Advaita Vedanta enlightenment, realization, nisarga yoga site discussing non-duality, nonduality, your original nature, and the means for dwelling in the natural state per Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

FROM A SITE VISITOR: (Reference is to the 17 February 2008 posting) Today you wrote about the re-purified (or unblocked) consciousness. Which is it, or do those mean the same thing?

F.: (Continued from yesterday) Among persons, all trapped in duality as they are, their beliefs and “values” will display an element of such artificial ranges of alternatives as expressed via “either-or.”

What happens after the neti-neti understanding eliminates all former identities and beliefs and then leads to Realization? The elimination of duality; of beliefs; of "either-or" dilemmas arising from belief in limited, artificial ranges of alternatives; of judgmental thoughts about “good values” or “bad values”; as well as the elimination of all “either-or” reasoning fallacies.

The followed has been pointed out in previous posts:

I do not live anywhere because I do not live. I am manifested…not born…not dying…not living. I just AM, for now. I do not abide at, though I do currently abide as...as THAT.

Abiding as THAT, there are no “either-or” possibilities, there are no concepts, there is no duality, there are no limits, there are no dilemmas, there is no chaos, there are no fluctuations, there is no instability, there is no world to deal with, and there are no personality disorders because there is no personality.

There is neither a heaven nor a hell; there are no dual-minded persons; there is no sin; there is no virtue; there is no god; there is neither power nor weakness; there are no countries; there are no races. There is no one who is either good or bad; in fact, there is no one at all.

There are no impressions, memories or dogma. Eventually, a state was reached where there are neither lessons to learn nor anything to study, though the “journey” was marked by both, as well as by “questioning it all”; there is no faith, so there is certainly no blind faith; there are neither fears nor desires.

There is no “mind” and there are no traditions that must be blindly followed just because persons for decades or centuries before did those things blindly; there is no learned ignorance nor refusal to transcend spiritual and/or religious roles.

There are neither ideas nor attitudes nor concepts. There is neither mental intoxication nor emotional intoxication nor spiritual intoxication. There is nothing unnatural and there is nothing “supernatural.”

There are no personas so there is neither ego nor egotism. There is no thinking, so there is most assuredly no magical thinking of the type that assigns "supernatural cause" to naturally-occurring events.

When the consciousness speaks, there are no words in the vocabulary to express such concepts as “better than,” “not good enough for,” “different from,” “separate from,” “ownership,” “doer-ship,” “personal attributes,” or individuality.

Finally, for advanced seekers that would further their understanding of the functioning of the totality, try applying the neti-neti to the “self vs. Eternal Self” paradigm. Then understand that THAT is beyond the beingness and non-beingness, beyond self and Self, and beyond self-ness and Self-ness as well.

If you would understand your original nature and dwell for the remainder of the manifestation in the perfect peace that can happen only if all of your anthropomorphic notions are abandoned, then complete the seven-step “journey” to Realization and be free of all selfishness and all concepts of self-ness and Self-ness as well.

Find THAT which preceded the AM-ness, THAT which preceded the THAT of this universe, and then You will understand how it is that I was present for the formation of this universe..and all others as well. And how it is that You were too. Please enter the silence of consideration.
