I took the kernel of this topic from a section of the preceding thread as it had a curious direction of its own, in terms of describing the subtle spiritual operation of adaption in everyday ordinary situations.

 

***********************************************************************

 

Reality is neither emptiness nor formality; so what can be grasped?

 

Savoring the singular flavor in the midst of worldly situations, there is no determining where the self begins, therefore there is no determination based on the existence of the self-made personality’s historicity in terms of residual situational responsibility.

 

This is not some other state; just as you are, you simply accept your spiritual function with open hands (grasping neither bias nor inclination) and take the forward step beyond the edge of conformity without anyone’s knowledge.

 

One’s spiritual function is just nonpsychologically aware recognition of the present situation requiring no thought or action and extending this presence subtly in time without thinking about it. It’s your mind not following thoughts. Eventually, after a long time, this function will stabilize in the midst of affairs, while the petty human mentality atrophies.

 

Enlightening response is precise in terms of the situation’s potential, independent of emotional or personality issues, because enlightening being is unified within the context of the situation by our potential essence.

 

Potential is whole; each individual is an absolute totality of unity within and without the created as its undifferentiated potential whether people know it or not. Ultimately, the absolute does not depend on conditions at all. Yet by virtue of specific conditions in time, creation is the nexus of spiritual transformation in terms of real human beings not going along with fascinations in karmic evolution based on their nonpsychological awareness of the knowledge of potential in ordinary situations.

 

Though one is naturally and personally committed in the evolution of situations, one’s functional identity is impersonal. Impersonality being the nature of seeing is the same as the freedom of uncreated potential essence. But what we see is unrefined essence. Seeing it is the first step in refining it into the medicines of the elixir of immortality.

 

The hermit lives in the city, using the polluted to refine the self. There is no self-refinement divorced from conditions. Conditions are whereby the activation of one’s own unrefined potential constitutes refinement in the midst of the worldly.

 

Unrefined potential is another way to say karmic energy. The whole milieu of existence is just this unrefined potential. No man is an island.

 

The pattern of enlightening process is activating unrefined potential by seeing it with nonpsychological awareness void of the selfish perspective of the false personality of the being that is going to die. Recognizing potential at the onset engenders a situation. All people do this all the time positing their psychological projections unawares. Recognizing potential is natural, yet few see it (catch it) with their instantaneously fluid nonpsychological Unborn mind— and even fewer are able to effectively sustain the subtle awareness indefinitely.

 

Going along with conditions using nonpsychological awareness, one watches the arising of polluted energy (unrefined potential) in the course of events. One sees this energy because it is virtually oneself to the extent one is subject to the conditioned energy of the situation, yet it is seen in the evolution of the situation as myriad things act in concert.

 

Because the situation is not a separate existential reality, and potential is the totality’s essence, it is possible to conjure the essence of the real from within the false by that same subtle concentration that extends the continuity of one’s spiritual function of nonpsychologically aware recognition of the present situation requiring no thought or action.

 

Through subtle spiritual observation, the arising of the natural killing energy of the yin convergence is seen. When this natural occurrence peaks, this is when spiritual adepts withdraw with the total unrefined potential energy of that situation intact and hide it away in secrecy void of intellectualism. It is not a matter of doing; it is a matter of seeing.

 

Sages never move on. Closure is for wimps. Wizards have the heart to take hearts. Why? Because the world is verrrry greedy and it wants your ass; all of it, every time— even though it does nothing with it except kill it in the end. It uses the whole of creative evolution to accomplish this. So, not only do enlightening beings not go along with this scenario— they reverse it and take it all the way back to its source.

 

Do you?

 

And why do I ask? I ask because the most difficult aspect of spiritual alchemy is in the aftermath of stealing potential. After withdrawing the unrefined potential from the matrix of the creative one must seal it away without so much as a spark or the entire (firing) process of nondoing leading up to the prior achievement is in vain. The experience of sudden enlightenment is no different other than it being the accomplishment of the major cycle.

 

This is the reason for the taoist alchemic manuals stressing the importance of the period of ten months incubation of the elixir pill after it has crystalized, in order to secure its maturation after it has congealed into the pill of immortality. It happens over and over in the lesser cycles indefinitely. This is what self-refinement is in terms of the firing process.

 

Those who see this are able to adapt with their (the whole situational) immaterially inert potential intact (which is the totality of a given situational evolutionary quality in this context). Those who do not see this, gain the kinetic energy through bondage to karmic historicity of ordinary delusional existence based on the circumstantial identity such a person sees as itself in its ignorance.

 

Potential is by virtue of the situation, but it is not the situation at all. Situations are the inert ingredient, whereas potential is impersonal essence. Look at it this way: either people are keyed on the karmic reality from the perspective of the personality or they are turning the light of creation around to shine on its primal illuminated impersonal source.

 

Though the light is the same, most people are following their created birth/death scenarios while ignorant of reality by going along with the karmic momentum of delusional creation, whereas the few turn the light of creation around to follow it in reverse in terms of their immortal unborn essential nature.

 

The light is the same: ordinary ignoramuses go along with it, whereas enlightening beings turn the light around to shine back on its source. In order to reverse the light, one must first stop, or rather employ a special kind of perpetually open-ended waiting while allowing one’s habitual karmically-oriented psychological momentum to die by one’s own inherent enlightening inertia. It is not a matter of waiting at all— it is a matter of conducting oneself with sincere open impersonal intent in the midst of worldly situations over and over and over without end.

 

How else would one arrive at the endless?

 

I could be wrong in terms of physics, but mass/time/energy equals gravity/momentum in terms of alchemy. Gravity and momentum are not desirable if you want to fly aloft or dive into the depths according to the timing of situational potential. Transcendence is in not going along with creation; that is, at the right time, one acts (or not) at will, without a moment’s notice, with selfless precision— and no one can stop you.

 

It is not a matter of one’s own power or anticipation. The absence of psychological momentum is the effect of spiritual inertia by the power inherent in one’s unified potential within any given situation before the first thought. Inertia is another word for nonresistance. Nonresistance is the nature of enlightenment, which is the Virtue of Power.

 

I am referring to The Virtue of the Receptive.

 

Nonresistance isn’t relative to karmic energy, it is the doppelgänger of the source of spiritual energy of subtle adaption. Nonresistance is the vehicle for what is referred to as the body outside the body. It is NOT another body, nor does one direct it. Stability at the Center is the immaterial body of awareness, which has no location.

 

I refer to it as the doppelgänger to emphasize one’s intimate familiarity of inherent unity as the substance and function of the spiritual effect of abiding in the Center, the immaterial body of awareness, the source of incipience of potential, the impulse of living impersonal energy which has no location.

 

It is nothing but you alone, yet, like a twin otherness, it is not you. Furthermore, it is not a thing— there is only the spiritual function of transformation in the midst of the temporal. It is not wonderful, but is simply natural enlightening qualities beyond conceptual ramifications.

 

Surely it is beyond convention.

 

This is why I say you do not rely on your own power.

 

I have heard tell that there are buddhists having several of these bodies: well, this ain’t any of those. Why? Because this one isn’t even one.

 

One’s sincere open intent gathers the virtue of the receptive. When Power is replete and the celestial timing arrives, one grabs the “cubic centimeter of chance” by seeing it. This is the proper order of going through “endless transformations of yin and yang”.

 

It gets back to “Response is precise in terms of the situation’s potential independent of emotional or personality issues because enlightening being is unified within the context of the situation and its potential. Potential is whole; each individual is an absolute totality of unity within potential.” These are just words, people. Those who get here will know how it is for themselves.

 

The subtle consistency of reality isn’t based on anything beyond an inherent incipience with respect to the present situation itself in terms of potential, the very root of sameness within difference which is what seeing reality is. Acting or not, in accordance with the timing of reality, one partakes of the Supreme Vehicle, in terms of Suchness, by virtue of one’s awakened Dharma Eye.

You are close enough here to lose nothing in the semantics, deci.

So true, welcome back!
