(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.)

Witnessing   

 
"If you observe
your experience
in this moment,
then you are not controlling
this moment in any way,
you are not involved with it
in any way.
 
From witnessing,
there is the flow
of energy that
is happening,
that is arising by itself,
 
that is creating
the movement of all
phenomena in this moment.

The thoughts arise
in this flow of energy,
the sensations arise
and change in this flow
of energy,
 
it is all the flow of one energy,
arising out of consciousness
and dissolving back
into consciousness.
 
The energy takes
the shape of certain thoughts
and then the thoughts
dissolve back into energy
and then the energy
forms into other thoughts,
or other emotions
before dissolving back
into energy.

So you see in this
there is nothing to change.

Whether you experience
loneliness
or joy,
it is all the flow
of the same energy.

From the witness
it is all a flow
of the same bliss.

It is complete
and perfectly
content
within itself.
 
It is simply a matter
of letting go of this
need to control, change
or distract yourself
from this moment.

You let go of that
actual contraction
of identifying with this moment,
of being involved with thinking
and rest as the witness,
and then there is just
this beautiful flow
of energy,
 
the nature of which
is bliss.
 
 
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.
 
I have found a way to turn
Kundalini Shakti into sound
So simply by listening to meditation music
you effortlessly awaken
to your natural state of unconditional
peace, bliss and freedom.

So to realize that, the first thing is to realize how that works is you can see it in others.   

 

That's the first place to discover pain-bodies and how they work, how they operate.   

 

You may see it in your partner, you may see it in a family member, in a child even.

Romantic love

 

Romantic love is often based in egoic separation.  In the beginning of a romantic relationship, roles are often played.  You play the role of the perfect mate in order to get the other person to play the same role.  Before too long, the real egoic wanting behind the role playing starts to reveal itself.  Arguments start to happen.  The arguments appear on the surface to be about mundane, everyday things.  But on a deeper level the unconscious beliefs that are operating during these arguments are, "You are not living up to the image I have of you," "You are not filling my inner lack," and "You are not providing the personal gratification I desire in this relationship."

Egoic love is conditional.  It is conditioned on whether the other person acts a certain way or says or does certain things that please you or that meet your mental image of the person.

 

The ego is a set of conditions. See the mental conditions you are imposing on your partner and realize that unconditional love is who you truly are under all these conditions.

 

Unconditional love knows no lack and seeks nothing from the other.  It simply loves.  Unconditional love realizes itself automatically through presence, when there is a seeing through of the false roles that are being played, the conditions being imposed, and the desire for personal gratification in the relationship.

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS

 

 

RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.

 

(Continuation...) 

 

 

Any scientist will tell you the human body really is not a solid object, even though it seems so. It would be just countless atomic particles that all are constantly moving or vibrating. These particles are so incredibly tiny that the space between them, in relative terms, is greater than the space between the earth and sun. The human body is more space than solidity! Consciousness couldn't be inside such an arrangement because there's really no solid object there to be inside of!

 

Consciousness isn't a word. It is literally the very "Substance" wherein all existing goes on. Consciousness is actively aware and alive as all Presence, the only real "Place" there is. It is the one, essential "Stuff" without which your everyday affairs and entire universe wouldn't even appear to exist. The implications of this fact are so enormous, so thrilling, it's indescribable. That's why this book is titled Consciousness Is All.

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...)

 

   

To overcome any addictive experience requires more than reading, talking, thinking about it, and discussing it with others. It requires more than a moment's attempt at inner child work; it requires a complete perceptual overhaul of how we interact with ourselves and our world. When we are entertaining an addictive experience, it is because we do not love ourselves; this is the core issue we are dealing with. When we do not love ourselves, everything causes us fear. When we do not love ourselves then we have nothing real to give this world, then our energy is all about getting.

The Transparency of Things

Our True Body 

 

(Continuation...)



   

 

That which is imparted by the mind is the name, the concept of what an object is. From the seamless totality of experience, we abstract an object and call it, say, a 'chair.'

 

That which is imparted by the senses is form - that is, shape, colour, touch, taste, smell, sound. If these faculties were different, the world would appear differently. We substantiate the abstraction that we have labelled 'chair' with qualities of sensation such as 'hard' or 'red.'

 

We clothe Reality in name and form.

The True Guru

 

(Continuation...) 

 

Q:  What is real then?

 

M:  He who knows the mind as non-realized and realized, who knows ignorance and knowledge as states of mind, he is the real.  When you are given diamonds mixed with gravel, you may either miss the diamonds or find them. It is the seeing that matters.  Where is the grayness of the gravel and the beauty of the diamond, without the power to see?  The known is but a shape and knowledge is but a name.  The knower is but a state of mind.  The real is beyond.
