What If There Is No God? (Part II)
Part I: Hope and Fear
Part II: The God Within
Part III: "Hsin Hsing Ming"
If you believe in science, and most do, the first thing to do is
understand a simple truth: all of the universe is a made of energy.
You are energy, therefore you can not die. In fact, death really does not exist
as you know it. You can only change from one form of energy to
another. This is transformation, and there is nothing that is
immune to it, including yourself.
Your first task is to truly understand
this fact and start to learn to flow with change. The second thing to
understand is that all you perceive is but a reflection of your mind. In
actuality you see nothing, but energy moving into the eye, which is carried to
the brain, where a mental image is formed you
tag with a name.
But what it is that you are actually seeing? It is said
no two people see the same thing. It is the mind that sees and sets the
stage of deceit. This deceit has many names: the great dream, the great
illusion.
It has the facade of reality. But it is not reality, at least
as you know it. True reality is very much different than how you define it.
You deceive yourself from moment to moment each day of your life by what
you think is reality. How can you find peace in fakery? How can you find
pleasure in an unreal world?
Knowing the Truth
Finding truth is as simple as closing your
eyes and letting go of the mind. In the darkness lies truth, quietly
waiting for you to discover it. Yes, there is a God, but not the God you
perceive.
You are God. As Jesus said, "Don't look here or there for
heaven, it is within you." If I might paraphrase the Buddha, "Awakening
to the true nature of our mind brings about the spiritual
transfiguration that some call Enlightenment."
Enlightenment can be defined
as simply knowing truth. Seeing things in their true nature and knowing
you are part of it brings inner contentment. But no matter how many words I use,
you can not experience
it without first finding it yourself.

"A good start is to read, ponder and
experiment with reality until you see the truth."
|
You have the power to find it, but
the false dream is very strong. It will not allow you to break free that
easy; it takes a Buddha or a Christ.
In fact we each a Buddha, we are
each a Christ, but we are sleeping engulfed in the eternal dream.
How then can we awaken ourselves? A good start is to read, ponder and
experiment with reality till you see the truth. There have been
great Masters who have walked this Earth. One great one wrote something
known as the Hsin Hsing Ming.
The last section of this Message is the Hsin Hsing Ming.
