Science...

How many people in science are truly awake or self-realised/enlightened?

“Without leaving my room, I know the world” comes from Chapter 47 of the Tao Te Ching by Laozi: “Without leaving my house, I know the whole universe.”

There are many levels of self-realisation. I am not talking about Saguna Brahman—realisation through the presence of awareness as the qualities of the divine in or as oneself, Sat-Chit-Ananda (Being, Consciousness, Bliss), for example—although this realisation already transforms an individual and radically alters their perception and contribution.

Again, self-realisation is inherent in (the development of) an individual, and although always available as a direct recognition of what one is, some have a laid-out path of self—an incarnational plane or template—where the expression/realisation of which goes unmet. What a wonderful way of being All-That-Is experiencing itself, forgetting its almightiness until death again, and then its more readily or full, untainted remembering. Experiencing itself in that way—not knowing it actually is itself fully—is in fact an expression of its potential/infinity as well.

But to return to the point: Nirguna Brahman, a higher order of self-realisation, the complete disappearance or eradication of man or one's existence, and the complete renewal upon its return with the knowing that that or its absence as well as return, and everything that return encompasses and is - is oneself or All-That-Is. That is a radically different realisation, or deeper altogether. 

And yet still, coming now from my personal view: people in science live their all-important lives, thinking they are so very important. A sage knows everything—the very medium and way of their expressing, the present evolution of their thought or thinking style, where it is heading, and what it is missing, or dismissing. A game. A play.

“A buddha on the street goes by un-seen/recognized.” 

A man seeking a position that does not adhere to the competition and profiling structures that are largely academic goes unmet or unseen. People so focused on representations miss what lies behind them. A potential to radically change and transform the world still unmet, or is used only in small quantities, rather than for what it truly could do.

You/we are the source, tap in, realise, and transform, or rather, have the world reflect correspondingly.
