Subject: [K-list] conciousness

There is a delightful little book "from Conciousness to Conciousness"
by Ramesh Balsekar. It is a collection of letters from Ramesh to a
couple of his students. The students are not named but, one is no
doubt Wayne Liquorman who edited the book. The letters were written in
1987 and 1988.

~~~~~~
From March 24, 1988 -

"Your attempts at repressing the ego were actually a running away from
the ego which not only exacerbated the obsession with the ego, but
actually gave body to the conceptual ego. ..... The intellect was
brushing off all attempts to pierce its armor. Indeed the intellect is
itself the armor which the ego wears to ward off all such attempts."

{me now - heeheehee}
When seen for what it is the so-called ego is nothing more than a
survival tool for the so-called individual. In other words it is the
basic sense of identity that kept our distant ancestors aware of thier
surroundings and the ever present danger - you know, lions and tigers
and bears, oh my!

The ego is a natural part of what is. Fear of and attempts to overcome
or destroy the ego is only more of the same. So, to allow ego its
place as part of the natural phenomena and understanding that the
eternal awareness is all that there is will open the door to peace.

Ego, mind, body all arise out of the eternal awareness and in truth
are created from that self same awareness. As we move along on the
'spiritual path' we begin by thinking that there is something that we
must do in order to become realized/awakened/enlighted - this is the
natural flow. At some point the so-called individual realizes that he
or she has always been not just a part of the all-that-is. Indeed the
eternal awareness has always been all-that-is.

Is it the character who has fooled himself into being a separate and
small individual? Or, is it the eternal awareness that has succeeded
in tricking itself?
