The Perfect Existence Place

In the early formative years of my human existence, I was taught and trained to perceive and believe that the material or solid aspect of existence is the real world, and the Spirit Nature is the “other” world, the unreal world, the ideal or theoretical domain… some place or other I had to strive for. But it was never here and now. Whatever the religious or spiritual dogma offered, the first and foremost indoctrination impressed into my Consciousness was that I should remain firmly fixed in the solid world, the material world - to maintain what is essentially a materialistic Consciousness. The Spiritual was the unreal world, a mythical world, the antidote to relieve the burden of materialistic Consciousness.

Oh, how I loved the stories, the teachings, the myths and the idea of a better place. Well, maybe even the better person I could be if I just tried harder. But always, always not good enough.

And thank goodness we are given an endless array of soothing, sedative and mitigative teachings and practices, all botched together under the generic term ‘Spiritual’.
Well, if it’s Spiritual it has to be good for you, surely… well, as long as it’s not one of those other cultures’ religious or spiritual beliefs. Best to stick to what’s close to home.

As an aside, I have been told that when I speak or explain in such a way, I have my tongue in my cheek. Today, I am in a good and reckless mood.

Whether we are Conscious of it or not, we make the way of Life, the way of our Lives based in the firm assumption that the material world, the seemingly solid world is the real world. How many times have you heard the expression “get into the real world”? I have often heard individuals make the comment after a weekend of meditation, “it’s back to the real world now.”

You and I came from the Spirit Nature Realm to appear ever so briefly in whatever form clothes our Spirit. However, I know that I was instructed, in fact ordered (by fear) to identify with the physical world and to remain most fundamentally in the solid world, the world of skin and ideas and beliefs, of them and us, of win or lose.

And very soon, not that many years after physical birth, I was never left alone. By ‘alone’ I mean out of this constant materialistic indoctrination to begin to discover even slightly just how much I need to be involved in the materialistic world Consciousness in my own case. Before one is aware, one has become an active participant in the solid world, the ridgid ideas and beliefs world, and a seeker of the Spiritual Condition of the world, the Gorgeous Wonder-Filled, ever Inspiring Inner, Subtle World.

In other words, our actual Truth Condition, our Spirit Nature is put aside, denied and banished from our Present Conscious Awareness which is the Very Beloved Nature and Guide and Love of our existence.

The Spirit Reality of our human body, our entire existence, becomes a teaching we like to hear much like a story we enjoy hearing while we continue to submit our living, our Consciousness, to the “real” work: the work of getting conditions, the physical world ordered in such a way that we can be satisfied and finally rest. And all the time our Spirit Life, our Spirit Nature, is untenanted, as a result of conforming to standards that have already been set which we know nothing about.

As long as we perceive and make the conditional world, the physical world, into the real world and the actual Reality, we will always be seekers of the Spiritual rather than Realisers of the Spiritual. The Spiritual becomes our relief belief, our method of feeling good and acting Spiritually morally superior. We become seekers of the ideal relationship, the ideal community, the ideal teaching, the ideal life.

We do like to act as though we have cracked it, as if we have it all sorted and wereally know what we are doing. But really, do we? The main game is to show others you are a success in the world, that you know stuff, pretty much any kind of stuff will do, for the sake of getting attention. Never mind the hot air of calamity and inferiority, of hopelessness and the sense of failure that blows through the tender minds of young humans as a result of this fake game.

Are we ever really aware of the damage, the terror and cruelty we inflict upon others in the materialistic game of win or lose?

To consider, believe and live on the basis that the material world, the seemingly solid world is the real world and the true Reality is always to look outside of oneself for knowledge, self-worth, approval, success, love and life. In other words, one’s identity. And this breeds a pathological conformity, a conformity driven by a values system in which social validation occupies a pre-eminent position.

Oh Beloved, the Flame of the Being, of your Spirit Nature is there but it is increasingly overshadowed by a mood of submerged intangible anxiety, arising out of society’s commonly accepted demand that you conform to and make good in the materialistic reality, the so-called real world. I know this well. My Life, My Love is still driven by all that is denied, not in the conditional realm, the solid realm, but in the Great Realm that is Life, that is the Spirit.
Oh, My Love do not let anything or anyone stop you, prevent you from discovering what Sustains your Inherent Passion Devotion to the Wilderness of the Heart, the Spirit.

Know this Well. Everything You are, everything of Your becoming, all the Light of Your Love is already in You. It is not outside of You. It is all available to You in Your Spirit Nature. One must Truly and Practically Embrace It.
The True Living Human Being belongs to no time or place or other but is the always present Living Nature. Wherever She or He is, there is the Living Nature. And Nature belongs to no time or place or other.

Remember, Dearest Heart, for everything taken from the outside (the material world) something is lost on the inside. You acquire an identity from the outside and lose Your Very Self. You acquire knowledge from the outside and lose Your Instinct.

You are already in the Perfect Existence Place.

P.S. Oh, and with a smile, if You are going to keep the egoic self – the outer worldly identity - well, wear it like a loose fitting garment. Otherwise, wear Your Love outrageously, with style.
