Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 This morning in meditation my mind was the thoughts that made these hands write. The words "Nothing is because I AM" could not stop these hands: The day I started to meditate I figured that I was not the thoughts that I was observing. I was not my mind. When I started to observe my thoughts they went wild. My mind acted like a spoiled-child that had been a dictator for over 50 years. The day I observed my mind have a temper-tantrum was the day that changed everything. That was the day life started turning into a dream. When I figured that my mind was nothing but a spoiled-child that had been the police, judge, expert-witnesses and jury to literally everything it thinks it knows – truths, lies, gods and demons, dreams and reality – that day I smelled a putrid skunk. To turn life into a dream all I had to do is use my mind to find Holes in its "realities" – after three years there are nothing but Holes. Some of the best holes physics calls black-holes. In A Dream The Subject, Verb And Object Is One And The Same: The Dreamer Is The Dreaming And Everything In The Dream. Advaita, Krishna, tells us that the "reality" our mind creates is exactly like a dream. Reality is Consciousness, Awareness, in which everything is the SAME – EXACTLY like a dream, because it is a dream. Thoughts -- which are Nothing , but thoughts -- fools us into thinking otherwise. Thoughts, our mind, fools us into thinking that we are "two-feet for the ground and a head for the clouds." Once I no longer took my mind and its feet-and-head seriously – because it was a dream – I Realized that I was THAT. Without a mind telling me that it was two-feet-and-one-head I figured out that I had to be Consciousness, THAT. Without a mind telling me otherwise I am the dreamer of literally everything that has been and will be imagined. I am Arjuna and Krishna … I am the pupil and also his inner and outer Guru. And because I am both OM and Krishna -- and literally everything else in MY dream – I created all the gods, and devils, and I keep all their universes suspended on a single thread of my being. That is the only way Advaita and its Nothing, dreams, can work. The joke is that if YOU too can turn the dream you call your mind, thoughts, from feet-and-head into Holes (preferably black-holes) then YOU too will also Realize that I am YOU who is THAT, the Author of this and literally everything else that has been written. P.S. Today when my mind starts to hallucinate about police, judges and juries I quickly shut it up with: Nothing Is because I AM. =-= Nothing is real because I AM the only Reality = Advaita.

You and Me and everybody else are seperated by the ego mind..... in Maya appear forms...... in Brahman appear Nothing.... the Author of something can never be the Self.... maybe even the words of a realized persons are not the words of the Self...... the Self don't know any language.....but IS every language the Self don't have any body or form....but IS every form.... .....the ocean is not a drop....but IS all drops... only few thoughts... would be nice to know in how far...this my words are "compatible" with advaita.... maybe i have another "view" in my mind....let me know... (i'm not so much experienced with the scriptures) thanks with love Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(There is no doer) The joke is that what we write, and think, has absolutely nothing to do what the reader will create out of it for his dream. Thus we have words that one calls a lie and another calls the same words a truth. There are all sorts of levels of understanding. I must have read Papaji's "The Truth Is" and "Nothing Happened" five or six times. The first time I understood little to nothing – but every now and then a sentence would make me cry with joy. I kept going back, I think, for this joy. Each time I re-read the book I could not believe that I had basically never read it before. "I AM THAT" was the same. And many others. I kept reading addictively until the addiction was gone. When the addiction was gone reading could only disturb the Joy, Silence. Now my body-mind has to write addictively to myself for the same Maya that made me read addictively. Deep down I wish I did not have to write addictively except that it does help to break down the intellectual walls I have been building for over 50 years. Responding to others in these groups has given me thoughts that have broken down intellectual walls that previously were impenetrable. Maybe that is part of this Maya that needs an addiction for writing, and sharing it with groups. It really has to be a dream because it is too-surreal, too much Joy, not to be a dream.

Now my body-mind has to write addictively to myself for the same Maya that made me read addictively." yes...it's kind of writing to ourself...all this......it's a writing "in search" for Brahman....a writing by the heart......which is at home in Brahman.....the heart which can cross Maya.....means....the mind you wrote: "Deep down I wish I did not have to write addictively except that it does help to break down the intellectual walls I have been building for over 50 years.
