Hmmm. Tempting.

Without your being aware that you are, there is no God. Thus, consciousness is itself God. And thus, "God is my devotee." As a self-identified body-mind complex you shall only do as you are so led, in accordance with your particular inclinations; free-balling, or otherwise.

I'd say experience is available. As consciousness is all-pervading, one has the potential of assuming any role, including that of being an instrument through which life seems to do its living... or dying. But even that presupposes an actual other living or dying apart from consciousness. Realizing the source of consciousness, is to be beyond knowledge and ignorance, departures and arrivals, life and death, experience and nothingness. The "I" which wakes from dream or sleep exists prior to the dreaming or waking experiences. That "I" declares it slept well within its source of not-knowing-ness. The direct experience that you are is indisputable. Being that from which this sense arises, is ineffable.

"There is a game of madness, and it was decided that you must keep on playing this game win or lose, pleasure or pain, and you must keep experiencing it. You call it pleasure, but it must be killed. There is real happiness in killing the enjoyment, but people keep up the imagination, which is really only suffering. If you have killed the enjoyment, that is good. However, the killer of enjoyment must also die."

How to let go - The five principles of AshtÄvakra
neti neti replied to dwai's topic in Hindu Discussion
I'm a bit surprised to say the least. For someone who once basically dismissed my Guru's teachings as pointless, it seems odd you've considered his recommended reading list... not to mention now having the motivation to assemble a compilation of direct pointers.- 13 replies

How to let go - The five principles of AshtÄvakra
neti neti replied to dwai's topic in Hindu Discussion
It's actually all quite natural and simple to be oneself. Self can spontaneously reveal its nature through sages like Ashtavakra, and Self can spontaneously reveal its nature through do-gooders like the great Swami. None are attached or in bondage, and there are none more advanced than another. There is only Self in all its wondrous manifestations. False conclusions by intellect arise due to limited bodily identification. It easily leads to making judgements upon mere appearances, projections upon other bodies also imagined to only be individuals.That which speaks contrary to Reality is just the imagined self's confused musing from a romanticized perspective that Self has ever somehow been beyond Itself.- 13 replies

I can't help but imagine Michael Jackson as the lead here. A classic nonetheless...

Cool, moment. Glad you can appreciate its depth. It truly does seem like a lot went into that production. I enjoy the genre, but I really appreciate the ones that have dedicated film, animated or otherwise, for the entire album. Their vision shows through, and work like that must have been in the making for quite some time...

"No second has ever been able to enter. If it is felt that some other has entered, this is only delusion. In the totality of doubtlessness, doubt is the second thing. That doubt multiplies and becomes a mind full of doubts, and the Illusion of the world appears."

Your being is an open fact, without question. You exist prior to your very own direct experience, obviously, else the question could never be posed. Investigation does not apply. Beyond the mental sphere, we can only admit to encroach upon the noblest story of speechlessness. As the sole subject, your observation of objects can only reveal that which you are Not.

An answer is within each question. An object demands a subject. Only you say I'm awakened. Every idea is false.

Just knowing you are suffices.
