Thoughts appear in consciousness like fish in a river and you’re the river.
The river isn’t just a reflection of its mountain source. The river is no different than the source and thinking it is, is just delusional.
It's the same old song. The river is the source but the source isn’t the river. The waves are the sea but the sea isn’t the waves.
Stop overthinking things. Consciousness is brahman. That’s all you need to know.

Forget it jake it’s namarupa

Snake upon the rope
b.
On some reptilian level there is identification with the body.
It’s written in your dna.
Don’t fret the small stuff but don’t go playing in traffic either.
c.
Do it for the reptiles and birds, oh my.
Buddhi knows best.
No dinosaur, no buddhi, no self-awareness.
d.
The power of seven is the power of three cubed.
Nonduality equals universal consciousness divided by three or any primordial odd number.
You cannot deconstruct satcitananda. Satcitananda is the ground of all superimposition and resultant deconstruction. Stop digging when you hit water, grasshopper.
e.
Existence is the ground (even emptiness appears in existence).
Awareness is the godhead—universal consciousness is an appearance in that deep blue godhead as self-awareness is its fractal maya.
And bliss is the word ananda is the groove of holistic infinity, satcitananda.
The world is completely conceptual. A bird is a bird because I call it a bird. But a bird is not a bird. A bird is absolute consciousness upon which namarupa has been superimposed.
The bird doesn’t know this fact but universal consciousness knows because I do. And this knowing is for the birds and all being. Om shanti.
Beneath the tri-state area is the substrate of pure ground. An inert outer body burns because of this satcitananda. Alas I’m not the wood I chop but the unmanifested fire within.
Neti neti is a practice and not a destination, and that’s the rub. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by postmodern deconstruction.
First, deconstruct yourself as if dissolving the personal into the universal which is the real manifested you, my love.
“There is nothing to seek and find, for there is nothing lost. Relax and watch the ‘I am’. Reality is just behind it. Keep quiet, keep silent; it will emerge, or, rather, it will take you in.” ~@Nisargadatta_M

There are three states of reflected consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. These are the equivalent of nuclear, atomic, and molecular in the reflexive universe of things.
Coming after the big bang of maya, these states of consciousness are just parts of a wave superimposed on pure consciousness: full, half, and new. Like a snake appearing in the mind, self-awareness appears in awareness.
The vedanta says I’m not the wave but the sea. The mandukya calls that the fourth. Find your inner self, your true self, the highest atman, that fourth; and know your real self as the godhead, ground, nondual, nirguna brahman. As the mandukya says, ayam atma brahma.
2.
The waking state is dreaming in colorful reflections of pure consciousness and that’s the love.
The dreaming state is dreaming in those binary black and white divisive shadows of the mind.
And deep sleep dreams in the place where the wild things go.
Where the wild things go: prajnanam brahma, tattvamasi, ayam atma brahma, aham brahma asmi.

Maya is like a prism through which the light of Brahman is passing through. Or Maya is like a laser superimposing holographic waves on the silent sea of Brahman. Or Maya is the sword of power that Isvara is using to cleave the undivided, unlimited, and untroubled into samsara.
Whereas the mind dreams in thought, Brahman dreams in consciousness. Thus the universe is neither wave nor particle but pure consciousness in which the yin of waves and yang of particles appear.
To an individual of avidya, the Universe appears to be real; to a scientist of Maya, the universe appears to be a paradox; but to that insightful one, nothing is not Brahman.
2.
To get from the absolute immutable to the relatively transformative, Maya is assumed to be the unknown X in all such equations.
Thus Maya is not as much a theory of relativity as it is a law of the absolute.
With Maya firmly established in the mathematical mind, the Mahavakyas may be entertained, contemplated, and realized. Yes, Virginia, Aham Brahma Asmi.
Satcitananda, to review, is being-existence-presence, consciousness-awareness-intelligence, holistic infinity bliss.
Satcitananda is not an attribute of Brahman but its essential nature. Each word may substitute as the name of Brahman, but there is no name for Brahman, that big beyond the bang.
Brahman is not non-existent, not unaware, and undivided, unlimited, and untroubled. In other words, Brahman is Satcitananda.
a.
Universal consciousness (god) appears in pure consciousness. Individual consciousness (person) appears in universal consciousness. Departmentalized consciousness (nightdream) appears in individual consciousness.
Consciousness is nothing if not fractal.
So does dna (karmic consciousness) ultimately appear in departmentalized consciousness and if so, does god ultimately appear in karma and so on until realization?
b.
In other words,
karma creates the gods, god creates people, a person creates nightmares, a nightmare creates karmas, karma creates the gods, the cycle of maya.
And the blood of gods is dna!
1.
There’s the egoic self (I am something-else) constructed with thoughts, and there’s the reflected self (I am) created with the devatmasakti of saguna brahman, and there’s the true self (I, paramatman) which is unborn.
The cause of the personal self is ignorance (avidya) of its universal being. The cause of the universal self is that intelligent illusion called self-awareness (maya) appearing in the absolute ground of the true self (parabrahman).
Deconstructing ego involves seeing through thought (see pratibodha viditam for the particulars) to this universal being where absolution suddenly happens. Om, attention minus thought equals pure consciousness.
Atman, all-pervasive like butter in milk, and the source of self-reflection and self-realization, is Brahman, the highest truth. That is the supreme upanisad.
