I watched a slither of a moon accompanied by a bright star slowly disappeared behind Penang Hill into the darkness. I watched fireworks accompanied by thunderous cracks that shattered all the peacefulness of the environment with blazing colored lights bursting brightly for a second and dies into the same darkness of the night skies. This is the third day of the Chinese New Year after all and Penang is predominantly Chinese and so as to be expected there is festivities in the air still. I was listening to Neville Goddard on my handphone while sitting outside, It was a deep talk on empowerment, "I can do what i will todo," I can do anything, The eleven weaknesses to let go off in order to become master of one's consciousness itself or something like that starting with doubts, separation, comparison, and so forth. I fully understood as I was listening and felt almost absorbed into the teachings but I was still not able to let go of the baggage i still carry. My mind still would wonder off every now and then despite the depth of which I was into the lecture; human mind indeed has a mind of its own. As long as it took for the crescent moon and her companion bright star to disappear behind the hill, my consciousness was held by the darkness of the landscape before me, nothing last forever as light turns to darkness so, darkness turns to light at the break of dawn. Life flows on like a river down to the sea, there is no turning back except by transformation...Change, letting go of the past and adopting the future. Mental transformation, letting go of old and insignificant thoughts and ideas, letting go of stories and outmoded dreams and imaginations. Taking a hold of the genuine state of Supreme Consciousness, Supreme Being, Supreme Soul and living my life from this 'Dharma Position.'
I keep talking to myself of this ,"Dharma Position,' something I read and was impressed with the concept of this Buddhist Principle. It was one of the Sutras of the Buddha's teachings, something I read when i was hibernating at the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, located in the Big Sur off Carmel Valley in Southern California, one winter night. I felt it to be very solid where human expression is concern, like the declaration of I Am That I Am. When I address someone i am presenting myself as a whole, sum total of my entire state of consciousness, this is who I am and this is where i take my stand in addressing you at this moment. I am the Complete and perfect Divine expression manifesting from within my Supreme Consciousness and making my self known as who I truly am. I am not just an ordinary being drifting through this dimension like dust in the wind, I am a reality in itself, I am Eternal and Immeasurable, I was never born nor will I die when this physical form disintegrate and return to its original components. I will journey on into other forms and dimensions as I see fit, transmigration is a part of my nature in order to evolve into my higher nature as I already am manifesting. I am Complete and Perfect, Strong and Powerful, Loving and Compassionate, harmonious and Happy. I can do what i will todo; InshaAllah! This is not something I am repeating after listening to uplifting podcast or some fantastic motivational videos, this comes from the heart as it has always been there ever since I was born. Sometimes I fail to acknowledge or recognize the presence of this my Original Buddha Nature and dare to declare my true Dharma Position whenever I express myself or manifest my imaginations. I am fully aware of who I am in every moment of my existence even if at times I find myself doubting and drifting from my center loosing the Dharma footing ending up making errors and mistakes that demands attention. When this happens I meditate, I listen to the Blues or some Country and Western to remove myself from getting too serious about what i pay attention. This is where NETFLIX and MAX channel comes in handy and not mention YouTube and Facebook. They all play a role in my overall coverage of who I am. What matters is they are all take in a good balance neither too seriously nor too lax; The Middle Way.
