ENERGY

Unitary Perception, Yoga, Dhjana, Zen, etc. is not something “else” in life. It’s a different kind of perception of that what is happening.

The fragmentary perception is a distorted perception by thought which produces the illusion of the Horizontal Conflict (subject - object). That means frustration, dissatisfaction, sorrow, fear, perturbation.

I see a beautiful girl at a train station and I feel pleasure looking at her, I want the pleasure to continue but she goes away. Or I marry her but I’m poor and there are a lot of other men around so I’m jealous and anxious she will leave me. There is competition for everything and not so much cooperation. One guy builds a rocket to go to Mars and others cannot afford a house. So this process of possession involves pleasure but also suffering, sorrow.

UP is a complete, factual perception in which sorrow is perceived as energy. Everything is transforming energy, like sound and light, and so is thought and sorrow in the brain.

There is only energy and in UP the limited energy of sorrow dissolves in the unlimited unobstructed flowing Universal energy. The undivided Universal energy changes the conditioning of the brain that is stored in memory, identification, tradition, control, the whole structure of suffering constructed by the brain. 

THERE IS NO "MY FREE WILL"

Can we then say that Unitary Perception (Ruben Feldman Gonzalez)/ Attention (J.Krishnamurti)/ Yoga/ Dhjana (Buddhism), Zen is not something that I choose to do and control (my "free will" :)? 

What sees is all there is. UP is all that is happening, the Void, the unitary movement of transformation called the Universe.

The Universe is (in) UP. It's actually the whole Universe that acts, that is all action. 

UP = Attention/ Sunya/ the Void/ the unitary movement of transformation called the Universe.

This is the understanding of what really happens which dispels the false prejudice/ illusion produced by thought, i.e. "I am a separate entity doing this or that".

You do not do "UP" (or anything).

UP is all that is.

There is no 'you" in It.

THE NOISY BRAIN

Do we actually have a choice if the brain is silent or not? I would say not directly.

So the brain is noisy. It is what is. Without the “what should be” of the goal/image of a silent brain, is it not Unitary Perception already?

What we can do is not to drain energy on unnecessary things (drinks, night clubs, cigarettes, overworking, quarreling, playing chess, watching movies, listening to music, all the “escapes” etc.), which is by the way not my “free will” but simply intelligence causing this. And, perhaps more importantly, we can also not fall for the illusion of the horizontal conflict (subject - object). That is already the “triangular” consciousness in which there is thought, flowing without an obstruction, control, effort or choice but in which there are no objects/ goals, right? That is ALREADY UP, with thought.

 THE UNITARY MOVEMENT

They give a good description of the complete movement that is freedom from suffering here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJs3Qr7CQsU&t=55m

Bohm: You're saying that even if you are unemployed and you are responsible for a family, it will not disturb the order of the mind, right?

K: Of course, not.

[...]

Sheldrake: If you can't?

K: I can't.

Why should I worry and bother - I can't, it's a fact.

Bohm: You're saying that it's possible to be completely free of worry, for example in the fact of great difficulties. 

K: Yes. There is no... You see, that's what I'm saying.

Where there is attention, there is no need to... there is no worry,

because there is no centre from which you are attending.

=========================

There is no thought-produced illusion of the horizontal conflict  (subject - object), which means UP, attention, the Void, Sunya, the transforming Universal energy.

One just moves with It, in It, one IS the unitary movement. There is no "free will" (which is another thought-produced illusion).

The Universe acts/moves/TRANSFORMS as a whole, the “free will” of a particular brain is a thought-produced illusion because in fact there is no separation and the particular body and brain is not independent. If something happens in the Sun, if there is a nuclear war, if inflation goes up, if there is no water in the supermarket, if my dentist moves from Paracelsus street to Kafka street, I am instantly affected, right? That means I move with/ in the unitary movement. In fact there IS only the unitary movement.

The “choices” that thought thinks it makes are only rationalizations for what is happening, the unitary movement.

Randomness doesn’t change anything, it’s a feature of the movement but it doesn’t mean there is “free will” of the particular brain.

Alignment to a misalignment is misalignment (delinquency, fragmentation, abuse of intelligence), e.g. alignment to war/ conflict due to tradition, the imaginary fragmentation in memory.

 THERE IS NO CONTINUITY - MEMORIES ARE NOT CONNECTED.

---------------------

The belief that memories are connected brings the ego to life. This is known as the reification of the ego. Reification means to give reality to something that is not real. - Ruben Feldman Gonzalez

If there is any kind of suffering, there is no self-knowledge - Jiddu Krishnamurti

---------------------

The fictitious entity produced by thought. that has a name and continues in time, suffers imaginary fears and sorrows. The perturbations can go as deep as the autonomous nervous system, as the META process of thought goes as deep. 

The "psychological" suffering (a product of the META process) can only happen because of an incomplete perception of reality. In a complete perception, which is Unitary Perception suffering disappears because the limited energy of thought dissolves in the unobstructed undivided energy of the void that is the Universe. What really is, what we call the Universe, is the transformation of energy.

In true life there are no objects. Really there is no division into the subject (the I) and the objects (not I).

True life (beyond time) cannot be grasped by thought, the "I", the me, knowledge.

UP is not to gain some thing but to lose every thing that is false, that is not so. Ideas, traditions, achievements, preferences, choices, efforts, control, my will.

UP is not a technique of "meditation". It is simply all that is happening right now, the contact with the true life that is happening at this instant (not in time, memory, word).

To be free is to let go everything now, which is the perception not directed towards any object or a goal (Unitary Perception). In fact it is not possible NOT to be "doing" That, not to be That. The other, the false life in the horizontal conflict in time, is only a persistent contraction of perception, hypnosis or concentration by thought - me, my will, my life, what I want, my choices, my pleasures, my fears, my possessions, my knowledge, my memories.. 

INNER STILLNESS 

When the brain is completely empty and silent, it is in contact with the Universal energy. It happens necessarily because the inner stillness is the same stillness, order and void that is the Universe.

This is known as Unitary Perception, Universal Perception, Dhjana, Zen, Yoga, etc.

A busy, occupied brain (pursuing goals, security, control, choices, pleasures, etc) can never find it, so all those have to be suspended. The brain cannot be tied in any way to created things or worldly desires. 

UP is not an experience, "consciousness" (as we know it: subject - object) or sensation that thought can find, it is the negation of seeking. It's beyond time and memory.

The purest detachment completely lets go of all created things and the self//the me/my will. It rests on nothing, wants nothing and knows nothing.

What is the essence of all things, from where everything, the tree, the bird and the man, comes from and where it returns? 

Everything, the bird, the tree and the man are only transitory changing forms. There is nothing in this world that does not change, transform. There is nothing in this world to which one can attach oneself and find security.

Predicting, pursuing goals in time and being occupied at work where the horizontal conflict of subject - object produced by thought is necessary can be balanced with resting in complete peace.

THE HOLOMOVEMENT

Separate human bodies do not possess independent, autonomous motion through "space". What people usually perceive (in the Fragmentary Perception of thought) as an individual person walking through space is only a projection of thought. What happens in reality is the unitary Wholeness in constant motion, unfolding and enfolding itself.

1. Motion as the Expression of the Whole

In classical physics, isolated objects exist independently and push against each other in space. Physicist David Bohm inverted this picture entirely: movement is primary, and "things" are secondary abstractions.

• The Illusion of Local Motion: At the fundamental level of the Implicate Order, all "things" enfold back into the total fabric of reality. At the next instant, the total fabric unfolds (re-creates) an updated expression of every "thing".

• The True Actor: What moves "from here to there" is not an isolated piece of matter, but the entire unbroken flow of reality - what Bohm called "Undivided Wholeness in Flowing Movement".

2. Free Will and "What Is"

If reality is an undivided, unbroken unitary movement, the classical concept of individual free will - an autonomous ego sitting inside a brain making independent choices - is a psychological illusion.

Bohm argued that this illusion is generated by thought:

1. The Division of Self: Thought creates an imaginary boundary, declaring "I am inside this skin, and the universe is outside" (the Horizontal Conflict).

2. The Illusion of Control: Thought then imagines that this internal "I" is an independent supervisor directing action, choosing between future possibilities.

3. The Reality of "what Is": In truth, the thought that says "I choose" is itself just another enfolded wave arising spontaneously out of the Implicate Order. There is no separate thinker behind the thought, and no separate actor behind the action.

When Bohm (and his close dialogical partner Jiddu Krishnamurti) spoke of "what is," they meant the unitary (undivided), dynamic state of reality in the present moment. Striving to goals and wanting for reality to be different than "what is" creates the imaginary Horizontal Conflict. Recognizing that "all that can be is what is" dissolves the illusion that a separate "me" could have chosen otherwise.

3. Does This Mean Reality Is Rigid Determinism?

Saying individual free will is an illusion does not mean Bohm’s Universe is a cold, mechanistic clockwork machine. The Universe is a constant dynamic transformation of energy that is always new unitary Wholeness.

• Mechanical Determinism vs. Creative Unfoldment: Classical clockwork determinism assumes separate billiard balls striking each other. Bohm rejected this description because the "objects" that thought and classical physics see as separate parts are not really separate at all.

In Unitary Perception the illusion of the Horizontal Conflict (subject - object) produced by thought disappears.

But  is there even anything unchanging that moves through "time", which continues from "moment to moment" or that is also only an approximation and an illusion produced by thought?
