I am the God I’ve been looking for -RAdams

All is well. There are no mistakes. You’re in your right place, right now. When I say you are in your right place, do not think about where you appear to be, whether rich or poor, sick or healthy, sad or happy. This is not your right place. Your right place is devoid of all these things. Your right place is boundless space, choice-less awareness.

You are the God that you’ve always been looking for. You and you alone are the Sage, and the saint, and the awakened being, that you’ve been striving to attain. You are that right now. This is your right place, and there is no other place.

Robert Adams

Surrender yourself totally. How do you surrender yourself? By letting go, letting go of all the concepts, letting go of all the ideas, letting go of the beliefs, letting go of all your prejudices, all of your emotions. Just drop it. If you can do this, all of your sadhana, all of your meditations, all of your prayers, are no longer necessary.

Rupert vs Rupert re Consciousness -RSpira●

RUPERT V RUPERT: NATURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
E X C E L L E N T !!!
Sheldrake: Does your philosophy relate to Western idealism or not? SPIRA: Yes it goes all the way back to PARMENIDES who says there’s a single unchanging infinite reality from which everyone and everything derived their apparently independent existence. I think exactly the same way and if you were to ask me the nature of this independent reality I would say its consciousness. Spira was educated in the Vedantic Kashmir Shaivite tradition (Not science and Western philosophy). What we perceive as the physical universe is what the activity of that consciousness looks like from a localized prospective.
I reasoned that when we dream at night we dream of the world in our dream mind. We cannot directly from our mind. In order to dream we have to localize ourself and enter into our own imagination as a character in the dream from whose perspective the activity of the outside world appears as the outside world in our dream. This gives us a very good model for the ultimate dreamer in infinite consciousness whose activity is the universe (not an entity made out of matter).

Who am I – Jean Klein

GIVE UP WHAT YOU ARE NOT AND YOU’LL ENTER A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION.
ENLIGHTENMENT DOESN’T COME THROUGH THE MIND.
WHO IS AFRAID? IN SILENCE IS THE COMPLETE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE EGO.
Some teachers teach self enquiry by looking at the body and listening to it, while other teachers teach self inquiry by teaching that we don’t have and we are not a body. But you Jean Klein do both.
We don’t need a teacher to learn who we are or what we are or what Enlightenment is. These things cannot be taught like physics or mathematics can. But we do need a teacher to guide us along the way and yes there is definitely an inner teacher.
MATURITY COMES FROM INQUIRING WHO AM I. THE DIRECT WAY REQUIRES MATURITY.
Looking for happiness and peace etc and not finding it eventually you will find yourself in this objectless dimension.
YES, SOME OF THE TOOLS OF THE PROGRESSIVE WAY CAN BE USED IN THE DIRECT WAY BUT THE DIRECT WAY POINTS DIRECTLY. THAT’ SWHY YOU DON’T GO WITH SEVERAL TEACHERS.
THINKING IN THIS WAY IS PRAYING. WE DON’T ASK FOR ANYTHING.
Deep sleep is like meditation.

Stop postponing -Papaji

The mind likes to keep busy. It will
set up some goal for you, and then it
will try to accomplish it. It will make
these brief bliss states your goal,
and then it will make you work hard
to attain them. And then you will
think that you have accomplished
something good, something
spiritual. This is just postponement.
You are postponing enlightenment
until next year, or your next life.

Just don’t believe anything of the world -RAdams

Do not believe what the world tells you, what the newspapers tell you, what the TV tells you. Separate yourself from all these things. Become free from attachments. The world in itself is neither good nor bad. It is an appearance. You can play in the universe, you can suffer in the universe. It’s all how you see it.

Do not react to it, whether you’re going through good times or bad times. They’re both impostors. Look to your Self. You are the one. … You are beyond words and thoughts, beyond gods and goddesses, beyond everything and anything that you can ever think about.

Four videos of Francis Lucille

THE FLOW
The flow flows by itself. Neither can you make it flow nor prevent it from flowing.

LOVE, BELIEF, PARMENIDES AND MORE
As long as we believe there’s a human being at the receiving end of grace As long As long as there is a giver and a receiver of grace we are out of grace.

DIALOGUE WITH FRANCIS LUCILLE
No of course you don’t want to be agitated and frustrated. That’s not when The Choice occurs The Choice occurs when you decide to be a separate self.

HOW DO I STOP BELIEVING I AM SEPARATE ?

Go beyond the false -NM

Don’t talk of means, there
are no means. What you see
as false, dissolves. It is the
very nature of illusion to
dissolve on investigation.
Investigate – that is all.

You cannot destroy the
false, for you are creating it
all the time. Withdraw from
it, ignore it, go beyond,
and it will cease
to be.

Unbelievable beginnings -rjs

SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON’T QUITE “GET” ME. I don’t want to write a post about me but Papa says I gotta do it so here goes. I didn’t ever want to say this coz I so strongly dislike religious terminology but I believe I’m “anointed”. Good grief I said it!! Now all’s I gotta do is vindicate my statement, then I’m done, right Papa? Okay here goes.
I had more on my shoulders than most adults do in a lifetime, not expected to live time and again and I was like 5, 10, 15 years old. I can’t bear to relive the pain of being left so all alone – with a bible!!! – to heal myself when it was so beneficial to keep me down. I don’t know how I survived but I sure did learn to rely entirely on God.
Not physical rape but emotional dogged me since forever, and yet I can smile victoriously as I learned to use each and every incident as a stepping stone to deeper/ higher/ farther exploitations of Holy Spirit than I ever deemed possible.
I guess somewhere along the way I discovered that my niche was in the very process of dis–covering my spiritual being and abode commencing almost at birth!
Btw, lest I forget, you precious reader are not one iota less anointed than I am. Now I think I’ve said it all.

Very helpful fantasy -rjs

I must make it very clear that I neither believe nor subscribe to the concept that loved (or hated) ones who have passed on are looking down on us from a now fully-enlightened vantage point.
But – STRICTLY FANTASY – if they were, could you imagine them saying “Ooooh looook YOURNAME is just beginning to catch on! It won’t be long now before s/he fully understands why I had to do what I did! There was no other way to get you to where YOU really wanted to be.

Silence is God is you is happiness -RAdams

Silence is another way of saying to keep your mind stayed on God all the time. God is the silence and you are that. Feel the silence right now. You can feel it. It’s a thing of beauty. You know when you’re getting into the true silence, you begin to become happier, and happier and happier for no reason. It makes no difference what’s going on in the world.

The world is in one place and you’re in another place. In the deep silence you are identifying with the substratum of creation. Always remember to go into the silence. A Sage is always in the silence. A Sage may be talking, listening, partaking of activities, but to the Sage there’s only silence.

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
