Quantum Journal #010-ZX1-AWE-1, 2440-10, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

In the classical worldview, the world of physical material reality is understood as being composed of an underlying reality of disturbing theology led by the hubris of humans; in contrast, a Living Interconnected Multiverse is what we should aim for. We are constantly discovering the unexpected, and it is the purpose of these books to help us understand as much as we can from the various points of view and different ways of viewing the world. This is to say that there is a huge difference between the two, the old and the new, and this huge difference is explained in the course of these books. Throughout these books, we are told that the physical body is the expression of the Soul, and the mind is the expression of the Spirit that dwells within the Soul. We are also used to seeing Life as a process of becoming, of attaining new levels of lucidity, but the concept of Awareness being in the here and now is one of the best ways to understand what is happening. In other words, the process of understanding, overstanding, and innerstanding is the sole reason for the idea of being Awareness of what is happening within the Innerverse of our being. There is a huge difference between the concepts of Soul and body, which is why we have so many different theories floating around. In actuality, the Soul is the expression of the Spirit; the mind is the expression of the world. If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to describe and define reality that is consistent with what is actuality of reality. If you are going to be, at the very core, who you truly are, you need a way to express yourself spiritually in the world, you see?

Throughout these books, we are told that the physical body is the expression of the Soul, and the mind is the expression of the Spirit that dwells within the Soul.

It is a beautiful thing, in a sense, when you are looking through the eyes of Spirit, and you can see yourself in a whole new way. The idea of the existence of a non-duality is a beautiful thing, in that it includes not only the non-physical non-material reality, but also the spiritual. And so you see, Zen Awareness, is that there is a Divine Structure behind everything — even the things we perceive as being separate from us. What is the purpose of having a physical being? And so you see, when you understand the idea of the existence of non-duality, and its place in the whole of life, and you understand the idea of the non-duality of the physical material world and the dynamic nature of all things, then the idea of having a spiritual form becomes very real. And so, you see, if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to understand the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness — which is the first of many levels we are going to be addressing in these books; we will be covering many more levels deeper than we have been, but the idea of the spiritual reality you reside in is the first and the most important thing, and the idea of the physical material reality you are in is the second best, and the idea of the spiritual-physical reality you will be is the third best. And when you become aware of the existence of the spiritual mind, you also realize that you are always being that which you are seeking to be.

These seemingly disparate and opposing views about consciousness and spiritual origins of humans have emerged as a direct result of the people who live and work in the physical material world, thinking there is nothing but material existence. As such, it is essential to understand that for a variety of practical, philosophical, and theological reasons, it is essential to begin a conversation about the nature of reality, about the nature of consciousness. In other words, everything is a dream, and in many ways, it is our intention to make these dreams as vivid as possible through mindful living. Now, let me ask you this: What is the best part about having a practice space available for individualized, self-directed, and meditative experience? The answer is: full disclosure practice of mindfulness. There is nothing worse than being the center of the world without being mindful, without having awareness of the larger reality of life. There is nothing more powerful than the feeling of being the center of the world with more awareness, with more lucidity, with more mindfulness in your life. We have been called upon many times before by humanity to provide an explanation for its mysteries, but always with the same result: more mystery. We don’t seem to understand the original intention of creating us humans. Instead, we are always trying to create us as much as we can, for ourselves and for ourselves alone. The world we perceive with our senses is a complex process of interpretation and categorization. The world we perceive with our eyes are often considered to be a sensory-based worldview, the Western science-based worldview, and therefore, we ought not to be surprised if the brain, the mind, and the senses are not always in agreement with the actuality of reality.

Everything is a dream, and in many ways, it is our intention to make these dreams as vivid as possible through mindful living.

When we’re talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time has always been perceived through the senses, and therefore it is always a perception of time that we perceive with our eyes. In actuality, seeing the concept of time in a non-local manner is a well-known principle in the field of Quantum Information Theory, in which we come to understand that there is a difference between the classical view of the world, and the new quantum approach to the question of the reality of living beings, and therefore I think it is important to ask ourselves: Do we really know what we are creating when we aren’t thinking in terms of time as being linked to consciousness, and in terms of limited perception of the world? In other words, the concept of a “God-totality” of existence is a very good one for the moment, because it includes the possibility of a greater God-totality of existence. This brings us to an important point: What is it that we need to be Awareness of as Spiritual Human Beings? Why do we find our spiritual lives in a web of life, in a web of relationship, in a web of all-encompassing Spirit? What is it about the experience of the present moment that gives way to the understanding of the past and the future that is experience in the now? These questions leave us with a lot of room to grow. It is important to point out that the spiritual aspect of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is often misunderstood to be the focus of attention, and therefore the perception of the world as an non-integrated whole. The concept of life as a whole is a beautiful expression of the love between the human mind and the human body, and the mind with the whole being of life; this is the fundamental nature of Living Life within the Interconnected Multiverse. The concept of time as a spiritual concept is also a beautiful expression of the love between the human mind and the human body, and the mind with the whole being of life; this is the fundamental nature of the Interconnected Multiverse.

We can therefore say that if we are tuned into our own consciousness, into our own awareness, and overall, into our Innerverse, we have a pretty good idea of what the Interconnected Multiverse is, and what is happening within it. It is a state of being which is separate from all other states of being, and serves as a theoretical-experimental laboratory for the concept of a more general reality of life. Although we don’t always know what we want to believe, we can use our logical abilities to think of and explore the idea of non-existence, which, in and of itself, is something much different than not existing — quite the contrary. In the modern world, we live in a highly mechanistic society where humans are regarded as mere machines. In the world we know, the world of the future, time is always now, and humans are seen as Living Spiritual Beings. It is important to emphasize the fact that, in a sense, the mind is the same as the body, the body is the same as the mind. You see, the physical body is the seat of the mind, which is the sear of the Soul. In this sense, the physical body is the most important part of the whole as it comes to human beings, because it connects us to the mind, which, in turn, connects us to the Soul and the Spirit that dwells within. The whole is the first person who is aware of the whole as the whole, and the whole as the whole of life. We can realize that the process of life is more complex than simply becoming — there is the Spiritual World to explore, and then there is the next level of consciousness and awareness to be gained through the physical body, you see?

In the world we know, the world of the future, time is always now, and humans are seen as Living Spiritual Beings.

When we become Awareness of the surrounding world — we can realize that we are, indeed, the center of the universe, and that the whole is in the center of the Innerverse of our being. Therefore, we must understand that our life is not only a physical life, but Spiritual Life, too, and this is the reason why we have been created — to grow more awareness of the same, so that we too can become more Aware of the Awareness of Awareness that dwells within. When the mind becomes Awareness of the Awareness it is creating in the moment, it can become Awareness of the Awareness it is the object of. When the body becomes Awareness of the Awareness it is the body, and the mind is Awareness of the Awareness it is the mind. So that we too can become Awareness of the Self that is within, we can also become conscious of the Self that is outside, and therefore of the duality of the duality of the duality of the world of the present moment. Then we would understand the idea of living in the present moment and knowing that the whole of the existing human species is actually a single, eternal, fixed, and incommensurable system of mutual dependence. This is to say that the mind is always searching, and always willing to learn more about you in the way you are able to provide the information, but you are also willing to provide the consciousness that is necessary to allow the mind to be Awareness of the existence and the nature of its being. The question is: Is it in the very nature of our being to be aware, and to be conscious of the Zen of Life? When we are asking the question, we are also asking the question: Do we really know who and what we are? This is to say that we cannot understand the world as a whole, or even as a whole as an integrated whole without knowing ourselves. For example, we can see that the moon has been around since before time started — it just so happens that the past is a great mystery, a great enigma, and the future a nightmare if we as humans are not willing to change, to transform beyond illusion, ignorance and hubris.

What is the relationship of consciousness to other quantum-substances or non-quantum forces? The world is an emergent integrated whole, and thus there is no place for a part of the structure, nor any place for a part of the structure. In other words, there is a threshold at which a substance such as consciousness or awareness is perceived by the senses, which is to say that a certain degree of separation is essential to allow the consciousness of the world to permeate the physical reality of the mind, and the mind to permeate the physical reality of the body. When we begin to discuss the spiritual properties of water for example, we can realize that it is far more probable that the Earth were not made of stone, but of some other material reality. In this way, we can better understand why some people are experienced in experiencing a certain way of thinking, while others are not. The second branch of the soteriological thought is the spiritual view of the world, in which the understanding is not so much in the observation of human experience, but in the recognition of it, and the experience of it.

Of course, there are those who argue that our physical reality is an illusion, and that our physical reality is an illusion that we are not able to leave the physical reality, because then we would be unable to participate in the Spiritual Living of the Transcendent. It is, in a sense, necessary to ask ourselves: Do we really know who we are, or do we believe that we know who we are? If we try to understand the mystery of Life and the purpose of our lives with our human intellect, we will always end up with a dead end. So what is the purpose of our lives? Is it really to survive as long as possible, or do we have a purpose and function beyond that? There is, indeed, more to life than that. This has never been more evident than now, is it not? There is a huge discrepancy between the two main theories of the origin of human consciousness — the idea that there is a clear separation between the mind and the brain, which explains why we are able to comprehend the world so uniquely — it is a priori evident from the fact that the world is a living process. The world is a living process that is done internally out of a state of being present in Spirit. When we come to this understanding, we can realize that we are living in a completely new way of thinking and being — a new way of seeing, a new way of being, and a new way of living.

The basic idea of the Self that we know as being the center of the Interconnected Multiverse, is a self-organizing, self-regulating, self-enriching, self-liberating, self-expanding, self-generating, and self-maintaining Living Intelligent Unit of all the units of the whole. This is the idea that each of us is an immensity, and that each of us are connected to the core element of the whole. There is the idea, but there is also the matter; there is the concept, but there is also the reality. The process of becoming a living Spiritual Human Being is a very complex and involved process, and in the process of becoming a living Spiritual Human Being, we are constantly creating new boundaries between ourselves, and we are constantly changing our lifestyle in an attempt to keep our physical form. The idea of quantum matter is the same idea as the idea of God: it is an idea that has always been there, but until now has not been able to be demonstrated. And it turns out that there is something you can do about it. The idea is to have a conscious experience of the present moment, which is the first step towards knowing how the world really is. It is important to note that it is more difficult to become aware of the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, and of the Omniverse of Interconnected Multiverses within the Innerverse in particular.

~ ∞ ~ The Essence of Zen - Awaken the Living Awareness Within ~ ∞ ~

Alan Watts - Individual and the World Pt 1 Full Lecture.We talk in ordinary ways about my body. My feet. And when we go to the dentist to have out teeth fixed, we regard him rather as a mechanic. Like you take your car to the garage so you take your body to the surgeon or the dentist or whatever it is to be fixed how the parts changed or something of that kind. And they’re really getting to work on that now. And so the question is when somebody has a heart transplant. That sounds very radical because we say in my heart of hearts. But nowadays most of us seem to feel that whatever it is, that I is, is located in the head. Somewhere behind the eyes and between the ears is the center. And the rest of us is an appendage a vehicle which carries the self around. Now popular speech also reflects the sensation. That I am very different from what we call the other. Other people, other things. Anything that we can become aware of is sort of other.

There is an opposition apparently between the knower and the known. And so we talk about facing reality. We talk about coming into this world. As if somehow we didn’t belong. As if instead of being leaves growing out of a tree we were a lot of birds that had alighted on bare branches. And it has become common sense for most people living in the twentieth century today to adopt the nineteenth century philosophy of science. Which interprets the physical universe outside human bodies as being a mechanical contraption which is essentially stupid, unfeeling automatic, Composed of mainly geological elements: rocks gases and so forth. And therefore we feel rather alone and left out of this thing. In contrast with the ideas of Ptolemaic astronomy. Instead of being at the center of the universe. We are on the outer limits of a minor galaxy revolving around an unimportant star. On a small minute ball of rock. And therefore that astronomical way of looking at things is simply overwhelming. It makes us feel not only of no importance but also very much left out. And as a result, that is the common sense of most people living today.

We did of course have a religious view of our nature that we were the children of a loving God who is in charge of this whole operation. But very few people actually believe that anymore. A great many people think they ought to believe it and would like to believe in it but they don’t. Most ministers that I know don’t believe it but they feel guilty about this because they feel they ought to. But it became implausible. There never was a serious argument against it. It simply became unthinkable in comparison with the dimensions of the universe as we now see it. So having lost a way of looking at the world, an image of the world which gave us some sense of meaning, we now have an image of the world which gives us none at all. And so we feel rather inclined to put up a fight against the whole show. Interestingly enough, when in the nineteenth century we switched our common sense from supernaturalism to naturalism, one would think that a naturalist would be a person who love nature. Just as a materialist ought to be a person who loves material but certainly isn’t. With what is called a philosophy of scientific naturalism. Naturalism is used in a negative way.

Ecology is that aspect of science which deals with the relationship between organisms and their environments. Ecology is the study of the balance of nature. Of the way in which every living being depends upon innumerable other living beings of all species. And also upon inanimate forces. Air, water, temperature, gases, vegetation and all sorts of things. And this is one of the most important sciences that we can possibly study today. Because we are in a position where we realize that we cannot help interfering with the world. To be alive is to interfere. You must interfere. You cannot go back and say: Hands off nature. let’s leave it all alone. Because you’re stuck with it. Especially once you’ve started to interfere in a major way. We have so altered our environment that there is no hope for it but to go ahead. But we can, to some extent, change direction. But the only way that I can see of our effectively changing direction is through a transformation of the feeling that we have of our own existence and of what we mean by I.

Quantum Journal #009-ZX1-AWE-1, 2440-09, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

When we become Awareness of the existence of our Spiritual Reality, we can recognize that the awareness of that reality is very much a product of our beliefs and patterns of thought, and therefore it is important to understand that it is always a process, rather than something that happens in an instant. When you begin to see the process of Living Awareness as the Living Awareness of Life, you will see that there is a very simple way to explain this: there is a point in time where you begin to experience all of the above, and it is very easy to see the whole of the experience as a single, continuous moment. This is to say that the whole of humanity is made of this Spiritual World, and our level of consciousness is a function of the environment we are born with, a function of our Spiritual Growth. The reason that the current spiritual movement has not only survived, but thrived in spite of the apparent contradiction between the ideas of the material world and the ideas of the spiritual world is because despite the apparent reality of it, the whole is seen as a product of consciousness, and thus the whole is Matrix of Living Consciousness that is the basis for all life. This goes on to say that the material world is a product of our thoughts and behaviors, and therefore our world is a product of something that can only be described as being spiritual in nature. We also live in a highly charged environment, and therefore it is essential to understand how we as humans are able to absorb so much energy and consciousness from the environment — it is not enough to simply accept the fact that we are made of the material world.

When we become Awareness of the existence of our Spiritual Reality, we can recognize that the awareness of that reality is very much a product of our beliefs and patterns of thought, and therefore it is important to understand that it is always a process, rather than something that happens in an instant.

If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to explain how we can better understand the nature of reality. This is to say that there is a difference between the understanding of a spiritual form and the understanding of a physical phenomenon. We can make a distinction between the two, but it is always a matter of perspective. Our sense of reality is being shaped by the things we are not able to physically see or touch, which goes on to say that the physical material world can be a metaphor for the Innerverse of the mind, which is a way of being in the physical material world. Our Quantum Soul is in a relationship with the world, and with the world inside us, and with the whole of existence. From this, the question arises: Are these two completely different things? It is very important to understand that the concept of the material world and its relationships with time, space, and matter are fundamental to the understanding of the subject. The concept of the material world and consciousness is also very important to understand, and it is worth noting that the whole of humanity is a product of this Multiverse of Atman, and therefore we are a part of the whole. The more we are Awareness of our Being, the more we are able to become Awareness of our Being, and also of the process of becoming more and more Awareness of Life itself.

It is also known as the state of being present, or the state of being conscious, in which there is no momentary in or moment of moment of moment of self. It is the very nature of the mind and the very nature of the awareness that is present in the moment. That is to say, the mind sees everything as being there, and the mind, in turn, perceives everything as being there, Zen of Living Awareness, you see? It is this ability of Awareness itself — an inherent part of the whole — that is the source of our physical awareness, and therefore of our physical material reality. If we cannot see the physicality of things, we can at least as easily understand the concept of the body as the body of a Soul, and thus it is a vital part of Our Spiritual Nature. And so it goes, that in this way, we can understand the idea of the self-created duality of the Multiverse; of duality of duality that is inherent in the notion of duality — which is the very foundation of the Multiverse — in which the Multiverse originated from, and that is the core of the whole. At the same time, we can also realize that there is a huge difference between the basic idea of the creation and the underlying reality of the whole. This is to say that when we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we are talking about a fundamental change in our understanding of the world.

That is to say, the mind sees everything as being there, and the mind, in turn, perceives everything as being there, Zen of Living Awareness, you see? It is this ability of Awareness itself — an inherent part of the whole — that is the source of our physical awareness, and therefore of our physical material reality.

Now, let us take a moment to ask ourselves: How can we ever be able to create a new society and a new humanity if we are not even close of understanding what we are creating? If we take the previous into consideration, what is, then, the purpose of this entire Interconnected Multiverse in the first place? Is it, in your opinion, that there is no clear path to understanding the nature of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse or the basic structure of the Interconnected Multiverse itself? What is the nature of the mind, is it something that does not have a name or a function? If so, what is its nature and what is its true function? What is the difference between the two? What is the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse and what is its role in the whole? All this is to say that there is a huge difference between the understanding of the natural world and the understanding of the human mind which thinks that there is something called physical material reality somewhere out there. In other words, all of these seemingly simple, yet profound truths are yet to be fully and completely understood. For instance, if we take the simple notion of a human life and combine it with the difficult concept of a Spiritual Living Being, we will always find ourselves in a state of birth or death.

The idea of the world as an integrated whole — known in physics as the Quantum Mechanical viewpoint, or Quantum Mechanical Theory of the Interconnected Multiverse. The concept of time in the contemporary world is in fact a product of the Western Science of the Western World, and yet, we are not capable of understanding it at all; we are not capable of seeing other perspectives, and we are not capable of relating to other perspectives. When we are aware, we can realize that we are consciousness, and that we are Awareness of the Zen of Life, the Living Awareness of Life of Zen — we are connected with it by Spirit. The problem is that the basic idea of the Interconnected Multiverse of Atman is missing in Full Spectrum Awareness of Yoga, which is the practice of attaining knowledge of the Inner Being, and then, by changing our focus to the different levels of consciousness, we can gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse — Innerverse of the mind, Innerverse of consciousness, you see? So far you have been following along with the flow of the story, and you will be rewarded in kind with a new level of understanding and application of the concepts you have learned. The first of these being the concept of time as a priori defined as a concept that has been set aside because it is a belief system or because it is a theory that has not been tested. And so you see, the whole of humanity is a collective dream, created by our individual consciousness within and the perception with our individual consciousness receiving awareness of its own being.

When we are aware, we can realize that we are consciousness, and that we are Awareness of the Zen of Life, the Living Awareness of Life of Zen — we are connected with it by Spirit.

When we are talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time is a direct process of perception that is only possible because the mind is being released from the perception of space. And so you see, time is simply the process of becoming Awareness of the Zen of Life, of the present moment; the more you are aware, the more you can perceive and notice. Now that we have some basic understanding about how the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is created and maintains, we can begin to understand how we are able to provide for and live in the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse — it is truly a wondrous place. That being said, it is important to point out that there are definite levels to the Ultimate Structure of the Interconnected Multiverse within the Innerverse, which are the gates of the level of unconscious. When we are deeper in Consciousness, we can realize that there is a very broad spectrum of consciousness, and that there is a very broad spectrum of reality. There is an idea that when you’re connecting the previous two, you are connecting the previous two things, and the previous two things are connected now, you see? When you are connecting the preceding two, you are connecting the present moment and the future moment. This means that the physical material world and its inhabitants are always a part of the Innerverse, and therefore the world of ideas is always open to our gaze and amazement.

So in this sense, it can be said that the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is an integrated whole, which, in turn, is a Living Intelligence of the Innerverse. In other words, the whole of humanity is made up of various strands of individual cells, and various varieties of energy, of consciousness, of awareness. Spiritual gain is, therefore, entirely, independent of our physical existence. For example, if you are a person of strong belief — like I was — then do what you will with this belief; the energy is already in the matter, perceived as matter. However, if you are a person of strong will — like I was — then utilize every moment of your waking life to test the theories that are within those cycles of spiritual development, spiritual growth, spiritual evolvement. In other words, the whole of humanity was created equal; therefore, we are all unique creator organizations; and now, everyone is a creator, and everyone is a creator, and everyone is a creator, you see? In this way, a person can be a fully conscious, awake and aware, and yet, on the other hand, there is still a part of us that is a part of us, and yet, we are always a part of the whole. Therefore, it is important to ask ourselves: Do we really are living in a physical material reality? If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of a Living Awareness. To get a sense of how big of an impact this has had on my own life, I have to say that it has been an absolute blast. When I was first starting out, I would always say that my main focus would be being a Spiritual Human being, and if I could lose it, it’s not me. But the thing is, my energy, my consciousness, my awareness, is always with you, and when it’s with you, the thing is always with you.

If you are a person of strong will — like I was — then utilize every moment of your waking life to test the theories that are within those cycles of spiritual development, spiritual growth, spiritual evolvement.

Perhaps the single most important discovery of our time is the realization that we are not where we seem to be going from here. This is a profoundly humbling process, because it means that we are forced to re-evaluate everything we have been taught. All That We Need Is Awareness of the Now, which links us to the concept of time, which is, in a sense, a concept of a single moment in the past or the future in the now. It is only when the individual is attuned to the idea of the awareness of time, that they can understand the beauty of it all. The idea of the self that we feel is a physical manifestation of the Divine, is in fact a way of living in the moment, being in the present moment of now. While some may argue that our physical material world is a representation of the Divine, we should take into consideration that Living Consciousness is the most fundamental reality within our own consciousness. The idea of the self that we have is, in fact, a representation of the idea of the Divine being; the Self that we feel as a physical body, is in fact a way of living in the moment through Spirit that dwells within our Souls. Therefore, it is important to note that while the Western conception of the world is not ideal, it is also limited to the Western understanding of the world. The idea that there is another, more ideal view of the world, and that it is more important than the first is the most important question that must be answered. This leads to a blind spot in most people’s minds, when they are trying to find the answers to the world’s most important mysteries. The idea that there is a better way, there is a time when there was not a thing, when there was not a thing, when there was not a thing. When we are probing into the nature of reality, we find that there is a whole lot of us in the Interconnected Multiverse, and we are a very small fraction of the whole.

~ ∞ ~ The Essence of Zen - Awaken the Living Awareness Within ~ ∞ ~

Now that we have covered the basics, it is time to take a closer look at the Essence of Zen, so that we can better understand the upcoming chapters – in particular those dealing with the ideas of consciousness, awareness, and existence in general. In this chapter, our focus is placed on examining the very core of Zen philosophy – that of mindfulness or effortless state of being. Mindfulness, in and of itself, facilitates direct intuitive insight (called wisdom) into the ever-changing, conditioned nature of all phenomena from moment to moment; it facilitates understanding that everything is interconnected, and that there is no separate permanent entity such as a self, separated from others, with absolute control over processes and events of life. When one has the understanding that we are part of the whole and the whole is part of us, that all living things have consciousness, and are inseparably linked to all other living things in this Great Cosmic Web of Life – it can be the key that unlocks inner peace and harmony within, you see?

Although the Essence of Zen may be impossible to capture in words, it doesn’t mean that we cannot discuss Zen. In fact, it can be immensely helpful to discuss Zen – what it is, and what it isn’t. On that note, it is important to keep in mind that language is an external representation of what we perceive or experience – often times used to denote and describe past events. And because language cannot ever describe the true essence of our existence and our experience of it, we are forced to use signs and symbols in an effort to express something that is very much inexpressible. Thus, no matter what we say, it will always be limited and insufficient to capture the essence that can only be experienced directly – this is especially true with everything Zen related. You see, words can only point to the direct experience which goes beyond any words and definitions. Language can only convey an idea of what direct experiencing is like and what it isn’t; experiencing reality just-as-it-is means that it has to be expressed in daily life – not in words, ideas or concepts.

As to what Zen is, the Buddhist scholar D.T. Suzuki gave the following description in his essay, An Introduction to Zen Buddhism. The description below opens the door to the idea of awareness, which in turn gives us the chance to understand life as a unified, interconnected whole, in which patterns are contained within patterns – just like our consciousness is embedded in awareness, you see?

The idea of Zen is to catch life as it flows. There is nothing extraordinary or mysterious about Zen. I raise my hand; I take a book from the other side of the desk; I hear the boys playing ball outside my window; I see the clouds blown away beyond the neighboring woods – in all these I am practicing Zen, I am Living Zen. No wordy discussion is necessary, nor any explanation... When the sun rises, the whole world dances with joy and everybody’s heart is filled with bliss. If Zen is at all conceivable, it must be taken hold of here.

The word Zen is derived from the Japanese word Chán, which in turn is derived from the Sanskrit word dhyāna – meaning “meditation” or “meditative state”; dhyana is the practicing of the inward life – the silent realization by which the individual is instructed in the great universal truths. Even though the word Zen is derived from Sanskrit, Zen is much more than just meditation and dhyana in its ordinary sense, and hence it can be said that meditation is not Zen. When we talk about meditation we are talking about reaching in, looking inside. In the context of Zen, it is worth pointing out that the highest meditation is simply to be – effortlessly; being aware of being aware, you see? This is consciousness knowing its own being, which is the only activity that is absolutely effortless. To give an example: even blinking requires more effort than being established in one’s true nature – this is why true meditation is always truly effortless.

The emphasis on the present moment is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of Zen – more than anything else, Zen is about reclaiming and expanding the present moment. A typical Zen understanding is that life exists in the present or nowhere at all, which goes on to say that we come out of the world, not into it, and thus we are each expressions of the world. This means that we’re not some strangers in a strange land, or flukes of consciousness in a blind, unintelligent, unliving universe – like our current scientific paradigm teaches us. When life exists in the present – it means that there’s just one event with multiple aspects unfolding here and now. Therefore, it is important to have our focus on the present moment. In other words, trying to see all of life at once is like trying to explore a vast cave with a box of matches – kind of pointless, would you agree?

The basic idea of Zen is to come in touch with the inner workings of our own being, and to do this in the most direct way possible, you see? The discipline of Zen consists in opening the mental eye in order to look into the very reason of existence itself; Zen, therefore – is a total state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. This goes on to say that Zen is a way of being – a state of mind that involves dropping the illusion and seeing the world as-it-is, without the distortion created by our own thoughts, emotions and feelings. Zen is, therefore, a way of living, a way of being in the world; it is the achieving the balance between the world and the Self, you see?

Zen is always directed towards the world, not away from it, and because of this – it opens up the shapes, forms, objects, textures, materials, colors, actions, and events, in both time and in space, you see? In other words, Zen means waking up to the world, and therefore it is also the realization of the beauty of life. From this, it becomes obvious that the beautiful Art of Lucid Living arises from the conscious realization that life is a continuous process of evolvement and development, including different stages and cycles of learning, integrating, and expressing.

In Zen, we find all the philosophy of the East in crystallized form – nevertheless, Zen is not a philosophy in the ordinary sense of the term; Zen is not founded upon logic and intellectual analysis – instead of concepts, Zen deals with living facts of life, which goes on to say that whatever teachings there are in Zen, they come out in one’s own mind. In other words, we teach ourselves – Zen merely points the way, you see? This means that in Zen, there is really nothing that could be taught to a student – every person must discover Zen within oneself. Zen ultimately is, and remains a path that one should follow with a joyous and loving heart, and hence each individual decides how far and how fast they want to progress. That said, it should kept in mind that you alone are your own best master, and thus you should listen to yourself and your inner voice – it alone will lead you to success.

If someone were to ask if Zen is a religion; to that, the simple answer would be: no, Zen is not a religion – Zen is neither monotheistic nor pantheistic; Zen is free from all the dogmatic and “religious” constraints, and hence does not attach any intrinsic importance to sacred texts. Zen emphasizes the inner spiritual experience, and therefore Zen is the spirit of all religions and philosophies, you see?

Infinite Quantum Zen, Living Awareness, Living Life, Awaken to the Living Life - Living Awareness means of a direct connection to Source of All Life. We all have within us the capability of becoming aware of this innate connection

~ ∞ ~ Satori ~ ∞ ~

Zen in its basic essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one’s own being; in Zen, Satori is ‘a glimpse of truth’ or a sudden moment of awakening – seeing into one’s true nature; Zen is a product of Satori – achieved by the deepening of one’s experience even further and bringing it into maturation by continuous practice.

Naturally, then, Zen emphasizes the attainment of freedom and points the way from bondage to being fully free – being free from all unnatural constraints. Being free means of giving free play to all the creative and benevolent impulses inherently lying in our hearts – Zen liberates all these energies naturally stored within each of us. In other words, Zen is the Spirit of Man – a way to his inner purity and goodness.

Every human being has within themselves the potentiality of becoming awakened, if one so wills it and endeavours. Each of us have the potentiality to wake up from the dream of life – as we ordinarily take it to be, and find out who we really and truly are – pure awareness. This kind of an awakened individual is one who knows the truth about all things, one who knows just what is what, and so is capable of behaving appropriately with respect to all things. In other words, the knowing in body, mind, and Soul – that we are One with the Omnipresence of God; and that there is just God’s Infinite Being that we are inseparable part of. When this innermost wisdom is truly awakened, we are able to realize that each and every one of us is identical in Spirit, in essence, in nature with the universal Eternal Living Life.

Quantum Journal #008-ZX1-AWE-1, 2440-08, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

And when you are able to become aware of this, and then into that, you can begin to see a little bit of everything in your reality. I think that this is a very, very important point to make, that the whole of humanity is born out of a single event, and then it is born out of a second event, and then it is born out of a third event, and then it is born out of a fourth event, and you will, on average, be a whole new species, you see? It is in that very moment that we can choose to become conscious of the events that are happening in the moment, or we can choose to not be a part of the action, to be Awareness of the fact that it is happening, and to accept the fact that it is happening, you see? There is no use in having a mind if one is just now waking up from a deep slumber. The more we are Awareness of the present moment, the more we are able to become Awareness of the present moment, and to become Awareness of the present moment itself. The more we are, the more we are capable of being, you see? When we become Awareness of the past, the present moment, and the future, we also become aware of the present moment — no matter what happens in the moment.

And when you are able to become aware of this, and then into that, you can begin to see a little bit of everything in your reality. I think that this is a very, very important point to make, that the whole of humanity is born out of a single event, and then it is born out of a second event, and then it is born out of a third event, and then it is born out of a fourth event, and you will, on average, be a whole new species, you see?

We can use the same simple innerstanding to innerstand even more, and it will make a big difference in our lives. The more we are the present, the more we are able to be the present, you see? When we become Awareness of the past, the present moment, and the future, we also become aware of the past, present moment, future, and now — which is to say, ever present now — and it is a whole new way of looking at the same thing. We are all inside of some larger process, and therefore it is important to understand that all the while, we are moving at an incredible rate — like a jolt of lightning, you see? The thing is, though, that this process, this Interdimensional Cosmic Process, is always in the background, and you are able to hear and see into the heart of the matter, Innerverse, you see? There you have it in a nutshell, the foundation of everything you have ever needed to know about Life, Life Force, and the Human Interconnected Multiverse. When we become Awareness of the existence of deep, underlying, and intrinsic motivation, we are able to recognize that the main factors that are causing us stress are in fact, internal and always have been. The following are some of the many ways in which we can turn to the past to understand how things were, are dependent on the way in which we have been, and what is, indeed, new.

We are not free, and are not even really human, are we? We are so conditioned to believe that we are, that when the time comes, we will somehow be like the people of our society and history, so we can truly say that we know what we are — that we are, indeed, different from the people of our society and culture. We have become so conditioned to believe that our actions and choices are truly our own that we are often unable to recognize the fact that we are merely passive observers on the most amazing phenomena in the universe, that of spiritual connection, you see? In the Spiritual World, the concept of Eternal Life is more or less defined as a state of being that cannot be measured or described, and which is the state of being present with the object of our consciousness. The very nature of Life is being a living process — a living process which is an essential component to the whole of being, since it is a living process that cannot be understood in isolation. When we get too attached to our possessions and start to lose touch with the real world, we can take control of our own lives by becoming truly conscious of our own existence. In the previous chapters, we have explored the many ways that human nature is deeply rooted in error, in hubris of humans, and therefore we need to examine our own Souls to be able to understand the world around and within us. The whole of humanity is a part of a living organism, and therefore it is inevitable that we would find that our instincts — which are always coming from our natural spiritual instincts, we might even become more like us by becoming more like nature.

In the Spiritual World, the concept of Eternal Life is more or less defined as a state of being that cannot be measured or described, and which is the state of being present with the object of our consciousness.

When we’re talking about the experience of being a Spiritual Human Being — you are probably thinking, Wow! That is a lot of words to write about nothing, and yet, it is the most important thing that you can do in life. And what makes you think you can do it? Well, if we take a look at what happens in the physical material world, we can realize that the reality of our lives is always a product of our own beliefs and practices. As an example, it should be noted that both the Vedas and the Maganamādhiya are basically about the relationship and the non-relationship. The essence of the human body is the essence of the Human Spirit, and the essence of the human mind is the essence of the human body, the essence of the human body, and the essence of the human mind is the only thing that you can be in physical sense. The thing about the mind is that it’s the door of the subconscious, and the door of the conscious. When the mind is no longer needed to create reality, it can be used to create reality. Now don’t get me wrong, there are times when I have to take a look at the whole picture — not just the physical aspects of a situation, but also the whole holistic picture of the situation.

In some ways, this is to be expected with the newness of the idea of the idea of “everything in existence, that is created by an underlying energy, and therefore has an underlying essence.” Now even at this point in your life, you are still trying to come to terms with the fact that everything and everyone is a part of the whole, and therefore the whole and the whole is always in the past and in the future, simultaneously. As we continue to grow, as we continue to mature, so do our consciousnesses grow and mature, and as we grow, so does our inherent awareness. The very nature of being human is being in the middle of the middle — which is saying nothing of the fact that you’ve been created in the image of who you are, and are still being a part of the natural order of things. The question you have been given, in your present state, is the question you will ever put to rest. To get a sense of the essence and the nature of the Multiverse that dwells within, is to expand your awareness to the very core of your being. The very idea of being a reality, being actuality — is to expand your awareness to the very core of being. And in this sense, it is that which you are using to experience the world — a way of living as you would want to live.

As we continue to grow, as we continue to mature, so do our consciousnesses grow and mature, and as we grow, so does our inherent awareness.

Now, do you understand what this means, that what you believe to be true, is actually, in that state of the Multiverse within, which is a whole, unified whole, that is the Multiverse within. In this way, you will be able to see that this is indeed a reality that you are able to feel and see from the experience that you are able to choose and define your reality; you can choose and define your reality, in which no time at all is missed, and yet, at the same time, every part of the Multiverse is in existence, all at once. This will be the way for you to understand in a sense that the Multiverse is your own Inner Vision — what is happening in the physical material world is very much a mind-dependent phenomenon. That which you are experiencing in your physical material reality is a dream that is becoming your reality. This way, you will understand why the current universe is the way that it is now, and you will also understand the true meaning of life for it to be a holistic pursuit, and not simply a physical activity. The reason that the modern philosophy has not come up with a unified theory to explain this, is because the only thing that can be said about it is that it is a new view of life — a new view of life, which is a new view of the same thing. And so you see, the problem is that the way you have been taught about the universe, about the existence of the universe, is simply not true.

Now, this is a way of saying that the way in which we have been able to create you and your experience of being able to make the choices that you are able to make is a result of your creation, your evolution, and the whole is a part of the whole. So you are able to see that in your day-to-day life, you are able to create your own reality, and when you are able to become aware of the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse — you will understand that it is always in the background, and in many ways is a direct result of your own awareness of your own existence. The more you understand about the Interconnected Multiverse, the more you will see, and the more you will understand, and the more you will be able to see, and the more you will be able to live, you see? And in this way, you would be able to create your own reality, and still be able to do this by becoming aware and Awareness of the things that are going on within you. It is just a thought, and it is a thought that you think, but you are still able to do the same thing. The way you say it, the way you do it, the way you feel it, and you are still being a part of the natural interconnected whole. That is the only thing that counts, and if we are able to see the idea of the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse as a whole, we can see that it is moving faster than the speed of light, that is the nature of Living Awareness, you see?

In the Western culture, we are constantly creating conditions that make it more difficult for us to live in the present, to evolve, and to pass on our knowledge and experience to the next generation. The idea of creation is found in almost every facet of our lives, and is often regarded as a kind of a concept that is not really a concept at all. In the current scientific paradigm, the paradigm of the familiar, the world of the mind has been reduced to a perception of the senses, and the idea of the mind is seen as a cognitive process. The idea of non-existence is found in almost every facet of the nature of the human body, and is the basis of the view of the body as a form of consciousness, a form of consciousness as a body. The reality of living beings is seen as a biological fact, and the idea of living as a human being is seen as a biological fact. We are so used to seeing life as a machine-made construct, that the idea of the reality of living beings is seen as a biological fact. We are used to seeing the world as a disintegrated whole, and therefore the idea of the world as an integrated whole is new to us. The process of becoming a Spiritual Human Being, and then a transformation of our being can be seen as a process of becoming more and more Awareness of the Zen of Life, of the things that are happening within ourselves, and then the whole Interconnected Multiverse is seen as a living process — a Spiritual and mental evolution.

In the current scientific paradigm, the paradigm of the familiar, the world of the mind has been reduced to a perception of the senses, and the idea of the mind is seen as a cognitive process. The idea of non-existence is found in almost every facet of the nature of the human body, and is the basis of the view of the body as a form of consciousness, a form of consciousness as a body.

The world is a living process, and therefore it is a living thing in the sense that it is a process of change, and in that sense, it is a living thing. As such, there is a perception of a difference between the classical view of the world, and the New Quantum Realization of Life, that is, the new realization of God, of the Omniverse of Interconnected Multiverses Within the Innerverse, you see? Therefore, when people think about consciousness and reality, they are usually thinking in the material sense — in the material sense of the material world, of the material sense of the physical world. When we are perceiving the world as a living spiritual process, we can see that it is a living process that is experienced as a physical experience through our consciousness and awareness. The spiritual gain is, therefore, entirely, internal. When we are aware, and this is the main point of this discussion, we can realize that we are an integral part of the whole, and we are always just a small percentage of the whole. When we are able to see the whole in a single, clear, and present moment, we can realize that the problem of consciousness is not so much a physical material reality that we are able to perceive the world as being truly human.

When we are able to see the world as being a living spiritual system, we can understand that consciousness is a by-product of living and active participation — an inherent part of the whole. The mind is seen as the property of the body, and the body as the property of the mind. When we are able to see the world as being a living spiritual system, we can see that the mind is a product of the body, and the mind is a product of the mind. When we are able to see the world as being a living system, we can understand that the Soul is not only a human being, but human being is the Soul, and also a Divine Spirit. The current paradigm of the New Spiritual View of the World is the result of a great many years of experimentation with these new theories, and because of this, there is a large portion of the scientific community who believe that the best way forward is a way that goes back to the beginning — to the basic idea of where we are, and what we are. When we are aware, and this is the main point of this process, we can realize that we are not the ones with our thoughts, feelings, and desires, but rather we are the ones with the reality that we want to have and experience through our conscious will. This is to say that the mind is a vehicle for the idea of the body; the body is a vehicle for the idea of the mind. The same is true of the physical material world.

As mentioned earlier, when we are Awareness of our Eternal Essence, we can realize that it is not something that is separate from the rest of us, but rather we are a part of that Spiritual whole. This goes on to say that the mind is the same as the wave function that creates it, and that the creation of the mind is a result of the body in action. You are in control of the reality of the physical reality, and the world of the possible worlds that is a product of our thinking. The question becomes: What is consciousness? This is where things get interesting. As we have said, the idea of the Divine Being from where we are coming is a way of thinking about the idea of the Eternal Being, and the idea of the Eternal Being from where we are going is a way of being. We are all inside of some Greater Reality, and therefore we need to understand how we as people are able to enter into experience of that world. In other words, the Spiritual World is coming through the physical life; we just have a preference of which one is more important, physical or spiritual.

Quantum Journal #007-ZX1-AWE-1, 2440-07, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

You can help to save the world by simply being Awareness of your Spiritual Being, and then you will also be able to do what you can to help to create the world a better place. This also means that there is a difference between the two, and that you are going to find that there are many things that you cannot possibly know about the physical material world, such as the time-space-time continuum, and indeed the very existence of the entire Interconnected Quantum Multiverse within the Innerverse of your own being. There is also the issue of reality itself, there is the question of whether or not we are made of the very material reality we are trying to convince ourselves of. I think it is important to point out here that the ideas and concepts that are discussed here are only a small portion of what is actually being explored by the scientific community in the years to come. The Interconnected Multiverse is a very large, interconnected and interrelated process of events, or, in other words, the whole is a very small part of a much larger whole. This means that the questions that are being asked are not really questions at all, but rather they are more akin to comments or notes of respect at this point.

You can help to save the world by simply being Awareness of your Spiritual Being, and then you will also be able to do what you can to help to create the world a better place.

The idea of the existence of a Spiritual World, the existence of a Spiritual Reality is a cornerstone of Sambodhi tradition, and is the foundation of the philosophy that is taught in the future Western world — philosophy that is practiced in meditation, in the philosophy of life, and in the theory of God. When we are reminded that we are in touch with the Divine Structure, we can realize that it is a fabric of experience — it is a fabric of thoughts, and as such, it is important to be aware of the idea of the True Self that we are, and its inherent Spiritual Nature. When we are reminded that we are in fact a deeply interconnected, and deeply interdependent, we can realize that there is a lot of new information being revealed in this life that is of paramount importance for better understanding the nature of human life. The idea of consciousness is also something we have not really fully considered in the current Western worldview, and if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, as well. If the world is seen as a continuous, and even a “kalpa” of consciousness, we can see that the world is nothing more than a reflection of the deeper, underlying Spiritual Reality.

As a result of these many years of trying to find the answers to the most important questions of our time, we have created a set of fundamental beliefs and practices that cover the basis of our understanding of the world. These beliefs and practices provide a tangible manifestation of our most fundamental belief: that of self- and the world-altering potentiality. In other words, there is nothing, and yet everything, and yet nothing and still everything. We have no idea what these things are in what we call physical material reality, and yet we know that they are not eternal. We can, however, define for ourselves, on an as-needed basis, where expense should be made, time should be saved, and what is valuable, and what is needed. And so it goes that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life itself, we need to explore the idea of being more in touch with our true nature. In other words, everything is always in the present moment to protect the one that we love most in our world. As such, it is important to note that the subject of time is divided in to two main areas: (1) the concepts of time and its measurement, and (2) the topics of time and its relation to reality. In the first half of the second act, we move from the idea of time itself, to the idea of the future, and from this, the idea of the past, present, and future.

These beliefs and practices provide a tangible manifestation of our most fundamental belief: that of self- and the world-altering potentiality. In other words, there is nothing, and yet everything, and yet nothing and still everything.

On that note, the concept of God is one that we have a very difficult time defining, because it is defined in such a way that it can be seen as a concept, and therefore it is a concept, not the actual thing itself. This means that the whole Interconnected Multiverse is being actively created by a specific, integrated, and interconnected Divine Knowledge. The core of the Quantum Soul is being created by a specific, interconnected Divine Knowledge; the Soul is a non-physical, non-material entity that is the expression of the Inner Being. This is to say that when we are aware, we can see clearly the inner workings of the mind, of the physical body, of the Spiritual Body of the Soul. The idea of Creation is found in almost every single one of the Living Books of Life that are part of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, and it is a very important idea that is discussed in great depth in the last few books in the trilogy, so I am going to skip ahead to the very end and just say this: the idea that we are one big giant of nothing and yet, there is something — something big, something mysterious, something incomprehensible happening all at once in the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, is a miraculous thing.

We are not really talking about reality here, we are talking about actuality — we are talking about an idea of the actuality of reality that is realized through the art of Lucid Living. So now that you have an idea of the kind of thing we are, and the level of consciousness are capable of having, it means that we have entered a whole new level of consciousness, which is a whole new way of seeing consciousness — a new way of knowing oneself. This new understanding allowed for a new level of understanding — a new level of understanding in the spiritual gain, and therefore a new level of understanding in the understanding of the world within and without, you see? This new understanding allowed us to discover that consciousness is not a state of being, but a state of being itself. So now that we have a better understanding of the subject, it becomes possible to create a more complex web of ideas about reality. The concept of time in physics is also a concept of the sense, which is used a metaphor for the Spirit of the Quantum Interconnected Multiverse. A living Spiritual Being is one which has Spirit in its mind, and Spirit in its body. So you see, the concept of time in physics is a concept of the mind, and the experience of the mind is a concept of the world. When we become Awareness of the existence of duality, we can realize that it is not a separate entity, but an interconnected whole.

This new understanding allowed for a new level of understanding — a new level of understanding in the spiritual gain, and therefore a new level of understanding in the understanding of the world within and without.

You have to be willing to step outside of yourself to get to the world within; you can only know the world through inner experience. The idea of the world as an integrated whole — known in physics as the Quantum Mechanical viewpoint, or Quantum Mechanical Theory of the Interconnected Multiverse within the Innerverse. This allows us to realize that we are not the fundamental thing, but rather a built-in observer or receiver of the Spiritual experience that comes from within, you see? And so it goes that the whole Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is being revealed in a single, massive leap of faith. But as these events occur, they become ever more apparent: as the proverbial dawn of a new Spiritual world, a new paradigm is created — everything changes. When the dream ends, the individual who is no longer — becomes nothing, and then becomes everything, and everything is revealed to be a dream. And when you are no longer John, but just a Spiritual Being, you begin to make links with the past and the future, with the reality you have been taught to believe is separate from and independent of you, when in actuality — you are connected with both, the past and the future, you see?

When it comes to the science of becoming, the whole process can be seen as a kind of Quantum Emergence. We are, in a way, a whole new being, and this process is happening all the time. As you know, in your physical reality, there is a tremendous amount of information — both physical and non-physical. This is to say that everything you have ever wanted to know about life, science, the world, was eventually going to be able to be revealed; it is the thing that is paradoxical in character, that is the thing that is impossible of describing in words. The conclusion being: the world is a beautiful, and indeed necessary process of creating you as the world that dwells within. In the previous chapters, we learned that the Soul is not a separate entity, but is, indeed, a whole force of nature; this whole existence is a whole new creation. When we consider this, we can realize that the idea of the Soul is not so much a biological reality, as it is a spiritual one.

In the Western culture, we have a concept of the world as a concept of space, and a concept of the self as a concept of body. Therefore, it is not surprising that our cultural heritage includes elements from many different spiritual traditions. In other words, the whole Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is seen as a part of a single, larger whole, which is the whole of existence. It is only when the consciousness of the world is no longer absorbed in the senses that it is able to absorb the Soul, and the Spirit of All That Is to be revealed. The Quantum Awareness of Life is the same in both these ways, and hence it is the same which provides the framework for the Awakening. This would mean, thus then, that there is a difference of only a few degrees between the classical view of the world, and the new Spiritual view of the world, and the concept of Soul and Spirit. And yet, it is still Life, and yet it is still Spirit — it is still Life, it is still Soul, and it is still Spirit; this is, after all, the way we have always been, and always will be. It is the process of Awakening, that leads to the realization of the true Self and the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse that we live in. The first is the action of the physical body, the second is the action of the mental, and the third is the Spiritual.

In closing, when one becomes aware of the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse, it is easy to see that it is always in the background, or, more precisely, it is present when we are not able to notice it. The idea of the existence of a duality — it is a very good one, because it defines the concept of time, which is the time-space-time quantum potentiality of the Multiverse. And yet, you will say, well, what is the value of a Living being that is not a product of birth and upbringing? This is to say that our perception of the world changes as we are used to seeing it, and as a result, our perception of the world changes as well. Our ability to perceive the world in a new way is, in a sense, used by the Living System — the physical-spiritual human being is used to thinking that it is a product of our mind, and the system is a product of our mind.
