In-dividual: in=not, dividual= divisible => cannot divide, separate (from God) -HF
We’re individual, inseparable from God. That’s our true, unique individuality.

Atman, Consciousness, worm -NM
“Consciousness(Atma) is eternal and infinite.
But it has no individuality, no personality.
It may appear as God, Brahman, or even as an insect or a worm.
The world shines in the light of Consciousness.”
~ Guru Nisaraghatta Maharaj
Move over Rupert, here’s Papaji’s Awareness -RSpira
Q. What is true awareness?
There is the awareness which is aware of objects like flowers. ●●True Awareness is the awareness which is aware of the awareness of objects. It is the undisturbed simple awareness in which things rise and fall.
There is an Awareness beyond the awareness of objects and events.
●●You are That Awareness in which the awareness of objects stays.
●●This Awareness has no name and when you try to give it a name the trouble arises. You are nameless and formless; you can’t see anything. Know “I am nameless and formless,” and that “I am aware of my own Self.” The ●●pure Consciousness will pull you back, it is not that you will enter into it.
●●When you enter into it, it is ego entering, but when It pulls you It has made the choice to take you Home. This happens somehow and we can’t know why. Very rare beings are picked up by Consciousness. ●●Once drawn in that man’s travels are over!

Who ya gonna bless? -rjs
Reading lovely words and
Saying “How beautiful!”
Doesn’t put you
Where you need to be.
Viewing your fellow man
As less than you in any way
Sells YOU short!!!
You got a new revelation
And another, and another
Now who are you going to bless?
Not instruct, not correct
Just bless?
Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence -rjs
GOD IS OMNIPRESENCE.
He, She, It is present
Everywhere.
There’s not that particular time
Or place where He is/was not.
He’s within you and
He’s everywhere you go.
GOD IS OMNIPOTENCE.
Healing happens
As we recognize
God is the only power there is
Right in the face of illusion:
No other power can threaten
Us in any way.
GOD IS OMNISCIENCE.
He, She, It knows all there is/was
To know:
I AM =
ONE =
GOD.
To the exclusion of all else.

Existence-Consciousness-Bliss -RAdams
Spiritual life means a letting go, a giving up, a release of all the things that have turned you on up till now. All the things that seem important to you, good, bad, in-between and mentally letting go. For it doesn’t matter whether you live in a palace or a hut, whether you have a million dollars or five cents, whether you’re dying of cancer or you’re healthy as a horse, it shouldn’t make any difference.
For after all to whom does this happen? Not to you, but to I. It is the I-thought that experiences all these things, you don’t. You are totally free. Yes you are. You are totally free, absolute reality. Your nature is sat-chit-ananda [existence-consciousness-bliss]. You are nirvana the ultimate oneness. There is absolutely nothing you have to do to attain this state. You don’t have to even wake up.
Many times I tell you to wake up because I’m using words. But in reality to wake up means that someone was asleep. Who is there that sleeps? Who is there that is disillusioned, ignorant? Is there one who is [really] ignorant? There is no ignorance.

REALLY OKAY TO RECOGNIZE TRUTH BEYOND OUR PRESENT GRASP
When very much younger
There were some truths knew
Were true as the day is long
However freely chose to
Tell them “Later Baby,
Got some living to do!”
But the notion never occurred
To flat-out deny spiritual Truth
And put those who chose the
Less-traveled-by Road
In a less-than courageous light.
“Knew” that Divine Truth was
A thing of infinitude
Knew approaching powerful Facts
In steps and stages until could
See the tunnel as purely illusory.
Yes part of me always knew
There was so much more
To be gleaned than
What my little mind could absorb.
Very pleased with that conviction
And realization that most probably
When deep scientific and spiritual truths
Come together harmoniously in
Human thought, my own was
Not standing in the way.

Pride is a troublesome word -rjs
PRIDE
is a troublesome word, sometimes good, usually bad. When it’s bad, it’s like a cancer eating up its victim from the inside.
.
Everything they do is marred by extreme selfishness, gross insecurity and total absence of love. They’re never able to feel satisfied as they’ve signed on to a lifelong quest of proving their superiority and are shattered every time anyone emerges with more talent in any area.
.
These victims are profoundly lonely and often terrified. They can never find contentment, happiness or abiding companionship. The world calls them winners as they bask in their short-lived hollow victories.
.
Sometimes such people channel their passions and become world leaders – usually autocrats – while others live a quiet life, much akin to a silent scream. If you or anyone you know is beset with this tormenting malady, there is hope if you want it (most don’t).
Read everything in the literature about the Oneness of God, everything you can get your hands on about “I AM” and of course whatever you can find on the topic of healing. A breathtakingly gorgeous transformation is about to take place.

Breaking the mesmerism [No good or evil: only God] -JSG
When God falls asleep, She dreams the world into existence -RSpira
As it says in the Bhagavad Gita, ‘That which is day for the many is night for the one, and that which is night for the many is day for the one.’ When mind is awake or active, consciousness is asleep to its own nature, assuming the form of the finite mind in order to manifest a part of its infinite potential, that is, to bring the world into apparent existence. When consciousness wakes up to itself and recognises its own infinite being, the mind dissolves or sleeps’, and as a result, consciousness folds the world up again within itself. There is consciousness knowing its own infinite being, or consciousness veiling itself with its own creativity and appearing as mind.
It is in this context that the world is said to be ‘the forgetting of the self’ or a dream in God’s mind’. When God falls asleep, She dreams the world into existence.
