QUOTES AND PASSAGES FROM MY WRITINGS, DISCOURSES AND FACE BOOK POSTINGS
ON: GOD – CREATOR – CONSCIOUSNESS
God! (Our presumptions and conditioning about god) God? (The questioning starts,
presumptions get shaken-the conditioning seems limiting)I Am God (We expand into empowered personal consciousness &
discover our Godhood) God I AM (This expansion of Self paradoxically leads to its
spontaneous dissolution into Consciousness. We move from I am God to God I am.
Subtle, but all important difference!
As
long as we desire to ‘meet’ or ‘become One’ with God- we are going to have a
‘God’ outside self to do that with & the Godself
That I Am cannot consciously Be. Our yearning-while it plays a vital ripening
role in the unraveling of Self-at the very core implies some degree of a
state/sense of separation. The gnosis that there is no God ‘out there’ shifts us
from this desire into knowing its more about a growing awareness ...of our
Godhood or the state of consciousness we call 'God'
To see everything & everyone as Self/God- is being established in Self
or the state of 'seeing God!’ To know that nothing is not Self/God- is abiding
in Self or the state of
‘seeing God’. This is the much spoken
about purnam darshan; this is that full blown mystical vision that the mystics
speak about! Indeed it is the yearning to receive some other.. mystical ..
'purnam darshan/ God vision that keeps us from this moment to moment purnam
darshan… from this moment to moment here and now state of tangibly ‘seeing’
God!
Self/ God/Consciousness is all pervading… present in the un-enlightened as
much as in the enlightened; in the densest of matter as much as in spirit; in the smallest of small as
in the vastness; There is not a single thought that is not ‘Go...d’…even what
seems to be ignorant of ‘God’ …is ‘God’… there is not a single body that is not
‘God’… even what seems to be separate from ‘God’ is God …! In this God vision
as we see ‘God’ in every person, thing, happening/non happening… we move
automatically from the personal consciousness/ self that sees god…to
Universal/God Consciousness…
Surrender or homage can be to Guru God or Self… all three states are
seemingly the same &yet each is a subtle shift into establishing as
authentic Self. When nothing-not even our guru or god stands between Self-when
there isn’t even a grain of sand in between-do we truly abide in Self.
Ultimately abiding in Self is beyond devotion, gyan even love .Devotion to
whom? Love implies another. And Gyan-knowledge of Self is still a hairs breadth
from being Self! And yet as Self- a state of being beyond duality & thus what we call
contradictions- even though there is no other we view all as aspects of Self,
and thus though one is beyond devotion love and gyan...they exist in relation
to Self & all its reflections.
A
subtle but vital difference in between: I am That; I am the universe; I am the
sun; I am the tree....AND
That I Am; The Universe I Am; The sun I Am; The
Tree I Am....
Best not
to analyze it but experience it! in brief ,one way of looking at the difference:
in the former you/ego self/personal consciousness/I are still present. In the
latter the I is not you, but That / The sun /universe/tree etc...expressing /
reveling /Self aware . In the former you personal consciousness expands into
being the sun universe god etc...but pc is still there; in the latter the
personal consciousness has dissolved and its being the sun and tree and all
that is…Its beyond words really, so try the two meditatively and experience
The
Unmanifest-Spirit, Consciousness, God- is immanent in the manifest material
world. The physical & the
spiritual are not two disparate parts in conflict but one sacred whole. We
cannot reject the physical world without rejecting its very core – spirit; and
if we embrace everything as the divine we enter into true worship...rship; into sacred and
abundant living; into lifes wholesome reason to be!
Man= God looking standing face to face
with Self and saying 'KUDOS'!
Man = Playful God - enjoying the cosmic game of hide &
seek
Man= Adventurous courageous God- to design & play this king-size no-holds
barred game
Man= Confident God- diving into an experience which seemingly takes Self so far
from Self, knowing that Self will come back- enriched & with aplomb!
Man= Love Itself; for only Love of Self and All That It Is could
propel forth its human experience
Man= Creative God -to creatively experience Self in so so so
many ingenious ways!
Man= God looking standing face to face with Self and hearing his/her inner
...chorus of Ahhh oooo mmmmm
Man= knowing the orgasm of meeting self is around the corner, still enjoying
the cosmic foreplay!!
Om= Aom = ah ooo mm = Its experienced as
one fluid nano second OM, but when experienced within we can tap into the
subtle Trinity its made up of:A= When Consciousness becomes Aware of That it
is, there arises an Ah (this becomes the I). O= Awareness of can never be
separate from That it is aware of (like mirror/reflection) & in this coming
together/mating/experiencing (Being....)arises the Oooo. M=And in Its fulfillment,
after the cosmic climax, resting back unto itself arises the Mmmmm ..!
-A(h) is the unconscious/ void/pure potential ... becoming conscious .
-Ooo...is its experience/pure
being (creation)
-Mmm...is resting back into
unconscious/ yet an expanded state of pure potential (thus is it the sound of
nature...)
-And this Aom aom aom om
continues infinitely like a cosmic climax, ever building up on Itself... the
paradox of even All That Is... becoming 'more' -As Aom is an infinitely
continuous frequency ... see whets happening:
-When from an AOM... there arises
another (and another infinitely) AoM... AoM ...AoM.... the sound (in between
the 2 oms) is Ma.....!!!
-Birthing! Mother! The universal
womb birthing ...As M represents the unconscious/void/supreme yin principle/
...and when it becomes aware of That It is...the universe is birthed! (No
wonder so many languages have M as the word for mother, ma, mom, mater etc)
-A is awareness- the supreme yang
principle...that which penetrates
-M ... so that together they experience the blissful
ooo of creation! Indeed in some older languages father starts with A...Aaapa
abba.. maybe papa comes from there!!!
This is just one more way of looking at Om (personally arrived at so I don't
know what the texts say... pls feel free to enjoy or reject) ...we can take it
deeper and wider...many months ago i had shared another beautiful expression on
om...will repost it at some point soon...VERY IMP: Please experience
this meditatively if you resonate: When you become aware of That (feel good
factor/love/oneness/expanded self whatever you call it) then the subtle Ah…ooo
…mmmm happens! Thus if we live in constant awareness of That… our energy field
is a 24/7 reverberating frequency of Om…. And thus…like attracts like!!!
Buddha really implies a state of
consciousness; we can call this state of consciousness all-thingness or no
thingness ...thus the ‘term’ Buddha literally means both –non-self &
enlightened one (filled with all light)...and this state cant be really
understood… but moved into...(as its beyond the mind )and in that moving into
it...all the concepts that helped us move into it dissolve; thus the Zen quote…
“The mind that does not understand is the Buddha.” ‘Gautam’ Buddha… who was of
the humans who attained this Buddhic consciousness …state of pure awareness…one
of those who fulfilled the highest human potential… Buddha Purnima is actually
a triple celebration….Gautam Buddha’s birthday & day of enlightenment &
and seeming ‘death’; its deeper message being that this state of consciousness
is inherent for all who are ‘born’! It whispers to us that in our birth
-individually and as the human race – is enlightenment inherent! As is ‘death’!
Not only physical death...but what Buddha really died into - eternal light… and
its deathlessness indeed! The mind drops off by itself once all its exploration
is done...till then dropping the mind remains a concept ;-)
If
everyone got liberated how creation would be! So just like we don’t want a good book/movie
to end, we - as Consciousness- keep enough aspects of Self within the cosmic
play, knowing full well that each 'self' will awaken at the right time... just
like the cue actors get when its time for them to exit the stage... at... the right time for the betterment of the play the right time for
the betterment of the play.In this gnosis, our focus
shifts from personal consciousness and its concerns of "when will I get
liberation"...into becoming one with Consciousness and its cosmic play…
and in that... resting in whatever is good for Consciousness/The Whole… rather
than concern about an individuated me and its liberation...Of course, the very 'desire'
for liberation implies, the Whole is readying for 'my' exit...! The 'effort'
that arises due to this desire, is what the Whole is doing thru a 'me'...! The
'effortlessness/surrender' that then just happens.. is The whole merging
increasingly with the 'me'...and as the gap decreases..... we move beyond
concerns about personal liberation...even whilst the whole is dissolving personal
self...
Think Chinese checkers...! first all the counters are 'home'; then with great
'deliberation' they enter the game; the 'challenges' are part of its fun;
'careful moves' are made; the way ahead is 'studied and entered into'.....and
then at so...me point... the pace changes... and rather than deliberate
moves...the counters have pre-set the path back home...there is only that path
left...and no other place to go...and thus they all go home...and both parties
playing the game have enjoyed the whole experience;-)))))))))
'God' /'Consciousness'/Spirit imply a dynamic state of being... a kinetic state
of perfection….not something finished and done with! As consciousness
experiences /expresses/ revels in Itself, through its 'individuation's', It
expands/deep...ens/enriches Itself...and then 'that' enriched
consciousness/god/spirit has more to experience/express and revel in... ever
more...infinitely..(in linear language, because of course all of this 'happens'
in the now!) and thus individuates/ sets forth again…and again…always from this
infinitely ‘more’ enriched experience of Itself….It’s the paradox of how All
That Is ...ever becomes 'more'...;-) but we are all trying to express the
inexpressible and thus words may vary but are all really saying the same
thing...in essence!
Only duality allows something to be
(overtly/obviously) apparent. Thus -‘That’ /Consciousness/Self/God which
duality makes apparent- is obviously beyond duality, beyond being apparent and
beyond description! Thus is- That/Consciousness/Self/God - only perceived &
experienced within (& within everything that is apparent)! Only duality
allows something to be (overtly/obviously) apparent … thus all its seeming
opposites … are but aspects, experiential facets, wordless descriptions… of The
One That is indescribable/not apparent!The five outer senses are tools towards the duality experience…enabling us to
view and understand the un-viewable/un-understandable! They prepare us to then shift to the five
inner senses which allow us to be directly in-touch with ‘That’ untouchable…
Consciousness can be
viewed from 2 (primary)angles: Beingness/Isness/Love - and Awareness of its
Beingness/Isness/Love. One cannot be without the other- Awareness cannot be
without something to be aware of; and without awareness pure beingness/Love
wouldn't 'be' .These are not 2 parts however but 2 angles or views of the one
consciousness (also referred to as Shakti/Shiva) & only in
understanding or describing the one consciousness do we view or refer to them
as 2 ...like in describing a drop of water we can call it wet & transparent
but wetness and transparency are not 2 parts but aspects of the one drop that
have no separateness. In each of us, individuations of the one consciousness,
awareness can be fully experienced at the 6th chakra; and pure beingness at the
4th/heart chakra. And together consciousness explores, expresses and revels in
all nuances through all our different (5th) throat chakra'
Evolution is inherent in our DNA!
God is in our genes! Our goal… is our Source!
We often think in terms of Gods creating
us; but in truth it is we who create our gods! Sensing our purest qualities
as ‘self’, but unable to accept this vision as self, we project them onto a
‘god’ or goal outside. Our highest potentials, the gods we seek to be, are in
actuality our source and immanent in our Dna; that record keeper so to say that
keeps all that we are intact within us while we play the game of seeming
separation and ignorance
Anthropomorphism, whereby we personalize
or humanize an abstract god-like quality, to understand it better is the
basis of all mythology. We bring the abstract to life, by assigning them name
and form and history even. The intangible aspects that make up our universe are
thus made tangible and easier to understand.
Our gods are each a unique exploration
of the Whole; a finely honed focus of the Whole; taking ‘back’ or actualizing
an inimitable, distinctive aspect of the Whole! And thus each ‘god’ shows a
different facet…none ‘teaching’ exactly the same! And sometimes humanity gets
confused as to which is the truth! But that’s the whole point of creation!
Whereby each individuation explores and actualizes a unique aspect of the whole
for the whole! We imbue the whole with a unique slant! And thus must we not get
perplexed by what the different gods are ‘saying’, but take from each god what
helps us create our own vision and realization of the whole! For if we all ‘go
back’ with the same picture…what a waste of eternity!
'God' and our world are just two aspects
of the same 'one'. Please note they are different aspects and not parts!
Like a rose is pink and soft- you can’t separate a rose and its pinkness and
softness other than in speaking or understanding it! And thus is the
world...life...people…events… things and matter ...god or spirit! Maya or
illusion does not mean the world does not exist...as from your point of focus
it does...it only means it is not the only aspect! You have not viewed the
whole...And that’s the illusion...
God is no separate 'whole' sitting somewhere outside! God in not a noun but a
verb... all beingness is god...in its different forms...aspects...!'God' is not
outside... but neither is god inside you as often said...god is everything and
everywhere!
‘God’ and ‘the world’ is one reality –and these are just two (of the many) ways of
perceiving the One. But please note they are only different ways of perceiving
the one…and not two different parts! Like a drop of water is wet and
transparent- you can’t separate the wetness and transparency other than in
labeling it towards its understanding! And thus is the world (life, people,
events & things) God or Spirit! Maya/illusion does not mean that the world
does not exist- as from our point of focus it does- it only means it is not the
only aspect! You have not viewed the whole-that’s the illusion!
God is no separate 'Whole'… indeed there is no separate inviolate ‘Whole’ as we sometimes think.
God in not a noun but a verb- the entire process of creation and thus all that
is - even as individuation's or in separation- makes up this 'Whole'! God' is
not outside, but neither is God inside you...God is everything and everywhere!
Many
consider devotion to be their allegiance towards their masters, gods, and
perhaps higher-selves; but in its ‘purest’
expression, devotion is your ardor to ‘Be’…an allegiance towards your very
purposes to BE. Towards those purposes that you, from Spirit for Spirit,
Individuated towards. And by your very
‘being’, through what you may call existences, you are expressing your complete
devotion. If you understood this well, there would be nothing more to ‘add’
towards devotion. Your devotion is your enthusiasm towards being all
that you have chose to ‘Be’ …do, feel, experience in what you call this life.
In this joyous commitment to all that you are, now… you encompass masters and gods and indeed ‘serve’ them best.
Feel free my dears, for devotion is not a narrow line of, ‘must be’, ‘must
feel’, ‘must do’ towards some ‘higher ‘other’. It is being yourself…all that
you consider or call good or bad….! Acknowledge accept and revel in all of self
and you are expressing complete devotion…
Every
birth is an affirmation of the love will & creativity that gives rise to
humanity. Every birth is a
beautiful mirror through which the Divine views its infinite potential. Thus is
every birth special-a tribute indeed to the unique & extraordinary
contribution that only each individuation can make towards the fulfillment of
the larger Whole…
Consciousness/Creator: There is nothing in My
universe that does not bring you 'back' unto Me.....! No matter how you view some one or
something in your present moment, everything, everything in My Universe only
enables you, aids you, becomes a vital step towards all that you already are...
a step back unto Self. This arose in one of my older channelings in response to someone crying
about an addiction that it is taking him away from 'God'. It went on to explain
how even seemingly negative phases, bring about deep self awareness...and thus
in the longer run are about Self growth...
The
paradox of ‘stillness’ is that it is the fastest vibratory frequency! Stillness is not inertia, but an inner state of rest
where everything (externally) is happening as it must- indeed a state of pure
momentum! Like a fan functioning optimally at full speed appears still,
stillness is not the absence of or staying away from activity, but amidst all
happening. Indeed stillness & momentum are aspects of the one
...Shanti...that we view as 2 opposites. May She bestow her grace and beingness
on us all... Stillness is the finest fastest frequency; the least gap between
thoughts! Indeed as the frequency slows, it becomes denser, the oscillation is
more...and we move from Shanti
Consciousness' implies a dynamic state
of being... a kinetic state of perfection….not something finished and done
with! As consciousness experiences, expresses, revels in Itself, through
its 'individuation's', It expands, deepens, enriches Itself...and then 'that'
enriched consciousness has more to experience, express and revel in... ever
more...infinitely…(in linear language, because of course all of this 'happens'
in the now!) and thus individuates/ sets forth again…and again…always from this
infinitely ‘more’ enriched experience of Itself….It’s the paradox of how All
That Is ...ever becomes 'more'!
At a deeper level... the words
'decisions'/'choices' are all of duality and we cant think of a happening w/o
it... we cant think of ca uselessness… IMHO there is no cause.... no
choice... indeed it is consciousnesses natural state to forever Be! In
duality's words 'to journey' or 'experience' or 'express' or 'revel in' or
'know' self...is its natural state! Its not a 'choice or decision'... IN
ANALOGY its like asking why is elastic stretch?? It just is! Its elastics
nature! It does not decide to be or make a choice to be so!?? We can call
it consciousness dharma! Its natural state! But then that is another topic! We
can go deeper and deeper into this answer...but off for the day now! So yes we
use words like consciousness 'chooses or desires or has the urge'...but these
are only used to describe the indescribable and we have to go beyond these
words like a bridge to take us to where words can’t go!
Symbolically: Jesus = Christ
Consciousness (A state of consciousness/Universal Self) = thus 'his'
immaculate conception symbolizes this state of Awareness that allows each of us
to birth our Christ Consciousness. Mary - our feminine aspect of self -
birth's our Christ consciousness... as its not our mind/intellectual
understanding/concepts/active effort that eventually births our Christ
consciousness but the heart/love/wisdom/silent gnosis/surrender that
does. Yet like there can be no child without father and mother... both
aspects...the mind/understanding/words/effort ...and the heart/love/beyond
words silence/surrender ...make up our journeys!
Guna's = -modes of consciousness = tamas
(unconsciousness/density /inertia etc) rajas (action/passion/conscious effort
etc) and satvik (pure consciousness/purity etc) So yes, Tamas is
unconsciousness/density… but it is Consciousness
which chooses to lower its vibration...become tamas for the cosmic play! Rajas
is the passion…the creative force which then enters this game… and moves it
back to Its satvikness/supra consciousness !
You cannot reject the physical
world without rejecting its very core – spirit; and if you embrace everything
around you as the divine choosing to experience Itself- you enter into true
worship; into sacred and abundant living; into your life’s’ wholesome reason to
be. Thus spirituality cannot be divorced
from day to day life.. .they are not two compartments to be juggled or
balanced, but one larger whole. Spirituality includes not excludes my daily
life!! Concerned as it is with a joyous here and now and not only heavenly
thereafter! Blending with and optimizing my humanity & its purposes rather
than opposing, suffocating, suppressing it! Thereby deeply fulfilled, and in
deep union with Self and all Selves around us, we but naturally become more and
more palpably the God within
Existence,
the many seeming years and era's, is but one loving glance...at Self! And all that seemingly happens, is but all that Self
becomes aware of in that glance!
God is a word which actually means every word and everything...so it works more like a symbol
containing it all- or we would need to use every word in our dictionary to
describe/understand/express/refer to God…
God is a frequency/vibration...and thus
His/Her names (also a frequency) are 'Gods' most original 'form'...and thus
in chanting or being one with name...we are one with its frequency ...and thus
with 'God'..
A meditative imagery: view self sitting
across an exquisite glowing shiva/or letter i. View behind this
Shiva/letter I-a series of them –each becoming just a little taller, wider
& glowing than the one before –like a finely graded series of
statuettes going infinitely higher wider & taller till the last fills
up the cosmos- formless indeed-only the glow perhaps- & know these are all
‘you’! Thus as your I Am presence expands –you abide in the higher & larger
Selves-you abide as awareness Itself .But you simultaneously exist as all! You
are simultaneously the largest focus of All That Is & the ‘smaller’ more
finely honed current focus too! As you do this, he ‘you’ who was sitting across
& observing these aspects of Self-disappears!
There was no effort to move from the ‘personality’ ‘ego’ self …! As you became
aware of, focused on &aligned with your (range of) I am presences…you
automatically moved into It! Not looking at them anymore, but now looking
through their eyes – as them! And ultimately as the largest- awareness Itself-
established in your I Am presence! And yet, as current self, who is not anymore
the personality but an aspect of the ‘I am’ presence!
Mythologically or symbolically the
sleeping self can be seen as our Vishnu aspect; and the awakened self our Shiva aspect ! Both simultaneous aspects
of the One absolute state we can call void!? Also...Vishnu sleeping self …is
like a child deeply asleep after a fulfilled day; and the awakened self is the
mother who is fulfilled in her awareness of her child’s fulfilled sleep
state...!
Be
aware of unawareness... and in that be aware that unawareness is unaware of its
awareness ... indeed awareness allows unawareness to remain
unaware. In analogy or it sounds gibberish;-): Be the mother (awareness) who is
looking at her child deeply asleep (unawareness); as the mother who knows her
child has had a wonderful, fulfilled day and is thus deeply asleep you are
aware of the child’s beautiful fulfilled state of deep sleep… aware of his unawareness … yet the child’s unawareness is not experienced by
the child himself (unawareness)…only experienced by you the mother (awareness)
Imho…we can see this thru numerologically…if we view source/noumenon as
zero; 1 as awareness of the noumenon; 2 as the noumenon now aware of itself (thus 2 even though it
symbolizes source/noumenon has different qualities from zero)… (Also it
required number 1...for noumenon to know itself…thus is number one before
number 2 inspite of 2 also symbolizing noumenon in a way…) and number 3 is the mating of awareness’ and
noumenon which results in creation ! 4 is the physical plane! …one could go on
till number 9 too understand noumenon/phenomenon thru numbers!
IMHO'The Word' is put as first -rather than the silence/source it obviously
comes from- because it’s through "The 'Word' that we know of the silence
/source? Its somewhat like numbers 0,1 & 2. Number 1 is the quality of
becoming aware of all that is zero; that aware/and thus alive zero is ..2.(and
thus 2 Has diff qualities from 0) ) But it required number 1...for us to know
of zero/ or in our discussion- know source/silence....or there would be no one
to know about/speak/discuss!
God'
/'Consciousness'/Spirit implies a dynamic state of being... a kinetic state of
perfection….not something finished and done with! As consciousness experiences /expresses/ revels in
Itself, through its 'individuation's', It expands/deepens/enriches Itself...and
then 'that' enriched consciousness/god/spirit has more to experience/express
and revel in... ever more...infinitely..(in linear language, because of course
all of this 'happens' in the now!) and thus individuates/ sets forth again…and
again…always from this infinitely ‘more’ enriched experience of Itself….It’s
the paradox of how All That Is ...ever becomes 'more'!
Then Consciousness begins a new dream/play/game... through which to experience
,express explore and revel in Self ; thus again it individuates into
unconscious beings to become Conscious again...and again! Through each such 'cycle'(also called one day of Brahma)
it expands/deepens/enriches Itself...and then That enriched consciousness has
more to experience/express and revel in....and thus individuates/
separates/sets forth again…and again…infinitely...always from this ‘more’
enriched experience of Itself….!In this is the paradox of how even 'All That
Is'...is infinitely a state of becoming 'more' ; how in spite of being 'All
That Is'...Consciousness is a dynamic state of being... a kinetic state of
perfection….not perfection that is finished and done with! (in linear
language;-)) because of course all of this 'happens' in the now!)
So many ask/think... so many ask
me why creation? Is God/Consciousness bored, unfulfilled that it chose to
create existence? So many think that only that someone/something that is
not complete would want to experience itself! But think: of a master artist who
then wants to paint for sheer pleasure; or the most accomplished singers...who
then want to sing for the joy of singing...or the fulfilled mother who wants to
enjoy the experience of her child growing up…or the complete lovers who as an
expression of that complete love want to make love ... best friends who are complete
together choose to play a game… all of these spring not from boredom
...not from
inadequacy/incompletion... but as an expression of one’s completion!
Being...is what consciousness’ is..! It’s not a noun... so
experiencing expressing, exploring, reveling in its perfection. And that’s the
answer as to why creation! |
