This lowering of our vibrational frequency, accentuated by our current modes of dress, body language, style, cosmetic supplementation, gestures, gait, and posture, which make all of us participants in a visual semiotic orgy of entrainment into the sensual imaginarium, into a flirtationary fall into de-centered superficial personas trapped in the matrix of maya, can only be escaped through a turning inward of attention toward the light source of our Being.
Once consciousness feels the overwhelming blissful power of the Self, it will let go of its hold on the world of the senses. The buddhi, the higher intellect, will vanquish the externalizing impulse and open to the serenity and peace, the healing power of divine love that permeates the world and the bodies of all sentient beings. One will suddenly see the other as an avatar of God, and no longer as a mere object of profane jouissance. The transformation of the vision, the realization of the sacredness of all beings, will empty the mind of its pornographic egoic tendencies toward craving, possessing, and devouring the things of beauty, and bring about a fullness, purna, that brings to an end the entire project of consuming, and begin the project of transmitting love, giving recognition, sharing the transcendent sense of unity in the Supreme Beingness, the noumenal pleroma that is the deepest truth of all and everything.
Purna is a central concept in Eastern thought. Purna has many meanings: wholeness, fullness, completeness, perfection, infinity, Buddhahood, the Supreme Real. By recognizing our purnatva, our spiritual fullness, we will be free of the disease of desire, the pathologies of perversion and fears, the degeneracy of ignoble impulses, worthless words, and debased behavior. By burning away the urge to porn, to criminal vision, to objectifying the other, we rise from the slime to the sublime. This shift in our paradigm from porn to purna is essential if we are going to gain liberation from the grip of the ego and its imprisonment of our consciousness in the tunnel vision of tormented desire. This shift is the heroic act of a true yogi, the core renunciation that impels the kundalini upward into God-consciousness.
Once our whole world shifts from porn to purna, a new culture will have arisen, a new higher level of consciousness, divine consciousness, which will bring about an end not only to lust, sexism, perversion, envy, jealousy, hatred, guilt, and shame, but also an end to the seeking of egoic power and greed of all kinds. A world of love and wisdom will manifest, a world in which Nature will again rejoice in the restoration of its pristine beauty, biodiversity, and unbounded benevolence. This is the future we are poised to create. It requires only a simple shift, from porn to purna.
Namaste,
