There is only passage of time

Whatever the senses come across, forms an image.

Now, why does an image form?

An image forms because the actual object may change at another rate.

While we humans have a “Sense of time” or a rate at which everything changes.

If it changes slowly, an image forms and it changes at the rate of our “sense of time”.

Hence and Image forms. 

This image changes at a certain rate while the actual situation or object changes at its own rate.

The Image is not the object.

The human body in which the senses exist does not allow this image to change as the human body itself changes at a different and slower rate. 

There is resistance. The human body does not allow this image to become its past. Things or situations I have encountered.

At enlightenment, a void forms and this image passes into the past, without any resistance and without touching the physical body. 

For an enlightened man, there is only the past and the future. The present is a void through which time passes from the future to the past. The future lies ahead of him and the past behind him. He does not move in time, he is stagnant, while the objects move from the future to the past. He feels the passage of time. Objects move from the future to the past or from the front to the behind. As long as they are in the front, they are the future, the moment they move behind, they become the past. 

As the images of situations pass into the past with time, they carry with them an image of the enlightened man into the past leaving an emptiness in the present. 

The consequences of the event are seen, but only after they have encountered the image of the enlightened man and have moved into the past. 

The void provides a passage

As time passes, every event or situation that we encounter must pass into the past.

But this does not happen as our physical bodies act as a barrier. We encounter the event through our senses and our senses are a part of our physical body. 

Thus the physical body acts as a barrier. 

As these events are not allowed to pass into the past, they keep accumulating in the front of our physical bodies and form our mind. If we close our eyes, they will be visible. This is proven by the fact that our imagination is always in the front, we do not have to turn back to know our imaginations. If we close our eyes, it is in the front. As time passes, the external situation changes, things might move, but the previous situation that “quanta” of energy was not able to pass into the past. The memory remains and pushes the human body to give them a way to pass into the past. 

For example, I see a red car passing by. Externally the car has passed by in a few seconds, but the human body acts as a barrier and does not allow the car to pass into the past, creating a memory of the car. This memory creates desire. Now the desire is to own the car thinking that by owning we will be able to push the car into the past. This is a trap, even by owning it the car cannot be pushed into the past. All such events keep accumulating in and form the memory or the mind. 

As time passes, these events struggle to pass into the past, but alas, they are stuck. In the process they accumulate energy, waiting to be released and because of these they have a swabhava or nature. These things in the memory hava swabhava. Reality has no swabhava or nature. Reality does not have an essence or Self nature. 

At enlightenment, a void forms in the body that allows these pictures/memories to pass into the past the moment they emerge – almost in no time – instantly. 

Also, after enlightenment, every event we encounter passes into the past without accumulation at the body-front. These memories do not touch the body at all and pass into the past through the void. 

While there occurs no change to the object. The object remains pristine. 

Now nothing can be held. The red car we talked about has passed into the past – there is no more time to pursue it. The things we consider good and worthy of pursuing also pass into the past in an instant leaving no time to pursue them. The mind says that it is gone. It gives you a reason not to pursue. It tells you it has gone sour.

Images of things we consider bad also pass into the past almost instantly leaving us no time to take care of them. Since we cannot take care of them by stopping them which requires time, the mind tells us that the damage has been caused and the repercussions are coming. There is no time. It has caused the damage – this is probably the damage that I have been talking about. 

But the whole happens in the image realm. Nothing touches the physical body pulling the physical body into the picture. 

These were the stories of the images. The actual objects cannot pass into the past, they are always in the present. They are unchanging. 

Thus after enlightenment, things fade. Nothing remains good and worth pursuing. The real objects are forever. 

Nothing remains to be desired or worth pursuing. 

Universe is the past

I am standing at the forefront of the universe. The whole universe is behind me. For me the whole universe is the past.

Past in Beyond the Senses

The body acts as a barrier to time or change. Time is not allowed to pass – for sometime. The body does not allow change to take place – but the body itself changes with time – time is a super force. There is no force greater than time. The body allows, but partial changes. The partial changes await at the body. Every partial change, as absorbed by the senses, is stuck at the body barrier and they keep accumulating – some lead to changes within the body (like heartbeat, blood flow and other body functions) and some change the body in space – movement. But the changes are still not complete. 

Before enlightenment, there is only a future (and no past) as nothing has passed into the past – everything is lying ahead of us. Whatever has happened waits at the physical body and is always ahead of us, never behind. These events are waiting to relieve themselves as they are stuck at the body. 

As a man gets enlightened, a void forms in the body and all partial changes that were stuck at the body barrier are allowed to flow (through the void) into the past and complete themselves thereby making themselves devoid of potential or essence. They had essence or potential as they were not allowed to pass into the past and were stuck. They lose their potential and become the past. They lose their potential while they pass through the void.

This place called the “past” is infinite as there is no physical body that stands as a barrier to time. 

This “past” that is beyond the void is beyond the senses.

And everything that is perceived by the senses is without essence. 

With time, if the body does not allow time to pass, time carries the body along with it – it is called death. 

I am looking backwards

As long as the body exists, nothing is allowed to pass into the past. The body stands as a barrier. As time passes the changes (in the present) accumulate in the body creating mind – every event and non-event, negative or positive, since birth keeps accumulating and forms the future as they are not able to pass into the past. Since everything “lies ahead”, there is always a future, which will be the repetition of the things accumulating. The past keeps coming back in the mind as the future – or whatever happens in the past. 

At a certain point, the changes change him – taking him away – this is called death. 

Suddenly there is a void in the physical body that allows the present to move into the past continuously. Suddenly everything is the past. The mind is the past. The reality is the past. Whatever the senses perceive is the past – there is no future. Only the physical body is the present – standing at the forefront and every other thing lies behind it. The physical body is the present and everything lies behind it just like a comet. 

What he thinks or sees has already happened(is the past) unlike another with whom it is about to happen. 

For an ordinary man mind is the future while for an enlightened man the mind or whatever the senses perceive is the past. He is the point of contact with the future – facing – in the forefront. Everything else is behind him. There is no future. He can create the future. 

Every event must past into the past along with the passage of time (passing of time is manifested by changes around). But earlier they were stuck at the body and were not allowed to move into the past thus they remained incomplete pushing the body to change – thereby creating energy. With this energy they pushed the physical world to complete themselves – thus manifesting themselves – acting as per their essence.

They would complete themselves with they are allowed to sync with time.

As now, since there is a void, every event pass into the past and as they pass into the past they completes themselves, thus no trace o them remains. They become completely empty of their essesence, that was there earlier because of their inability to complete themselves.

As they pass into the past, they complete themselves thus their essence is taken away, thereby diffusing them completely.

After enlightenment, I allow everything to pass into the past, thereby I take away their essence or nature or potential.

Who am I? I know both the physical body, the void and the process.

I am massless

I have become aware that I am empty, massless. I have realized that I am just empty – not an empty container, but infinitely empty – there is no end to the emptiness. 

Self realization is the realization that one is empty.

I have become aware that I do no longer have a body – it has been set aside leaving me empty.

I have realized that I am alone. Since I am alone & no one in my rescue, I am afraid.

Because I am afraid, I questioned – Who is afraid if the physical body has been set aside? There must be someone who is afraid

I realized that the awareness is personified – otherwise who is afraid?

The “I” is the awareness. 

But If I am alone – without a second, who am I scared of, there is nobody. 

Since I am alone, who is there to scare me? There is no one to scare me. 

My “being afraid” is false – it is assuming that someone is there. But it is only the emptiness. I am afraid of not people, but of no-people.

I am afraid of the emptiness and not of another. 

Whatever is, is non-physical and an observed phenomenon. Nothing in me touches the physical body iit has been set aside. The awareness has become alone by setting aside the physical body.

The physical body is needed because the awareness “I” (who knows that there is nobody) expresses itself through the physical body or is reflected through the physical body.  

The “I” is not the physical body. Even to utter that “I” to express the personification , the physical body is needed – hence the body. 

The physical body is a tool available to the awareness. 

But the “I” is only the knowledge that there is nobody.  

Just like the leaf, the physical body expresses the “awareness” – The physical body is not aware of its own nature.

After Enlightenment…

Part of me is here and part elsewhere.

Elsewhere, but where?

In the past. 

What happens when something comes up?

Why do I feel empty?

Where does the other part go?

It goes and fits itself somewhere in the past which fits best to the situation, thus dissipating the energy. 

That is why I feel empty now.

I have been divided into two – one is fixed in the present and the other is loose and keeps going back. 

Earlier I was one. 

If I am here, the other half is elsewhere, somewhere in the past – making me feel empty.

Earlier, I was taken to the past. 

Negative and Positive (the opposites) exist together. If the opposite is not allowed to exist, it is created in some time. For an ordinary person alternating are positive and negative.

We resist the negative which leads to its manifestation – 

Now. the space for the existence of the negative has been provided – as the negative of the truth also needs to exist. 

When truth happens, the negative is also simultaneously created – if it does not find a place, it will turn the truth to its opposite – which will not be allowed.

But truth must prevail, thus the space for the negative is created – creating emptiness. 

Nothing of my own

I had a goal – I have given up

I had a timeline to meet – I have given up

I an growing old – I don’t know

Now Nature has a goal for me – but I don’t know what it is

Nature decides the timeline

Nature decides how fast I should run

Whether I should run or walk or do nothing

There is fear as I give up control

But I still wait

I know when my rate of change is my own and not borrowed, everything will fall into place

What is my uniqueness

Why the trouble?

Why the fear? Others will do what I want to do. 

Others will achieve what I want to achieve. 

But I cannot be replaced. My work can be replaced. 

The question is who am I?

What is the importance of me?

How do I define myself? Do I have a definition?

What is the uniqueness that is impossible to replace or defeat? 

My spontaneity is unique. The way I respond to a “call” is unique.

How often I respond to a call is unique – the rate. 

It cannot be taught.

Let Nature make me because I am unique. 

Nature makes me who I am. 

Nature makes me unique.

Let nature call, and I will respond. 

Nature calls as per my rate of change – my rate of change is unique to me. 

If I allow nature to change me, it will make me change as per my unique rate. 

My rate of change is unique.

How do I deduct my work from me?

Let my work be very little?

Let there be no work but only response.

Response at a rate that is unique to me.

If there is no call, I will do nothing in particular. 

True Nature | Time | Detours

One’s true nature is the rate at which he, she or it changes with time. 

Everything in this universe has its true nature – rate of change as per their true nature. Everything in this universe has a different rate of change – A tree takes decades to grow, a bee flaps its wings 200 times a second, a horse runs fast, mountains change in millions of years – according to their true nature. Humans are also different – they have their own true nature. If one is not changing as per its true nature, it will cease to exist and be born again to match its true nature. In an extreme case, he or she either dies, or adheres to his true nature – it is a shift – one gets enlightened.

Whatever detours I have been forced to take were for me to match my rate of change. My rate of change makes me unique as the rate of change is different for everyone.

Almost 99.99% of people change together – because they follow the chronological clock – the crowd, they move how the crowd moves. Only 0.01% change as per their nature and thus they become visible – their uniqueness comes to the surface – they look different. Whole world has been made to follow a clock and they change, not as per their true nature, but as per the chronological clock.

Now I am changing as per my true nature. There is nothing to do. It will automatically change. Whenever I go fast, I am brought back. So, I should not try to go fast. 

Whatever happens, all detours, if they all happen, will happen to slow me down to make me match my true nature.
