By Ana Ram Callan

(I'd like to offer a series of love poems for my Beloved Ramana.  Please note that I refer to Him variously as Ram, Rama. and Ramana, as He is an embodiment of Divine Consciousness, ultimately without a name at all.)

The Depth of Consciousness 

 
 
"In meditation
you are not moving
in a linear line
going from one
place to another.

Rather you are moving
deeper into this moment.

So the most important part
of meditation,
if you are practicing the path
of awareness
is to allow yourself
to rest in this moment.
 
To allow everything
to be exactly as it is
and relax into it
and sink right through it.
 
This sounds quite easy,
but when you are constantly
looking forward,
trying to attain something
trying to get somewhere,
then when you actually
try and rest in this moment,
you are confronted with something
that you want to escape.

It's like the closer you are
to no separation
you really feel
that sense of separation
the strongest.
 
When you are busy
looking forward in time
or backwards in time
then you have successfully
escaped fully feeling separation.
 
But the moment you give
up this linear movement
you are confronted
with what is here.
 
And then there is the need
for complete surrender,
to fully allow yourself
to sink into feeling
what is here.

To fully immerse yourself
into what is here
beyond the thoughts,
the emotions,
and the physical sensations.

There cannot be
any looking for it to be
a certain way.

You cannot look for there
to be a payout.

But the moment you give up
this constant urge to move
forward towards something,
and sink into this moment,

you are immersed in peace.
 
And then the practice
is to relax more and more
into the depth of consciousness
which exists outside of time.

To sink deeper and deeper
into the eternal stillness
of this moment
that lies beneath
all movement.
 

Blessings,
 
 
Kip"

[And you're forced because of complete identification.  You're trapped in that cycle in which now the pain-body, the old emotional pain and energetic entity, one could almost say in you, feeds on your mind.

   

And the mind, every negative thought, gives fuel to the emotion, so it adds to the pain body.  

 

And the egoic entity, a large part of the egoic entity is pain body.

Piling up

 

Have you experienced frustration at work or even at home when it feels as though various projects must be done within a short period of time?  Do you see how the piling up of projects or things on a to-do list creates a mental barrier to the accomplishment of the task at hand?

 

The "piling up" of projects, to-do items, tasks, and things is completely a mental story.  Whenever time is entered into the picture in that way, the mind appears clouded and distracted.  It is difficult to bring attention to the task at hand when thoughts of the various other tasks later in the day are floating in and out of consciousness.

 

As the story of what you must do later in the day arises in the mind, simply see it for what it is - a thought.  Do not judge it.  Do not beat yourself up for not being present.  Yet if judging and beating yourself up arise, see that those are just thoughts also.  In noticing the stories, they are allowed to come and then go.  The seeing of the stories is gently reminding you that reality is what is happening now.  Reality is the doing of the task at hand.  Things "piling up" is a mental story.  Even if some practical planning is necessary, notice that the planning itself arises as present thought.

The Transparency of Things

Our True Body 

 

(Continuation...)



 

[In fact Consciousness takes the shape of every experience we have. In this condition we, Consciousness, know ourselves to be everything]  

 

The transparent, luminous, empty, Self-knowing nothingness, nothingness, of Consciousness takes the shape of the totality of our experience. It knows itself as everything.

 

Consciousness is always only itself and yet, in exclusively identifying itself with an object, the body/mind, it seems to become something. It seems to become an object.

 

In disidentifying itself from the object, it realises itself as the subject. It realises itself as nothing, as empty. That is, it realises that it is not an object, not a 'thing.'

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion:  Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"

The Presence Portal


Michael Brown 
Michael Brown

   

31. I am a heroine user attempting to resolve the cause of my addiction. Since starting the Process I have repeated nightmares about similar past life experiences. I am struggling with the fear these nightmares generate. THE PRESENCE PROCESS focuses on healing the child within us, but what about working with our past life traumas? What if the cause of addiction is not in this life?

 

(Continuation...)

 

   

Due to drug usage we may well be experiencing a heightened level of sensitivity and awareness translating into the recall of past life imagery. As a consequence of this heightened awareness we may be able to link up the fear surfacing in our life right now, through dreams and intuition, with what appears to be real images of past incarnations. It is futile to think in terms of going there to achieve resolution with what is unfolding here and now. Where is "there"? No there exists.

On a higher plane of existence, cells are crystalline in structure. A crystalline structure has a different arrangement of particles. The process of enlightenment involves the activation of the pineal gland so that it perfectly aligns with our other chakras and all of the chakras function fully. The more we move toward enlightenment, which is awareness of our One Self, the more the cells of the physical body alter their structure, becoming crystalline. Crystalline structure encompasses purity of consciousness, clarity of spiritual perception, extrasensory perception, telepathy, telekinesis, psychic clarity, and the ability to be disease-free and healthy.

 

Scientists have found that if they introduce

Absolute Perfection is Here and Now.

 

(Continuation...)   

 

 

[Q:  Is your home in God?

 

M:  To love and worship a god is also ignorance.  My home is beyond all notions, however sublime.]

 

Q:  But Got is not a notion!  It is the reality beyond existence.

 

M:  You may use any word you like.  Whatever you may think of. I am beyond it.

 

Q:  Once you know your home, why not stay in it?  What takes you out of it?

 

M:  Out of love for corporate existence one is born and once born, one gets involved in destiny.  Destiny is inseparable from becoming.  The desire to be the particular makes you into a person with all its personal past and future.  Look at some great man, what a wonderful man he was!  And yet how troubled was his life and limited its fruits.  How utterly dependent is the personality of man and how indifferent is its world.  And yet we love it and protect it for its very insignificance.
