Topic: Just Being
Once all the speculation about what truth is comes down to the fundamentals, one realizes that perhaps there is no Truth and one makes use of the current wisdom that is available. This ultimately leads to the Zen-like attitude of to "just be", in that one embraces what currently moves one forward until the next step or evolution in the path of spiritual progression. What this means is that there is no Truth, with a capital T, but more likely that it's all wrong and utilize viewpoints that help us achieve our desires because its the best we can do.
What I have been wondering is that perhaps we've even gotten that wrong. Just being is a great attitude, because there is no tendency to linger in a frame of mind for way too long. But, in the way that most of us do it, we still make the potential mistake of actually embracing a viewpoint, any viewpoint, which leads us to form a groove as we funnel all knowledge through a narrow point of interpretation until we are forced out of that viewpoint by more energy than should be necessary. Believing in something always constricts us in the long run, as we make whatever happens fit a certain criteria, or we neglect other information that doesn't readily lend itself to supporting our beliefs.
I'm not saying that believing or knowing certain things is harmful. It is helpful, but less effective in attaining the highest level possible. If what you believe allows you to interact with the essential nature of existence because it transforms unformed energies into a more mentally malleable substance, then it is beneficial to yourself, but it may ultimately be a passing interpretation and potentially more harmful than helpful.
Perhaps the correct way to do it is to not embrace any viewpoint and just let whatever is happening to happen. Perhaps the correct way is to let things be what they are without interpretation, so that we do not hinder the process. If we can let go of what we think it is and focus on existing in the now, then perhaps our progress would be more genuine and much less slower as we exhibit tendencies to be more flexible and less confining in our activities and attitudes. Instead, we tend to only focus on what adheres to our desires. Once we stop trying to make things be a certain way, once we give up the need to label or make things conform to our interpretation, perhaps we can start understanding the essential nature of a situation in a manner that goes beyond our current level of being to a level that promotes a higher level of interaction.
So, I don't think "just being" means to believe what you believe because it leads to the next step. I think "just being" means to not interpret your existence beyond which comes naturally through merely existing.
* Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
* People want platitudes, not progress.
