Realization is a zen slap away.

Identifying with the principle of existence and disidentifying with the concept of death takes twenty years to life.

Whirlpool Number Nine

The mind identifying with itself is like the source of a great river believing it's the emptiness of one particular whirlpool yet we die there everyday.

Samsara is this reflection of consciousness bouncing around these dualities of mind. Space-time is appearing in that consciousness-existence which is enumerated as Turiyam. Om.

This world is created by divine imagination. One picture tells ten thousand stories. No island describes its surrounding seas either. Neither Robinson Crusoe nor Defoe may you be.

the source of a great river believing it's the emptiness of

one particular whirlpool yet we die there everyday

2. atman brahman duet

Samsara is

this reflection of consciousness

bouncing around

these dualities of mind.

Space-time is appearing

in that consciousness-existence 

which is enumerated as Turiyam.

Om.

3. that divine quartet

This world is created by divine imagination.

On Tattvamasi III

That thou art.
That you are.
I am that.

I minus avidya equals
that minus maya.

Atman is Brahman.

I plus nescience is 
the individual consciousness,
the jiva, the person.

That plus illusion is 
the universal consciousness, 
Isvara, God.

This person is 
attached to that God 
whether one knows it or not.

I love That.

Say Isvara

An individual is a component of the universal. Without the universal, there is no individual.

If a human individual possesses personality is that personality a component too?

Of a universal personality? Say Isvara? Let us pray.

Dominus Amazing

As scientific materialism is a paradigm, nonduality is the metaparadigm.

One doesn't lose consciousness. Only the mind turns on and off. As it is in deep sleep.

Maybe I am the ground within which everything appears in spring and disappears in the fall.

All Superimpositions Must Pass

One could say Brahman is smaller than a mustard seed and larger than the multiverse if Brahman didn't transcend space-time itself.

Brahman is, Gaudapada says, neither a seed of consciousness nor omniscient consciousness, neither unmanifested Maya nor that omnipotent Isvara.

Brahman is not reflected consciousness although reflected consciousness is Brahman. All brilliant names and shadowy forms appear in The Lake of Pure Consciousness.

Light Knows

God is like an overcoat one wears when acting like an individual. When acting like a God, one wears nothing but being. In reality, who's acting?

Nonduality rains. Variety appears. Consciousness holds your undivided attention.

The world is doing or not doing, decisions, decisions. Real power in Maya is nondoing, evolution, the will of God. The ground of consciousness always knows.
