Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 What if you were all that there is and are totally and completely alone here? Ramana told a visitor "You alone exist" and Balsekar says "Consciousness is all there is". What if it were true? What if every thing that is or happens is just you - alone? Would you be lonely, scared, bored, joyous, FREE....what? Would what's here make any sense if it were all just you being/doing it or would it be a thrilling relief to actually know that it's all just you - even if you don't immediately understand everything about this - yourself? jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 hi jim, My answer to that is to look at those who have GENUINELY attained that state. The qualities they radiate would indicate that it is a Blessed state. I think concepts such as "alone" really belong to the realm of the ego mind.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dear Jim and everyone, It's nice to hear from you again Jim. --- jim rich <jc2rich wrote: > What if you were all that there is and are totally > and completely > alone here? For some, the condition is not a "what if"; but IT is reality. > Ramana told a visitor "You alone exist" > and Balsekar > says "Consciousness is all there is". What if it > were true? What if > every thing that is or happens is just you - alone? That is the truth. > Would you be > lonely, scared, bored, joyous, FREE....what? Yes. Actually, "scared" might be the first feeling that is generated by THE realization/change (call it whatever), then "joyous", then "lonely and bored". But these are all temporary conditions/phases that ONE might experience as the "who I am" slips away. There are the rare and fortunate souls such as Ramana who apparently get to skip these feelings. At any rate these stages/conditions are not the final result.
