Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 <About self(ego)-improvement>Quotation from 'Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj' "Who is thinking in terms of transformation, changing from one state to another; in terms of self-improvement? Surely it is nothing other than an appearance in consciousness, a character in a movie, an individual in a dream - a dreamed pseudo-entity considering itself subject to the workings of Karma. How could such a dreamed character 'perfect' itself into anything other than its dreamed self? How could a shadow perfect itself into its substance? How could there be any 'awakening' from the dream, except for the dreamer to re-solve the true identity of the source of the dream, the manifestation?"

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hi kim! I Am the shadow! When the shadow is seen by the I, when all tricks of the shadows are seen by the I only the I remains, everything vanishes. Nothing to see, nothing to learn, nothing but the I as you said pur awarness. I is the eternal being non changing, nor created, life itself, awarness it self. Is there something to accomplished? to understand? or to do? no. My english is poor but I want to write this poem, Immortality is my name, to reach my divinity is the game. Only him exist and I'm bowing at his feet. Who is that one praying at me? Doesn't he knows that I am he! I will wait no longer I will let him know that he and me forever will be. I am not born nor dead, I am he, the one who is looking at me! Awarness is my name and manifestation is the game. What else is there outside of me? I am the seer, I am the seen, the worlds dreams is what I mean. Don't look at me, you won't see me. Look thou in a mirror and there I'll be. What else is there other than I, We'll be forever you and I. God or the Self to you I'll be, in your body-mind please let me be. Like twin brother let us work, I'll build your shadow, it will bring some sorrow. I am not evil, I am nor good, this will someday be understood. Nirvana is my name and you are the game. Who do you think you are, I am your thoughts, I am your dreams, and you poor shadow thinks you are real. You are my shadow and I'm your light, lets say you will be the master tonight. What is this light which blinds my eyes. It must be God what a delight. What a privilege to meet again, I will now sing for you again. He might be deaf, he must be blind... he will teach me at his own time. Could I ever live without him, Could I ever lived at all. Without his presence without his being, there is no origine. Created or creator is all the same. Finally there is no game? Ultimatly I'm God's shadow but I shouldn't forget that, I AM HE. Eternal life, Eternal Self, is what I AM, isn't it me that brought you here. When I expire I give you life, and when I breath I take you in. Don't be surprised you bend your knees to contemplate the one you please. You are everything I which to be, please fear not and you will see. You are my love you are my shadow, you've seen my face, it's now to me to bow. I am The Being, you the non-being, forever have been, forever will be. In my Self there is no doubt that could erase my love for you. Please feel free to come back home, I miss you much my other me. Without you I'm nothing else then the eternal self unmanifested. Let us meet again, our long, long, dream have reached his end. Oscar, Thanks!
