Yes, CandidaInContext,

This whole mess reminds me of the the Bhagavad Gita.

This is exactly what was going through this brain of mine when I was writting this stuff to DQ. Its the Bagavad Gita all over again - with just slight variations. Do you remember what Krishna's argument was to Arjuna?

The way I understood it was Arjuna was a soldier that did not want to fight his relatives in a war that was going to be like a battle of Armageddon.. He was questioning himself about his honor, being a coward, the conflicts of doing the right thing and fears of doing the wrong thing. 

And Krishna, taking the form of the charioteer, was trying to persuade Arjuna that he should go to war with his argument. Funny how DQ writes about loving thy neigbor is all well and good but try telling that to the gorialla.  As though he is the opposite of Arjuna.

By the end of the story Krishna convinces Arjuna that the predestined event is providing a role for him to act out like an actor in a play. Arjuna is convinced that he should disregard his feelings about moral decency- of loving his brothers and to take part in the battle as if it were his role and not to worry about the consequences of it. 

Basically putting the mind aside and go into the situation as it was the honorable thing to do for the role he had chosen for himself.

For me the point is clear of what to do, and that is to not decide beforehand how I am going to respond to any situation. To remain as loose and natural as I can. Call it the way of Tilopa, it is tantric. And that entails not making any choices. Because any choice that is made before any situation arises, it is playing into predestined, unconscious action. In making any kind of plans for future, awareness is lessened. It is not living moment to moment. To jump out of the dimension of cause and effect is to not make a choice beforehand, but remain in a state of choicless awareness. And to allow the life situation to make the choices for you, let existence make the choice as the situation unfolds. To remain alert, and not bog oneself down with making too many plans about what to do, so one is able to respond spontaneously to whatever situation that may arise.

These are very rare moments in human history, for the raising of consciouness, that we are now entering into.  Great for real growth.

Peace  -*-
