The revelation of the silent mind bypasses the mind. The mind does not produce anything, does not produce the silent mind. since the mind is produced (by the silent mind) and not the other way around. What is perceived does not perceive what perceives it. What you are conscious of, is not conscious…
It is a trickery of thought. through the I-thought the sense of limitation is maintained. When we believe the I-thoughts, we give them power and the impression of separation seems real. In fact, the only reality is the reality of the Self and none other. What is perceived is inert and cannot reveal…
What is perceived refers to the perceiving
What is perceived refers to the perceiving and not to the perceived, for the perceived is an ever shifting target, an ever metamorphosing impression, a set of changing definitions. that points to beyond its form. It is the knowingness/perceiving, which is not a thing, which is not a definable form…
When you are going with the flow
When you are going with the flow, there is no one resisting and there is no one going with the flow. There is just flow and no one and nothing flowing. Sounds loco doesn't it? It is only loco from the perspective of the mind that perceives external and internal objects, minds and worlds. From the…
Although the perceived impression appears limited in time and space, perception is not. There is a reality to your experience. This reality is not in the perceived and is not subject to the time/space limitations of the perceived. The perceived is like a blinking firefly at night. The reality of…
You are not limited by the forms you perceive
If you experience a limited form, this does not mean that whatever experiences this limited form is itself limited. What is perceived, albeit it is limited, does not establish that what knows it, is limited. Only a direct revelation of consciousness, a direct knowingness of consciousness reveals…
Whatever perceives a thought is not a thought.
Whatever perceives a thought is not a thought. Whatever perceives an image, an impression, a perception is not an image, not a perception, not an impression. This supreme knowing is not subject to the known. It is the highest order that knows all subordinate orders. The ultimate is what knows and…
In my book, the term spirituality refers to perceiving the unperceived hand of god. This requires grace to gift you a revelation from and of beyond the form, revealing its universal and infinite nature. From the perspective of the conditioned mind, the impression of materialism veils this…
All things fall in the realm of right and wrong, in the realm of opposites. All things are mind events. It is the mind that philosophizes and argues. As the mind perceives external things (world), it simultaneously perceives an internal thing (separate self) as well and therefore division and…
The jnani does not perceive personal attacks and is not touched by criticism or debasing statements. He is rather somewhat curious about them, but not too curious. He recognizes ignorance without being part of it. When stones are thrown at him, he ducks and avoids them without engaging in combat.…
There is more to the Jello than the fruit
When you perceive the forms and objects that arise in the openness of awareness but fail to experience the seamless, borderless, radiant awareness that YOU are, you remain entangled in the phenomenal world, body and mind. It is like being served Cherry flavored Jello, noticing the fruits and grapes…
What maintains the sense of self?
The sense of self is maintained via the feeling state, via bodily sensations. That is where the me-identification roots itself. That is where we get entangled, in the feelings. Then the I-thought sticks to the feeling and relies on the feeling as its evidence that, indeed, I am a mortal body…
There is no conspiracy. The reality of consciousness is seamless wholeness that loves to appear as butterflies, as raindrops, as a gentle breeze, as a fierce storm. It loves to play. It appears as everything and everyone. Mistaking yourself to be this and not that . leads to the…
What is the difference between consciousness and mind?
Question: What is the difference between consciousness and mind? How do they relate? ~~~ Reply: By consciousness I refer to whatever it is that truly perceives. By mind I refer to whatever appears. These could be thoughts, sensations or perceptions. Although consciousness does not appear as a form,…
