~On Dreaming~
Yes, Universal Consciousness is
an appearance in Absolute Consciousness
but Individual Consciousness isn’t just a dream —
it’s a nightmare.
~Transcreating Hamlet~
To sleep, perchance to dream, fractally.
To deep sleep is to die, temporarily.
The waking state is Newtonian dreaming.
The Fourth is the Principle of Being.
~Vedantic Haiku~
God isn’t dead. I am God. Tattvamasi Style.
The concept of God is dead. Don’t take it personally.
I minus Division equals That minus Conception
1.
Nondoing, self-awareness, and unconditional love are the expressions of
the principle of existence, the ground of consciousness, and the essence of bliss.
2.
Saguna Brahman (or Saguna Satcitananda to be consistent here) is the expression of
Nirguna Brahman, from a universal point of view.
From an absolute point of view, there’s nothing but Nirguna Brahman.
3.
O God deliver me from an individual point of view!
This hellish world of samsara sparkles with its billions of individual points of view.
Our universal point of view is just your basic unscientific trinity: I am, I know, I love.
4.
That nondoing in I Am is the Will of God.
That self-awareness in I Know is the Great Awakening.
That unconditional love in I Love is Ananda.
footnotes
1.
basically this paraverse is mathematical; this is the first golden ratio to be presented here:
nondoing is to the principle of existence
as self-awareness is to the ground of consciousness
as unconditional love is to the essence of bliss.
2.
another ratio: saguna brahman is to nirguna brahman as saguna satcitanda is to the real satcitananda as god is to godhead as the universal is to the absolute.
3.
and the villain in this paraverse is introduced and instantly deconstructed.
0.
The nondoing of I am is the will of God.
The self-awareness of I know is awakening.
The unconditional love of I love is nothing but bliss.
Janaka rejoins: Oh! The wise one with self-knowledge plays the game of life and isn’t burdened with the world of samsara like an ignorant beast.
The god of gods and all the gods unhappily desire that state in which the yogin now abides without any sense of gratification.
The heart of one who realizes That is not disturbed by good or bad, just as space isn’t smudged by smoke although appearing to be.
The wise one knows this entire universe is the Self. So who else is there to preclude oneself from doing as one is inclined to do?
In all beings of the four categories of existence from Brahma down to a blade of grass, only the one with knowledge has the power of indifference to desires and dislikes.
Rarely does one know the nondual Self as God of the world. Knowing that, one has no fear anywhere.

In the USA,
Politics is religion.
Religion is the music
Playing at each party.
Evolution is measured
In time;
Enlightenment is
Immeasurable.
Evo and devo
Like rajas and tamas,
Mahamaya is sattva,
Nondoing,
The will of God.
In I am, the I is not a pronoun but a mathematical symbol.
In I am, the verb to be is the voice of God.
In the God I Am relax until my absolution.
footnotes to I=X-I
1. I am, I know, I love - is the song of Saguna Satcitananda.
2. I am someone and I know some things is not a silly little love song. It's the root of all Shakespearean tragedy.
3. When I is not a pronoun, I equals the principle of existence and the ground of consciousness.
~ August 17 by Latitude 42.8 ~
There’s an uncertain slant of light in August.
It’s neither summer-like nor truly feels like fall.
Do not willfully misunderstand me;
there's no urge for going.
April is the longest month, thank God.

Rage on, John Donne.
Dream on, Wu Wei.
Deep sleep, Avidya.
God is universal consciousness.
Individual consciousness is a product of ignorance.
In other words, consciousness is God.
***
God is consciousness.
Let’s give it a name.
I know. I am. I love.
1.
Doing and not doing are two sides of the same ignorance.
Nondoing is the wisdom of Maya. Nondoing is the will of God. Listen. Surrender.
Neither Citizen Kane nor Bartleby, Wu Wei is the razor’s edge of God’s great sword, Maya.
2.
What exactly is the difference between nondoing and not doing?
In not doing, the body is turned off but the mind is still in control of the switch.
In nondoing, the body may be on or off, but God is wielding the sword.
3.
In the land of duality, there are 10,000 objects and one subject. While visiting, it is wise to pay one's respect to God.
In the world, it's not a question of theism or atheism. All people come with gods.
Deconstructing God before deconstructing the personal is divine madness.
4.
I Am is the voice of God.
God is the principle of existence conceptualized.
Black holes are indescribable. So am I.
Samsara is like Newtonian physics. Maya is like Quantum physics. Parabrahman is like the Anti-physics.
Look, there is no grand unification theory. There’s only nondual reality. In dreaming, there’s the waking dream and the sleeping dream; deep sleep is not a dream.
Similarly, there is Newtonian ignorance and quantum Maya; nonduality does not harmonize the one with two. Nonduality is beyond mind and god.
If I-Know is an offshoot from the ground of consciousness, then self-awareness is its flower.
If I-Love is the fragrance of the essence of bliss, then unconditional love is its essential oil.
If I-Am is the principle of existence in action, then nondoing is its core.
