Universal vs Non-universal

What is essential or inevitable for all and everyone and everything to be existing and functioning as what they are, is universal.

What is is non-essential for all and everything to be what they are, where all and everyone can still be existing and functioning as they are under the absence of certain names and forms, such as the existence and/or function of all kinds of different beliefs, values, practices, visions, ambitions, aspirations, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, desires and don't desires, the idea of 'I' or the ego, egoism of attachment, identification, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, all kinds of impurities, excessive non-essential physical and mental activities or restlessness, contaminated/misinterpreted teachings and practices of yoga and/or buddhism, and so on, are non-universal.

What is universal, it is the truth or validation for all and everyone and everything, regardless of the different qualities of different names and forms.

What is non-universal, it isn't necessarily true or valid for all and everyone and everything, but it is only 'true' or 'valid' for particular quality of particular names and forms.

 

All and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, governed under the nature's law of cause and effect.

The truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self, and the nature's law of cause and effect, is universal.

 

All and everyone have their own particular personality, characteristic, family lineage, genetic inheritance, names and forms, qualities, conditions, situations, experiences, degrees of inherited and developed intelligence, cognition, reasoning, understanding, learning, knowledge, talents, skills, interests, thinking, ideas, belief, values, practice, desires and don't desires, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, achievements and non-achievements, vision, ambition, sentiments/feelings/emotions, behavior, action, and reaction, and the consequences of all that, or the different causes being generated under different desires/intentions/influences that give rise to different effects, are non-universal.

What allowing all those name and forms that are non-universal to be existing and happening under the nature's law of cause and effect (regardless of constructive, or destructive, or neutral), is universal.

 

All and everyone can be having different types of personal and community likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, desires and don't desires towards all and everything based on their own particular thinking, ideas, beliefs, values, desires, visions, aspirations, and practices, that are non-universal, but all and everyone cannot exist or function to be what they are, if without the air, the water, the nutrients, the minerals, and the heat (energy, or power for all kinds of activity) that exist in nature that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Diversity, of the existence and function of many different qualities of different names and forms, is universal.

 

All and everyone are breathing in and breathing out (regardless of clean air or polluted air in different area, but the content of oxygen in the air is what essential, even if the degrees of oxygen in different altitudes are different) to be existing and functioning as what they are, to be experiencing all kinds of different experiences, for being what they are, as they are.

Upon the breathing stops for extended period, or stops completely, or the air is unavailable for prolonged duration, the names and forms cease function, disintegrate, and cease existing.

The different contamination and the different degrees of contamination, and the different degrees of the different contents in the air, is non-universal.

The contents in the air (oxygen and/or carbon-dioxide for different living organisms) that enabling all and everyone and everything to be existing and functioning as what they are, is universal.

 

What is universal, is intentionless and doesn't discriminate.

What is intentional and discriminate, is non-universal.

 

The sun and the sunlight, is universal.

The earth and nature and the living atmosphere, is universal.

The nutrients and minerals, are universal.

The air and water, are universal.

The heat (energy, or power for all kinds of activities/manifestations), is universal.

The inevitable suffering of ceaseless life maintenance, restlessness, fatigue, hunger and thirst, discomfort, pain, impermanent changes, decay, damage, illness, weakness, fragility, disintegration, coming in contact with disagreeable names and forms, separation from agreeable names and forms, is universal. All and everyone and everything are subject to Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self.

The possibility of liberation from ignorance under conscious mind evolution, where the selfless mind awareness transcends (being undetermined and undisturbed and non-intimidated by) all those natural manifestations that are inevitable, is universal.

The selfless universal consciousness that pervades all and everyone and everything, that is untouched/uncontaminated/unchanged/uninfluenced/undamaged by the countless manifestations of all kinds of names and forms, is universal.

What is universal, it doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

What 'only belongs to' and 'only valid for' specific names and forms/individual/community, it is non-universal.

Natural manifestation of intentionless natural disasters and natural cause of death or ceased existence under natural cause and effect of decay and disintegration, or the uninterrupted natural cycle of arising and passing away under nature that is inevitable, is universal.

Ignorance induced disasters/damages/injuries/causes of death or ceased existence under specific intention/desire/motivation/aspiration/ambition/activity under the influence of ignorance in the different minds that is evitable or unnecessary, is non-universal.

For example, not all and everyone will die from specific type of non-natural cause of death. The different non-natural causes of death, is non-universal. But all and everyone will eventually die under natural cause of decay and disintegration, if they didn't die under non-natural cause of death and are not having any kind of chronic sickness. That is universal.

Another example, not all and everyone will be undergoing specific type of sickness regardless of whether it is due to genetic factor or it is deriving from unhealthy daily habits under the influence of ignorant thinking and behavior. The different type of sickness and the different cause of sickness, is non-universal. But all and everyone will be undergoing some kind of sickness eventually regardless of whether it is acute sickness or chronic sickness, regardless of whether it is due to genetic factor or injury, or it is deriving from unhealthy daily habits that is evitable, or it is due to the natural effect of decay and weakening of the different components/organs/systems of the physical body, if they live long enough to be undergoing the natural process of aging, that is inevitable. All and everyone are all subject to decay, weakness, sickness, or injury, even if the body is being well-maintained under superb condition, super fit, super strong, and super flexible. That is universal.

Suffering in general, regardless of what the mind thinks and believes as 'good people or bad people, good karma or bad karma' that are not really the truth of what things are, is universal. All and everyone are subject to inevitable suffering of just by being existing and functioning as what they are, that need ceaseless effort for ceaseless maintenance, that is selfless, that is subject to impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self.

Specific type of suffering deriving from ignorance that is evitable, is non-universal. Not all and everyone will be undergoing any specific type of suffering deriving from ignorance that is evitable.

The possibility for all minds to be transcending all kinds of suffering, or to be free from ignorance, is universal.

Not all and everyone are interested and self initiative to be transcending all kinds of suffering, or to be free from ignorance, and even if someone is interested and self initiative to be free from ignorance, or to be transcending all kinds of suffering, not all and everyone can attain liberation due to the existence of certain inevitable non-conducive condition or limitation, and hence, the path of liberation to be free from ignorance and suffering, is non-universal, even though all and everyone can be free, if they want, indiscriminately, which that itself, is universal.

However, if the mind that has the desire and effort to be free from ignorance, or to be transcending all kinds of suffering, but due to certain reason, or limitation, or condition, it is still not completely be free from ignorance and suffering, that it still has certain doubt towards certain things/teachings and it perceives suffering, in NOW, but as long as it knows what is non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-judgment, non-expectation, acceptance, and letting go, where it is aware of and acknowledges the presence of ignorance or doubt and the perception of suffering, but without attachment or identification, craving or aversion, judgment or expectation, and be able to accept the reality in the present moment now as it is, not necessarily the way that it would like it to be, and be able to let go all the selfless manifestation of ignorance, doubt, and suffering in this present moment now, and it is resting in peace, that is already what liberation is about. That is what TRANSCEND is about.

TRANSCEND doesn't mean that there is no manifestation of any kind of painful suffering within the body or in the surrounding environment being aware of the painful suffering in all the others, but the mind knows how to not attaching/grasping towards the selfless manifestation/perception/experience of all kinds of names and forms, and if there is the presence of attachment unwittingly/unconsciously, it knows how to let go instantly, and go beyond the selfless manifestation of all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, that are pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, and desirable or undesirable, that arise within the physical structure or in the surrounding environment.

It doesn't mean that upon TRANSCEND takes place, one doesn't perform actions, or one stops performing actions that are possible, that can be benefiting all and everyone unconditionally and indiscriminately, that might help all the others to also be free from ignorance, and to transcend the selfless manifestation of all kinds of evitable and inevitable suffering in oneself and in others.

That's why the genuine dhamma teachers - Siddhartha Gautama buddha, Swami Sivananda, Ajahn Chah, and many other saints and sages, they kept performing actions to be disseminating the teachings/the dhamma as it is, to the public unconditionally and indiscriminately, until the end of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence, because there were/are many minds in this world of ignorant egoistic human beings are desperately in need of the teachings/the dhamma, to be free from the veil of ignorance, and to have peace, so that the minds don't hurt themselves and others and the surrounding environment during the momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional worldly life existence that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to oneself, not to say, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

TRANSCEND is nothing spiritual, philosophical, religious, mystical, miracle, unreachable, untouchable, momentary effects/selfless impermanent mental and/or physical activities under the usage of substances or under unconsciousness and semi consciousness, such as 'dream', 'illusion', 'wild imagination', 'I see the light', 'I see xxx', 'I am flying/floating', 'out of body/out of the world experience', 'insanity', 'hypnotism', or 'trance', that are all part of the selfless manifestations within the modification of the mind.

All kinds of instinctive intentionless unconscious autonomous physical and mental activities for basic life maintenance, and behavior/action/reaction influenced by the mind thinking and behavior pattern being conditioned by genetic inheritance and external influential conditions, is universal. All minds cannot avoid all that, although there is possibility to transcend (not being determined by) all that.

All kinds of conscious by choice non-autonomous physical and mental activities beyond the basic life maintenance under certain conscious desire and intention, or all kinds of conscious by choice behavior/action/reaction under certain desire/intention influenced by the mind thinking and behavior pattern that can be modified, re-conditioned, and influenced by the existence of many different types of impactful and influential conditions/factors/elements/observations/practices/beliefs/values/ideas, of all kinds of physical and mental inputs/activities/interactions/experiences, that give rise to respective consequences that influence the selfless impermanent internal (within the body and mind) and external (the external surrounding living environment) changes/evolution in certain way, in NOW, is non-universal, where different minds can be aware or unaware of all that, and can be doing or not doing something about that, where some minds can be behaving constructively, while some minds can be behaving destructively, which can be determining/influencing all and everything that are happening in the body and mind, and in the world, in NOW. And that itself, where it is possible for the minds to transcend or override all that, is universal.

That's why the egoistic possessiveness and ownership and authorization or restriction/control over the earth, nature, natural resources, living atmosphere, land and space, the freedom of existence/function/living/being/movement of all and everyone and everything that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, as well as the notion or desire to be discriminating towards someone or something, to be destroying diversity, or to be converting/oppressing/forcing all kinds of diversities to become one single uniformity that is agreeable to one particular individual or community, is hurtful, and is against nature, or the truth of all and everything, that gives rise to all kinds of unnecessary suffering that don't need to be existing at all, unto all and everyone and everything.

It is 'normal' that there are certain minds only want to hurt and destroy all and everything, because they are being wired/conditioned to be thinking and behaving in such way, but even these minds also can be liberated from ignorance, and stop hurting itself and all and everything out of its own conscious choice/desire, under self awareness, self initiative, self effort, self inquiry, and self realization, not to say, the minds that don't want or don't have any intention to hurt or destroy anyone or anything.

Inquire the truth of everything.
