going back into impersonality

[Guest guest]

.... Therefore, what has appeared is merely a kind of reflection of that basic

ground, call it Consciousness-at-rest, God, or whatever. Seeing the oneness, not

only in the manifestation but the oneness between the manifest and the

unmanifest, is all that is really meant by enlightenment. Once the individual

thinks in terms of his individuality, forgetting this oneness, not only between

the manifest and the unmanifest, but the manifestation as a whole, then he

begins to think in terms of personal security. Once he begins to think in terms

of personal security, he creates any number of problems for himself. So, at that

level, the first step in the understanding of the individual is the fact that

there can be no such thing as security for the individual, that movement and

change are the very basis of life and living. Therefore, in seeking security, he

is seeking something which just doesn't exist. That understanding is the

beginning of understanding life, and through the understanding of life, to go

back into impersonality. ...

If what he says is true....and I believe it is......it would also have

to pertain to the one who believes that he understands what Ramesh says.

 

When the understanding is applied to the one who understands.......the

most amazing thing happens:

 

Common Sense is awakened and the understanding is given to he who

already understands and you has what's 'known' at Tim Horton's in

Canada as a Double-Double. and everyone here knows what that means.

 

all things creamy and sweet,

 

all things impersonal,

 

are swallowed in one single potation of the 'hot brew'

 

and heaven is earth

 

and thy cup shall never be empty again.

 

for both cup and imbiber are GONE.............
