" Awareness " is a term that Maurice Frydman used when translating Nisargadatta's talks in " I Am That " . Ramesh says that Maharaj always said that all there is is consciousness. Ramesh would say that consciousness at rest and consciousness in motion is the Totality. The original state is consciousness at rest. When the potential energy of consciousness at rest actualizes then it is consciousness in motion. " Awareness " is an unnecessary and confusing concept according to Ramesh.

(and not from an outside position ...) The energy movement is the attention, is the awareness. It is all that is. Meditation is like a door, that once opened and walked through is not needed. Meditation is just the breaking free from a past that was imagined to have a hold. Energy movement is stillness is what it is - requires and involves no meditation, no thought, no intentionality.

However consciousness at rest implies the potentiality that is consciousness in motion. Unconsciousness does not maintain that potentiality of consciousness to actualize its power.

Here is how I see it now: a computer on my desk. no fingers typing. Just a finger about to hit " send. " A fairly bright glow of light through the shade on my window. Wait, it's ten second later.

And this " nothing " turns the scenario inside out. What was outside the organism is its inside. What was inside the organism is not. Suddenly, no inside or outside. And from whence is this perception (which is just this immediate perception as it is) being perceived? Where is the observer? Nowhere, everywhere, nothing, all - these terms fall to the wayside, meaningless. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Awareness " is a term that Maurice Frydman used when translating Nisargadatta's talks in " I Am That " . Ramesh says that Maharaj always said that all there is is consciousness. Ramesh would say that consciousness at rest and consciousness in motion is the Totality. The original state is consciousness at rest. When the potential energy of consciousness at rest actualizes then it is consciousness in motion. " Awareness " is an unnecessary and confusing concept according to Ramesh. > > > > P: I agree with Ramesh regarding awareness, but > > consciousness at rest is another useless term. > > Consciousness at rest is the same as unconsciousness, > > so why not call it that?

However consciousness at rest implies the potentiality that is consciousness in motion. Unconsciousness does not maintain that potentiality of consciousness to actualize its power. All of this is just concepts. So whatever floats your boat. P: Yes concepts are not important. What is important is when perceiving is enough in itself. A perceiving that is complete, not seeking a different content, or its own perpetuation. Then it brings a sense of infinity without duration that is peace itself.

And this " nothing " turns the scenario inside out. What was outside the organism is its inside. What was inside the organism is not. Suddenly, no inside or outside. And from whence is this perception (which is just this immediate perception as it is) being perceived? Where is the observer? Nowhere, everywhere, nothing, all - these terms fall to the wayside, meaningless. - D - I dont go through the inside-outside thing. Suddenly there is no inside at all - which is the same as no outside at all...all at the same side -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
