Friends;
Bob drew members attention to a website. I took a rather quick look, and
I'll use my soap box time to explain.
"CONSCIOUSNESS IS ORIGINALLY CLEAR & STILL, BUT MEN DO NOT ORDINARILY
REALIZE THIS AND RECOGNIZE THOUGHT TO BE THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS, AND BY THIS
MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THEY BECOME NEEDLESSLY CONFUSED & AGITATED BY THOUGHT."
Jan Cox
This is the quote that introduces viewers to the site.
A) There is NO, absolutely NO 'original consciousness.' There is no
'original' anything. We experience what we experience. How we interpret
that experience, no matter the variety thereof, will always be a SUBJECTIVE
experience. And yes, according to my soap box, experiences that are
'absolute' in nature, such as apprehending and recognizing
'undifferentiated' awareness are possible.
It is very possible to recognize that our experience of consciousness
includes qualities of utter stillness and silence. However, B) While
recognizing that the 'contents' of one's mind--or anyone's mind, for that
matter--is not one's self, it then becomes the NEXT phase of one's
mystical/spiritual realization to recognize that absolute undifferentiated
awareness and the contents of the one big subjective 'head' that we all are
is THE SAME. Therefore, pure Awareness and pure Manifestation (Siva and
Sakti) are NOT TWO but ONE. They are exactly the SAME.
In actual point of fact, (according to my soapbox), your thoughts are
composed of the very vibration that is ALSO the undifferentiated AWARENESS
of those thoughts. Agitation is simply failing to recognize the true nature
of your thoughts, indeed, of all manifest reality. Once one begins to
recognize that all thoughts everywhere are the creative agency of the ONE
SUPREME ACTOR/EGO that we all are, one loses the disposition for agitation
for one has recognized h/herself everywhere and in all things.
Industrial strength mysticism is NOT the unsupportable claim (by experience
or transcendental logic) that you are 'not' what you think, rather it is the
all-encompassing realization that you are all thoughts everywhere. How can
one be attached to what one IS. If one IS all consciousness everywhere, no
boundaries exist. One's sense of being a 'unique' person becomes not what
one must 'lose' (as if this were possible) but what one must recognize is
NON-EXCLUSIVE. The you that you know yourself to be is the very same YOU
(I) that we all are, for truly only ONE exists.
Finally, I object to Jan's use of 'men'. Please, let's work toward 'gender'
grammar liberation. 'Men' is no longer an acceptable 'generic' symbol for
humanity.
Many claim to know 'truth' but much confusion yet exists.
