Cytat:Cokolwiek by o Nim nie mówić, istoty Tao nie da się opisać.
Można nadać Mu nazwę, ale to nie będzie właściwa nazwa.
Nicość to początek Nieba i Ziemi.
Byt zaś jest Matką wszystkiego stworzenia.
Poprzez Nicości można poznać jak subtelne jest Tao.
Dzięki Bytowi można ujrzeć Jego bezmiar.
Oba jednocześnie się wyłoniły,
a potem odrębne przyjęły nazwy.
Pozostały jednak równie tajemnicze.
Tajemnicze a jeszcze bardziej tajemnicze się stają.
Z nich się rodzi ogrom i subtelność.

Daniel Feldman napisał(a):To access the consciousness of Vast Face, one must renounce Small Face (in whose dream you are a creature) for release from the dream universe. Hence, it is "only through the Son (Small Face) that one can know the Father (Vast Face)."

Chaim Luzzatto napisał(a):Everything we see that appears to be the opposite of His will exists only because He allows it in accordance with His deep plan, which will continue unfolding until He brings everything to complete perfection. At present God leaves man with freedom of choice for as long as He wills. But in the end - whether through repentance or by means of punishment - everything will return to complete perfection. This is called "the oneness of Eyn Sof, blessed be He".

Robert Adams napisał(a):When you first wake up, those few seconds between getting up, waking up. Just before you wake up, that’s when you are in your true state. You just opened your eyes and you haven’t thought of a single thought yet, that lasts a few seconds. Think about that time, don’t you really feel good in those few seconds. Before you start thinking about the days activities, that's reality.

Try to catch yourself tomorrow morning as soon as you open your eyes. Before a thought comes. That is your true state and that is what you are. Forget about your problems. There is a power that knows how to take care of everything for you, if you allow it to. You have to allow it to. You have to surrender your ego, your pride, your concepts, your opinions, your questions, your answers, everything has to be surrendered and the power works on its own volition.

A great Master said, "Take no thought of what you should eat, of what you should wear, of where you should go, but seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things will be added unto you," it's the same thing. But how often do you take thought. Most people take thought every moment, you're always thinking, worrying, trying to correct something, trying to figure it out. And that's what keeps you from the kingdom of heaven.

So what do you do, nothing. You do not try to fix anything. You do not even try to change. You simply become your Self, just the way you really are. You leave the world alone. You leave things alone, you leave people alone.
alone. You leave things alone, you leave people alone.

So you say, "How can I exist? I have to go to work? I have to mix with people? I have to make decisions?" Have no fear. You will do all those things, but it'll be different. You will understand totally that you are not the doer. Your body came to this earth to do something and it will do its job. You have absolutely nothing to do with it. Stop fighting, stop trying to make things happen, keep your mind on your Self.

What do I mean when I say, "Keep your mind on yourself?" Your real Self is your heart, not your human heart, but your spiritual heart. Your heart is God. Keep your mind stayed on God in your heart. If you want to use your imagination to begin with, you can image a sphere of white light in your heart on the right side of your chest, your spiritual heart. And allow all your thoughts to merge into your heart.

Cytat:1. Bondage is when the mind longs for something, grieves about something, rejects something, holds on to something, is pleased about something or displeased about something.

2. Liberation is when the mind does not long for anything, grieve about anything, reject anything, or hold on to anything, and is not pleased about anything or displeased about anything.

3. Bondage is when the mind is tangled in one of the senses, and liberation is when the mind is not tangled in any of the senses.

4. When there is no "me," that is liberation, and when there is "me" there is bondage. Consider this carefully, and neither hold on to anything nor reject anything.

Cytat:Everything you see comes to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are heard come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are touched come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are tasted come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are thought of, come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things, which are imagined, come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things that are learned come to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All that is manifest comes to pass.
Know that you are not that.
All things of the mind come to pass.
Know that you are not that.

That which does not come to pass,
but inside which all phenomena come to pass,
know That - to be your Self.

Cytat:When he says, "I need no one or I need nothing and I am free," he doesn't mean that literally. He means he's not attached to people, places and things. There's quite a difference. You ask perhaps, "How can I have a relationship without being attached?" You canhave the most beautiful relationship that you can ever imagine. It doesn't mean you become a loner on this path. It means you have friends, you have loved ones, but you give them all the freedom in the world and you're not attached to their emotions or with anything else. That means total uncommitted love. It's a little different than what most people do. Being non-attached means being compassionate, being loving, being kind. Now you know what mercy means. Helping your friend before you even help yourself. If you're attached you think of yourself first but if you're not attached you think of the other person first, there is a lot to that.

Cytat:In my first year as a monk in northeast Thailand, I was travelling in the back of the car with 2 other Western monks, and with Ajahn Chah, my teacher, sitting in the front passenger seat. Ajahn Chah suddenly turned around and looked at the young American novice monk sitting next to me, and then said something in Thai. The third Western monk in the car was fluent in Thai and translated for us, "Ajahn Chah says that you are thinking about your girlfriend back in L.A."


The jaw of the American novice dropped almost to the floor. Ajahn Chah had been reading his thoughts -- accurately. Ajahn Chah smiled, and his next words were translated as, "Don't worry. We can fix that. Next time you write to her, ask her to send to you something personal, something intimately connected to her, which you can bring out whenever you miss her, to remind you of her."


"Is that allowable for a monk?" asked the novice, surprised. "Sure," said Ajahn Chah, through the translator.


Perhaps monks understand romance after all.


What Ajahn Chah said next took many minutes to translate. Our translator had to stop laughing and pull himself together first.


"Ajahn Chah says..." He struggled to get the words out, wiping away tears of mirth, "Ajahn Chah says you should ask her to send you a bottle of her shit. Then whenever you miss her, you can bring out the bottle and open it!"

Cytat:SN: I was reading a book by Ramana. (SD: Did he really write it?)
R: He just wrote some verses, but the mistake that most people make about that, is
there's too much separation. And as long as there is separation there is going to be trouble.
Because if you fall in love with the guru, the first mistake the guru makes, so it appears,
then you hate him. Because physical Love is the other side of the coin of hate. But when
you look at a guru as not being a person, but being your Self, that's different. (ST: Can you
repeat that?) When you look at a guru as not being a person but being your Self that's a
completely different story. You make a mistake according to your thinking. See because
you give them your own... (ST: Egoless? That you’re egoless...) Yes I was just going to say
that. You want God to live up to your expectations. (laughs) (SS: And that's your ego want-
ing freedom?) Yes, in other words, you are creating God in your image. So you expect the
guru to do this. As an example, say you're celibate, so of course you're going to expect
your guru to be celibate. Say you live in a cave, so you want your guru to live in a cave
also. And if he lives in a house you'll say that's not a Guru because he lives in a house he
should live in a cave. See we give all our expectations to the guru.
SD: Don't we do that to God too? (R: To God, same thing.) And we anthropomorphize.
R: Exactly, but the true way is to totally surrender to your Self. Then you will be
led to the true sat-guru which is none other than your Self and then there will be harmony.
Because then you couldn't care less what the guru does because the guru is your Self.
SN: Robert doesn't that also happen in personal relationships rather than love the guru
you have that love in your personal relationships and you have expectations and then you get put
down? (R: Of course.) Not any different? (R: Of course.)
SD: I think most people fall in love with an image of the other person, and what usually
happens in relationships is that neither person can live up to the other so the other has to move
forward.
R: Expect nothing and you will never be disappointed. (SN: And should you also see
the other person in the relationship as your Self?) Yes, you should. (ST: How do you do that?)
R: You simply realize there is one Self and that Self is me. So you and I are one,
therefore, whatever you do to me I can't be mad at you. (SS: Yes, but how do you do that?
(laughs) By working on yourself. (SS: With self-inquiry?) Through self-inquiry, through
mind control. (SD: Would you ask yourself, "Who feels hurt?") You can ask yourself "Who
feels hurt? Who is seeing all these things? To whom do these feelings come?"
ST: In every situation rather than change the situation you have to change yourself wher-
ever you go?
R: Yes you have to bring your Self with you. (ST: (tape unclear)) Same thing exactly.
Well you have to draw a line some place, some time, depends on your advancement, your
maturity. But if you're living with a person that you can't get along with and you want to
develop yourself, and you can't be in those circumstances then you should change them.
But if you're not working on yourself if you change your circumstances they'll pop up
somewhere else.

Cytat:Everyone who seeks should continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be troubled at the contemplation of Truth, but when he has passed through the time of trouble, he will be astonished at the brightness of the Light, for the Way of Truth is the Pathway to the Eternal Godhead, and the price of the beatific vision is the wringing of the soul. The person who desires to rise above all things must descend below all things, for the way to the heights passes through the depths of anguish, which generate the fires of Life. The person who has suffered and found Life is blessed

Cytat:The Way of the Prophets is a trail of tears. I have commissioned you to be prophets to this generation. Consequently, they will ridicule and revile you, saying all kinds of bad things about you. What? Don't you know that they have always rejected the prophets whom I have sent among them? Yes, I tell you the truth when I say that even those who follow the prophets do not understand them, for they speak of the things of the Spirit, which cannot be apprehended by the physical mind. The prophet is alone with the Eloheim, for of all mortals, it is he who sees the reality which he cannot convey to his people. Lonely is the Way of the prophet, but if he brings one soul one step closer to Light, all his loneliness and grief is justified, for great will be his joy in the heavenly realm, and he will become a great company at the seat of the Highest."

Cytat:"Then I asked the Redeemer, ‘How can we discern between those who are following you and those who are following an Anti-Christ, one who appears to be you but whose substance is illusion?’ This is what the Master explained to me. ‘John, there are three different entities, all of whom are called mankind. There are those who are trapped in physical existence. These eat and sleep. They drink wine and promiscuously engage in sexual intercourse. They act according to instinct, doing whatever pleases their bodies, and whatever does not please their bodies they abstain from doing. They are no different from any other kind of animal. Their bodies become their gods, governing their decisions and their deeds. These form the vast majority of mankind.

"‘Separate from these is a much smaller group which is trapped in mental existence. These have the capacity to be human, although they may never develop that capacity. They govern their choices by their mental processes. They are reasonable and logical, but they cannot rise above the limitations of mortal mind. They act according to rational thinking, doing whatever pleases their minds, and whatever does not please their minds they abstain from doing. Their minds become their gods, governing their decisions and their deeds. These are the servants of the demiurge, who maintain that their way of thinking is right and all others are wrong. They are so convinced of their self-righteousness that they cannot perceive the Sun of Righteousness when it shines right before them.

"‘The smallest group of all consists of those who live on a spiritual plane. These transcend the limitations of mortal existence. They join the angels and rise to dwell among the Eloheim while they are still in mortality. These are not trapped by their bodies or their minds, for they bring body and mind into subjection to the Light within them so that they are transformed into the Divine image. These put on the mind of Christ. They become the Father and the Son, the Son submitting to the Father in every situation.

Cytat:Surrender path is not through the mind but the heart. It is being out of your head and the feelings put in the heart. It is the surrender to a Force far greater than ourselves. It is the path of love from ego consciousness to Soul Consciousness. It is an assumption, which reality, reveals the illusion there are not two parties but a non-duality in which the individual has no independent existence. Om

Cytat:Awareness takes the place of consciousness; in consciousness there is the 'I', who is conscious while awareness is undivided; awareness is aware of itself.

The 'I am' is a thought, while awareness is not a thought, there is no 'I am aware' in awareness.

Consciousness is an attribute while awareness is not; one can be aware of being conscious, but not conscious of awareness.

God is the totality of consciousness, but awareness is beyond all -- being as well as not-being.
