Melody/Earnestly seeking to know

[Guest guest]

--Hello Everyone a different energy in consciousness here-!

I would like to response to the below. Maharaj has said that all we

see is of the mind, and we are not the mind we are beyond it. So I

interpet it as, what you are seeing of people who are focued on

externals, is a play of consciousness. It is the Great play or movie

that is constantly changing so it is not real. What is real and who

we truly are is the unmoving screen a nothing so something can be

projected. Since there is only one energy and we are that, what you

are seeing is of the mind tring to put a lable or reason to things.

The mind is not you, It happens to you. So there really arn't people

doing this or that. People arent real. I just appears so because we

have identified and think we are what the mind says. Maharaj sayes he

goes in and out of conscioisness, he plays with it too like we are

but he know he is not that.
