There is a idea, which exists with
many variations, that is held and believed by many. It is that we
need to learn to transcend the physical plane of existence,
transcend the body, and/or particular experiences of the physical
plane. This belief holds that the body and the physical somehow
degrades the soul and does not allow us to fully participate in
Creation. It does not allow freedom of our spirit and that heaven
can only be had by escaping the physical.
The physical is seen as the source of pain and that to dwell in the
physical one dwells in the middle if not the lower realms of
Creation. Many even suggest that physical existence is close to the
realms hell than it is the realms of heaven. It is belief that we
must somehow learn to leave the physical and enter some other realm.
In the oneness of Creation, in the world of energy and the world of
consciousness, nothing could be father from the truth. All of
Creation is the same “stuff” of Creation. Nothing is any more sacred
or any less sacred than anything else.
Pain is not causes by the physical but our own attachments and
refusal what needs to pass from our lives for new to energy. It
exist in any realm of Creation. Creation and reality are not seen
for the ever changing process that they are and the physical is just
one of an any number of possible experiences.
What is not understood is that there is a need for transcendence.
But transcendence is not about leaving any state of being or level
of existence. It must be understood transcendence is not avoidance
and what is described in the above few paragraphs is actually
avoidance. Transcendence is about outgrowing thing such that we are
no longer contained, limited or captured by them. It the same way a
child outgrows their clothes, we can transcend something by
outgrowing it.
As we expand our awareness and the depth of creative powers and
ability, something just no longer serve who and what we are. It is
much like a game we learn to master. Once the game is master and we
can never lose, some of the fun and enjoyment is lost and we desire
to move onto something a bit more challenging.
To out grow as state of being or realm of existence is to create a
way of being such that the particular state of being or existence
just no longer fits who and what we are. To outgrow what we are
currently experiencing, we must take responsibility for having
created it and recreate ourselves in such a way the we no longer fit
or can be contained by what we desire to transcend.
On this topic it is to be noted that there are some aspects of
physical existence we will not be able to transcend for they are
part of what it means to be in the physical experience. For example,
eating, drinking and breathing are inherent to the physical
experience. Unless we desire to change what it means to be physical,
we will have to participate in these things to some degree.
There are a few individual who are reported to have transcended the
need for one or more of these. Most can slow the processes down
tremendously and significantly reduce their activities if they so
choose. But that is not necessarily the physical experience they
desire to have. Some have incarnated to enjoy the pleasure of
tasting and eating But before we can jump to the conclusion that
they are some how special or they represent a preferred state to be
emulated, we need see what their creative spirit desired to
experience.
Often these individuals are seen as somehow saintly for they have
transcended aspects of the physical. Yet, such a belief is based on
the belief the physical is somehow a less desired aspect of
Creation. It needs to be remembered all arises from the same stuff
of Creation and all is sacred. There are no exceptions. So before we
can judged anything as a preferred state of existence, we need to
look at what we are really saying about Creation and the wisdom of
the Creator.
If we are going to embrace the physical experience and desire to
have the energy to create in the physical world, we will have to
fully embrace eating, drinking and breathing. Before we listen to
some outside guidance, we should look to see if our own bodies say
anything about what we need to eat and drink for the experience we
desire to have.
But if in the end, you still want to transcend the physical, then
you have to learn not to be attached to it. Transcended is not
avoided. Avoidance is not transcendence. The way to do that is to
create
a life worth living. A life worth living is one such that one is
so full of life one could spend eternity living it and not in any
way find the desire to leave it. That, in turn, allow you to be
fully happy with what is, as it is for there is nothing else to
seek. You have it all. You have all the happiness you need. If you
have all the happiness you need, there is nothing else and you are
totally free and unattached. That is transcendence.
