Making the Bird’s-Eye View Your Permanent Standpoint – 3

The Secret to Seeing the Yin and Yang Elements at the Same Time

To make the bird’s-eye view your permanent standpoint, it is important to see the yin and yang elements in your heart at the same time.

Until a few years ago, I was satisfied just finding within myself an obvious leaning (an attachment that had surfaced) toward either yin or yang.

And with that, I felt I understood myself.

But that was a state of “the frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean.”

In every spiritual vibration and every material vibration, where there is a front, there is a back.

Where there is light, there is shadow.

Where there is strength, there is also weakness.

Where there is good, there is evil.

If you express these with the words plus and minus, then within each of those pluses and minuses there is again yin and yang.

In this way, “every material and spiritual element that makes up the universe” is composed.

The creature called the physical human in the Earth realm up to today actually saw only a tiny part of this, and yet merely felt as if it knew.

When you see the plus, turn your consciousness to the minus as well.

If you’ve zoomed in on the yin, widen your view to the yang elements too and look at them together.

It is because both exist that there is balance.

There is no good or evil, right or wrong, in that itself.

The habits of thought up to now, which forgot the truth and never thought of it, were simply mistaking the tip of an elephant’s tail for knowledge of the whole elephant.

That was the very truth of unresolved thoughts.

Knowing this, from now on, when we see a part, we look at the whole that spreads out behind it.

By doing so, the depth of our realizations becomes as different as heaven and earth.

Practice for Acquiring a Consciousness That Surveys Everything Comprehensively

A consciousness that comprehensively surveys both the yin elements and the yang elements as “parts that make up the whole” is the original life consciousness of human beings, in other words, the consciousness of the realm of divinity.

That is precisely the way of using consciousness on the newly born Earth in the spiritual dimension.

People who are practicing now to acquire this way of using consciousness won’t have to panic when the time comes.

There are some people in whom the awakening of consciousness occurs spontaneously, but even when that isn’t the case, it can also happen through practicing surveying the yin and yang, the front and back, of things with the vision of divinity.

The fundamental mindset for that is to make natural the definition of existence that all humanity, including yourself, are beings rooted in divinity, beings who share in the power of the great source of life that creates and runs the great universe.

For that, you need to practice thinking so, tirelessly and steadily.

However, as I always say, your consciousness will also update in that direction if you keep practicing making your breathing relaxed the whole time you are awake.

That is a very important topic, but this time the talk has focused on “making it natural to hold a standpoint of bird’s-eye consciousness in your own heart,” so I will touch on it again another time.
