Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi all, I'm suffring a lot, at this very moment. I'm completly lost in God. And he is killing me physicly with his presence, Samadhi. I can't stand it anymore (truly). I asked God to show me more and more until the final awakening Nirvana. But now I see that this light is too powerfoul to be sustained, at least by me. Please understand that I can't stand it anymore. I have to clean my laundry, clean the dishes for Christ sake! Meaning for the love of Christ. Every single thing is God!! I neeeedddd to escape it!! but " I Am That. So I can't!! :0( UNIVERSAL TEACHINGS OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA SEE GOD IN ALL I have now come to a stage of realization in which I see that God is walking in every human form and manifesting Himself alike through the sage and the sinner, the virtuous and the vicious. Therefore when I meet different people I say to myself, " God in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous. " GOD IS WITHIN YOU Do you know what I see? I see Him as all. Men and other creatures appear to me only as hollow forms, moving their heads and hands and feet, but within is the Lord Himself. PERSEVERE IN YOUR SEARCH FOR GOD There are pearls in the deep sea, but one must hazard all to find them. If diving once does not bring you pearls, you need not therefore conclude that the sea is without them. Dive again and again. You are sure to be rewarded in the end. So is it with the finding of the Lord in this world. If your first attempt proves fruitless, do not lose heart. Persevere in your efforts. You are sure to realize Him at last. TRUST COMPLETELY IN GOD What are you to do when you are placed in the world? Give up everything to Him, resign yourself to Him, and there will be no more trouble for you. Then you will come to know that everything is done by His will. LOVE OF GOD IS ESSENTIAL Unalloyed love of God is the essential thing. All else is unreal.

Anyone who feeds you will be your best friend. Such is the way of us humans,,,and of course,,,stray cats and dogs. If you can get you're love met outside of yourself, then great. How can you get your love bucket filled? What choices could be made for that to take place within your experience? Find out what it is and then get pro-active and do it. in caring and sharing, ~*~ Donny Alberto my beloved. I do love you very much? Do you know it? I don't really use a stick of any kind - zen or otherwise. I speak what comes to me and if people get hit on the head then they are hitting themselves on their head with their own stick. Why do you need to escape " it " . oh, I know what you mean by " it " the farther one goes into that light, the harder it is to come back, and the harder it can be to live in the human world of laundry and bathing. We're here because we're experiencing the results, the karma, of that which we created and put in motion a long time ago. The cause and effect. If you can swing you're pendulum a little more into a specifically directed emotional place it might make your journey a little less unbearable. Right now your at the mercy of random emotion, because you run from it, deny it, while you chant that it is illusion and all is no-thing in the sadhana state. See, it comes back to you to claim it, and all the running won't do that. Because by saying something is " illusion " you are in fact denying that the illusion itself is a part of YOU, your creation, therefore it is " something " . Aah, the divine dichotomy strikes. When You truly *know* it is illusion, then you understand how to work with it. Then you can direct it at will and channel what you want consciously. You have made emotion and thought into almost a dirty thing, a swear word if you will. Now it comes back to you so you can understand the nature behind it. When we become so attached to focusing on the mantra that illusion isn't real, and therefore I must rid myself of it like a nasty plague, then we must also understand that absolutely nothing exists anywhere, then there is really nothing to rid yourself of. Only to understand more consciously. And then you get to direct and channel the " illusion " in a way that gives you your desired results. By denying and running from it you have already subconsciously labeled the human experience as " bad " not so good, or at least not as good as being in the ultimate " no thing " sadhana state. You are attached to a result. You are attached to detachment. So, the mysery comes back, the pain and depression of mundane tasks so it can be owned and embraced as part of itself. Why? because you've spent 15 years trying to run from it, cut it off, kill it, deny it. Instead of feeling the feelings attached to your current focus of attention, which is the running from thought into no-thought, (this creates the unhappiness you're experiencing now) you may want to experiment with feeling the feelings attached to flowing in the human experience at this moment. ...and at this moment.... feel the feeling " " underneathe " " the body now at this moment... and now again, the feeling " " underneathe " " the human experience. Focus on feeling the ***love*** that brought you here to it. Focus on feeling the love underneathe the moments of laundry. But to do that you really have to claim the illusion as part of who you are. Part of a choice that isn't bad, but good. By saying this illusion should be denied it is basically saying that the choice that created it (you and original energy) is bad. By doing so you are now creating a split which is why you still view human functions as a separate negative thing. The negative feeling belies the fact. You haven't got conscious creation becasue you wish to deny " it " the negative and run from it " the altered " because there is a truth somewhere that " it " is an illusion and therefore not real. Do not confuse " not real and Illusion " with non-duality. In seeking towards non duality people push away the very part of the thing that wasn't duel in the first place,,,therefore the weird mind bender then follows,,, how could it be illusion if is non dual in the first place. Something can still be illusion and still be non-duality. When one understands that illusion is NOT duality at all, that's when consciousness can have an oppotunity to come more into play. Then, rather then running from part of you that is illusion, you see that it was you all along, just waiting to be accepted. Then you direct things consciously through understanding and your choice follows the understanding. Instead of tapping into the down/blue feeling, tap into the up/joy feeling. that requires an embracing of all that you are... that includes the illusion AND the non-illusion. It is ALL you. Why run from it like it's a diseace. It's this lack of embracing that is causing your dis-ease **dis-EASE**. {Not being at ease.} Your almost there sweetheart, your almost there. But can you put down the boat you were travelling in and pick up another? A man wanted to get to the other side of the river and explore the fields beyond. He got in his boat. The river was rougher then he thought and it took him quite awhile to get to the shore. The boat had been his life saver, the only thing keeping him afloat on the water, the only thing keeping him from drowning. He got to the shore but couldn't let go of his boat. He stayed in the boat, but the waves slapped at the boat and started to draw it back into the river. He was married to/attached to the boat and couldn't let go of it. He was left to float aimlessly in the river dying of starvation. Interesting how the very thing that helped him on one leg of his journey became the very albatross around his neck that finally killed him on the other leg of the journey. The morrow of the story is........ what are you married to and why? What are you attached to? An attachment to a particular method of detachment can be a very difficult thing to detect. Let go of the boat, and find another method of transportation. You can't use a boat to cross dry land. Your method has served you, now let go of it and open to something different... or not... it's your choice, and so are the results of your choice. in deep caring and sharing, ~*~ Donny 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hi Donny, I am not sure if you are talking to me since what you had quoted above was from Alberto. You are talking about love. I am so full of love you could not believe, I am love. This kind of love that you are talking about has been replaced by another love, much more valuable, a long time ago. It is not emptiness which causes my fear. I am as full as one can be. Friends... everybody is my friend whom I meet along the way. I dont have or need a best friend but God. Myself I have surrendered to a master, many years ago. Only one who did this can understand what this means. Alberto is not what you " think " he is, Devendra is not what you " think " he is, you are not what you " think " you are. The helplessness behind my words is, that there are no words to express " this " . Nobody can take somebody on his boat. Because there is no river, there is no boat, nothing to cross. Look after yourself, you are a beautiful person. Dont talk to Alberto or Devendra, they are not here. Dont get cought in speculations about others. You have so much more to give. And dont expect the mind from others to be consistent... how can mind be consistent? Its very nature is unconsistency. We would not be here without Nisargadatta. If you want to understand what he meant with " I am " you have to listen to him. " I am that " was just the title of his most famous book. Forget " that " . Forget the others. The only, ...only! ... thing that you can call " relatively consistent " is that every morning when you wake up there starts a sense of " I am " ... " I exist " . Everything else which comes next is already pure madness. To stay with this " I am " is the way of master Nisargadatta. Stay with " I am " and become open like a house with open windows. Become like a tree, taking everything as it comes: wind, heat, rain, snow... and still stay there as a tree, graceful. Nothing more is needed. Love Stefan " The me and the mine may be small, or may explode and embrace the universe, but love remains. " Nis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may realise God trought Bhakti Yoga. Love of God. Vivekananda wrote: Love is beyond time and space, it is absolute. Vivekananda, So, Vivekananda's lovers what about that? :0) My master died for mankind! Jesus is the name of my lord and my God. His Holy spirit showed me everything! Taught me what I know and I'm soo pleased. Then what else? So what! Sat-chit-ananda. Love-bliss and perfect communion with truth and Reality. He is the master of masters. He is the supreme! God of gods! I kneel before he! Is that clear enough Donny! Love God, love Jesus and receive his holy spirit! Alberto, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" > Nis ************************************** Love is beyond time and space, it is absolute. Vivekananda Hi Achileas, You are using your sword! you are truly using it! ) Soon Stefan, you will overcome bla bla bla, overcome thinking and even while thinking you will understand better and better. You cannot clean something with a dirty clothes. The dirty clothes are the thinking process. Get rid of it! It stinks!! ha ha ha! :0) People in general don't want to do so because they " think " they can't or even get scared. You need to understand what you are not , Neti, Neti not this not that! to finaly embrase that you are all. The Spirit in you, Jesus Christ, God, lives for ever and ever! everything " is " because " That " The holy Spirit lives. A leg is not a leg. It is flesh, bones etc. energy, etc. so when it is seen you comes back again to the bones, the leg and you are reading this posting, Understood! If you were only thinking you absolutely could not get out of you thoughts! But you can because you are not the thoughts. Your being is much more complex! it is as simple as that! You are also emotions. Emotions are not thoughts in the sense of thoughts! You don't think Love. You fall in Love. (even if you say it is a thought, it is not the same level of the regular thinking process) You cannot say Ok! tomorrow I will fall in Love!) this is not true Love, this is one manipulating ones self! So bloodiest warrior! :0) The ignorance is fading away, hein! And you are there and always will! hi hi hi! Surrender every thing to God, Jesus. You will see! He is there with you. Alberto, Leaving soon! :0) Love, P.S. Achileas, don't think the Pete man has not understood a thing (not meaning that you thinks that) just for the fun of the talk! he understood quit a lot, but he sometimes forget where he has come from and argues with you guys. Pete; Love!! Alberto, Crazy monkey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it all along. And I decide what degrees and depths to experience. Isn't that the message behind non-duality? how could I lose love of God or god's love sense - if all is " god " and All is " Love " . If it's absolute? That's just a lot of fear talking. Love has many faces. Even sadness is love, sacrifice can be love. Fear; like love, can have many purposes, functions and faces. Of course whatever we assign to it. There in lies the key. I'm compiling a response to you which will go into more detail, but I'm having trouble finding the words to describe, so it's so much detail, turning out to be very, very, very long, and very, very repetitive because the more I write the harder it is to fit it into coherent words. (can I also use the excuse that I'm a woman? Lol.) So, I'll see if it's finished maybe tomorrow or the next day. Would you do me a favor. Would you be able to get(download or something) the song by Gordon Lightfoot, called " anything for love " off his East of Midnight Album. Sometimes pawn shops might carry it - it's an old recording. I'd like you to hear the song because it goes hand in hand with my message, if I ever get it finished. Thanks Devendra didn't show up for his wedding. I see you're sticking around for yours. We can't have a wedding without the groom! : ^ ) in caring and sharing, ~*~ Donny 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
