I am Adam Lanza

I am Adam Lanza


 
This meditation is prompted by the events in Connecticut.

"I am Adam Lanza."

I am a nondualist who follows Advaita, the way of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. My truth is that there is no difference between you and me, no separation between "my" consciousness and all-that-is. The appearance of separateness is an illusion - "I AM" both all there is and nothing at all.

In this way of being, there is literally no difference between me and Adam Lanza, the Connecticut shooter. He is me.

It's not just that in some abstract way I must "assume responsibility" for what happened there because "we are all one". It's much closer than that.

I looked through the sights of that rifle, into the eyes of those children. I pulled the trigger. I watched them die. He is me, I AM him. I did that.

In the same moment I AM each of those children.

I looked into the eyes above that rifle. I stared into the tiny black hole in its tip. I felt the fear, I saw the finger move on the trigger. I saw the beginning of the flash, and I felt the incomprehensible result.

I also lay on the floor in the corner of the classroom - face down as my teacher had told me, trying in vain to hide in plain sight. I heard feet stop beside me. I saw the tip of a boot out of the corner of my eye. I felt that enormous blow as the darkness came.

I AM the parents answering the awful telephone call. I AM the politicians, frozen like deer in the headlights of this insoluble, irreversible moment. I AM all the separated ones, unable to bear the pain, retreating desperately into the unconsciousness of platitudes and projections.

And I AM my mundane self, working hard to become aware, open and vulnerable, to truly BE all-that-is. And into this open space come the the trigger finger and the bullets, the fear and pain, and the grief and rage of a world betrayed.

In this mundane life I have taken the name Bodhi, as a reminder of the state to which I aspire. In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva takes a vow to work for the liberation or moksha of all sentient beings for as long as samsara persists. As I AM all beings, and they are me, I AM here until that happens. As are all of us.

I AM Adam Lanza, and with this voice I say to the world,

"I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you."

1. Not gonna be popular, but we all need to own this.

Knee-jerk gun control stuff only addresses the symptoms. That horse is so far out of the barn that it's in orbit.

The way we think needs to change. Wanna do something about this? Stop Rupert Murdoch from getting more control over what we see, read, and hear than he already has. That sort of influence lowers us all, even if we consider ourselves "above" it.

So now it's all Faux Snooze's fault.  :mental:

It's much more honorable that conservatives say, "I am Breitbart."  Only a DUmmie could come up with the statement that he's Adam Lanza.

"I am Adam Lanza."

I am a nondualist who follows blah blah blah...  :argh:

You're Adam Lanza, huh?  Well come with me, Mr. Lanza; we have this nice gurney we want you to lay down on, and a needle we're going to put into your arm. No, lad; it won't hurt a bit; you see the Adam Lanza we here in reality are familiar with did some pretty nasty stuff, and so, we're going to have to punish ONE of you for those crimes.  Since the Adam Lanza we thought we had isn't amongst us any longer, we figured you wouldn't mind picking up a few hours in his name.

All that Zen "one with the Universe" shit and what the first poster concludes from it is we need to get rid of Rupert Murdoch?

Out of all the thousands of cultural minutiae that influence violence it boils down to one media guy?

Really?

It just goes to illustrate what I said before - this is a political football to the moonbats. Nothing more or less.

What gets me is they say that Breitbart should burn in hell, yet this piece of human shit does what he does and they find ways to have compassion for him.  :mental:

I do know that those of the Eastern faiths do the horrid act of burning them selves alive in the streets to protest one thing or another.  

However I have never heard of them taking any kind of innocent baby's with them.  Nor have I heard of this being done in the past, except for the Bible.

The I am Me, you are You, we are one, only relates to to the union of two people and acceptance of each other  for marriage or life time friendship.  This has nothing to do with destroying the life of another.

Well, Bodhi, you're not me. I AM the remorseless son of a bitch that will shoot you in the head without a second's hesitation, if I ever find you being Adam ****ing Lanza in my world.

If you really think you're me, you can save me the trouble and shoot yourself in the head.
