Guest guest Posted June 8, 1999 Report Share Posted June 8, 1999 Absolute consciousness just IS. It cannot be qualified or quantified. It is BEING, perfect and pure, transcendant of Time and Space. " Evolution " can only " exist " in Time. " Matter " only appears to change through the lens of Time. Through Time matter appears to " evolve " from one point to another, as if it were coming from a " past " and progressing to a " future " . " Past " and " future " are but concepts, and in truth exist simultaneously if at all. Absolute consciousness, as the ground of our BEING, is beyond change (change, again, being detectable only through Time and Space). AWARENESS, however, can (and does) appear to grow, expand, and evolve until the realization and experience of I AM THAT I AM. Then past and future melt away, " evolution " is seen as another choice bit of maya, and the moment is ever NOW. When gazing at a mandala, one could say that the colors, shapes, and forms evolve into different patterns as one goes from the center to the outside (or vice versa). Yet in truth they are all part of NOW, and any change depends upon the perspective. As long as one says " Yes, that is well and good, but we live in the 3rd dimension (home of Space and Time), this is a dualistic realm and we can't avoid it, we must struggle to grow and realize our Oneness with All " , they are embracing a self-created prison sometimes known as Ignorance. The Ashtavakra Gita, amongst other things, is a great key to the truth and freedom of BEING. om tat sat, Thomas ******************************************************* " WE ARE EACH OUR OWN PATH " +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ find yourself at the Arcanta website... http://www.arcanta.com __ NAMASTE Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
