(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.)

Impersonal Attention 

 
 "If you close your eyes
and stop thinking
even for a second
you will discover all
that is here
is impersonal attention.

So a good meditation technique
is to keep your focus
on this impersonal attention.

Which is really saying
turn your attention
back upon itself
until you are clear enough
about attention
to simply rest
as impersonal attention.
 
If thoughts come,
you simply keep your focus
on this impersonal attention
that is the back drop
to all thinking.
 
You never allow your attention
to latch on to the thoughts
and leave this moment,
rather you remain steadfast
in attention itself.
 
 
Blessings,
 
 
Kip"
 
"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"

Please Note:
 
My main teaching
is for you to immerse yourself
in Kundalini Shakti -
the energy one naturally
radiates in the highest states
of enlightenment.

So simply by listening to meditation music
you effortlessly awaken
to your natural state of unconditional
peace, bliss and freedom.

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

 

So, that's why, the moment you're trapped in this vicious circle of pain-body and mind activity, it is a form of - one could say -addiction, to pain.   

 

An addiction to emotional pain.  

 

In other words, at that moment you don't want to get out.   

 

No way.

Accumulated negative energy in the body

 

In the unconscious state, attachment to painful stories of past creates an accumulation of negative energy within the body.  This accumulation is essentially stored negative mental and emotional energy lying dormant within your mind and body.  The story associated with this negative energy can be based in childhood abuse or trauma, bad relationships or marriages, a victim mentality, or any number of other stories.  The energy tends to arise when you entertain that past or in relationships with people with whom you have a history of conflict.

 

Nothing needs to be done about this accumulated energy except a noticing of the space in the inner body and mind that is naturally aware of the energy as it arises.  This space is naturally open to any feelings of fear, frustration, sadness, loneliness, or anger that arise and the corresponding stories that accompany the emotions.

 

In this conscious space, this accumulated energy is allowed to arise without trying to neutralize, analyze or escape it.  Awareness has no agenda towards the energy.  Only the mind seeks to neutralize, analyze and escape it.  Awareness simply allows whatever arises to be just as it is.  This is total acceptance.  This acceptance releases the energy, revealing the awake, naturally peaceful presence that is the source of the energy.

The Transparency of Things

Our True Body 

 

(Continuation...)



 

[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.']

 

As it reconsiders the object from the position of the subject, it realises that the subject - that is, itself - goes into the make of the object. It realises itself as everything.

 

This condition could be called Love. It is the natural state in which the nothingness of the witness is liberated from any objectivity or limitation and realises itself to be the very substance of everything. Consciousness knows itself as everything.

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...)

 

   

When we stop sedating the fear we are experiencing right now by abstaining from drug use, and when we instead ground ourselves in the here and now and allow ourselves to feel this fear, we discover the repeating experience leaking through in our dreamtime as the nightmares that we are equating with our past lives, is the exact same resonance of fear repeatedly driving us into our addictive experience.

Appendix II

 

 

 (Continued...

 

In the early 1980s, a team of scientists demonstrated that the cells of all living beings emit photons of biological origin, or bio-photons, and that the source of this photon emission is DNA. The wavelength at which the DNA emits these photons corresponds exactly to the narrow band of light that's visible. DNA emits photons with such regularity that researchers compare this phenomenon to an "ultra-weak laser," with the sensation of bright colors, a luminescence, and an impression of holographic depth.

As our cells change in response to our growing

enlightenment, they are able

to attract and hold more light. So there's a quickening of the vibratory rate within each cell. With the simplicity of infinite consciousness embedded in our crystalline cellular structure, we can truly be "light beings."

Absolute Perfection is Here and Now.

Q:  The war is on and there is chaos and you are being asked to take charge of a feeding center.  You are given what is needed; it is only a question of getting though the job.  Will you refuse it?

 

M:  To work, or not to work, is one and the same to me.  I may take charge, or may not.  There may be others, better endowed for such tasks, then I am-professional caterers for instance.  But my attitude is different.  I do not look at death as a calamity, as I do not rejoice at the birth of a child.  The child is out for trouble while the dead is out of it.  Attachment to life is attachment to sorrow.  We love what gives us pain.  Such is our nature.

 

For me the moment of death will be a moment of jubilation, not of fear.  I cried when I was born and I shall die laughing.
