For the metaphorically illiterate:

This analogy is about realizing the bigger picture, and readily obeying superior mechanisms by means of immediate, swift servitude with the quickly adapting mind of a reality-transforming magician.

The tree is the only thing of value that exists to this mystic, and it is taken away.
Without hesitation, the value is shifted.
The experience of having something precious taken away is instantly turned into a blessing.
The tree is a pretext, no more than a tool for liberation.
All attachment is cast away in order to line up with the outer circumstance.
A new identity is formed, the Self is integrated into the group swiftly and without turbulences.

And from it all, a fruit had sprung.
This is not the time to be holding on to what little merit we have created for ourselves.

Offer it to the greater purpose.

This is how we turn Lead into Gold.

We multiply the fruits of our work by offering them up to the Spiritual Cause.

May all our work, every one of our words, every breath we take, be dedicated to the Enlightenment of all.

Then and only then, every move we make springs from Divine Nature, flows back into Divine Nature, is in accord with Divine Nature.
We naturally become more effective.
We become more powerful.

It is what we should be doing.
We're engaging in Spiritual Warfare after all.

Purify your Self, empty your Self out so the Divine can strike you and fill you with its lightning blaze.

When you manage to fully live in the present moment

Amitabha Pure Lands Vibes this past weekend

Get non-dual,
Enter the void,
Dissolve,
Experience bliss.

Sky = Earth = Ether
All is covered in a thick blanket of quiet. Hyperborean Pure Lands, where the ground is as soft as feathers and the trees are adorned with jewels.

Purity of heart is to will one thing.

— Søren Kierkegaard

Whatever you do, do with deep alertness, then even small things become sacred.

We need SINGLE-MINDEDNESS in order to succeed in life:
Purity of heart, not willing any other thing than ONE.

Let go of distractions, release them from the mindstream so that ONE THING can settle in.

MAKE WAY – THE ONE PURPOSE is like royalty coming to visit, a traveller sent out by the Divine. We need to devote the time to create some extra space (a guest room) in our inner worlds so that the divinely manifested visitor may settle in. We can create the grounds for our visitor to stick around if we honor that space by protecting it and tending to it regularly, keeping it pristine.

That space wherein the ONE PURPOSE can claim residence isn’t
"made".
It’s already there.

We’re only to expel the clutter from our inner temple.

Here's an invitation to do some pre-yule de-cluttering:

- Set up a bright incorporeal light source in your mind's palace to illuminate any dark corners.

- Open the windows and let some fresh air in, and look under the rugs – they might be covering something up from back when you were sweeping the ground without proper dedication.

- Set up walls to keep out what needs to stay out. Find the door. Lock it. Seal windows shut.

- Implement a strong defense of weapons to scare intruders away or destroy them if necessary. Make the place look absolutely terrifying from the outside. (Be ready, intruders will show up.)

- Journalling is a great tool to use in addition to visualisation.

Whichever visual speaks to you and ends up working is fair game. In the end, it's about being left with a clean surface, a blank slate, a fresh canvas, clear waters, an open stage (insert your analogy here) that's both indestructible and devoid of anything other than emptiness.

It doesn't matter how small or big that empty, holy spot ends up being.
What matters is your perception of its existence.

P E R C E P T I O N
D E T E R M I N E S
E X P E R I E N C E .

Perception of emptiness causes experience of emptiness.

Once aware, no action can be performed without that awareness shining through.

All things must be balanced, therefore emptiness cannot be maintained forcefully.

Attracted by the vacuum that emptiness causes, pure energy will traverse the channel of the mind, which thus resembles both the state of voidness and the state of abundance simultaneously.
