Meditation and the Purpose of Death as Simulated Light and Illusion
Meditation is part of my life in recent years. At times, I fail to enter this inner space for one reason or another. Upon returning to practice, I notice something essential to the reason meditation is vital to life. When meditating for even a few minutes a day, there are benefits that extend throughout the day. Here are just three of the countless benefits:
1) The feeling of Bliss radiating out from the heart
2) Synchronicity between work and mind
3) Dreams with meaning
I've been very busy in the last few weeks. A few days ago, I was up very early in the morning and decided to meditate for 30 minutes. The rest of my day was fantastic. It was at this moment that I remembered the connection meditation has to the three areas above. This morning, after meditating last night before bed, I had an amazing morning realization after waking from a dream. Here is my waking realization in summary:
Meaning of Life as Simulation
When you are born, you come into the world as a healthy child, full of life. As time passes, you degrade until your body finally wears out. As the saying goes, "you take nothing with you to the grave." This is where my realization in wakeful sleep occurs. If you plot your health from birth to death on a graph, the line would slowly go from full life down to death. Take a second plot on the graph for your knowledge, wisdom, experience, talents and skills. What do you see? For some, the line would move slowly up, but rarely down. No matter how you approach life, the experience of being human will grow your mind. In essence, we only take one thing to the grave--our being and awareness of mind. Indeed, we are planted in a garden for a reason--the fruit!
In Genesis 2, it is stated that the Elohim rested from all of their creative work. Elohim is a very interesting word. It is plural, meaning a unity (yoga) of multiples. The other character you meet in Genesis 1 is Ruach Elohim (Feminine), which is the Spirit (mind) of Elohim. The Genesis 1 account is the creation (bara) of all reality and Adam, the BUDH body for the mind of God to occupy. Considering the fact that we (mind of God) have always existed, Elohim resting is the essence of our collective identity implanted into Adam. When it states that the Elohim rested, where did they rest? DING, DING, DING, DING! In Adam. YOU!
You should now read verses like this with comprehension:
Hebrews 9
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.
Simulation!
Keep in mind these things:
1) BUDH means to awaken in Sanskirt.
2) Manu (mankind) means, "To Think."
3) Mara (illusion) is Buddha's Mother
3) Light comprises all things, which is essentially primal energy, which cannot be created or destroyed. It is eternal.
As you look out across your environment, notice that you see objects (matter), but not light. Light is invisible. Literally, the light that is all around you slowly becomes visible inside (Enlightenment), allowing the mind to eventually discover its source. BUDH - Wake up from the dream! Know Thyself and you discover our common identity. Not one alone (Yachid), but ONE--Echad (Yoga of multiples). UNION from LOVE with purpose. It was a good dream.
