Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Welcome aboard. You wrote: "I realized on my own recently that there can only be one reality and one being, and then set out to find out who or what that is. I understand this pretty well, but how to realize and experience it on the highest level is something I'm dealing with right now. " May i ask you about how this realization dawned on you ? Actually, even i had some sort of "realization" about oneness and hence joined this forum to understand it better. My concept of God/Brahman/Consciousness was/is "Energy". This the sub-stratum of the whole of the Universe. Whatever things (smallest to the biggest, from quarks to the galaxies) we see, are ultimately a manifestation of Energy. Stuff that makes up the body, mind, thoughts etc. are nothing but these harmonic energy waveforms. It is the Energy that is constant in this ever-changing universe. (A dose of "Law of conservation of Energy" :-). Btw, I dont want to go into the theory of energy getting injected from Parallel Universes. My understanding is that this Energy is Constant even across Universes ). So I consider myself as Energy, not any of its manifestations. When Iam Energy, everything that i see around is also Energy, in effect "Me". Iam Unmanifest at that Energy level. Only when i think of myself as a manifestation, i see other manifestations around. Maya is what happens when Energy erroneously identifies itself with its manifestations. So Self-Realization to me, is to "Be" the "Energy", not just knowing it. Since this concept gels with Advaita so effortlessly, Im hoping to Experience this Reality, following the guidelines suggested in the scriptures. Thanks for your time and have a nice day !

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Dear Sowmy, This is a very nice question for you to ask, so that I can see exactly how I will form my words to explain my discovery. After many years in various western religions, and several years of free-thought, plus through reason, observation, common sense, discussions with others, reading articles and essays, and pondering within, I came to the conclusion that it's either oneness or manyness, and I decided it had to be oneness, and that the oneness either had to be attained or reunited with. I then began to search for that answer and found a great website which taught me to understand that the only thing that can and does exist is Infinite Consciousness. We could not ever have been disconnected from that or we wouldn't exist. Our focus is all that is off. I want to experience this and realize this in all its truth now. Unfortunately, or maybe not, I do put alot of focus on the material realm, due to health situations going on with me. That is somewhat of a struggle, but perhaps also a teacher, or a pointer-to, and is probably the reason I began my quest in the first place. I agree so much with you about Energy, and I thank you for sharing that treasure of wisdom with me. I look forward to talking with you much more.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Namaste Dorie and Sowny, thank you Dorie for joining the group..... "Oneness" brought you to this place.... i believe that this "Oneness" can be "seen" in many messages here...."Oneness" is what give the motivation to seek..... "Oneness" is what give disharmony and restless mind when one person is not aware of this "Oneness"..... "Oneness" is maybe the true nature which let us loose many illusions and expectations....on the path to what we realy Are.... in a spiritual life "Oneness" show that true happiness, peace and joy can't be found "somewhere"....but it's deep inside everyone.... some people realised this completely....and let us "see" this "Oneness" in whole of their Being. a few "realised persons" of the past even didn't need to talk many words....only need to enjoy the truth in silence.....so that "others" did enjoy the same "presence" of Oneness.....in being with the "realised One" i believe that most of people who enjoy competely this "Oneness" remain unknown to people.... the "secret" of "Oneness" ....is not wished to be discovered by many.....because many prefer to build up an "individual", strong, intelligent, ego-minded personality....and don't want to loose this "dream" for any "truth" i wish to thank Sowny for the nice message....and the description of this "Energy"... yes, maybe....that energy which let move planets in a system....is same kind of energy which let beat the heart....which let us breath...and talk... and being seeker of truth... "Oneness" let us learn about what happened for real...in the past.....what is happening for real now.....and what is going to happen for real in the future.... this sounds "secret"....but nice to share this secret...on the path.... Regards Peace and love Marc > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Dear Marc, Thank you for your nice welcome; I really feel a sense of peace and love in this group, which is a very good sign that I'm home. Yes, as you say, most people, especially in the western world where I live, are very caught up in developing the individual, separate self. I have already lost one friendship because of my discovery of Oneness, but another friendship was strengthened. And I feel much friendship here with you all. Very best, Dorie Namaste Dorie and Sowny, "Oneness" brought you to this place.... i believe that this "Oneness" can be "seen" in many messages here...."Oneness" is what give the motivation to seek..... the "secret" of "Oneness" ....is not wished to be discovered by many.....because many prefer to build up an "individual", strong, intelligent, ego-minded personality....and don't want to loose this "dream" for any "truth" Regards Peace and love Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
