Andrea: "Then what does living life look like from that place?"
F.: After you go through all seven steps on the journey (as laid out in FROM THE I TO THE ABSOLUTE: A Seven-Step Journey to Reality), and then once you Realize, you will not necessarily be living "from that place." You will be living "here" with that Full Knowledge, with that Full Understanding, with that Full Awareness, and with that Full Realization. THAT will allow you to live freely, seeking no power to create things the way you want them, seeking no control to try to bring into your life what you might think is missing, living out the remainder of time that the body space has in an AS IF fashion...as if anything in the relative has significance but knowing it doesn't. Living as if any of "this" is real, work can still happen and responsibilities can still be meet; however, knowing none of "it" is the Real, a lack of attachment to the illusory will pre-empt desires and fears. Detachment and the absence of emotional sobriety does not result in being robotic and without "feelings." (Ego-states emote; even the Realized can feel.) You'll watch it all but without any subject-object aspect interfering with objective witnessing. The "journey" begins at the "I," begins with persons believing that they are the body-mind-personality triad. The "journey"—if completed—will free the persona of the misconceptions of body-mind identity and all role identity as well...including religious and spiritual roles that must be transcended. Once the body and mind and religious/spiritual roles are seen to be illusions that resulted from programming, the more peaceful state of a child in ignorance will happen and all else that is false can be witnessed. Any remaining subject-object delusions will fall away. The pure witness—the True Self—can then know the oneness that comes with the knowledge that a tiny "building-block" of energy-consciousness is all there is, and all supposed differences are merely appearances that result from energy vibrationing at varied frequencies. From the platform of the Pure Witness, the beingness can be known rather than an experiencing of the doing-ness. The non-beingness can also be known and the 'state' of Absolute rest and peace can be seen. Then, the remainder of the relative existence can be passed in the "I Am," in the "Is-ness," in the Pure Witness "mode," in the AS IF style. Please enter the silence of contemplation.
