Symphony of Epistle Me and Prophecy You

You usurp the I and call it me. As if that consciousness is a creation of the body-mind,

you pray at the feet of science who’s yet to prove it.

Praying to the Christ is not a superstition but just giving a name to the godhead

of consciousness, like Krishna, in which the world is appearing like a powerful dream.

Devotion is the first step in turning away from all your scientific hocus pocus.

And devotion to consciousness itself is the middle way

as identifying with consciousness is the direct way.

Toward jivanmukta, all three ways are legit. In whatever combination applied,

their earnest deconstruction beats your unsubstantiated and frantic belief, friend.

I bow to Sri Dakshināmūrti in the form of my guru:

I bow to Him by whose grace the whole of the world

Is found to exist entirely in the mind, like a city's image mirrored in a glass,

Though, like a dream, through maya’s power it appears outside;

And by whose grace, again, on the dawn of Knowledge,

It is perceived as the everlasting and non-dual Self.

~Shankara in Hymn to Sri Dakshināmūrti (tr-Nikhilananda)

Drive My Fast Car

Mindfulness is like paying the same attention to the actions of a body-mind as one would in driving a fast car. Consciousness is talking to consciousness. Consciousness is not a backseat driver.

First, there is devotion to the representative of consciousness. Next there is allegiance to consciousness itself. And finally there is identification with consciousness. No belief. Oneself.

Fact-checking

In devotion, consciousness is sometimes called spirit.

In pledging one's allegiance to consciousness, one is dedicated to that spirit of existence and holistic bliss infinity too.

Identification with consciousness is not identification with any belief. Identification with consciousness is, in fact, disidentifying with all belief.

The Last Belief

Nonduality is, in fact, the last belief. Letting go of nonduality is your personal apocalypse.

That's why letting go takes a lifetime—ba dum tss! Seriously though, you can't let go. It lets you go.

And It doesn't let you go until It knows you're ready to let go. So get ready already.

Getting Ready

There's no one way of getting ready. Basically, for the purposes of this paraverse, there's devotion, a middle way, and direct.

And all the weird combinations of that power of three per your singular conditioning.

I am hereby devoted to the raw intelligence of Maya. I now pledge allegiance to the universal consciousness of Isvara. I Atman Am That Brahman,
