Buddha Enlightenment



Written by Mathew Naismith

As it was asked recently:

What exactly do you gain from withholding love, kindness and honour from yourself and others?

My Reply: "Wealth and power." Also; "Is enlightenment, as in Buddha enlightenment, of wealth and power? It is simply of letting go of what is controlling you, this also means your own control. Enlightenment is all about letting go of control therefore wealth and power.

Can enlightenment feel like wealth and powerful to human consciousness? Yes, in the process negating real enlightenment. The trick to real enlightenment, love, kindness and honour is to not see it as taking control and turning it into any kind of wealth and empowerment as this simply refers to control.

Look at it this way Tawny, what are you doing when you take yourself away from an unbecoming circumstance or person? You are not controlling them but you are also not allowing them to control you simply through letting go of control. Let's be honest here, any kind of wealth and power is all about control, the very same thing we are suppose to be letting go of!!"   

You could also call this enlightenment Yogic, shamanic, God, sage, Shiva, Jesus or what ever enlightenment, to me it is still of the same enlightenment.

Love, kindness and honour are naturally a part of enlightenment without any intentions of energy expended to gain love, kindness and honour. If you have to expend a lot of energy to gain enlightenment, it is often known in the western mind as not being of Buddha enlightenment.

You may think honour has nothing to do with enlightenment. Honour in this case is like humbling oneself, bestowing honour upon all that is without prejudice or bias. This is not easy for the ego to do.

So does the ego have to expend a lot of energy to gain awareness to the point of becoming enlightened?

You are actually letting go of expending energy with enlightenment, but to the ego this will feel like expending energy. Expending means to have something to payout for something received for this expenditure. Within an enlightened state there is nothing you own to expend, also, nothing to receive for something you owned you had to expend to gain enlightenment. Even in relation to time expended, you don't own time to payout in the first place to gain enlightenment. Enlightenment is the realisation that you are not expending any kind of energy to gain enlightenment, for there is nothing to gain in the first place!!

Helping Each Other, As a Collective



Written by Mathew Naismith

I can think of no great wise and aware soul in human history that simply sat within their own safe havens and let things occur around them, in actuality the opposite occurred. I think Buddha and Jesus in the west are prime examples of this, even though Jesus and Buddha are of eastern origin. Look within your own culture honestly and you will see that no great wise and aware soul simply sat in their own safe havens.

Are we waiting for some great saviour to save us again, or, sit within our own safe havens of love, light and positiveness while completely ignoring the obvious? The true wise and aware are not waiting for a saviour or simply sit within their own safe havens to stay positive, they observe what is often deemed negative in a completely different way. People like me don't look at our present environment as being separate to ourselves, or simply negative therefore something to avoid, we see it as simply something like a consciousness lost within its own creation.

Hate groups are formed by participating in the separation of energy, for example, positive from negative, black from white. Within the participation of such separation, hate, ostracising, disdain, etc, are naturally created, however, through the observation of energy a union of energy occurs, not a separation. The reason for this lies in that when one is participating in relation to energy, a desired outcome is proffered. When in observation of energy, even when observing your own participation, you become more honestly truthful in relation to energy. If all you are doing is ignoring the negatives to become positive, this is not a sign of observation but purely of participation in the absence of any true observation, in all honest truth. And in all honesty, participation in the absence of unbiased observation is of desired truths, not honest truths.

So what have we created or manifested sitting within our own personal safe havens today? This is while we are still looking at negatives as something separate to ourselves, and of course something to be ignored and scorned.  Will we ever start learning from our past instead of suffering from it!!

At present, I am unable to blog a post about exposing hate groups. Yes, I can create a blog but the blog is virtually invisible as it is deemed to be hatful. As I don't know when honest truth become disdainful, I don't know when awareness become hatful!!

Now, if you are abused by a hatful group of people, even if it's Nazis, you can't talk about it on the net because it is deemed hatful to Nazis. So if you now want to talk about the atrocities of the Nazis during WWII, it will now have to be deemed to be hatful by the present regime trying to control the whole world. However, this is while the same exact regime, not just allows but supports another well known hate group dominating another people, the Palestinians, they distastefully hate with a vengeance. Imagine for a moment being invaded by a people who notably hate you with a vengeance. Yes, but this is alright as long as we are safe, right!!

So in our safe havens we are manifesting for a better existence, while it is obvious this kind of manifesting is creating a monster. No wise and aware consciousness is going to help another consciousness that has no intentions in helping itself, in truth, quite the opposite, what would be the point?

The great wise and aware of human history have shown us how to interact with energy, either it be negative and positive, black and white, not negative or positive, black or white. What have we chosen to do instead? Manifest a monster, a regime that will control everything we are, in service to its own desires, not to the real needs of the collective.

Make no mistake, like Buddha and Jesus who didn't just sit within their own personal safe havens, you too can be within any environment and stay true to yourself and in complete harmony. Just because you are involved, doesn't mean you become what you are involved in. It has everything to do with the way you interact and use energy. By just sitting their within your own personal love, light and positiveness, is an abuse of energy by manifesting a monster that is simply about its own desires. Of course if these desires coincide with your own, to serve the desires of a few, all the better for you but not the collective.

We are conditioned at present to separate one from the other to serve our own personal desires, but we can also condition ourselves to unite energy as a whole to serve the collective, the choice is indeed ours. No great wise and aware soul will try to help us if we don't start honestly and truthfully helping ourselves. To manifest such a monster is not a sign we are trying to help ourselves, especially when we are completely ignoring the truly wise and aware of our time in how to interact with energy as a whole, not in parts.

So why do people like me try to help the collective, if the truly wise and aware won't help us until we begin to help ourselves?  In relation to wisdom and awareness, people like me are average, in other words probably more of a participator than an observer of energy, which is obviously our choice also.........
