Episode 15 - How does a playground appear to be a prison?

Published: Aug. 12, 2019, 4 p.m.

There are thoughts created by frolic, and unexamined thoughts created by failure. The latter shuck n jive us into believing we’re in a prison instead of a playground. To be purposefully in the playground is joy; to be unaware we’ve chosen creates suffering. Even one sentience embracing the playground is reason enough to keep duality as the recreational theatre we chose to participate in. This experience doesn’t have to be considered another universe. We can rejoice in the knowing it remains forever good and bad, right and wrong, positive and negative, selfish and selfless. When perception’s aware it’s duality-based, experience lands in the playground. With this recognition, it stands outside a billion prisons, listening to those inside yammer about getting out. For if it becomes forgotten, it becomes a cell with you in it. When you slide into playground soul amnesia, the experience becomes more and more cage-like. If you have both feet in the grounds, you begin to lose your bearing. Seek to have one foot in and one foot out; that way you know what and where you are. From this vantage the flame of creation is wielded, presence is achieved, and the ego stays tame. In the playground, sandbox mandalas are created. Each appears to dualistic eyes as destroying or modifying the one that came before. The eyes and egos imagine creation and destruction as if they're two separate states (viewed from one wills perspective), when in fact they're actually one. Here, logic and reason are useful duality-only navigation tools… but they’re still limiting. That’s why we emancipate ourselves through the Theatre of Unlearning, and return to the present by refining timeless awareness within Playgroundia. We know most our thoughts aren’t ours, and choose liberation by placing attention on the timeless moments between. This ignites the Twin Inferno State… the coexistence of soul in duality and spirit of singularity – one foot in and one foot out.
