Loss? Impossible, we're eternal.

Quite a lot has shifted over the past week, don't know if that's been the case for you? Everything has seemed so much on the line in my experience and it continues to be so, though now feeling less intense. I'm in the situation that if things don't change then I'm going to lose everything... again.

That loss of course is mostly just the popping of illusion in the ongoing transformation of life. We might experience loss on the physical side but we never lose our heart, it's what we are.

I've experienced death before through the experience of Ayahuasca, my heart has stopped and I have left the physical dimension only to find myself still aware. The very essence of who we are that has been with us through all of life continues on still after death. I tried to find out what happens on the other side of death but I didn't find out, I was left instead in the space between. The Buddhist call this space the Bardo, the place between lifetimes, relating to their beliefs in re-incarnation.

The physical life outside of us is a mechanism of inner sight projected outwards in the imagination of ourselves. Somewhat depicted here in this image by visionary artist Alex Grey:

That white light in the middle of the head shows were it all comes together, where creation starts and projects from. We are that little light, though at the same time this light is eternally vast. There is no space or time in  experience there. It's pure consciousness, light, God, whatever your belief may be.

So we are in the Metaphysical sense creating all of this life, it's created from us as us. Therefore loss is something of an illusion made real by the misidentification of self. i.e. thinking that we are just this little human body wandering around a world made of physical things. It's hard to understand the truth of it all right enough, you really need to do some hardcore Spiritual practise else down a cup of Ayahuasca to experience it first hand. 

These things of course are not for everyone, but may be an option for those who know there must be more to life than the day to day drudgery of existence. It's all of sincere dedication though not to be considered in any flippant manner. I've seen people go mad, and others who couldn't hack it die. I've known others too who have experienced such insights scare themselves back even tighter into their denials to live again the so called normal life.

I make it sound scary because it is so for the average mind, it was for me but I learned bit by bit to overcome many fears and to trust in a greater good, in the inherent heart within myself. It's eternal, same as yours, and can be understood simply by looking back in life to see that no matter what age we were or what experience we were involved in it's always been the same feeling of ourselves that's been there all along. Hasn't it? And whilst you can never pin down physically where this feeling may be it does in fact never go away.
