Zen, meow and sky

As a ordinary nobody my observation is entertaining a rigid stance implies a deeply rooted mental obsession, whether you preach extreme abstemiousness or passionate indulgence.

These polar opposites function as twin components of a single mechanical apparatus, operating in hidden unison rather than genuine conflict.

​Zen remains completely devoid of ideological frameworks concerning physical communion. Such conceptual stances are entirely unnecessary because the Zen perspective operates in total alignment with natural flow.

Do you invent complex philosophical dogmas about drinking water? Do you construct elaborate intellectual theories around eating meals? Do you harbor rigid psychological hang-ups about drifting into sleep each evening? Absolutely not.

Yet, a vast array of conditioned individuals project strange fixations onto basic human behaviors, declaring that five hours of nocturnal rest is the maximum permissible limit.

They view sleep as a cosmic offense or an unfortunate requirement, advocating for a bare minimum of three hours.

​I once encountered a deeply conditioned soul who claimed to have avoided sleep for an entire decade.

Society elevated this individual to divine status solely for this feat, despite his complete lack of creative expression or artistic drive.

This single peculiar trait was his sole claim to notoriety, yet it was likely nothing more than severe insomnia. Rather than possessing a spiritual gift, his nervous system was simply too fried to experience natural rest, leaving him looking thoroughly deranged. Depriving one's organism of sleep for ten full years inevitably induces psychological disintegration.

Nevertheless, impressionable crowds gathered to revere him, believing he had achieved a monumental cosmic breakthrough. What cosmic truth did he actually uncover? He was merely a deeply dysfunctional, psychologically frayed organism. Experiencing rest is an innate function, yet his state of chronic tension made him simmer with internal unrest.

Consider the sheer agony of a decade without sleep, yet he transformed this neurosis into a highly lucrative social dynamic where thousands bowed before his chronic exhaustion.

​Throughout recorded history, human civilization has repeatedly suffered from this tragic malfunction: societies worshipping non-productive and overtly pathological behaviors. People construct elaborate dogmas around resting patterns, and they construct equally rigid fixations around dietary habits. They endlessly debate what to consume or avoid, meticulously measuring portions rather than tuning into their internal somatic signals. Instead of listening to their organic hunger, they enforce artificial cerebral concepts upon the biological machinery.

Beloved reader, as a ordinary nobody let me tell you my direct realization is, ​Zen bypasses all dogma regarding physical intimacy because it operates from pure, unconditioned simplicity.

Zen reflects the pristine innocence of a young child, asserting that conceptual frameworks are totally redundant.

Do you construct a moral crusade around the act of sneezing, debating whether it constitutes a holy act or a transgression?

You simply experience the bodily reflex. Yet, I once crossed paths with a deeply conditioned individual who feared the physical reflex of a sneeze, immediately chanting protection formulas every time it occurred. She was plugged into a fringe, irrational doctrine that taught that a sneeze literally expels the spirit from the container.

According to this doctrine, failing to instantly invoke divine protection might prevent the soul from re-entering the physical form, sending you straight to eternal damnation if you pass away mid-sneeze.

​Individuals can project arbitrary dogmas onto literally anything, but once you embrace these rigid paradigms, your natural clarity vanishes and those concepts seize control of your consciousness.

Zen refuses to take a side, rejecting both enthusiasm and opposition. Zen proclaims that whatever is simple and ordinary contains intrinsic beauty. Existing as an ordinary entity, a complete non-entity, a state of pure space without external programming or fixed moral armor, represents true liberation.

​Possessing a fixed moral character implies a subtle form of mental rigidity. A rigid persona means your internal state has ossified into a static pattern, reflecting your historical conditioning rather than immediate awareness. When you rely on a fixed character, you reside in a subtle mental prison, shielded by psychological armor that severs your connection to raw freedom.

You carry an invisible cell with you wherever you go. A truly liberated human exists beyond these static definitions.

​What does it mean to exist beyond fixed character definitions? It means living completely free from historical baggage, acting dynamically within the immediate present based on current reality.

Aliberated person moves with spontaneous, uncalculated awareness rather than digging through memory banks for a pre-programmed blueprint. When a situation manifests, a conditioned mind searches its stored files asking what rule to apply, whereas a free mind simply observes the immediate scene and lets the present moment dictate the optimal response.

This is authentic, spontaneous flow rather than a conditioned reflex.

Persimmon Zen offers no rigid belief system about any facet of reality, including physical intimacy, remaining completely silent on the topic, which represents the highest state of consciousness.

​The Tantric path, conversely, approaches physical union with a specific purpose: it serves as a therapeutic countermeasure to historical social engineering.

Tantra acts as a medicinal intervention designed to restore equilibrium where society has inflicted deep psychological damage.

Standard social programming violently represses sexual energy, so Tantra steps in as an antidote to rebalance the organism. When the pendulum has swung too far toward left-wing repression,

Tantra forces a temporary shift toward right-wing total immersion, utilizing extreme counter-weight to bring the system back to center. Observe a tightrope performer navigating a high wire with a balance pole: the moment they tip too far left, they immediately lean right to correct their course.

As a ordinary nobody my observation is, Tantra functions precisely as this corrective mechanism.

​Mainstream social architecture has constructed a deeply repressed, anti-pleasure, anti-joy psychological state because it fears physical union.

Civilization aggressively restricts sexual freedom because an individual experiencing authentic ecstasy cannot be manipulated into a subservient cog. That is the ultimate control game: a truly joyful, ecstatic human being refuses to become a slave.

Only suppressed, miserable populations can be easily controlled and manipulated into cogs for the machine. A joyful person possesses an unshakeable inner independence.

​You can never persuade vibrant, ecstasy-filled individuals to march off into state-sponsored warfare.

Why would anyone immersed in real joy choose self-destruction? But when an individual's natural energy is systematically choked off, they become eager to participate in destruction, having been denied the authentic sweetness of life.

Once a person loses the capacity for creative joy, their blocked energy curdles into hostility and violence. They seek out warfare to discharge their pent-up frustration through destruction, seeking a distorted, violent substitute for organic union.

Piercing another body with a weapon becomes a twisted surrogate for penetrating a lover in deep harmony, replacing a beautiful spiritual merging with ugly, aggressive destruction.

​If humanity were granted complete freedom to experience organic joy, destructive behavior would evaporate from the planet.

Human primates who experience profound, loving union harbor zero desire for violence, nor do they care to participate in the hyper-competitive rat race.

​Consider primitive cultures: they bypass competitive paranoia because they are actively experiencing the richness of existence.

Why stress over acquiring a massive residence or accumulating vast digital wealth? When you are deeply connected with a loving partner and celebrating the cosmic dance of existence, sitting in an office day after day chasing future security seems entirely absurd. Society conditions you to sacrifice your present vitality for a distant retirement plan that rarely materializes, turning you into a lifelong ascetic.

​The corporate establishment operates entirely on this ascetic principle, demanding that individuals trade their immediate vitality for financial tallies. A human being who knows the ecstatic thrill of real love loses all appetite for competitive rat races, remaining perfectly content with basic daily sustenance. This reveals the core insight behind the ancient phrase requesting merely daily bread, a concept that seems illogical to a hyper-accumulative culture focused on expanding bank accounts.

​An ecstatic individual requires nothing beyond basic sustenance because immediate fulfillment satisfies the soul.

Unfulfilled, disconnected beings drive the competitive engine because they believe satisfaction exists everywhere except in the present moment, endlessly striving for political power or social status.

They remain trapped in a perpetual cycle of future-oriented striving, completely missing the present. Conversely, someone anchored in immediate joy feels no urge to chase distant titles, as their needs remain delightfully simple. Authentic biological needs are easily satisfied, whereas artificial ego desires represent a endless, perverted distortion of reality.

​Our entire socio-economic apparatus relies heavily on the systematic suppression of sexual energy. If this vital energy were fully liberated, current economic frameworks would collapse, military industrial complexes would vanish, and traditional political structures would lose their grip on humanity.

Money loses its hypnotic spell over people who are free to experience real love, because currency only becomes a primary obsession when authentic love is blocked. Repression is the foundational pillar keeping the current social matrix intact.

​Every major political philosophy, whether capitalist, communist, or fascist, shares this identical, hidden feature: the systematic regulation and suppression of organic pleasure.

Regimes in every major capital operate on the exact same premise, enforcing strict controls over human vitality to prevent spontaneous, uninhibited joy.

​Tantra emerges to rebalance this systemic distortion by declaring the physical body and its energies to be sacred, serving as a powerful therapeutic intervention.

Zen, however, transcends the need for therapy altogether. Zen represents the state of complete health where both the illness and the cure have dissolved.

Once the organism is restored to vibrant wholeness, you discard the prescription and throw away the medicine bottle. While mainstream society represses natural energy and Tantra offers a powerful corrective remedy, Zen represents the ultimate state of unconditioned wellness that emerges once balance is fully restored, operating beyond all dogmatic attitudes.
