On Non-Action The existence of sentient beings is characterized by impermanence, therefore, in a state of constant change immersed in the illusion of time and its passing. Each sentient being is convinced that “THEIR” time is everybody's time, whether the person is immersed in joy or sorrow, and the relative perceptions of time. Therefore, in diverse states of perception conditioned by destiny, in ignorance and suffering, the theory of subsequent births (the only explanation for the different levels of consciousness between individuals, suffering, time, birth and death and all the events, between these two coinciding parentheses) responds with clarity and logic to this dilemma, which to many seems a “a Creation based on the throw of the dice,” which could not possibly be the case. The seeker of spiritual realization believes in the ETERNAL SUCCESSION OF BIRTHS. Therefore, infinite impermanent sentient beings (who have the goal of Paradise – Permanency) go round and round in this vicious circle, in one of the infinite Universes, impermanent container (also subject to birth and death). NOTHING IS CERTAIN BECAUSE THE WORLD OF FORM DOES NOT ENDURE. Those who are conditioned and blind, in the darkness of the layers that distort Reality (Form as a cage), live the appearances of life and all the movements of the mind (passion, joy, desire, aversion, hatred, love type “e” (1)) seeking, for obvious reasons, peace in the Paradise in which Non-Action is one of the three gates, together with Emptiness and Non-Form. The seeker surely does not speak about a static Paradise, but of a dynamic Paradise, where one does not “enter” because they “found” it, neither outside or inside. IT IS FOUND, AND THAT'S ALL! It is not an achievement, it was already there (where it is found), every place is the right place! This is the paradise of wisdom that has understood-experienced-perceived emptiness, Thusness, using the love type “a” together with skillful means. In Non-Action there is no involvement in action, it is spontaneous and without thought; this action/NON-Action is required by the compassion which obligates one to be present in the world (until it is emptied of all illusions and so of all suffering and all sentient beings). One must be very strong to undertake such a commitment. This strength comes from the innumerable experiences that the System/Creation of the Absolute offers us; sometimes only by becoming the last or the worst does one become familiar with the force required to rise again. If you place yourself in front of everybody, they can only see your back, if you place yourself last you can see and understand them all, and study ways to help them; This is one of the Unions between existence in form and Paradise, “remembering” that only spontaneous action, without thoughts (of the “I,” the laudable, the good, the self) is in Reality Non-Action “in the inconceivable harmonic interaction.” What is the difference between Existence and Paradise, if the True Nature of Things is Thusness? What actions do those who are simultaneously “the two” (existence and paradise) perform? By abolishing this dichotomy, we can say that they are One Thing, neither existent nor nonexistent. When we experience them and are no longer able to separate them, we have no need to perceive one or the other as separate, as they coexist in the illusory world of phenomena and in the Absolute Reality of THUSNESS. http://www.uselesswords.org/contStd.asp?lang=en&idPag=421
Kannon, In the future please do not copy and paste from other sites without some personal comment on the post. Now, I do not agree with the above at all. Why does "the theory of subsequent births" have to be the only explanation for the different levels of consciousness, etc. between individuals? Taking just the different levels of consciousness, Spiral Dynamics (as just one example) with its emergent development of human consciousness offers a different explanation.
Can not be otherwise everything else would be unfair! How do you explain the fact that a child is born into poverty in a poor country and another in a beautiful place with all the opportunities to grow?
Fair implies that something is right or proper. Right implies wrong. It is a dualistic concept. We can not have right without wrong, we can not have fairness without unfairness or impropriety. One can not exist without the other...therefore they are the same. If they are the same, why do you draw distinctions?
Beyond the duality everything is Right, but Right in the sense of Perfection of the Laws of God! Delete right, delete wrong, just put "perfect". Then, if a child is born in a bad place this happens because everything is perfect. But I also want to understand why, and why is that there is Karma, and Karma is a perfect Law (not right, not wrong). Perfect because everything you make, you recurs.
