Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 This morning in meditation my mind was the thoughts that made my hands write. The words " Nothing is because I AM " could not stop my hands: The day I started to meditate I figured that I was not the thoughts that I was observing. I was not my mind. When I started to observe my thoughts they went wild. My mind acted like a spoiled-child that had everything running the way it wanted for over 50 years. The day I observed my mind go wild with its thoughts was the day that changed everything. That was the day life started turning into a dream. When I figured that my mind had been the police, judge, expert- witnesses and jury to literally everything it thinks it knows – truths, lies, gods and demons, dreams and reality – that day I smelled a putrid skunk. To turn life into a dream all I had to do is use my mind to find Holes in its " realities " – after three years there are nothing but Holes. Some of the best holes physics calls black-holes. In a dream the subject, verb and object is one and the same: The Dreamer is the dreaming and everything in the dream. Advaita, Krishna, tells us that the " reality " our mind creates is exactly like a dream. Reality is Consciousness, Awareness in which everything is the SAME – EXACTLY like a dream, because it is a dream. Thoughts -- which are Nothing , but thoughts -- fools us into thinking otherwise. Thoughts, our mind, fools us into thinking that we are " two-feet for the ground and a head for the clouds. " Once I no longer took my mind and its dreams seriously – because it was a dream – I Realized that I was THAT. Without a mind telling me that it was two-feet-and-one-head I figured out that I had to be Consciousness, THAT. Without a mind telling me otherwise I am the dreamer of literally everything that has been and will be imagined. I am Arjuna and Krishna … I am the pupil and also his inner and outer Guru. And because I am both OM and Krishna -- and literally everything else in MY dream – I created all the gods, and devils, and I keep all their universes suspended on a single thread of my being. That is the only way dreams, Advaita, can work. The joke is that if YOU too can turn the dream you call your mind, thoughts, from feet-and-head into Holes (preferably black-holes) then you too will also Realize that you too are THAT, the Author of this and literally everything else that has been written. Today when my mind starts to think about police, judge and juries I quickly shut it up with: Nothing Is because I AM. =-= Nothing is real because I AM the only Reality = Advaita.

Any identity is in the realm of mind and conceptuality. You just got a new face, rather a new mask. The dreamer knowing himself dreaming, is an important step, but the alarm clock hasn't rung yet. Or so it seems. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
