does it matter who your parents are ?
are we beings of flesh and blood ?
or are we sentient beings residing in material
bodies ,not affected in any way by matter
in either the form of Blood,bones and skin,
or matter in the form of racial stock ?
when we leave this body it turns into food
for worms, is it so special that it's lineage
imparts some type of superiority or inferiority
to the temporary resident of the body ?
the concept of a relationship existing
between the conscious entity residing in the corporeal form that is in some way affected
either by "better" or "worse" affiliations
in terms of lineage is hardly a scientific
or mystic or "spiritual" truth.
Rather it is based on misconceptions not only
of the true nature of reality but also of
the true nature of our being and our
relationship to the being of the transcendent
Whole.
Whether a person is born in an igloo or
in Buckingham palace the only real difference
between them is Karmic in nature, not material
difference based on genetics, but a difference that is born of the evolution of consciousness.
A person is born either in wealth and happiness,
healthy and loved or a person can be born
into a different situation , from middle class
to the lowest and most unhappy situation
that is found, crippled, poverty stricken,
orphaned, abused, etc.
Why is this so ?
why are some born into affluence,love, and education while others into misery ?
It doesn't matter who your parents are, those of
great pedigree may have children of great
misfortune, deformed,sickly,imbicilic,etc.
It doesn't matter if you were born into the
good life,at any moment you may be
sent into a maelstrom of misery, sickness,
poverty,incarceration,mental distress,
etc.
Or, if you are born into misery, at any time
that may change and your life could become
blissfull.
The geneaology of your parents is irrelavant
to the absolute truth, that is to say
easy come, easy go.
when we view the world as a series of unrelated
happenstance occurences, with ourselves
as being the winner or loser depending
on the luck of the draw or the position
in society attained by our lineage, we exist
in what the sages of India call "Maya",
delusion.
This world to them is under the spell of
"Maha Maya", The great illusion, what seems
to be real is in fact an illusion.
even the mundane quantum physicists agree with that,The substance that comprises all material
things(quanta) is not what it appears to be, most of any solid object is empty space.
Atoms have mass or weight in some mysterious
unknown way, they have been searching for
"the god particle", this theoretical stuff
is all pervasive and without it the nature
of quantum physics or "nature on the atomic level" is completley baffling, without it the world
as a solid place shouldn't exist.
Also to the ancients Maha Maya had another
meaning as well, the world as an illusion
created by a magician.
All things exist in our consciousness and mind
relative to our understanding ability and education.
What the world is to a cat is different then what the world is to you.
the world is the same regardless ,but the perception and
understanding of the world changes according
to your ability.
The absolute truth is that which is true in all
circumstances, non relative truth.
to say i am a man is relative to my bodies
continuing existence, my manness ends with the end of my body, it is a relative or non absolute
truth.
all temporary truths are relative to time,
place and circumstance, the absolute truth
transcends those things, it is the eternal
truth.
All temporary circumstances are relative to
the absolute truth, that which is changeless.
So what is the absolute truth ?
