hariH OM!

 

smt coletteji's recent postings from

various sources clearly demonstrates the

universality of nondual metaphysics.

 

here's a letter in response to a question

that shows the power behind the release

of the dynamic of judgment*, our ultimate

and final fetter/obstacle to moksha.

______

* vital though it is in the course of one's

sadhana [in the form of viveka], it also

commonly proves to be our most formidable

obstacle at the unique moment we're shown

to be ready for the awakening into our own

source in Freedom.

 

namaste

hahaha! yes, it is.

 

yet it's also elegant!

 

stupid AND elegant. this is the nature

of the Mind-in-action. the true nature

of the the projection of brahman's leela.

 

so is meditation. the process itself

embraces the vastest range of possible

relativity set-ups. at each point on

the psychodynamic graph, is a mixture

of the gunas: satvorajotamasic (satvic,

rajasic and tamasic)...all representing

unique blendings of the stupid and the

elegant. yes!

 

now, it is the *substratum* of all of

that that we're looking to find and

make the connection with! yet we have

no choice but to fail continuously!!

 

now you're ready to hear this: fact is,

even the witness winds up being within

the range of this relative spectrum.

because the 'witness' is still a thing

we can study and evaluate. we have a

a conception of it. the Substratum on

the other hand goes even deeper than

that! the idea of the witness is only

a temporary crutch--like training wheels

on a bicycle--that has to be thrown when

one starts approaching the threshold.

(you're mentioning that you "have a front

row seat in the comedy of life," is the

clearest indication that you're at or

approaching the threshold. yes.)

 

don't put any stock in your ability or

not to effectively meditate. it amounts

to being nothing more than a pleasant

passtime. ...like taking a hot bath

or floating down from an airplane or

making love. or it can be a source of

anxiety. ...like boredom in a checkout

line or a conflict in communication.

 

ok: the Self is found *within* all of

these mechanistic Life demonstrations

AS WELL AS *beyond* and *beneath* them

at the same time. and here's the final

mule-kick to the Mind: you CANNOT in

any way have a hands-on grasp that you

*realize* your own true nature! THIS IS

WHAT EVERYONE IS **EXPECTING** TO BEHOLD!
