Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Dear Gruop, After watching the latest movie playing on the screen of Consciousness in this group, I am even more sure of the wisdom of Nome's recommendations of non-assertion. The only thing that can be asserted is ego. AS I continue to watch this process in myself (and with others) it seems like ANY assertion of ego is inappropriate. What I think the seekers and devotees in this group are interested in is the peace and joy that comes from being steeped in the Silence of Being. Assertion of ego does not bring this Silence. My spiritual goal is to get to that 'place' where I know with certainty the unreality of ego, and so am able to put it down once and for all. In Self-inquiry, Realization comes through Knowledge. It is the Knowledge of the unreality of ego, and the absolute reality of the Self, that I seek in my practice. We are Not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
