The Picture called the Wheel of Life from a Buddhist perspective reveals a never-ending loop of Birth and Death.
Please feel free to enlarge this and make a copy if you like; there are so many details in this that, if a human decides to look for a way out of the endless loop, then that is the most auspicious endeavor a human can do in this world.
Now, at this next step, one feels it shall not tell the reader how to interrupt the Thangka, as that is the name of the Style of painting, and to observe the painters is amazing. They have classes for 1-7 years, then 8-15 years …
Loving art, or is the art loving you as a feeling arises inside thy heart and the rest of the world seems to stop, similar to authors or science or whatever it is that moves you in your heart. Expansion is to contraction Yin is to Yang you get the idea, life in its duality so the next step may to go beyond this picture and seek singularity, which is a higher space or higher up the mountain, from with-in your own consciousness.
Birth date everyone knows; expiration date nobody knows, so no matter where you are in the life path in this painting, you can choose to step out of it; however, it will require some effort on your part. Self-discipline, along with self-responsibility, is the key to unlock the Temple Door and that door is inside of you not out there in some other place date location etc…
There are locations that vibrate higher, but if you have done the other steps prior to arriving at some of the locations, it would all be meaningless. The contradiction from the prior sentence is required to push the reader to expand and discover how to end a paradox. Make effort without making effort? Please discover what it means to you, and when you solve it, only then will you know what it means to go beyond the comfort zone. It took me over 2 years of inner work to solve it.
Inner work questions all things for a verifiable truth, which in the highest truth you can discover no word will do nor is there a word in which to describe that which you have discovered. If there was a single word the closest one has been able to utter is AWE. So for all of you truth seekers out there, know this the one who starts the journey inward is not the one who finishes it. So much Transformation takes place; even all of your friends become strangers to you, for their life is still where you left them on autopilot.
The volume of the picture spoke to me as if it was how we all live life after life in varying degrees, going up and down in our consciousness. Years back, one decided to deep dive into this path of raising one’s level of consciousness, not knowing what would happen or what pitfalls lay ahead, like climbing a mountain: the first step, then one after another, while reaching up to pull yourself up until you reach a place you have never been.
Now let’s say you have been climbing for a few months and it seems nothing has changed except alot of effort and no fruit from your effort; do not look down and do not look back; keep going. We never know whether our past karma is good or not so good, but what we can know is if we are born human, it is a precious gift, and we shall use it for this process until we no longer have to be born again or reach the summit of the inner work, and you will receive Divine assistance when you least expect it. Divine help is not always showing up in a physical form, although it can and it may depending on your specific case. One has many experiences with divine intervention the first few times was extremly unnerving to be honest about it. Most humans can’t handle it and even if you can handle it your consciousness is so altered that the being who began the path is not the one who finishes it. So take a step forward for divinity, and it will move 10 steps for you; trust me. This has been the most challenging to express in words yet this is thy effort that it may serve some seeker of truth out there in this world. May all be blessed by Grace, as it can be in every face if you go looking for it. Please share if you like the article.
