The Paradoxical Realization in the GREATEST Spiritual Story Ever Told
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- The paradoxical realization a sage discovers after enlightenment is the outcome of what happens to all the functions of the mind when one has an unobstructed view of the nature of reality. In this episode of The Sacred Word, I will explain an important verse from the Ashtavakra Gita, a text one is ready to assimilate after enlightenment. The Ashtavakra Gita is for those to absorb oneself in the presence of the Ultimate Reality after awakening.

Imagine not having to participate in the crazy story the world is living, and live the inner truth, living how it feels correct and true. That is peace and maturity.
Upside down world teaches lessons. Letting go is no longer having fear of the system. Their rules do not apply.
Isnt that just pure cubed stagnation???? sounds like hell!!! we need purpose!!!
@@avavavavaz But there is another story, the real story, not based on what was told us by our ancestors, but on what we actually feel that is true.
@@davidd7140 yeah i figured it out thru hours and hours of studying the esoteric sciences.
But can one really do that ?
To put it simply... Life starts to matter again, but for the right reasons. Gratitude takes over and everything gets better.
It’s INFINITLY reflective
"The Attitude of Gratitude" has saved me on countless occasions.
People don’t realize that your not going to lose your personality. It’s more like your super ego ends. Which allows your mind to quiet and not be judgmental. I am all for sharing old texts but sometimes these should be shared with modern psychology. Love listening to your channel!
One finds out they're full of shit and so is everyone else, and everything. Especially when I'm being ultra spiritual.
No, that's not it
Yes our combination of memories is still a huge part of who we are in the physical reality, even if we egodeath we still have our memories.
The deeper down the rabbit hole one goes the less they remain what they were before the journey started thus the old personality begins to disappear.
It was the old personality that kept them from journeying in the first place but a new light shines before them thus that first step into the void was the life changing principle and the previous system of beliefs and models are cast aside and a new set of concepts and theories are adopted suffusing a personality change ~
Grandfather John
@Kal That sounds like a word for word description of 'one' of Freud's ideas, this idea in particular Freud describing the human pysche also known as The Personality Theory from a psychoanalysis point of view.
I am reminded of something I realized and wrote down after a meditation this week; Depression is a Doorway to Divine Discovery. Some of you can relate and understand. Jim Carey interpreted "depressed" as "deep rest" from the character/story of yourself you have bought into & attached to.
Oh how true. A deep rest from the character/story of ourselves. Nice! Most of us look to take a holiday from our external lives but what we need is a holiday from our own constructed stories of ourselves. 🙂
@@carolt8073 One of my affirmations is "You have everything you need, and you don't need everything you have." It rings true in all of our lives in different ways at different times & really helped to ground and guide me through the turbulent times.
As a depressive most of my life but just carrying on with it I agree with your "Doorway to Divine Discovery" statement. It will not leave you alone like having to hold onto a large rock while going through life...and so you don't get any attachments to anything and eventually there is a whole new chapter that opens up in your life that introduces you to a wonderful meadow.
@@furtywelsh3482 9
@@Veej77 yes! i love that wonderful meadow metaphor. Behind that depression doorway is a long dark corridor, but if you simply accept not being ok and not knowing when you will be, surrender to the process, and trust that you will eventually See the Light, once I emerged from that corridor i felt like i had won the lottery, bliss, peace, serenity like I never tasted before
"...A liberation that is embodied when the identity itself has disappeared." Such an eloquent distinction on the experience of awakening ✨
Where the verb "embodied" is a metaphor for an experience that cannot be expressed in words. The words, letters, alphabets, numbers and symbols of human languages are not reality; rather, they are man-made illusions and thus are magic and fantasy. All explanations of "enlightenment" in the spirit sense are meaningless. The ultimate answer to the Zen koan, "Who am I?" is stillness and silence.
@@jivanvasant well said

I think it's a daoist quote, it speaks of water only being able to reflect the surrounding environment with clarity when still. Beautiful
I've seen the whirlpool in meditation. I hadn't meditated for about 15 years after attaining no-mind, It calmed and in I went back to peace. Peace is compassion, our natural state. Thank you for this information ;)
Thank you, Jason. We all benefit from these lessons; a quiet mind is so needed in these unsettled days.
LOVE & HUGS
I found my awakening very difficult. I went into this state of recognising that nothing really mattered and everything I had done before was about soothing my ego self. To comfort it because it felt so afraid in the world and it was always reaching outward. When I went into my true awakened state I floated around for a few weeks seeing that nothing had any purpose. Then I soon realised that I couldn’t live in this state of nothingness and bliss as my time here was to learn the human lessons. I really didn’t want to go back into the school of life but I did and it hit hard. I now live between t he two states of enlightenment and awareness of the ego self. I’m still finding balance because I’m aware that to live in this planet I need the ego state to function.
This is what started my laughter
@@JohnCampbellmarleybikes from what I've heard called, the cosmic joke?
@@JohnCampbellmarleybikes I had a lot of laughter too. I found the pointlessness of everything I previously deemed important just funny. But then watching others going through the rigmarole of it all made me laugh too.
@@JohnCampbellmarleybikes it is no laughter people fall into no mind state can b really bad for many as it depletes them of thr memories Nd thr attachments towards life.... In a way it is death, or ur born anew, like a baby, nothing to B really very happy abt... Ur perception can raise but thr is a fall off that can b really worry some or many can get disillusioned too.... Enlightenment is not always a one way street
Yes! I know exactly what you mean! I laughed maniacally for days! Hahahaha 😆 now the world is your playground, sister! Create and laugh and love it!
Tapping into that energy source is overwhelming joy. Our physical bodies cannot handle that and usually it ends up with laughter which disappates the energy.
Thank you for putting me on to the Astavakra Samhita . I'm reading it now and it's got me open!
It is simply magnificent.
Perfect... The Sacred Word is Me! Mass and energy... This is the Ultimate Reality... All is One.
Excellent as usual my friend. I remember the first time I swerved into the ancient teachings of the mystics. The learning curve was exponential, and it was somewhat startling that I could comprehend it. Such brilliance in teaching was an experience in humility. I remember thinking to myself, I will always be a student. Namaste🕉💜
Shutting off the internal dialogue can be practiced any time you have a free moment.
Great video. You are right. The paradox is that when you lose your identity, you actually gain your true identity. Only it's only perceivable by others, not yourself.
I recall the outstanding depressive periods. Pulling at my hair. Having moments where I felt like there's no way love would still be available with no sense of self. And then throwing on top of it a confirmed diagnosis for mental disorder (slowly becoming Moon Knight)..what keeps me going along this inner journey is knowing these symptoms are something like outrageous stage fright. And that's the honesty. Isolation from others, if not outright rejection..lack of trusting oneself can claim so much passion. But, I do know that is my true nature because we I confirm that clear headed vantage point is in effect, I feel whole. It is a gift that can be muted if I allow but never destroyed because I Am
These enlightenment teachings come to some people naturally.
The natural way of things is so beautiful and is perfect! A quote from some past human that I like to say.
He who sits in the dark, is the bringer of light
Excellent my dear Jason!
You know , when my kundalini wake in March 18/2012 I was already meditating for many many years.
Although after “she” woke up, from that day , I was shocked by this experience…I was not able to meditate anymore , and 10 years pass Jason and I couldn’t meditate anymore.
I did try many many times, but my mind became like a hurricane.
Very Scary to a point indeed.
Finally this year & to be precise a week a go, I was finally able to return to meditations.
My mind now is very strong, steady.
I have the lucky to received help from Tibetan lamas and this make all
The difference.
Wake of kundalini is very serious and should be done with responsibility.
The process is different for each one , but there is a tremendous difference to go through to this process in retreats or monasteries or caves, & other thing completely different is go through this process in a world where we call outside (when u have family, daughter/sons and a life to take care of).
And yes, your personality indeed dissolve (in a caos way I would say) until you find yourself again, and when this moment happen you will
Never be the same again.
The compassion for all living things on this universe became so Cristal
Clear and part of you, solid, beautiful, meaningful.
I would call the real gift 🧡❤️ on this paradox.
Thank you Jason !
So much gratitude for sharing such important knowledge.
❤️🧡🙏🏻
Hi Graca. Your comments were so relevant for my own experience. When kundalini awakening happened to me (after a sudden shock) I don't know how I managed to get through it all. I had no idea what had happened to me and I had to hold down a demanding job in a corporate environment. It was a wild ride and took a long while to settle down. My perception of the world changed overnight and there was no one to talk to about it, all while I was processing grief. But the "boons" of coming through this trial were many. I lost my fear of life and death, gave up day-dreaming, and found joy in just about everything, and I could see life so clearly. I experienced divine love and saw God manifest in this world. I am not the same person now either and I feel I have in fact constructed another kind of personality, but without the limitations I had before. We still have to operate in the world amongst other people, meet our obligations to others and fit into society. Thank you for sharing your experience, Graca. ❤
@@carolt8073
Is such a good feeling to know that we are not alone , that in one place someone understand us regarding this process ❤️
Thank you Carol for let me know 🧡❤️
Wish u that love always be your guide, today & all Days of our life 🙏🏻
Love Light & Sound

This energy can be released in more ways than just meditating. Realization is the quickest path in which you go past the ego to a higher state. The problem, as you have seen,
is that the human body is not able to handle these outputs of overwhelming joy-energy. You literally cannot experience any negative emotions in that state when
sustained. It is energy that goes beyond mere emotion. In my case I always end up laughing which I call the "cosmic joke". It rapidly disappates and closes off from there.
I have loved this text, The Ashtavakra Gita, for many years. Thanks.
Another favorite is the Ahadhut Gita. Right now we read a few verses from Song of Ribhu each evening before meditation.
You are more Hindu than most of the Hindus today.
@@RichardClarkeAdvaita - Avadhuta Gita - Yes ! I agree with you !

22 now, never thought my mind would be as calm as it is now until i was at least a few more years down the line, but this is only after years of constant attempts, it wont be instant, its a lot of work, but definitely worth it. People seem to gravitate towards me, hear my unbiased opinions, any issues that come with life im able to deal with smoothly because of my clear view, i can be my true self unapologetically. Keep at it, check your ego, leave no side of your mind unexplored.
Have to add, be grateful for everything. Everything. & Do not let social pressures guide your decisions, they're rooted in you deeper than one would originally observe, what we think is important is really not, but thats just part of life
Awesome bro.
I’m 20. My mom passed at 17. Got dumped at 18. Struggled with accepting my sexuality until today. Have hypothyroidism. I have so many things I want to get done on earth. I hope one day I’ll love myself if that’s possible or get through the mental barrier.🤞🏽

Agreed Excellent as usual! Back just before the craziness became obvious (to some) a voice loud & clear said "Prepare to lose your identity." I didn't know what that truly meant but with watching your videos, reading your books & the path I have been guided on I am beginning to have a better understanding & the amazing wonders of losing Karen's identity. This video was a BIG help! Thank you so much!!!🙏🕉☯
Prepare to lose.....or ready to b infinite
I appreciate this video. It seems to me that the more vrittis in someone's mind, the more they are proud to have 'personality', whereas when treading the spiritual path, one aims to calm these knots of energy in order to see clearly. But in this Western world at least, the one with obvious personality is valued more than the genuine sage. People compete to be the biggest and the best even in the most minor things of life and conversation. Those such as Jason, who understand clearly, are rare, and many thanks for these helpful videos.
How we use ego, to bring peace or knots. Lol yeah.
This is so true
Jason, listening to you has made me well up with tears. Infinite gratitude to you for the wisdom you are propagating.
Thanks for making content easy to grasp. 🙏🏻
It is ironic how easy it is to understand and comprehend what you're explaining once we simply relax and open our minds, but at the same time extremely difficult to reach that level of comprehension.
Ong you can try but if you just sit with god you realize it’s all already there lol
Enlightenment is also not getting rid of yourself but learning to live more fully and abundantly. You are an individual point in the whole. You don’t rid yourself of your point of perception at enlightenment. Merging with the one is misunderstood. Reality is nondual. We must view things correctly so we do not create unintentionally imperfect ideals like death and suffering.
thank you for your time, energies and research...
This power of mind release feels to be ever present awaiting its chance to come through but our resistance interferes with the experience. It’s a pull away from ordinary thought but an embrace of love and the living as all that is. This is what I feel we will all get to do eventually.
Thank you, so so so much for this video post/message! Exactly as and when I needed to hear it too 😊. (Payday on Friday, setting alarm note for Friday to donate ❤- thank you for all you do and the energy you put out there- most of all thank you for taking your time/thoughts/efforts to such a height and the bravery/courage to speak your peace, ambition and faith- a friend at my table always). In a time of such chaos it’s easy to get distracted from our divine connection to the universe, a wake up call is a godsend in disguise to me- I’m ready to get going though 💪🏼
✅ alright alarm set 🧘🏻♀️🙂☺️
Thank You Jason for sharing. Your videos are very helpful.
WE ARE STUCK IN REALM OF DESIRE... narrow path through eye of needle where your heart is weighed against a feather...
Loved this. Thank you!
Incredible! Joy joy joy!!! Thank you and bless you beloved. 😍🤩😍🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
More first class content. Keep the good stuff coming Jason 🙏🕉
Beautiful. Thankyou. I did this once and my whole world changed. It's just a matter of being consistent with the practice.
Good News! i discovered that the brain/body is capable of setting itself Totally Free of fear, anxiety, sorrow, despair, loneliness, shame, guilt, confusion, addictions, and all other mental/emotional afflictions, once and for all, now and forever.
This gave birth to True Love, Peace, Joy, Goodness, Kindness, Creativity, & Clarity, for the very first time, in each & every moment of daily life, 24/7, once and for all, now and forever.
Not the love, peace, joy, that the I, the me, the self, the thinker, the mind, the psyche, the consciousness, imagines it to be, which is a limitation, imitation, and distortion.
It didn't take time. It had nothing whatsoever to do with time, effort, or choice. It occurred faster than the speed of light.
The children are ready to be set Totally Free at the earliest age so they don't waste their entire lives with any mental disturbances.
Great work Jason peace and love to you
My journey of reaching the God within me has shaken off all or most of the stubborn conditioning, I'm glad I'm US now
Beautifully explained. Thank you.

Living in the present helps me pray, love and serve despite the chaos of the world! It is so refreshing!
A paradox is a great big sign saying move beyond it continue on move forward over it under around it through it ✌️
Blessed by what We Are. 🔥💖🌸♾🌸💖🔥
Great explanation and translation!
Living life with an open mind to enjoy experiences as they are, then learn from those experiences. Free will to live life, but not take life from others.
Yes it is simply experienced you no longer have thoughts and questions coming from you when empty of all mental constructed instead you now have answers coming to you. Directly from the spirit. It is a sacrifice of your mentally constructed self. All the energy it takes to think and have a mental identity falls down into the heart center and instead just being is experienced
Interesting and informative. Thank you Jason
None can talk, explain, convince to one what the truth is... The truth is silent, wordless, shapeless, unexplainable, it is timeless, and again those are just words which again try to give the nameless a name...
The "truth" is like the loving heart it can never find words to explain and say to the beloved how much he/she loves her/him. It stays better in silence in the eternal present moment as if the loving one tells any word to his/her beloved of the amount he/she loves it shall loose all the " TRUTH" and become conditioned, it would become a matter, it would take a form, but the truth is Formless, wordless it can only exist in the Eternal Silence....
I like to think of it as the end of conditioned thinking. No longer swayed by what we’re told we need, but realize what our true needs are. ✌️💜🤙🧘♂️👌
Thank You
Beautiful 🙏🏻❤️
Gratitude 🙏
Once I stopped going to bed with a rambling mind full of the things of the world my mornings became joyful and calm. I play mediation music the last moments before sleep.
Meditation before sleep become 1000% more powerful
We have a higher self that is our baseline. It is that mental part of us that can look at our life, detached from it. It can be hard for some to relocate it within their hurt. But it is there. We emerge not knowing that and we experience life and we judge it as we go along. This fills us with experiences, and we live from those experiences. But they are not who we are. We must find ways to let go of the things we carry, the emotional hurt, as that is the very thing that ruins our lives unless we wake up and figure that out. We have to seek emptiness. Poor in spirit. Clear the mote from our eye. All analogous terms to let this go, because it hurts us. Then we re-emerge into our higher self, enjoying life, not being taken on an out of control ride on the emotional roller coaster. We live feeling free, not obligated.
Blessed are those who are depressed. For only they are standing at the door, though locked, of truth, of freedom, of eternal bliss, which can't be given, so can't be taken away, by the world. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you 💖
Wonderful insights
Thank you!
I have been able to quiet my mind so easily. I could do it for an hour but any longer I find myself in a prophecy state, but have the doubt that comes with such an idea. Until it comes to fruition or comes to light that it was not a dream.
I truly try to learn what this planet in the moment has to offer.. and it teaches me, what I thought I knew, I don't really know and the opposite happens to what is for certain.
It plays tricks and lies. It's a visual illusion, yet in trying to convince it uses pain or what seems to be pain to back the illusion. May it be physically or mentally.
Excellent 😊.
Thanks!!
When it all doesn't matter...suddenly it ALL matters. To let go of what one holds only to realize the loss of a moment.
wonderful video.
"I don't see the paradox of which you speak,
As existing within the vajra-speech of the Gita.
Yet, your explanations bring joy, and not anger;
May your confusions ring throughout my mind."
Mahā Brahma Tathāgata 'Ham
The abyss of nothingness is key and relaxing. Its full of love and connection. Yet the mind likes to question and wonder and wakes the existence and answers. If we ask if there is something else, the mind will answer yet won't fa-fill what a difference it seems until we seek the hill after falling in the valley. But we are always connected to the balance and may always go back.
Enlightenment is an experience, you don't stay there. Suchness is beyond concept.
I think so too. People who live a relaxed life: tend sheep, have routine, boring, repetitive jobs can afford such a state of mind. I cannot imagine, for example, a busy mother or the head of a company being able to live this way. These are people who create and act. I was in this strange state. And what? And nothing. chitta vritti and the bills won't pay themselves 😜 But I've learned one thing: when I look at a sheep staring at me mindlessly: do the same. I won't be ashamed of being alive.
The mind and body is connected, if the body is at ease the mind follows
Body is merely a pattern in matter and in turn matter is mass-energy. Spirit is pure energy and so that are not disimilar. By that
standard spirit should be able to affect body too.
Melting of the mind means you are able to let go with no attachment of any thoughts!! Therefore no creation of any image and follow no desire!! Thus the self is revealed and remain the observer!! The problem is that the observer become one with the observed!! The whole universe seems to come out of the self!! Reality and dream become one!! The self remain only the permanent and therefore the true reality!! Then knowing this ultimate truth you are free from delusion!!!!!
Wow, Amazing 🇰🇪
From an Osho talk.
What did you do in those years immediately after your enlightenment?
It is a difficult question. The first thing was that a great silence, almost unbreakable, followed the experience, as if the mind had stopped functioning. There was nothing to do about it - except to watch. It was difficult for my family, my friends. Obviously, they thought I had gone mad.
My family has always been worried about me, concerned that I’m not following the well-trodden path and I am moving into dangerous experiments; the danger of going mad was easily conceivable.
And when I stopped speaking - it would be better to say that the speaking stopped itself, I was not a partner to it - people would ask questions and I would not even be able to give answers to simple things.
For almost two years, inside it was a tremendous rejoicing. Outside, it became a trouble. The people who thought they were trying to help me were really a nuisance. I should have been left alone to myself. But they were worried that I may go deeper into this madness.
They could also feel that I am not miserable, that I am immensely happy. But mad people ordinarily are happy, are rarely miserable. So that was not against their idea of madness; on the contrary, it was supportive of the idea that something should be done to me.
They were bringing people thought to be wise, and I was really amazed that these people were not even in the category of the commonsense people. They were full of the garbage of the scriptures.
Just one man, a man who was not known to be a wise man, met me in those days - and he was the only sane man in those two years of my silence. He was a strange beggar - strange because he was respected by many people, but he was a beggar. His only possession was simply a small mug. Because of that mug, he was called Magga Baba. People would drop money or food or anything into his mug. And he would not prevent others who wanted to take money from his mug or things that others had dropped into it. He would be as willing to those who wanted to take money out of it…
One of my uncles thought that perhaps this man could be of some help. He was silent, or sometimes he would speak gibberish. You could not understand what he was saying. Nobody could even figure out what language it was; it was no language. He was just like small children when they start speaking for the first time - they go on saying anything, repeating anything.
But the man had some magnetic quality. During the rains he used to lie down at night under the awning just in front of his shop. I had seen him a few times and he had smiled whenever I had seen him - he was not far away from my place. His smile was of great understanding.
And when my uncle thought that it would be good to bring Magga Baba and “see what he does to him,” Magga Baba was brought. His bringing was also a special kind; you could not invite him because he was not on talking terms with anybody. He would not say “yes” or “no.” You simply had to bring a rickshaw and catch hold of him. He would not refuse. At least three times he was stolen, because his followers in other villages simply took him away. They would sit him in a rickshaw - and he was willing, he was not resistant or anything. He enjoyed the ride and he went there. But then hundreds of his followers here missed him.
So my uncle went with a few of his friends and put Magga Baba in a rickshaw and brought him home. He came close to me and whispered in my ear, “This is it. And don’t be worried about these people; they are all mad.” Perhaps this was the first time he had spoken to anybody without any gibberish.
Everybody gathered around. It was a trouble for them to figure it out because Magga Baba would not say what he had whispered, and I was not going to say what he had whispered. But one thing they felt, that Magga Baba was very happy with me. He hugged me and left.
That helped my family and friends: “There may be something we are not understanding” - but others thought that both are mad. “He is an old madman, famous; now he has got another one also.”
But still it was a great solace that there was one man who was able to understand me. And because of his understanding me, I started slowly to speak - because perhaps there may be a few more people who can be helped. Maybe they are just on the verge. But as I began speaking… It came in the same way as silence had come, just as if the whole ocean of silence… and when I started speaking the same was the case with speaking. Suddenly the mind started functioning and I was speaking continuously.
People started coming to me, asking my advice. People started coming to me to lecture in their congregation, in some conference, in some other city. I was discoursing sometimes five times a day, almost the whole day, in different conferences and different meetings, colleges, universities. And my silence was untouched. "
Some vritti we must embody while others we must avoid. It’s not calming the waters but finding harmony and learning proper use of thought forces and the physics that encompany them.
You don't really have to worry, once you realise - "Everything is me."
4:34. " ..and only those who are sincere and go they the process understand what he's trying to say.. "
That is so true. I am proof
Agree, detachment is the way. Do not confuse with irresponsibility.
to describe the enlightened one as a crazy fool is very apt as it is a journey of going out of one's mind and to be enlightened happens by becoming lightened
Those darn vrittis!! Oh to be free of them...or better yet: Oh to befriend them rather than see them as foes. Thank you Jason.
Its very simple, reality is deliberate, you dont really have to have everything under control and run around in fear of being doomed.
But you will be left rather low on content when you diminish the importance of worldly endeavors. The issue is to later find any motivation to do anything.
I've been searching for objective truths my whole life. What I've found is: people behave differently when they know they are being observed or in specific social situations. Due to his we never really are getting truth from others. Nature is harsh, but consistent and measurable, people aren't.
Nice
Spirituality is only one aspect of a complete human archetype. A true balanced archetype holds the ability to be material, and order the world. Not to live in endless boundless space, regardless of how many universal truths you may visit in your mind, it does not impact the world the way it is required to shape it for human success.
Great freedom for your own suffering if you understand the role of the mind and emosions being trigerd by mind.. and the observer wich is you.. can look at a distance at the working of mind.. and kontroling its working
Now yoga is explained! Yoga is the cessation of the revolutions of the mind.
Simply put principals Before expressing the personality?
I find the teachings of the enlightened...colorful, delightfully magnetic. Degrees & levels of individuals at various stages & realms? Quiet the heart? Still water that never goes stagnate & toxic?
I try, shhh! Om❣
"I'm a very good sage, and I know my onions" (Charles Hawtry)
I had stillness of mind when I was on anti anxiety treatment. Life felt so good and all my emotional pains disappeared. But I had to stop treatment coz I know the side effects and dependency. I am in pain again…
I listened for about a minute before stopping, why would anyone serious about seeking enlightenment or higher power of reasoning or consciousness be afraid of them changing? The whole part of starting this journey was to seek the change that comes with the paths to a higher self, it should go without saying to anyone on these paths or seeking these paths the fundamental reasoning is to be changed into something. The difference is that we don't have to die because of metamorphosis, just as we are wise in our years as we are beautiful in our young, we don't die we change, just like a caterpillar to a butterfly.
The human body is similar to a battery for conscious projection. It feeds consciousness with experience in order to maintain balance within the cosmos. Every next thought takes power and energy to produce. Though the time seems instantaneous, the process exists eternally external within all that can be known and seen. Information is all there is. We are free to manipulate it all however we wish. The wish of eternal capture is the one that displays an infinitely expansive and indefinite pursuit. Unfulfilled are then the dreams, the scraps of mind forming conclusion to end the pursuit when energy levels are low. Once charged, the search for balance continues. Rising and falling, like waves. The ripples of being reverberate within the walls of universal life, birthing out of it another place and time where that in which had been can again be with us until we've chosen to let go..
We'll I feel and many vedic texts affirms that "it" Whatever you, call is non dualistic and hence above paradoxes. It is our intelligence or psychy that moves in two fold paths or opposite and hence "it" Is conveyed out to commoners in paradoxes.

@@sartemisa1 This evening. I'm at work.
Ram Dass said his Guru "Maharajji was one of the most foul mouthed people in existence".
Joseph Goldsteins teacher haggled over the cost of a loaf of bread and when asked why he said "enlightenment is about being simple, not being a simpleton".
The mind of an enlightened being is not dull, blank or boring. It is free of all the egoic thoughts and mind states that hold us back. it is wise as it watches all and succumbs to nothing, yet it is open to and welcomes everything.
There is NO SELF but there is a person. 🙏❤️
Go beyond the mind and into the body. 🙏🔥❤️
The center of the whirl"d. I am the eYe of the storm where even the calm-meants are tranquil. However those closest to me are in severe emotional distress as the wall of the eYe spin the fastest
I believe I have reached this state
Proud of my hindu 🕉️ heritage
