What is your Self? The answer is that your Self is the Source of all

that you experience.

There is no " source " of experience.

The Source of your Self

 

 

What is your Self? The answer is that your Self is the Source of all

that you experience. The Source itself is changeless. You as you

really are is a changeless state. The intellect is not changeless nor

is the body. Pure awareness is changeless. You are that pure

awareness. I know, this sounds like a second-hand spiritual

information from the 90:th, but rest assured that whatever

measurable " object " appearing in your way is not you. The changing

objects of this world, be it money, thoughts or feelings, are passing

clouds and nothing more than that. Happiness, true happiness cannot

be found in objects, because separate objects are illusions (yes,

even money is an illusion). Deep, radical happiness can only be found

in the changeless Source that you are. You, yourself is changeless.

Your REAL existence is changeless. Don't for a second believe that

the passing show is what you are. What changes is there for you to

enjoy, not for you to identify yourself with! :-)

 

I can hear your thoughts; " What a load of crap! That which is

changing is also me. " But tell me, what is aware of change? Can

change be aware of itself? How can there be change if there is no

relation to that which does not change? Tell me that.

I don't like the word 'Source' as a definition of the Self either.

What is *is*. In this 'is' is a timeless, changeless quality. Maybe a

better world for the Self would be 'Being'. Of course, I am just

writing words here and words are not It itself. Maybe 'Wholeness' is

another good world for the Self. The ego is 'Not whole', and the Self

is Wholeness. These are just words I know. Words and explanations

have a tendency to go around, and around, and around... Maps about

maps about maps... Where the rubber meets the roads is not in the

intellect. The intellect is thoughts _about_ the rubber meeting the

road. ;-)

The funny thing that I have noticed, Anders, is that

the more you try to find a word for " It " the more

the word/words get mushy, diffuse...

 

In other words, the more you try to nail it down,

the more rubbery the nail gets!

 

You wrote: What is is. That is great, and sure nuf

I do agree. But what have you said?

 

And why have a term for your Self at all? Is there

really anything there you need to refer to? If it is

not " over here " nor " over there " ... why does it need

to be referred to at all?

 

Is " I am that which cannot be referred to, " a contradiction

in terms in that I have inherently made a reference to

" it " in using the terms " that " and " I " ?

 

Even " I am " seems untenable to me.

 

What Is is.

 

But even that is fading.

 

When What Is is gone, what then?

 

" The world " is an ancient memory, words that have lost

their ring.

 

And Presence no longer has a " taste " .

 

It too has faded.

 

Beyond beyond beyond 'tis said.

 

Ahhh yes

 

beyond beyond beyond

Ironic that you mention her as just this afternoon I was thinking

to mention her re a message on another list

 

Yes, I've read her first book (The Path of No-Self I think it is called).

 

Don't recall the " insipid flat world " you mention... but fits with what

I recall of her. A friend has done a number of workshops with her

and thinks the world of her (not insipid and flat tho : ).

 

Now I'm wondering if the world seems insipid and flat to me....

I guess it seems vague and ghostly... like in extreme slow motion...

 

Which of her books did you see that in?

Hi Bill,

 

The book is called " What is Self. " Although Roberts never divorced

her Christian theology, and often seems to go thru conceptual

contortions to fit her insights into Christian Dogma, sometimes she

sound remarkably like Nis as in the paragraph I quote below from

the book I just mentioned.

 

" The Divine is not self, has no self, and is not even aware of itself;

the divine is beyond all man calls awareness or consciosness. Divine

knowing is something else entirely; it cann't be grasped by the mind,

and its not an experience. "

 

The question arises, how come if it's completely outside the mind

grasp, her mind is writing about it? Mind must get some

kind of intimation for it to talk about the Divine. And why use the

word knowledge if it has nothing to do with mind?

I am not trying to find a word for anything. All words are like the

word " two " . I can say " I have two arms " , but there is no " two "

without the arms. I cannot meaningfully say: " I have two " . Two what?

The number two is not found anywhere existing by itself. So of course

there can never be any word for the infinite. The words " infinite "

or " totality " or " Source " or " God " are words, and as all words they

are only pointers.

The " what is is " is a pointer to universal acceptance.

All this pointing to what is is of course only a game within what is.

Nothing needs to be done. All is happening by itself. There is no

doer involved anywhere. You are seeking for meaning, when the meaning

is right in your face! Always. And even this seeking is no 'you'

doing the seeking. You are not doing yourself. The universe is.

What is is, and 'that' is changeless I believe. How can the

changeless go away?
