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”).
[If you are interested, you can go to the top of this page

illustrations and then the rest of the pointers to follow will make more
sense.]
The vision showed that all which happens is merely happening
under the auspices of the most basic principles that are taught - but evidently
seldom learned - in most 4th grade level elementary schools, namely, basic science classes.
(Maharaj often said that these teachings are so simple because there is nothing
to reconcile that could not be understood with an understanding of the scientific
principles that he predicted would advance to the stage that all of the ancient
non-dual understandings will someday be scientifically, factually
verified.)
The vision showed that the ultimate problem, though, does not involve as much what persons do not know as what persons think they do know, namely, all of the "acquired knowledge" - a.k.a., "learned ignorance" - that has been accumulated along the way that is cast off in the vision at the fourth stage . . . the gull stage . . . after the return to the Child No-Knowing Stage.
The vision showed that the body will NOT exist post-manifestation in any form because all of the elements that make up the parts are going to return to the universal pool of elements.
The vision showed how to reverse back to the Absolute, but it also showed that those seven steps - if studied in reverse - actually illustrate the original manifesting “coming in”) process. In that illustration, the vision makes clear that there was no pre-manifestation You or Me, that there was most certainly nobody (no body) awaiting "birth" or "Creation," and that notions about "pre-birth" contracts are merely so much delusional fiction.
The vision showed that one need but see that "I AM energy" is fact.
The vision also showed that the body in which the
consciousness is temporarily manifested cannot last forever as a specific form
and that it will, therefore, return to the pool of elements when the elements
which have come together will eventually come apart. And it showed that in the
end all of that will happen painlessly and in a suffering-free manner.
That is the case among the Realized whether the dissolution happens quickly or drags out over a period, as illustrated by Maharaj whose case was the latter.
He witnessed the pain of the body that was experiencing the
spreading cancerous growth within. The same happens here. There is not a single
day now that the effects of a motorcycle accident that occurred years ago do
not generate body pain. Being tossed onto the surface of a highway at 70 m.p.h.
resulted in the breaking of both major bones in the lower right leg, breaking
multiple bones in the left hand, undergoing seventeen breaks in the right foot and
ankle, dislocating hips and shoulders, a concussion, and more. Yet the pain has
no "mental" or "emotional" effect on the way that
"Floyd" moves through each day, and it certainly has no effect on the
"spirit" since that does not exist. As with Maharaj, it is all merely
witnessed.
The seven steps of the vision, if understood and felt and "experienced" fully, can generate a sense of comfort and calm and relief and ease alongside a courage-generating sense of security and well-being and contentment and gladness and Love. How can that claim be offered with such assurance? If it happened for "floyd," it can happen for anyone with intellect (meaning, with a capacity to understand).
Elements of the vision continued to flash into consciousness
for months after it initially came. The flashes almost always happened when in
a theta state, dozing off or coming out of a deep, delta-level sleep. It was
early on during some of those episodes that a backwards or reversed version of
the vision began to play out.
It became clear that after "going back the way I came in" from the Absolute on Leg Two of "the journey," I was now "going back" to the relative the way I had "come in" the first time when the consciousness was subjected to all of the insane programming and conditioning and acculturation and domestication and brainwashing and indoctrination that now happens to all persons.
Yet it was clear that going back to the relative on the Third Leg was different because I was no longer being subjected to programming, conditioning, etc.
The vision showed that on the third leg, the unblocked consciousness that now knew and understood the Awareness (which was now aware of ItSelf - aware of Its Original Nature which is My Original Nature) would not be anything like the specks of consciousness that had been blocked and that led to a miserable relative existence.
It was clear that
(a) things were going to be different from the way they had
been prior to completing the seven steps to Reality and that
(b) Reality was
going to be overlaid on the relative
so that whatever happened would happen
spontaneously and would happen as naturally and sanely and reasonably and
logically as the relative existence of every living thing of the planet except
for the non-Realized masses.
To be continued.
Please enter the silence of contemplation.
