Even though you choose to forget, you are never not the Self. You move away from yourself and become someone and you experience the angst of feeling lost only to search for yourself and re-member yourself. dis-covering yourself where you have always been, and giggling at the entire endeavor. You…
A glimpse in the Self is a non event since the mind is not privy to it. Whatever the mind comments about the glimpse in the Self is an illusory dream comment whose sole purpose is to maintain the impression of selfhood. It is the thief claiming he owns the house.
Resignation is not realization
Resignation is not realization. ~~~ Without the perfume of freedom, beauty, love and happiness life is either pursuit and resistance or resignation. The Self is glorious and magnificent and is not the roller coaster ride of the mind. Settling for less than the full revelation, settling for less…
About consciousness and awareness
A note about the terms consciousness and awareness: ~~~ It should be noted that while Nisargadatta uses the term consciousness and awareness to make a distinction between mind (he uses the term consciousness)and the absolute (he uses the term awareness), in certain languages (such a French), only…
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…
Question: Can you talk a little on the power of suggestion? ~~~ Suggestion refers to a proposal, that is put forth for consideration. What matters is the source of the suggestion. When the source of the suggestion is love, freedom and not a personal agenda, the suggestion celebrates happiness and…
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…
A question from a friend about sex
Friend: Hi. I have a personal question. When you have sex with the person you love and you say you are making love, is this really true? Is sex part of the illusion? Is that the separate self?
We are the Love, the beauty, the tenderness
We are the Love, the beauty, the tenderness. That is what we truly are, that is what our heart speaks . the language of the heart. What we truly are. You don't believe me? Try it and see. See for yourself. Then you would know beyond any doubt. In your daily living, release the old me tendencies. Do…
The observer is not observable
The observer is not observable since it is not a form. You know the Self as you are the Self. It is an intuitive objectless knowingness that is undeniable.
What ‘I’ are you referring to?
What I are you referring to? There is the I personal dream character. The man woman mother father. The identification. The imagined personal self. Then there is I as consciousness. The first I, the personal self is a dream character that consciousness imagines itself to be. Separation and…
What we refer to as thought is an innocent and innocuous modulation of consciousness. It is the separative I-thought that is the minds' futile attempt at dividing the indivisible. In our recognition of the futility of dividing wholeness into me-segments, we giggle and cease to feed that delusion.…
What makes our dreams so unhappy?
We are trying to heal from our own dreams. What makes our dreams so unhappy? Is it not our identification with the mortality of the body mind? Are we not the awareness to which the body mind appears as the self and as everything? Is aware presence a limited personal self or is it the borderless…
We bathe in love, as we seek it
When we feel like a separate self, when we come from the sense of limitation and lack, the wholeness of our true nature evades us. From that perspective there is not enough love to go around. Thus we look out onto the world to fulfill us, which it can't. Until we discover that we are whole and…
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…
Self honesty does not maintain the illusion that I am a separate self. It does not maintain the story line, does not defend it, does not promote it. Self honesty leads you to the truth, to the recognition that you are the open space of awareness and that everyone and everything is made out of that…
In the stillness of the heart. A poetic expression.
In the stillness of the heart. ~~~ We meet. as one. In the stillness and wisdom of the heart We are one love, one reality. I find myself as your heart and find you as my heart as one. In the heart we are never apart, we are one as love, as consciousness. This is where the birds sing and the streams…
You are the home that you seek.
You are the home that you seek! You are the divine light, choosing to forget itself. You are the intelligence, wisdom, beauty, love, infinity, eternity of the Self, choosing to impersonate a separate consciousnesses. There are no real issues, only imagined ones. When you choose to identify with the…
