Today's Considerations
The message offered here is one that is rooted in the understanding which came via
a functioning-of-the-totality-revealing vision which came in the late 1990’s which
also made clear 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) allowed for an awareness
of 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”).
The vision revealed that the Absolute (the so-called "Ultimate
Reality" or "Great Reality") is actually nothing more than an
all-pervasive "field of energy" in which pre-manifestation
consciousness is at rest in the form of Awareness.
Also, consciousness itself was
shown simply to be conscious-energy, energy which has, as one property, a
propensity for "conscious-of-ness" when manifested.
The vision showed that the Absolute is merely that "field of energy" from which consciousness can be drawn into manifestation.
The vision also depicted the "field" to which conscious-energy returns during the unmanifesting.
The vision showed THAT Which All Is; showed the conscious-energy Itself; illustrated that purest, unadulterated "whatever" that All Is; and revealed what the lowest, tiniest common "something" is (which All in this universe is and which all in all universes is).
The vision showed that ALL is without beginning and without end with nothing ever having been "created," with nothing ever having been "destroyed," and, therefore, with nothing ever in need of an "Other-Worldly, All-Powerful (yet really inefficient) Sustainer."
In the vision, not once did a "Creator" or "Destroyer" or "Sustainer" appear because all is energy-matter, neither of which can be created or destroyed
In the vision, all happened spontaneously and without any single cause or "causer" or "Causer."
In the vision, nothing that happened had any unnatural or supernatural / religious / spiritual / magical element. All happened naturally; hence, the use now of the Nisarga Yoga with the Direct Path Teaching Method that is offered here.
After additional study of the content of the vision, this came: So that's what Maharaj meant when he said, "You are not in the world . . . the world is in you" . . . just in your mind, just dreamed up.
It became clear that seekers that Realize fully understand the
AM-ness and the THAT-ness (and the “not two-ness” of those) and abandon all
earlier misperceptions about what they once called "the world."
As for the AM-ness, it was shown that the elemental plant food body functions temporarily in the relative "realm" and (contrary to many teachings) is real but is simply not what it was perceived to be when viewed through the distorting prism of programming, conditioning, etc.
As for the THAT-ness, it was revealed to be the Original, Natural, Everlasting Field of Energy which houses awareness-energy that has the potential to manifest as conscious-energy. It has no boundaries and is not confining.
This also became clear: That which is believed by many to be “beyond” the elemental plant food body-cum-consciousness is real because it is energy-matter, yet it is not what it appears to be or said to be. Early steps on "the journey" undertaken in the vision illustrate the mental "world" (an imagined, dreamed up "world") which is the "world" that is viewed through the dirty, obscured window of the fiction-filled mind and that is experienced via the assigned and assumed personas that subconsciously drive non-Realized, body-mind-personality-identified persons' thoughts and words and actions, even as they believe they are making conscious choices.
Then, this came: Therefore, of course they are not in the world . . . the world is in them, meaning . . . in their minds.
The vision also revealed this: even after one's former "bad" roles have been replaced with supposedly "good" roles (such as, "The Super Religious One," "The Spiritual Giant," "The Knower-Of-It-All," "The Super Virtuous One," “The Super Seeker,” "The Guardian of the Moral Fabric of the Planet," ad infinitum - all of which are illustrated in the vision by a raven which will eventually morph into a gull, the bird of ignorance), then one will still live under the influence of the Dream of the Planet, walking about while playing “good” roles on the stage of the Theater of the Lie.
It was seen that nowhere in the vision was there any judging of those playing those roles. The vision made clear that the playing of "good or supreme roles or a Supreme Role" are also steps on "the path," steps which must be taken but that must eventually be transcended if Realization if to happen.
To be continued.
Please enter the silence of contemplation.
