Universal Wound

Most of us believe that we are separate individuals all experiencing a division between our bodies and spirit.  Divided oneness becomes an oxymoron when human beings are advocating world peace when inner peace cannot be attained.  The deep conditioning that mankind has experienced throughout our civilisation and culture have ensured that we identify with our rational minds.  While the body and the mind interact in an intricate and complex manner to constitute an illusion of self, they are all born out of ONE consciousness.  The idea of a self is an imaginary, but our senses and external world strengthen our belief of separation and solidity continuously.  This has produced harmful thoughts of "me" and "mine" as well as "you" and "yours".  All our deluded thoughts, afflictions, defilements and destructive emotions then follow.

Though they may not be applied by all, there is light at the end of the tunnel if we can adopt ancient teachings from the wise ones.  The solution is where the root of the human problem is.  By reversing this false conception and coming into full awareness of our divine nature, we can reside in true peace.   

Spiritual Blindness

The Sun is the Source and the source

Through which I connect the Self with the self

In repentance, I had experienced life with blindness

Blinded by what I saw with my eyes 

But not what I could see with a pure mind

Vision can be regained

By realisation of the true nature

So subtle, so close, so intimate

Only with such can I see with wisdom  

Through the eyes of love and compassion

Self-forgiveness is what I seek

For my distorted view of reality

Yet so dazzling is the light of Self

It penetrates the darkness that veils my eyes

Bringing me home where I have longed to return 

Can Karma Be Completed?

It is unimportant whether we can complete our karma in this life or not, as it has nothing to do with our awakening.  A simpler definition of karma will be activities arising from mental formations, and they must involve intentions and thought patterns.  But why are we motivated to have such intentions?  Well, our innate greed, aversion and ignorance give rise to impulses that drive us to perform deeds through our body, speech and mind.  And this further provides the fuel to generate more greed, aversion and ignorance, and needless to say, stronger feelings to things we like and dislike.  While karma can be the consequences of our past actions or the causes of our future consequences, they must also be supported with the right conditions for phenomenon to manifest .  Hence the ultimate way to destroy our potential karmic fruits is to eliminate the conditions for them to ripen, or at least lessen the effect.  This can be done through deep self-inquiry when you are aware of your thoughts and intentions and your true motivations behind them.  Healing takes place upon the first inklings of what the interrelations of the human psyche, behaviour and suffering are.
