THE HORIZONTAL CONFLICT: THE MECHANISM OF ILLUSORY FRAGMENTATION

In the fragmentary perception of thought reality is broken into "objects", which are identified, named and compartmentalized. This broken reality is a persistent recurring hypnotic fictional continuity produced by thought.

Other terms that can be applied to the fragmentary perception can be: the Horizontal Conflict, the Self, the I, the observer/ perceiver/ thinker/ controller. The reactions of this META process of thought are more thought.

This fragmentary perception is incomplete because the Self/ the I/ the perceiver is not included in the perception. Only the its objects are perceived (that what is observed - the observed).

Unitary Perception is the complete perception, which includes all that is happening: the perceived AND the perceiver (a product of thought).

In fact there are not two, the perceiver and the perceived. There is only one unitary movement and when that is realized, it means that the limited energy of thought has dissolved in the unlimited unitary Universal flowing movement (without a division/ fragmentation, control or a goal).

This complete flowing Unitary Perception is the primary function of the brain. UP is reflecting the reality that is not fragmented, because it's free of the horizontal conflict, the fragmentation of thought (into the self and not self). The fragmentation is the essence of suffering and problems.

The entity put together by memories (memory) called the "me", the self, the I is an illusion and the suffering and the problem. Its continuity is imaginary.

In fact there is only a transformation, one unitary flow of the Universal transforming energy and nothing that is not transforming, an unchanging "observer" is an illusion produced by thought.

The fragmentary false movement of clinging/ attachment and aversion, pleasure, fear and sorrow, means living in the "future", becoming, time, so not really living in the Universe of energy but in the hypnotic projection of thought.

UP is not an escape from the mechanism of thought, because all thought with its products (Horizontal Conflict, purpose, goal, pleasure, fear, sorrow, the self, self-pity, my will, effort, time, expectation, etc.) is enveloped in UP.

UP is the contact of the brain with the unitary energy of the Universe.

The fragmentary perception of thought is the contact with thought and its products.

ON MOTION

 

In David Bohm’s theory of the Holomovement (or Holokinesis), conventional movement from one isolated point in space to another ("from here to there") is not a fundamental reality. It is a secondary, surface manifestation.

At the deepest level of reality, there is only the Holomovement—the unbroken, non-local activity of total enfoldment and unfoldment of the entire universe.

1. The Surface Level: Motion "From Here to There" (Explicate Order)

What we perceive as an object moving through space from point A to point B belongs to the Explicate (unfolded) Order. In classical physics, an entity sits "here," travels through pre-existing space, and arrives "there."

In Bohm’s view, this spatial translation is only a kind of a projection created by a deeper process, much like a frame-by-frame film reel projected on a screen. The image on the screen appears to move across space, but in reality, each frame is being projected anew from a single source.

2. The Fundamental Level: Holokinesis (Implicate Order)

At the primary, Implicate (enfolded) Order, space and time are not external containers. An electron does not slide through space from "here" to "there". Instead:

• The electron at "here" enfolds back into the total fabric of the Universe (the Implicate Ground/ Order).

• An instant later, the universe unfolds a new manifestation of that electron at "there".

Because "here" and "there" are both enfolded within the same unitary undivided Wholeness, the movement is not a localized jump across a void, but a continuous re-creation of the Whole.

Bohm’s Ink Drop Analogy

To visualize this, Bohm used the metaphor of a droplet of ink suspended in a cylinder of viscous glycerine:

1. Enfoldment: When the cylinder is rotated, the ink droplet stretches out until it completely disappears into the glycerine. The drop is not destroyed; it is enfolded into the whole medium.

2. Unfoldment: When rotated in reverse, the ink droplet draws back together and reappears as a localized dot.

3. Apparent Motion: If you enfold a series of ink drops at slightly different positions and then unroll the cylinder rapidly, the dots will unfold one after another. To an observer, it looks like a single ink drop is moving from left to right across space.

In Bohmian physics, localized movement from "here to there" is an apparency. The fundamental reality is that there is only the Holomovement - he Universe perpetually folding into itself and unfolding into the Explicate Order of  "form".

ON TIME AND SPACE

In quantum theory time and space are emergent phenomena - secondary properties that arise from a deeper, non-spatiotemporal layer of quantum information (the Implicate Order?).

Just as "temperature" does not exist for a single atom but emerges from the collective motion of billions of atoms, space and time do not exist at the most fundamental quantum level.

1. Space as Emergent Entanglement

In modern theoretical physics (building on work by Mark Van Raamsdonk, Juan Maldacena, and Leonard Susskind), physical space is generated by quantum entanglement:

• The "Glue" of Geometry: If you reduce the quantum entanglement between two regions of space toward zero, the geometric distance between them effectively goes to infinity. Space "tears" apart.

• ER = EPR Hypothesis: This conjecture posits that entangled particles (EPR pairs) are connected by microscopic wormholes (Einstein-Rosen bridges). Smooth, continuous space is literally woven together by a dense network of quantum entanglement.

• 
  

2. The Holographic Principle

Modern physics demonstrates that a universe with gravity and spatial depth can be mathematically translated into a lower-dimensional boundary that contains no gravity and one less spatial dimension.

This shows that spatial depth ("distance") can be viewed as an emergent projection—much like a 3D hologram projected from a 2D sheet of encoded quantum information.

3. The "Problem of Time" in Quantum Physics

When physicists attempt to apply quantum mechanics to the entire universe (Quantum Cosmology), time disappears entirely:

• The Wheeler-DeWitt Equation: 

  
  
  This equation describes the quantum wave function of the entire Universe, and it contains no time variable (t). From the outside perspective, the Universe is frozen and timeless.

• The Page-Wootters Mechanism: Time only "appears" when an observer inside the system correlates one quantum subsystem (a clock) with another subsystem. Time is a relational perspective between entangled parts, not an absolute background flow.

The Connection to Bohmian Reality

To quantum physics, spacetime is real to our macroscopic perception, but it is not fundamental. At the Planck scale, there is no physical distance or temporal tick - there is only a non-local network of quantum states exchanging information.

This directly aligns with David Bohm’s model: what we perceive as space and time belongs to the unfolded Explicate Order, while the primary reality is the atemporal, non-local Implicate Order.

 DAVID BOHMS 'S HOLOKINESIS: the BLOCK UNIVERSE 2.0?

Einstein’s 4D Block Universe

Einstein’s Special and General Relativity leads directly to the Block Universe model (also known as Eternalism), which states that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously within a four-dimensional spacetime continuum.

In standard relativistic physics, space and time are fused into a single four-dimensional manifold ($x, y, z, t$).

Just as a location in space doesn't vanish simply because you walk away from it, points in time do not cease to exist when they slide into the "past. The Big Bang, the extinction of the dinosaurs, "your" birth, this exact moment, and the far future all exist permanently as fixed geometric coordinates inside a static 4D "loaf" of spacetime.

Bohm’s Holokinesis: Dynamic Enfoldment

David Bohm’s theory of Holokinesis is fully compatible with the Block Universe atemporal view of reality, but it interprets how this simultaneity exists in a more dynamic way.

In Bohm’s framework, the Universe does not sit passively spread out across a temporal grid. Instead, the entire Universe - past, present, and potential future - is enfolded within the unitary undivided whole at every moment and contains everything in an eternal now.

Bohm agrees that temporal succession is an explicate illusion, but he rejects the idea that fundamental reality is merely a frozen, static 4D block. In the Holomovement (Holokinesis), simultaneity functions differently:

• Enfolded Simultaneity: The past, present, and future exist simultaneously because they are enfolded within the Implicate Order—much like multiple overlapping interference patterns encoded on a single holographic plate.

• Continuous Projection: What we experience as the "passage of time" is the Holomovement continuously unfolding information out of the timeless implicate matrix into explicit localized form, and then enfolding it back in.

• The Past as Active Memory: In Bohm's view, the past is not a point sitting behind us on a timeline; it is an active, enfolded trace in the Implicate Order, which is always present. The future exists as an enfolded set of structural potentials waiting to project.

Einstein's Block Universe vs. Bohmian Holokinesis

Feature	Einstein’s Block Universe	Bohm’s Holokinesis
Primary State	Static 4D spacetime manifold	Dynamic, unbroken Holomovement
Status of Time	A fixed geometric axis (like height or width)	An emergent projection from the Implicate Order
Simultaneity	All moments exist at fixed 4D coordinates	All moments are enfolded within the unitary Implicate Order

 NO DIRECTION

There is nothing like "only the perception of one bird singing" or only the perception of one loud car/motorcycle" in Unitary Perception.

In UP, which is the perception of reality, this "problem" ("hypnosis"/ "concentration"/ "occupation"/ "direction") does not exist. This problem is produced by thought (as are all imaginary problems) and in UP thought is enveloped in the universal flowing undivided unitary observation and it dissolves in the complete energy, in the wholeness of the movement of reality.

All "problems" are produced by thought, even though thought is functional and indispensable at work, completing tasks (in the product of thought called "time"), planning (where "time is of the essence").

That means in UP there are no problems (also with UP).

In UP there is no direction. Direction is the same thing as one car, one bird, a goal, a choice, an object. This is absent in UP but thought can persistently try to re-invent this illusion (the Horizontal Conflict of subject - object) and produce its hypnosis, so all the false movement of thought must be enveloped in the Unitary Perception.

UP is not a positive thing, because a positive thing is a direction (towards an object/goal in time). UP is a perception that is not directed towards any object or a goal and there is no perception of time in it.

UP is not a will, will does not help to be in UP. UP is the unitary movement of all the perceptible energy that is happening. Where is my will in all that what's happening?

In UP there is no obstruction. We could say that UP is the flow of reality or that UP is a contact with the flow of reality, it's the constant transformation of the matter and energy of the Universe.

UP = the Universe, the Void.

The Universe is in UP.

The source, the ground, the silence of the Universe is unknown, it cannot be known or reached (positively). it is the extreme of detachment from all (the transitory) things, and it is our essence.

Complete neutrality. No position on any thing. Is it the nothing that gathers all things in itself?

 FREE WILL?

Is the absence of free will a consequence of (or the other term for) the fact that the Universe is one unitary undivided transforming movement (cannot be divided/fragmented)?

Is a "decision" in the Universe that is the one unitary movement an illusion?

Physicist David Bohm said: "All that can be is what is".

Albert Einstein wrote: "People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

The statement reflects the implication of the Relativity Theory - often called the Block Universe - where past, present, and future coexist simultaneously in the four-dimensional geometry of the Universe.

So according to our best theory of the Universe, everything already exists. Everything has already happened. Everything is predetermined.

If the experiencer/the me/the I is only a product of thought, how can choice, direction, purpose, "my will be real? The brain inventing the Horizontal Conflict does not reflect reality and it's only a source of imaginary distortion of perception and suffering because it's imaginary, not real.

Only the brain completely reflecting reality (the one unitary movement of the Universe) in Unitary Perception is free of imagination and so free of suffering. 

The absence of free will would not mean that we don't need to make optimal decisions because we don't know WHAT exactly is determined in the Block Universe. So after all, it may still be a bad strategy to lie in bed all day..

 SECURITY

We think we can find security in things or achievements, some objects. We think there must be security somewhere. We gather things and seek everywhere we can but the movement has miserably failed. We cannot find security even in "God", self-help or spirituality, which is a mere idea, a projection of our fears and sorrows. It's all delusion. The horizontal movement in thought/time/memory and the false continuity that we call our "life"/my will/the "I" is only anxiety and disappointment. 

We have been seeking and seeking and what have we found? The brain always wants to identify with something. Is there any thing that can be relied upon, any security? Shouldn't we seriously question if there is security to be found anywhere at all?

Is it not that the fact that we are seeking already imply that we won't find it? :) Any kind of seeking, any striving for a goal, implies time/the future and is already a blockage.

So it is clear that security cannot be in the future. We must completely relinquish the idea of time and completely surrender, let go of everything what we've gathered with indifference to all our knowing, having and wanting. We must surrender to all that is happening without any effort, direction, choice, goal or expectation.

This is not a positive endeavour, adding new content, but subtracting, negating every thing. No external deeds are necessary, but dropping all the clutter, all the attachments. It's not something to do, it's not my will, it's just letting go of all that we think we hold but is not true, real. That means all we are in the horizontal imaginary movement of thought and time, all our knowledge and all and all that we think we have.

That complete negation must must be Unitary Perception, Yoga, Zen, Dhjana or whatever we want to call it? And it must be completely at the beginning, without time/the future. 

Therefore don't ask what to do but what more can be let go so that all that is transitory is dissolved in Unitary Perception. 

What if when all what's transitory completely dissolves in UP, that's and the essence of all freedom and complete security?

 NON-DUALITY

Non-duality is not just thought/knowledge. The word is not the thing. It's not enough to describe it or to just state it in thought. The horizontal conflict must be dissolved in non-dual perception, Unitary Perception of universal energy that is always reaching/is being received in the brain. Thus non-duality is realized.

Just saying that fear/anxiety/stress/sorrow is imaginary (produced by thought) is not enough to end fear/anxiety/stress/sorrow. To end suffering the non-dual Unitary Perception is necessary, which is the realization of non-duality, the unitary movement of reality.

This total perception is not becoming, effort, goal, choice but that what is when becoming effort, choice, control, the false movement of the self produced by thought, ceases.

To realize non-duality one has to be AWAKE (not hypnotized or concentrated/occupied by thought) in the universal reality which is non-dual. 

A: There is only the undivided non-dual unitary Universe, so what's the problem? What is there to be done?

B: That's right, there is only one unitary movement  of the Universe but the brain has developed thought which produces strongly hypnotic illusion of the horizontal conflict (an imaginary division between the subject and object) and the self. The horizontal conflict is a persistent distortion of perception, fear, sorrow, psychological suffering. This false movement is a contraction of perception (hypnosis - "involuntary", concentration/occupation - "voluntary"). This way thought attempts to seize, arrest , fix reality (which is always moving and transforming), and blocks the free non-dual flowing perception of the universal unitary energy in the brain.

A: Where does the universal energy come from?

B: The universal energy is the Universe, which is here and is received here in the brain. The brain is the interface of the transformation between matter and energy that is the Universe.

UP is not a mechanic technique, a goal, knowledge, theory, pattern, definition. A technique would again be the self, the horizontal conflict, something to seek, strive for. All that false movement of thought has to be enveloped in UP and thus it dissolves in the wholeness of the unitary universal energy.

End, negate time.

What is happening here really?

That is very simple. Perceive everything perceptible at once, without effort, expectation, control, words/memory.

In That there is no fear, sorrow or "you"/the experiencer.

 LET THEM EAT "GROWTH"

Bloomberg reports that analysts have raised 2026 outlook for Euro Area:

"Economic growth in the euro zone is set to quicken after showing surprising resilience to the conflict in Iran. The bloc is forecast to expand 0.8% in 2026, up from a 0.5% estimate in July. Gross domestic product increased 0.4%, twice as much as projected."

Grrrreat news everyone ;) Military Keynesianism, the arms race financed with a heavy debt load, works like a charm for the manufacturers of weaponry. 

Efficiency and progress is ours once more. Can I hear the echo from the days of '39?

 THE SELF

The flowing perception of the transformation of all the perceivable unitary (undivided, one, universal, unbroken, unobstructed) energy that reaches the brain right now (we could say "at the same time" but the imaginary concept and the sense of time ends in this total perception) is impossible to happen while there is the illusion of the thinker/the self (produced by thought).

The product of thought that is the self and the horizontal conflict of subject object, is absent in this flowing unobstructed Unitary Perception (UP) without control, direction, effort, choice or a goal.

It is so because the horizontal conflict/the self IS choice, control, effort, direction and a goal - a false imaginary content produced by thought in the brain which blocks Unitary Perception - the contact with the universal energy. The self is the imaginary division of reality, an illusory movement and UP is the movement of the unbroken flowing transforming reality of the universal unitary energy, all That really is.

 FEAR AND SORROW

Fear is a false imaginary movement of the META Process of thought which contracts/narrows perception.

The false division of the horizontal conflict (subject - object) that is produced by thought, is a distortion in observation and the essence of the self and suffering.

In reality there is no ego, self, my will, alter ego, super ego, super I, deeper I, I am, Donald Duck, none of that. It's all a product of thought and this imaginary self is what all fear, sorrow and all psychological suffering is.

All fear and sorrow is memory/thought/imagination/thinking/The META Process (Mnemonic - memory, Eidetic - ideas, Thymic - emotions, Autonomic - reactions of the autonomous nervous system). It is a contraction of perception (concentration/hypnosis).

Unitary Perception (UP)/Dhjana/Yoga/Zen does not mean escaping from fear and its goal is not to escape fear or sorrow. There are no goals in UP. UP means to let go all control, choice, effort and goal seeking and let the scope of perception expand so that fear and sorrow is enveloped in the whole movement of reality, in the unobstructed flow of the universal energy.

To be free from fear/sorrow is to let perception to expand itself with the flow of universal energy, of all that is happening, all the energy that is reaching the brain (light, sound, gravitation). Only in this expanded Unitary Perception, in the unobstructed flow of reality free of control, choice, effort or goals, fear and sorrow dissolves. However it cannot possibly happen if we're always occupied, busy, seeking goals, trying to control what is happening, or fighting in a war.

If a question arises: "Who or what is doing the Unitary Perception?" Then the answer is that it is not anyone or anything doing it. The doer/experiencer/the self (a product of thought) is absent in the flowing perception without control, choice, effort and a goal.

If we were to express this in a positive way, we could say that there is only perceiving, only the void or the perceiving is perceiving. All that is happening is one unitary undivided unfocused universal movement.

THE GOAL 

If you still believe that there is some ("spiritual", etc) goal for "you" in the "future", you are deluded and you have a problem (to "solve".. in the future, of course).

Where there is pleasure (which is also "the future" and "you") there is always fear, anxiety, anger and sorrow.

To want means to want to suffer.

A: The unknown Unitary Perception means not seeking experiences or sensations.

B: Indeed, silence in silence for silence is not something that is added. When you let go of everything and never conclude letting go, what happens?

Liberation is not a journey somewhere but a total collapse of the horizontal imaginary false transitory existence, moving "forward" into the "future". Liberation is not something positive, something you "do", pursue like a goal. It's negation of everything. 

A: All desire must end and there must be only desire for "UP"/Dhjana/Zazen/Yoga.

B: All desire must end, including the desire for "UP". What happens when you're so devoid of everything that you're not willing anything, not knowing anything, not having anything, and not seeking experiences or sensations?

UP/Dhyana/Zazen/Yoga is here when it's understood there is nothing else to "do".

THE TRANSITORY PLEASURES

If there is anything wrong with the movies and any kind of pleasures what is it? It's that they end, right? Every thing ends. One meets some friends or has a love affair, or has a candy bar and it all has to end. We can't wait holidays to come and when they end it means disappointment. Everything in time ends with sorrow and there's also the fear of the end lurking in the shadow. The end of a pleasure, the end of comfort.

But does it have to be like that? Maybe it's only like that when we try to seize the movement, control it, choose what we want and evade that fragments we don't want. That means we identify fragments in the movement that is really unbroken. So it's only an illusion. Nothing can be seized. Everything is moving, transforming, changing. That means that if the brain is stuck, wants to grab and hold something from the movement, it does not completely reflect it as it is, all that's happening exactly as it is, but some imaginary product of thought, at least to some extent, right?

Is UP, Dhjana, Channa, Yoga, etc. simply observing the brain doing whatever it is doing, without any control, choice, purpose, effort, expectation, knowledge, a pattern to adhere to? A perception not directed towards any goal, is that possible? 

There is such a perception and it's urgent and necessary. This perception is not started by "you", it's a freedom from "you". It's a freedom from the human condition of fear and sorrow. It's not mechanic, it's there because of understanding of what happens, the brain and the mechanism of the META process of thought.

If we observe all what's happening like that, without any obstruction of the flow of reality, it implies no horizontal conflict of subject - object that is produced by thought, because in this kind of perception thought does not pursue any goal and does not work to complete any task.(in time). So there is no perceiver/observer/self in it, right?

This new kind of perception is not pursuing any sensations, experiences, fleeting and disappointing pleasures because that false movement is the movement of the self, gathering, choosing, trying to ascertain security and comfort, having preferences. This over that. But reality is one unbroken flow that cannot be divided into good and bad, it's all unitary undivided universal one. That is the reality, irrespective if we want it to be like that or not. That is the truth. We can either live the truth or struggle with it and trying to exert our control over it, choose this or that. My will. Isn't that futile?

 SEAMLESS UP

What if you can't "sustain" UP/Yoha/Dhjana because you want to sustain "it", so you're trying to sustain it - some imaginary ideal state, according to some definition, some pattern you hold?

Is the false movement the problem, the blockage, the noise?

You want to gain Freedom, another goal, another trophy, another some thing more. And apparently it cannot be gained, perhaps it doesn't need to be gained for it's never lost?

The fact is that Reality, the Universe cannot be lost, there is only the Universe and nothing separate from It. All problems with UP are imaginary (in thought) only. So let it go. Let the chips fall where they may, for you don't control anything, so don't try to control anything. Don't try to choose, for you don't even exist.

 IN THE WORLD OF MONKS

I am not "Arek", come on.. :) Certainly not the Arek from the secondary school :) I am not. I do not exist. There is no "me". "Arek" is a false illusory imaginary product of thought (although sometimes functional in the society).

Some pray "Oh please my Lord, tell me what to do. Manage my life. I'm sure it will work out for the best" :) That is a fictional duality produced by thought. Who do you pray to?

But if we say that in Reality there is no duality, no "me" that can say: "I am the Universe", therefore this identification (and all identification) is a mistake. 

The one unitary movement of the Universe has nothing to do with any identification with it.

Only the Universe Itself could say: "I AM", but it doesn't say. Who says that is not (one with) the Universe (anymore).

REALITY 

If you blindly follow anyone, you will fall in a hole. There are no gurus and no one is infallible. Even Einstein was wrong many times. Being mistaken is not bad, it's bad to just accept and believe anything without doubting and investigating from the ground up, which means learning.

For reality to be reflected in the human brain, all knowledge, all symbol, pattern, every object and every goal has to be let go/transcended.

THE PERSISTENT ILLUSION 

The only "decision" thought/ the "me"/ the self can make regarding UP/Yoga/Dhjana/Zazen which it does not know, cannot "know", and will never "know" (thought can "know" only a description, a definition, words and symbols), is not to even be silent (which thought cannot decide upon obviously) but to not re-act, let go, suspend doing anything at all, and suspend language. THAT means an all-inclusive observation and silence. But it's not that the self that starts it (its supposed "last decision to start UP"). 

If UP should not be just more of the thought-hypnosis, the observation naturally MUST be all-inclusive and unbroken, flowing. There cannot be any sense of a division in it (the horizontal conflict of subject-object), no sense of control, expectation or effort, which is all again the "self", produced by thought.

So yes, the observation IS indeed "all" inclusive (as one unitary movement) but it's NOT more effort, expectation and it's not another (positive) goal that is set by thought to pursue.

UP is not a "leap" (a positive action), it's a negation of the whole mechanism of thought.

The "me" cannot "leap" anywhere, including to UP because there is no "me", it's an illusory product of thought. 

Nothing per se is "started" or "leaped to". The Universe is always already here, no need to make any jumps! Where would be the jumping to? That what is is all there is. David Bohm said, quite correctly that "all that can be is what is". Nothing is separated from It.

This need to pursue a goal (what is - the Reality vs "what should be" - an ideal) is a persistent illusion/hypnosis/conflict produced by thought - the Horizontal Conflict, time and the "self".

So what really happens is that in the Simplicity, the One unitary Reality, thought produces the persistent ILLUSION of separation and the need to "do something" to "return to reality", which means a pursuit of just another goal, the horizontal conflict, hypnosis and the "self" with its fragmentary perception.

 NOT KNOWING

Can UP/Dhjana/Channa/Samandhi/Yoga, etc. be positively initiated as a positive movement (with effort) or every positive movement is a pursuit of a goal (in time, with the horizontal conflict), so concentration, a perception directed towards some object, so re-action (based on knowledge/thought) and concentration?

Can then UP be a different kind of action, a negative discipline, the negation of that what is false. Not pursuing any goal with expectation, not controlling anything, not concentrating, not knowing, not re-acting according to any pattern or definition?

When that what is false is negated (by intelligent observation and thorough understanding), the real movement is that's what is left here. 

 THE FALSE MOVEMENT

The false movement of thought of self-aggrandizement (seeking power, prestige, profit) must be thoroughly understood. The other side of it is of course fear and sorrow. Suffering is the expression of the self.

This false imaginary illusory movement is in "time" (horizontal), gathering things that are supposed to bring "me" safety, pleasure and comfort. But what's more important, it brings anxiety, fear and sorrow.

Pleasure (desire, preferences) = fear and sorrow, they're like two sides of the same coin.

No control and wanting nothing is that what is, the true movement of Reality and the only liberation from the persistent illusion produced by thought, called the horizontal conflict (subject - object) and the self.

Not wanting anything includes "God", "zen", "yoga", "Unitary Perception", etc. and it means a close observation of the whole false movement of thought, that persistent illusion coming and going, trying to produce unnecessary tasks and goals, attempting hypnosis. It means letting things flow without controlling anything, letting go everything that is so called "my will".

The pure negative observation of UP neutralizes the false movement, the memories trying to create the false continuity, desires, etc.),

The brain is a product of the unitary movement of Reality, it is one with the movement.

The movement is at the same time in the brain and the movement creates the brain. UP = The Universe.

 DOING NOTHING

UP is being done but it's not done by "me". Can it then be started, initiated or ended? Perhaps something can be started (striving towards a goal, completing a task) or ended only by the me, the self, which means the Horizontal Conflict (the me vs not me, subject and object).

In UP I do nothing. There is no Horizontal Conflict and no "me"/the experiencer/controller in UP.

UP is done by the universal energy, the energy of the universe penetrating the brain. The Universe is in UP. UP = the Universe.

If UP ends, it means hypnosis by the movement of thought and the illusion of the Horizontal Conflict. But the universal energy is always in the brain, reaching the posterior brain, if we make noise with our goals, desires and fears and are separated from It or put out house in order and are one with its Silence.  

 FREEDOM

Freedom (from the human condition) is the cessation of the false imaginary illusive duality produced by thought (the Horizontal Conflict of subject - object), that is the Unitary/Universal/Unfocused/Undivided Perception, perception not directed towards any goal or object.

The false duality of the Horizontal Conflict is the source of all fear and sorrow and a myriad  of human problems.

UP is not something to pursue as a goal, a technique. It is the Reality in which one wakes up from the hypnosis of thought (the Second Awakening).

There is no leap to Life, there is no need to "jump" to Life. No jump is necessary. Life is all that IS, only always.

UP is perceiving the movement of thought, the false hypnotic continuity produced by memory (the "me", the "self"), thereby preventing hypnosis and negating the false movement of the Horizontal Conflict. The hypnosis of the self, with its knowledge and goals, does not happen or happens less and less. The functional (but imaginary) life of  measuring, predicting, inventing goals and completing tasks in the horizontal time must be balanced with the vertical life in the peace of UP.

The energetic Void (the unitary free unobstructed flow/transformation without a controller/self) in the brain is the reflection of the Void of the Universe. In fact it is the same seamless unbroken Void.

We can indeed call this Perception Universal because there is no division in it. In Reality there is only one movement of the Universe, free of any self, controller, subject, or "doer".
