Guest guest Posted May 12, 2000 Report Share Posted May 12, 2000 Hi dear friends, :-) I don't know if anyone will relate to what I am going to share now. I really like the Ramesh Balsekar quote below because increasingly I am seeing that soul means there is only One Soul, (Universal Being) . I know we talk a lot about 'Being' & I guess we presume it means 'personal self' somehow .. I feel it is not actually any individual 'self' rather it is the whole (the All) as it is perceived through our personal eyes ~ (In the act of seeing ~ the whole world is born ~ from within the Seer ...) ~ "What prevents the natural interpenetration between the individual and the outer world is fear, and fear alone - the horror of being gobbled up and totally annihilated by the ever-present specter of death. But when the whole panorama of manifestation, including the one who experiences it, is seen to be but a mirror-imaging in consciousness of the subjective REALITY, where is death or anyone to fear it? ... Seeking the source of the "me" does not mean replacing one set of thoughts for another but getting rid of all thoughts by fixing the attention on that Self which is the constant presence behind the mind." ~ Ramesh Balsekar 'A Net of Jewels'." ~ This same One (World Soul ~ Impersonal God) it seems to me .. looks out of your eyes & mine (animals eyes .. too). We are each & every one of us, This One (Being). Sure I am a personalised expression of That. And as such I honour my own personal Self identity. These last few months have seen me learn that the personality isn't real, it is a constructed mask which we try to love through .... But even when expansions come through dying to the mask ~ the same Seer Is here. I Am. I can see a part of me that Ever Is ~ My personal Eye (I Am) is valuable for Being to express As ~ Sharing, Luv, Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avasa Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Colette The "I" that IS is what we all are and it appears as this dream. I is what sees all the thoughts and all the feelings and at the same time is manifesting AS them. Try as one might there is no getting away from the fact that all is One, none of it is personal.
