Perhaps, you misread my analogies.  An enlightened person is like a 
fruit-bearing tree.  Giving in a natural fashion and completely unconcerned 
with these processes.  But if you were to discuss it with the tree(assuming 
the tree was open to discussions) it wouldn't understand the questions.  How 
it is is not for the tree to answer or explain.  How would a fish explain 
water?...

In a way I think your question is foolish...  The analogy again was trying 
to explain it... Listing in an intellectual manner the traits of an 
enlightened person so that you could understand it is the equivalent of 
using the wrong measuring tool to try to understand an almost ethereal 
trait.

The discussions build a framework for experience... The sufi analogy is 
tilling a field getting ready for a crop to grow.  If you were unfamiliar 
with farming you would notice this digging in the dirt ask how does dirt 
have anything to do with bread?  You can't eat dirt can you?  This activity 
seems completely unrelated.  But if the field is plowed properly eventually 
the experience, the understanding will come.

Again this is a question that is hard to understand:  If we use the farm 
analogy the question you have have asked: Does bread exist or do rocks 
exist?
 
Yes...

It is best not to try to explain anything underwater. 
By talking one might drown. 
Hence the wisdom of be silent underwater.

Provided it is clean dirt. Very rich in minerals. 
Some prefer to have have plants eat the dirt first and 
then eat the plants. Eitherway...it is okay.

It's okay to say to one that Truth is beyond Love. To another that it is 
beyond The Guru. To still another that it is beyond Oneness. It is just 
another way of saying that whatever you adhere to has to be released in 
order to know Truth. That includes love. It doesn't mean you stop 
loving. It should free you to love more.
 
I'm not saying that there are levels, with one beyond another. It isn't 
turtles all the way down, if you're familiar with that story.

It has been a belief of mine, maybe only a theory, that everyone is 
enlightened because you cannot put that kind of a way of being into a 
framework of any kind. We have all always been enlightened and always 
will be. But then there is this other stuff happening inside us, this 
seperation thing, which believes it has an identity but is selfish and 
afraid of being dead, afraid of itself, such is what we usually call 
`I'.

Hello.
 
I have been wondering if anyone has been thinking along similar lines 
as I have with regard to who it is that we interact with in life. I 
have often found that any outburst I make seems to be me talking to 
myself. People I've met and had to contend with seem to have been, in 
effect, a personification of things about myself that need attention. 
And when those things are resolved those people seem to slip away. I 
know that there is such a thing as asking and receiving and I figure 
that the whole structure of one's psyche forms a big thing that you 
are asking for at the present time, and so receive it.
 
There have been a lot of times when I have been confronted with what 
seems to be me at the present time. On reflection, when it has passed, 
I start to look back and notice that that person and I were very alike 
at the time. What is this strange attraction that is going on?
 
I found myself asking some while ago wether it was possible to be 
immune to bad people, wether there was some way of them not seeking 
you out in a kind of magical way. What do you think? Most days there 
is at least one thing I notice about the way I have treated someone in 
the past which I had thought was me seeing something wrong with the 
person as clearly as I could at the time. Even so I was not 
necessarily right and instead it seems like I was lashing out at 
myself.
 
I had a dream several months ago in which there was me and three 
mirrors. I was reflected in all of them and in each was a kind of 
image of myself. Instead of a normal reflection, I saw in each a 
certain part of my world view. There was in one mirror a self image, 
how I feel about myself and how I feel I look to other people, in 
another mirror there was this kind of spirit-me, grinning and knowing 
something, and in the other mirror was this kind of intellectual mess 
thing. And then I realised that if I added all these parts together, 
the resulting whole was in fact the real me - the truth of my 
identity. I realised I couldn't have an attitude towards anything 
without forming that attitude out of my own consciousness and BEING 
that thing. I couldn't hate evil without becoming that hatefulness. 
Even simple orientative perceptions such as to judge how far something 
was away from me, was a measurement and an image in my consciousness, 
part of myself. And there were all sorts of things, therefore, that I 
was thinking were not me, and which I was hating. Every mental comment 
I had about anyone `bad' was only made possible by having that 
attitude about a part of my own wholeness. The only way to perceive 
those things was to be those things. And I did wonder why the hell I'd 
used my mind as a kind of labelling tool to such a degree when all it 
did was fragment me.
 
So I figure that maybe the only person we actually perceive is a 
oneness. Regardless of wether we are in ourselves complete or broken 
into pieces, we still only ever look at a singular whole. Memories we 
have about people from our past which we project on them, is only made 
possible by cutting a part of ourselves away.
 
I have been having problems for some time with trying to please 
everyone. I feel that I have to keep a person happy and that to 
facilitate this I have to basically lie, and then it makes me 
physically ill and I start to reach uncontrollably. And then I feel 
that I don't want to be there and that the only way to get away from 
it is to lie even more. There seems to be a darker side to 
pleasantness. I keep losing myself, keep denying the way I really feel 
for the sake of not altering the way other people feel. This just 
feels like depression and lately I have been wondering why I keep 
waking up.

I had a dream about Jeanne C. last night. She is an email buddy on another 
list I belong to. I dreamt that she introduced me to Harpo Marx. I remember 
feeling very honored. Then I started thinking about the two other Jeannes 
that I know, the one on this list (my stars!) and one in RL whom I only see 
once a year at a Science Fiction convention. Then I wondered why I was 
spending so much time thinking about 3 people I hardly knew.
 
Then I got to work and downloaded my email and found out that Jeanne C. had 
overdosed on valium some time Sunday morning. (She had contracted HIV from 
her abusive ex-husband, which most of us didn't know until her brother 
wrote to us about it after she was gone.) She rarely said anything about 
the state of her health, other than that she was deaf (as a result of her 
husband's abuse, we found out later), and that she wasn't currently 
employed. Her emails were always cheery and wacky and full of fun. She was 
only 28 years old.
 
Kind of freaky. I don't usually dream about people I not only haven't met, 
but don't know what they look like in the flesh.
 
It would be just like her to be hanging out with Harpo Marx, though. Her 
posts were always so chatty (which even got her flamed off one of the 
related email lists); maybe now she's trying to learn about silence while 
still being able to laugh :)
 
have you hugged your email buddies today?,

P.S. I had told her about the k list (the laid-back moderation style of our 
list Mystress had appealed to her), and she was planning on signing up....
 
P.P.S. Virtual *hugs* to each and every one of you. You are all necessary 
and appreciated, and that includes you lurkers!

Seem to be happening to a bunch of us right now, or is it merely selective perception?
 
As someone recently said, The following story never happened, but I will tell it as though it did:
 
One time (a short time ago) I was connecting with nature in a herbal sort of way, I was out in my garden and looking at 
the trees and plants and animals, and goddess began dancing me...I mean my body was moving to a silent music, making hand 
mudras and definitely dancing, this time it was not "tetany"  (involuntary muscle contractions due to a bodily imbalance 
of some sort) but *this* was definitely sacred dance. The experience made me think that perhaps the other "kriyas" or 
"tetany" were merely goddess exercising my body, as Mystress suggests, getting me ready for a time when further activity 
could take place...and this short time ago was when this activity began, in earnest.
 
The movement was sacred and body-connected, earthed, if you will...so it was a synthesis of two "minds" of sorts...my 
traditionally-Christian-educated dualistic mind was set aside and my pagan wild earth mother mind...they came together 
and realized that I could have both a fantastically sexual material body and a cosmic spiritual body working as one...
 
I think the "herbal" got the ego out of the way so that goddess could move in me...sounds equally dualistic, but it 
really is not, it's just the best way I can describe the way it all felt.
 
The dance was really quite pleasant, spontaneous and free, and ecstatic, and it was almost like a promise from Shakti 
that all the not-so-pleasant stuff was paying off, so to speak.
 
Just sharing some more interesting stuff, with this story (that of course never really happened)...

Amongst many other dreams, I had one a week or so ago which seemed to 
give nothing away as to what it might mean.
 
Simply, I stood in my bedroom and looked out of the window and just 
above the horizon was a brilliant orange sun.
 
That was absolutely all that happened. I wondered, perhaps 
romantically, if it might be to represent the dawning of the age of 
aquarius, even though that particular position on the horizon is where 
the sun goes /down/. But I am now wondering if it might represent a 
chakra (which people seem to spell as `cakra')? Perhaps again this is 
a romantic interpretation.
 
Any ideas?

Harsha: It is okay to say that Truth and Love are the Same. It is just another way of saying that 
Self-Realization is of the nature of  Fullness and Completeness and does not admit of dichotomies. It 
does not mean you stop loving at the human level, but that you Realize the True Nature of Love. It is 
Freedom It Self.

Harsha: Enlightenment certainly does appear to have different meanings for 
different people (and in different traditions and philosophies).  In the 
context of Advaita Vedanta, the term "Self-Realization" is used. 
I prefer to use the term Self-Recognition. On this path the term 
Enlightenment 
denotes Non-dual and Absolute Consciousness which is Recognized with Perfect
 
Clarity in Kevala Nirvikalpa Samadhi when mind has subsided into the Self. 
Here Self Sees IT Self by It Self and Through It Self (without any hindering 
karmic 
medium).  This is also called the state of Sat-Chit- Ananda.  Beyond that 
there is Sahaj Samadhi only, which describes the realization of the Sage for
 
whom Non-dual consciousness has become natural and Divine communion is 
continuous (unbroken by any other state of consciousness including deep 
sleep, 
dream sleep or Superconscious states of any type).

v: theoretically that is what all the sages keep trying to tell us - 
that "we are all one" like a gargantuan, unfathomable ameliorated 
meglamesh of neurons & protons & electrical impulses from synapses, but 
- I dunno about that gang of thugs who just brutally raped that poor 
little girl out the road. I don't think they are any relationship to a 
sensitive & compassionate terran just trying to make it work 
unparasitically. 
who are those 'others'? what brand of animal are they anyway???

v: wow. you're really lucky! 
I have 'terrorist blood' on my mother's side, both Basque & Apache, & as 
a spiritual seeker I have to overcome the tendency to want to bury 
people in the dirt up to their head by an anthill & pour honey over 
them! 
*lol*

Not all theologies hold with the oness in the sense of an oversoul.  That is 
one of the rifts between Hinduism and Buddhism.  One Buddhist analogy to our 
relationship is that each of us are individual gems floating in a giant 
network.  As generate/reflect light we shine on the others around us and 
reflect the light they are shining on us.  Everybody is interelated and 
interdependent but we aren't all one in a certain sense of oness.
