Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 February 7, 1981 Q: I am becoming more aware of my " I Amness" as a product of the food body. M: You must be that principle prior to the emanation of the word "I". Suppose I get a prick here - that principle prior to the emanation of words and feelings, you are. M: This knowingness, or understanding, is in the realm of consciousness. Whatever you say that you know and feel is consciousness only. The absolute is beyond this. Q: In practice how can we go further? M: Deal with the consciousness only, get to know it thoroughly. That is all that can be done. Later on everything happen spontaneously, doership goes. Know the inside-out of consciousness and recognize it as useless; it is a fraud. When you transcend it, you will say, "I can manage without this". This is imperfect! Therefore, meditate in order to know the consciousness. Q: I have never been able to meditate. M: When you were unaware of this message of " I AM". How did you function? The questions I put, nobody can answer. All of you great scholars, people with a lot of knowledge, have gone into quietude. M: When your problems are solved, you are also solved; I want you to dwell on that borderline of consciousness, no consciousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
