Denying the Cycle

When the collapse of order happens, the cycle always begins again with the measurement of time and use of linear memory to define it. We accept the perception of a passage of time and the belief in changes instead of the understanding of cycles. We will again learn to communicate thoughts and ideas, eventually building complex stories so we can domesticate and control the next generation.

We place our faith in the ordering of things, the building upon that order, and the promises made by order. We discount the cycles that rise from and fall back into the un-nameable. The examples of these cycles hide in our concept of time and the grading of the importance of things. We deny the fact that we and every other thing has a life cycle that leads us back to the source. This denial creates what we choose to believe, and causes our need to deny or ignore our natural cycle to drive us. We strive to accomplish some goal before the day, month, year, decade, or century grinds us down, instead of traveling the life path with joy.

The miracle of simply being, and the experience of now, are lost. They’re lost in the accumulation and grading of things, the setting and accomplishing of some arbitrary goal, and the desperation created to hold fast against our cycles. We fight every aspect of life, instead of enjoying the now. As humans, our final hurdle is old age, and the realization that all the created layers of order won’t stop death. But death defines you only if fear drives you to cling, believing your body is you.

Goals Aren’t the Goal

The focus on past accomplishments and future acquisitions, or past regrets and future disappointments, makes our now just another commodity, another thing to be clung to and judged against the now of others. How productive have you been? How many things have you collected? How much do you know about the things of the world? How busy are you? How many goals have you achieved?

Busy work isn’t the goal. Accumulation of more isn’t the goal. The knowing of things isn’t the goal. Goals aren’t the goal. Often there is a total lack of satisfaction at the end of a person’s cycle, as they return to the source, realizing the shiny things distracted them. When they leave, all they have accumulated or regret not doing, all the now not lived, shows in their lack of contentment.

The true question is how often have you looked into another’s soul, seen need, and helped? How many times a day do you stop and quietly thank the universe for your now? How often are you grateful for what you have? Recognize you are a vast ocean of unlimited potential temporarily separated from that knowing. Being apart from the un-namable, as a wave seems apart from the ocean, doesn’t make you any less that essence. Since all this is only a cycle, and at the conclusion you will rejoin the potential yet again, enjoy the now.

What If?                                                           

What if our ultimate achievement is to transcend the cycle and realize our full potential as creators? Select philosophy and theology constructs argue we are all one. What if our goal is for each blessed bag of mostly water to recognize the collective-self we are all a part of? To transcend our societal constructs, forgo the judgmental nature of our dog-eat-dog world, and realize that the pattern continues until we all become aware of ourselves? We must stop creating unconsciously and become deliberate and aware of who we are and what we do.

This is a stopping place for this theoretical philosophy of a magic system for a fantasy world. The following are answers I have arrived at from asking the right question, at the right time. This list will surely grow, or shrink.

Wizaedly Wisdom

Abundance, like happiness, waits for your acceptance and is as unlimited as you allow.

Gratitude, in the now, opens many doors.

Healing of body and spirit is the most deserved and least accepted.

Kindness towards another in the now is a recognition of the potential in yourself.

Judgment traps you in the world of precious things and feeds your desire to be right.

Intention is how you focus potential.

Belief is the only thing that limits your potential.

Be conscious of what you create and take responsibility.

The self you create works from a foundation of love or fear.

Helping each one we encounter to step out of their cycle, is the path to our own enlightenment.

Great Spirit walks on the planet when a God-Conscious person takes a step. The ocean experiences being a wave when the wave realizes it’s the ocean.

We don’t know what is true, because anything is possible.

Wisdom is suspecting you don’t know; learn to use precision doubt.

Doubt everything you know, especially the things you are positive are true.
