Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 With the end of a sense of separation, and realization of our Oneness... we disappear as an individual. But to end the story here is to buy into an impoverished philosophy. We do not become " no one " - as in the neo-advaita speak that blathers on about " no one to experience the enlightenment " . That ivory tower impoverished view topples as soon as they speak or write. Awakening to Oneness is a beautiful episode in life, but the story, for those so graced, does not end there. The Oneness realization is stage one...and.. beyond the realization of Oneness is Stage Two: Enlightenment. Here, instead of there being no one to experience our Oneness, there is an Enlightened One with an entirely new identity. Yes, the individual personality as we once knew is " gone " or more precisely, relegated to a secondary, reflective identity (which it always was, but now we realize it) and our " new " primary identity as Awakened AND Enlightened Consciousness experiences Oneness - within the very form of God: Love. (One of my favorite Ramana expressions.) We " experience " bliss, freedom from fear and doubt, an unassailable certainly of who we are: loved, love and lover all in One. Kindness and compassion overflow. I'll resist the urge to blather on. With Overflowing Love, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secret There is the simple world, This creation. It hints to something. Follow the hints boldly, Seek. Ask. Enquire. Naked, Abandoning all selfishness Dive deeply within. See the whole creation Hidden in the secret And the secret in creation. You are the nameless, boundless sea! _()_ gratefully, yosy ps. (apparently!)* - since in truth there is no creation nor dissolution, and no self; only this inexplicable timeless all containing unity. alhamdulillah! "truth is something that i never said, nor would i" (mulla nasrudin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
