DEAR ASOKA

dear asoka,

intelligence is awareness/manas/mind/ etc etc.

awareness of the self as it is, is bliss/peace/silence etc.

experience of the self without awareness is silence. no one can call it anything here since there is no awareness.


this absolute silence is /bramhanandam/nithyanandam/dwandwatheetham/nirgunam/ Sathyam/santham/anirvachaneeyam/indefinable/absolute/questionless/ sath/sadasivam/etc etc.........

dear Derek contd

dear Derek contd

Imagine you asked me a question
for example you asked me "what is the treatment for acute myocardial infarction"

i said "initial treatment is Aspirin + clopidogrel".

this is the answer that came into existence when i said it.but what about its existence before i said it. Did this answer exist? Did this particular answer exist somewhere?

what we can say with 100% confidence is it should exist somewhere.

Am i aware of its existence before you asked the aforementioned question?

NO, because i am not thinking about aspirin+clopidogrel before you asked the question.

Imagine, the following day you asked me the same question.and i answered it as "aspirin +clopidogrel".

Hey, it once again came into existence as a manifestation.

What is its status regarding its existence between the two questions?

it is not in the form of manifest (if it is in the form of manifest, it should always be in my consciousness and i cant do anything but think about it, but it is not the case with anyone THANK GOD). But, it should be there somewhere for it to be manifested (or to manifest itself, either can be true).

It is there in my memory all the time without my awareness. It is always there in the form of silence in memory.

Awareness of different ideas,things, thoughts, feelings,theories, opinions, views, analysis, intial points of all practices etc is relative.i.e. ( different effects for different impressions).But the memory of each and everything is silence. it includes the basic awareness called"I ",

the memory of "I" is calmness,peace, tranquility,happiness as peace(not as euphoria or excitement) absolute,questionless, complete, realized state, SATH in sanskrit, SADASIVA in indian philosohy, chidakasa in indian philosophy. (this is the peace, the tranquility that is experienced by all masters and spiritual gurus) ( remember you told me "Ultimate enlightenment? A Zen master would say, "throw it away if you find it!", the ultimate enlightenment is absolute state of silence without EVER MANIFESTING itself as intelligence. There will never be any point of throwing because there is no awareness here).

ONce it(the answer for the question what is the treatment for myocardial infarction) manifests it comes into awareness (for basic "I" the manifestation itself is awarenes, it is intelligence). The more times i am asked this question, the more times it manifests.And the more times i like it/hate it/think about it/acknowledge it/judge it , the more it gets into my memory in a form where it is easy to get manifested. i.e, the manifestation becomes more easy and fast with increase in the frequency of the manifestations.

THAT IS WHY IN MEDITATION, THE BEGINNER IS ASKED TO OBSERVE WHAT

EVER THAT OCCURS WITH OUT JUDGEING IT. IF YOU "JUST OBSERVE " AND YOU

DONTJUDGE IT, YOU RECOGNIZE your (THE) OBSERVER STATE. THE MORE YOU

RECOGNIZE THE OBSERVER STATE THE MORE IT(the observer state) MANIFESTS

ITSELF AND THE SEEKER BECOMES A MASTER BY KNOWING HIS EXISTENCE AS THE

OBSERVER AT ALL TIMES. (here time and space are present and the person is aware of his existence as observer)


the MASTER becomes THE englightened Guru by being in state of memory/calmness for

eternity. (remember time and space will be there in awareness, but not in memory, so eternity

is possible only here)


the one who knows the self knows all.


ask me more, i am all here to tell you. it is not tough to know the self. it is very easy and it

hardly takes 2 minutes.


THE CORRECT QUESTION(S) bring(s) IN THE CORRECT ANSWER.

To Derek

dear Derek,
the "cause" of "qowpgiffo" is the one that is always in existence.

existence is possible in two ways

1)there is existence, and it is aware of its existence. this is intelligence.

2)there is existence and it is not aware of its existence. this is memory.

intelligence cant be there without memory. They are inseparable.

memory cant say it is there without manifestation as intelligence. in this way memory is inseperable from intelligence.

this inseperable memory/intelligence duo(for discussion sake i am calling it duo,they are the one and same)which is manifesting as "Derek" is in quest of happiness (happiness means peace and happiness is not euphoria or excitement)which it/he gets in its/his state of existence as memory which is unaware of its existence.

this state of existence which is unaware of its existence,i.e memory alone without manifesting as intelligence is the state of realization.

this realization state is complete silence which is unaware of its existence.

Manifest memory is intelliegence. what is not there in memory cant manifest.

Unmanifest memory is silence and absolute state of existence.

All spiritual quests start at this state of intelligence/memory inseparable duo and end in a state of unmanifest memory.

But, the unmanifeste memory cant be classified as the cause of manifest memory.

this can be explained, further more but correct answer comes for a correct question.

avadooth.

Intelligence

Every thing is intelligence, nothing ever existed.

Scientific knowledge explains 2 things, the living and the non-living.

Living things have certain characters and are supposed to be different from the non-living.
Living things are characterized by their ability to recognize themselves. In perfect words they have the awareness of their own existence, where as the non-living (supposedly) don’t have this ability.

Now, try to understand this logic.

CASE 1:
Imagine yourself ship-wrecked and in a lonely island where there is nobody to recognize you. You are non-existent to the whole world (in fact the whole world is blissfully ignorant of your existence). But, you are aware of your existence. Here you have lost the character of existence in the view point of the world, however, your existence is there (thanks to your very own awareness). If you lose your awareness of your existence, you practically become non-existent.

CASE: 2
Imagine you are in a city and have lost your mind (some demylenating illness or in some kind of coma). In your very own opinion you don’t exist (in fact you don’t have an opinion). But, your existence will be there in the view-point of the world (because you are in a city and there are people who recognize your existence).

In the above mentioned cases there is one point in common that awareness is present in both and its existence is dependant on the ability to recognize (that awareness can be either your very own self’s or that of other intelligent beings’).

So, how can a non-living thing exist.(it is supposed to have no awareness of itself). The answer is quite evident. Their existence is dependent on the awareness or recognizing ability of intelligent beings.

How much is it dependent on intelligence?
Its dependence is complete (to the very fundamental and basic existence of intelligence). We shall see. Imagine if nobody sees a particular stone in a forest. Literally nobody sees it. Can we( or for that matter anyone) say the stone ever existed. We cant say because we did not perceive it (and the stone cant say that it exists because it lacks awareness) for all practical and theoretical purposes the stone does not exist.

This is a tricky situation, a doubt in your mind tells you “fine, why can’t the stone exist even if nobody observes it?” “do you mean to say that if I don’t observe the sun ( or for that matter if nobody observes the sun) will it cease to exist?”

The answer is very simple “yes”. If nobody ever witnessed the sun there will never be a question like the one you asked above. So, the question doesn’t properly satisfy the condition. If we are able to ask “whether this particular thing (here the stone in forest) existed or not.”, the very question ( because the question is nothing but intelligence/awareness) recognizes the existence of the stone (in question) thereby it does not satisfying the condition “if nobody ever observes………”. This means any doubts, questions, inquiries, analysis etc about the existence (of the stone) give the stone the status of existence.

Now we will try to understand it in a different example. Nobody ever witnessed a thing called “qowpgjffo”. (Before this second, I, myself don’t know anything about “qowpgjffo”). Since no one ever witnessed it or has at least a faint hint of its existence it does not exist.(but it comes in to existence the very second I gave this example “Nobody ever …….“qowpgjffo”, here my intelligence gives way to its existence).

So, non-living things exist nowhere but in the intelligence. Intelligence defines non-living things. In fact there is never any non-living thing , there is only intelligence in the form of living and non-living things. It is the intelligence that defines the living and non-living things as separate and distinct.

Scientifically speaking, imagine a glass of water in front of you. The water in the glass is not you, it is non-living “thing”. Now if you drink water, it becomes you ( a living thing). Water in a space enclosed by a tumbler is non living but when it is enclosed in a space surrounded by a living thing(here the stomach), it becomes living! Oh my gosh! Where is the separation between living and non living things.

Cell is 90% water and 9% salts, minerals, etc, rest contains proteins, fat globules, ions, energy, oxygen, CO2, etc. and we humans could not understand what is a living thing until now.

DNA contains base pairs ACGT, which are made up of ions of hydrongen , nitrogen , and oxygen. DNA is living thing and hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are non-living. It is not found at what point these non-living ions become living things.

People say the brain is the centre for intelligence. But it is made up of only atoms and subatomic particles when studied deeply. Nullifying the differences between living and nonliving things.

Interesting isn’t it? Non living things oriented in particular manner in space and time become intelligent and they define unintelligent non-living things and give them the status of existence. But to get oriented in a particular way, you need to have organized effort which is nothing but intelligence. Intelligence and matter are inseparable So intelligence it self which is inseparable from matter when gets organized in one way it is called living and if organizes in other way it is called non-living..

This explains intelligence (living thing) is inseparable from matter (non-living things) and defines the existence of everything .

What is illusion?

Illusion is false interpretation of stimulus.

In lay man terms it is imagination, unreal or virtual etc.

For illusion to be present, there should be one perceiver or the subject and stimulus. The perceiver if interprets the stimulus in wrong way (in any other way than it is intended), illusion comes in to picture.

In another words the statement “everything is illusion” is erroneous. Here everything should include literally “everything” but it fails to include the subject or the perceiver of illusion and the stimulus.

In Indian philosophy this is explained in the terms of “Rajjosarpanyayam”. A person see a rope in darkness and mistakes it for a snake. What the mind believes to be true it accepts to be true and reacts accordingly. He gets sweating, palpitation , tremors etc, which are signs of anxiety. Here rajjo means rope and sarpam is snake (I know you know this). Here the stimulus is the sight of rope which is real and the perception of it as a snake is illusion (which is imaginary). My point is for illusion to be present, there should be a perceiver (the person who saw the rope) and the rope (which is stimulus here).

The existence of illusion is dependant on stimulus and perceiver. Like wise, the existence of stimulus is dependant on the perceiver (the very fact that different people have different thresholds for stimuli explains this). Therefore, the perceiver is the centre point of everything. He/she/it is not an illusion or stimulus.

The perceiver defines illusion and limits it. Illusion doesn’t comprise the subject.

illusion

this is my first blog and let me tell you something about me
Rules that bind everything in life make me feel tied down and I kinda have aversion for them.

this aversion made me think in a way different from routine and i came up with some conclusions which i want to share now

1. There is no illusion, illusion itself is an illusion so it nullifies itself and becomes nonexistent.
2. Everything is intelligence, nothing else ever existed.
3. Nothing beyond the perceiver, the so called subject, is ever there.
4. Existence is intelligence itself - no exsistence possible without intelligence.


These statements have sound logical and analytical background from various fields of life which can be discussed.
