David OReilly on his new game where you make a personal mountain
Since last week, I've acquired an intriguing new edition to my desktop, which lives alongside my work during my primarily computer-focused day. Mountain is a new game, or perhaps it is better described as an ambient companion, for iOS, Mac and PC, and it's been rotating and humming and engaging with me at all hours of the day. Its creator is the prolific animator David OReilly, the mind behind the alien interactive game in HER, and the writer, director, producer and animator of the mind-blowing Adventure Time episode A Glitch is a Glitch.
Now that I have Mountain, instead of checking Facebook 3000 times a day in order to break up the monotonous day with more monotony, my obsession has shifted and I've been continually checking my personal mountain. It's a living, breathing, peaceful kind of Buddhist tamagotchi, which slowly but continually delivers sparkling moments of intrigue and mystery and surprise.
If I don't regularly check up on my mountain, which has been mysteriously generated through my answers to personal, philosophical questions, a serene ping will alert me to one of its fragmented, quizzical and always unique thoughts. I've arranged my screen so that it is always in my periphery, and sometimes in its distant yet weirdly personal universe it will be snowing, or sunny, or a misty night, or there will be a random object lodged into the side of its peak. I don't understand it, and I like that, and it's nice to know that in some way the mountain is personally connected to me, in a time of so many fragmented, random connections. I decided to find out more about Mountain by talking to David, and it turns out that his answers to my questions are just as enigmatic as his new work, and it is almost as if I've conducted an interview with the mountain itself.
What inspired you to make Mountain?
Beckett & Buddhism.
Why mountains?
They are beautiful.
What is the relationship between the personal questions asked at the beginning of the game and the mountain that then gets generated?
This is a secret.
How do the mountains evolve over time?
This is something people will discover. It will be different for everyone who plays it.
You've designed the game so that every generated peak will be different and unique. How did you design it so that no two mountains would ever be alike?
There are multiple layers of influence on each mountain, on shape, colour, flora and many other things – the chances of overlap extend to the billions.
Can you explain a little bit more about the process of designing the game?
It was a back and forth between me and Damien Di Fede – who wrote the code and did all the sound and music work. I sent him a proposal of the idea, with some paintings and 3D sketch of how it might work. Damien wrote some amazing things from scratch, like the terrain generator and a new method of generating ambient occlusion. While he was coding I was creating assets and working on the design of things.
How has this been different from things you've done in the past?
Mountain is a very sincere project. It was made with love. I consider it the best thing I've done.
Do you think that you'll make more interactive work like this in the future?
If I get the opportunity to make something as un-pitchable as Mountain, then absolutely.

Do the palistinians marry little girls?
(Note metaphore in the deuteronomic history book 2 Samual 12: Bathsheba's husband took her in when she was a little lamb, God was displeased when he was killed by Davids commands)
(Deuteronomy 22 28-29, read the hebrew, it talks of young unespoused girl virgins (from infancy to adolecense, if they are raped) being kept by the man)
Do they live in the traditional land of Deuteronomy (Judah)? (southern west bank...)
Do they treat the man as master (ba'al) over the woman?
Do they marry the little raped girl to the rapist? (I don't know. Some muslims do this. Afghans, moroccans supposidly).
Then they are obeying the law of Judah the law of Yhwh
And Isreal is attacking the lower kingdom, as it did in the past before it was destroyed. Isreal follows the God El, not neccessarily Yhwy, and has always lacked the pro-male laws of deuteronomy. It has always been richer aswell.
If so one should side with the palistinians. Not to say they are the "good people", for who says their God (and our God if we worship him) is the "good (woman favoring)" power?
Men having sweet adorable little girls as brides. That something to be grateful for. If they follow the other deuteronomical laws then they are tops, 100 percent, and we should not wish any harm come to them.
Isreal has always been the richer, the more equalist (pro woman) and has worshiped El rather than Yhwh it seems.
Maybe you worship an equalist god like El, or maybe you worship the un-equalist God of Deuteronomy who tried to help men with his Law.
Please verify you're human:

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.
Feb 06, 2012
Facebook is set to begin inserting "featured stories" into users' mobile feeds, reportedly as soon as early March, says paidContent.org. These sponsored stories will essentially be marketing-led posts -- not paid ads, the company claims -- and could mark Facebook's first step in profiting from its 425 million active mobile users.
Facebook's mobile web and app versions have yet to prove comparable to the social network's desktop offering. Moreover, privacy issues and the lack of real estate on a mobile screen have kept Facebook from approaching mobile marketing opportunities more aggressively. According to TechCrunch, part of AOL, Facebook is testing third-party app buttons to its mobile web site, which would appear at the top of the news feed.
Meanwhile, Facebook has continued with check-in deals: When a user is in a location where Facebook can deliver a relevant offer, those deals are pushed to the user. Facebook did not mention revenues garnered from this offering in its S-1, filed last week.

This picture is a stack of 140 exposures, each 90 seconds and spanning nearly 4 hours. The 140 individual photos were then stacked on a pixel-by-pixel basis, keeping the brightest of all of the pixels. This scheme is particularly good at supressing urban skylight. The brighter looping lines are from airplanes arriving & departing BWI airport, about 30 km away. The fainter straight lines are from high altitude aircraft flying on the east coast flyway.

Photos: Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z Film 'Suit and Tie' Music Video
From an undisclosed L.A. set, "Suit & Tie" collaborators Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z were caught smiling and laughing as they shot the music video for JT's new single on Friday, January 25. While filming, the two music superstars looked dashing in their tux with the bow tie undone, with the former NSYNC member holding a white umbrella over the hip-hop superstar as they strode along the rain-drenched pavement.
The released photos come on the heels of the "Suit & Tie" full lyric video yesterday which also announced the March 19 release date of Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience", his new album since his 2006 studio effort, "FutureSex/LoveSounds". The endearing photos share a glimpse of the excellent working relationship that the two artists have that brought about the catchy new track.
There is no word yet as to when the music video will come out but fans can count on JT and his team to finish the much-anticipated clip somewhere within the time frame of the release of "The 20/20 Experience" album. Expectations are definitely up following the release of the 5-minute lyric video, which was so beautifully executed that it's touted to be good enough to be the track's official clip.
Fans can expect more of JT's dapper looks in the forthcoming music video. The excitement over the new clip is also building up since Jay-Z will be in it, unlike in the lyric video where fans only got to listen to his creative rhymes.

Ryan Teeples: Understanding the factors that affect BYU football TV broadcasts
Ryan Teeples
Editor's note: This is part three in a series on BYU's relationship with ESPN. Part one covers benefits BYU and ESPN gain from their contract while part two discusses the nature of the programming and game-day productions. In preparation for this series, Ryan Teeples was an on-site observer of the game-day broadcast process.
Sports fans have it good these days.
As the DVR continues to make advertising less effective on recorded programming, live-action sports is growing in value as a product that holds viewers through commercial breaks. The result is more sports on TV and more lucrative contracts for those who own the product.
This has led to investments in making the sports product even more attractive to viewers. Combine in-game improvements with dramatic advances in HD television image quality, and American spectators have a fantastic landscape for watching sports.
BYU fans, in particular, brought their sports-minded eyeballs to the screen in attractive enough numbers to the point that ESPN signed an exclusive agreement for the rights to the school's home broadcasts.
Since that relationship was consummated in 2010, the nature of the deal and the details involved affect the product the fans see on the ESPN in profound ways.
How does ESPN decide on which network to show BYU home games? Why do ESPN and BYU delay the announcement of channel selection and start time until close to game day?
Determining which games ESPN puts on which of its networks is a complicated process of juggling contractual obligations, time zones, start times, matchups and team popularity, among other things.
It's important to first note that according to the contract with BYU, ESPN networks will air at least five home games per season. At least three of those will be on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. The rest may go on ESPNU.
Additionally, the network can — and frequently does — keep the start time of some games undecided for up to six days before the game. The same goes for the network on which the game will be shown. While ESPN has never imposed a one-week window on BYU, it has often used 12-day windows before releasing broadcast details.
ESPN uses tight, delayed start times so the network has a chance to see how teams perform in prior weeks, as those results — and any subsequent top-25 rankings — impact viewer interest.
"We're managing a slew of contracts with all of our partners, and none are the same," Kurt Dargis, director of programming and acquisitions for ESPN, told the Times-Union. "There are nuances to each of them. Some we can do whatever we want with as far as start times go. Others we have to pre-create them when the season begins with appearance maximums and minimums."
However, ESPN has similar contractual obligations to the conferences whose rights it owns, so it's not as simple as putting the best team or best matchup on the best network. Often it's a balancing act of meeting those obligations while trying to maximize audience.
If the network knows a team has a consistent following and audience, it may relegate it to a lesser network because it knows even without casual viewers, the game will draw a solid rating just from fan interest.
However, it doesn't always turn out nice and clean. This week, Florida at Missouri, a matchup of ranked teams, will be relegated to ESPN3 and SECtv, a regional network, while other less-prominent games are on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU.
How is viewership and exposure affected by the ESPN channel that broadcasts a game?
Many networks like to tout the number of homes in which they are available as the primary metric for exposure, but that number is only one factor among many for what drives viewership of a game.

We had several weeks of rain, so Olivia, the babies and I all jumped in my bed to watch a movie
And then she curled up with daddy for an afternoon nap.
Olivia (ever the performer) made up a show for her and daddy to put on together
And she attended Vacation Bible School this week, which she LOVED. Here she is making shoes for Sole Hope.
Two funny Olivia stories of late: First, the other day Matt asked her to do stop doing something and she didn't listen so he started to discipline her. Before he even got started, she interrupted him, in the saddest, sweetest voice you ever heard "No daddy. Don't say that to me. I'm too little for consequences."
In that same vein, she has taken to interrupting him other times he's "correcting her" by saying "Don't say that. You're just trying to get me in trouble."
This sweet little girl!

How To Get Rid Of Sinus Pressure?
Someone who gets
really wonders how to get rid of sinus pressure. The blocking of
exits causes this pressure and can lead to pain. We have four pairs of
cavities in our skull and these are: maxillary which are located below the eyes, frontal these are located above the eyes, ethmoid they are located between the eyes and sphenoid
es which are located between the eyes. Every

You should tell anybody who asks you how to get rid of
pressure to make his or her nose to run! This is the most important step towards clearing the unnecessary amount of mucus. And unless and until this is not done, there can be no relief. Writing is something that has to be done when one is in the mood to write. So when we got in the mood to write about Sinus Pressure, nothing could stop us from writing!
How to get rid of
pressure becomes clear if one tries to discern the link between the blockages in the
exits as it feels to the patient and the pressure that is felt. The more severe the blockage, the more severe will be the pressure.
The answer to the question of how to get rid of
pressure is very simple to guess if one knows what causes it. If the sinus exits get unclogged and clear then the pressure will go. For this there are some very simple remedies, which are without side effects. The first one is that one should take as much liquid as he needs. Things like hot soups not only not only brings soothing feeling but also provide the body with enough amount of water to keep the nasal passages wet so that mucus gets regularly out through it.

" Jill - Florida
As sinusitis results from some infections, so before asking the question how to get rid of
pressure, one should ask how to get rid of the sinusitis itself. This is because the pressure is the symptom and not the malaise itself. Zinc treatment and nasal irrigation are two recent entrants into the field of sinusitis. Besides these, earlier remedies like steam inhalation and vaporizers are also too important to be not taken note of. Ignorance is bliss, is it? Isn't it better to learn more than not to know about something like
Disease. So we have produced this article so that you can learn more about it!

The challenge is working to extricate ourselves from the reactivity to suffering around us, not to the denial of it, which we're trying to do monstrously, all of us, most of the time.
Even the ones that are open to suffering have so much denial of it, I do, maybe you don't, but I do. I mean, we are living in societies, as you know, that are involved with massive denial, and look at the pain and suffering denial is causing.
Not only to the things that are being decimated, but to the very deniers themselves. Any of you that have had any mystical experience know perfectly well that we are interconnected, and that it's a truth, a reality you have experienced directly. So then to try to live as if that were not true forces you to close down your heart to protect yourself.
You are gonna say, "I want to have fun, so I won't worry about the forests today. I thought about them yesterday, and I'm burning out." I would say that there is another strategy, which is to root into bearing the unbreakable, where it's all present, and all your feelings are present at the same time. Somebody says to me, "Are you happy?" I say "Yeah," and I think of all the beautiful things that I know are going on at this very moment in the universe. Then somebody says "Are you sad?", and I say "Yeah," and I think of all the sad things.
I don't feel that in order to be happy, I have to make believe the sad things don't exist. That keeps you off balance.
There is a way to just be open to what is, but in order to do that it is necessary that all these different places of consciousness, these channels of experience be open at once. It's not just getting high and coming down, it's about being free.
– Ram Dass

Ram Dass talks about the value and limits of psychedelics – when they can enhance the spiritual path and when there can be risks.
From ancient times there has been the idea of an elixir sometimes called Soma and the use of natural herbs to effect spiritual transformation.
The experience that humans have is the ability to see the universe from a different vantage point- now we could experience the deeper part of our beings that lie behind the thinking mind. Our monitoring system gets turned off so we can have a completely fresh view.
When the boundries break down we begin to see the inter-relatedness of everything. We see the way in which it's all connected- the mystery that lies behind the apparent phenomena.
These psychedelics give us an inner validity to our intuitive voice.
Ram Dass talks about the original playbook laid out in the early days on set and setting when taking ethneogens.
"When I broke through, what I saw was the reality I thought was real was only relatively real- not absolutely real. What happened to my mind was a shift in consciousness."
When I walk into a room and I see somebody dying, I sit down and I start to quiet my mind, and I start to move through many planes of consciousness.
As I let my consciousness flow into these other planes and I look at this being before me in silence, just sitting quietly, I can see different karmic story lines. When I'm on the physical-psychological plane and I look at the person I feel all the pain of their lost dream, their fears, their social ostracism. In some cases, that person is busy thinking on the plane of being someone with an illness, dying. If I see that person exclusively that way as well, and say to them, "Don't fear, it's okay," they hear in that a reinforcement of fear.
If instead I begin to play with my mind, I start seeing this person in different ways, and I begin to see another face of the beloved. I enter a space where that person and I are just sharing awareness – all of the perceptual apparatus is dissolved, and all I'm experiencing is presence with the beloved. Now what's interesting is that's all going on inside my head.
In my head is an environment for that person in which they can do what she or he needs to do. It's none of my business to die their death. I have no right to take away somebody's suffering, but I can create a space, where if they would like to come out they're welcome to, because only on one plane are they somebody dying, while on another plane, we are just two beings in a vast universe.
So what I'm doing is making an alliance with that person independent of the storyline.
No longer are we somebody who has come to help somebody dying, and somebody who is dying. If I were busy seeing that person only as somebody dying, no matter what I would say, it would be reinforcing that reality, and that reality is a place of suffering for that person to the extent that they are identified exclusively with it.
So how do you say to someone, including yourself, "Let me help you out of your storyline"?

"Detachment, or nonattachment, can easily be seen in a negative light as indifference, and yet when understood in a certain way is absolutely fundamental to spiritual practice."
Francesca Fremantle is a scholar and translator of Sanskrit and Tibetan works of Hindu and Buddhist tantra, and was a student of Chögyam Trungpa, with whom she worked closely on the 1975 translation of the 'Tibetan Book of the Dead'.
Fremantle received her doctorate from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
"Tantra is described as giving both liberation and enjoyment, and constantly emphasizes the blissful aspect of enlightenment; it is one of the many paradoxes of the spiritual path that the greatest enjoyment comes through detachment. Tantra teaches us to enjoy consciously, to enjoy with awareness, but awareness itself simultaneously causes and is the result of a subtle movement of detachment. This is not an external distancing of oneself from life or from people, but an inner separation from the lower, limited self, with its false perceptions of the external world. Ordinarily we identify completely with this little self, it lives our lives for us, and we experience everything through it, but at the same time it produces a sense of limitation and bondage, of being controlled by our reactions instead of being in charge of them. Whenever we catch sight of this mechanism in operation, and become aware of it as a direct experience, immediately there is a feeling of opening out, a sense of space in which we have room to stand back and see what is really happening. We experience a new and quite different kind of presence, an 'I' who is less personal, less involved, and who can observe calmly the unnecessary problems the little self creates.
When we are happy we usually do not want to hear anything about detachment, because the little self likes being involved in pleasant experiences and thinks it would spoil the fun. Yet flashes of awareness can often occur spontaneously through emotions of happiness, wonder or love. Joy opens the heart and elevates the mind. There is a sudden feeling of expansion; it is no longer just our own personal joy, but it becomes part of the wider awareness of the impersonal presence."
"…The path of Tantra is said to be appropriate for people of strong passions, and it teaches us to experience every kind of emotion fully and completely. Emotions are forms of energy, and we need this energy for our spiritual life, for greater consciousness. Detachment should not be a dilution of energy, but a means of redirecting it to its proper use. If we try to ignore or suppress an emotion, or to make ourselves indifferent, we are actually deadening a part of ourselves and depriving ourselves of a source of energy. But what we often think of as intense emotion is usually really extreme entanglement in emotion. We say we 'lose control', we 'can't help getting angry', 'fall helplessly in love', and so on. But if a flash of awareness comes, we feel a sudden release from that entanglement, and the emotion takes on an abstract quality of pure, neutral energy. Whatever the original impulse may have been, this experience brings a tremendous sense of joy and freedom; it is like dancing in empty space."
– Excerpts from Buddhism Now – December, 1990
The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a best-seller for three decades, is one of the most widely read texts of Tibetan Buddhism. Luminous Emptiness is a detailed guide to this classic work, elucidating its mysterious concepts, terms, and imagery. Fremantle relates the symbolic world of the Tibetan Book of the Dead to the experiences of everyday life, presenting the text not as a scripture for the dying, but as a guide for the living.
For each of us, you've got to be very quiet to hear your unique dharma, your unique way of expression.
Somebody comes along and their major thing in life is to regain the rights of indigenous peoples.
Someone else comes along and their major thing is to awaken people to environmental degradation.
Someone else comes along and their major thing is to clean up the incredible oppression of women.
It isn't a question of which thing is worse, or which is more worthwhile. Each person has to hear what is their part in the whole process of how their compassion expresses itself.
I am doing this gig. This is my part. It's no better than your part, it's just my part. I'm not under some illusion that I have a different part and I honor everybody else's part, I just have to constantly keep listening to hear what my part is anew.
There is no rule book about this.
We are all on the edge of having to listen freshly all the time. When your children are little you hear the Dharma one way, and as they grow you hear it another way, because you listen freshly. The plane at which all the dualities exist is relativity real, and the plane in which they don't exist is relatively real, and that's equally relatively real, so you can milk it any way you want to… We all need a gig.

Passionate involvement without attachment is an interesting thing to aspire to and unless you can develop it, unless enough of us develop it I think we are in for some interesting times as things get darker and more complex. The reality of the way our social structures are changing, the economic disparity between rich and poor, the way we have used resources, all of it can start to be very frightening for those attached to how things were. It's all just happening and the inertia becomes so great until it all starts slowly erupting into something else entirely.
So then, when you are attached to how things are, and they start to not be that way anymore, you get frightened because your identity is so wrapped up in it all.
You find yourself contracting with fear and trying to hold onto what you've got by isolating yourself from others. It starts to feel like a certain kind of paranoia, of "them"-ness, and it also feels like a kind of scapegoating, or blaming outside of yourself because of your own fear. This all often leads to violence and that's the problem – it leads to violence, which creates a lot of suffering.
Under these conditions, what part would you like to play?
I would like to play the part of someone who has worked on my consciousness sufficiently so that if things get tough, in terms of environment, social structures, oppression, minority groups, whatever the thing is – I would like to be able to be in the scene without getting caught in my own reactivity to it, without getting so caught in my own fear that I become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
-Ram Dass
It says in the Tao, "Truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing."
The way I hear this in psychology is: motivation affects perception. When I'm hungry I see what's edible. If I'm horny, I see what's makeable. If I'm tired, I see what's soft, you know, my motivation selects out of the infinity of the universe what it is that fits in with my desires.
Since that's the case, as long as you're identified with your desires, you can't help but manipulate the universe to try to bring about that gratification of your desires. If you carry that to it's ultimate truth, you see that everybody around you is an object to be manipulated to give you that gratification.
So if it says, "Truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing," what does it mean to have an eye unclouded by longing? It's the place in your being, in your awareness which is not totally identified with your desire system.
My sense is that to the extent you are not attached to your desire systems, you are able to hear other human beings and you do less of projecting into them what you need, and the result is that out of your action comes responses which are more compassionate to who they are than your need at the moment.
So this doesn't mean you don't have desires, but rather there is a paradox that's hard to work with, which is this: "What does it mean to be fully involved in life and non-attached?"

Sri Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982) was one of the great Hindu saints of the 20th Century. She was born in present-day Bangladesh. As a person of remarkable piety, sanctity, and wisdom, she came to the notice of both simple people and famous figures of India. She did not have an outer guru, and emphasized the importance of detachment from the world and religious devotion, encouraging her devotees to serve others. An ecstatic child of ecstatic parents, she became a famous saint who like many other female Indian saints stood on the edge of several religious traditions, and in the midst of none. She influenced the spirituality of thousands of people who came to see her throughout her long life, and passed away in 1981.
The central theme of all her words and expressions is this: Life and religion are one. All that you do to maintain your life, your everyday work and play, all your attempts to earn a living, should be done with sincerity, love and devotion, with a firm conviction that true living means virtually perfecting one's spiritual existence in tune with the universe. To bring about this synthesis, religious culture should be made as natural and easy as taking our food and drink when we are hungry and thirsty.
"As you love your own body, so regard everyone as equal to your own body. When the Supreme Experience supervenes, everyone's service is revealed as one's own service. Call it a bird, an insect, an animal or a man, call it by any name you please, one serves one's own Self in every one of them."
"…this body has lived with father, mother, husband, and all. This body has served the husband so you may call it wife. It has prepared dishes for all so you may call it cook. It has done all sorts of scrubbing and menial work, so you may call it a servant. But if you look at the thing from another standpoint you will realize that this body has served God, for when I serve my father, mother, husband, and others, I simply considered them as different manifestations of the Almighty, and served them as such. When I sat down and prepared food, I did so as if it were in a ritual, for the food cooked was, after all, meant for God. Whatever I did, I did in the spirit of the divine service. Hence, I was not quite worldly, though always engaged in household affairs. I had but one ideal, to serve all as God, to do everything for the sake of God."
"…My consciousness has never associated itself with this temporary body. Before I came on this earth Father, I was the same. I grew into womanhood but still I was the same. When the family in which I had been born made arrangements to have this body married, I was the same. And Father, in front of you now, I am the same. Even afterwards, though the dance of creation changed around me in the halls of eternity, I shall be the same." – To Paramahansa Yogananda
"It cannot be that anybody, anywhere is not my very own. I am with you at all times."
Clothed in spotless white… the image of simplicity and gentleness, Anandamayi Ma was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time. Her devotees ranged from prime ministers to renowned saints to humble villagers. Although virtually uneducated, Ma spoke with the authority of direct experience and mesmerised all with her ethereal beauty, sweetness and grace.
A free spirit, she wandered all over the country showering her love and tender care on everyone. Across India, several ashrams, established and dedicated in her name, today serve as sanctuaries for spiritual seekers. Wherever she went, miracles followed in her wake. From suddenly appearing at the bedside of a dying woman… to breathing life into an ant crushed thoughtlessly underfoot, everything was manifested effortlessly and graciously through Ma.
Her samadhi at Kankhal near Haridwar, radiates peace and showers blessings on devotees who come to pay their respects from all over the world. This short biography, written by a "dikshit" – a direct disciple of Ma, seeks to acquaint you with the sacred persona, inspired wisdom and the divine life of Anandamayi Ma. Its highlight is a chapter on new incidents that have come to light and never before been published in any biography of Ma.
If you don't use the part of the mind that is the intuitive heart-mind, if you don't cultivate it and use it, you're just left in a reactive kind of puppetry.
It's only when the mind, the awareness, draws back that you have a sense of the gestalt – you see the whole thing, and then there is nothing in you pushing it away or grabbing at it.
In order to be able to cultivate that level of awareness, you have to finally come to terms with denial, because otherwise the closing of the heart to protect from despair is too much. To that extent you are not able to work with what is, and there is a part of you that is locked in, closed off from the universe, and so you're saying, "I wanna be everything. We are all one except for this or that. But that's too horrible. I can't bear that."
What the game is about is bearing the unbearable.
And here we are. Now what? See where, "I can't bear it" comes from? Like a model of "I'll crack open if my heart breaks." Well, if your heart doesn't break you'll starve to death. That's your choice. To spiritually starve.
I'd rather have my heart break again and again and again, moment by moment by moment, because then I am alive in the situation. I'm getting fed and I'm feeding, and the whole thing comes down to the fact that we are together.
– Ram Dass
Mile High Church, Denver, CO
In the ascent and descent between planes of consciousness, there are two kinds of fears that people often face.
On the way up, there is the fear of dying or surrendering or losing control, giving up what you are familiar with. When you're starting to move into these other planes of consciousness that have a different perspective, the one you were holding onto has to let go before the new one can enter in. That moment of letting go is like when you're climbing, and you have to reach for something but you have to kind of let go of the last thing to reach for the next thing, and there's a moment of tremendous anxiety in that – so is the anxiety of dying into the next plane of awareness.
Now with coming down, with re-entry and coming back and facing what you left behind when you started, there's a certain amount of not wanting to come back into it, because it's not appealing anymore, because you feel trapped by it and a lot of people, after having very high spiritual experiences, even something like a near death experience, they say, "What shit is this, man? I don't want to live here, I want to go back there. I want to get outta here."
There is sometimes a very deep depression for people who go through that, before they realize that the art form is to integrate these planes together, that's the process of awakening.
When you have been in the higher planes of expanded awareness, where you see the lawful nature of all things, you see the beauty of it, and then you have to come back into a limited consciousness, into your own human heart and separateness, you'll still have some of that opening of awareness, and you'll sometimes be overwhelmed by the nature of suffering in the world around you.
You'll see that you cultivated a defensive stance to protect yourself from that suffering – I mean if you're in New York, you're walking over people sleeping on the streets, you turn on the TV and there's immense suffering all the time, and most of us, in order to function on Earth, is use massive denial as a device to keep the suffering under control so we can handle it.
When we use the word "unbearable" to describe suffering what we really mean is "Who I thought I was, the container I thought I was, the somebody I thought I was, can't handle this amount of suffering without breaking apart."
…And there are choices at that moment.
You can go into denial mode, which is "I won't think about that suffering. I'll push it away." And the cost of that is very heavy. See, if you go into a denial mode, what you do is you armor your heart from the world, and when you do that, you are keeping something out that is going to overwhelm you, but you're also keeping something out that you need, which is the nourishment that comes from the emotional interaction with the world around you. You become armored, you become 'professionally warm', you become able to handle the crises moment after moment, the horror of it all, by just going up into your head, closing your heart. So denial has an incredible cost.
