The purpose of life on earth is to achieve union
with our
fundamental, enlightened nature. the task... is to realize and embody
our true being.
Sogyal Rinpoche
It
seems that in this modern industrialized time period. That most have
lost connection with their core being. That inner part of you that
knows the truth when it hears it.
Sogyal
Rinpoche in his book
Tibetan book of living and dying, declares that the chameleon is an
unhappy soul. One who inflicts drama upon others around them. They are
continuously in self conflict and contradict inner
core values.
I quote Rinpoche again -
Our
society promotes cleverness instead of wisdom, and celebrates the most
superficial, harsh, and least useful aspects of our intelligence. We
have become so falsely sophisticated, and neurotic that we take doubt
itself for truth, and the doubt that is nothing more than ego's
desperate attempt to defend itself from wisdom is deified as the goal
and fruit of true knowledge.
I have
noticed, at least in the gay life. The average homosexual has an middle
school mentality. To include all the drama that comes with it. But here
is the sad part of it all. Unlike middle school, these adult high chair
tyrants, have no parental controls. So they go on hurting and being
hurt by others.
One last quote from Rinphoche,
so
ego, then, is the absence of true knowledge of who we really are,
together with its result; a doomed clutching on, at all costs, to a
cobbled together and makeshift image of ourselves, an inevitably
chameleon charlatan self that keeps changing and has to, to keep alive
the fiction of its existence.
 The
one
who prides himself on being a player, has no real true substance. He is
merely a good act. He "outsources" his wisdom, taking in others paths,
and pretending it is his own way of life. The problem with outsourcing
a belief, is that the chameleon doesn't truly grasp the importance of
the vedic he is concluding to be his.
This
flippant individual will
leave many shipwrecked. Pretending to be friends, but full of
deceit. Friends
will be loyal to this player, but the player could care less what his
friends truly are about. These generally speaking live without a code.
They can be recognized as lawless people. Individuals who respect no
one's boundaries. Forever looking for new opportunities.
The
ignorance of a player is
unprecedented. This is the true folly of a fools paradise. During the
day pretending to be honorable and filled with integrity. But always
looking for an opportunity to take and consume someone else fortune.
The wise soul looks upon another to see if they had a teacher. Those
who doubt silver threads, have not had much teaching or instruction. In
the end it is their destruction. These chameleons and players should be
avoided like one avoids fire. Stay back a little bit, the fire will
warm you. Touch it... it burns the flesh right off. Keeping a Chameleon
at arms length can be a warm feeling. Invite such an individual into
your bedroom, you may loose yourself.
