Worded world. (Nancy Neithercut)

 The worded world of separate things and events, of time dimension and all measurement, all this and that is the shared dream of objectified separation. This consensus conceptual overlay consists of flowing description and is mistaken by most for reality. As conceptual beings we can only ‘know’ this conceptual world. But all description all words are defined by other words, and create or paint this world of this and that, and are not inherent to the physical world. If our brains were different we would have a different description of the world, a different reality.

It is the height of ego grandiosity to believe that when you die, the universe disappears. That is why we call it the shared dream of separation, the only world we exist in, the only world we know.

Only through us does measurement enter the universe, only though us do love and beauty enter the world. We are the light of the world, the pinnacle of evolution where there is an awareness of aliveness and of awareness through this imaginary separation.

The knowing that and feeling that all separation is made up, that all things are mentally fabricated is the shift in perspective of which I sing. It is simply beyond belief or imagination or understanding. It is a sublime emptiness and an amazement that anything seems to appear at all. It is like the first and last kiss… always…

As this unicity is always on, it cannot and need not be brought about anew.

It is merely recognized or not.

I love this post that I saved from Nancy's writings and wanted to share! She includes thoughts like these in her beautiful books (available on Amazon). 😉 Eve Reece Nancy has 'shifted' into another way of being -"awakening" would be a mild term for her realization, words are inadequate! "There is a generalized compassion and uncontrived unconditional love that arises When it is seen That we are clearly Without a doubt Each other And love can look like a lions roar or a butterfly kiss Some are not fond of what I say There is no god no true self no source no timeless awareness or pure consciousness there is no method or path that leads to awakening no one awakens no one has ever awakened in the history of mankind 'Awakening' doesn't make you a saint or a selfless doormat It has nothing to do with feeling better or becoming a better person You do not become a rainbow light body Thoughts do not stop Feeling deeply does not end However it becomes impersonal There is nothing solid or stable or fixed there would have to be separate things in order to have movement or nonmovement and there are no things There is no escaping this dream of separation that you are there is no outside to the dream as outside and inside are all dream stuff just like all this and that This is it coyote this is your life whatever it looks or feels like and it's not even yours" ❤

The picture show...(Eve/Reece/Tony Parsons)

 

The picture show...

A huge "model" in non dual teaching is that of the movie and screen and 

characters and awakening from the dream. All of those "things" interact 

with the end purpose of coaxing the searcher away from a devoted belief

in separation. Simply a picture show. The moviegoer identifies with 

a character who is deeply asleep looking for the saving grace of knowing

true identity lies in the screen. The character is really consciousness, and

awakening is told as that finding. This story is quite easily enjoyed by 

a moviegoing "me," and brings a knowing quiet to the theatre.

Yet..this story can be shelved with other stories heralded for their 

awakening potential.  Some are called scripture.  But..enter a spontaneous 

story made of nothing, and a dancing thought that any story, or no story, 

will do... Home and not home for the homeless...

Many years ago, I read this in Tony’s book, ‘As It Is’…”When I know what I am, I discover that I am not existence, I am the presence which allows existence to be”.

These words left a tremendous impression on me. I felt that all my years of searching had finally come to an end. I could finally sit back and watch the ‘picture show’, the comedy/drama. I could now understand why Tony seems so amused by it all!

To quote Tony from his book - “I am not my life story, the mind, the body, feelings, experiences of pain or pleasure, struggles, success, or failure. I am not loneliness, stillness, frustration, or compassion. I am not even what I think is my purpose, the seeking, the finding, or anything which is called spiritual experience.

When I don’t know what I am, I sanctify experiences, take ownership of them, give them great significance. I believe they mean something which, when understood, will provide me with answers and formulas. But these experiences are only consciousness concealing and revealing itself in order to be recognized. When I know “what” I am, I discover that I am not existence, I am the presence which allows existence to be. Existence either blossoms in that presence or reflects back my sense of separation."

Everything..

 

 

Everything..

The non dual way says that the "me" (separate self) and the "other" are illusory concepts, and love and freedom are found  by recognizing the illusion  The dualistic way says the story of me and the other constitute reality..which brings about "relationships," expected suffering,  and separation assumptions about everything..which the non dual way would say is the dream. Apparently.  However, might we recognize that duality can be expressed either as independent reality, or as a non dual "appearance."  Nonduality appearing as everything.  Importantly..no right or wrong expressions in "everything." But we can also say that all of this stuff amounts to conceptions, thoughts, interpretations..all of which happened in my writing, and in your reading.  Appearances all..!  And all perfect and whole. This!  This is the spontaneous message of Nothing/everything, considered to be radical Neo-Advaita by some, but simple and directly fulfilling by growing numbers of discoverers. 

Mesmerization...(Nathan Gill)

 

While the story of individuality is happening, purpose will usually seem significant; there’s a sense of a ‘me’ going somewhere. That’s the play of life. The idea that there’s no time never makes any sense to "me."   Time is mesmerisation with the story in thought such that it appears significant, whereupon thoughts of past or future—which are actually only presently appearing ideas—are taken to be real. The only reality ‘past’ and ‘future’ have is in fact as ideas.

Mesmerization

with the stories we tell.  Accumulated stories.  Which seem to be 

what we are all about. Some are unpleasant, others not.  Knowing 

"stories-as-stories" glides past as failing to add to our settled 

understanding.  Stories grab our freedom.  Even the pleasant ones

nostalgically shackle our days.   Characters with stories..and 

quiet longing.  Longing for stories-as-stories to give us pause, as

no one.. Simply that...

A thought...(Byron Katie)

 

There are lines of "teaching" which identify thought as the

culprit..that is, a thought that is a face of "me."  Then comes

the recommended inquiry which wrestles with the thought,

which is really me wrestling with me.  This makes me happy, as

it seems that a win over the thought will set me free,  perhaps

as soon as this week.  While in secret..a loss of the match, allowing 

the thought to be, is the end of me..and..freedom is found to be

already appearing as me...

Fading solidity..

 

Fading solidity..

Fading.. may seem appropriate

for a non dual journey..an initial solidity

with seeming permanence..becomes lighter..

Trees fading from green to white..to the 

whiteness of snow..all of this seems as

the role of the artist: to depict the temporary

and transparency of it all..a pleasant story..

But a story it is..entertaining "me.."

Yet we might let this story be a story

Appearing as this..and real beauty is

At last exposed...

"I am" explodes..!!

 

"I am" explodes..!!

There is the self inquiry

used by some to discover what

is said to be a new self..

Qualifications of I are dropped:

names and genders and all locatables..

Leaving a lonesome I am..and a possible

frightening explosion leaving no-thing

freeing up everything..or for others

just an explosion..these are dreams

By no one containing explosions...
