the catastrophe of human life is the brain's tendency to be caught in a sense of the personal - which is merely its past images claiming authority. Images - structures in the memory - claim a voice and try to take precedent over the fact of what is actually happening. The images and their process are "the personal". There is "adjustment" within and without to accommodate for this "personal". The adjustment process is the churning grind of human misery and confusion, pain, occasionally escaped by pleasure. The personal is false in that it is based in the past - it is merely images - it is the past - it is immediately at odds with the burning fact of the present...the truth. No matter what "the personal" does there is conflict, delusion and isolation. The personal IS conflict. and in the name of the personal, every kind of horrific act, abomination, negligence, disorder, dullness,and immorality is manifest. It is always trying to keep itself "alive", and so there is never true understanding and therefore never total action.
Is it possible, then, right now, for the mind to simply SEE THE TRUTH OF THIS? Doesn't consciousness itself show the truth of this without there having to be belief - more imagery? Isn't the truth of this inherent in what is?
What's happening in this question? In this seeing?
