When I woke up this morning I had for a very brief moment the feeling

of being only consciousness. Very strange, yet is was an extremely

normal feeling. Super-normal. Like being the real me. Nothing other

than the _lack_ of having any concerns about the world or the body.

Yet fully aware of it all as normal. So natural! When the feeling

disappeared it was only a very faint hint of dissapointment in me. So

the step between this new feeling and my ordinary waking state

feeling cannot be too great.

 

I think I will begin practise to become that state. Much more fun

than being worried about the future " me " and my body all the time. :-

) I don't think this new feeling was an illusion. I think it was a

hint about a much more solid reality than what the identification

with only the body is.

 

When you _only_ identify yourself with your body, then, is there not

something you are missing? Where is the _complete_ picture about

yourself if you see yourself as _only_ a body with a separate

conscious mind in it?

Yes Fox, it is a meaningless concept. Now, there is a feeling of

a 'you' viewing a universe in 'your' brain. Once that feeling of

a separate " you' is gone, the feeling of a separate universe goes

with it. Then, seamless perception happens. And no one is there to

see a universe dwelling in a you.

it feels mysterious... sometimes i doubt myself... but the reality of

it all ways comes back of itself...

 

all things come thru me... nothing exists except by me... how could

it be otherwise???

 

(it feels awesome)

do not try to become that state... u can only BE that state... if u

try to " become " that state, u will only be obstructing it... u r

already THAT... how can THAT " become " THAT???

 

the body-physical is the means from whence consciousness knows

itself...

 

everything is a reflection of you (it is folly to seek one's own

reflection)... there is no other

 

i am god, satan, jesus, krishna, buddha, allah, brahman... all of

that... i am all there ever was, is or shall be...

 

thou art that

 

yours
