Log Off The Operating System

In childhood you had their operating system installed in you mind by teachers/parents/media etc.

Forget Trying and Doing, and move into Being. Find the inner-self.

Our socialisation is obtained by us absorbing from the environment. With the media constructed version of reality being projected at us on a conscious and subconscious level.

"At the end of the spiritual road....there is nothing left to do.

One simply rests in the natural ground of our existence, which can be called "pure consciousness".

All spiritual practices are just beautiful distractions if we are not finding this place in ourselves.

It is not the subject of the intellectual mind. It is the most enlightened dimension of our being.

It is not owned by any religious denomination.

If any sect or tradition claims that they have ownership over it, means that they know nothing about it.

Pure consciousness is present in each of us right now and we can be aware of it, but we cannot practice it or attain it.

Instant enlightenment is quite an old notion in the Buddhist tradition. It is this idea that we can practically stumble across the highest level of liberation in a single moment without any cause, without any process, without any warning.

Sudden liberation, or enlightenment, happens because pure consciousness is already fully developed in each one of us.

Imagine dividing the mind into four portions. The first portion belongs to hatred, the second to obsession or attachment, the third to ignorance, and the final portion is one mind. Most of the time every experience we have is coloured either directly or indirectly by hatred, obsession, or ignorance.
Buddhists call these the three poisons. When we strip our consciousness of these three poisons, what remains is a state of consciousness that is not hatred, obsession, ignorance, thought, projection, or habit.
What remains as the ground of our mind is Buddha mind.

It can be pointed out."

"Their operating system" consists of their patterns of behaviour trying to replicate in us and so grow, and so perpetuate and expand their existence.

These patterns of behaviour are real, living things. They start with a thought-form, then emotion-forms are added and then you have a defined complex and a pattern that becomes a habit. That habit "shares itself" with anyone it can, so that other people will take on the habit too and then the habit grows and becomes a collective habit.

We can view our habits with astrology (the most scientific way) or tarot (the most intuitive way).

Our habits are our archetypes. Our archetypes are all blended with each other according to how our planets interact with our charts, and with the planets of other people.

These archetypes are the basis of our genes.

These genes/archetypal patterns are handed on down and down and down, seeking LIFE through us and as many other people as possible. If you look carefully at your chart, and your parents' charts, and your children's charts, you can see the same patterns reappearing over and over.

When we can step away from our patterns, we can chose to let them live through us, or not.

We can drop the patterns that cause us or others internal or external pain.

We can drop the repetitions because that is how Life stagnates. We can keep our patterns fluid and flexible and ever-changing and so allow Life to explore and expand through us in novel and exciting ways.

We can "stay slippery", so to speak. This means our patterns of behaviour do not have a hold on us. We can pick them up and put them down again. They do not 'live' on automatic pilot through us any more, we just borrow them when we feel like it. (This will piss them off! they will try to reinstate themselves).

Now we are freeing ourselves of self, of the little ego.

Now we are loosening ourselves from the Matrix because the Matrix is made up of these interacting archetypal patterns.

Without our patterns, who are We?

It's a good question to ponder..............
