Our Actions are Nature's Actions
Nature, and the way it is interactive with itself is pulling the strings. Thinking we are separate to that, we believe we are doing, that we deliberate, make or choose the action and course of our life.I suggest there is nothing separate to nature. Therefore, we are not something separate to nature. Our actions are nature's actions.
Every act, every thought, both the tainted and the untainted are expressions of nature. All thinking other than purely mechanical thinking is nature tainted and gone haywire. That thinking is destroying the human species and whatever else it touches.This entire force from which we act, and of which we are the expression eludes you. As it eludes you, too much emphasis is placed on the role or purpose of thinking in your life. This results in you depending on your thinking for that in which it cannot assist you.
We can and need to rely on the senses and the constant blast of information passing through these and the rest of the body for living our lives safely and with understanding. It is when you override these blasts of information that you delude and harm yourself or others.
Even though you are aware of many sensations or feelings within your own flesh, you do not understand the information for living day by day that is in them. So you try and make do with thought alone, constantly overriding this essential information.
Due to this overuse of thinking, you numb yourself further to the physical sensations and what is within them. You are then forced to rely more and more on your thoughts to guide you through life. That is the human tragedy.
Descriptive thinking creates a fake experience running parallel to real life.
To eradicate confusion it is not necessary to think more on it. In fact, the approach of thinking more on a life problem or confusion, adds to it, and keeps it going separately to the raw reality of your life.
There must be living contact with your life. Living contact is not thinking about your life or about what you see, hear, touch or smell. Living contact is the physical contact of your senses and felt sensations.
If you are totally tuned in to this sensory activity, there remains no room for fears about your future survival, or for psychological speculations about you or your life.
Your thinking distracts you from the intensity of your senses. The information you need for living your life requires the sensory apparatus of the body to receive that information as it is, untainted by your thought description of it. Then there are no questions, but rather an immediate experiential understanding, or a direct sense of the raw facts of your existence.
In the natural state knowledge is of little or no importance, apart from the mechanical knowledge like how to drive a car.Your effort to control your life experience has led to the creation of a movement of thought within you, that is secondary to and overlapping the actual movement of life. It is a movement of descriptive thought about life, which is parallel to but isolated from the real experience and movement of life. Thought can never touch life, feel life, live life or, therefore, understand living.
The body is a biological computer, which this parallel activity of thinking 'about life', (which you call 'I' or 'me') cannot fathom or compete with. In fact this thought up self is (in comparison) stupid and inadequate in life. Hence, most people find life a conundrum.
Description separates us from the living experience.
You are a living creature of nature, yet you lead your entire life within the realm/limits of this isolated parallel movement of thought. You thereby cut yourself off from your self-sufficiency and life. This is something very unnatural.
Your natural state is not without thinking. Thinking is a necessary biological function but you are choking the biological function of action and expression. By labeling and reading into every sensation or event, you translate your sense experience in terms of what you think you know or believe, preventing experience as it actually is.
You do this because you want something more from it. The experience itself is all there is, and is all the body needs. But because you want more, want to gain something from absolutely everything you touch, see, hear, smell etc. you translate it in terms of what you do or don't want, according to your past pains or pleasures.
That continual mental chatter of translation is over-riding and destroying your sensitivity to life as it is now, preventing any newness or fullness in your life experience.
The absence of all this you do (trying to understand, trying to squeeze more out of everything) is your natural state.What remains in the absence of all this ongoing translation of life is raw reality, a fully satisfying experience of life, however it is.
