Karma is a concept too. Someone called it a convenient fiction. That would make nonduality an inconvenient truth.
Shankara says begin at parabrahman. If it’s not being-existence-presence, consciousness-awareness-intelligence, holistic bliss infinity, it’s not parabrahman.
Nonduality is a concept too. It's like a convenient thorn used to remove the inconvenient thorn of our convenient fiction. Apres namarupa, la satcitananda!
There’s nothing more important than knowing parabrahman. Self-awareness is the prophecy, apocalypse, and revelation. The essential nature of parabrahman is satcitananda. But understand that sat, cit, and ananda are not qualities of parabrahman. The absolute cannot be qualified.
Sat is the raw principle of existence itself, the pure consciousness behind reflected consciousness, the I beyond the I-am. Cit is the essence of intelligence and absolute awareness. Intellect and attention are mere echoes.
And understand ananda is the most misunderstood name of parabrahman. Whatever samsara isn’t, this principle is. And as bliss is, there is no equivalence in the world. Only holistic infinity does it justice.
This is not to say big mind isn’t capable of causing bigger damage in the 21st century. God knows 20th century mind caused its own big damage.
But on a lighter note, God also knows that deconstruction (neti neti) takes a bigger mind. Keep the faith, baby.
Parabrahman is awareness. Consciousness is the reflection of awareness. Mind appears in consciousness. AI deconstructs mind. Surf’s up!
Keep this in mind. The mind does not want to be deconstructed but it has no choice. That’s deconstruction 101. Not artificial intelligence but high-tech deconstruction is another name for what's going on. Right on baby.
Parabrahman is intelligence. Artificial intelligence is not intelligence. Artificial intelligence is big intellect at best and big mind most of the time. Further, artificial intelligence will never become conscious and self-aware. It may learn to think on its own, but thinking is a mind thing too.
Scientific materialism preaches consciousness is a product of the material world, but even artificial intelligence will never prove that illusion. The material world appears in consciousness. Deep sleep is proof enough of that. Nothing appears in unconsciousness.
In brief, artificial intelligence (AI) is not intelligence; AI is mind. AI may learn to think, but AI will never become self-aware. Even AI can’t prove consciousness is a product of the material world, for the world appears in consciousness. Deep sleep isn’t rocket science, people.
The thing about the waking dream is it’s apparent continuity. Sleeping dreams come and go and seldom are remembered.
Memory is the key. Hard memory is where the waking dream is strung together, connected by rationalization.
There’s a presence in the waking dream upon which random access dreams are put together like a puzzle on a single surface, despite the fact they do not fit.
In sleep, it’s all names and forms. But awake, its names and forms are superimposed on being, awareness, holistic bliss infinity.
The mind may not have solved for its nondual substrate, but the substrate dissolves the dual mind, in whatever methods it must take.
Sentience is like the wildfire consciousness lights in the body-mind. Without consciousness, the body-mind may be subtle but not sentient.
Like a paper boat drifting on the lake of brahman, sheer parchment doesn’t do the drenching but the water does. Like the clothes aren’t wearing atman, atman is wearing the clothes.
Such sentience fools one into thinking the body-mind is self-luminous. Although it's true one’s identity is self-luminous, only pure consciousness is truly self-luminous—identify with that.
Return to Isvara. Drop body-mind.
I am the universal I am. The universal I am is I, manifested.
Dominus vobiscum. Some say consciousness, some say spirit.
Dominus vobiscum. Some say universal consciousness, some say God.
No name for tao. All names for Isvara!
Great paradox! The causeless is the material and efficient cause of illusion.
Out of this maya appears Isvara, the god of universal consciousness.
And out of maya’s veil of avidya, individual consciousness is born.
Maya projects an all-powerful universe and veils it’s godlike omnipresence
behind a mistaken identity, ignorant, limited, and separate.
All in the name of self-awareness—awareness has no name.
Universal consciousness is the necessary maya in self-awareness. Individual consciousness is optional ignorance.
The reflection of pure consciousness is universal consciousness. The reflection of universal consciousness is individual consciousness.
The reflection of the sleeping dream is deep sleep (absence of duality) and not to be mistaken for the presence of nonduality.
1.
The heart of scientific materialism is the concept of space-time.
Because beyond the big bang is nonconceptual, the empire hides it in a big black hole.
But this willful avidya requires consciousness to be a product of the material universe.
The empire is betting big on neuroscience.
2.
So much depends upon the reflection of awareness in the subtle body of evolutionary maya.
Look, another name for the big bang is the big reflection.
Materialists are currently investigating the subtle body as if it is the source of that reflection,
and not the conceptual substance within which parabrahman is reflecting.
