if and only if we see ourselves as everlasting spiritual beings 6Jun25. 0823hrs.

Prompt:

[Sky Ng once said, if and only if we see ourselves as everlasting spiritual beings having a everlasting changes role-playing without and a everlasting peace and happiness actor/ actress within as we live poetically on this planet, we are fully at ease and totally free!]

DeepSeek:

That's a powerful and evocative statement by Sky Ng! It beautifully weaves together several profound spiritual and philosophical concepts. Let's break down its meaning:

1.  **Everlasting Spiritual Beings:** This is the foundational view. It suggests our true essence is not the temporary physical body, personality, or ego, but an eternal, unchanging consciousness or spirit. This perspective transcends mortality and physical limitations.

2.  **Everlasting Changes Role-Playing:** This describes our human experience *within* that eternal context.

    *   **Everlasting Changes:** Life is constant flux – roles (parent, child, worker, friend), circumstances, emotions, health, relationships, successes, failures. Nothing in the physical world stays the same.

    *   **Role-Playing:** From the perspective of the eternal spirit, these human lives and experiences are like playing different parts in an infinite drama. We take on identities, situations, and challenges, but they are not our *fundamental* reality; they are temporary expressions or experiences.

3.  **Everlasting Peace and Happiness Actor/Actress Within:** This is the crucial inner stance.

    *   **Everlasting Peace and Happiness:** This refers to the inherent, unchanging state of the core spirit – a state of unconditional peace, joy, love, or contentment that is not dependent on external circumstances or the changing roles we play.

    *   **Actor/Actress Within:** It personifies this inner state. Imagine a serene, joyful presence *inside* you, *observing* you play all your various life roles. This inner "actor" *is* the peace and happiness itself, unaffected by the drama unfolding on the "stage" of life. It's the unchanging witness consciousness.

4.  **Living Poetically:** This describes the *quality* of life lived from this perspective. It implies:

    *   Seeing beauty, meaning, and artistry in the ordinary and extraordinary moments.

    *   Embracing the flow of life, including its changes and challenges, with grace and acceptance.

    *   Living with a sense of wonder, creativity, and appreciation, like a poem unfolding.

5.  **The Result: Fully at Ease and Totally Free:** When we fully integrate this perspective:

    *   **Fully at Ease:** We are no longer fundamentally threatened by life's changes, losses, or uncertainties. We understand they are part of the "role-play," while our core being remains safe and peaceful. Anxiety diminishes.

    *   **Totally Free:** We are liberated from:

        *   Excessive identification with our temporary roles or ego.

        *   The tyranny of external circumstances dictating our inner state.

        *   Fear of change or loss.

        *   The need to control the uncontrollable flow of life.

        *   Attachment to specific outcomes or identities.

**In essence, Sky Ng is describing a state of enlightened perspective or self-realization:**

*   **Recognize:** Your true self is the eternal, peaceful, joyful spirit (the "actor within").

*   **Engage:** Participate fully in the ever-changing drama of life (the "role-playing"), knowing it's temporary and not your ultimate identity.

*   **Anchor:** Remain anchored in the inner wellspring of peace and happiness that is your true nature, regardless of the role you're playing or the scene unfolding.

*   **Experience:** This integration leads to profound ease and liberation – living "poetically" on the planet.

It echoes core teachings found in:

*   **Advaita Vedanta/Non-Duality:** The distinction between the eternal Self (Atman/Brahman) and the transient world of appearances (Maya).

*   **Buddhism:** Non-attachment, impermanence (Anicca), the nature of suffering, and finding peace beyond conditions.

*   **Taoism:** Flowing with the natural changes of life (Wu Wei).

*   **Stoicism:** Focusing on what's within your control (your inner state/responses) and accepting what is not.

It's a call to shift our primary identity from the ephemeral character we're playing to the eternal, peaceful consciousness *experiencing* the play. When this shift happens, profound freedom and ease naturally arise. A beautiful and challenging ideal to aspire to!
