Samsara and the rising of the individual

When we speak about awakening to our non-dual nature which is the Self, we often use the analogy of dream vs. reality. It is a coming into recognition of your ever-present awareness and then becoming established as it.

Kundalini rising and the shattering and building of concepts that often follows an expansion in awareness is as real as anything else held in our collective experienced reality. Samsara is the perpetuating experience of individuality, macro-to-microcosm, I am, to -I am until you surrender to what you are.

Since we are not actually departed or locally distant from our true nature, it is an inner knowing of all individuals to realise the truth as fully as we can. Truth is in a way, veiled in plain sight by our own creative free will, touching upon itself, vibrating as creation as it’s no-thing foundation, that is the absolute.

The dream itself is the individual’s limited view of separation due to experienced levels of awareness, not awareness itself.

“Just as matter and it’s sensory qualities are the manifest outwardness of awareness, so is awareness and its sensory qualities it’s unmanifest inwardness” ― Spanda Kārikās

Love

Nothing that is worthy, nothing that can capture the essence from which I am sprung.

That is all. That is all.

I AM NOT THE EGO, EGO IS OF THE I AM.

Ego is of “I”-ness, the separation necessary for experience, for tasting the divinity of its real non-experiential nature, the Self, -selfless and indivisible. It is memory, comprised of the known, conscious and subconscious. It is the doer, reacting upon our past, quickly running to the future or feeling the before, superimposing and analytical, It takes credit for appearances.

"I AM THAT"

What your being is prior to experience or cognition, the source “I” came out from and fall back into, that is the you that is "That". And That is not the ego, the ego is of That. It is without parts, but parts are appearing within That, letting That touch upon itself, knowing to un-know

Our experience of the mind can make us feel like there is a division of an egoic and a non-egoic nature of it, one of heart and one of heartless. To grasp the nature of mind or ego it has to be explored with and from the workings of it. To be able to say that mind is within heart, there has to be the understanding that one is prior to and beyond the “I” that is the ego, and that "I" am not a product of time but that time is a product of the “I”.

When a person becomes drenched in her own stillness, the mind-stuff becomes absent, and in the absence, the Now is the only reality. Ego can not function properly when being in the present moment completely, for what gives ego the opportunity of taking hold of us is the dwelling between past and future, comparing between states of experience.

When the ego stays with itself without continuously perpetuating a persons story, the "I"-ness appear to disappear and separation cease to be our perceived reality. It does not eliminate the ego completely but when there is understanding that everything is appearing within intimate but impersonal consciousness, the workings of the ego or "I"-nature becomes fundamentally changed.

When experiencing everything as the Self, we are permeated with selflessness and humility toward our surroundings. One can be having life experiences immersed in duality while being completely absorbed in the understanding that one is only being-ness where the notion of "I" is a product of one’s own nature, not ultimate (absolute) for it is known. One does no longer give much credit to the "I", and the feeding of conceptual ego can stop. It is beyond life changing for it does not only change how we experience anything, but it relates the heart to the non-experience.

AVERSION OF THE EGO IS THE EGO.

There is no longer need to condemn the ego that has been accepted and dissolved by its own mechanism. Instead there is room for love, honouring the the path of content, making realisation of the pathless possible.
