Deep Spirit (part 2)

Continued from Deep Spirit (part 1)

Deep Spirit is an awakened intimacy experienced by two or more.

Bodies are not necessary to experience Deep Spirit, although upon encounter, bodies do tend to engage in close proximity, since a desire to be together becomes irresistable.

Sex does not result in, or lead to, the experience, but can be used in expressing Deep Spirit (as can most anything else). Unfortunately, sex that masquerades as "loving" impedes what can be experienced. In fact, Deep Spirit does not require bodies be joined together in any particular 'form.' Nevertheless, bodies that have already come together, conforming to the world’s definition of 'joined,' may have an advantage in experiencing Deep Spirit, simply because they are already engaged on some level. Of course, there are many ‘bodies’ that live together as alienated strangers (and many even claim to be deeply "spiritual"). Therefore, a Deep Spirit experience may not be available until there is the conscious choice to discover it together by identifying and dissolving delusions.

What is discovered will be from what is mutually created. There is no proprietary truth available through linear transmission. Only the truth that waits to be created through a circular engagement loop.

If you think you’ve experienced Deep Spirit, but no one else is joined in that experience with you, then most likely you are mistaken and merely conform to the world's conditions of "love."

Relationship is the conduit for all experience and you will experience what you expect and “expect what you invite.”

There are many ‘forms’ available for relating to one another in the world. Yet, Deep Spirit is NOT concerned with objectified or manifest 'forms,' as dictated through the world’s rituals and expectations. It is not a socially channeled intimacy and comes from a well much deeper than anything an external world has ever considered as available. There is no need for the forms of marriage, friendship, lovers, familial or any other relationship parameters, as dictated by the world. Nevertheless, since most of us conform to varying relationship types, these would certainly be an obvious starting point.

We cannot conceptually define Deep Spirit, however, communication can aid in removing the obstacles that impede the experience. In fact, mutual identification of obstacles is a necessary first step in the process. Until words are no longer necessary, healing is actualized through words.

There is no finite outcome from engaging in Deep Spirit together, only recognition of the process. This is simply because Deep Spirit is infinite and has no boundaries but those created to obstruct it. When it becomes miraculously available, there is no telling how far, or how deep, two or more can go “within” together. But you can only engage in the process with another and, to use an old cliché, “the more, the merrier.”

Fully engaging to correspond with Deep Spirit is our collective enlightenment.

Consciously joining with another to dissolve barriers for the purpose of encountering Deep Spirit, is highly useful. However, you cannot define what that experience will be or predict when it will be attained and doing so merely constructs more barriers and conditions. Your role is merely to stay in the process and give up all ideas and concepts you have determined as defining Deep Spirit. Once you attempt to define the experience, you inadvertently obstruct it.

Initially, there will be a general resistance to engaging with Deep Spirit since it cannot be encountered in solitude or from solitary actions or psychological practices. However, actions and practices enlisted to aid in corresponding with Deep Spirit can be employed, but only with the aim of more deeply engaging "others."

The "I" is eventually annulled for the "we."

We have become very selfish and arrogant in our sharing with others. This has resulted in the discarding of relationships, when the ego self-construct judges that they no longer meet our conceptualized needs. This makes extension, or the sharing of intimacy, utterly impossible due to the conditions we impose. Make no mistake Deep Spirit is intimacy, but deeper than any form of relating defined by the world. In that sense, it can be experienced in the world, but not of it.

Relationship is the ground of awakening, but also cause of the world.

A world in turmoil is a world caused by shallow, surface engagements and thus, loses the ground of awakening entirely. You will only know your ‘self’ through ‘others,’ as both have been mutually constructed, resulting in a subsequent “world” construct which is experienced collectively as separate.

A Deep Spirit experience is not disengaged but wholly and completely immersed in the experience of self and other and, through that experience, the quantum nature of the world changes. Through that immersion, the experience collapses the paradox of the one and the many in realization of the one with, and through, the many.
