When you are established as peace and happiness
When you are established as peace and happiness your knowingness as peace and happiness is natural and effortless. It is the Self knowing itSelf. It is the Self established as itSelf never forgetting itSelf as love, peace and happiness. Until then, follow the path that appears to you, in particular…
Real love cannot flow from a limited me-person. Personal hidden agendas get in the way. Love flows from love and not from a person. You cannot love in a way that the 'person you love feels free' if you do not feel free yourself. It is the realization of your inherent freedom that dissolves all…
The supremacy of consciousness is unparalleled and unrivaled.
You contaminate pristine clarity with the me-mind and various desires. but it is important to ask: 'What is, in fact, being contaminated? ' If you pursue this question unceasingly, you arrive at the pristine source and realize there never was, after all, any real contamination. The Self is…
There are no landing strips to the Self as it is the infinite open space of awareness, velcro free, limitation free, structureless, boundless. Brimming with love. Nothing personal about it as it includes everything and everyone. Wherever you move, there is no movement to or away from the Self. No…
About nobody and negation. ~~~ In non-duality, 'nobody' is often misunderstood to refer to void and to an empty emptiness. Sometimes, one arrives at the following understanding: 'nothing is real, there is nothing to do, all there is is this and whoever is seeking truth is in illusion'. I refer to…
You already are the openness of being. Nothing truly robs you of the reality of consciousness that you are. All seeking is at the mind level and can only deliver mind stuff. And yet behind it all, there is love. a deep yearning to be reunited with the beloved. The beloved that you have never left,…
Nihilism refers to a conceptual understanding of the Self. "There is no-one and the world is not real", is only an interim stage towards the realization of the Self. When the world body mind is seen as emptiness but the fullness of the Self is not revealed, the understanding is partial and often…
The siddhas say that the one who leaves his body behind as a corpse cannot attain mukti. They are reborn. Only those whose bodies dissolve in space, in light or away from sight, attain liberation. From "Talks" by Ramana Maharshi ~~~ . The jiva perceives a body mind where the jnani perceive none.
Yes. It is the scent of the Self that leads us to the Self. Our love for happiness leads us to happiness. . Happiness that is causeless and eternal. Our love for the Self is innate to our true nature since we are the Self eternal. The recognition of this innate love of Self re-calibrates our…
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…
As you continue to contemplate that you are the open space of awareness, unmoved and undisturbed by the images that appear on the screen, the belief structures that define you as a limited mortal body mind weaken and eventually dissolve. revealing causeless peace, freedom and happiness. the…
About struggle and struggling. ~~~ What is it to struggle? Who/what is it that struggles? What is the reality of struggle? Struggle refers to someone wanting something for their person, for their personal convenience, according to their personal conditions. Wanting things to be different. For whom?…
About thought and the absence of thought ~~~ ~~~ Is thought disturbing? Thought causes no real disturbance. Nothing disturbs the Self. Rather (the impression of) disturbance is is the result of the belief that I, consciousness, am limited, personal and mortal. Such a belief leads to unhappiness and…
All is well. All is ever well. It is no other way when you celebrate whatever unfolds by meeting everything with your acceptance and grace. You might not right away recognize the gift that is being offered and that is OK. As you remain in your acceptance, which is not resignation, you feed the love…
What can be lost and gained is ephemeral
What can be lost and gained is ephemeral, is not eternal and not what I am. When you regret the ephemeral, your regrets are misplaced and of no use. What you truly are cannot be added to nor diminished. I appear as all appearances, as each one of you, as all perceptions. Through perceptions, you…
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…
The world is a conceptual structure
The world is a conceptual structure. What appears refers to its source. . that does not appear. Once you take a closer step towards what appears, it disappears. But due to your stubbornness and insistence, it reappears, moment by moment, instant by instant. Worldly appearance and disappearance will…
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…
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…
No need to add a personal subject
Whatever is experienced without adding a personal subject is unspoiled and simply delightful. Habitually, thought adds the me (personal subject) and the entire matter becomes a me-matter. That is what a contraction amounts to: a me-situation that is felt in the body, in the belly, in the chest, in…
I am always experiencing myself and never stop experiencing myself. I am myself as myself. I never cease being myself as I AM myself. I look at you and experience myself. It is always so I have never been otherwise. Myself. Not a knowable. Not a known form object. Not a mortal body mind.…
As we continue to contemplate our unity and wholeness, the old patterns of ignorance, the negative emotions stored in the body mind may arise in full force. As long as you do not personalize them further, they arise only to dissolve and release out of the body mind structure. The tank is being…
The dream you dream. ~~~ ~~~ You imagine yourself and thus you separate yourself out of the wholeness. As you believe your imagination. the imagined separation and the external world body mind appear to you. Dream characters and dream events follow, until you decide to wake up and return to the…
About consciousness. ~~~ ~~~ Consciousness is eternal. That, that does not come and go. the reality of our experience. As phenomenal events appear and disappear, consciousness is not a phenomenal event that comes and goes. It is the undeniable reality of our experience. Our experience is known and…
