Corona the Guru

March 27, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

The world is your Guru because you are the world and the world is you. This is our primary way of knowing, but it has been subverted by our modern materialistic way of knowing, which is you are not the world and the world is not you. The world is an IT and so are you. This is the Way of Knowing of the Sky People in Avatar. Remember them? Everything is an IT. Nothing is sacred.

But when you are the world and the world is you, then everything is sacred because you are sacred. Corona comes to invite us, force us crying and screaming to make a shift from our Material way of knowing to the Unity way of Knowing. We can see this shift happened everywhere as people rise to a new way of being in the world now that our old way of being is temporarily suspended.

Corona says: Take a break from your outward attachments to the material world and turn within. Stay at home. Now, If you hear the teaching, take the teaching seriously, you will, perhaps, take time in your day to meditate, listen to the wisdom teachings, maybe do some yoga, practice being mindful of your daily household activity. it’s all right there. Your home is the Guru’s House. Your home can become a scared space where you discover your inner resources, your inner joy and creativity, and your inner peace.

Your home becomes a metaphor for your inner being. But it is the practice that creates the conditions for your inner primary Knowing, your inner wellspring of joy and peace to take root in your life. Whey you return to the old external world, it will as though you had cataracts removed. Oh, what an awakening!

The Teaching (or Dharma) becomes actives when. you see the world metaphorically. The forms of the world, appearances, becomes transparent to the Dharma or Unity Knowing (to coin my own word). There is Duality Knowing and there is Unity Knowing. The world we are conditioned to believe always comes in pairs: you versus the world. While this is a valid world view, it is secondary to Unity KNowing. But materialism is a dual world view, a world makes exclusively of things, including you. There is no unity in the way of knowing unless you create unity of things. But still, within that unity, you are separate.
 
The Unity KNowing only comes, it only rises, when we drop the Duality Knowing, either by force or intent, which is our longing for unity.
 
Guru is a metaphor for Unity Knowing. The Guru, true guru, is not a thing but a relationship that destroys Duality Knowing, but not really destroys it, but makes it subservient to Unity Knowing.
 
We can see Unity Knowing rising up in the wake of Corona. We call it compassion. Unity Know is not a feeling or emotion, it is the action of compassion, the action of unity. The mind may perceive duality, but the heart is Unity Knowing, and when the heart acts (the Mother), duality takes a back seat and shuts up.
