In our consciousnesses, often, if ever we even realize, we forget how divinely equal we are in our physicality.
"Scepter and crown Must tumble down
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade"
In our search for an absolute truth, we lose sight of the fact that our path, our discoveries, our consciousnesses may be comprehending the truth in its own unique way. We forget that the Buddha, Jesus, the great Sages of time immemorial, all were but Men. Seemingly realized men with alot to offer humanity, and who from when wisdom is taken, often sweet fruits are borne, but they were just men nonetheless, no greater nor no worse than ourselves, nor than the decaying rodent in the dark night of a harbor.
When one loses sight or finds onesself confused at ones position, ones discoveries, or lack thereof, one can find infinite compassion and peace for the self in the realization of the truth of primal equality, which allows for great trust in the self and its choices, and reveals the subtle truth that the current designated self is being lived the best it can - noone else has or ever can live the self one is currently living, and therefore in the face of all the same inner dialogues and life circumstances since birth, would have made the same choices. All choices, all moments are pure and only and correct in the larger sense of absolving the self. All mistakes may be made over a million lifetimes, nirvana will be achieved ultimately nonetheless. There are no mistakes - ever. Occasionally a choice in the dimension of space might immediately present itself as a mis-choice in effect, but in the realm of personal evolution of the soul, it is always correct. For a mistake made is a lesson learned, a mistake made twice is simply a lesson that needed repetition.
Who you are, what you are, as you read this, is the best and most correct self at this point in your evolution that there ever could be.
Some objects of meditation for discovering and residing in the consciousness of divine equality and infinite compassion for the self are:
- Meditating on the abstract concept of space in our physical universe, realizing the equality of it all in the absence of any one inherent superpower or visible controller or God.
- Meditating on the gift and grace of one's birth, and how the gift gave all living beings the same equal grace - Life.
- Meditating on the impermanence of knowledge, wealth, and liveness of Kings, Paupers, Laymen, animals, plants, all alike
- "Centering" ones consciousness into the immediate physical self and its immediate physical experience. Laying to rest and ignoring thoughts outside of immediate physical presence, literally. If you are in your room, meditate on the fact that YOUR universe is limited to the room around you and the physical masses in it around you, including you, and is all you will ever TRULY know. This centering of consciousness tunes one out of collective conditioning and outside influences of other people, books, great saints of the past.
- Meditating on your choices and your stream of consciousness, and your lack of any control whatsoever on what thought arises (rather than the control over having thoughts or not, having less or more thoughts, which is perfectly possible).
- Meditating on the fact that every given moment, your choices are what you feel are the best for you given your limited experiences of the past. That they might have proved to not play out as expected is a different matter - how could you know?
- Meditating on the helpless nature of the Chaotic, lost ego body that is currently you. Realizing that this ego body is always trying its best to fulfill itself, albeit in possibly very incorrect and counterproductive ways initially in the process of evolution. Upon realizing your complete helplessness in the larger picture of what you do and what occurs around you, endless, bottomless compassion for the self is experienced.
