Riffin' On the Dirt We're Made of (and to which we'll return! :D x_X)

“And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is immortal, imperishable and eternal and is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness.” 14.27 Bhagavad Gita The Three Modes of Material Nature

How elegant that the “basis” for the aloof and mechanical laws of nature, the “impersonal Brahman”, which really extends beyond forces of nature and implies inevitabilities stemming from one’s “nature”, as well, is something as personal as the “I am”? Those of us in the West may associate “I am” with the notion of Yahweh, from the classic Bible passage explaining the nature of human action “I am who am”, but this is a conception of God that reaches towards the comprehensive moreso than the idyllic; In this passage, “I am” implies the comprehensive life activities of any individual embodied being, in communion with Source at all moments (because that’s the nature of reality, whether we consciously view it as such or not).

What this essentially amounts to is that you are entirely responsible for the world you experience at some level. Your karma, your Being, your life activities (worldviews and activities and the such)…these magnetize/shape the phenomena you experience as time unfolds; they are the “basis of the impersonal Brahman”.

We are on the precipice of “manifesting”…the stuff that was covered in the documentary the Secret. The classic farce young and brainwashed people make after experiencing this stuff is that they fail to realize that all intents pass through a medium as they are beaming them out there, and that the immediate feedback should be listened to even if you continue to try to manifest on, as it is a crucial response back from a sentient universe. If you want to cheat the whole manifesting system, earnestly become a Boddhisatva and then use the Mahayana vehicle to Tokyo-drift yourself through the drive thru at Wendy’s.

The world itself…all settings in space-time, really, are being construed here as a form of “Brahman”. Spiritual devotees/seekers/enlightened types are also known as “Brahman”. This implies that the world itself is a rendering which, at some level, serves the purposes of imparting the curriculum/providing the opportunity of communion.

“The constitutional position of ultimate happiness”, fortunately, it is divulged, is the “I am”. In regards to loci of control, although it is probably impossible to do (and definitely unnecessary), this implies that we theoretically always have control over our state of Being as individuals. This is easy to overlook…this means that we are bigger than social institutions, we little worker ants, and we really should be upon closer inspection because we are actually…alive. We have destinies. Social factions are here to serve our lives, we’re not here to serve companies, etc. etc. One person can change the world.

So if the “I am”, your Karma, your life activities… are the “basis” of the external world you experience/”impersonal Brahman”… it’s pretty outright dope that he lets us know that this “I am” is “immortal”, “imperishable”, and “eternal”. This means that this life is but an experience your everlasting consciousness is experiencing. This is the Hindi doctrine regarding the afterlife, told plainly.

So, proof of life is existence of said life…and existence of said life in the material world is reasonably proof of existence that that life exists eternally/is communed with the Source in a tender way at all moments and is therefor precious if you happen to believe. Heaven becomes about the right now when it is an assurance, especially if it is the point of “ultimate happiness”. This is how you trick all of the little rats into holy and righteous behavior throughout the wee hours of the day…a digestible and accurate worldview jammed up with proper and reliable incentives for pursuing holy and righteous behaviors. It’s devious.

Everything I just spent like 40 minutes rambling about is not only stuff I've said way too many times over and over again throughout the blog, it's also contained somewhere in the simple lyrics...

"There's a starmannnn waiting in the sky. He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'll blow our mind. There's a starmannn waiting in the sky...He told us not to blow it 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile. He told me... "let the children lose it"; "let the children use it"; ..."let the children boogie."- David Bowie
