Thus learning is about importance. There is none.
What an outrageous idea, that there is no importance! My beliefs are important, my self is very important, my goals, my concepts, my identifications, my validations. But there is no one who is “my”. My “me” is a thought and thought is a mechanical happening in the brain, it has no correlate in reality. But what will we do if we don’t do? What will we be if its not important? I think that I must have something to magnetize together my fragmented parts. Things would fall apart otherwise. This must be true, since I just thought it. There is so much for me to justify! Just listen.
If we don’t stop (insert your favorite anathema) the planet Earth will not survive. If we don’t start (insert your favorite cause) the planet Earth will not survive. If we (insert your favorite hope) the planet Earth might survive. So what? Where is it written that Planet Earth should survive? All things are flowing from creation to decay, including the planet and the solar system and the galaxy and the universe. It is egocentric nonsense that survival is important. It’s not.
But I, I am important! I must survive, I must continue. The image that I call myself – as though the self were a thing that I could own – is so important that I will create endless suffering to defend it, to perpetuate it. This entity will use the power of thought to create a center called me, I, which it will go to any extreme to preserve. Thought will create the view that life is a thing to which I must cling, and that death is the enemy to be fought off, and that eternal life must be attained. To this utmost importance is attached.
Not only is it not important, its not possible. Surviving is a function of time. Time is a creation of thought. Hotspur saw it – thought’s the slave of life and life, Time’s fool. And Time, which takes survey of all the world, must have a stop.
If nothing is important – and its not – that means that whatever comes to pass, whatever happens, is OK. I might like it, I might not like it, it may be wonderful, it may be horrible, it may be tremendously inconvenient, it may shatter the image of myself – it makes no difference. It all works and happens perfectly. It is all, all, all perfectly OK. God has breathed creation into being, it sparkles, it bursts, it is borne away. God is dancing, and of the dance no trace remains other than the presence.
Can I begin to measure the impact of this? If it is as it is, and it is all working perfectly, there is a tremendous impact on my life. To know this can transform my construct of life. It means that there is nothing, no thing to fear. There is no thing about which I need to generate anxiety. It means that no thing that I must do, no thing which I must become, no place for me to go, nothing to grasp for, nothing to desire, nothing to reject, nothing to think about. Free of all this what are the possibilities?
I could choose to create the dance of life as each moment appears, extend each gesture fully and joyfully, and let it go. I could choose to dance in awe and wonder, and look for no traces to remain. If I were to choose these, I would find total freedom. I might find welling up from within a great outpouring of compassion, of kindness, love. It is all there is, in perfect fullness. It is of no importance.
