Essential Zen

What if -

Consider that its possible our essential way of being is as an inorganic being, and that we chose to manifest in human form for the sake of experiencing being human...however, in our natural state we are without form.

If so, in that formless state, we are totally exposed, open, visible, perceiveable in our naked totality.

If so, then when we encounter one another, we would instantly be aware of the totality of the other.

So we are everything, and nothing, all possible because "form" isn't available for counter discription

And btw, being in that authentic state does not mean constant bliss, lack of joking around, lack of play, etc. I'm thinking of Monroe's pal in many of his trips, the being he called BB whose raison d'etre was playing games.

We get to experience anger and passion and tragedy and good and evil and love and hate, and beautiful music....is there any music in the afterlife? any cigars, steaks, wine, sex? THAT's what we're here for...is enlightenment the denial of all things sensual? if so, I want nothing of it. What if true enlightenment is merely realizing why we're here and accepting it?

We yearn for that which we can sense is sort of next, perhaps that which we left to come here...gensis of the notion of the apocalypse....why would we want to have that major shift in consciousness? That would fuck up this grand stage where we can do human....you change the rules, the definition of "human" changes....we'll experience that later...for now, we're here for the enjoyment, for the entertainment, for the same shit Michael was here for in the John Travolta movie by the same name.

My "ally" nailed it when she told me to have a good time and enjoy myself. That was echoed in a fantasy sci-fi book I just read about a swordsman, who was told by the gods, "Go and be a good swordsman, Shonsu! Be honorable and valorous. And enjoy yourself, for the World is yours to savor."

That's good stuff, Gonz.

Most fine Gonzo!

What if? We can understand that we are perfect, and in the perfect place, and frame of mind in every moment...the truth of the matter is this...we are.
