Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Sat Nam, Consciousness is like a seed that grows....with every moment it is expanding upwards...always a new leaf...always a new bloom. As all of you know...I really "enjoy" talking about consciousness...and I continue to be amazed at how it can expand. Something just occured to me today and it brought me a much deeper understanding of something. I've been chanting the mantra "Har Harey Haree" for some time now...and this morning I found myself thinking before I began to chant it..."this damn mantra, when am I ever going to understand what it is all about really?" My consciousness has yet to catch up with the "state of consciousness" this mantra evokes....although today I think I have come alittle closer to understanding it in whatever capacity, I can in this moment. It came with something my teacher said earlier this week in class (it just bloomed in my consciousness this afternoon though). he was talking about a state of consciousness where you have the experience of the creator, the act of creating and the creation as being one in the same...something we all intellectually know...and how this experience never leaves you and after that experience, you can't help but recognize, that everything happening outside of you is really just a reflection of what's happening inside of you...there is no separation....in this way, you really do create your own reality. It was the words "no separation" that hit me in a different way, when I reviewed them today. My understanding in my consciousness, of there being, no separation, has always been around...God and creation are one...but what that meant to me, I now realize, was.... If I were to think about my "persoanl being", as particles of light, of one color and the God force, as another color...those two colors get mixed up together, in my body, like a cocktail, stirred and that is Ang Sang Wahe Guru! (God is in my every limb) half this color half that color...yes...God is in me...but I'm not actually God...he's just in me too! ha ha! we're not one color together. God is something outside of me which can flow through me...but I didn't believe he was "of" me. I believe...I think differently now. All of a sudden I had the understanding that "I" am the creator (I have the ability to manifest through what thoughts I hold in my mind)..."I" can create (by projecting a thought and keeping my focus on that path)....and "I" am the creation at the same time (I experience what I create)..."I" am the creator and the creation simultaneously... Eck Ong Kar...Therefore "I" am God...because God is, all of the above, that I have described. I think I realize there is no "me & him" anymore, in this vessel we call a body...there is just an "us", meaning all, we are the same...no separation. Although the definition Deliverer, Organizer and Destroyer for "Har harey haree"...doesn't exactly fit with what I am describing above..something tells me that it is related to this new understanding I experienced. Now for the part I don't enjoy so much...making my life congruent with this reality. ha ha! (I'll get back to you, on how this is going for me, in a couple of lifetimes!! ha ha!)
