The Reference Point is Loose – (1462)

Why?

Who says we have to have a particular reference point? In reality we all have our various particular weird and wonderful reference points, but reference points none the less, and in the end they are not so different they either bring pain or they don’t.

Another important thing to note, and this is the idea behind this post, is that we can really chose any reference point that we like.

So then, if we can choose our reference point the wisest thing to do would be to choose a reference point that does not bring us suffering and helps us to awaken.

I say the above because depending on the reference point we choose; we can have heaven or hell.

That's who we become when we realise we can choose the reference point:
The one who pours the water.

Make a Wise Choice

The wisest thing to do is to of course choose the right reference point.

The way we know we have chosen the right reference point is because the right reference point brings us freedom, balance, peace etc. If the choice of reference point brings pain, constriction, regret, lament, failure, resentment we have got it wrong and the good news is we then know that the right reference point is the opposite. So then we can change it consciously and voluntarily - no problems.

Three different reference points three different statements. Chose yours or
chose none and float it: "it is what it is".

Hypnotic Grip

The problem is that the ego makes us to think that the reference point must be in a particular spot. It does not even allow us to know that there is as reference point. Furthermore, the ego does not like and resists us changing our reference point. But we don't have to think that the reference point is fixed, it is actually loose and moveable. We can choose it and so let’s choose it at will. To be more awakened is to have the capacity to choose.

Don't take the past as a reference point. The ‘moment’ is a better reference point. Don't have closeness, or past closeness as a reference point. Don’t have control as a reference point, that is if I can control the event, something or someone is good or I love that person or thing etc.
