Fear and the Fictional State of Perdition

OmShantiLove

A desperate desire that one will remain untouched by the winds of the universe is what drives the sails of fear. To be forever untouched by calamity is akin to the search for happiness. It can easily be argued that a false security from our fears is even more sought after than our peace and happiness. Many of us right now are trading our happiness for a sense of false security. In part our societies have been arranged as such in an effort to guarantee our security. 

We are willing to live in a prison chained to the wall while making the greatest effort to extend our arms so that we be holding a knife to each other’s throats if it means that we may feel as though we are safe. To live in a society where there is no trust, and everything must be legislated and sustained by force. To arm ourselves even under the nails of our toes. To bring to fruition the most perverted weapons imaginable so that if our safety is violated both throats will not only be slit but there will be no remnants. So that there will never be a conversation had by other beings as to who got the better of the other. To manipulate and abuse each other in an effort to become eternal. 

 

Many of us have succumbed to a sense of desperation. When we have come to realize that this suffering lies in a poor education which leads us towards a deep disgust of ourselves and others will our societies be removed from such a primitive and self-castrating arrangement. There is a proven solution to this fear of security, and it is to keep the Dhamma in our minds and in our hearts. To abandon the notion of a life untouched by traumas. We are born in trauma, and we will die in trauma but we can remain calm and happy through it all. To overcome the world is to overcome all traumas. Our love for each other and the Dhamma will sustain us from everything that we fear. This wisdom and love is true security.  

 

The one that loves everyone, and everything is able to face the most unfortunate and agonizing of situations. Yes, there will be pain however they cannot be moved in a matter that diminishes them as they are empowered by love. They are not weak and submissive their love is the strength of the universe itself. Though the winds of the universe take a path that seems to threaten their security they know that the only security that can be found in existence and outside of it is inside of themselves and their love for others. Though their bodies, possessions, family, friends, nations perish in the material they know that behind every lover, son, daughter, father, mother, and so on there is but one. It is in that love that one becomes eternal. 

 

Though in this life one may fear imprisonment the one that has acquired a true love for themselves and others knows that the only prison that exists is outside of that love. They know that if they cannot provide for their family in the material that their family will be sustained by this universe. They know that their reputations lie only in their love. They understand that all fears are caused in the absence of love. Though they scream in pain as is the natural reaction of their bodies and instincts their minds are pacified by their love. The perfect hedonist finds this to be true and abandons that title. 

 

Hate is what causes the fictional state of perdition and the fear of it not because it be a physical place in our world but because it is something that we have created for ourselves. Many have understood this fictional perdition as such and this hell has been used to abuse, manipulate, extract, and control by those who understand what great fear lies in it. 

Hatred is a path that is effortless in its beginnings as it is an impulsivity, but to maintain that hatred one must frantically empty the ocean with the cupped palm of one’s hand. What great strength one has when one allows oneself to be vulnerable in love. To not be sullied by the thoughts of those who do not harness that strength, but instead castrate themselves using hatred as they have mistakenly identified it with strength.  

 

Always remember that we share the power of creation and destruction. We can create and destroy our fears. The good news is that the Dhamma is with us and has always been with us and that a state of fictional perdition in this life is impossible unless one wishes to reside in the absence of love for themselves and others. Laws are imperfect creations of mankind that almost always fail to grasp the simplicity that is any action done in pure love away from ignorance and selfishness has but to agree with the universe.

With much love,
