Unverified Beliefs

 

Beloved Friends

Love

The following excerpt from The New

Dawn is a challenge to your authenticity.

No concept about truth is going to end

all suffering just by believing it. That

only happens when the ego dissolves

permanently. And mostly follows

purification of all systems with silent

awareness.

Take your Absolute beliefs as a

hypothesis and verify them with direct

experience. Beliefs alone don't help

much, even if they are true.

 

Love

Maitreya

 

The New Dawn

 

You are That

 

Source is multidimensional.

The ultimate truth is unembodied, intelligent awareness

of consciousness. That, contains the potentiality for all

creations in all space/time. Yes, you are That. But no

embodied master can have more than a glimpse of That.

Hence the mystery is never fully revealed to humans

ever. The ultimate enlightenment is access to non-Being,

the seventh body of God, the beyond.

Non-Being is the void of creation. When you say I am

That, it is also inaccurate because no human can create

or destroy the universe. Yes, you and everything are

made from That, but Source is also the mystery that

cannot be known until you leave the body for the last

time and all traces of your soul and being have

disappeared forever. Then and only then are you fully

That.

The Self is the first stage of enlightenment, the fifth body

of Source. It is not just something to recognise, It can

only be discovered. Paramatman is the sixth body of

Source. Full enlightenment gives access to the void, the

seventh body of Source. That is non-Being, the void of

creation. No human can stay there for long. When they

return to the body the fragrance lingers around them, yet

they can’t say much about it because there is no mind or

any memory of That.

Non-Being is beyond the capacity of anyone to articulate

or remember fully. In the spiritual world imagination is a

major trap. When a seeker declares, I am That,

unfortunately that ‘I’ is his ego. The remedy is to stick

rigorously to direct experience.

More helpful for a seeker is the negative, I am not, only

That is. However, this is just another belief until it is fully

realised. The truth believed is a sweet lie.

The solution is to become an inner scientist and verify

the hypothesis by direct experience. This does not

contradict the teaching that says you just have to stop

and recognise who you are. But it does require that the

seeker is not actively guided into believing they just have

to recognise the truth. Truth is not so cheap.

Silence is the answer. The gap of silence a seeker

experiences is a taste of the truth. It becomes

permanent by remaining in the gap of silence for as long

as possible, every day until the ego dissolves forever.

The fundamental misunderstanding is that everyone is

inherently free already.

The truth is each soul is created by That to be deeply

ignorant and slowly evolve in consciousness until the

moment of permanent awakening. Existentially and

functionally every seeker is the soul until they enter the

Self. When that happens it is for the first time for each

soul. You cannot remember what you don’t know. No

seeker has any memory of That.

The time of awakening is fixed by Source. There is

nothing to do but what you feel, with the awareness that

your feeling is the voice of Source guiding you moment

to moment. Surrender to What is, gives freedom

herenow.

Silence is the answer. Those who are close to awakening

will feel pulled into silence.

There is only Source playing all the parts, but seekers

don’t remember where they came from. Ramana’s

enquiry is perfect. Ask: Where do I come from? And wait

silently for silence.

 

Love

Maitreya
