The Dissolution of the Mind - the withdrawal of the sense of I from the notion of an identity to thoughts and impressions:

[Guest guest]

The Dissolution of the Mind - the withdrawal of the sense of "I" from the notion

of an identity to thoughts and impressions:

 

When, through the various practices of yoga the mind becomes pure and we are

told about our True Self abiding in the Heart (Hrdayam) as being all-pervasive,

there is a sudden sense of recollection where the mind is reflected back on the

Self.

 

This recollection of our single Truth is felt as a pulsation of the sense of "I"

felt in the Atma nadi (an extension of the sushumna) between the Heart (Hrdayam)

and the Crown (Sahasrara).

 

Until this is felt, there continues the concept, idea, impression or imagination

that the "I" is the identity between the "I" sense and thoughts and sensations

of the body in reaction to an apparently separate world.

 

This identity (ego) is not real, only the "I" is real. When the single "I" is

felt, it pulsates as a gravitational force sucking in any impressions that

appear in the mind, such that the mind is filled with live pervasive light, much

the same as though when looking at a slide or movie, the screen fades to white,

as the power of the light is increased.

 

Once this inward pulling force tales hold, you abide permanently in Its

Singularity, and witness, without attention, the dissolution of the sense of

identity to thoughts, sensations impressions and images. Everything related to

ideas of time and space dissolves, as you abide single,.... uncaused,....

unconditioned,... space-like,... without thoughts nor a thinker...

 

"Emptiness here, emptiness there, no difference for definitions have vanished

and no boundaries are seen..." (3rd Zen Patriarch)

 

This "recollection" is so clear and profound that it releases you entirely from

all concepts as you abide in your single recollected Truth.

 

What is imaginary is the idea of there being an identity between the "I", which

is the all pervasive substratum felt in the Heart, and the images appearing in

the conscious field. When the Heart (the Self) recollects Itself, you become

aware that you are the single substratum, and you awaken to the timeless

experience of your Self as That. The sense of identity falls away like a

mirage. It's simply relinquished.

 

There is an inward drawing sensation of the sense of "I" from the diverse

attention to the concocted idea of identity to Its ever abiding Single Truth, as

you are drawn into the experience of your Self as pervasive blazing Light. "I am

the Light of the world" is what you awaken to, and you entirely forget the

former dream of "I am this and that" as being no more than an illusion, that

even as you look upon it it vanishes.

 

As to the thoughts and images and planes that are illumined and have their

reflected appearance within the Diamond Mind, they are discovered to continue

automatically without the slightest idea of a doer or the use of attention and

focus to see and know.

 

Somehow the Truth has to be heard. Once heard, It takes hold of you and cannot

be lost, as the dissolution of the "I" from the images in the mind prevails

steadily. Whether the mind is agitated and active or still and pure, somehow

this "hearing" has to take effect, after which this force of Dissolution will

prevail.

 

This experience is within the immediate possibility of everyone, as It is the

Truth even now. Abandoning imagination, the Self is Realized as ever abiding

Truth, as "I am the Truth."

 

There is nothing at all philosophical to this. Abandoning attention to all

thoughts, you awaken to and emerge as Self.

Question:

Are the past and future mere imagination?

 

Ramana Maharshi:

Yes, even the present is mere imagination,

for the sense of time is purely mental.

Space is similarly mental.

Therefore birth and rebirth, which take place in

time and space, cannot be other than imagination.
