3. "Then they'll freak out about whether 'their' energy is manifest or not, conscious or not, at rest or not. There's nothing special about the energy in the space called me except that it's pretty cool that it can know itself. Once that energy moves on, why should I care (or how can I care) what happens with it and how am I even tracking it or naming it and segregating it from other energy in its life-cycle and mourning when it becomes unmanifest or whether it will be picked up in another manifestation or when it's at rest or any of those other categories?"
F.: Once Realization happens, nothing is tracked and there is no “freaking out.” No one has been known prior to now who has spoken of “freaking out” over whether energy was manifested or not. Why? That's an impossible scenario. When energy is manifested it knows it is manifested and when it is not, there is no one who could know that his/her consciousness is unmanifested. Further, once realization happens, there is no “one” to care. The question “WHO cares?” is always asked to inspire protégés to determine which false role is currently involved with any relative existence “issue.”
Also, post-Realization, there’s no “tracking” to do, no “names to name,” and nothing to “mourn.” The Realized understand that there’s no tracking since there's no one to track anything and that all names are man-made lies. The Realized also understand that when the consciousness unmanifests, some persons might mourn but the space from which the consciousness unmanifested has ended and can neither mourn nor celebrate anything.
Now here’s another pointer geared to those protégés who have reached the highest level of seeking: for those who come to Full Realization, there will be an awareness that the only “thing” that is…is the Absolute unmanifested. [Yes, the Absolute unmanifested. That alone is real. Again, this is not for those at the kindergarten level or at the dry or wet charcoal levels. Those who are finally ready can know this: what “appears” is the manifested consciousness, then, via that manifested consciousness, what seems to “appear” is the relative “world.” The real is not observable, but all of what persons call “this world,” along with all of its “stuff” that persons think they are witnessing, is not at all what seemingly “appears.” It’s much ado about nothing, all based in misperceptions and misconceptions.]
When a body is no longer present, then the consciousness is no longer aware of its presence. Reach that Absolute state now. Consciousness is the transporter of all lies and the facilitator of all misery. Once consciousness forfeits its personal aspect—that is, when it forfeits all of its false sense of individuality—then the Oneness is understood. It is understood that You Are that unicity...that which the universe is. At that point, wherefore any need for consciousness? It will be "lost," ultimately. Why not lose it now and be free of the insanity and lies of a relative existence and “this world”? Then, there will be no “one” to “experience” any of what you speak of, including “freaking out” or “caring” or “tracking” or “naming” or “segregating.”
Finally, to your comment about an “I” that would be mourning when it [the consciousness] becomes unmanifest. To emphasize the primary pointer in all of the above, the Realized know that no “I” even exists now, so the Realized certainly know that when the consciousness is unmanifested, there is no one and no “I” that can mourn his/her “loss” of consciousness. As for the “attitude” of the Realized toward the manifested consciousness, since consciousness is the very source of bondage, the Realized are not unlike a person who has worked hard all day and greets the loss of consciousness (that is, greets the approaching abidance in the deep sleep state) with delight. “Losing the consciousness” while it is yet manifested is as close to bliss as any shall ever know. The “eternal bliss” being sought by so many persons who accept the teachings of various religions and philosophies is not a possibility since there is no “one” who will be eternal to experience such bliss. The Italians speak of il dolce far niente, meaning “How beautiful or how sweet is doing nothing.” The Realized understand that the niente, the Nothing, the Void, is even sweeter. The Realized are also aware that the understanding (and accompanying “sweetness”) can only be known while consciousness is manifested. Please enter the silence of contemplation.
