HÜMÜH:
Transcendental Buddhism
Seven
Revelations of the
Wisdom Master Maticintin
|
The
first revelation is:
Transcendental
refers to the transcended mind, transcended meaning ‘to go beyond’, to
go beyond obstacles. When there is an obstacle in one’s life, on the Path
of Transcendental Wisdom, one looks at the obstacle as an opportunity to
move beyond it. This is the only way that we see an obstacle as an opportunity.
Therefore, there is no final step anywhere; there is always a forward movement,
because when an obstacle is present, we see that obstacle as an opportunity to go
beyond it, not go around it, not hide it, not cover it up, but to go beyond
it.
To go beyond an obstacle, and anything that is in the way of
our spiritual progress is an obstacle, is quite different than going around it.
In other words, going beyond means to actually transcend what is there.
This is the very important aspect of Transcendental Wisdom. This very first
principle, this revelation of going beyond obstacles is a revelation that the
obstacle is not a staid object. It is not a problem that is stuck there; that
nothing can be done about. An obstacle has to be viewed differently than a
situation in which one feels trapped, because it is really an opportunity, which
is why it appears in someone’s life to begin with. Such an obstacle may have
been built through all kinds of negative karma; it is the karma that sets the
block in front of them; however, now the tools are present to go beyond it.
No matter how an obstacle comes about, involving self and
others, there is a way to go beyond it, not around it, not covering it up, not
saying ‘It does not exist’, not trying to destruct the obstacle, but
going beyond it. And this first revelation is dependent upon the second.
The
second revelation is:
The
transcendental mind is human-kind’s great, expansive, elaborative mind. The
expansive mind makes it possible to go beyond obstacles. It is produced by that
invisible, innate part of the self that knows where it is going. There is this
part of one’s self that sometimes falls silent because the obstacle seen is so
great. This part of the self makes one feel it is possible to go on, or that it
is the only thing worthwhile. This quiet little voice inside says, ‘I can
go further’, or ‘I have to go further’, or I have to attain
enlightenment,’ or, ‘I know there is a part of me that is real, and all of
this is not real.’ When that
voice says, ‘I know that a part of me is real, and all of this is not real,’
that person’s higher self is in the driver’s seat.
The part that is in the driver’s seat is the Divine Self; It is that
transcendental part of the individual, the part that has the capability of going
beyond. Now this in Itself is a revelation, and once realized, the touching of
that place, literally, makes it possible to go beyond the obstacle.
If one listens to people who are very committed to their
work, even if the people are characters in a television series such as Startrek:
the Next Generation, or something similar, when those people make a decision
to do something, they do not sit back and worry about whether they are going to
die from what they are to do, or what is going to happen. They have made a
commitment to do that job, and they are out there doing it. Now some of them do
lose their lives, but mostly they do not, because the commitment is so strong,
they are protected by their commitment.
Such a revelation of that part of one’s self provides an
opportunity to live beyond the obstacle, and it does not premeditate how it is
going to do so. The revelation provides an awareness of going towards its goal,
and nothing else is of concern. This is a decision; it is a commitment made by
the awareness within a person, clothed by a body, that controls the images
portrayed in the mind and keeps it moving beyond the obstacle that is in the
path.
The
third revelation
of transcendental mind wisdom
is to live beyond limitations.
While it may seem that we have just talked about this, we are now taking it a
step further. Living beyond limitations means living from the result of where we
want to go. Living ‘as if’, not in a pretend way, but in a
manner that fulfills our next step. In other words, living ‘as If’ actually
picks our foot up, and raises it to place it down again. We go towards what we
want; we do not say to our self, ‘Well, I don’t know if I can do this,
that or the other thing,’ we just simply do it, because we know it
is the direction of our destiny.
We are not talking about personality needs when we are
speaking here. We are speaking about one’s destiny, as the Divine
Consciousness, to realize
one’s self as That; to penetrate the wisdom of God to discover one’s
Self. This comes about through living beyond limitations we have set up or
accepted. Now if this is done in an ego manner, it will not work. The ego will
say, ‘Well, I can live beyond my limitations, I will run my credit cards
up.’ Nonsense. The person will drown in debt, and such dept is karmic debt
as well. What I mean is, to live as if, means to believe in a direction
so strongly, that when the next movement is needed to be taken, it is taken.
The
fourth revelation
involves
the two truths - ‘the conventional truth’ and ‘the ultimate
truth’. The conventional truth says, ‘Everything has a
rationalization to it, a set way of performing,’ of which we do not have
to comply. If we are living the ultimate truth, we will function in the world in
such a capacity that our responsibilities will be met - not by hiding them, not
by covering them up but through living our conviction about what they represent.
In other words, these responsibilities will be met if we are living the ultimate
truth. And there are three ultimate truths - The Void/God is, the Divine Self
is, Life
is.
Life is the result of our dreams, a dream being an image that
passes through the mind that is ignited into livable action. Whatever we
perpetuate through waking dreamtime then is the world in which we live, the life
in which we experience. As such we take control of the life that we experience.
If we play games with another person’s mind, such as throwing anger, or
accepting it from another, we are interacting in a gaming way with the other
person’s mind. Or, if one person challenges another, and then the other
returns the challenge, or if someone injures a person, and so the person injures
them in return, when we play those games, we actually are playing that
conventional truth that says we are justified to reciprocate because, ‘An
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’ When
we do this, we are judging ourselves. This principle is the ultimate truth of
such a conventional truth.
So conventional truth refers to the world that seems so
confusing, the world we have to fit into, that has all the obstacles to
overcome. And the ultimate truth is a ‘driver’s seat’ position
whereby we move through the conventional world unhampered by conventional
limitations. Mostly we maintain equanimity that is keyed into the nature of
spontaneous presence, which is divine action, until decision is upon us. We find
that ultimate stillness inside of ourselves because that ultimate stillness
contains the ultimate truth we seek. It encompasses the Void, it encompasses the
Divine Self, it encompasses life.
All life exists in the stillness,
which is emptiness. Conventional truth therefore, in an ultimate way, is also
controlled by the stillness. If, instead, one tries to control or manipulate
convention, there results chaos and continual conflict. Chaos and conflict
stimulate each other: When there is conflict, there is chaos. When there is
chaos, there is conflict. They operate simultaneously.
We cannot get beyond an obstacle as long as we are in the
conflict and chaos. We have to find that stillness. HÜMÜH, the
spiritual path of the
enlightened mind, brings us to that point of empty stillness, the natural
state that abides as emptiness.
What we call the Divine Consciousness is not an entity. The body ignited
by the Divine Consciousness is the entity. The Divine Consciousness is the nothingness. It is nothing. It
is everything. It is the power energy. It is the Godhead. It is the momentum. It
is all of those things, and it is ineffable. Whenever we experience the
emptiness, we experience the Divine Self aliveness, and when we do that, the power within
us builds in such a manner that wherever we put our attention, the Divine
Consciousness takes charge
to transmute energy and/or adjust situations.
The
fifth revelation of transcendental wisdom is:
the transcendental mind naturally originates from
transcendental wisdom. This fifth revelation occurs through seasoned
understanding, and this is where the wisdom actually comes from. Wisdom
results from seasoned understanding. Seasoned understanding comes
about through the practice of the perfections of generosity, ethics,
patience, effort, and concentration. Please realize that these perfections
are what allow seasoned understanding to give us wisdom. So the transcendental
revelation has to evolve through these perfections, to perfect seasoned
understanding.
We have the conventional understanding of something, and we
have the seasoned understanding. The seasoned understanding of something
comes about when we have experience upon experience over a single issue,
sometimes through many lifetimes, as well as this one.
And so, out of witnessing, testing, and proving the validity
or invalidity to ourselves, we develop wisdom. We now know what the outcome is,
so we have the wisdom to exercise the power of wisdom through our knowingness
into the world. We do not make the same mistakes over and over again anymore;
therefore obstacles have to dissolve -- knowledge and experience come together.
The
sixth revelation of transcendental wisdom is:
meditative absorption into the
emptiness or the nothingness. In other words, we do not just look for
emptiness; we become absorbed with being there. We become absorbed with
being one with the emptiness to the point where thought dissolves. Interestingly
enough, this does not mean we lose contact with life around us, instead, our
awareness is sharpened. We are alert to hear everything; we sense everything, we
see everything within our peripheral senses, and we are alert to energy
movements. All of these perceptions come about without analyzation, because to
analyze such perceptions removes us from the holiness of emptiness.
When someone reaches absorption into the emptiness, they have
reached a place of true spirituality, where the awareness of the transcendental
mind process is alive within the individual. This means a place whereby one can
see, without question, what is required to move through obstacles. This is
because an obstacle is reduced to nothingness, to emptiness. So take the
obstacle into the emptiness, but do not stare at the obstacle; become absorbed
in the emptiness. The emptiness, then, is like a shedding pool, which absorbs an
obstacle when one is put into it.
The
seventh revelation of transcendental wisdom,
or transcendental mind, or
transcendental awareness is: Obstacles to the ultimate wisdom are
cognitive, which is truly the underlying principle of why there
are obstacles to begin with. In other words, when the awareness becomes locked
on the reasons that the obstacles must exist, the individual becomes so assured
that the obstacle exists for a particular reason or reasons, that the obstacle
becomes stuck in place. So one must let go of their habitual perception of
things.
The perception one has of something, the ideas and attitudes
that surround it, are always what holds it in place, and when the obstacle is
taken into the nothingness, into the emptiness, then it becomes nothing. And
one’s outer life will follow suit; the outward obstacles will dissolve. All of
a sudden there is nothing there to stop one from achieving their destiny.
Remember, you are the dreamer of your life through the images
you carry in your mind. You made your life. You can change your life. It means
to move past the obstacles into enlightenment, and the moving past the obstacles
is yielding to the nothing, to the emptiness. Therein exists enlightenment.
Herein is a brief idea of the spiritual
path of the enlightened
mind, the spiritual path of the transcendental mind, which is the same thing, the
path of transcendental wisdom, that lives from the enlightened or
God-Conscious mind. Here is our direction. There is no higher teaching. There
cannot be. It is the Teaching of existence, and the Teaching of abiding in the
existence. It is the Teaching that unites us to the Void. It is the Void or God
Awareness Itself.
