Contemplate the reality of your experience
Conversation with a friend. ~~~ ~~~ As you continue to contemplate the reality and truth of your experience, the personality patterns will become less and less important and less and less predominant. The path of love and beauty will continue to unfold and will continue to attract you until you can…
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…
Knowing is beyond the now. It shines onto the now while being completely free of time and space and is not limited to a 'now'. How could the unexplainable, THAT that is beyond the mind, THAT that is all knowing, be understood via a now or via any means? Beware to confuse the now for reality. The…
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…
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,…
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?…
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…
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…
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…
All you experience is yourself
All you experience is yourself. Nothing separate. Nothing outside or inside. One seamless reality. There is no mind to know it. It is self knowing. But even that is mind fodder. You go nowhere. You do not come from anywhere. The entire limited you is a dream illusion as separation is imagination.…
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…
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…
All states appear and disappear out of and in the openness of Awareness. Awareness refers to the knowingness and not to any particular known. All mind events, all states are known. Feelings, thoughts, sensations, experiences are known. Awareness/consciousness is the 'ultimate' non-dual knower.…
Time is duration. Duration, an imagined span between two thought events. Now does not take place between two thought events. Now has no duration and therefore is not in time, not in thought. So one could say that there is no Now since what the mind refer to as Now has no real duration. It is this…
Everything and everyone is one body, the body of Christ, one reality, one consciousness. There is no division, no separation. Reality is one Wholesome undivided presence. The sense of danger, fear and lack is the imagined separate self, that is made out of thought and bodily sensations.…
In the eternity of presence, I am you and never leave you. As two drops of water are one, consciousness is whole, complete and inseparable. Contemplate the reality of your experience and be done with the illusion of separation. You have never been an object, a body mind. That is your dream and not…
The dreamer is beyond all dreams
Indeed, dreaming that I am a person does not turn the dreamer into a person. All dreams are mind impressions. The dreamer is beyond all dreams. Although the dreamer is the reality of all dreams, reality remains undefined by the dreams, no matter what they may be. In ignorance, the dream characters…
The illusion of objectivity. ~~~ You believe there are bits and pieces in the universe while in fact there is no such thing. It is like the fingers in your hand that seem to be separate while in fact they are this one hand. You believe you have an independent reality while in fact your reality is…
We get concerned about dying as we mistakenly imagine the death of the dream to be my death. Thus we hold on to the dream while every night we willingly release it in deep sleep. Why are we so attached to the fleeting? Is it not that we mistake the fleeting to be permanent? Is it not that we…
You trust the mind to take you where the mind is not. How foolish! Questioner: That is all you have at your disposal. is it not? Reply: The mind comes and goes. What you have at your disposal is the eternity and infinity of consciousness. Since you rely on the mind and on the senses you believe the…
All states of consciousness exist through my non existence and as my non existence. Ö. S. : To say I am non existent you must exist, don't you? Reply: What we refer to as existence is relative to other objects and requires someone to know it. That is what we refer to as the mind. The reality of…
Yes, it is thought that says: I am a man. I am Magdi. I am fat, short, tall, old, aging, etc. I choose to believe thought and in doing so, I have accepted thought as my guide and master. In choosing thought as my guide, I accept thought's messages. I accept mind as my lord and doing so, I turn your…
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…
