avadhuta
says When
you cite difference between becoming God and existing God avadhuta
says: In
First case person keeps doership in his hands till he gets into God avadhuta
says: constantly
discriminating ? avadhuta
says: and
in other case devote just exist as mother appears in Him ? avadhuta
says: devotee bindu
says: if
i understand you correctly.. then yes. bindu
says: for
example bindu
says: If you God (remember you are not manoo. manoo doesn't exist) keep saying i am manoo or
refering to the body as yourself Mr God.. then you must obey your own law
and become manoo ..
Mr
God if you say you are manoo , you become him. avadhuta
says: You
mean when a person says 'I am God' he is referring to something by keeping
reference to him ? bindu
says: no,
i am not saying that yet. bindu
says: i am saying that when the voice inside him says I am manoo...... It is god saying he is manoo. Because the voice that arises within manooo arises from out of nowhere and appears as the mind
or thought etc.... avadhuta
says: Yes
bindu
says: so
then when he says i am manoo he (God must obey his own law) so
then, that voice is the speaker called god,
it is not manoo bindu
says: so,
we meditate to make the voice believe he is Siva. by Siv-om or Soham or
hamsa etc... avadhuta
says: mmmm bindu
says: so
we amass a huge understanding by jnana of the nature of god yes? by
the sheer weight of the argument for the truth of the being of the
omnipresent the
mind is gradually transformed until it disappears into nothingness that
nothingness is the absolute. avadhuta
says: Thanks
avadhuta
says: I
was concerned about to how do we transcend what Shakara advaita says ..does
he not say the same ? bindu
says: no, because advaita relies on the presence of the consciousness as god or as the whole of existence... while the Trika system goes into the fact that the consciousness is what the awareness of the one who is conscious is conscious of.
Even if we say the Consciousness is self-shining as the whole of existence. Trika goes to the situation where the consciousness has not yet arisen as the light called
consciousness. it is merely conscious without the consciousness/light.
Thus
it is infinite and is truly independent of even the consciousness itself for
example the consciousness is the consciousness which belongs to god while
the conscious One is God himself. So it is to merge into the very godhood beyond
existence. avadhuta
says: You
mean to say Advaita of Shankara goes upto the leap of Iswara ? bindu
says: Yes,
so the conscious has consciousness but it is not the consciousness avadhuta
says: mm bindu
says: Consciousness
is the first attribute or possession of Iswara which makes him exist remove
consciousness and he is not separated from his absolute infinity. Iswara comes into being because the consciousness comes for example: Siva and shakti are co-dependant remove one and the other is no more.
I.e. If we were to remove the void in which the Cosmos spins then the void/space would not be limited by the existence of the cosmos so it would then be an infinite void
or Brahman, not merely an empty space where the Cosmos once was. along with every space which each single object occupies). Space
merges into space which by its nature is infinite. avadhuta
says: mm bindu
says: Ramakrishna said: “oh Kali please do not take me into yourself as
if you do, you too will disappear and who will worship you?” If we now think of it in terms of science; if we were to remove all that exists what would happen to the space in which all things are and which is also in between
the atoms? it would revert to infinite space. avadhuta
says: Yes
bindu
says: i.e
bhairava avadhuta
says: awareness
before consciousness of self you mean ? bindu
says: no there is no self it is an infinite self who has no form, so it is awareness of awareness. Listen very carefully; Iswara or God, comes into being only at the time that the consciousness does previously
he is merged in himself and cannot be found at all so his form or name or
designation is gone avadhuta
says: There
is only one and that one is zero avadhuta
says: ? bindu
says: yes....
NON, neti neti,, HE IS NOT, yet is. Now then this next bit is utterly
stupendous. In himself there is the unstruck sound called OM.. this OM is produced by the potency of infinite emptiness (it is potent because it has the potential to be/contain everything ....... it contains the non-existence of everything... which of course is the negative of existence.........) so then this tension causes the existence of vibration, the vibration reflects (cause and effect) off itself this transmutes into countless refractions and you can see that the single first photon (bindu) creates
itself again by reflection, then light comes; because of the reflection,
this is the birth of consciousness. So then, this light shines in the absolute as unformed consciousness duality has arrived, because there is Void and Light -- shining and awareness of it. Bhairava
takes on form as black space/void in which the light/cosmos manifests light is shakti/Bhairavi; the dance begins and the reflections spin out into the void and all the uncountable trillions of permutations of the first come into being and continue
to grow more and more complex as time goes on....... Time is born from the
vibration. Yet the consciousness does not exist until Iswara says I am.. when he says I am he
grows a form which is the space in which the Atman is. avadhuta
says: May I put it into my words .....Shankara Advaita says Give up time to go into Timeless and Trika
says you are already there where time and timeless as not yet separated ? am
I right ? bindu
says: Yes
that is right, yes. so then we are talking of ichaa-jnana, not simple jnana avadhuta
says: mm
okay bindu
says: Now
when He says I am, He becomes whatever He says.......... avadhuta
says: so
shakti has a lot to do with it.? Yes. So the decent of his grace to the sadhu is reliant on his decision, if the sadhu realizes he is god, that is not enough; nor is it enough to realize that the whole is nothing other than consciousness; that god must realize who he is before he creates the consciousness this is the goal of Trika. Manoo,
You said>>> “Trika
says you are already there where time and timeless as not yet separated ?” So then the trick is to decide as the absolute who dwells beyond time, that you are not manoo. It is to decide that you are the infinite and it is to say honestly that you are God..... If you do not have the honesty to accept it, it will not be true... avadhuta
says: mm bindu
says: Here is karma. Dear God, karma is the device you use to pretend you are manoo or anyone else because the world runs on karma; after all the law of cause and effect is incontrovertible is it not? So then when you say you are manoo it is the truth. You must obey your own law.
Dear
God, when you say in yourself I am God so it is, but manoo cannot say he is
god, only you can. Dear God to give yourself freedom or moksa you have to give it to yourself before time exists this means you must fore-give it (give it before time arrives) how? Ask
who is the imaginer? Ask who is the speaker? Ask who is the hearer? Ask
who is conscious of the consciousness? Ask who is conscious. When
you realize that you are God only then can you say I am God, not manoo. To realize that you are god, you must give yourself permission, you must forgive everything that exists. i.e you must accept or merge everything into your omnipresent self and see that “THAT” is yourself.
Fore-giveness is acceptance, acceptance is grace. Denial of your own godhood is what causes karma i.e
denial of anything as a part of god (of yourself) constitutes denial of your
self does it not? So then to fore-give (to cease applying karma to the jiva, which makes it stay in existence as a separate being), you must accept who you are and what the cosmos is --- the cosmos is the consciousness, it is yours it is not you, (just
as the body is said to be manoos it is not him). You are conscious of
consciousness you see. So
then once you do that, then you can say i am not manoo. yet while manoo
has one speck of denial of
godhood he will be manoo you see? avadhuta
says: Yes
bindu
says: One
begets the whole, one NUMBER means all number, and so on. Now then, to understand that all is space - light/matter ie it all exists in space like a ball suspended in an absolute NULL. We can see that the space in which the ball exists only has limitation because the ball is in it, remove the ball and space collapses back into infinity yes? Smash
the jar and the space enters all space. avadhuta
says: Yes
bindu
says: So
this is how the Bhairava, Siva, and Iswara works as well. The black God is the space, this is the ego, The cosmos is Bhairavi, The cosmos is Atman the space is Iswara - when the Atman is no more the
space is merged beyond Time. Now then when you add a ball to the infinite you of course cause uncountable numbers
of effects yes? which radiate in all directions both inward and outward thus the universe expands in a multidimensional direction all at once, this is the big bang. All
arising from the bindu. So then these directions are infinite in number due to the multiplicity of angles of effect of mass/light in motion, it is like an imploding nuclear bomb, this creates the cosmos instantaneously. Yet the absolute is outside of this... because
both the Iswara and the Atman exist in him, do you see who this is? avadhuta
says: Yes
Its Absolute Union Of Time And Timeless before they separate out as
distinct. bindu
says: Yes,
this is called the consciousness of Bhairava, it is Sri-Tripura in herself. bindu
says: so
then the i that which speaks is “That” ............ here is no man. bindu
says: yet
to say i am manoo or steven or anyone or anything else is to create the
Iswara God
is his own creator you see, he is self caused Om. avadhuta
says: mm bindu
says: Now
you must share this with your friend who said i am not.... and
send it to hari and Tyrone or whoever else you think will understand it i want to make it known who i am from now on. He has made it known in the man called Steven, that is why Steven will be called bindu. so then he says Steven must give it -- it
is time avadhuta
says: i
will |
