Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 >From Consciousness and the Absolute..editor Jean Dunn January 9, 1981 Q: What are thoughts? M: They are the result of previous conditioning, which the mind has had. Q: Are the thoughts the thought of the Jnani and the ignorant one different for one another? M: The difference is that the jnani has divorced himself from the body-mind, the body mind thoughts will come and go but the jnani is not concerned; whereas, the ignorant one gets involved in those thoughts and the ignorant one considers himself as a name and a form. Q: Should I keep in mind constantly that I am consciousness only? M: You are consciousness and consciousness is you and that's it, it is not necessary to always keep your attention on that fact. When you know that his is your finger, is it necessary to constantly repeat that it is you finger? What is there to be done? Q: When an action must be done or a choice made, how should one make the choice? M: Just understand that it is not your personal action or choice. Do not get involved as the doer. Why do you get involved in all these concepts? First find out what you consider yourself to be. Are you an entity? Get that problem solved instead of getting involved in all kinds of concepts. What are you? You cannot understand with you intellect, it is beyond the grasp of the intellect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
