Guest guest Report post Posted July 30, 1999 The Reality of Awareness appears to manifest through the mind/body, and at the same time it seems that mind/body, ego, manifestations of siddhis, and indeed all and any related perceptions, only exist within the Reality of Awareness. It is the experience of the Sage that Reality exists along with and independent of the conditions of the mind/body as well. Siddhis are only the conditions of the mind. But the mind itself can be seen as only a condition that appears to emanate from the Source of Knowing and disappears into that. Therefore, Reality embraces all conditions and is limited neither by duality nor nonduality or any particular theology, philosophy, radical point of view, etc. Once an ice cube melts into water, it is hard to know which portion of the water was the ice cube. Similarly, once the mind is absorbed in the Heart, One Is the Heart. Yet, how can one ever have been out of the Heart? The disappearance of this mystery might be called Self-Realization.
