Today's Considerations

The message offered here is rooted in the understanding of a functioning-of-the-totality-revealing vision which came in the late 1990’s which also showed that “realization” does not involve anything that is lofty and soaring and grand and exalted and noble.

The vision provided an entire series of revelations, all emanating from the inner resource or the inner guru and all sweeping in like a monsoon, which (1) blew away the remaining blockages in the mind and (2) allowed the Pure Witnessing to become conscious of awareness and (3) thus being finally being aware of all involved with the no-beginning / no-end cyclings which have gone on forever and which are going on right now and which will go on forever.

So, for the next few days, some of the realizations which came via that vision will be shared (without any suggestion that these realizations are the only “right and proper non-dual realizations”).

Yesterday:

At the ages of 6 and 7, I was questioning the lessons about God and Jesus and Heaven and Hell and creation and Adam and Eve and mass-murder-by-way-of-a-great-flood and all the other tales being set forth

and

finally, with the vision, scientific proof came that the doubts of a 6 or 7-year-old had been based in fact.

To continue with additional revelations which came via the vision:

The vision showed that the early doubts of a 6-year-old had been spot on. 

As for "beginninglessness," the vision showed that because All has always been, infinitely, no beginning happened and no end will happen. 

The only thing that will come to "an end" is every composite unity - such as human bodies which have come together during the relative existence but that will most assuredly come apart eventually. 

In fact, it is happening even now with the elemental plant food body here: elements are coming together, elements are coming apart. "Skin" comes and goes monthly; "stomachs" / "linings" are being replace throughout the month. Plant cells convert to humans cells, they are cast off, and more cells take their place . . . or not. Constant cycling . . . cycling . . . cycling. 

The second part of the vision showed the role of the brain in Realizing and the role of "the mind" in preventing Realization. 

The vision showed that "intellect" (referring to nothing more than "that which provides a capacity to understand") is a requirement for Realization but that the content of "the mind" will prevent persons from moving beyond even the second step on the seven-step "path." 

The vision showed that - with obvious exceptions of deformities - the brain at the outset is typically natural and normal; moreover, it is required throughout the manifestation for normal and natural functioning. 

It was also shown that the problems which seekers experience in their efforts to Realize are not rooted in the natural, elemental brain. The problem, the vision showed, is rooted in the unnatural mind, which has evolved into something that is now, among the non-Realized masses, most unnatural and abnormal. 

It was made completely clear that, while the brain and its capacity to understand are required, the mind is not required at all for nisarga, natural abidance, and is - in fact - a hindrance to natural living. 

The difference in the two became clear when this came: So the brain - and all of the parts of the body - are rooted in the elements; the consciousness is rooted in the Absolute; and the mind is rooted in conditioning, programming, domestication, acculturation, indoctrination and brainwashing. 

The vision made these salient points clear:

a. This present "you" is just a composite unity consisting of an elemental plant food body, air that is circulating in and out of the elemental body, and conscious-energy that is temporarily manifested in the plant food body and also circulating as well.

b. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, so what remains post-manifestation is distributed thusly:

. . . the elements return to the universal pool of elements;

. . . the air returns to the universal pool of air; and

. . . the conscious-energy returns to the universal pool of energy (a.k.a., "the Absolute").

c. That energy, when originally in the pure, Absolute field of energy, was called "Awareness."

d. Manifested, it is called "Consciousness" and soon loses its originally "pure" property as a result of programming, conditioning, etc.

e. Upon returning to the Absolute, to the vast pool of Absolute energy, it can again be called "Awareness" for the sake of discussion.

f. Awareness unmanifested is not "aware of" because it is not manifested in a body as consciousness and in a body with a brain that allows for conscious-of-ness.

g. Once manifested as consciousness (which soon becomes blocked by programming, conditioning, etc.), consciousness becomes conscious of perceived dualities rather than the unicity, the Oneness, and its Original Nature; if Realization happens, then the unblocked consciousness can become conscious of its Original, Pre-Manifestation Nature as awareness, at which point awareness becomes aware of ItSelf for the remainder of the manifestation, eliminating any and all conscious-of-ness-based duality wherein an "a" is conscious of a "b" or wherein a "subject" is aware of some "other object."

The vision showed that one who would abide naturally and sanely and in a chaos-and-insanity-free manner must (a) abide under the auspices of the brain and (b) must be free from being driven blindly by the content of "the mind" (which is nothing more than a storehouse of all of the ideas and concepts and falsehoods and myths and superstitions - a.k.a., "beliefs" - that "they" have dreamed up over the millennia and that the masses in any given culture think are true, though they are not, and that "they" passed down to you and that "they" - the ignorant and insane - are repeating all around you every day). 

To be continued.

Please enter the silence of contemplation.
