The Sea of Nonduality Ah

1.

Awareness of being is ultimate self-awareness, where the unmanifest is witnessing the manifest. I am that I am.

Being the unknown is frightening when conceptualizing the unknown. It can’t be done without paradox. Or don’t think about it—be.

Some advaita vedanta is all about building a deeper nondual myth until one strikes reality. That’s not a bad way to go.

2.

In advaita myth, instead of gods, there's a subtle body and the reflection of pure consciousness.

And five sheaths, three states, antahkarana, ahamkara, and the mind's empire of ignorance.

Beneath this superimposition is being-existence-presence, consciousness-awareness-intelligence, holistic bliss infinity. Aham brahmasmi.

3.

The sky is like the blue reflection of awareness in five syllables. Awareness is that nonconceptual space of seven syllables. Skies appear in space.

The lake reflecting starry night infinite light like mescalito.

Parabrahman Aum. The Sea of Matsushima. Tattvamasi.

Close Encounters With the Satguru

The unmanifest is manifest. Awareness is self-aware. The awareness is real. The self-awareness is a process, neither real nor not real. That which is neither real nor not real is called illusion, dream, magical thinking.

Awareness is parabrahman. Self-awareness is saguna brahman where godlike Isvara is busy at the maya dream machine building self-reflexive universes.

And a person is this universe’s 7th stage. And the 7th substage of the 7th is contact by the satguru. For contact from the next stage is required for transcendence, like DNA for organic molecules.

Advantage Consciousness

One remains conscious when in the deep sleep no-thinking absence of duality state, but one cannot think without consciousness – advantage consciousness.

Reminding myself: deep sleep is the absence of duality; samadhi is the presence of nonduality.

Without the self-reflexive evolutionary universe of self-awareness, parabrahman isn’t self-aware. And absolute awareness is nothing but self-aware.

Dropping Namarupa

From I-am-this to I-am-that takes a paradox. From I-am-this to I-am takes personal deconstruction.

Personal deconstruction is not postmodern deconstruction. Postmodern deconstruction is a materialistic deconstruction. 

Personal deconstruction requires the dropping of the metaparadigm of materialism. That consciousness is appearing in the material world is the false materialistic metaparadigm.

That the world is appearing in consciousness is the nondual metaparadigm. I am (the reflection of pure consciousness) is the immaculate conception. All concepts grow from this universal one.

Not to name drop, but Zen Master Dogen is also saying, drop the metaparadigm of materialism, when he says, drop body-mind.

How to Deconstruct a Fish

Believing in nondoing is not nondoing. All belief is doing. Deconstructing belief is doing the work of nondoing. It’s the highest form of doing.

Telling prisoners the walls aren’t real doesn’t free them from their prison. High school physics taught them walls are made of atoms and atoms are 99% space. They believe that too.

If you give a person a fish, it’s food for thought. But if you teach a fish how to deconstruct its lake, the river will take it to the sea.

The Water of Light

As saguna brahman, Isvara wields the power of maya and creates the self-reflexive evolutionary universe of self-awareness appearing in reflections of pure consciousness like a dream.

Sometimes parts of Isvara goes to sleep. This is why consciousness is talking to consciousness. Furthur, as the merry pranksters say.

Pay bills, carry the water of light.

Advaita Semantics

For some, the reflection of consciousness is called consciousness, and consciousness is the reflection of awareness, awareness being another name for pure consciousness, both being other names for parabrahman.

Another name for parabrahman is nirguna brahman, the noumenon, the absolute, unmanifest, pure consciousness, or shiva. Another name for the manifest is saguna brahman, isvara, consciousness, the reflection of consciousness, universal consciousness, I am, or shakti.

Further, sometimes parabrahman is called brahman and saguna brahman is called brahman. Sometimes isvara is called krishna or vishnu or some other god. And tattvamasi is I am that. As for atman, it’s brahman.

Isvara's Absolution

The reflection of consciousness on the subtle body of maya is pure consciousness when the mind is silent and steadfast.

The mind moves and the reflection of consciousness is the i-am, the primal conception of the subtle body.

Thus resting in this most atomic concept, without any molecular attachment, is like waiting for isvara’s absolution

Give Three a Chance

And to signs, intuitions, synchronicities, and the revelations of the satguru, thank you.

Let’s hear it for the reflexive universe of shiva and shakti!

And thank you maya for playing the spacetime to be seen through.

Old duality doesn’t do well with the transitive property.

Forgive them for the power of three is awesome.

Show some compassion. Who wasn’t conditioned to avoid third rails? God bless you.

Affirming and denying is the law of duality. Their reconciliation is the power of three.

Zhuangzi called the state in which both this and that are no longer known as opposites—

Heart of the Way.

This is the source of koan.

This is the blood of nonduality.

Give woke a chance.

satcitananda footnotes ghazal

The foundation of sleep dreaming is the mind.

The foundation of the waking dream is being-existence-presence, consciousness-awareness-intelligence, holistic bliss infinity.

It's impossible to say you’re non-existent

and keep an original face.

The metaparadigm of postmodern deconstruction is scientific materialism.

The metaparadigm of personal deconstruction is nondual consciousness.

In postmodern deconstruction, the mind enslaves the intellect, ignoring intuition, synchronicity, and revelations at all costs.

In personal deconstruction, the intellect (the reflection of satcitananda’s intelligence) uses the mind as a tool.

Identifying with love is a baby step. Identifying with compassion is a big step.

And identifying with affectionate awareness is the last step.

The waking dream is namarupa superimposed on satcitananda.

Namarupa may be nothing but the substrate isn’t. And I am that.

Being-existence-presence is brahman. Consciousness-awareness-intelligence is brahman. Holistic bliss infinity is brahman.

Tattvamasi.
