Alan Watts

Okay, now that the “talk” is over, what do I like that I said. Let There BE One….in the context of a wisdom teaching or life, like Alan Watts, is that you dive into a life study such as his until Je Suit Watts! I am Watts…and then you move on to the next light bulb, and you discover that you are able to handle more Watts. With each Teacher, when you become that teaching through the teacher, you increase you ability to handle more watts. (Watts is a metaphor for Awareness).

But again, this is the Transcendent Way that is not learning the wisdom, not putting it in library cards in your mind so you can pull of a quote or reference to support you in your Ego Oneness…No…the One is not. your Ego…but the death of you Ego. When we turn on the Watts of a wisdom teacher, a teacher who lives the teaching, there is going to be a surrender. You can’t read and listen to a Teaching unless you disappear, unless you surrender to just the study, just the listening, just the eating.

When you eat the teaching, it must be like eating an orange. You just eat the orange without comparing it to other oranges, or evaluating its ripeness and quality. No…there is One Taste. There is the One…you and the orange are One in the surrender of eating/ tasting the orange. That is the One.

So this is the rule of Transcendence when you eat a teaching. Just eat it. Just do it. Then, when you are finished, you will find the next teaching to eat. Every teaching will lead you to a light bulb with more Watts.

Let there BE One….God dwells within you as you….Now THATis the One.

It is so odd to me that the actual unity of life and the world is the great heresy. No matter what philosophy or religion we come up with to end the suffering of separate of the disobedience of the commandment Let There Be One, no. matter what clever strategy, we always end up and the edge of the abyss and refuse to leap.

The only way to fulfilling this commandment (Let There BE One) is the act of Faith, this step over the edge of the ledge with no guarantee there is any ground or bridge or bungee rope there.

As I was suggesting here, the Way of Transcendence must be gradual, little steps at a time, maybe in your home or everyday mind where you have reasonable assurance you won’t destroy your life. This is the practice. Like any baby learning to walk, you begin with small steps. But you begin.

Oh,, this was great. I. pulled up my Greek Pissing Boy and just said Piss On It, and laughed. My Zen Sermon was on Jesus and the Greek Pissing Boy. When we feel the suffering of the Cross, when we are just hanging there and can’t get off no matter how hard we struggle. Like tight hanging knot, the cross will not let us go as long as we struggle, and then the wound in our side and the vinegar on our lips, the bleeding and the thirst of being crucified, of being a victim, of being lost with no hope of being found….Oh, the suffering…which BTW the Buddha said life was…So how can I get off this damned Cross?

And then comes the Greed Pissing Boy to the rescue. Just Piss on it, he says with a great laugh. BAM…laughter is my being found, laughter is my resurrection. But the laugher comes from the act of just Pissing on it. But you can’t have one without the other if you want to get off the Cross. You can’t just piss on everything, and you can’t be serious about everything..you have to be pissing serious! You have to be laughingly serious! You have to put the two hands together…and this requires the magical act of keeping and letting go at the same time. Here is the Alchemy of Christ. The magic of the Eucharist. The Joy in Suffering, the Suffering in Joy…the Lost and the Found are One. When the Lost and Found are One, that is heaven. If there is just one thought separating them, that is Hell.

What is the single thought that separates being Found from being Lost? What is the single thought that divides Heaven from Hell? What is the single thought that exiles us from the Garden of Unity, the unity of being Found/Lost. It is the iThought, the thought of ME. The inception of the Me Thought breeds an army of thoughts, each happening in the nail on my cross. I crucify myself with these nails of thought and the divine between Heaven and Hell, unity and separation grows as wide as the cosmos. If I could just find that Me Thought, the original nail, I would be free. But, woe is me, I can’t find that nail…I just can’t nail it.

When a breakthrough is immanent, when it is time for you to come down from your Cross, the Moment will intersect as seemingly disconnected events around you, in your stream of life like suddenly appearing life rafts. When it is time for you to stop drowning, life raft messages of release will pop to the surface. Movies, books, mundane evens, something you notice, all are interconnected to the great awakening of the Soul. The conscious mind governed by the Little Me does not connect the events, does not draw a line between the dots so see what picture they are revealing. But the awakening Soul notices and tags the moment. it is only in awakening, however, that the Soul recalls all those pointers that the Little Me dismissed. In the rear view mirror one can see the clues that the Soul has been following. The Divine Hand is evident when the Soul awakens and see the totality of its life instead of the fragments of the Little Me’s broken reality.
