Yes existence but not material -JSG

Joel Solomon Goldsmith

HERE IT IS !! . Joel is explaining how it is that everything does have existence – just not the way we sometimes perceive it!

Through false education, which constitutes finite sense, we have come to fear certain individuals, things, and conditions, not realizing that ●●as these are coming to us through the avenue of consciousness they are all God-being, Consciousness-appearing, Spirit-substance.● Material consciousness is the false finite sense which beholds the universe and man as limited, as being both good and evil. Spiritual consciousness is the awareness of the individual as God-being, as having only the mind of God and the body of Spirit. It recognizes the entire universe as mind-appearing and governed by divine Principle. Spiritual consciousness is the ability to see beyond the appearance to reality. It is the recognition and realization that as God is our mind, all that appears to us is in and of God which is our only consciousness. Spiritual consciousness does not overcome or destroy matter or material conditions, but knows that no such conditions exist which finite sense presents. It translates the appearance for us, revealing the true nature of that which is appearing.

The Voice you hear -rjs

Robin Starbuck

T H A T . V O I C E
That you hear in your spirit
When you desire to listen,
The “Voice” of God,
is always talking to you
In just the right tonality
Within your soul.

You can silently hear
T H A T . V O I C E
And know beyond all
Shadow of doubt,
As the Balm of Gilead,
God is speaking to you
In you and as you.

T H A T . V O I C E
Guiding, loving, clarifying
Breathing, speaking, ever
Waiting for your perfect
Readiness, – receiving,
Drawing fully from the
Wellspring of your Soul.

Still vacillating? -rjs

Robin Starbuck

S T I L L . V A C I L L A T I N G
Between perfect listening
And all the noise of people,
Politics, society, deadlines.
Dis-ease, fear, pain, death?

THERE’S A BETTER WAY!
Quit your mind altogether!
“Think with your heart.”
Not the blood-pumping organ:
Be in your Soul, Spirit, God.

You’ll no longer have to strive
To eliminate errors of thinking,
Feeling, acting, lulling to sleep,
Dastardly, hypnotic, hate-filled
Mesmeric meanderings from…

“Matter as such does not exist,”
Quantum physics laboriously
Proved repeatedly. But the whole
World scurries around to learn
All it can about “That which isn’t”!

There’s nothing to let go of -RAdams

Adams, Robert

“Why not understand your divinity right now and accept it. It’s not hard to do. Remember, there’s nothing to let go of. You do not have to affirm yourself to death, saying things like, ‘I let go now of all of my fears, all my sorrows.’ There are no fears and no sorrows to let go of. There never were any like that. They do not exist. Try to remember there’s absolutely nothing to let go of.

There’s only to be. In other words, you do not have to redeem yourself. You do not have to pray to an anthropomorphic deity up in the sky somewhere. There’s nothing you have to do, for you are already that. You have always been that, and you’re that right now; beautiful, happy, joyous, fulfilled, complete, absolute. It’s wonderful. “

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Individual = basic error – Jean Klein

Jean Klein

“Seeing ourselves as an autonomous entity, an individual, is the basic error of our conditioning. This fractional viewpoint makes understanding an impossibility. It is a fictitious concept, totally lacking in substance and independence, just like the images that appear in dreams.
Everything we do on the level of the concept “me”, any action influenced by the concept of the individual ‘I’, trap us in a vicious circle.
Pure spontaneous action, free from choosing, is the action of infinite consciousness. When the action occurs spontaneously, it is entirely free of the opposing force that any form of choice implies.
In truly creative moments, everything takes place without an ‘I’ interfering. Things occur of their own accord, such action is total action.
In this way agitation ceases and the dynamism in it dies away into the observer, the ‘I’ that contains all.
Once we arrive at this clear-sighted vision, nothing appears to be more obvious than the ultimate reality of unlimited consciousness.”

~ Jean Klein

When the mind is free from all accumulations -JK

Krishnamurti, Jiddu

Life is a process of challenge and response, and whenever the response is inadequate, there is conflict; and the inadequacy of the response can be removed only through understanding the process of relationship. And as we understand more and more the process of relationship, which is the process of myself in action, there is a possibility of the mind being still. A mind that is not still—whether it is pursuing knowledge or greed or becoming something now or in the hereafter—such a mind is incapable, obviously, of discovering because there must be freedom to discover. And as long as the mind is trying to be something, there can be no discovery. It is only in freedom that there can be discovery, and freedom is virtue, because virtue gives freedom. But, to strive to be virtuous is not freedom; it is another form of becoming, which is self-expansion.

So, virtue is the denial of becoming, and that denial takes place only with the understanding of what is. And when there is this radical transformation through self-knowledge, then there is a possibility of creative living. For, truth is not something to be achieved; it is not an end; it is not something to be gained. It comes into being from moment to moment. It is not a result of accumulated, stored-up knowledge, which is merely memory, conditioning, experience. But truth comes into being from moment to moment when the mind is capable of being free from all accumulations. For, the accumulator is the self—the self that gathers in order to assert, to dominate, to expand, to self-fulfill. Only with the freedom of the self does truth come into being—not as a continuous process, but to be discovered from moment to moment. Therefore, to discover, the mind must be fresh, alert, and still.

Rays of the Absolute / Nisargadatta Maharaj

Nisargadatta Maharaj

“The ‘I am’ is the sum total of everything you perceive.

It appears spontaneously and disappears, it has no dwelling place.
It is like a dream world.

Do not try to be something,
even a spiritual person.

You are the manifested.
The tree is already there in the seed.
Such is the ‘I am’.

Just see it as it is.”

~ Guru Nisargadatta Maharaj

The question of what one is comes only in manifestation,
in comparison with other phenomenon.
In my state there is no phenomenon;
my existence is prior to any manifestation.
There is no question of who or what I am.

~ Nisargadatta
