Fw: Great Words!

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

TAT TWAM ASI or AHAM BRAHMASI or AUM TAT SAT are all only ways and means.

Any realised soul does not deliberate or feel proud. any soul that deliberates or feels proud

is not realised. In tamil they say 'KANDAVAR VINDILAR VINDAVAR KANDILAR'

Great Words!

This site is really a Bhakti site. It often reads like the overawing

mindstream passages of the books of Henry Miller. Reading these

passages describing non-dualism, eventually, the mind becomes so

reoriented and passionate about the topic that the True Self

recognizes Itself in the words describing It and awakens. It's

really like a meditation stream.

When the mind becomes pure, few words are needed for the Self to

recognize Itself, and in a sudden flash of remembrance, the old mind

is relinquished.

Attention is discarded, as though the First Commandment of God to

Moses takes hold and with a radical force disallows any images to

arise before the inward pulling all absorbing pulsing force of "I

AM."

One abides as single pervasive consciousness with the localized

attention to the body and images of the mind in abatement.

The Heart radiates terrifically, and every cell of the body feels as

though its being blown apart from within. Light penetrates inward and

streams outward, as though through the pores of the body, through the

head, through the feet and fingers, radiation. Each center opens

upward and outwards expanding .... no limit.

The sun has risen and while the moon of the mind and senses is noticed

in the crystal sky it has no more use to see.

You stand, as though in deep space at the door of the Infinite, like

being grounded in the center of a Black Hole, one side in a state of

dissolution, the senses and mind's images transfigured by their

spaghettification, and the other the tranquil infinite expanse of

undifferentiated consciousness.

This continues .. the impalpable pulsation of no thoughts nor a

thinker. Periodically an impression rises from the deep, like bubbles

rising from the depths of the ocean.... uncaused..... unconditioned

...... beyond time......

Occasionally, even this all consuming state of detachment /

de-contraction vanishes altogether. You are the screen, and yet

there is no you and no screen. Everything happens without attention,

without a doer, automatically.

We talk about different dispositions, but there are no dispositions.

Once the Self recollects Itself, a process of dissolution takes hold.

In a Biblical sense, the first 2 commandments take hold, and it's as

though you are standing in the middle of the Sun crushed and sucked

inward by a powerful force like a graviton, yet irradiated by a

relentless light that transfigures the mind and body.

And this continues day and night. Awake, asleep, such that gradually

even the dream state and deep sleep states are consumed by single

pervasive awareness, and you abide in the Absolute.

All this to say that at a certain time, words give way to the

experience of sudden abiding. Then "hearing" with its inward pulling

force takes hold regardless of one reading Buddhist texts, Christ's

life and words, Vedanta and others. They all trigger the same force

of recollection of dis-amnesia, in which the world and all ideas

about it and God are entirely forgotten.

Gradually with one's Sadhana, the mind and senses come under the force

of abatement. We begin to see without the subject object dichotomy, as

a field of consciousness, in which we are the multidimensional screen

in which the world appears. In the beginning this seeing through the

light of non-objective awareness, as a field of consciousness, seems

to extend from the body some distance, illumined by the brightening

light and expanse of the aura. Then suddenly there is an impact of

the pure mind with the Universal Consciousness and the sense of

inside/outside dissolve. You become electric transparent. No

thoughts, nor a thinker....

At the end of all the words is an experience that consumes them. We

make distinctions about Realization, but in the end all these ideas

whatever they are are simply consumed, and whatever we thought

previously bears little resemblance to the experience.
