Non doer

[Guest guest]

The seer is really the substratum of both the subject and the object. The

individual consciousness, when purified is discovered to be the same as the

Universal All-Pervasive Consciousness, like lifting a top off a jar that

shows that the air inside and outside are the same. This isolation of the

seer is Yoga.

 

These seem to be 2 (subject and object) because attention is focused through

the lens of the mind into images apearing in the mind (whether from inward

takes or the impressions of the moment to moment takes on the senses).

 

But when the mind is purified, there arises easily an inward pulling, like a

graviton into the Heart, and attention to objects dissipitates with the

brightening of the inward consciousness that fills and transends the mind

and the body. (The wise man's heart inclines him to the right. -

Ecclesiastics 10:3)

 

Gradually, a transition occurs, where the mind is no longer used to see,

rather one awakens to the Singularity of the "I as I." There is still a

world, but it just appears, not separate, without a separate self to see or

know. It's like the analogy of a color coming into the proximity of a pure

and clear the diamond, which seems to reflect the color variously, yet

remains wthin its own nature always resolute, unchanging, pure and clear.

 

When the Sun of the Heart rises, the Moon of the Mind is no longer necessary

to see.

>From the moment that This awakening emerges into the consciousness, the "I"

pulsates and withdraws as the subject of attention.

 

"All is empty, clear, self illuminating with no exertion of the mind's

power." (Faith Mond - Third Zen Patriarch)

 

There is no experiencer or experience, no subject nor object, no seer nor

seen. For the time being, these may seem like empty words. But when inward

hearing arizes, these words are recognized any trigger an inward pulling.

This is the Truth the Founders of all the religions have been saying in

whatever way that those that haveears to hear might hear when the heart is

pure.

 

A pure heart means that the mind has become clear enough through any means

that the pulsation of the "I as I" is heard. Then we abide simply as That,

and the subject-object notion in the mind simply dissolves, having no

relivance at all to the emerging Truth. The idea of an identity to images

is suddenly and simply relinquished.

 

Theories, concepts, strategies, methods, philosophies ... all just drop off,

having no relivance to the continuing pulsation of the All-Pervasive Self.

 

The Truth resonates as soundless sound: "Infinately large and infinitely

small, no diference, for definitions have vanished and no boundries are

seen." (Faith Mond - Third Zen Patriarch)

 

There needs to be some practice that purifies the mind. At the same time

there needs to be an effort to hear the Truth recorded in the Scriptures of

the various religions. As the mind becomes pure and still true hearing

begins to manifest in the consciousness. The Truth of one's being ecognizes

Itself and draws the mind inward to dwell in and abide as Truth.
