TODAY'S CONSIDERATIONS
A REVIEW AND SUMMATION OF THE KEY UNDERSTANDINGS THAT CAME
VIA THE VISION
Other clarifications that came via the vision follow.
186. Via the vision came the end of identity: via the unblocked consciousness - which allowed both an awareness of awareness to manifest and which allowed awareness to be aware of ItSelf and its / Your Original Nature - the illusions of ego and personality were seen to dissolve.
187. The vision showed that multiplicities of ego-states are taken by persons to make up their so-called "identity."
188. The vision made clear that the egotism-supported illusions of ego and ego-states which foster a sense of separation and "different-from-ment" and "better-than-ment" all ended in the crystal cave when the Oneness was seen clearly.
189. In the vision, what came was a condition of being awake, conscious, and aware - a condition that has not left.
190. With full awareness comes Realization and the end of suffering from the effects of the programming and conditioning and all of the other blockages that prevent the consciousness from Witnessing Purely and seeing Reality.
191. The vision showed that the movement along the "path" ended belief in any of the former, "bad" roles that had been assumed and played as well as an end to the newer, "good" religious and spiritual roles that had been assumed and played (as the raven's dissolution illustrated).
192. It showed that the final role to go at the end of the vision was "The Seeker" because an understanding of the functioning of the totality manifest, allowing all seeking to end.
193. Thus came an end to the assumption of any and all false identities and an end to the beliefs and ideas that accompany them.
194. It was shown that, as the assumption of any and all false identities ends, those trapped in the step-three-of-seven personas of the "religious person" or the "spiritual person" can finally break free of those ego-states as they stop identifying with a super power, can take the remaining steps on the "journey" to Full Realization, and can live an AS IF-style life of authenticity as a result of the understanding that comes via being free of beliefs and being awake, aware, and conscious.
195. Only then can misery end and only then can bliss / happiness / contentment / satisfaction begin.
So there you have it. After years of searching in vain; after finally crossing paths with that speck of consciousness called Maharaj and after years of reading transcripts of his talks and still not "getting it" since he never laid out in order the seven steps he alluded to because his pointers always focused only on the next step to be taken by the specific seeker to whom he was speaking;
after finally seeing the exact order in which the "coming in steps" occurred; after seeing the exact order in which the "going back steps" had to occur; and after seeing the exact order in which the "returning steps" occur,
then only did the understanding come of
- how the manifesting consciousness becomes blocked or bastardized in every person;
- how most will have the Ultimate Sickness passed down to them and will go through the entire relative existence while suffering the symptoms of that sickness which Maharaj identified as "ignorance, stupidity, and insanity";
and
- how the few that are willing to question everything which they have ever been told can cast it all aside and can be freed from those symptoms and thereby no longer driven by the collection of nonsense which is stored in almost all minds;
- can grasp the full meaning Maharaj's pointer that
"Wisdom is knowing that I am nothing" while "Love is knowing that I am everything";
and
- can, as a result, abide in the peace which only comes when freed from the influence of the ego-states and egotism which foster a false sense of "different-from-ment"; from a false sense of "better-than-ment"; from a false sense of "separation"; from prejudice and arrogance and discrimination as well as baseless anger and hatred and
chauvinism;
from xenophobia; misogyny; bigotry; intolerance; and injustice; and from misconceptions along with a sense of superiority based in nothing more than unfounded conceit in regards to one's genes or skin color or social class or economic class alongside a host of distortions and delusions.
As noted at the end of the vision,
Then, before fading into the perfect peace of rest in the Totality, Your last consciousness is of the process that had moved That Which You Are from the rest state in the Absolute, past the non-being and into being, and then into whatever that True Self was. You see how you came to witness, how the learned ignorance corrupted the pure consciousness of the child state, how spiritual and religious roles were assigned, how mental identities were accumulated, and how dominated the existence was by the physical body's fears and desires. You KNOW. And then, even that dissolves. THAT is all there is.
Therefore, the wise will see that the non-dual teachings are not an end unto themselves - as some have made them - but are a tool to be used to break the mental chains which bind the masses.
If those chains are broken, then persons can move from away from the bondage of "ignorance," away from the bondage of "stupidity," and away from the bondage of "insanity,"
just as recommended by such realized sages over the centuries as . . .
Shakespeare, Thoreau, Gandhi, Maharaj, King, Jr., Mandela and a few others that have spoken with the clarity which comes via the universal consciousness which connects those manifested temporarily with an awareness of awareness.
Peace, Unity, Love and Light to you.
