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"

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10
To Scott Kiloby |
 | | Scott Kiloby |
July 11th The bottomless pit of spiritual self-analysis It is easy to turn spirituality into nothing more than mental self-analysis, which just keeps the false thought-based dream self alive. You may find yourself thinking about yourself all the time, measuring your progress by comparing where you are today with where you were yesterday and where you want to be tomorrow, and constantly mentally analyzing your interior mental and emotional states. This kind of constant analysis is a bottomless pit of self-centeredness. It never ends. Nothing is ever resolved. One mental point just leads to another mental point and then to another. It's all about "me." It is the dream self (ego) caught on a treadmill that is going nowhere. The mental analysis is happening in an effort to figure out who you are. It is an identity crisis. Presence does not require analysis. In presence, there is no fixation on anything that arises and falls within the space of now. Thoughts are seen to come and go without a need to manipulate or analyze them. In seeing this whole movement of the mental dream self, you are witnessing a stream of self-centeredness. Presence reveals your true identity so that mental analysis is unnecessary. It resolves the identity crisis fully and finally. A natural and peaceful inner quietness is revealed in this seeing. |

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.
(Continuation...)
This allness of Consciousness is why It sometimes also is called the One Self, I AM, Life, the Divine, Infinite Intelligence, Love, or what some call God. They all are synonyms for what is the same One. If you can't warm up to these terms because they're not scientific enough, stay with the terms Consciousness or Life. It certainly can't be denied there is Consciousness or Life. Regardless of the term, what counts is that It never is "a" Consciousness, a power afar off, that is all there is of all there is. It is the One being aware right here, now, so this can be read.
Why are Consciousness and other synonyms capitalized? It is done to make the essential distinction that they never are personal. After all, who is it, really, that's being conscious? Is there a personal thinking mind that knows how to be conscious? Of course not. No person, no body, cranks up Consciousness in the morning and sustains or upholds It all day long by thinking about It moment to moment. The capacity to be conscious, alive, clearly is something no person is doing or is responsible for. Always, It is Consciousness Itself or Life Itself that is conscious, that is alive to say "I" right here, now. Consciousness Itself, or what is called the Self, really is the only I. This never changes.

When we are not focusing on what we choose to give,
Then we are focusing on what we need or want to get.
No in-between state exists.
Love is given.

The Transparency of Things
by Rupert Spira

Paperback

 | | Rupert Spira |
Our True Body
(Continuation...)
What are the qualities of the known that are independent of the instruments through which they are known? What remains of the known when the faculties through which it is known are removed? The Existence or Reality of the known, remains. That is, whatever it is that belongs to the known, that does not belong to mind or senses, remains. Everything apart from the Existence or Being or Reality of an object is removed with the removal of the instruments of perception, with the removal of mind.

Chapter 83
The True Guru
(Continuation...)
Q: Surely, objective knowledge and ideas of things and self-knowledge are not one and the same thing. One needs a brain, the other does not.
M: For the purpose of discussion you can arrange words and give them meaning, but the fact remains that all knowledge is a form of ignorance. The most accurate map is yet only paper. All knowledge is in memory; it is only recognition, while reality is beyond the duality of the knower and the known.
