FROM GINNY: “Can you/You live as the unmanifest?” is one of the central questions, isn't it? Blasting the trappings, even particulate light will get heavy. The concept of "turiya" will become yet another thorn to be removed as it is known there is no "background," no "screen" on which we play. "Joy" comes as weight is lifted in every "sense" of that word. This Joy has no opposite in that it is known as beyond any emotional feeling or description. Love, g.

F.: Indeed, that is one of the central questions of the teachings and now of this series. FROM THE I TO THE ABSOLUTE (A Seven-Step Journey to Reality) offers in a step-by-step fashion the precise means by which the “going back—in the exact, same reverse order of the “coming in”—must happen. So, You are invited to consider: “Will You/you complete the “circle” and live as the non-manifest?”

What does the remainder of the post-Realization relative existence look like when Reality is overlaid on the Am-ness? What is the beingness like after the “overlaying” of THAT on the Is-ness? First, what THAT looks like must be understood.

THAT involves no fighting, no war, no murder. THAT is Reality as opposed to false images, phoniness, lying, and deceit. THAT is natural so THAT is free of anything unnatural and free of anything supernatural. THAT, in the absence of any desire-r or fear-er, is marked by desirelessness and fearlessness;

furthermore, there are no do-ers in THAT so there is no doingness (including no doing of persona-reinforcing "religious work" and no doing of persona-reinforcing "spiritual disciplines and exercises").

THAT involves no programming, no conditioning, no cultures (so no acculturation) and no domestication. THAT is mindless. THAT involves no skin (so no skin color or separation via pigmentation), no adulteration, no ambiguity, no sense of brokenness, no prettiness and no ugliness, no hierarchies, and no ignorance.

As the poet Lennon invited persons to understand, THAT involves no heaven, no hell, no judgment, no countries, nothing to kill for or die for, no possessions, no greed, and no religion.

THAT involves nothing personal, no god(s), no dogma, no ideology, no spirituality. It involves no spouses so it involves no divorces. It involves no relationships so it involves neither breakups nor angst nor breakup-associated murders. It involve no opinions to debate, no theology to argue, no politics to divide, and no local, state, national or international issues or incidents.

So, when THAT is overlaid on the Is-ness, when Reality is overlaid on the beingness, then the beingness also involves no fighting, no war, no murder. The beingness happens Realistically as opposed to being marked by false images, phoniness, lying, and deceit.

The beingness then unfolds with no influence from programming, conditioning, acculturation and domestication. The Am-ness becomes mindless; it involves no skin so no color, no adulteration, no ambiguity, no sense of brokenness, no prettiness and no ugliness, no establishment of fictional hierarchies, and no learned ignorance.

As the poet Lennon invited persons to understand, the beingness happens spontaneously with no belief in heaven, hell, countries, things to kill for or die for, possessions, greed, or religion(s).

The manifestation—unfolding à la the non-manifestation—involves nothing personal, no god(s), no dogma, no ideology, no spiritual concepts and practices and exercises. It all just happens naturally, not unnaturally and not supernaturally.

The beingness, after having been subsumed in Reality, is absent any desire-r or fear-er and is thus marked by desirelessness and fearlessness. In the absent of desire and fear, there is no need to beg any god or any person for anything;

thus, wherefore religion or spirituality or any of the doingness associated with either? Wherefore dependency on persons or god or gods? Wherefore co-dependency with persons or with imaginary, other-world entities?

Once the full “journey” has been completed and Truth is known, then the manifestation also involves no spouses or other roles. It is devoid of all belief in “relationships”—that is, of belief in "two, relating" rather than the “not two”—so there is no “need” to stay together or to break up. What happens is witnessed either way.

Realized, "spousing can happen," but there is no belief in a conceptualized "spouse" or in any other role; therefore, there are no grounds for angst or murder. There are no beliefs or opinions to spread or debate, there is no theology to argue, there are no politics that divide, and there are no local, state, national or international issues or incidents to engage in.

That is what it looks like when THAT is seen, is understood, and is then overlaid on the Am-ness. If the seven-step "journey" is completed in its exact sequence, then all of the so-called "perks" of THAT can and will happen NOW. Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)
