Self-realization

...hence:

Forget dogmas, explore the believer, religtards.
Question the questioner, and let the questions alone, science-tards.

just because you avoid saying "I" alot doesn;t mean you have no ego or whatever

notice with these quotes how many times this person keeps projecting a "you" , "yourself" ...

Everything that isn’t is also Consciousness."

Inflated ego is the problem, not ego as such.

i got caught a bit with that one, it's a pointless endevour to consider what is ego or not-ego

Awareness does not need any object to be aware.

The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive.

I wondered... can it be taught, but no was my conclusion

But we can speak towards it...

You have, and are doing that very well OP



Burn that happy hole in ones heart I say,


existence, what better a practical joke than one we play upon 'ourselves'

'We Are All God in Drag'... -- Ru Paul

It can be taught to those without prejudice ... even among those who can sense this is the ultimate solution to the Universe there are few who are willing to let go ...

Whether you are remembering the past or speculating about the future, it is always now. Memory is only a thought in this moment and so is speculation.

Thank You.

At that point,..you start getting busy and make people happy!!
I was lucky to wake up a decade ago.

Bump to abide.

The silence can lead you there, not words or thoughts.

That just happened.

Being receptive to spiritual practices and the like, the sensitivity is a double-edged sword. To be content even in delay may be speeding along. (talking to myself)

True. True.

Seems a good thing to do in a

situation such as this.

So, Thanks.

But who can be content for more than a moment in delay? I am just consoling myself. :) But contentment is said to be a gateway. I can't get over that - contentment is a gateway to liberation. Who can grab contentment? It's quite elusive. It comes only as a result of something else, from some kind of work in purification, or true giving.

seems fitting?

Nisargatta on occasion described the infinite consciousness (not sure of his term) as an immense solidity. Does anyone remember that? It's one with the stillness of mind reached through the various means.

It is completely still, yet totally exhilarated potential. It could be described as solid but there is no contraction about it.

You've got Eternity. Pace yourself. Make life a Dance.

Q: What is solid enough to build the world on cannot be mere illusion. beingness/the presence is the only changeless factor I am conscious of; how can it be false?

M: It is not the presence that is false, but what you take yourself („I am“) to be (being this or not-being that). You are nothing that you are conscious of. You cannot deny the present moment, mind or no mind.

"What is seen may undergo many changes when the light of awareness is focused on it, but it is the object that changes, not the light. Plants grow in sunlight, but the sun does not grow. By themselves both the body and the witness are motionless, but when brought together in the mind, both appear to move."

- Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj -


It is the object that changes, not the awareness of being, the I AM, the own presence.

So far you took yourself to be the movable and overlooked the immovable. Turn your mind inside out. Overlook the movable and you will find yourself to be the ever-present, changeless reality, inexpressible, but solid like a rock." ... discover the timeless reality behind your present state which is neither beginningless nor endless(only NOW). It is over in a flash. Watch carefully from where it comes and where it goes (edited).

M: Your mind is steeped in the habits of evaluation and acquisition and will not admit that the incomparable and unobtainable are waiting timelessly within your own heart for recognition.

All you have to do is to abandon all memories and expectations (imagination). Just keep yourself ready in utter nakedness and nothingness (not-a-thing-ness). From nothingness of mere awareness, this ‘I-am-ness’, the presence has appeared.

Q: Who is to do the abandoning?

M: God will do it. Just be aware of the need of being abandoned. Don't resist, don't hold on to the person you take/conceptualise yourself to be. Don't trust definitions and descriptions - they are grossly misleading.

Q: Maybe it is true, but, I feel, it is not the whole truth.

M: Know you own mind first. Do not try to know the truth, for knowledge by beingness/the presence/the I AM is not true knowledge. But you can know what is not true - which is enough to liberate you from the false. The idea that you know what is true is dangerous, for it keeps you imprisoned in beingness/the presence. It is when you do not know, that you are free to investigate. And there can be no salvation, without investigation, because non-investigation is the main cause of bondage.
