The pinnacle of success or achievement is
so different for each person, one group of people desire a world of material
wealth and power; others desire a world of love and light, of course both world
desires are controlling over the other. For humans, it always comes to the
point that one has to control the other, like the light controlling the dark or
the dark controlling the light, to become predominantly the over all power of
all. However, there is another choice, a choice of neither one nor the other, a
choice of just being. This is likened to an achromatic existence of simplicity
where the pinnacle of our outlook is to just be average.
For people like myself, the mountain
pinnacle is to be average, to just be and let be, of course to be average takes
in our concerns of our environment without also being controlling or
destructive to the light or dark. When people like me observe a consciousness struggling
to find light in the dark for example, we often give advice without forcing our
advice. We simply give different views to the normal point of view; of course,
the normal human point of view seems to be always about one controlling the
other, or more precisely, one destroying the other within its own presses of
control.
To just be and let be, allows us to exist
within an average existence of neither one extreme nor another. Within this
existence, there is no view of being controlling; it is just simply being void
of intentions of being one or the other.
How many of us truly desire to be just
average? It is usually a choice of dark and light, good and bad, rich or poor,
enlightened or not enlightened, aware or not aware. How many people of light
and love desire to be aware of the dark in the world? How many people of the
dark, desire to be aware of the love and light in the world? In this case, we cannot
let things simply just be, it always has to be a choice of either one or the
other. To one or the other, there is no middle ground or neutrality of just
being.
The trick is that you do not desire to be
average; you just let it be void of trying to take control of anything. To
desire is control and of course a control over something else. Desire always
indicates control but to have an outlook of just being average is simply just
being within any existence. This however does not mean we accept the
controlling ways of the dark and light, it simply means we just be void of
having the desire to take control over anything. Of course, this also means not
taking control of the natural environment as a whole.
People like me, no matter how destructive
the light is to the dark and the dark to the light, simply give our views to a
simpler more balanced way of existing, of course the light and dark can't
accept this kind of neutral existence, where is the control in this kind
of an existence to start with. Within
this mentality of dark and light, there has to be control over the other, I
often view this kind of mentality as a black and white mentality, there can only
be a perception of black and white and one always in control of the other.
Of course, people like me who are neutral
and just have an outlook to just be and let be, are aware that a neutral
balance existence of black and white is beneficial for the whole environment,
in that one not being more predominant over the other. We often have the
perception that one has to be predominant over the other.
OK, I am stating we, which some people obviously have
a hang-up with, an emotional preoccupation with. What does an emotional
preoccupation denote and a control by what human trait? We or us simply means
not just the I as in me myself, the divine mind instead of the ego mind, again
it's this simple, only a controlling ego desires to make more of this!! This is
certainly worth noting at this point.
We often have this perception because to be
honest, we are conditioned to this perception from birth that one has to be
predominant over the other. How many people are born into a country or world at
war? Of course, war/conflicts denote control and dominance by force of one over
the other; we are indeed conditioned to perceiving one has to overcome the
other. The black has to dominate the white of visa-versa. How many people are
born in a family unit where one person or a kind of people are dominating over
the other or others? We are indeed
conditioned to this kind of existence but very few of us are conditioned to an
existence of just having an outlook of just being average in a neutral existence.
At the human level, my ego mind desires to
be more than just average in a chaotic existence; however, my divine mind often
states that I am already at the top of the mountain in being just average and
just being. To my divine mind, there is no higher pinnacle than to just be and
be average; this is because everything else is of the ego mind that desires
rather than having an outlook of just being.
