(“How Can I Handle Loss,” Part Three will continue tomorrow after answering two e-mails that arrived yesterday that are relevant to the discussion)
From a site visitor: “Floyd, 'Thorns' are to be thrown away including all the Advaita concepts. You write on the blog everyday and write books and answer questions. Do 'you' find the 'thorn' ever coming back? Or the Advaita concepts ever coming back? That would need to be thrown away again.”
F.: There's no one to toss anything, nor anyone who is doing anything. The consciousness speaks. If you think "floyd" is writing the blog, take into consideration the pointer that there is no “floyd” to write anything. “Floyd” is just another perception in the "mind" of persons, and there are as many “floyds” as there are persons who think they know “him.”
From another site visitor: “Speaking of sense of loss, I ‘get it’ now but then I ‘lose it.’ Like one other visitor said, Help!”
F.: You think you have it and you think you lose it. WHO is the “you” that is saying that? The Absolute cannot think. The Absolute cannot speak. The Absolute cannot have anything. The Absolute cannot lose anything. You Are the Absolute which had been drawn (by the mere “luck of the draw,” so to speak) into a temporary cycling of conscious-energy that has briefly and temporarily manifested via a temporary space that has a temporary “form” as a result of elements having combined automatically and temporarily in a certain fashion after two humans engaged in an act of friction. Do not mistake the temporary form that elements have temporarily assumed to constitute a “difference.” Understanding the unicity reveals that a pile of ashes, a pile of dust, you, a dog, a tree, a piano, and a plant are no different. All of those “seemingly different things” are one thing. Supposed differences perceived by the human eye and misunderstood as a result of warped “minds” are the result of varying vibrational frequencies only. Humanity’s (post-programming) propensity for misperceiving everything makes persons believe that differences are real rather than grasping the truth of the unity beyond the wrongly-perceived multiplicity.
H20 might temporarily manifest in the shape of this or that. Is a so-called cube really a cube because some humans labeled it as such, or is it just H20? Is a cloud a cloud because some humans labeled it as such, or is it just H20? Is a river really a river because some human labeled it as such, or is it just H20? Now, take that one step farther:
Are you “a man” or “a woman” because some human labeled you as such, or are You a quantity of energy that has as one attribute the ability to be aware of while temporarily manifested? Are you “a husband” or “a wife” because some human labeled you as such, or are You a quantity of energy that has as one attribute the ability to be aware of while temporarily manifested? Are you “an employer” or “an employee” because some human labeled you as such, or are You a quantity of energy that has as one attribute the ability to be aware of while temporarily manifested? Are you the elements that have temporarily combined into a space, or are You a quantity of energy that has as one attribute the ability to be aware of while temporarily manifested? Are you “bad” or “good” because some parent or some religious or spiritual expert labeled you as such, or are You a quantity of energy that has as one attribute the ability to be aware of while temporarily manifested? And untimately, are You the consciousness that has manifested temporarily, or are You the Absolute?
Realize that and it will be seen that there is nothing or anyone to get anything or anyone; it will also be seen that there is nothing or anyone to lose anything or anyone. Realize that your sense of “getting it” and “losing it” deals with this “fictitious you” in some “fictitious modern time.” These postings invite you to know What You Have Been and What You Will Be…Truly; What You Have Been and What You Will Be…infinitely; and What You Have Been and What You Will Be…timelessly. You speak of your circumstance NOW and likely want some power of NOW, but what the consciousness speaks of on this site is as ancient as it is fresh. Any truth that applies NOW but not eternally is not truth at all. Find the understanding that is timeless, that is eternal, that is ancient, and that is original. Then You’ll realize that there is no one to get, nothing to get, no one to lose, nor anything to lose. Talk about free! Please enter the silence of contemplation.
