Just Starting out

https://rayviolet.blogspot.com/2022/06/just-starting-out.htmlOne could see the process of uncovering or revealing the Self as akin to moulting.
The crab doesn’t find itself. It moults a confining shell.
If we go off in search of the Self, we’re busying the very one we want to “find.”
“I’m searching for the Self.” “Go away. I’m busy.”
In fact, what’s more relevant is that there’s an overburden of vasanas (core issues, early childhood trauma) and archaic behavior patterns (originally born of vasanas but now independent) that sit on top of the Self and hide it.
All of what I’m saying is metaphoric, of course; nothing “sits on top of” the Self. But how otherwise could I speak than with metaphors?
For a decade now I’ve been going through a very public evolution. It’s involved completing my vasanas; dropping my archaic reaction patterns, without putting anything in their place; and then committing myself to the divine qualities and living through a bumpy transition.
This is the phase of Ascension that Buddhists call sila, dharma, or right conduct. Ascension itself they call Buddhahood...+
