Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 SamT7: thank you for taking the time to write your response. I do like your name: ~NO-ME~ On the other hand, if there is NO ME then what is there to witness? NO THING? No thing is a rather dull thing to witness. Try it. Within moments the witness will conjure up SOME thing so it has Something to witness. That's what the witness does. It is not separate from this NO-me/NOthing thing which is what many would like to separate it out. Making it sound like the Witness is actually something as in SELf (separated) as opposed to this me thing which is non-existent. ~NO-ME~:PLEASE KNOW THAT WITHIN ALL LIVING ORGANISM, THERE ARE MANY INDEPENDENT ORGANISM, FUNCTIONED THE WAY THEY ARE PROGRAMMED TO FUNCTION. samT7: Would that be the " me " that is the " no " me? oh, it is a highly complicated program we play among eh? When one pulls apart each part of the program it appears to make ~NO~SENSE~ And yet the mind is aptly programmed to try to make sense of it, somehow. So it neatly puts it in lots of different categories. Irregardless of whether or not some " thing " exists....quite honestly, it exhausts me just trying to think of it all. I just play the game. But it's this suffering that causes one to concoct all these programs and ideas so to rid oneself of the " no " me that appears to be causing it while still staying in something of the Self (the witness?). All the while saying that all of it truly is a dream like illusion. I play the dream but why the need for the fancy ideas and ideals to wrap around it. ah yes, to rid oneself of the suffering. Ana there is a poem in this and I can feel it coming on. Ana, you will write a lovely poem yet again discussing this need to bring the no me and the me self and the what nots into an embrace. Maybe even embrace the suffering a little eh? The suffering you hide behind from the frilly words of bliss and love. Why NO-Me would you care to witness something that by your own reference isn't even there or not existent (sorry I can't remember the exact phrase you use?) Perhaps nome you mean this: Realizing my supreme self-nature in the Person of the Witness, and the state of desirelessness in bondage or liberation, I feel no inclintion for liberation. Ashtavagita For,,,,what is there to liberate from? if there is no-me or no-you or no ________ fill in the blank. Still, if there's nothing to witness then what becomes of the *Witness.* Creation continues irregardless of it's nature (suffering or non-suffering or a multitude of grey area) b/c it is a part of this witness, not something separate, and one persons suffering and pain is another persons bliss. Just ask Ana.

WHEN MEDITATING WITH A PERSONAL DOERSHIP, THAT IS THE " YOU " IS DOING IT, OR THE BODY-MIND ORGANISM IS DOING. IN TRUTH, THE REAL, " I " MUST NOT ASSOCIATE ITSELF WITH THE BODY-MIND ORGANISM, DURING MEDITATION PRACTICE. MEDITATION IS DONE. THERE IS NOBODY MEDITATING ON ANYTHING. SHOULD THE PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT IN MEDITATION IS OCCURED, THE BODY-MIND ORGANISM TAKES THE LEAD, AS SUPPOSE THE SELF, AS A RESULT, MORE PHYSICAL SUFFERING OCCURS, WHEN EXPERIENCING THE ENERGY. OF COURSE, SENSES CAN ONLY EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE BODY-MIND ORGANISM. WHILE THE BODY IS STILL LIVING, IF EXPERIENCES OF THE SELF OCCUR, THEY WILL ONLY BE REGISTERED THROUGH MEMORIES. ALL THAT WE DO IN MEDITATION IS BALANCING THE ENERGY LEVEL THROUGHOUT THE PHYSICAL BODY, TO PROPER FUNCTION ALL DIFFERENT ORGANISM. PLEASE KNOW THAT WITHIN ALL LIVING ORGANISM, THERE ARE MANY INDEPENDENT ORGANISM, FUNCTIONED THEY WAY THEY ARE PROGRAMMED TO FUNCTION. > THE REAL JOB OF THE SELF OR THE ENERGY IS TO PROPERLY RESPOND OR REACT TO THE NEEDS OF ALL THESE LIVING ORANISM, DIFFERENT PARTS, IF YOU WILL. IF THERE IS TOO MUCH OF THIS ENERGY FOCUSED ON ONE LOCATION OF THE BODY PARTS, DAMAGES ARE DEFINITELY UNAVOIDABLE. EVEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE!! THAT IS WHY ONE MUST NOT MEDITATE WHEN THE MIND IS NOT READY, OTHERWISE, ONE IS GOING THROUGH WHAT IS CALLED, " SELF-HYNOSIS " . ONE MUST NOT BE FOOLED BY THE INTELLECTUALS OF THE MIND, WHICH IS LEARNED AND ADAPTED. BUT UPON THE END OF THIS BODY-MIND ORGANISM, WHAT IS THERE TO BE REMEMBERED? SOONER OR LATER, WHEN ONE IS READY, THE MIND-BODY ORGANISM WILL SURRENDER TO THIS ENERGY, OUR REAL SELF! > > PERSONAL OR IMPERSONAL THAT DEPENDS ON THE INVOLVEMENT OF ONE'S MIND. IF IT'S IMPERSONAL, IT MEANS LIBERATION, ELSE IT'S BONDAGE. THESE CONCEPTS MAKE PERFECT SENSE. ONE MUST FIND THE *WHO* THAT DOES NOT SEE THIS POINT. " IMPERSONAL " REFERS TO THE MANIFESTATION AND TOTALITY, WHICH IS UNIVERSAL. SOMETHING IS DONE (IMPERSONAL). I DO IT (PERSONAL).

" > > ALWAYS KNOW THAT THE MIND CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT ONE'S CONSCIOUSNESS. IT'S THIS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS OUR TRUE NATURE TO BALANCE THE ENERGY AMONG THE BODY'S CHAKRA POINTS. AGAIN THIS IS ALSO MERE CONCEPT. THE ENRGY IS ALL AROUND US. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE ARE INSIDE THE VACCUM OF THE FIELD OFENERGY. WHY DON'T WE KNOG? EYES CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES. WE ARE THAT. THE MIND HAS NO BASE OF ITSELF. THE MIND IS LEARNED. IT'S THIS MIND THAT SHUTDOWN THE EXPERIENCE OF THE KUNDALINI WAKEUP. IT'S LL CONDITIONED THROUGH THE SAMSAKARA (PREDISPOSITION).

THERE IS LACK OF SOMEBODY TO WITNESS IT. IT IS THE SAME SIMPLE CONCEPT WITH ENLIGHTENMENT, WHICH IS ALWAYS HERE AND NOW. THE MOMENT, ONE STOPS SEEKING, IT IS THERE. BUT SOON WHEN IT IS BEING SOUGHT, IT IS VANISHED. THE TRUTH OR ENLIGHTENMENT CAN ONLY HAPPEN...! A POINT OF LIFE: IS MERE CONCEPT INVENTED BY THE MIND TO DELAY OR POSTPONE THE JOURNEY TO THE FUTURE. THERE IS NO SUCH A THING CALLED A POINT OR CIRCLE OF LIFE, ETC...! IT IS ALL INVENTED BY INTELLECTUALS. BUT WHAT A GREAT CONCEPT, IF IT HELPS THOSE WHO ARE SEARCHING FIND THIS SOLUTION, WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT SAMSARA OVER AND OVER, AND LIVE WITH LESS SUFFERING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE...! > > WE DO HAVE OUR PARTS IN MANY THINGS THAT WE DO WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. > > PEACE! > > ~NO-ME~ > ** > > If you do not wish to receive individual emails, to change your subscription, sign in with your ID and go to Edit My Groups: > > /mygroups?edit=1 > > Under the Message Delivery option, choose " No Email " for the Nisargadatta group and click on Save Changes. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
