Unity

[Guest guest]

Unity.

 

It is the natural assumption of all logic that there was a cause for

this effect we see as the universe. Science has described it as the

big bang. Some believe the hand of God was responsible. Some say

that matter came from energy, and energy from mind.

 

After some consideration one comes to the question, well who made

God? From where does mind originate? Some people stop at the

conception of the absolute mind, thinking that this is the bounds of

relative mind.

 

It is nessecary to come to a stop in this line of creation. This is

what some call Siva (pure awarness). The mind is all there is. But

now we transcend mind. With out mind, there is no universe. There is

only Siva.

 

To Siva there is no such thing as time or space. To the Siva this

point of the universe is no different from any other time point of

the universe. It is all in all. Nothing can be taken away or gained

by Siva.

 

Siva is pure being, pure awareness. It is the basis of the universe.

Siva is the mirror, and the universe is the reflection on this

mirror. Whatever the image on the mirror, the mirror remains

unchanged.

 

This is the only logical conclusion of unity. Unity is the basis of

all true religions and belief structures. Even if someone believes

that his way is the only way, for him it is one. For another, all

religions and creeds are true and one.

 

God means both Siva (the mirror) and Sakti (the universe) together.

For the sake of clarification I have seperated them. In truth you

cannot have fire without heat, or ice without cold. Yet for the sake

of proper gnani, a distinction has been made. This universe is dual,

as such dual knowledge is nessecary for liberation.

 

The highest conception of God is true surrender. It is all God. You

and this whole universe is God. As such where does one go from

here. Direct experience of God.

 

The highest conception of God does not mean the highest

manifestation. Meaning that even to know this truth of unity, does

not mean that nothing more need be done.

 

How to experience God like our divine examples of Jesus, Buddha,

Mohamed, Sri Ramakrishna, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and others.

 

If it is all God, our closest connection to God is our own

consciousness. If it is all God the source of our consciousness is

the source of all. The source is all.

 

Clearly we must come back the way we came. Out the hole, back down

the path, to home. Our home, as described in the bible, is this pure

state of awareness called Siva. We left that state into duality,

into the mind. We built up vasanas which we call our ego. This ego

prevents us from returning home. We must first destroy these

vasanas, to return to our natural state.

 

For some these vasanas are slight and this realization takes place

rapidly. For others a longer peirod of practice is required.

 

This practice can take the form of devotional worship, meditation,

etc. Thru meditation one can force this sate of realization for

short periods. These short intervals remove vasanas.

 

As descibed in the allegory of vasanas being warriors in a fortress.

If they are killed as they emerge, soon the fortress is emptied.

 

Sitting in medition and constantly killing these thoughts as they

emerge, and remaining as our true state is the practise best employed

by the learned. Devotional worship, doing everything for God is the

easiest way for the not so learned.
