Nisargadatta Maharaj “I Am That” NM
I am not my body, nor do I need it. I am the witness only. I have no shape of my own. You are so accustomed to think of yourself as bodies having consciousness that you just cannot imagine consciousness as having bodies. Once you realize that bodily existence is but a state of mind, a movement in consciousness, that the ocean of consciousness is infinite and eternal, and that, when in touch with consciousness, you are the witness only, you will be able to withdraw beyond consciousness altogether.

Former friend -rjs
I have a friend
Out there in cyber-land
Name’s Mark, nice guy
But alas we hadda part ways
Coz he loves debating,
I hate it.
He honors the red-suited guy
I don’t.
He’s unclear ’bout gloom ‘n doom.
I’m not.
We wave to each other
As we pass by on another thread.
We say “You still …?”
Yep, and you?
Yeah, me too.
Bye-bye again.
I Am. -rjs

Who are you? Me queried -rjs
A CONVO WITH ME
This morning I happened to look down
And saw me there scurrying about.
“That isn’t I,” I gladly declared, “for she’s so limited and lost, unaware that she’s bought into illusion.”
A voice behind I lovingly queried:
“Aren’t you glad the I you thought you were,
looking down upon your poor little me,
isn’t you either?
“Who are you?” me and I both demanded.
“Why, I’m you, two steps removed!”
How far does this go?
Even unto eternity.

Breakthrough -rjs
WHEN YOU GET A CLEAR BREAKTHROUGH,
You must protect it.
The carnal mind will want to
Rip it from you.
Focus intently now
It really is a level up
See it clearly now, again.
Right there in that spot
On the wall just below the ceiling
See every bit of what Spirit put
In your heart, your soul.
See it again clearer than ever.
It’s really true:
The universe is disappearing.
Matter, which never was, is gone.
All those awful personalities
Replaced by reality –
Every last one.
Nothing matters now, does it?
Lies are crumbling away,
Truth is emboldened and free.
All – every last bit – of what God is
You are.
Nothing that God isn’t
Can you be! Nothing!!!
What God has, you have.
What God doesn’t, you don’t.
Look at that space on your wall
A bit below the ceiling.
When the world beckons you
Notice a veil over your space.
Don’t go! Not yet! Not ever!
You want the full awakening
Here is the full awakening.
The universe of matter
With all its hideous lies
….. has collapsed.
Your resurrection is nigh.
Your Truth is fully here.
All that awful stuff – a cacophony
Of noise, restlessness, discontent
Gone.

“All there is is nothing apparently happening
“On the face of it this is a simple but paradoxical proposal. It is also radical in that it recognises that the concept of ■■■ self is illusory, together with any belief in ■■■ free will and choice. As there is nothing happening, there would be nothing to seek or to become.
And how can there be a ■■■ meaning or a purpose in this apparent existence if there is nothing apparently happening? This proposal ■■■ dispels any idea of there being a story or an agenda of any kind leading to anything better or worse.
So, if there is nothing really happening, then the nothing that is unknowable, and often feared, is also the ■■■ very fullness and freedom that is longed for.”

”This is a communication which illuminates the paradoxical nature of non-duality and exposes the deluded idea that it is something that can be acquired and experienced
“It is so obvious and simple that the grasping of it obscures it. Never found, never lost, never knowable, being is the consummate absence that is beyond measure.”
It seems that in the boundless energy that is oneness there can also arise a contracted energy which brings about apparent self-awareness. A powerful and convincing sense of self-identity seems to arise together with a belief in personal free will and choice in what is experienced as a real life story. All of these personal experiences can only apparently arise in what seems to be a very real but dualistic reality in which everything appears to be separate. This sense of separation can bring with it a sense of loss and a need to seek guidance, an understanding or a path or process that can promise fulfilment. There are attempts to seek unity which are totally futile because the separate seeker is apparently the very dualism from which it is trying to escape.
“Looking for being is believing that it is lost. Has anything been lost, or is it simply that the looking obscures? Does the beloved dance constantly just beyond our focus?”
This dilemma is illuminated in this unique communication which makes no demands, has no expectations and does not cater in any way to the seeker’s need for answers, processes or a path to follow. This uncompromising message can be both confronting and liberating.
“Life is not a task. There is absolutely nothing to attain except the realisation that there is absolutely nothing to attain.”
The whole personal investment in making spiritual progress, becoming more aware, more still, more open or more anything at all can simply unravel in this radical revelation. The whole perception of “the self” or “the world” it seems to live in, can be transformed and leave nothing to support the illusion of personal separation, control and continuation.
Suddenly, the absence that was feared is the absence which is unknowable, but paradoxically is also the very fullness, the freedom that was longed for.”
