Dear Charles and Associates and Watchers,
Without having a totally clear picture of your true intentions and what is going on, it is difficult to communicate through the ever changing information and disinformation of confusion that we all live in. I suppose this is intentional.
It seems that there are aggressive pure Blood-lines and Watchers of pure non-involvement. One is human the other non human. I only realised yesterday that I am a reptilian hybrid. Parts of me were shocked, or rather my body was. “Oh, I wondered what that was for!” To those who feel they must own the earth and the skies: be our guest. It is only moving particles in space. A relative reality.
I would like to question the idea of purity.
The pure blood-lines seem to be driven by excessive desire , aversion and indifference. The watchers seem to be driven by just excessive indifference. Is that it? Is that all? Every atom in the universe is driven by these very same forces: even our ordinary minds are driven by these force. Surely there must be more to it all?
Does 'pure' mean open, clear, transparent? Or does 'pure' have another meaning? My understanding is that wisdom - and so purity - begins at the 9th level of consciousness
Still... what do I know? I'm only a hybrid!
If one thinks one is pure, that is, in itself, is a flaw, because it's still a concept, and the actual experience of purity is obscured. It's an idea held about purity - not purity itself. I wouldn't worry about it - I get it wrong all the time! Most of us do. That's where the humour comes in.
The true outcome of purity has to be...compassion. If you know that you are totally right, totally happy, and that no outside force can disturb you – then that is confidence! Not even a thousand buddhas could destroy that. Then there is nothing to maintain or defend. When you know that you know, all that remains to be done is to help others. The strong serve the weak. When you have true compassion, you have everything that you ever wished for!
Every sentient being, from a microbe to a Buddha, has an enlightened nature. It is our true essence, but we just don't recognise it yet. Every enlightened being has been a sentient being. That is why we must respect life.
It is said that intense intelligence, intense emotions and intense compassion are the great qualities on the path to enlightenment. So Earth is a perfect place to practise - and even more so in the age of strife.
What is the essence of pure enlightenment? It is empty essence and cognisant nature, and the indivisibility of these two. Empty means pure, clear, open, not fabricated. Cognisant means just knowing, aware without judging, reflecting like a mirror.
Once one realises these two aspects of being, one recognises that all other living beings have this same nature, but they do not notice it yet. That is when compassion/empathy arises. Compassion means that you try and help – rather than sitting in a cave or glistening, multi-dialled spaceship hoping it will all turn out right..rather like watching a game of the survival of the fittest.
With compassion comes joy, but there is also sadness, which is empathy.
A definition of ego is awareness without the empty quality: this awareness grasps at what it sees as attractive or is repelled by anything it has an aversion to. It believes that everything it sees is real, like itself...which it is not! It is ignorant of its empty essence. There has to be a unity of emptiness and awareness in order to be liberated.
There is another aspect to enlightenment (this unity of emptiness and awareness); purifying karma. That is our job! That is why we are here! To work out our karma, and reduce it so that our karmic bank is emptied. This can take time, as letting go is not easy, as we still believe that things are solid (and so time exists). In truth, neither things or time truly exist.
We are born with tendencies (nature). We acquire tendencies (nurture). This produces a habitual pattern in the mind. This habit becomes a personality, and we can get stuck in it. We go round and round in circles – and we have to break out and be free.
Every situation that we find ourselves in is a product of our past, our own doings. If we fixate, and so re-act in the same old way - however clever it may be - we collect more engrained karma. Cause and effect!
We get stuck in a hole of our own digging. What makes it all the more difficult is when someone gives you a pretty spade and suggests the hole will be good for you - when it's actually for their benefit. This is just futile diligence!
The answer is soooo simple. You just will not believe it! No, you won't! It's to do nothing! Stop being the same old you, caught in a programme.
In the moment of not re-acting, and just letting be and merely noticing, no karma is acquired. That is the beginning of purity. Your reactions are only a residue from your past continuous actions. Just let be. Stop playing with it! Stop holding on, clinging or fixating. It will only tie you in knots!
Reacting to an illusion only makes the illusion seem real and solid. That is delusion.
This doesn't mean that you do nothing – just that you are just not responding out of habit. You now can be spontaneous, creative and free. Of course, you won't always get it right – and again, that is where humour comes in!
The word Buddha means knowing and pure = great compassion.
This is absolute reality.
