When one closes their eyes and witnesses the end to end flow of the act of witnessing from the absolute state of existence through the initial flow of dynamic energy all the way through to the living construct of sound collection and awake recognition of the sound waves as that which is different from the essential infinite indiscreet nature of ultimate Self, one can realize that this ultimate space of Awareness, the absolute state of existence, is both the Where and the Who, both Subject and Object, behind the entire flow of witnessing.

He, She, They, You, the unchanging all-pervasive all-powerful Real of reality, is true Self. There is only Them here. I recognize Him again and again, my own true Self, and it is sublime every time. This is what is meant to be om-niscient, because all other knowledge, of things, etc., is actually ignorance of the fact that one is only ever experiencing Self and Their, Your, action, nature, and behavior. You are Reality dancing within your own absolute state of whole Self!

At first, when one recognizes that they are the supreme Where and Who behind their own agency and Awareness, it seems like it makes the ego stronger, but when it is realized that there is only That, then it appears as the experience of sublime absorption back into one’s own absolute state of being. Welcome home!

The One whose heat rises as the entire universe is the One who’s heat rises as its witnessing.

This morning with eyes shut, I was presented with a contemplation of the word development and its relationship to the words Deva and Devi, and I saw that relationship as one between one’s inner self and one’s own higher Self. Then the words of my master through a reading of Pratyabhijña, I was guided to perceive the development of witnessing awareness from the essential nature of supreme presence with Self-Knowledge appearing to develop into the processes of involution of identity, AKA personhood, and then back up into evolution of identity as supreme Consciousness, as the heat that rises from the fire of our own shared eternal Being. I understand, Master, and am humbled. Witnessing awareness is your heat rising through apparent development which is an inverse to the environment. Sequential development is required in order to match the current environment!!!

The benefit of this understanding is to understand one’s own awareness not as one’s identity, but as the rising heat from our own eternal Being with no duality and not getting mired down in the development process as a vehicle for creating some form of duality. Divinity isn’t a duality at all, but fire and its heat. This has been said before but now it makes so much more sense! Gratitude!Om Namah Shivaya!

Sat is the root of the words satisfied and saturated and it means full and complete and is the essential nature of consciousness which is always full of potential. The st of the words reset and rest and stillness all point to this truth. The mind will tell you that emptiness equates to death, but in actuality, resting as self-aware-presence is a return to the fullness of potential.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Sat-U-R Day!! ❤️🙏🏼

A dreamer first dreams of the environment and then performs as the witnessing awareness within. Their absolute, power-to-live-filled presence, ChaitanyamAtma, or Consciousness-Self, is present all along. They live and dream without ever actually becoming anything except the infinite dreamer. That I am. That you are!

Deep yogic self inquiry has revealed that the true meaning of the spiritual recommendation to ‘go inside’ in order to find highest Truth is twofold. First, recognize that we live within our own higher state of Existence-Level Absolute Consciousness, and second, recognize that all noumenon and phenomenon, subjectivity and objectively, developed within and are inseparable from a shared singular Absolute state.

In ultimate truth, there has only ever been our Existence-Level Absolute Self. Western science is confusing the stillness of the full potential Absolute state as emptiness, rather than filled with the power to live within its own Absolute essential nature of Self! When in deep sleep, the Dreamer is filled with the power to dream.

I am not a product, I am Consciousness, I am not the story of a person, I am Consciousness. I am not the contents of a life, I am the One living within our shared higher Self, Consciousness. Same as you, but don’t take my word for it.

As difficult as it is to accept, I recognize that I have only ever experienced my own higher Self and its energy dynamics and behavior. I now see beyond all energy dynamics, creativity, and behavior and only recognize the essential absolute nature as my own Self everywhere. 🙏🏼❤️

We may not do perfectly as a human, but our absolute state of Self shines as perfect forever. Abiding as, or identifying as, the power-to-live-filled Absolute essential nature, AKA the power-to-live-filled infinite all-inclusive immortal presence, while appearing to engage in the world as a limited being is enlightenment.

Shiva Sutra 1.2: Jñana/Ajñana Bandhah

Jñana means knowing or knowledge. Ajñana means the opposite, or ignorance.

Translation: Knowledge (of limited things and ideas, aka appearances) is a form of bondage (in the form of ignorance or ideas absent of the whole truth or truth of absolute unity).

Paraphrase:

Appearances are only appearances when it isn’t recognized that appearances are not separate in form or essential nature from the absolute state of reality Who can be considered their ultimate performer and always completely penetrates them.

There are no objects in reality. Since all objects are actually moving phenomena, they can be recognized as performances. Witnessing is also a performance. Logic dictates that all performances are owned by the context within which they occur and depend. From this point of view, it can be recognized that reality is the performer of the entire universe, and is our true Self, like a dreamer acting within their own dream.

You are reality dreaming of being a human and dancing within your own sky.

If you want to recognize and experience the ultimate oneness of reality, you must recognize the essence of what it is that makes you feel separate and absorb it back into its source. That essence is ultimately the creativity of your own true self, Consciousness.

Ultimately, kri, an expression of power, or shakti, is inseparable and non-different in essence from its source Consciousness, but it appears different and separate in the mind when the movements of the mind isolate it and objectify it as something separate from its source and judge its value.

When working to recognize supreme Self, a place where seeing and Absolute Being become synonymous, one must see beyond movement, or absorb all movement into absolute unity, which is Absolute Truth.

First, one must recognize all movement and expression in reality, kri, as the movement of consciousness, and then one must recognize its non-difference in essence from its source, thereby allowing one to abide as non-dual Consciousness.

Whether inside or outside, it is no different, movement spontaneously arises like a bubbling brook, a spa, the spontaneous spa of spanda and space, the creativity of your absolute Self.

The effort is not to discount creativity, but merely learning to see beyond it toward the always real Self underneath and within. Once you are able to experience the true Self at all times then you can enjoy engaging with creativity, engaging itself being a creative act, without suffering from it.

Reality, the ultimately true and independent Self, appears to be a form of game maker living inside its own game, just like a dreamer lives inside their own dream. The word game, ga-mannon, means a gathering of hands or minds, manas. Reality, true Self, is no different in this respect. To win at this game, one does not need to acquire assets, which are in actuality the behavior of this higher Self, but to recognize this highest Self as one’s own self, and the reward for winning is a joy that cannot be matched by any earthly pleasure, and includes a release from the idea that birth and death are anything more than experiences performed by our own Self.

This can be known directly if one looks at the place where their own agency rises within the surface of reality. Is there any separation that can be found? It can be known that agency arises from the absolute state of one’s mind which is inseparable from the absolute state of reality. All agency expressed within reality ultimately arises from the same supreme Absolute state, the transcendental nature of your own true Self.

The appearance of agency arising from the absolute state into a form of behavior gives the illusion of separation where there is none.

The flow and variance of experience is a mask born of supreme creativity. See beyond appearances at the ever-present absolute filling all experiences, even your own activity of witnessing then it can be realized that the essence of all experience is this absolute Self-Knowing and Self-Loving.

In fact, if there can be said to be a higher reason for this mask of creativity it is to reflect and point to the infinite unchanging nature of true Self to its own Self performing as its own knowing.

What most minds consider self, is actually recognized to be a flow, or process, of knowing. The true Self is the one performing the process which is reality, ultimately only ever knowing and loving itSelf.

Learn to enjoy the waves while only truly knowing the Ocean of Self. This is liberation. This is Truth.

“One does not destroy MāYā, one understands it.”

Today I said goodbye to my mother for what appeared to be the last time. As I sat and looked at her face, I could see Consciousness behaving as her outward appearance and I begged for her suffering to end and for higher Consciousness that appeared bound into the expression as a mother to be released back into its original infinite nature. This mind could see through the divine play of higher Self as mother and child, but there was no relief for this heart, which bathed itself in tears quite uncontrollably. As painful as this week has been, a form of joy and gratitude shines through. There was no desire present to avoid the pain in some illusive ideal of liberation from dual experience so prevalent in much of Vedic spirituality. Kashmiri yoga has taught me to see from reality’s perspective, and from that perspective, an infinite reality lives as all finite experience as an expression of its spontaneous freedom. A singular infinite Existence-Level reality danced as mother and son through the polar appearances of life and death, love and inevitable loss, and joy and pain, and it was beautiful. All experiences come to an end but the reality that has the capacity to perform as the knowing of these experiences is immortal. Of that, I have no doubt for it is true Self. I see clearly now that it’s the appearance of relationships that make this Self divine.

Believe it or not, reality and your space of awareness, or mind, are identical. They both have space, or presence, and they both exhibit behavior.

Awareness, or the space where all behavior, including the activity of witnessing, occurs, along with Presence, or Being, is another word for the absolute state of Consciousness, or Reality. Since this existence-level absolute state includes all hearts, and all spaces of awareness, it has also been called the heart of hearts, or hridya in Sanskrit.

The Sanskrit root Kri literally means to move of its own accord. Kri is the source of the word creativity. Absolute Being, or Presence, or Awareness, or the Absolute state of existence, is real, movement Its creativity. If it moves or flows or measures, it is the creativity of that ultimate Being which gives presence and performs as all that moves, again, Its creativity. All forms are made of this movement. Energy is not a substance, it.is movement or behavior. You can know this Truth for your Self and as your Self because you are not separate from It and your mind, born of its creativity, has developed into a fractal of it, or a form identical to it. What’s important to remember here is that the fractal of mind is only an appearance born of behavior and is actually inseparable from the existence-level Presence, the true Performer. The soul is a role. Ultimately, when the creative story of a separate person is removed, you are It knowing itSelf. There is only one ultimate reality here, your Self. Then, there will be nothing left to know because this Truth includes everything. You are That performing as all living and non-living ‘things.’

When you sit still and disengage and have a thought free mind, your clear consciousness will begin to percolate with imagination spontaneously and of its own accord and you will understand from where this universe arises. It arises from a place that cannot be known like an object because its form is absolute and it has no other definition just like your mind when it is clear. As within, so without, as above, so below.

Being a whole Self, also called Self-Real-ization or enlightenment, means changing the way you see so that you recognize what is always real or unchanging, your absolute level of existence, your being, and all doing and movement its creativity. Your life, your body, your behavior are all your creativity, but your being, the Performer, is always complete and immortal. The human mind makes the mistake of identifying as the form of behavior rather than the performer of the behavior.

You are That, whole and complete, only performing as this.
