Nonduality...words fall short
-
Nonduality. Words fall short of the mark
but are necessary to point you in the right
direction. Start with duality. God and man.
Separation. Division. Opposites. Your mind
likes it that way. It needs to separate,
define and distinguish.
- Your ego
likes it that way. It needs to judge and
feel superior. It requires separation to
sustain itself. The ego knows that when you
awaken, its existence ceases. Deprive the
mind of its attachments through meditation
and contemplation.
-
Constantly ask of your self "who am I?".
Determine what you are not. You are not
your mind, you have a mind. You are not
your thoughts, you have thoughts. You are
not your emotions, you have emotions. You
are not your body, you have a body. You are
not your name, you have a name. You are not
your background, you have a
background.
- The
perception of these means you are merely
the perceiver, the observer. What remains.
The I AM remains. Not the personal "I am"
as in "I am Robert Hill, high school
teacher, husband, father of three, brother
of two, son of British parents, lover of
foreign films, strawberry ice cream,
baseball and REM's older stuff!".
- Remove
these definitions and what remains? Find
out what you are by first finding out what
you are not. The I AM remains. The I AM =
pure being = God = Spirit = Ultimate
Reality = Inner Light = Brahman = The Tao =
The Absolute = Universal Intelligence = the
Self = Oneness = Nondual Reality.
- Can you
cross from dualism to nondualism? How to
get there? Realize that you are already
there! You only require to unyoke yourself
from the mind and its attachments. You are
truly the witness to all that occurs.
Journey deep into the heart of I AM.
- This
sense of being (be-ing) before you attach
it your body, mind, etc. Strip away all
that you are not and return to your natural
state. You are always here and now. The
past and future exist in the mind only.
Turn within, stilling the mind and come to
know and dwell in the timeless I AM. There
is nothing more to do.
