Tonight, I was working on my writing project. I have been told by many people that I know that I should write a book about my experiences. So, I don’t know if it will turn into a book or not, but I am working on my life’s time line, from birth to the present. What I hope to do is take a look at the entirety of my life and in chronological order. Maybe doing this will help me see where my path is taking me. At minimum, I will definitely learn more in depth details about myself for my path of self-discovery.
Anyway, I was writing along and I began to discuss how I see most things as completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things (i.e. the man made concepts of money, capitalism, politics, “the rule of law,” “responsibilities,” war, religion, etc.). Then I asked myself, “What is the grand scheme?” What is it that REALLY matters? So, I began to wonder, are these (What is the grand scheme? What is it that REALLY matters?) the ultimate questions as opposed to the other questions that are typically asked (i.e. Where are we humans from? Where do we humans go after we die?)?
We have an entire ecosystem just here on Earth made up of more things, beings, and creatures than just us humans. To leave the questions in regards to humans makes us rather arrogant to think that we are the only thing that matters in the grand scheme things. So, to ask what is the grand scheme and what REALLY matters takes the entire interdependent web of existence into consideration rather than just us humans.
But, there are some resulting questions begged:
(1) What grand scheme? Is there such a thing? I believe there is, but how do I know?
(2) What is the source of the grand scheme? To say that there is a grand scheme implies that there is a single source from which it comes.
I am sure the answers to these will beg many other questions.
This is a response I wrote a few minutes ago to something else and I think it goes well here. The ego being the part of us who loves material wealth and being the BMOC.
To remove pain-bodies and disempower the EGO, AWARENESS is the first step. By observing yourself as you respond to outside stimulation, you can put the EGO in it’s proper place to be used as an intuitive tool, or temporary motivator. Our minds are our tools, but our being is who we are.
Think of it like this. Mind is what organizes humanity’s actions on this planet. Being organizes a trillion cells in each human, in addition to the sky, the wind, the molecules in rocks, the ocean, every cell in every fish, the moon, the rotations of the planets, the suns, each of the trillions of suns, each of the trillions and trillions of planets circling the trillions of suns and the trillions of life forms on each of those planets.
Our beingness is much much more powerful, infinitely so, than our minds. But the ego puts the mind on a pedestal, because it is what allows the EGO to BE. Once we focus our attention on the mind’s games, we can be free from it at last and simply BE.
The only reason I am telling you any of this is so I can understand it myself.
