Namaste -
Here is something that may help you to understand what i mean when
pure awareness is stated..... following are two writings one on being
in the Now.... the other is a story entitled the Dream..... if this
does not add any clarity i will write more on it in the morning....
In reading these words you must reflect, and in reflecting you ave
missed
the Now... for the Now is not of mind and thought and reflection..
The Now is only found and maintained while in pure awareness..
Direct awareness not reflection...
In reflection there is subject and object and in pure awareness the
division
is absent...
Neither can you say that you perceive or experience for this also is
subjective and objective..
The Now is not a state for states are of mind..
If you can speak of it then again it becomes reflection and you are
in the
past..
The Now cannot be gaged by time for it is Constant yet everflowing in
the
Maya Realm..
The Emptiness holds Nothing yet All Manifests within it...
Devoid of substance like a dream the maya realm of mind comes and
goes.
Ever empty in nature.. And the Now beyond mind is Constant in nature
while
the maya realm of mind and thought is ever in flux..
And within the Emptiness of Now they are both non-dual in nature....
Love and Blessings Sat*Chit*Anand Shanti-Shanti-Shanti OM
___________________Subject: Story of the Dreamer STORY OF THE DREAMER
there was a man who went to sleep and dreamt that he was a king...
enjoying all the sensual delites and when he awoke he sighed alas it
was only a dream....
the next evening he went to sleep and what did he behold... but he
was a young man walking on a forest path when out of the bushes a
tiger sprang... screaming in terror he ran only to be caught by the
tiger... the pain was excrusiating... and then he awoke.. ah whew -it
was only a nightmare....
the 3rd night the man again slept and within the dream he dreamed
that he went to sleep... and in that dream he beheld and was aware
that he was dreaming.. using this to his advantage he decided to
fly... and fly he did... in his dream he awoke... and said this was a
most marvelous happening.... and he walked out his door only to find
a yogi seated upon a tiger skin in meditation.... not being your
typical happening he prostrated before the yogi... oh guru please
tell me of these marvelous things...
the first night i dreamt of marvelous things and in each i took
delight...
the 2nd night i dreamt of being young and was killed by a tiger -
the 3rd night i was aware i was dreaming and took to flight... tell
me of these marvels oh great one.....
The guru thus instructed him.....
the first night who was it that did enjoy the delights?
the 2nd night who was it that died?
the 3rd night what magic was truly done?
contemplate this and know the Truth of Existance...
The man sat and found that in truth - there was nothing that was
enjoyed....
There was no one that was killed...
There was nothing that was done....
That all that had been seen was only a play of mind within an
illusion of ego.... he himself had been asleep or so he thought....
and then he awoke.....
What did he percieve but the yogi was still there as big as life...
he rubbed his eyes... wasn't this just all a dream?
And truly he realized the truth of Existance... that maya was the
ever occurring dream and he was that which was Aware of the Dreams....
But ever untouched by any of the events....
and in that moment he became ever free... having found that the
illusions of bondage and freedom where only plays of maya and minds
illusions......
There has never been anything that is done.... That which is
perceived is only a ripple upon the surface waters of moving
Consciousness... but within the depths the Ocean is ever Bliss...
Unconcerned with the surface waves of the transient realm of
dreams... and life....
Love and Blessings
