The Hitman

by robert cinque

Is there a distance between an object that you perceive and your awareness of it?

Is there a distance between an image and the screen?

Is the space in which an apple appears different from the space in which the galaxy appears?

The reason these questions are so important and valuable is because it means that if there are not two things, an object and awareness, an image and a screen, then there is only one thing, one Condition, not two. A Condition is not a thing. A Condition is a Realm, a Situation.

If What Exists is not a thing, How can it contain all things? Because it is all things. Awareness and perception are not two things any more than a whirlpool and a river are two things. Perception is a feature of awareness like the whirlpool is a feature of the river.

I hear people say that Awareness is Emptiness, Void, dimensionless, without qualities or features and I agree with that.

What gets left out though is the fact that Awareness Exists, qualities or not, void or not.

This means that what you ARE, What the body, the mind, the Youniverse is, every last thing, every atom exists because Awareness Exists and are seamlessly united with it.

“Objects don’t have existence. Existence has objects”

Rupert Spira

This understanding enables the ability to meet and greet Life without restraint or agenda. With nothing held back. Drowned in the Thrall of a Passionate Embrace. Without the imposition of our expectations and dictates.  It enables the deep passion of the River to emerge unmolested by our Inner Mafia, the Kidnapper of Innocence.

If Consciousness and Objects are seamlessly united, then everything is possible. Everything becomes possible because Consciousness and Imagination are now free from the gun that we hold to its’ head in the form of our self- concept and agenda.  By slathering our puny concepts onto the Radiant Wonder, we hold It hostage in the dark alley with the gun of our unilluminated malware.

Consciousness and Imagination are perfectly willing to go along with our charade and offer no resistance or warnings. What happens is, the Farce of an independent Me gets murdered by the Hitman of the Heart. He cut the brake lines in our Get Away car and we go over the Cliff, bye, bye.

Shattered and in pieces at the bottom of the Canyon, we crawl through the windshield and are shocked to be alive. Tears of gratitude are streaming down our face and we say, Never again will I be a part of the Mafia, the Lie of a separate self, the Sindicate that mugs the Innocent, steals her purse and leaves her for dead in the street.

Far better to be Shot by the Hitman of the Heart who puts a Bullet through the head of our blindness to the Searing Truth  that only Consciousness Exists and you’re It.

Staggering around at the bottom of the Canyon, I notice how Bright things are, how the Light glistens off the Face of the Cliff. My skull is cracked open and every bone in my body is broken, yet I’m walking around Completely Astounded by Everything.

The Doctors sew me back together and when I get out of the hospital, I sit on a park bench staring at the birds and the sky. For years.

Then, I start writing about it, obsessed by it, compelled by it. I’m grateful to the Hitman. He can kill the sense of a separate Me as many times as needed, no problem.

Could the Whirlpool ever exists independently of the River? It’s absurd, even to ask the question is absurd.

Think about that the next time you try to cram your Self into a concept that is too small. All concepts are too small. That’s because you ain’t no concept.

You are the Presence of God, of Infinite Consciousness, alive as an apparent individual, a Whirlpool in a River of Light.

When this is Noticed and Understood, your identity shifts from Egocentric to Theocentric. You don’t stop being an ego, a whirlpool.

You start Noticing and Living as the Mighty River Itself

In addition to writing essays like these, Robert Cinque also builds beautiful, affordable and comfortable yurts for homeowners and businesses in the fabulous Skagit County. Throughout the past three decades, his work has included building and installing wood art at local landmarks like the Cascadian Farm Organic Fruitstand in Rockport (WA), the Birdsview Brewery at the foot at “the American Alps” in the Pacific Northwest’s Skagit Valley, and many others. He has worked with visionary architect and organic designer Sunray Kelley for over 20 years on many beautiful projects. Together, they formed Radiant Homes and are actively engaged in the development of the Living Home, the Bioshelter, the no-mortgage, no-permit, food and energy producing home. Their work has been featured on National Geographic, MTV, Better Homes and Gardens, and represents the Greening of Architecture, a movement they consider to be the most important development since the Industrial Revolution. He says: These essays are about “dungeons of mind, the root of suffering, true sanctuary, and the glorious imperative to live intimately with That Which Is Alive As All Things. They are painful, bloody and hard-hitting (the “truth will set you free, but it will piss you off first”). They are designed to destroy what’s false and cultivate what’s real. They are not merely my opinions or philosophy; they are field reports from the underground where the Lie was deconstructed. They are wrecking balls, cosmic insults to vanity and arrogance, bulldozers and firebombs that burn out the tangled underbrush. They are intended to water the Seeds of Life buried under mountains and centuries of false beliefs, inherited “culture” and ego cults, so-called “religions”, including scientism, masquerading as truth. Idols are routinely lampooned and sacred cows are turned into hamburger as quickly as possible. I really don’t mean to offend any one personally. I’m not after them. I’m after the beliefs that are harming them: the Big Lie, the belief in separation from Love and Truth that strangles the heart and creates terrible, unbearable suffering. I love to help create Sanctuary and Shelter. I am a green builder and enjoy showing others how to build a no-mortgage, no-permit bio-shelters that also provide food and energy. shelter@nwlink.com cell 360-393-5663
