Nothing Left

Enlightenment is the end of history, the end of time and the end of becoming. When you wake up from the dream, the dream is extinguished. In the perfect condition there is nothing left. All karma has been destroyed. Karma and the dream are one and the same. Waking up from the dream means realizing that nothing ever happened. With Enlightenment there is no history. It has been burned out of existence. Time itself has been destroyed. In time there is continuity created by the desire to become. The desire to become creates continuity from one moment to another, from one day to another, from one week to another, from one month to another, from one year to another, and even from one lifetime to another. The desire to become creates achain of cause and effect that leads us forward in lime. The relationship between cause and effect, action and reaction, all arising out of the desire to become, builds up momentum. This momentum started somewhere, someplace along time ago. Imagine this momentum as abeam of light which has been traveling for millennia. This beam of light is 2 2 9 time, is karma, is individuality. Enlightenment occurs when this beam of light meets amirror that appears out of nowhere. When this mirror suddenly appears, the beam of light hits the mirror, is forced to go back on itself and is completely extinguished. The mirror erases its entire history. What does this mean? This means that that which was real suddenly ceases to have ever existed. What was before no longer is. This means that it all, from the very beginning, suddenly never was. In one brief instant, that which had existed literally never happened. This is the destruction of karma, and of time. 2 3 0
