Think with the slides, reflect, and feel

the phenomenon taking place within

yourself.

Lets begin with what we know....

1. my Sense Organs
2. my Memories
3. my Thoughts
4. my Actions
See, the blue arrows are the paths
showing directions in which signal
movement takes place.
My Memory

My memories consist of the sum total of the following:

1. Basic genetic memory essential for survival of the body.
2. Knowledge I obtained from society (including from my parents and the advice
of my friends.)
3. My own experiences.
4. My professional skills.
5. And so on...
We are continuously referencing old knowledge and creating new knowledge all
the time knowingly or unknowingly. Let us call it the Knowledge Database
henceforth for convenience.

OUTside space
There is definitely a perception of
Outside of me and Inside of me.
Even my heartbeat that I can listen
to tells me that that my heart is an
organ, something that is out of the
boundary of my mind.

My Knowledge

I/me/myself

INside space

If you are still with me, one may ask:

Isnt the boundary created by my senses ?
Then there has to be a working part of me which takes input from the senses and
differentiates between signals based on my knowledge. Within my skin is me and
Outside my skin is NOT me.
A camera that takes pictures, captures it as a complete flat image. Im talking about
the face detection software in me. The differentiator/comparer software.
This is a necessary part of my mind that is necessary for the survival of the body.
Otherwise, I may end up drinking molten iron. I dont know, it looks kind of palatable
to me *brighter orange juice probably*

So, lets rearrange the mind aspects like this:

HIYA !

Comparer
I?

OUT space

The Comparer is a functional part responsible for the feeling of I being distinct from
You and Other things.
On a small scale, its cool. It takes sensory input signals from the senses, refers the
database, differentiates and tags the photo accordingly so that we know what is what.
Simple.
By consciously tweaking it, it helps me feel like Im one with the car that I am driving. By
extending the boundaries of perception I am able to use tools as an extension of myself. I
think, this little bit of extra control over the comparer has made the human species a
dominating life form.
The scientific method may also be a manifestation of the
comparer: we break down, we dissect, differentiate and
record the smaller workings. Then we use the knowledge
obtained to our benefit by recombining, experimenting,
prototyping thus leading to Technology.
Therefore, the comparer is Pro-survival.

As much as it is responsible for your survival, it is also creating a divide between all of
us based on ideas and belief systems in which we have been brought up.
People with same ideas tend to form social groups. This is ok as long as you are happy
within the groups. On a large scale today, Political and Religious abstract boundaries
may be observed as an abomination of ancient, geographically successful, and efficient
HR management ideas.

War and the resulting chaos is

a
result
of
fanatically
perceiving one system as
better over the others. Always
comparing,
differentiating,
dividing...
The feeling of I also makes
me want more for myself. I
want things better in life than
the Others. I feel angry at
people whos ideas do not
resonate with mine or the
ideas of my social group.

What do I do about it then ?

The awareness of this comparer within myself becomes extremely important.
The awareness of the origin, the very origin of my thoughts should be questioned.
Because my thoughts were never really mine. Most of them were just unconscious
reactions to external stimuli referenced to a database. Defensive reactions.
I create the reality in which I live by differentiation.
Lets do something interesting.
Lets theoretically turn-OFF the Comparer...

Spooky and exciting things happen instantaneously:

All of SPACE which is a differentiation of occupied, unoccupied, directions, near, far...

Fills up and gets occupied by my consciousness.
The difference of what is against what was and what it should be ceases.
TIME stops for me. I see all of eternity at an instant.
The barrier of in and out disappears for me.
The entire Universe appears as a single unit.
I become the Universe and the Universe becomes me.
There is no longer I, there is no longer anything else. There is only the infinite, eternal,
Oneness.
What is left after this Ego death is pure unbiased awareness.

I dissolves into this awareness.

This beautiful state may be the Samadhi state mentioned in yogic lore.
The realization and culmination of the realized ones teachings. Trying different methods
to tell us that we are one with the everything else.
Various paths have been described all through history to experience oneness.
Theoretically, we see that the comparer is fuelled by the necessity to react by generating
thought and possible action as a consequence..
True Meditation practices aim to tire the mind/create a weariness through intense
concentration or through repetition of a sound, leading to no thought.
When there is no need for thought, the Comparer stops. The comparing, differentiating
and judging ceases.
Oneness is experienced. Yoga is achieved.
As a result of which true compassion is felt. This compassion is not ego fuelling, to feel
good about oneself. It is just pure unbiased goodness.
Ego death achieved by the use of psychedelics also cause a state of Psychedelic Satori. A
feeling of oneness. This while compromising ones health through addiction. You have
been warned.

Lets come out of the exciting spookiness.

Into the real world as one may say.

The only intention of this slideshow was to make you aware of the differentiating taking
place in you. We created the differences. My knowledge creates my reality.
Nature intended it for our survival. Without differentiating, there is no joy of meeting.
There can be no lovemaking if there is no differentiating as UG said.
But we must be responsible and aware of the extent to which we differentiate. We must
realize that Nature is not separate from you. It is you. If perceived properly, the sum total
of the energy cycles, life cycles, etc. is just one unit operating. Currently, I experience
myself as a little part of a very large mechanism. The struggle of life is when we try to
find our place. The comparer keeps telling us that we are someplace else. It is just doing
its job. We only need to be aware of it. We should realize that we are already there.
No matter how hard I try, I can never be free of Nature. Because I am It. I can only
consciously and blissfully dissolve in It.

One may go deeper as to ask thus:

What remains when I dissolves ?
I do not know. It is just a state of pure being.

A field, where everything possible just is ...

Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing,

there is a field.
Ill meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,

the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesnt make sense any more.

Thank you for your time
