Insight on the 8th Ox Herding Picture

[Orb]

Some notes from my journal I wanted to share:

 

The 8th picture makes sense now! 

 

 

 

"Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless."

 

 

 

I have been tapped into the "absolute" and feeling so deeply into it, yet there's a subtle aversion from the co creative "process". 

 

 

 

The Absolute is an indescribable "Tuning in" to the True Nature, complete aliveness, all of the so called senses are gone (there have never been senses), just pure aliveness, every texture of sensation is the same vibration. It is incredible, I literally just sit down in the middle of the store I work at sometimes and the Tuning in wipes out all of reality. Something that I can never speak of reveals itself. The sages have called it "Silence", but it isn't the absence of "Sound". 

 

 

 

Co-Creation is the play of Consciousness. It is when we are talking with friends, when we are talking about politics, when we are at work helping customers, spending time with family, etc. 

 

 

 

"I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists."

 

 

 

No longer being attached to Co-Creation nor the True Nature of Being. No longer preferring one over the other. We can gracefully dance between feeling deeply into our Being AND Co-Creating. 

 

 

 

"Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me."

 

 

 

This is the true embodiment of No-Self. 

 

The duality between the Absolute and Co-Creation collapses. Since we see we cannot remain in the Absolute nor can we remain in the Co-Creation Process, we see fundamentally that we are neither of them fundamentally. 

 

 

 

"If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless."

 

 

 

Because there is no longer identification with the Self nor is there identification with the unfoldment of Co-Creation, " it seems that self-referencing finally fades away. Hence, the picture is blank.

The World Sphere is Infinite Fullness, Vibration. 

 

The Lens Sphere is what creates the sense of "you". Whatever feels like You in your direct experience is the Lens.

 

Through this generated sense of Me-ness two things are created: 

 

-The sense of being inside the World Sphere

 

-The concentrated energy of the Lens also appears as thought, allowing for Co-Creation. 

 

Since I am appearing as both of these Vibrational Concentrations, I am fundamentally neither of them.
