Parabol Some Might Grasp This

A short discussion on the existence of a Parabol defining our existence and possibly how it all ties together with our death and rebirth in the system. This is a Taoist talk partially on the difference between dualism and wholeness. Grab a drink and your headphones and sit back and absorb this teaching.

One of my favorite songs is called Parabola,

Or Parabole.

We'll stick with the former first,

The Parabole,

And discuss how we interreact with all of existence in this Parabole.

So let's talk a little bit about the band name Tool.

From my perspective,

They have realized the Daoist philosophy.

The Daoists believe that the Dao is oneness,

And to even make it more simpler to understand,

Wholeness,

Not even one,

Because one sometimes implies there's more than one,

That there's a zero,

A one,

Or a one and a two,

But one meaning wholeness,

Completeness.

And music in itself is basically neutral.

It is one,

It is wholeness.

It's neither good nor bad,

Even though there are implications that can turn and make music a bad thing.

I mean,

There may be times or certain instances in your life where music might be not pleasant to listen to.

And then there's music that has genders that are considered evil,

And then there's music that is gendered out to be considered as good.

So these are divisions,

And these things happen with the mind,

But music itself is neutral.

I mean,

Listen to the sound of the gong.

It's neither good nor evil.

It's just simply a noise,

A sound.

It is a pleasant noise at some times,

But other times it may not be so pleasant.

So this division we create in music,

Whether it's good or bad,

Tool has a way of combining it,

And some of their music has a negative tone to it,

Like Sober,

The song Sober,

Or Anima.

Those songs have a little bit of a negative overtone,

But there's songs such as Parable and Parabola,

These songs are very positive in nature.

I mean,

Singing about the essence of we are eternal and all this pain is an illusion is so incredible.

Just a few short words summarizes the whole of existence as a positive,

Beautiful thing.

So Tool in a way has balanced out almost all of their music in different times of the band's evolution.

They've been around for 20-something years now at least,

And they seem to keep getting better and better.

I mean,

Some of the newer stuff is way different than some of the older stuff.

My hat's taken off to the band Tool because to me they are one of the most open-minded geniuses of this age,

And it shows in their music and it shows in their fans and everything about the band is really good.

Even the offshoots of James Maynard Keenan's such as A Perfect Circle and Pusifer,

Both of those bands are just pure genius.

I mean,

Really,

Really good stuff if you're into that type of music.

And I'm not saying that you should agree with me and believe that this music is the greatest for everybody.

It may take a certain intelligence,

It may take a certain type of being or a certain person with a certain type of upbringing to really become a tool head.

But like I said,

Music itself is neutral.

It is wholeness.

It's neither good nor evil,

Like I said,

But music is like,

Because it has this wholeness to it,

You can take music into your meditation.

I like to listen to an artist named Deuter and specifically Nada Himalaya and Nada Himalaya too.

Two of my favorite things to meditate to.

Each song is about 15 minutes long.

So if you listen to Nada Himalaya first and get into your first 15 minutes of meditation,

It takes you deeper and it lubricates you and it helps you dissolve into existence.

And then by the time Nada Himalaya too comes on,

Then it's very deep.

And by then you'll completely dissolve.

You won't even hear the music anymore.

You'll just completely disappear and the song will be playing around you,

But you will,

In a sense,

You won't be there.

Existence will be there.

Existence kind of swaps off places with you.

And this is called Samadhi,

A level of Samadhi.

Like I said,

Samadhi happens in a deep state of meditation.

And I don't know if you have to be enlightened to experience Samadhi.

I know I did not experience it until years later.

Or maybe I didn't realize that I was going into this state of consciousness,

This state of non-being,

Until years later.

And so maybe enlightenment might be a prerequisite,

But enlightenment itself has to do with the heart chakra,

Which is also the eighth dimension.

And this happening in enlightenment still has a little bit of a duality to it,

Because a person can also be indarkened.

An indarkened person is someone like Adolf Hitler,

And in essence,

Somebody who is very twisted.

You might consider them to be very evil.

A lot of people did definitely consider Adolf Hitler evil.

And this duality still exists within the heart chakra.

But above the heart chakra,

The ninth,

Tenth,

And eleventh dimensions,

I call them,

Are also the three levels of Samadhi.

And to experience and see them,

It's a non-dual existence.

So the top three chakras in your physical essence,

To say,

Is they are all non-dual.

There's no male,

Female.

There's no two.

It's all one.

And this dimension,

The first one you come into,

The throat chakra,

When your third eye opens up,

Which is the tenth dimension,

When your third eye opens up,

You can actually see this dimension that goes on below the third eye.

And then this dimension,

A lot of people have seen the same visuals when they do certain drugs like maybe mushrooms or LSD or DMT or certain powerful hallucinogenic.

You actually get a taste of what this ninth dimension looks like.

I will say that if you do these things through the chemicals,

You'll see these things,

But you won't understand exactly what's going on.

It might be very awe-inspiring,

But basically through the hallucinogenics,

You're basically a guest.

You didn't earn it,

In other words,

You didn't quite get it on your own through meditation and raising your energy up through your different chakras.

But even a guest has a glimpse of this ninth dimension.

And in the ninth dimension,

It has an arc to it,

This parable.

And basically what you'll see a lot of times in this thing is this big pattern,

This geometric pattern,

Of all these what look like little eyeballs.

And they rotate like,

They don't sit still,

They rotate on a parable,

On a plane.

And eyeballs come into the bottom of it,

And then they all combine and become like one big pattern of eyeballs.

But at the top of the pattern,

The eyeballs disappear again and go off and out into something.

And what I proposed was that when you're dying,

Your eyeball is coming back into the parable,

Into the pattern of all the others.

And this is called into the heavens,

You could say.

This heavens is an existence where everything is combined,

Everybody is combined and working together to help and aid those that are on the planet who have gone off the top of the parable and are rotating back into life again.

So there's this reincarnation that's happening through existence,

But it's a rotation pattern.

And it goes,

And it's not super fast and it's not super slow,

But what I'm trying to get across is that I believe that the time pattern that you stay in the parable,

So you take your turn.

And when you pass from this world and you get back in line into the parable,

You spend a number of years back in line.

One I guess it gives you time to forget all the things that went on in this life so that it can prepare you for the next one.

But in the meantime,

Your essence is still alive and is still there.

You don't have a body anymore,

But this eye still exists.

And you don't have ears anymore,

But the eye does still exist.

And it rotates through.

So my guess,

My best educated,

Uneducated,

I don't know,

Guess is that it's probably going to be about 80 to 100 years that you spend your time up in the heavens.

Now what happens to you in the heavens,

I don't know,

And nobody does know.

But what we can tell from these hallucinics or if you've meditated long enough,

Then you can visually see these things as you go into your deeper meditations.

You pass through the parable.

And one day I asked myself,

What is beyond?

Is there anything beyond this parable?

And the answer came to me and it was yes.

My third eye basically opened up and showed me this life in its purest form.

And it's just this energy,

This energy that's in millions and millions of little stars,

Countless number of stars.

And the energy either flows into you or flows out of you.

But the energy is everything.

I think that maybe even a blind person might be able to see this energy through his third eye.

Maybe his two eyes might be blind,

But his third eye might be able to open up and see this energy if they dove into a meditation deep enough and experienced what is past the parable.

And it's really beautiful.

I've come out of the meditations in a very dark room before.

And the energy of the ceiling fan is,

You can see it with your eyes closed.

And the energy that is flowing through the motor of the fan and the speed of the blade spinning spins and the energy is visibly spinning and it takes the pattern of the walls.

It takes the pattern of my little dog that's sitting by me and meditating with me.

It's this energy that you visually can see in what I call the tenth dimension.

Now then I ask myself,

What's beyond that?

Then you're allowed to experience that because that is the crown chakra,

The highest and the deepest that can be obtained in this physical existence that we have.

And I don't basically expect anyone to believe these depths of life without visually experiencing them themselves.

So all of this is awaiting for you beyond enlightenment.

A lot of people say there's nothing beyond enlightenment but there is so much yet to be experienced when you become enlightened.

Enlightenment basically gives you eyes.

It gives you a perspective to see things that other people can't see.

The perspective of maybe a person on the ground looking out on the horizon,

He may be able to see a mile or two off.

But if they were standing on top of their house,

The same person might be able to see five miles off.

And if the same person was on the ground and then there was another person up in an airplane,

He could see a hundred miles off because the perspective is different.

And enlightenment is basically a higher perspective.

It doesn't mean you're better than anybody else.

It doesn't mean you're smarter than anybody else.

It just means your perspective is different.

You can see more.

Also when an enlightened person does a psychedelic or has a psychedelic experience,

They look at it and not really dissect it but basically analyze it and come to try to have a deeper understanding as to what's going on in that dimension.

What goes on in all the dimensions.

And how can we relay that to people that are curious.

We're all curious as to how the whole thing works.

And it doesn't mean that an enlightened person has all the answers.

An enlightened person just has a higher perspective.

And I guess my two cents of input to this is that using music,

Using something that's whole,

Something that's complete to aid your meditation and or help you feel calm and at ease.

If you're ever upset and you're really sad in life,

There's certain music that can just make you feel happy again.

It's wholeness.

The wholeness about music pleases the soul.

So if you get a chance,

Look up the band Tool on YouTube and look up Parabole.

But Parabole's not complete until the second half of the song.

Just like Not a Himalaya,

Not a Himalaya 2 is not complete.

Parabole and Parabola complete one whole song.

And one is more soft and then the other's hard.

Or harder you should say.

But I think that you would really like the way you feel when you listen to these songs.

But anyway,

That's my two cents on the parable and the existence of all of us as we rotate on this curvature,

This almost like spiral that continues throughout existence.

And for all we know that it has always been going on.

That there may have never been a beginning to this spiral.

This curvature and flow through life and then death and living in the heavens and existing to promote life and doing everything it can to help and guide us.

There's only so many things that a spirit can do from heaven.

A lot of it can be influenced through dreams or a lot of it can be helping to give you some sort of intuition or some insight to better your lives.

Or you may come across a Doug Grumman and maybe he will help give you some sort of insight into answers that others may frown upon or say are heresy or something.

But anyway,

I guess we should end it here.

I'm blabbering on now.

Take care of yourselves.

God bless you.

Namaste to all my spiritual friends and aloha,

Mahalo and blue skies to all you beautiful skydivers out there.

Take care of yourselves and be good to yourselves and good to others.

Bye bye.
