" skinnydipperception " ! Worth the price of admission!

 

 

" Nobody can say " I am the witness " . The " I am " is always witnessed.

The state of detached awareness is the witness-consciousness,

the " mirror-mind " . It rises and sets with its object and thus it is

not the real. Whatever its object, it remains the same, hence it is

also real. It partakes of both the real and the unreal, and is

therefore a bridge between the two. "

 

" [The supreme state] is not perceivable, because it is what makes

perception possible. It is beyond being and not being. It is neither

the mirror nor the image in the mirror. It is what is - the timeless

reality, unbelievably hard and solid. "

 

" Just like in a cinema all is light, so does consciousness become the

vast world. Look closely and you will see that all names and forms

are but transitory waves on the ocean of consciousness, that only

consciousness can be said to be, not its transformations. In the

immensity of consciousness a light appears, a tiny point that moves

rapidly and traces shapes, thoughts and feelings, concepts and ideas,

like the pen writing on paper. And the ink that leaves a trace is

memory. You are that tiny point, and by your movement the world is

ever re-created. Stop moving and there will be no world. Look within

and you will find that the point of light is the reflection of the

immensity of light in the body, as the sense " I am " . There is only

light, all else appears. To the mind, it [that light] appears as

darkness. It can be known only through its reflections. All is seen

in daylight - except daylight. To be the point of light tracing the

world is turiya. To be the light itself is turiyatita. But of what

use are names when reality is so near? "
