Beyond Theories of Everything: The Truth of Nonduality (with footnotes)

Maya is to universal quantum consciousness (isvara) as avidya is to individual mass consciousness (aham). Isvara is to quantum mechanics as aham is to general relativity. Like nonduality (advaita) is to the theory of everything.

This atman includes the four quarters. The four quarters are deep sleep, dreaming, waking, and turiya, the fourth, the quarterless quarter, pure consciousness, absolute awareness, parabrahman. This atman is brahman.

Aham (I am) includes the three quarters, this mass of consciousness consisting of deep sleep, the dreaming state, and the waking state, excluding the stateless state of that fourth, turiya, parabrahman. Listen, on a little lower layer, I am that.

1. ‘maya’ is the first word. and not for nothing.

2. brahman plus maya equals isvara.

3. avidya is maya relatively speaking.

4. quantum mechanics is to maya as general relativity is to avidya. none of it is real but they sure put on a good show.

5. maya, avidya, quantum mechanics, general relativity. only the names will change.

6. the personal (aham, i am) is based in avidya. the universal (isvara, vishnu) is based in maya.

7. a theory of everything will unify quantum mechanics and general relativity in the future, says science.

8. nonduality says, quantum mechanics is maya and general relativity is avidya. everywhere and always. here and now.

9. atman (the self) equals aham plus turiya.

10. Aham Equals Atman Minus Brahman!

the chorus sings:

a theory of everything will unify quantum mechanics and general relativity in the future, says science. 

nonduality says quantum mechanics is maya and general relativity is avidya now.

Atman equals Aham plus Parabrahman. I Am equals Atman minus Brahman! Atman is Brahman. Brahman is not Atman. Brahman is Atman minus Aham. I Am Is The Self. The Self Is Not I Am. The Self Is I Am Plus Awareness.

The Theory of Everything is like Atman equals Aham plus Parabrahman, I Am equals Atman minus Brahman, Atman is Brahman, Brahman is not Atman, Brahman is Atman minus Aham, I Am is The Self, The Self is not I Am, The Self is I Am plus Awareness. Self-awareness.

Bond. James Bond. Awareness. Self-awareness. Atman minus brahman equals samsara. Do not believe the myth but transcreate it faithfully. Absolute, quantum, atomic, mass, organic, active, self-awareness. That aham equals atman minus brahman is quite the concept considering atman equals brahman.

Still Dreaming Day Ananda

This dream has no beginning nor no end. Buddhas don’t stop dreaming; they just dream the Buddha stuff.

Maya is unborn as well. It’s all about multitasking, you see.

It's a matter of material perspective. Whether it’s consciousness manufacturing the dream as it is or the dream manufacturing consciousness as it isn’t, there’s still going to be a dream.

Seeing Dream Things

I am the seer of I am. I am not the seer of dreams; I am is.

To be seen, the dream resolves itself into I am. I am is the mass of consciousness, the consecrated host of self-awareness.

The waking state is not awake. That waking dream is like a dream of deep sleep feeling the pain and suffering of dreaming a dreamer.

The Mass of Aham Asmi (The Garden of Dreaming Part II)

Awareness reflecting in consciousness is like a mirage of water in the desert air. If maya is mirage, consciousness is the water, and awareness is the space of sun, that is.

Disidentifying from the world body of the mind and identifying with this mass of consciousness known as aham asmi is the universal halfway house in nonduality for aham brahmasmi.

The mind, being an insentient object in reality, cannot know the absolute subject. This is why the absolute self is named the unknown.

This mass of consciousness is the sacred manifestation of the absolute self, called true knowledge. Dominus vobiscum. Et tu parabrahman.

The Garden of Dreaming

Prana in, prajna out. This body-mind complex is a consciousness processor. Awareness is always reflecting in consciousness but one has to pan for the gold

In the garden of dreaming don’t you know that you’re always true? In a universal garden, the knowledge of good and evil is another name for avidya. In this garden of nirvana, the body-mind usurps the noumenal.

Birth and death are mythic gods, concepts to be used in processing self-awareness, and not to be believed. Consciousness identifying with a form is the condition of my conditioning. Lucid dreaming is just being the self-evident unknown.

A Work of Self-Awareness: On Turiya, I Am & Me

Thinking is not a problem. Thinking is a tool used by the hand of being in the work of self-awareness. But thinking the thinker is the hand is not just a problem. It also hurts. The world is a big world of hurt.

In this world, love is the hand of being. The real work shall go on; self-awareness is the manifestation of that absolute awareness. Pure consciousness is another name for absolute awareness. There is no name for that.

Pure consciousness becomes a mass of consciousness in this process of self-awareness. Another name for pure consciousness is turiya, the fourth. Another name for this mass of consciousness is deep sleep, the first state in the three states of I Am.

Pure consciousness becomes a mass of consciousness to enable my dream of self-awareness. This dream is going swimmingly until I dream I am the dreamer. What comes next is not as much a waking dream as a hurting one.

map 1: absolute awareness–pure consciousness–turiya–the fourth (self-awareness (I Am (mass of consciousness–deep sleep / the dream state / the dream of the dreamer–the waking world of hurt and love))). note: the first parentheses is called maya.

map 2: some say parabrahman is outside the parentheses. some say saguna brahman includes self-awareness and maya is the second parentheses (whereas avidya is the third). some say atman is self-awareness. some say atman is brahman. some say atman is not parabrahman. tricky nondualities.

map 3: a good myth is like a circle. you must be able to enter it at any point and still be able to go full circle. in other words, a good myth must ultimately reveal the same old truth, the seeker is the sought.

map 4: the manifest is a mass of pure consciousness like ice is a mass of pure water. as there are three states of water, there are three states of i-am. deep sleep, sleep dream, dream world. and space is like the fourth, the stateless state of water.

map 5: the natural state of water depends upon so much. actually, water is a state of h2o, as is ice and vapor. saying, the natural state of h2o, is to be more accurate. this is vedanta.

epistle 1: dear cs lewis. iow, pure consciousness becomes a mass of consciousness to enable my dream of self-awareness. yours truly.

epistle 2a: between nisargadatta and vedanta my life flows. more accurately, between nisargadatta and advaita, my life flows. n talks of awareness and consciousness and i am. av talks of pure consciousness, mass consciousness, and the three states of consciousness. 

epistle 2b: iow. awareness is pure consciousness. consciousness is mass consciousness. i-am is the three states of consciousness. awareness is parabrahman, pure consciousness is brahman, consciousness is atman, the three states of consciousness, i am.

epistle3: the scene can't know the seer as an island doesn't know the sea. good acting is being the seer. great acting is knowing there's nothing else to be. the seen appears in the seer and not vice versa. the scene is seen by the eye and the eye is heard by the mind but the mind is felt by being only, being only, being only.

Ten Blackbirdz

Meditation is like defaulting to being.

Meditation is not something one can do.

The art of nondoing is not about not doing

but not doing what you think you should and doing what you love.

One day each week shall be a Sunday. Make mine Monday.

Thought appears within being. Thought is the human in the human being.

Being is beyond all thought. Like islands in the sea.

Let’s not talk about intuition. Let intuition talk to us.

I am not the vehicle but I am the driver. Memorize this until you know it by heart.

As universal consciousness is the force, may love be with you.
