CHAPTER 38

38 A.

“THIS IS NOT MINE.   **THIS AM I NOT.    ***THIS IS NO SOUL OF MINE.

*My Possessions     **My Body      ***My Mind         (The Buddha)

INTERPRETATIONS BELONG TO, OR ARE IDENTIFIED WITH, MY BODY AND

NOT ME – MY TRUE SELF – WHICH IN MY MIND. THIS MY TRUE SELF, IS

IMPLY MY MIND AND MOT A (MYTHICAL) SOUL*(01)

*(01). YOU SHOULD PROTECT, PRESERVE, AND PROGRESS YOUR

ENVIRONMENT (THE BASIS OF WHICH IS YOUR BODY) FOR PROSPERITY.

BUT, YOU MUST FATHOM, FOSTER AND FASHION YOUR SELF (WHICH IS

YOUR MIND) FOR ANY POSSIBLE FUTURE.                            (COMMENTARY)

38 .B

“TWO KNOWABLE DHAMMAS (TRUTHS) MUST BE THOROUGHLY KNOWN – MIND AND BODY

(THE BUDDHA)

38. C

THE FACTOR WATCH CONDITIONED TIME, SPACE AND MATTER*(01) INTO

REPETITIVE FINITE CYCLES ARE AS UNIQUE AS INFINITY ITSELF; AND WE HAVE

NO CONTROL OVER THEM. BUT WE CAN CONTROL OUR OWN MINDS*(02)

HENCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM BEING ADJUSTED, WITHIN THE NATURAL LIMITS, EVEN INTO THEIR BASIC OR ORIGINAL STATES.

*(01) INORGANIC MATTER IS THE SPECIFIC CONDITIONED MATTER OF SPACE.

THIS MATTER IS MADE USE OF BY THE UNITS OF MIND TO CONSTRUCT THEIR BODIES OR, ORGANIC CELLULAR MATTER.

*(IT IS RATIONAL TO PRESUME THAT WE CAN CONTROL OUR MINDS UPTO THE

POINT THEY WERE CONDITIONED. SINCE THE UNIT OF MIND TOO HAS BEEN CONDITIONED.)

REBIRTH’S THE TENET OF A RELIGIOUS SECT, FOUNDED ON SURMISE AND A RARE EFFECT IN A FEW WHO RECALL WITH SOME CONSISTENCE, EVENTS WHICH POINT TO A PRIOR EXISTENCE.

BUT WHEN QUERIED AS TO WHAT’S REBORN, THE RELIGIOUS PUNDITS FLURRY,

THEN SCORING “THE TEACHING STATES THAT THERE IS NO ‘I’, EVEN WHEN LIVING, SO WHY WHEN YOU DIE?”

OF COURSE THIS IS A SAD PRETEXT, TO JUGGLE WITH WORDS AND CONFUSE

THE TEXT, MUCH LIKE THE WAY THEY EXPLAIN THE GOAL, IGNORING FACTS AND DISTORTING THE WHOLE.

  1. D THE SUPPOSITION THAT ONE CAN ACQUIRE ANOTHER BODY AT

DEATH.*(01), IS WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION. BUT TO THINK THAT ONE CAN, AT DEATH, SOMEHOW, BECOME A DIFFERENT (BODY OR) PERSON*(02); IS UNIMAGINABLE (UNLESS IT IS A SPECIES CHANGE).

*(01). IN THE SAME MANNER THAT ONE ACQUIRED THE PRESENT BODY!

*(02). DIFFERENT IN CHARACTER TO WHAT ONE IS AT THE MOMENT!

(COMMENTARY)

*IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SOEVER OF THE MIND BODY CORRELATION, YOU HAVE LOST THE PURPOSE OF BEING EVOLVED AS A HUMAN. AS IT IS THE FIRST

ESSENTIAL OF REALITY. THE OTHER IS THE EVOLUTION DEVOLUTION

PROCESS. IF YOU CAN ACQUIRE AN ABSOLUTE UNDERSTANDING OF THESE

TWO, TO THE EXTENT OF CHARACTER; IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ADJUST

INDIVIDUALLY, EVEN AGAINST (THE SPECIES) DEVOLUTION, YET WITHIN THE

COSMIC PROCESS, IN THE BEST POSSIBLE MANNER, TO ACQUIRE ANY ULTIMATE REALIZATION.*(01)

*(01). THE ONLY SUCH POSSIBILITY IS TO ADJUST ONE’S PATH (EVOLUTIONARY AND DEVOLUTIONARY) TO THAT THE HIGHER EVOLUTION MENTAL BEINGS, THIS IS THE BEST AND ONLY WAY TO COMPLETE REALIZATION OF REALITY.

THE BUDDHA CONSIDERS THE MIND AND THE BODY AS FIVE AGGREGATES.

THESE FIVE AGGREGATES ARE NOW CONFINED TO MERE WORDS, UNLESS THEY

ARE CORRELATED WITH SCIENCE. ONLY SCIENCE IS CAPABLE OF ‘BRINGING

LIFE’ INTO THESE WORDS – NOW! THE SAME APPLIES TO THE EVOLUTION

DEVOLUTION PROCESS. THE BUDDHA CALLED THIS THE ARISING AND PASSING

AWAY OF THE AGGREGATES.. THIS IS EQUALITY CONFOUNDING WITHOUT

SCIENCE. THEN, HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE FOR ASSOCIATES OF THE BUDDHA, TO

COMPREHEND THESE PHENOMENA, EVEN LOOSELY, OVER TWO MILLENNIUMS

AGO? THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD SOME PRACTICAL

KNOWLEDGE OF THE MIND – CERTAIN MENTAL ATTRIBUTES, WHICH (WITH THE RETURN OF DEVOLUTION) ARE NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE TO ANY HUMAN OF TODAY.

APPENDIX TO 38B

 

COMMENTARY

THE BUDDHA’S REFERENCE TO AN INDIRECT PATH TO REALIZATION, IS APPLY

THE SCIENTIFIC WAY – THE ONLY WAY NOW! FOR UNLESS ONE ACQUIRES AN IRREFUTABLE CONVICTION THAT ONE IS NOT ONE’S BODY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRULY START OUT ON REALITY.
