What Am I & What Do I Know?

I am Knowing-Being and I know that existence does not exist apart from the knowing of it. That knowledge comes from direct experience.

Existence does not “stand apart” or “stand out” from the knowing of existence. All there is to know of existence is the direct, ever-present, limitless experience of my True Identity: Knowing-Being.

Understanding that Knowing-Being is what I am and all there is; then any arising thought or image is reconciled & recognized in peace.

Understanding that Knowing-Being is what I am and all there is; then any arising sensation-feeling is reconciled & recognized in happiness-love-joy-bliss.

Understanding that Knowing-Being is what I am and all there is, then any arising sight-sound-taste-texture-smell is reconciled & recognized in beauty.

Where am I? Indivisibly HERE

When am I? Ever-Presently NOW

What do I experience? Knowing-Being.

No matter the differing forms/names of experience, (thinking-sensing-feeling-perceiving), they are all equally recognized and known. They are made of the same knowing substance, but they do not, in & of “themselves”, know “themselves”.

Mind-body-world are known. They are concepts. They do not know Knowing.

What does know Knowing then? The One Knowing-Being that is Self-Known.

“God & Man are One”

One Knowing: One Known.

Identify with Knowing-Being as what you are, and experience Peace, Happiness, Freedom.

Identify with form/name as what you are, and experience the suffering of apparent separation and confusion.

Any known does not know Knowing. Knowing is the ONLY knowing that knows and is itself known. Knowing is the only known there is.

Worship the Formless Nameless Knowing-Being, not Its apparent forms-names. The forms & names are all known equally the same, and Knowing is the only Common Denominator & Owner of all that is known. The known belongs to the Knowing. Give back to the Knowing all apparent forms & names. Be that Knowing, knowingly. Know that you are made of knowing. And what is known then is that Knowing.

Knowing-Being.

Knowing-Existence

Creator-Creation

I Am – It Is.

Not Two.

Happiness Is What I Already Am.

All experience is the Indivisible Knowing Being that I know IT is. How do I know?

I know because only Knowing knows experience. Experience does not know itself. I am my own Knowing & Known Being. I am that Knowing Being. I only experience MySelf, the Knowing of Experience. Knowing is all that is known and experienced.

It is I am.

So there is no need to get a “different” knowing experience. That’s impossible. There is only the one Knowing. Not two. Any experience is known the exact SAME. Can the knowing of any experience be different than the knowing of any other experience? No. Knowing of experience is the SAME no matter the size, shape, name, colour, sight, sound, taste, smell, thrill, or intensity. Knowing Being is all that is being experienced. I am That.

Knowing, Itself, is always shining brightly the SAME. No known experience can obscure, disturb, perturb, disrupt or destroy the knowing of it; no matter how pleasurable it is, or how painful it is. Knowing Being shines fully continuously, regardless of any particular temporary known experience. Identify “I” to be the “knowing of experience”, and not to be a body-mind (sensation-thought) experiencing a “world”. These are known. Mind-body-world are known. They do not know. They are the experienced; they have no separate reality in and of themselves. Even though they are made of the same knowing substance, they do not know themselves. The forms of experience know nothing at all. Only the Knowing Reality, that permeates all that is known, knows. I am that, and so are you. There is no separate me and you to know. The Knowing is the one and only, indivisible, known experience; not the knowns as separate knowns.

I never experience forms and forms never experience Me. I, Knowing, only experience MySelf. Only Myself: the Knowing of Knowing. There is no “other” experience to know or desire, except in dreams. Uncover and unveil what knows and what is known, and all desire to know “something else” will dissolve.

And nothing I, Knowing, experience or cease experiencing, has the power to make Me happy or make Me miserable. I am the Peace-Happiness that passeth all understanding.

I release the objects of mind-body-world of the impossible task of removing ignorance for me. I release the objects of mind-body-world of the impossible task of producing happiness for me.

For I know who I am now. I shine as the Ever-Present, Unlimited, Indivisible, Open, Empty, Spaceless Space of Knowing.

How can I serve you?

I Give Myself Back to Awareness

Mind is a concept. All there is to ‘mind’ is the experience of the current thought/concept/memory/image. All there is to a thought/concept/memory/image is the experience of thinking. And what is thinking made of? It is made of awareness. I do not assume a thought is made of something else. All there is to the experience of thinking is the direct experience of being aware; Awareness Experiencing Itself. I give back to Awareness what rightfully belongs to Awareness. I give back to Awareness the experience of thinking and the concept of mind. Being aware of thinking is made of Awareness, and so, belongs to Awareness Itself, and not to a self-concept.

Body is a concept. All there is to ‘body’ is the experience of the current sensation-feeling. All there is to the current sensation-feeling is the experience of sensing. What is sensing made of? It is made of awareness. I do not assume a sensation is made of something else. All there is to the experience of sensing is the direct experience of being aware; Awareness Experiencing Itself. I give back to Awareness, what rightfully belongs to Awareness. I give back to Awareness the experience of sensing & the concept of body. Being aware of sensing is made of Awareness, and so, belongs to Awareness Itself, and not to a self-concept.

World is a concept. All there is to ‘world’ is the experience of the current perception (sight-sound-taste-touch-smell). All there is to the current perception is the experience of perceiving. (seeing-hearing-tasting-touching-smelling). What is perceiving made of? It is made of awareness. I do not assume a perception is made of something else. All there is to the experience of seeing-hearing-tasting-touching-smelling is the direct experience of being aware; Awareness Experiencing Itself. I give back to Awareness, what rightfully belongs to Awareness. I give back to Awareness, the direct experience of perceiving and the concept of world. Being aware of perceiving is made of Awareness, and so, belongs to Awareness Itself, and not to a world-concept.

I give every thought-image-concept-sensation-perception back to Awareness where all experience truly belongs, and I take my rightful place, empty and complete, as Awareness Itself.

Being aware of being aware.

Re-directing Desire

Sri Vasistha, The Desire For Liberation, pg 22

Abandon your latent tendencies, even as a bird wishing to fly into the sky breaks out of its shell. Born of ignorance, these tendencies are hard to dis-identify with and destroy, and they give birth to endless sorrow. It is this ignorant self-limiting tendency of the mind that views the infinite as the finite. However, even as the sun dispels mist, inquiry into the nature of the True Self dispels this ignorant self limiting tendency. In fact, the very desire to undertake this inquiry is able to bring about a change. Austerities and other such practices are of no use in this. When the mind is purified of its past by the arising of wisdom, it abandons its previous tendencies. The mind seeks the True Self only in order to dissolve itself into the True Self. This indeed is the very nature of the mind. This is the supreme goal; strive for this.

It Takes A Thorn …

An ignorant thorn seeks for its own relief in a world of thorns.

Then suddenly a Truly Helpful Thorn arrives out of nowhere and says…

“I am not of your world.”

“Only I can help you.”

Then the Truly Helpful Thorn goes ahead and removes the ignorant thorn.

And suddenly it is seen…

There were no thorns at all.

Peace

A thing is not a thing.

It’s only ‘called’ a thing by a thought that believes it is someone.

Everyone is no-one appearing as someone

Until the recognition dawns

There is only what is apparently happening, but happening to no-one.

Nothing Being Everything, simultaneously.

A Snowflake Metaphor

There is only Water having a snowflake experience. I am Water. I may appear as something other than Water, and I may even forget that I am Water, but I can never have a “separate self” experience apart from My Water-Essence. I am always My Own One Self experiencing Myself.

One of my infinite powers is to appear as a separate snowflake to other snowflakes to demonstrate My Beauty, but I never actually ever become a “flake” separate from Water. I know that snowflakes are not made of snowflakes, they are made of Me, Water. I know that snowflakes are not something other than MySelf, I only pretend I do, by forgetting My True Nature, and limiting myself as having a different experience from my other experiences. Having different experiences is one of my Super Powers. I can name Myself something other than MySelf, but in Reality, I am One, Indivisible, Unlimited Reality. I am Water. Nameless. Colourless. Ever-Present. Empty of form, I can magically appear as a unique snowflake and localize Myself “as” that form to demonstrate My Intelligence. I am never separate from MySelf, but it is a power I can demonstrate.

Can a snowflake actually experience being a snowflake?

No. They actually never experience anything at all. It is I, Water, that experiences everything. (In this case, a snowflake experience). I am the One Reality that experiences only MySelf. There is no other Reality but My Reality. Snowflakes are known by Me, arise out of Me, are made of Me, and disappear back into me. All form disappears, but I never disappear.

I am Eternal and Limitless.

I assume Myself as anything other than Myself, veiling Myself as “something”, but never do I become a separate appearance unto itself. A snowflake can never actually become its own identity other than My True Water Identity. We are One.

Know YourSelf as Water, and enjoy your temporary experience of Me, all the while, demonstrating the Knowledge of Water as the thoughts you experience,

the Love of Water with the sensations/feelings you experience; and the Beauty of Water with the perceptions you experience.

We are Eternally and Infinitely One. Water.

Right now, in this present moment, I am grateful and humbled in my aliveness, my wakefulness. I know this wakefulness is a gift. I know this gift is ever-present and unlimited.

It is only this Pure Essence that is experienced.

It is experienced through :

1) thinking, imaging

2) sensing, feeling

3) seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching.

The Pure Essencing that I AM shines as the Light of “Understanding” to all thinking experiences (labelled “mind”.)

The Pure Essencing that I AM shines as the Light of “Love & Compassion” to all sensing/feeling experiences (labelled “body”.)

The Pure Essencing that I AM shines as the Light of “Beauty” to all sight-sound-taste-smell-textural experiences (labelled “world”.)

I am Pure Knowing Essence knowing no-thing other than MySelf. I love all of Myself. There is nothing but Myself here and now. Any known experience arises out of and is made of this Pure Knowing Reality that I Am.

I, Pure Knowing Essence, experience only MySelf, alone.

I am Self-Known.

Out of My Own experience of My Being, I birth the divine qualities of MySelf.

Perfect Peace, Perfect Love.

Powerful, Mighty, Miraculous, Fierce, Bountiful.

Eternal, Infinite, Colourless, Open, Empty, Complete, Silent, Still.

Creating, Intuiting, Acting, Birthing, Generating, Nurturing, Nourishing, Expanding, Guiding, Protecting.

Sweet, Lovely, Wise, Compassionate, Beautiful.

I AM THAT.

To Forgive A Closed Heart

May our hearts come to the deep understanding that no human collision is the cause of our fear, anger, grievance or upset; but rather, the dark echo of a closed part of our heart that we deny within ourselves, hold against ourselves, and long-hold against others, all in this Sweet Maya illusion.

Let us suffer no longer in this separation & denial.

Let us admit we are suffering from a closed heart; a broken heart. There is no shame in this. In fact, it’s the greatest loving-service we can give to ourself.

May we see that we no longer need to suffer the pain of our own closed hearts.

Let us turn away from seeking to create an open-hearted world with a closed heart.

May we recognize that the world’s suffering cannot be removed through manipulation, persuasion, force or control. In fact, all our suffering is perpetuated when attempting to seek for love, safety, security and support with a heart that is closed.

To seek for Love with a closed heart, in a world of closed hearts is futile.

We are now being called to turn around and open our Heart in Faith & Trust to our Divine Mother Who loves us Unconditionally. This is where our Open Heart lives.

Let us go to Her now, back to that Place, deep within Her Womb, and surrender our closed and grieving heart. She is the only One Who can receive it, love it, heal it, & open it. She will bring it back to Life.

Our readiness & willingness to go to Her, BE with Her, speak and listen to Her, is the Key to finding True Love & Ever-Lasting Happiness.

Giving Love with an open-heart is the only Answer to receiving open-hearted Love.

To Defend Is The 1st Act of War

If you are willing to surrender your defending attitude, which is the 1st act of war, your accuser will have nothing to use against you, and you will set yourself free from every war.

Say “thank you” to your accusers for showing you the shadow names they are calling you. This takes courage.

Your accusers are not your real enemies; your addiction to war is.

Your addiction of defending against “an accuser & his words” begins every war inside you.

Embrace these shadow names instead and forgive them.

Agree that you have exhibited the names they are calling you.

Agree with your accuser that they are right with any shadow name they are calling you.

Thank your accuser for showing you the shadow-names that you were afraid to see inside you.

Surrender your defence-strategies of denial & self-righteous pride.

Surrender your addiction to defend with a one-sided position.

Surrender your addiction to defend with an argument.

Surrender your addiction to defend with a drawn-out discussion.

Surrender your addiction to defend with an excuse.

Surrender your addiction to defend with a story.

Surrender your addiction to defend with “being right”.

Surrender your grasp on all false perceptions of separation.

Lay your game-weapons down and admit that you won’t deny any name.

Admit that you are willing to embrace any name in the book because they all have existed within you at some point.

Admit to the existence of all names in all wars, and you will remember that all wars end with you when you realize that no name defines YOU.

Remember to choose Peace and you will protect yourself from getting stuck in war.
