RELATIVE
TRUTH
The
spiritual realm
|
ABSOLUTE
TRUTH
The metaphysical realm |
Creation
Creation
of
a world within spirit or energy. |
No
creation
The objective world of forms is merely imagined (an appearance) in formless
(awareness). Hence no world is ever created (truly exists). |
Transformation
Modification
of
spirit or energy resulting in a world of constant change. |
No
transformation
Any perceived transformations are only be imagined since there is no
material (substance) in awareness for any transformation of anything
to ever take place. |
Space
A physical space
within
which a world can exist |
No space
Since there is no objective space within awareness, the notion of space
(spatial field) is imagined to enable the perception of an objective
world. |
Movement
Movement (motion)
within
a world existing in space. |
No
movement
There is never any movement since there is no space (spatial field)
within or greater than awareness (the sole existence) in which any
such movement could ever take place. Hence the absolute (awareness)
remains eternally still (non-moving) and all movements (including the
perceived movement of energy or spirit) can only be imagined (projected
within the screen of awareness). |
Time
The notion of time to enable a beginning, middle and end to stories (objective
lives), plus concepts such as evolution, the 4 yugs or kalpas
(ages),
astrology, etc |
No
time
There is no time since there is no space within awareness to enable
any measurement of movement necessary for time. Hence dream (imagined)
time is the child of dream movement in dream space. |
Freedom
Liberation
from bondage, suffering and rebirth. |
No
freedom
The notion of liberation is an illusion since there is never any bondage
or birth (hence no death) in awareness (Beingness, existence, consciousness).
Indivisible awareness alone exists never changes, never moves & never
becomes anything. Hence awareness being eternally free, all experiences
are imagined (dreams). |
Duality
Division
of good vs. bad, spiritual vs. material world, desirable vs. undesirable,
etc |
No
duality
No diversity since awareness alone exists without space or material
(substance) to enable any real creation or division (duality). Hence
duality is imagined for 'Beingness' to perceive 'becomingness' (diversity,
division, experiences). |
Purpose
The burden
of
accomplishing something, becoming something, making a difference, etc. |
No
purpose
Purpose is an illusion since there is no gain or loss whatsoever for awareness
through imagined experiences (dreams), and because it is the spontaneous
and non-intentional (hence purposeless) nature of awareness to dream within
itself. Freedom is realized by renouncing the burden of purpose within
that (awareness) which is completely unaffected by the unreal (dreams). |
Experiences
Lots of experiences such as meeting gurus, lights and visions
during meditation, angels, fairies, different dimensions, feeling the movement
of energy or light, spirit guides and often an emphasis on the experience
of bliss.
|
No
experiences
Since awareness (the subject) alone is real without any division, it can
never be experienced as any object by any subject (since theres no separation),
and hence can only be realized (become aware of itself). You (awareness)
can never experience what you already are (awareness), just as sugar cannot
taste sugar since it is sugar itself. It is the very seeking of experiences
that blocks realization (awareness) of absolute truth (awareness, existence,
Beingness). |
Destination
Belief that one can evolve over time to arrive at some level where existence
is much more pleasant or that one can be permanently free and rest
in the peace of consciousness. i.e. heaven, etc. |
No destination
There is no destination since awareness remains forever still and imagines
experiences within itself forever, for such is the nature of awareness
(to dream). There is nothing to grasp (attain) since awareness
(the Self) alone is real (exists), and because dreams (imagined
experiences) are unreal (do not exist). There is nothing to escape
since awareness and dreams within never end. Hence there is no
destination (final resting or end point) since the dance of 'Being'
(awareness) and 'becoming' (dreams) continues without beginning
or end (forever). |
Thus
freedom (which is one's true nature
and everpresent) is realized simply
by remaining aware of the Absolute (awareness, existence, Beingness)
while playing in the relative (objective
world imagined within awareness)
