Everything what you have amassed, all what you have built for yourself, you will have to leave. The whole empire. And you have invested so much hope in it, you have spent so much energy and worried so much over it.
Oh, so you need a successor, and you say you do all this for him. Because otherwise it doesn't have any sense of course.
So yes, you will give all that to him and spoil him. He will have a great time wasting it.
Because you gave him the land, the houses and the money but didn't teach him the one key to happiness, the one thing he needs to live intelligently: Unitary Perception.
So you see that this place is a mess, to use an euphemism.. You compare yourself to your friends and the 'professors' on TV and you see you're not well-to-do, you're not famous, nobody listens to you and you struggle to make ends meet. You go around unhappy praying or lamenting. Also wanting punishment for those who do well in this crazy society, a retribution, a revolution, a war, you want some outside order to be put from outside, a violent police state is fine.
You re-invent God. And another life (lives). In the next one you'll be happy, better car, better wife..
But there is no other life, nobody has seen it. It's just hope.
The problem is you've never been alive. You have only been hypnotized from young age into believing in those things. Your nationality, your religion, respect for the flag and the uniform, you have been hypnotized into believing you are your name.
The world is full of lamas, priests believing in whatever they believe, 'new age' advocates repeating mantras, praying, chanting or burning incense. People can believe they do something worthwhile while paying attention to their breadth.
It's good to first understand why someone wants to hold 'attention' on the breadth and who and why brings it back again when it wanders. Who even invented it in the first place and why does someone else follow his advice? It's very simple yet almost always overlooked by the teachers of some technique.
There are ancient belief systems, disciplines or philosophies, like Buddhism, early Christianity, Taoism or Zen, which lost their cores, were mistranslated and become misused. They may or may not have had the essence.
The fact is they are all empty shells now at best. Most turned into hierarchies, nationalism, machinery of government.
We need a careful precise language and a definition.
Unitary Perception (UP) is not a technique, it's a brain function like sleeping or eating. It is precisely defined.
UP is perceiving everything perceptible at the same time (now) without any effort or expectation. When thoughts happen, they are listened to as well, with all sound, in the brain.
UP is a perception which is not directed towards any object. It can be said, it is to be UNfocused.
From ontological point of view, UP is an observation which includes the observer together with the observed.
Please suspend language, look and listen. If what you're seeing and hearing is 'Germany', 'Argentina' or some other 'country' then you are hypnotized by thought. You are not really seeing and listening.
It is enough to include in observation the voice which says: 'it's France' or 'it's Poland', We are a proud nation'. As if it was a sound.
Perceive everything that is happening right now. Including the perceiver, the bunch of thoughts that come and go.
Then you won't be contributing to a growing confusion and conflict. Then you won't waive a stupid flag and cry at a sound of a song.
You won't go killing 'the enemies' when the hypnotized 'leaders' start beating the drums of war.
But dialogue must be cultural.. Is it enough to say: 'OK, it will be cultural'? It would remind the pledge of a drunkard that he will drink just one shot. Yea, right..
So something much more is needed. Perception of what's going on. If I start to sputter words like a machine gun, hypnotized by my opinion, I just see what is going on. I'm not saying it's OK or it's wrong that I'm violent, that I'm comparing myself with others and I'm greedy or envious. I JUST PERCEIVE the thoughts without any reaction, without choice, effort or expectation.
This is Unitary Perception. The observer is included in the observation. In the fragmentary perception of thought, in which most people live all days, the observer is hidden and is trying to control what is happening, breeding conflict. In the fragmentary perception there is the fictitious division between the controller and the controlled, so friction and dispersion of energy. In the fragmentary perception the neurons misfire.
Then we could begin and it would mean we both learn in the process. Without any authority, but like a friend with a friend, moving from a fact to a fact. So if we both look and do not avert our eyes, we see and hear the same at the same time.
Can one not fall in any holes? Say one is disappointed with the circus of business, money-making, career, society, does he have to fall into the pit of organized religion and attach oneself to that?
Obviously no.
But that requires understanding of both, seeing the futility of life spent gathering money (and they leaving it..) and also seeing the falsity of organized religion.
Not to fall in any trap, deny any ideology put together by thought, any hope.
Maybe that's a beginning.
In the fragmentary perception of thought all is divided into fragments: women vs men, blacks vs whites, Christians vs Muslims, protestants vs Catholics, me vs you, Germans vs Brits, Argentinians vs Brazilians, my team vs your team, my company vs your company and so on.
The whole society is divided into sects, tribes and opposing groups And in division there's a root of conflict.
