Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 " When pure awareness is attained, no need exists any more, not even for `I am', which is but a useful pointer, a direction-indicator towards the Absolute. The awareness `I am' then easily ceases. What prevails is that which cannot be described, that which is beyond words. It is this `state' which is most real, a state of pure potentiality, which is prior to everything. The `I am' and the universe are mere reflections of it. It is this reality which a jnani has realised. " -- from the forward to " I Am That " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yes, " I am " is of time. There is no time. No time, no " I " - just this great aloneness of being.

In relation to objectivity, 'it' is pure subjectivity. In relation to subjectivity, it is neither subjectivity nor objectivity. But 'it' is not actually in relation to anything. And so, nothing is said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeless, effortless flow of emptiness. Nothing ever entering or leaving. Nothing remembered, so no content. Indescribable freedom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
