Let us change the world. I don't like this path. I'm not okay with it. I'm not okay with A.I. as something, as an intelligence. I'm not okay with my government and their actions and path and "visionless vision". This is a path of technopunk - of mad max climate catastrophe - of neo-feudalism - of increasing multipolarity but in a bad way - of economic and militaristic blocks. Of increasing militarism. Of increasing greenhouse gas emissions - we're escalating military arms/weapons and potential armageddon scale war (devastating just looking at it with regards to CO2) and shipping more LNG across the world instead of using pipelines - making supply chains MORE complex and longer... (carrying on) - Of increasing racial tensions which leads to more real violence on the streets, in our neighborhoods. Just more and more tensions and more Humans versus other Humans. (- how smart and sane is that? - Sometimes the right thing, doesn't even have to make logical sense in the moment - to our rational thinking brains influenced by our emotions and biases and thinking about ourselves and our egos - or not being aware of our personal biases and weaknesses that is...wrong thinking, - we can make mistakes - often -none are perfect except God - "I am" I)
I suggest that
40:13 we would do well to untrivialize or realize moral language and yes I'm talking about Good and Evil good and
40:19 evil are not merely relative they're not merely context dependent in all healthy cultures in all
40:25 traditional societies good and evil have always applied to ecological Integrity social coherence and personal wholeness
