TIEN

The Infinite Everything Nothing




























































It dwells in Silence.

It exists Beyond language.

It is beyond Everything.

It is past Nothing.

It is Infinite.

It is TIEN.




























































What is The Way?

It is a Way of Revelation.

TIEN reveals itself more and more and never finishes.

TIEN is Ineffable.

TIEN is Infinite.

TIEN will forever remain a Mystery, even unto Itself.




























































The Conqueror’s Fallacy


There was once a King who ruled over a prosperous Kingdom.

The King built The Kingdom.

The King knew how to manage The Kingdom.

The King knew what went into creating The Kingdom.

The King knew how to continually re-create The Kingdom.


A Conqueror appears.

The Conqueror did not build The Kingdom.

The Conqueror does not know how to manage The Kingdom.

The Conqueror does not know what went into creating The Kingdom.

The Conqueror does not know what is needed to re-create The Kingdom.


Under the Conqueror’s rule The Kingdom immediately begins to decay.

A wise Conqueror eventually realises what is happening and proclaims: ”Not my will, but Thine, be done!”




























































The Conqueror’s Realisation


There is a King who rules over a prosperous Kingdom.

The King built The Kingdom.

The King manages The Kingdom.

The King knows what goes into creating The Kingdom.

The King is ever expanding his Kingdom.


A Conqueror appeared to exist.

A Conqueror appeared to have usurped The Kingdom.

A Conqueror appeared to manage The Kingdom.


The Conqueror never had any sway over The Kingdom: it was only ever an appearance.

The Kingdom was, is, and will ever be under The True King’s rule.

There is Only His will, there is no personal will, personal will is a perceptual illusion.




























































How long is The Way? Infinite.

When will you arrive? Always.


You are home.

Right Now.

Yes.




























































The fact that Fate rules all does not mean that the mechanism of Fate can be disregarded.

The fact that Fate rules all does not mean that X does not still lead to Y, and that A does not still lead to B.

The fact that Fate rules all does not mean that Light is not Light and that Dark is not Dark.


Increase your Intelligence.

Increase your Wisdom.

Increase your Virtue.


Not doing these things still leads to a life of Suffering through Ignorance.




























































”Why is life so hard?”


Hard compared with what exactly?

In case you are not aware of what is going on here: You are undergoing the process of becoming a god.

It is no small matter to become a god.

That is why life is the way it is.


Pain is part of Enlightenment.

Challenges are part of Growth.

Pleasure and Enjoying too.


There is a place for each thing.

Trust in the intelligence of your beingness.

This intelligence is your Guidance System in the Art Of Living.

This intelligence is connected with All of The Kosmos.


This Art is one of infinite refinement, as all arts are.




























































Any philosophy that does not end in The True, The Good, The Beautiful, is a worthless philosophy.

Worthless for the simple reason that it is wrong.

All such philosophies can safely be discarded.

If you are moving away from what is True, Good, Beautiful, know for a fact that you are moving in a wrong direction.


What is True, Good, Beautiful?

Do we really need someone to tell us these things?

We do not.


For unpacking of this essential point Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig is available to you.

It is a High Quality read.




























































Is there Falsehood?

Is there Evil?

Is there Ugliness?

No.


There are only smaller and greater levels of Truth, Goodness, Beauty. Of Quality.

Falsehood, Evil, Ugliness are small truths of a dualistic mind.


Wisdom sees survival and desire strategies that simply are as they are and have whichever Quality that they do.




























































Are you going somewhere?

Are you moving towards a goal?

Yes.


Will you ever stop going somewhere?

Will you ever stop moving towards a goal?

No.


Are you going somewhere?

Are you moving towards a goal?

No.


Will you ever stop going somewhere?

Will you ever stop moving towards a goal?

I have ever stood still, at the very centre of all creation.


These are the realms of The Relative and The Absolute.

They are both real. They are both Eternal.


The Witness and The Mastery.

The Waking and The Maturing.

The Void and The Manifestation.

The Inner Sky and The Outer Play.




























































How is the Ineffable Way taught?

How is the Unutterable uttered?


I do not know about you, but I lean down to eye-level and say whatever comes to my mind.


How is the Ineffable Way learned?

How is the Unutterable understood?


I do not know about you, but I open myself in wonder, receptivity and gratitude.


The Journey is something very real!




























































Practical frameworks. They better be practical. They better be doing something, otherwise they are just a waste of space, and time.

Concepts can only ever get it approximately right, and they are never what feels the magic.

With that said, conceptual frameworks are needed, in space, and time.

For some excellent input towards constructing your frameworks read The Integral Vision by Ken Wilber.

Likely it is much more impressive than you imagine.




























































Man is buried in the mud at the bottom of The Ocean, longing for the Sun.

Man is a Lotus Flower.


Woman is water with all its sediments in a chaotic stir, longing for Peaceful Clarity.

Woman is The Ocean.


Man is Woman.

Woman is Man.

Man and Woman are Both.


Children and Animals have something that human adult has lost: a profound connection with TIEN.

It is thinking that has become a hall of smoke and mirrors for the adult.

The Way is not to regress below the mind.

The Way is to go beyond the mind.


When the mind is transcended an additional grace is added.

When the mind is transcended all its skills are retained, and find their appropriate places.

When the mind is transcended a resiliance that has been crafted maintains it.


We are ever drawn to Higher and Higher levels of Quality. Of Truth, Goodness, Beauty.

This is the Energy Of Evolution. Eros, if you will.

There is no end to this, and thus no end to our Journey. As can be witnessed in the size of The Universe.


The Way is not one of willpower.

The Way is one of Allowing. Allowing The Energy Of The Universe In You to have its natural unfolding.

This has been called Effortless Effort, Actionless Action, Doing Not-Doing. It has been called Wu Wei.

This is truly The Way.

Think not of yourself as a building being constructed, think of yourself as a tree that grows: that is the closer approximation.




























































The Very Weak in the world are exploited and abused by The Weak.

The Weak in the world are hated and despised by The Very Weak.


The Strong in the world empathise with both The Weak and Very Weak, and support them in becoming stronger.


Those who side with The Very Weak against The Weak are themselves, at least partially, still Very Weak.

Those who side with The Weak against The Very Weak are themselves, at least partially, still Weak.


The Strong focus on The Way.




























































Size is relative to that which it is compared with.

Knowledge is measured against what there is to know.


The Weak see themselves as Big and Informed.

The Strong see themselves as Small and Ignorant.


The Weak hate the fact that they do not know more.

The Strong are grateful for what they know.


The Weak are prideful and secretively ashamed, or ashamed and secretively prideful.

The Strong have found honour through their commitment to The Path.




























































Seriousness is a disease.

Unseriousness is folly.

Balance.

Remember that you will never arrive.

Remember that you do not want to remain where you are forever.

Inquire into your tensions and that will show you where the balance can be found.


Are you hurrying instead of steadily progressing?

Are you decaying rather than relaxing?


Disregard your programming and what you imagine others might think.

Find the Unique Truth of Your Way Of Living.


Despair not if pain is unavoidable. Sometimes it simply is.

Do not to let your thinking mind make things worse than they already are, unnecessarily.

The emotional realm is not entirely unlike weather: sometimes it is simply rainy or stormy, or sunny.

All things eventually pass.

This you can trust in.

And your Peaceful Centre is always with you. Discover it if you do not know of it.




























































What is a problem?

How is a problem created?


How would you relate to and move with the situation if you did not tense up in response?


The Watercourse Way is where you remain fluid, remain Formless. This is The Way Of Wisdom.

What you reject rejects you.

What you resist persists.

Befriend the aspect of life that you are encountering. Healthy boundaries are a part of friendship.

Do you wish to have a healthy relationship with all aspects of life? Or only with a handful?


Try not to get caught anywhere for too long, try not to get caught in anything too much.

Flow on.

Be water.




























































It does not work to rely on concepts when approaching the mysteries of Life.

It does not work to keep the journey at arms length, like some object to be analyzed.

Do that and you really never began.


One need to in a heartfelt manner venture with All of one’s Being.

One need prioritise this Journey Highly!

Do this and The Mysteries will reveal themselves to you, by and by.

You always know enough for your next step. Life is not cruel.

If you do not know the next step, then the next step is to wait.

If fear is what paralyzes you, then gather your Courage and proceed.

If you demand to know more than you need to, you are likely to be disappointed.

What matters is taking the next step forward.

Nobody can shield anybody from all missteps and mistakes. Actually, they very much ARE the journey.

Through knowing what not to do, we begin to suspect what the path forward is.


Take responsibility for where you are at and what you do. You are responsible. Who else would be?

If you blame your parents they can blame theirs, and they theirs, ad infinitum.

If you blame society then society blames what came before it, what is around it, or what it has to work with.


It is up to you if you want to find excuses or your Inner Strength to Overcome.

You together with TIEN are All-Powerful when it comes to what happens with your Soul.

Outer material circumstances are irrelevant if your Being chooses The Light.


Inspiring poetry can be found in The Book Of Mirdad by Mikael Naimy.


Take the reins of your own life, otherwise chance or someone else will be holding them. Seemingly, that is.


Whatever can be Witnessed can be acted upon by that which witnesses it.

Awareness, Absolute Subjectivity, is the Ultimate Transcendent. It sets things in right merely by Seeing.




























































The first step in making positive change is to understand the state of things.

In spite of this, few are the people who sincerely appreciate truth.

It has even been said that no one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.


If someone’s true priority are their base urges, then they rather not look in the mirror.

If you tell people like this about truth, do not expect applause.

The status quo has a life of its own. It can get furious.

Let people who are sleeping soundly be. Help those who, by glimpsing God, have realised they are in a nightmare.


There is a greater Truth of what you are to be discovered.

Who are you imagining yourself to be? Who do you think you are?


Freedom, Moksha, as it is written about in the Vedic texts, is not a freedom of the nāma-rūpa: it is freedom from it.

Freedom arrives through the disassembly of the self-concept so the actual essence can move freely.

Nāma-rūpa will still be there. A body will still exist. Thoughts will still arise. Emotions will still happen.

The difference will be that you know yourself. That you are Awareness. There will be Jñāna.

The realisation of The Source makes all in your character an object: you then rule it rather than it rule you.

You will be the Master rather than a slave. You rule Everything rather than Everything rule you.

The King of The Inner Kingdom awakens.

The battle royale between phantoms stops. Peace is restored. The King is back.


The King is not the small self-concept.


The King is TIEN.


TIEN is You.


You are TIEN.


We are TIEN.


TIEN is.


Hari Om Tat Sat.


























































It does not matter who it is that says something.

What matters is if it is useful or not.

What matters is if something helps you with your next step or not.

This is the scientific and religious approaches synthesised.

Scientific because if something is a close approximation of Tathatā, it is more likely to function.

Religious because if something is not aimed towards Truth, Goodness, Beauty, it is missing the mark.

These are the ingredients for something being useful.


We are a single being unfolding.

We are a single fateful Masterpiece.

In helping others you help yourself. In helping yourself you help others.

You help most powerfully by finding Your Way of walking The Way. By being Free.

Be the being you want others to be.

Live a Wisdom worth living. Trust what flows from that.

Do not force things. Fire cannot be extinguished with fire.

Live a Wisdom worth living.
