It may be discovered here that there is, at the root, something like an innocent misunderstanding, a simple case of mistaken identity. What we are speaking about here is the actual evolution of consciousness itself. This human drama is not a mistake. Most of the cherished "spiritual" teachings infer that this human life is some kind of error or unfortunate occurrence - something to transcend, some sin or even something of the nature of a stain - tainted. But if we really inquire into this, we can see that consciousness has taken form for a reason. It has come into form so that it can be conscious as form. That's the beauty of this amazing human birth. Consciousness can become self-aware through this human form. It can not only become self-aware, but can finally manifest liberation through form, through human-ness, in the way that we act in the field of space and time.To be "liberated" from being a human being is not enough. The consciousness itself has an impulse to manifest itself in the world of space and time. This where some confusion enters in. To be able to have this realization function in the world seems to be the true call of evolution. Ultimately, the manifestation is a creation. It's a birthing from an act of indescribable Love. It's certainly not some terrible mistake that we need to escape from into some transcendental realm. That's the goof of dualism. So many teachers confuse people here, but if it's all One, it is truly ALL ONE! There is no reason why that Oneness can't express Itself in the world of space and time just as much as in the Infinite. Such distinctions can be seen as mere notional indulgence, when all this "messiness" of our humanity is allowed to be liberated from such judgments of belief and conceptual filtration by the Power of Awakeness.Nevertheless, there is some real confusion when consciousness takes form and tries to become self-aware. It seems to be a risk that consciousness takes in its maturation process, or its evolving into becoming truly self-aware through form. It is simply a matter of getting confused about its ultimate identity --It comes into form, and then it thinks that it is that form, separate and divided from all that is perceived to arise in the sphere of consciousness itself. From this, a lot of suffering can and does arise, the birth pangs of Itself to discover its True Nature, and then to manifest it as Full Incarnation, the moment to moment demand that all excuses be abandoned for acting anything less than from complete awakeness in this very moment, whatever the moment may contain.If this inquiry takes one into the head it will feel very dry, very intellectual. If it stays grounded in one's native heart openess, it won't feel in the least bit abstract. In fact, it is actually quite marvelously, joyously drenched in the juiciness of life, in whatever way life may be expressing itself this moment, this moment in which all is contained, the entire history of itself, at this pinpoint of attention, called now.In the place where consciousness is really unified, where it sees the true nature of both formlessness and form, such phrases as "I am That" are actually true. It becomes perceivable. One's sense of self expands to include everything. Here nothing is really outside of oneself. This view of unity consciousness is much vaster than the view of formless consciousness (see Tozan's Five Ranks). One needs to go beyond mind into one's own direct experience to really hear this, or else it just becomes more stale spices added to the conceptual stew of faux-nondualism. It would initially appear that this experience of unity consciousness is complete, once there is the realization that "I am That", "I am everything". It may seem that there is nothing more to see. And yet if inquiry proceeds further, there is something very simple to recognize. Even in this unity consciousness there is an awareness of this unity consciousness. There is a very simple wakefulness of it, in which this unity consciousness is arising. This awakeness has no qualities whatsoever. No bliss, no peace, no presence - not even consciousness. Sometimes this "Original Face" is called Emptiness. Yet it is even empty of any qualities of emptiness. Here there is no self or Self. It is not a state of consciousness, and yet it does not cancel what it transcends.Separate self-consciousness, Formless consciousness, Unity consciousness are all arising within this, are all birthed within It. They are actually illuminated, or seen through, and thus become Liberated from any identification within this, from any fixation at any level of consciousness. Since everything arises from this wakefulness, there is nothing that needs to be eliminated. The only "problem" that ever arose was the fixation on any level. From this wakeful Awareness, all states are gathered in one vast embrace of Love, and are seen to co-exist simultaneously, non-exclusively. When this is truly and deeply Seen, and all fixation has been undermined by the acceptance of Embrace, then one comes to realize that this wakefulness, which one IS, is in Love with all states of consciousness. It does not need to hide in egoic consciousness, in formless consciousness, in unity consciousness, in peace or bliss - it loves them all. It functions through them all. Then they all can begin to dance! This dancing of all states of consciousness together is really the end, and the beginning, of incarnation, or conscious embodiment. To take in the whole of experience in one embrace - to swallow the Ocean in one gulp -- This is the Mystery! What becomes realized is this simple awake Awareness that every human being has, at every moment of their lives. One may have many mystical, transcendental experiences, and perhaps, through Grace, come eventually to the mystical experience of being truly human. Stabilizing in such "experience", one will eventually become ordinary, natural. Could this actually be the "ultimate ground", the full flowering of the transcendent Mystery - that the most liberating turns out to be the most ordinary? And yet, how could it be otherwise? It's only natural! :-)LoveAlways Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Shopping REALIZATION is SEEING and NOT KNOWING ..... for Good - Make a difference this year.

That said, I once took some liberties with a famous Ramana oration (fundies please forgive me!), that I'll share again here, since we're on the subject: The Song of Love is heard only by Love. It is the loving rhythm of Love for and by Itself. Along with the little-known practice of actually Loving, and inquiry into the true nature of the Lover, such hearing is more potent than any other so-called spiritual discipline, until all such disciplines are recognized as only the play of Love. The blessing sound that Love bestows makes one who is ready immediately open and empty to receive, devoid of any resistance. Love's real nature is the OneHeart Itself. Only. The ordinary person dreams in the brain, unaware of their true Home in the Heart. The Lover lives in the Heart. The Lover is Lived by the Heart, awakening to a constant whisper of the Heart to Itself. For the Lover, the true devotee of Love, there is nothing but the joyful movement of the formless Heart into all forms and relationships as Song itself! The Lover has no will. No choice. All such fantasies have been consumed by the lovely fire of Love. In the realm some call "this world", the Lover knows that what they hear is not separate from the OneHeart in which all arises and dissolves, which they realize in the Heart as their own Self, Singing! Love hears nothing as greater or lesser, higher or lower, better or worse, more or less desirable. All is only Love to such ears. In the state of Love the Lover hears nothing separate from the Beloved's voice – radiance divine rippling in every direction for the sheer magnification of Itself in mysterious symphonic wonder. For the Lover, Love alone IS, and nothing else. By persisting in communion with Love, the Lover sheds all recoil from Love, until such dry tunes drop away completely, revealing that which Is. In such humility, Love, which is truth, becomes the sacrifice which returns as the Singing Smile, illuminating all that does not recognize Itself as Love. Exquisitely, Beloved presses so urgently down into mortality as a musical Love offering to that which lingers in the forgetfulness of its own true nature. How Happy is the Lover to fall into this slipstream of Loving's Bright Song, that all may enjoy the delight of Love's homecoming to Itself, the Self of all, the treasure of the living light of heart-broken surrender to the deepest yearning of being itself! Jai to the Inextinguishable, this ever-living flame, this HeartSong! LoveAlways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
