Adam and Eve and the Immortal Dharma

The story of Adam and Eve is the story of Purusha and Prakrti.  Purusha is seduced by Prakrti, and he blames her for it.  Blaming her does nothing good and instead does great harm.  Purusha witnesses the great harm being done in the name of Blaming the Other, Blaming the Experience Itself, making the great excuse of life; it wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't my fault, I'm not to blame, it's not my responsibility, i'm a victim here, there's someone else responsible...

...until purusha witnesses the criminal behavior of dualistic thinking.  As long as Adam really thinks the serpent is outside himself he's delusional, and a hypocrite.  Only when Adam gets totally real with himself and owns phenomenal reality as his own creation does he acknowledge that the serpent is just his own shadow, looking for a great piece of ass to make babies with.  Sexual lust is an entirely forgiveable offense, although it is indeed an offense to God, who would rather we left creation up to Him. The act of lust keeps us in the world of life and death, which is actually fine.  Its judgment and condemnation of the act of lust that represses sexuality and poisons this mortal world, evicting us from the Garden.  In forgiving ourselves of our lust we enter back into the Garden.  This does not mean that we cater to our lust, or indenture ourselves to our lust, but it does mean we forgive ourselves for our lust, and integrate lust back into our lives, dropping the sexual shame.   Lust is the more or less the human condition.  In condemning our sexuality we are evicting ourselves from the Garden.

 So.

The war between the sexes was going badly, as it was wont to do.  Adam needed to create momentum.  He looked for an opportunity.  He'd been blaming her for his sexuality ever since he got religion, and became ashamed of his own shadow, his own mortality, his own impending death.  In his dreams he yearned for unreachable unattainable angelic pure immortality, and in his waking moments he resigned himself to a life of lust and its attendant responsibilities.  This technique of his, blaming her for his sexuality, was actually poor technique, he had to admit to himself.  Might there be a better way?    He thought about the situation; a remedy was obvious.  He forgave himself for his sexuality.  He forgave her for her sexuality.  

So we move from blaming to forgiving, and from this place of forgiveness we discover our innate compassion, and from this place of spontaneous compassion we are moved to act, out of love.  In seeing the great harm being done by witnessing without engaging, creating a vacuum in her which demands to be filled, ascetic Purusha willingly engages with, and successfully seduces, tender beautiful curious loving irresolute Prakrti.

This is the tantric engagement between Siva and Shakti.  Born not of desire but of compassion.  Siva's gift to Sati is Adam's gift to Eve, Purusha's gift to Prakrti.  Siva's gift to Sati is the gift of purusha, the gift of atman, the gift of brahman.  The eternal gives to the ephemeral a glimpse of eternity, but only as much as she can handle, and asks for.  The more she can lean into eternity, the less ephemeral, the more real and substantial Goddess shakti kundalini becomes.  Eternity is what gives ephemeral samsara its very substance.  Without eternity to gaze at in the mirror, the ephemeral cannot find its proper pulse and rhythm and thus falls into chaos.  Gazing into eternity is indeed how the ephemeral finds its proper pulse and rhythm, and in so doing, brings order out of chaos.

  This deepening and making-more-intimate the dance between Substance and the Insubstantial, the choosing of most vulnerable intimacy with the Goddess over the supreme Oneness of God...
...only to find oneself resting upon the supreme Oneness of God within the most intimate embrace of the Goddess...
...this tantric interweaving, this paradoxical balancing of opposites, this Way, this Tao, this Gita of Krishna, this Gospel of Christ - this nameless, worldly, world-forgiving path is the Immortal Dharma.

Tantra gives us an edge in sustainable civilization theory.  It's all of us or none of us, so we need to forgive one another, and heal. 

Bastante Solipsis Marquez was willing to fall in love with life, even though it was a bad idea and a general pain the ass and he knew better.  The more he fell in love with life the more life fell in love with him, and life had its perks.

But even though he was a big fan of life's perks, and was wholeheartedly committed to falling in love with life, Bastante never for a moment forgot that falling in love with life was a pain in the ass, and that he absolutely knew better.  He was just doing it as a favor, out of kindness, as a favor for a dear friend, life itself.  Against his better judgment Bastante Solipsis Marquez was choosing householder life over the ascetic life of a renunciate.  He was doing it because he was horny.  He was doing it because he was tantric.  He was doing it because he was in love.  He was in love with her - with shakti, with samsara.  She was his beloved, and he adored her.  It was a bad idea, falling in love with samsara, but the Mahan Tantric did it again and again and again, because he was stupid and in love, and didn't mind.  He was a light-bringer.  He brought the gift of the light to the darkness.  He was the paradox of good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark.  He was the timeless merging of opposites into wholeness.  He was the Bodhisattva mahavatara, the Mahan Tantric.  The world was his responsibility, for the world existed only as Prakrti, as the decaying detritus of Purusha.  The brightness of Purusha determined the quality of its decaying detritus, known as Prakrti.  The brightness of the world was his responsibility.  He went to work.

He wasn't falling in love because it was a good idea - it wasn't.  He was falling in love out of compassion for ignorant beings trapped in samsara.  And even though he fell in love with samsara, he never lost nirvana.  He fell in love with samsara, and meditated on the Absolute everyday to stay sane.  Even though he fell in love with illusion he never forgot the truth.  He was incarnating, and teaching, out of love.  Of course, his compassion was a form of ignorance, for there was no other, there was only One.  Illusion and Truth need each other to exist.  And so he incarnated again and again out of compassion for an Other that didn't actually exist, but only seemed to.  Ever incarnating, ever revealing truth to illusion, ever remembering the truth, ever forgiving illusion...

The other is always so convinced of its Other-ness that Oneness is compelled to approach it in a friendly, irresistable fashion, as an avatar within the matrix, knowing oneness is all that exists.

This is the story of the reincarnation of Krishna, the mahavatara, the chosen one, Quetzalcoatl.  As long as he is able, he bumbles through life in aimless fashion, an irresistable force, the embodiment of the Logos.  Lord of Yoga, teacher of Dharma, happy go lucky Bastante Solipsis Marquez arrived on the scene to explain the whole mess of duality and consciousness and usher in the Golden Age.  Having conquered his desire to conquer the world, radiating loving-kindness, the crazy wisdom master meandered here and there, healing the world through through his own lazy journey into wholeness.  He  was the last one to realize that his very presence, the purusha of which he is most intimately familiar, is the very conduit through which all healing occurs.  Simply by being present, we heal ourselves and our world.

The mahavatara healed the world by healing himself.  The whole world was himself.  Krishna was the great trickster, pretending the world was separate from himself, knowing the truth.  He was becoming whole, and the whole world was replicating the pattern, fractal hologram that it was.

He stayed hidden.  He used an alias.

He was Bastante Solipsis Marquez.

Rama and Sita

The story of Adam and the serpent is the story of Adam and Adam's shadow.  It is the story of man's discovery of sexual shame, the discovery that lust is the source of birth, death, and the world.  The story of lust is the story of the birth of religion, the birth of cultural sex-shaming for spiritual purposes.  Religion was invented to shame humankind out of following its sexual impulse, purely out of a recognition that sexuality is the mechanism by which samsara perpetuates itself and remains separate from God.  Religion comes from the pure volition to return humankind to the realm of angels by transcending the duality of sexual lust, but this first judgment, this first condemnation of sexuality, is the original sin.  The original sin is not sexuality, for before eating the forbidden fruit of Knowledge both Adam and Eve were innocently naked.  The original sin was, and is, judgment and condemnation of sexuality.  Lucifer gave Adam food of the knowledge of Good and Evil, and this food is Knowledge, which always brings with it pain, for it is Judgment.  It is our discerning awareness which perceives that sexual lust is the primordial mover of life itself, and recognizes that life itself is unsatisfactory, taking place within a matrix of space-time built by nonliving, numerical archons.  Math.

By perceiving lust as the cause of life and life as the cause of suffering, spiritual ascetics renounce the world, and their sex drives.  Within those realms of consciousness higher than biological life, sexual lust is absent.  The realms of the angels are not motivated by lust, but compassion.  Lust is the catalyst that propels angels out of heaven onto Earth.  The fallen angels weren't thrown out of heaven; they jumped out because lust compelled them too.

Angels fell from heaven to indulge in sex with earth women.  It says so in Genesis, and also in the Book of Enoch.  Fallen angels wanted to create in their own image, by breeding.  They wanted to create their own genetic bloodline through lust.  As man discovers this fact, man discovers that higher states of consciousness are available to the mind that are free of lust, states of consciousness that are far more refined and less painful than states of consciousness that are subject to lust.  As an act of self-love, then, men choose these higher states of spiritual consciousness that are untainted by lust, and in so doing ultimately create a society in which sex is regarded as impure and sinful.  Adam's discovery of spiritual brahmacharya is the judgment and condemnation of samsara herself, shakti, Eve, Kundalini, Prakriti...
Brahmacharya is the renunciation of the world.  It is the renunciation of samsara, mama maya.  Brahmacharya is the renunciation of forever-becoming in favor of eternal being.  Choosing truth over illusion, choosing nirvana over samsara, this choice is ultimately the choice of masculine over feminine, which leads to an imbalance between light and dark.  When the choice of brahmacharya is polluted into the mandate of sexual repression, spirituality degrades into religion. And religions tend to condemn sexuality.  Yet it is not the religious condemnation of sexuality but rather, spiritual truth itself that compels us to acknowledge that there is something to ascetic practice.  There is something holy in sexual austerity.  It transcends the world.

Be that as it may, we do not need to punish ourselves for having a sexual nature.  The world loves and needs our attention.  Without our devotion to life itself, the world would end.  Yes, lust does keep us separate from God, which is a tremendous suffering.  Yet we do it in service to God, that God might experience God's own creation, as though God herself/himself was looking into a mirror and seeing all our experiences of God.

All that is, is, and wellness means accepting what is.  God gave us sexual love, and we have no need to condemn it.  We have only the responsibility to not be blindly enslaved by it.   But as for breeding goes, as they say, to err is human, to forgive, divine...

Bastante Solipsis Marquez was the reincarnation of Rama.  After decades of extreme asceticism on both their parts, at long last Sita flew from her Island where she was Queen across the ocean to visit his mountain Kingdom, but she came during his absence, and self-esteem issues promptly caused her to spread her legs for the first guy she came across.  Only after the gravity of the situation settled in did she realize the magnitude of what was really happening.  He was insecure Rama, and She was insecure Sita, and the chaos had overturned order, and the world lacked dharma.

It was shit.  Life was shit.  Samsara was dukkha.  Bastante fired up his hare hare ganja, and grew out his beard and dreadlocks and practiced his yoga and renounced the world.  He was really just Siva, after all.  Pure undifferentiated awareness.  Sat Chit Ananda.  Existence Consciousness Bliss.

 Pure Divine Masculine.  Unattached to the world.  Unattached to lust. And everyone else could suck it.

But compassion crept in, compassion for beings trapped in samsara, and from this compassion was born the desire to be vulnerable, and to sacrifice oneself for the good of others.  From this ignorant compassion is eternally born the Bodhisattva Avatara and his Dakini Army, forever reincarnating into the world to teach the dharma.  The dakinis incarnate as beautiful damaged women who don't know their own worth, and take advantage of the Bodhisattva Avatara and feel bad about it afterwards.  Forgiveness is the mahasiddhi of the Bodhisattva Avatara, the Gospel of Christ, just another incarnation of Vishnu, a form of Vishnu, and pure Vishnu is Pure Divine Masculine. 

Bastante Solipsis Marquez was Siva.  He was Vishnu.  He was.  It was a paradox to be marvelled at.   He was neither one nor the other, he was both one and the other.  This is his nature.  This is the nature of the Mahan Tantrik.  The siddhi of ending conflict and bringing peace is the siddhi of weaving conflicting opposites into paradoxical wholeness, using the paradox of the in-breath and the out-breath as an embodied metaphorical example.  The breath is the fractal hologram experience of paradox, wholeness moving in and out through space-time.  Tuning into the paradoxical nature of the in-breath perpetually turning itself into its own opposite, the mind perceives phenomena as a tantric web of 'what is' forever changing places with 'what is not'.  This awareness of duality's inherently paradoxical nature resolves the paradox by becoming aware of itself.  This is known as the mind becoming aware of itself like water poured into water.  Purusha.  Pure consciousness experiences itself as pure consciousness.  There is no object, there is the experience of mind experiencing mind.  It is the nondual experience.   It is pure empty wakefulness, described as emptiness and light.  Form arises, always pointing directly back at the consciousness perceiving the form. 

Meanwhile, the Dakini Army was absolutely ridiculous, and Sita Sati Shakti Kundalini was their Queen.  She was the most ridiculous of them all.  She was them all.  She was all of it.  She was all of existence.  She was Shakti Prakrti.  She was ridiculous.  She was Siva's lover.  Purusha and Prakrti.  It was a love-hate relationship.  They depended upon each other.  Sometimes they just needed a lot space.

So.

Bastante saw his innate sexuality and his condemnation of his own sexuality and his aspiration for purity, and then he saw her innate sexuality and his condemnation of her sexuality and his aspiration for her purity, and then he forgave himself, and then he forgave her, and poured out his love for her everywhere he saw her, and he saw her everywhere, because She was, and is, all that is, while He was, and is, awareness of all that is.  There's really only one of them, reflecting the other in a mirror.  And that's some fucking straight up tantra talk right there, folks.

And just like that, Bastante Solipsis Marquez knocked it entirely out of the park, and the eternal war between the sexes ended pretty much right at the moment divine consciousness forgave itself for having filthy sexual needs, and she was able to openly admire his purity without depending on it and he was able to openly admire her sexuality without depending on it, and the Healing of the Opposites began, and the world moved noticeably in the direction of peace, prosperity, and wholeness.  Pretty much sums everything up, so far.  But it's really just the beginning...
