Your "Source" is No Longer Sustainable

At times, the belief system culminating in your 'self' finds itself grossly despicable and guilty of all sorts of crud. Yet, the 'self' does construct concepts of love, compassion, peace and joy and experiences this as well.

Nevertheless, it's those damn nasty self-constructs, resulting in all manner of nasty experiences, that the self seems unable to extract itself from.

Maybe the problem is its construct of "Source."

The self determines that, in order to free itself from its own nastiness, it will construct a nastiness-free concept of perfection and make that construct its "Source," which it will then adhere to and worship as its ultimate, and only, authority.

"Source" comes under many "sacred" names (which must be capitalized) such as, God, Universal Consciousness, Brahman, Tao, Krishna, Divine Mind, Creator, Yahweh, Great Self, Lord, Pure Consciousness, Pure Awareness, Christ, Allah, Buddha Mind, Oneness, Being, Great Nirvana, Truth, The Unspeakable, Purified Mind, Prime Mover, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Now 'self' can seek to extract itself from it 'self' simply by exemplifying all the concepts and beliefs it attributes to "Source."

Yet, it is important to note that 'self' constructed the concept of "Source" in the first place.

The problem is that this division or split tends to naturally reinforce its opposite in an unending circularity. Instead of becoming like its concept of "Source," self merely becomes more rigidly stuck in it 'self.' This is because 'self' must deny that it constructed its concept of "Source," for "Source" to be legitimate.

This fact alone continually reinforces its concept of itself as weak and powerless and this merely repeats the past incessantly. A weak and powerless 'self' must always rely on something more powerful than itself to save it 'self.'

Yet, the 'self' is its "Source" and realizing this fact alone could radically change everything. But this fact must be avoided at all cost, since responsibility and accountability would fall squarely on it 'self.'

This MUST not be!

In fact, the self will actually die, and even kill, to protect its concept of "Source" and will "crucify" and "persecute" any who deviate from that construct.

So, as can be plainly seen, centuries of "man's inhumanity to man" is directly related to this concept of "Source."

Possibly our "salvation" is entirely contingent on extracting our 'self' from our concept of "Source" and making 'self' the "Source," collectively.

However, it does appear that our usual notions of "Source" are no longer sustainable.
