Joy is ever-present, not eternal. Let’s step outside life and death. December 28, 2020 Maat get an understanding of the following story’s metaphors; mutual arising, relative, Stetson (fedora.sombrero), Overalls, Carnival (fair), Projectors, Ferris Wheel, Playground, Smaller-self, Illusory-like, Movie In this image, the character ‘X’Tzu’ from ‘11:11 El Luchador Gauntlet’ considers the new sunrise awaiting for those who transcend life and death. The ‘hat’ represents the mind, while the deer symbolizes an unencumbered being without the filter of attached thought. In the carnival of life and death, we dream of rebirth. Joy is ever-present, not eternal. Deep down you know Joy is your actual state of being. Eternity resides in time. Emptiness means nothing when you no longer embrace ‘things’. The merry-go-round represents the dizzy inward perception that pleads for you to not have that realization. In the carnival, all things that mutually arise can be found. The ferris wheel represents ‘time’, our creation and consent of such. Stepping off the merry-go-round’s inward focus of time makes false-duality translucent. Hope is illusory when it dreams of permanence. Transitory distinctions fly through the worlds of our carnival-like experience. You can go beyond death and attachment to life. Joy is found ‘outside’ the attachment to the dance of life and death. Only in the carnival can you claim to be a co-creator (or a creator for that matter). Many Christians use words that imply they don’t really want to be in their ‘heaven’, as they say they want ‘eternity’… and eternity is just time that never ends - a symptom of the small-self, a convenient distraction from having to face the present. Here in the playground we sing songs of permanence, but know the music is only for our ears. So right now, get yourself into a ‘timeless’ perspective. Without it, the allegory looses sense. Be present. If you’re willing to entertain the unlikely nature of time, then proceed. Difficult to swallow, yet the ‘you’ that’s been conjured is the small-self. While new age and older age religions dream that the small ‘we’ are spirits coming around to enjoy and experience ourselves, it’s untrue of the small-self. Only the Absolute-self, fused in dance reaches that destination. Twin Inferno flight bursts from the confines of ‘humanity’, dreaming of a time when there can be nothing but. Yet, Twin Inferno is where soul and spirit resonate in awareness and actualization. It’s the ‘state of be-ing’ where ‘flame of present’ brings life to soul, lubricating the ability to peacefully engage in multiple dimensions. Twin Inferno state is that of choice, the vantage of having one foot in the relative playground of duality, and the other in the Absolute. Only through this does one act in sovereignty. When Twin Inferno’s ignited, relative fuses to Absolute, and the dualistic playground becomes a landscape of choice and possibility. A walk from the carnival.
