Everything Appears in Brahman

Like reflections in a lake, like dreams in a mind, like movies on a movie screen, everything appears in Brahman.

Such reflections, dreams, and movies are nothing but Maya—like mirages miraculously occurring in the desert air or snakes suddenly superimposed on a strand of rope.

Because the body is reflecting in that Lake of Existence, it seems to exist. Because the mind is flourishing in that Ground of Consciousness, it looks to be conscious. Look closer, there is nothing but Brahman.

2. Brahma Says Brahman

All you need is Brahman. Luckily for you, Brahman is all there is.

Saguna Brahman is for all those people looking for Nirguna Brahman. Love!

God, Brahma, passes on the truth from preceptor to preceptor:

your real self is reality itself. Atman is Brahman.

3. no things

In the dream state, everything is made of mind.

In truth, the mind is made of Maya.

Everything is made of Brahman.

In reality, there are no things.

4. a fifth of november

I love Plum Island in November when forbidden dunes are like the Snowy Owl Mountains and that Big A across the Gulf of Maine is just a kiss of Manitou away.

I love the lavender sunsets of November when leaves have fallen from my picture window revealing a shimmering Venus and her sparkling crescent necklace moon.

And I love that space of pure consciousness in which this dream state is appearing like a grand monadnock through a sacred primeval cathedral of eastern pines.

Because the body is reflecting in that Lake of Existence, it seems to exist.

Because the mind is flourishing in that Ground of Consciousness, it looks to be conscious.

Look closer, there is nothing but Brahman.

And all you need is Brahman. Luckily for you, Brahman is all there is.

Everything is made of Brahman. In reality, there are no things.

I love the lavender sunsets of November and I love that space of pure consciousness in which this dream state is appearing.

Silently Witnessing Movies

1. like the movie screen

Consciousness is the ground of life. They call Consciousness the mind of the mind.

The mind sees what the eye sees and writes a screenplay. Consciousness is the witness—

not like a moviegoer but like the movie screen, without which there is no movie.

2. like werewolves of London

The body-mind is dead on arrival without unborn consciousness.

The body-mind is reflected consciousness, like the moon, like werewolves of London.

The body-brain complex itself is insentient. Do not identify with death my darlings.

3. like heartbeats in a great silence

I am the light in which the Sun God is appearing.

This Sun God wields the moons of maya and the tides of earth and the rivers of one's lifeblood.

Dreams come and go like heartbeats in a great silence.

4. remember that

The Big Bang is this expression of that Great Silence.

I am not an expression. I am that in which this expression appears.

When the expression gets too loud, remember that.

a. the greatest hits of 241102st

Not like a moviegoer but like the movie screen, without which there is no movie.

The body-brain complex itself is insentient. Do not identify with death my darlings.

I am the light in which the Sun God is appearing.

When the expression gets too loud, remember that.

Carnac Says Brahman

Am I the puppet or the puppeteer, the wet sponge or the water, reflected consciousness or consciousness?

Am I this attention or that awareness? Am I this being or that satcitananda?

One sun is divided by 8 billion people. Two hundred billion trillion stars are appearing in the bliss of holistic infinity. Who am I?

2. the ancient math of meditation

The mind is the light of reflected consciousness. Literally it's the brain on fire.

Attention equals awareness focused by the mind. Attention minus thought equals awareness. This is the ancient math of meditation.

Science calls the nonduality of that holistic infinity a black hole because Brahman can't be measured by the instruments of mind.

3. being real

The real is known to be the real self by being real.

Whether attention equals awareness plus thought or awareness equals attention minus thought, awareness is always X.

Lucid dreaming sees through the dreamer.

4. to tattvamasi

The world of war is an effect of divided consciousness.

Love is consciousness reunited—it feels so good because we understood.

Consciousness is the ground from which the lotus of this universe is flowering in tattvamasi.

5. lotus of self-awareness

This world of war is the result of divided consciousness.

Love is consciousness reunited—it feels so good because that's understood.

Consciousness is the ground from which that lotus of self-awareness is flowering.

Praise Be

From the point of view of this universe, universal consciousness is the nondual absolute parabrahman

endowed with attributes, named Saguna Brahman, Isvara, God, and Its Sword of Power called Maya.

There’s no universal consciousness either. There’s only pure consciousness upon which The Grand Illusion is appearing.

I am Saturday’s child. I was born in December. Praise be the resurrection of the sun from the black hole of our winter solstice.

God and Its Sword of Power

1. From the point of view of this universe

From the point of view of this universe, universal consciousness is the nondual absolute parabrahman endowed with attributes, named Saguna Brahman, Isvara, God, and Its Sword of Power called Maya.

All people have a God. They’re only sold in sets. There are no atheists in this universe. There are only people in-between Gods.

They say even realized ones aren't exempt to this law. They’re just not people anymore. Their real self is no longer a personal one. Atman is Brahman.

2. The Grand Illusion

Of course there’s no individual consciousness. There’s only universal consciousness steeped in ignorance.

There's no universal consciousness either. There’s only pure consciousness upon which The Grand Illusion is appearing.

Your self minus ignorance equals Brahman minus Maya. In samsara, I am somebody. In God, I am. In reality, there is the principle of existence.

3. Ode to Autumn Sun

In October photosynthesis fails. In November, daylight savings time ends. December hits rock bottom.

Halloween marks the end of early autumn. November marks the beginning of the end.

I am Saturday’s child. I was born in December. Praise be the resurrection of the sun from the black hole of our winter solstice .

A Synthesis of 241026

The nondual way of self-control is not about morality, the lower understanding of religion.

It’s being less of a person so the real one will shine through.

Unconditional love is breathing that essence of bliss.

Bliss is that holistic infinity, nonduality, of Parabrahman.

I am that silver screen upon which an ego is superimposed like a biopic.

A Big Bang appears in the Great Silence.

In the Great Silence

In the beginning is everything. This beginning appears in the beginningless.

A Big Bang appears in the Great Silence.

No cat, no cradle, no space, no time. Only Satcitananda and that power of three.

That Silver Screen

My body needs food. My car needs gas. I need nothing. I am everything.

I am that pure consciousness, that open head of awareness,

that silver screen upon which an ego is superimposed like a biopic.

Satcitananda BC

The body-mind is, by itself, inert matter, yet an existent thing per the principle of existence.

The ground of consciousness gives this body-mind action and intelligence. And mind, memory, and ego.

Unconditional love is breathing that essence of bliss. Bliss is that holistic infinity, nonduality, of Parabrahman.

Letting Reality Shine Through

The nondual way of self-control is not about morality, the lower understanding of religion. It’s being less of a person so the real one will shine through.

Detaching from the personal is the first step. The I-Am makes a good halfway home. Detaching from the universal is that last stepless step.

But viveka is job one. If I don’t see the difference between reality and nonreality, consciousness and dream, the rest really doesn’t matter.
