There is the realm of the body mind, the activities of thinking, feeling, sensing, perceiving. When we are relying on the materialistic model, we perceive a world made out of matter and objects. We perceive birth, death and transformation. We perceive that we are made out of matter, that we are a…
What is happening? There is what appears and what does not appear. Appearances relate to the senses, to the mind. The senses and the mind relate to consciousness, the reality of all appearances. It may seem from the mind's point of view that the senses are primary while in fact it is consciousness…
You are hypnotized by the bubble of your own thoughts and you perceive through that peephole. How do you expect the realization of vastness when you continue to defend your stale positions? Drop your argumentative mind and sit in silence contemplating the Self. The mind is a maze that hijacks the…
THOU ARE In order to engage in your thoughtsYou have to perceive them In order to perceive themYou have to Be. Thus you are before thoughtsYou cannot be known by thoughts. Imagining thoughts know youIs like imagining the oak tree knows you. When you ask the oak treeWhat am I? Bowing to you,The oak…
Isn’t there something which perceives thought?
You say: One IS the thinking. Meaning the character is nothing else but thought. Isn't there also something which perceives thought? That which perceives thought, we refer to as I, don't we? This I is not made out of thought, or is it? Take a look. It's the same I that perceives this screen.…
I Am is faceless, formless. The reality of being/awareness. The face that appears to you is not what you are. It is an appearance like the appearance of the weather. The thoughts that appear to you do not know you. They are inert objects of perception. Taking your lead from the thoughts that appear…
When we live in the bubble, we perceive an internal self and an external world. Thought is contaminated with self concern and preoccupation about time, future and past concerns. Looking deeply into ‘What am I truly? ’ sinking deeply into being, resting as not-knowing reveals the illusory nature of…
Like on a foggy day we cannot perceive the firmament, inside the dense bubble of thought we cannot perceive our true nature. Living the me-assumption, we are deluded in believing and feeling mortality, birth and death haunt us. Under the spell of personhood, the shining light of awareness eludes us…
There is only one perceiver, one reality.
There is only one perceiver. One reality. Once the belief in a personal perceiver completely dissolves, ignorance is gone, but the body mind functioning is not impaired. Quite the opposite. The contractions in the body are overall gone. One could say that the body is happier and the experience of…
The mind perceives object and does not perceive the source
The mind perceives object and does not perceive the source that creates it and perceives it. The light of Being creates/shines as mind but is not defined by what it creates/shines upon and as. Irrespective of how it shines it remains as it is, whole and complete. Beyond the narrow confines of the…
When you perceive others Separate from yourself Your innate vision is lost You are looking with Diffracted eyes And you have left your innate wisdom The knowingness of your globality Your innate unicity When you perceive a world Separate from yourself You have transgressed In the realm of desire…
Consciousness does not depend on its creation
Like the wide open sky does not depend on its clouds, consciousnesses does not depend on its creations. It remains as it is, borderless impersonal presence. That is what I is. The fact that what appears disappears, does not imply that their reality appears and disappears. What is the reality of…
Being knowingly the Self ~~ Indeed, "fascination with objects" does not remove presence. Nothing does since there is nothing apart from it to remove it. . In essence and in appearance, all is presence. (All events are none other than presence). And yet, there is quite a difference between "being…
As you remain quiet and still…
As you remain quiet and still, as if 'behind' what is unfolding, without any movement, without any judgment, without any resistance, you will notice a deep sense of peace that is untouched by the appearance. This is an alive intelligent stillness that does not reach for anything. A wide open sky…
You know yourself without the aid of the mind
YOU KNOW YOURSELF DIRECTLY WITHOUT THE AID OF THE MIND You know yourself without the aid of the mind. You known yourself directly. This knowingness is a non phenomenal knowingness which is referred to as an apperception. In the absence of thought, in the absence of perception and sensation, I know…
You inhale I exhale That is how it is in truth. You perceive a tree in the yard I am resting in the same yard That is how it is in truth. You rest in bed I rest next to you That is how it is in truth. You love to laugh and smile It is the same laughter we share That is how it is in truth. Let's…
I notice that there is no difference between me and whatever appears to me
I notice. I notice that there is no difference between me and whatever appears to me. I notice, I know and I feel there is no difference between me and you. You perceive, I perceive. You breathe, I breathe. One breath. I can see how petty you sometimes can be and I know that it is very possible…
There is nothing you perceive That is not you. How could there be anything else But you? Have you ever experienced anything else But you? Have you ever known anything else But you? Think about it. It is all you. Never anything apart. You try very hard to separate yourself. But it is in vain. It is…
The clarity of Self recognition
ABIDING IN THE CLARITY OF SELF RECOGNITION I read somewhere that in abiding in the clarity of self recognition, dysfunction is seen,and the truest version of myself is continuously revealed. What is this truest version of myself that is continuously revealed? ~~~ I have no idea. I don't perceive…
Do not forget what you truly yearn for.
Do not forget what you truly yearn for. You yearn for God. You yearn for truth eternal. You yearn for the bliss of the Self which is beyond any personal mind. The journey is in this lifetime. The path is the Dharma, the contemplation of the Self, the contemplation of truth. What is it that does not…
What is the purpose of visual experience?
What is the purpose of visual experience? ~~~ Visual experience refers to the reality that perceives it. Like your night dreams refer to the reality of the dreamer. Upon waking up you realize that the pink flying elephant in your dream was not real and only you (the dreamer) is real. Appearances…
Can the perceiver be perceived? Can the seer be seen?
Can the perceiver be perceived? Can the seer be seen? ~~~ The perceiver is the Self. Meaning it is You (I) that perceives, whatever that You (I) is. You (I) perceive perceptions, thoughts, sensations. Those are phenomenal events that appear to You (I). But that (I) which perceives is not phenomenal…
You are resisting God’s invitation
In the investigation of the I that I AM, you only find God's I AM. Universal I AM. You will not find any personal I AM. The personal I AM is revealed to be a download and not the real I AM. You will not find Santa Claus. The Self is universal Beingness, transparent infinite aware presence. The…
The i is not the same as I. The shadow of the tree is not the tree. The i is known, perceived as a mind object, a thought sensation. The I is knowingness itSelf, the reality of that which is known. There is no separation between the dream and the dreamer out of which the dream appears and by which…
The realization of the Self permeates the entire life and transforms it completely.
It is not merely an understanding that one expresses from a high intellectual non-dual pedestal. The true teaching is expressed in silence. Words flow from the silence and express the silent understanding. It is not a forced, learned or simulated silence. It is not a silence that comes from…
