The Journey from Material to Spiritual Pleasure
“A single spark of spiritual pleasure contains all possible physical pleasures.”
We exist for material pleasures since this is how we are programmed.
However, this is not a truly human existence, and while we are incessantly chasing these selfish material pleasures according to our original program, we prevent ourselves from sensing and enjoying the truly Human pleasures that are prepared for us.
With our inherently egocentric, selfish, subjective, and individualistic aspirations for securing existence and obtaining pleasures only for ourselves, we lock ourselves into an imaginary, individualistic “single cell” existence.
We are as if cut off and isolated from the fully integrated and single Human living organism we are part of.
We can sense and experience only what is happening to us. Our life revolves around an extremely limited and distorted program based on 100% egocentric “pleasure /pain” calculations.
We experience life through a seemingly meaningless cycle — or cycles — of physical life and death.
This is not the purpose of our Human existence.
Our true perception of reality, our true and objective understanding of life, and our true ability to sense and enjoy pleasures is on a qualitatively higher, collective level of existence.
We have to go through a gradual process where we give up the illusory and misguided perception of individual existence.
We have to become ready to exit, holding onto the illusion of being standalone individual beings like separate single cells that compete and fight against each other and gain their necessities and resources at the expense of others.
We have to learn from nature’s evolution how single-cell organisms “agreed” to form multi-cellular organisms for the clearly obvious evolutionary advantage.
In our case, we have to do this consciously, against our inherent perception of reality and approach to life.
This requires a unique method of specifically organizing and conducting smaller human groups, where like-minded and mutually committed people start making collective efforts for this purpose.
As a result of this exerted and focused collective effort, such a group can gradually form a single living entity or cell, where the participants start sensing a truly collective life experience with a collective consciousness and intellect above and in contrast to their originally individual, subjective and egocentric lives — without oppressing or erasing anything. No human being can achieve this by oneself, and even together, people are unable to achieve this.
However, together, with the help of the purposeful and practical method, they can harness the same natural, evolutionary forces that facilitated and oversaw when single-cell organisms became multi-cellular organisms.
Through this collective existence, where each individual becomes like a healthy cell in a single organism, each existing and acting only for the sake of the others and the whole organism — above and in contrast to their original egocentric, subjective, and individualistic life — they start to clearly and consciously sense life on a qualitatively much higher level: through the mutual built and sustained collective consciousness of this organism. They also acquire a composite collective perception of reality that is not limited or bound by the subjective and limited coordinates of time, space, and motion.
Moreover, as they now have the ability to sense and fulfill all available desires of each and every one of them contributing to this collective existence, they sense and experience pleasures, pain, fulfillment, and happiness on an exponentially larger and deeper scale.
This experience is unfolding on the level of desires and intentions, so it becomes more and more independent of the desires and needs of the pushcart body and its material desires.
This develops to such an extent that after a while, the actual physical existence of the biological body becomes irrelevant. On the other hand, they have to start this process and achieve the “non-material” spiritual perception and collective consciousness while still existing in this work through the biological body as well.
Later, the biological body becomes irrelevant and unnecessary for entering deeper into and exploring the timeless and unbounded spiritual existence.
Since their spiritual perception and sense of enjoyment and fulfillment contain all of their individual experiences together — and the more people join this collective experience, the deeper and truer their feeling becomes, even a “spark” of such spiritual pleasure and experience contains all possible and available physical pleasures and fulfillment.
This is something very practical and realistic through the purposeful and practical method in a properly organized, closed environment.
