Brahma's Equation

1. Brahma's Equation

The reflection of pure consciousness in the subtle body of the complex nervous system is called consciousness.

It’s called consciousness because people think it’s the pure stuff but it’s not. The mind doesn’t produce consciousness.

Even the greatest of minds is merely appearing within its nondual omnipresence like the stuff of dreams.

The ordinary consciousness of attention equals the substrate of pure consciousness plus the superimposition of thought.

a. Of the Gods, Brahmā – the Creator and the protector of the universe – was self-born, first gave out the knowledge of Reality (Brahmavidyā), the Knowledge of all knowledges, the foundation for all sciences, to his own eldest son Atharvā.

~Mundaka 1.1.1 (tr-Chinmayananda)

2. This Country of Maya

In this country of Maya, the phenomenon usurps the noumenon. The reflection of consciousness usurps pure consciousness. Consciousness is thought to be attention. Attention minus thought equals I, the witness consciousness.

3. Advaita is Neither

When the dream becomes myth, print the myth—because scientific materialism has not been able to (nor ever will) prove its theory that consciousness is a product of the body-mind—and because all religious-isms appear in consciousness fool—advaita is neither science nor belief.

4. A Snake Appears

Pure consciousness is the ground in which a snake appears. Adam eats an apple. Eve surrenders. The mind is a superimposition. To know the truth, you must see through the superimposition. Maya is going nowhere.
