Macrobiotic Life

I wonder what could happen if we would be taught to believe the popular esoteric model that we are not our body, but we are Oneness, Everything. I mean, really taught from the birth. Do we need deep meditations, profound esoteric training to realise that we are all connected? Or can it be done simply by switching the ongoing consensus about the reality, about our belief in the connection to the single body? What if you were taught that you are All, your body is just the point of reference to this Everything world. But you are responsible for everything that happens around. There would be no logic in fighting against anyone – you would logically behave peacefully to everyone/everything around, because all is you. There’s no reason to steal, to cause pain, to cheat someone, to make money on someone, to not help someone – all is you. It’s hard to imagine this logic now, because we are preconditioned already, but it’s more possible with everyday training. I am not sure if the meditation is the only process for achieving great results in this matter, or if it’s also possible with pure logic, switching of the thoughts about this Reality. Buddha was saying, that whatever we do, whatever we feel, we shouldn’t take it, that we are the Doer – I understand it as one of the ways how to unconnect from the body-limited-view. There are many other examples in the esoteric texts – they are quite well known. I am simply pondering if the change in consciousness is happening only through the meditation sitting or if the way could be enhanced by the everyday act of changing our thoughts, of the belief system that we are all sharing, the paradigm shift – this shift has nothing to do with meditation, right? It’s done at the logical level of the thinking process.

Anyway, I am not sure what’s the end of the meditation activity at all – but if it would be realisation of the Oneness (or if this is one part of it) – I am beginning to believe, that it could be very much achieved by this rational act of paradigm shift – just start to think about Everything as You, you are responsible for all.

But in the end – maybe the point in meditation is, that you really realise this Truth internally, while logical realization at the level of brain is only a small part of this.

We are part of the reality that is happening out there, part of the whole.
Our disconnection is illusory – I am not sure if it’s because of the dicstinctions made by the eye-sense, that see strict borderline between our body and environment, or if the disconnection started much earlier in the brain decoding mechanism, or somewhere else.
Anyway, we have believed (in the end, the brain is behind any belief) we are disconnected from the Whole.
Let’s imagine again that we are not separated, that we are interconnected with everything and it was never different – let’s back it up with your favorite theory explaining this interconnection, for example the particle theory about each atom having vast space around and when you zoom close enough, you can’t see any borders between your body and your environment – makes quite sense, right?
Now, you are really connected with Everything – you are not your body avatar only – the Avatar is there only as your lens, as the point of reference from which you observe the Oneness.
How do you get informations from the World?
Senses. Is there anything else then them (I think there’s not, but make me correct in the comments)?
Senses are all there is for you, to get the knowledge about the world.
Does it make logic to listen these senses and to obey them, follow them, because they are some higher logic, higher messages from the Whole reality?
Can you make better decisions made by thinking, by brain, by logic?
What is more restrained – decisions based on senses or decisions based on pure logical thinking of the brain?
Can your brain think up anything different than it already knows from the past?
Isn’t the brain only repeating the past models of thinking, past theories, old stories, old worries?
What about senses? Can they lie? Can they manipulate you?
If you feel joy, is there any false in it?
Is there any reason you shouldn’t be really happy when you feel so? Even when everyone else is not so – maybe at the funeral?
Is there any logic in not following your feelings, your inspirations?
Why should you start using your logic to judge if the inspiration is good, if it’s worth of pursuing, if it will bring you enough of this or that, if it’s childish, if it’s embarrassing etc.?
Can you imagine living totally spontaneously – following your inspirations, feelings, senses – following your intuition – the path of Heart?
It takes some time, to re-learn listening to the senses, to switch from brain consciousness to the heart consciousness – it’s a regular learning process – to de-learn the old habit of “using too much logic”.
But finally, you’ll start to become very spontaneous, not restrained by the pure rational thinking repeating the old patterns – each situation is brand new, totally new variables are presented at each moment, and brain cannot understand it at all – only senses can tell you immediately what is happening around and giving you hints how to behave, how to deal with each situation in every moment.
Does it make sense?

It does to me.. but I am aware I am suggesting here extreme switching from the brain to the heart – I am aware about the advantages of the middle paths – no extremes are good. But I am still not sure what to think about this extreme. I think, that this is what Osho and other total-consciousness teachers do propagate – at least this is how I understand their tips for total-spontaneity. But this lifestyle would be really scary, when bravely applied – you would stop planning, stop thinking about consequences, about problems, barriers – you would just do what you feel at each moment, without fear.
Can it be so easy? Or am I compensating my long term tendency to use too much of the brain logic in my life, by clinging to the opposite extreme?
I am not sure, but I am experimenting with it now – living by the inspiration, intuition of each moment.
As many times in my life – I was hugely inspired by Steve Pavlina with this test.

And sorry for all the typos – I don’t feel like I want to repair them – anyway, I write it for myself at the first place (ok, maybe even for the 2 loyal readers).
