But then it is strange (is it not blabla, shut up Lene) that the source, the ground, the nothing before - and after - the something (to be conscious is to know I am) hasn't ever been seen by anyone anywhere anytime. Have you read what's his name, oh, son of Per? Hm ... Michael Newton? People in deeep hypnosis report from the life between lives. They have of course been guided to the place by MN not to forget. Anyways - they all keep talking about God and also about the annoying - even to the dead it is annoying - ROFLOL fact that they cannot get to see him there God Almighty, whom they have prayed to and praised all of their lives, but he is nowhere to be seen, he wont appear & show his face, the queer son of a ... biiiirrrd. Oh sorry - dont know what hit me there - boom crash - it came it went - it is gone - I never said that - didn't recognse it when reading it - no - is true actually - no joking Perhaps I am stalling because not know what to say to the bit on consciousness - it sounds like something heard-said before Consciousness = to be conscious is to know one is. But that doesn't mean that one is not when there is no knowing it. Is all I can say. There is no ground, only being which is non-being; being is not grounded, it is ground-less like I said it a while back. Be-ing is what is or " what is " . Being is ground free. It does not come from or disappear into or merge with or becoming one with etc a ground, a source, a foundation. Life being, existance is itself the foundation and the building on the foundation and all the stores in the building, including the basement and whats under the basement and over the roof etc Its not resting on some mysterious invisible secret, some other not-ever-showing its face - source with an S. Just babbling away here, is she, this new-born atheist with no ground under her feet and no ceiling above her head. LOL ... > That is unmoved, unchanging, non-manifest, quality-less, > unknowable....nonetheless ever-present potentiality of all. Contemplation. Sorry, but this sounds like not quite right to me; am I being polite or what? Lol ... You are not operating in the field of one - only in the field of duality. You say there is 1. ground - and 2. consciousness. I want to hear you say & show me that the two are one and the same (because they are). Hey - Bohm developped a theory on order -- where the order was the same order - enfolded and unfolding - yet one and the same order. I am not an expert - no need to say that - order in its enfolded form is in-visible - order unfolding is the visible - the perceived.

Keep haunting me if you want in contact - otherwise I just read the last five messages, and reply to the odd one or two/read no messages at all, simply deliver, and go away. As a matter of fact I am on my way away now. What can I say to you? There is not anything beyond any story ever told - there is only the story ever told. I know it is dreadful, but I find it wonderful. Its only the seekers that find it dreadful as they will something else than what is but what is/ " what is " is " what they get " - there is not anything else. I've been in the business for a long time, Pete - and by the way many a message of urs Ive enjoyed and found to the point over the yrs, even been so cheeky as to steal one or two and post them over at the J_K's. In a recent post you wrote something about the only reality being the ever changing - and that is what I say as well. I maintain that although it is - exists - happens - appears it vanishes and / or changes into something un-recognisable before it can be named and labelled and so it is IMpossible to state for sure that anything happened at all. So - what thought names and labels and chits and chats about and is part of is a house built on images which is the story ever told, because those images is all there is - and images are, at least in JK's terminology and Niz' too I believe not the real stuff. JK operates with something he calls the Real or the Sacred and Niz operates with a certain Awareness/That all of which is BEYOND the fathomable or thinkable, the this and the that - beyond duality; and it comes to when the this ses and the thats have been negated, denied or " seen " as not being " who I am " - the Real Self " - " the Real " - " Awareness " et al. I deny that. And that is interesting - to me at least ha ha. One must be cleverer than one's gurus; otherwise one has not learnt anything ) There cannot be a this - and a beyond this - and at the same time talking about one being the world. This and beyond this - is a twosome. And as for Niz' That: it is simply the input which is the output. There is no watching anything - what is is the doing and the watching the doing - is everything like said I say and maintain that the unreality is is the only reality there is. I also maintain that this one reality is not for real in the sense of being solid - for it is totally transparent - it is totally like steam in the bathroom after the shower. It cannot be grasped. It vanishes in the hands and the hands vanish with it - only nothing is there -- in its purest form it is no form. What seemed solid, appeared to be transparent. That is hocus-pocus. That is illusion. Substance is illusory. What I am after is non-division - stop dividing. See that all is one and one is all and at the 'end of the day' it is clear that nothing happened. Thanks.

Nice way to put it. Is there something that is not a story? actually there are no " things " at all. not even a " some " thing. now however.. if we are to take " story " to mean.. (among non-meaning " things " to consider.. by nonexistent " considerers " ): a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms.. at a single position along a vertical scale. well then geoparado.. there exists in this nonexistent place..a place that is not a story. it's name by " correct " nomenclature is " mezzanine " . which is by simple implication.. an intermediate floor just above the ground floor.. and not actually (by correct nomenclature) a " story " of itself. this is why we must have proper nomenclature.. among friends and lovers.. and nonexistent others. it's the proper stuff you know old boy. of course we could just forget about a " mezzanine " .. and instead call this non-story story.. an entresol. which could be considered proper nomenclature too. but that's a different story which is anything but. so how are you going to learn anything by not reading baba? :-) ..b b.b.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 > Get owta here! Really? > > What is sanka? > > -Lola but there's nowhere to go. and this here too is nowhere Lola. so it would sort of be like going from here to here. not many travel thrills there. " Sanka " tastes like sick pig piss. don't ask me how i know what sick pig piss tastes like.. it's a long story and as dirty as a pig sty. it's name is derived from the French: " sans caféine " .. translated to English as " without caffeine " . and when i think about the last time someone gave me Sanka.. i've got to admit i was wrong in the above comparison. sick pig piss has a much better flavor and the aroma is better too. actually it's outstanding. it's like standing out in that filthy pig sty truth be told. but who the hell ever tells the truth? now..who's your daddy? :-) ..b b.b.

That was pete. you have an inferiority complex. you are fearful of being mistook as someone else. you have every right in the world to feel inferior. you are inferior to whoever that someone else may be. no maybe 'bout that. yes geoparado.. you are RIGHT! hoo hoo hoo. ..b b.b.
