Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 The Nondual Mind Well, I've studied ancient and not so ancient scriptures, and eventually, I absorbed so much information into my brain, that there's hardly room for more, ... Anyway. Finally, I concluded, that in order to live the nondual life, I would need to assimilate every other mind into my own. For if there is and exists another mind in this world, beside mine, it would be my dualisitc mind, mine and the other, but for the nondual approach, there is no other. So I assimilated every other mind, and declared it to be my own. I declared the minds of my teachers to be my own, I declared the minds of everyone, alien, deads, robots, machines, plants, insects, animals, whatever, I declared all these minds to be my minds. Wait, there is a problem. My mind is now completely nondual, because it incorporates everything, the entire creation, even the mind of god. But I still have a problem. For more than one of my minds, still thinks dualistic. It's not directly my mind, it is one of the minds that I assimilated, one of my subminds, in fact most of my submins think dualistic, most of them don't even know that they are part of my nondual overmind. And still, they are part of my mind, like my finger is a part of me. So what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So > what? as long as there is a 'you' who has this or any other 'problem' there will be a 'so what?'. as long as 'meaning' has any 'value' for 'you' so what? as long as 'you' 'believe' that there is a difference between duality and non-duality so what? me me me me me me meeeeeeeeeeee.... uh...that's gotta go. so what? ..b b.b.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well, I take it as if this was directed towards me, and yes, I think there is a difference between your awareness and mine, ... for my awareness includes yours, while your awareness excludes mine. and if that's not the case, this message is simply not directed towards you.

'you' are not. 'i' am not. all that talk about 'your' awareness including 'mine' and 'mine' excluding 'yours' is a bunch of claptrap. 'you' possess nothing. true awareness would have nothing to do with 'you'. that's 'your' problem. there are no special 'cases'. every sentient being is the same same same . illusory. if you really think that 'you' 'have' an 'awareness' that is different than 'others'...you are a vainglorious 'self'-deluded phantom wisp. with no hope or actuality. and that self that's deluded isn't for real anyway. so no big deal. unless you feel compelled to defend your 'self' in some way. good luck with that nonsense. you won't get any satisfaction for that freaked out disorientation. not from the baba. ..b bobji baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
