Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Are there anyone else other than me who thinks that the 'Absolute' Nisargadatta talks about seems a bit spooky? I get the feeling that the Absolute is some Nirvana where nothing happens. Sounds pretty dreadful! /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's complete unknowing. Is it not that better? It's only while the body lives that change and the possibility of its opposite can be known.

In that case maybe the Absolute is just a home base for beingness that can express itself as phenomena when it wants to. If the Absolute is a dead end, then how can there be a phenomenal world in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifestation is a happening that is not happening to " you/the Absolute. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifestation is a happening that is not happening to > " you/the Absolute. " I think manifestation is an ever ongoing unfolding of complexity. In the Absolute which I see as infinite potential of everything, there exists a configuration that is the seed of this universe. That is my speculation at the moment. I cannot die. I am infinite complexity unfolding, and I will continue to do so because that's my nature. Infinite adventure and entertainment. That's my game. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my speculation at the moment. devi: sounds good to me I cannot die. devi: i agree I am infinite complexity unfolding, and I will continue to do so because that's my nature. devi: propable > Infinite adventure and entertainment.

That's what makes it fun (and a nightmare sometimes [there could probably be only one nightmare and it could possible be infinite long, but one of the characteristics of a nightmare is that one always wakes up]). :-] /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
