Help me! We = One -rjs

Robin Starbuck

HELP ME !!!
Sure, “I” can help “you”
If that’s what you need.
You be “you” and I’ll be “I”
And I’ll talk to you and
You’ll heed My voice.

But soon’s you’re ready
Let’s get Us back to pure
Undiminished reality
Where there are no longer
Two of us talking and
Listening and heeding
Ofttimes missing the mark.

We’ll try another mindset:
What exactly is God?
All-presence, All-power,
Everywhere at once. All.
Spirit, Substance, Mind,
Principle, Soul, Love, Life.

When You truly put Me first
That frightening possibility
You might go off again and
Imagine your worldly whims
Will be nourished, satiated,
Collapse, spent and lost …

No longer looms large
On the horizon of your hope.
Who then were you listening
To and why are you scattered?
The “I” that you wanted to pray
To is the “I” of you and all Life.

So, instead of “help me”, we
Must assume the royal “We”
And know that we know – until
We know … that We are One.

Complete Surrender, then Awaken -RAdams

Adams, Robert

Awakening is a Direct Experience.
An ‘Instant Experience’. It happens.

But prior to Awakening,
Comes a Complete Surrender.

Not ‘visions’ – Not ‘spiritual experiences’, but a total and complete surrender to The Self!

When I say IT’s a ‘Complete Surrender’, it’s exactly what I mean.

You Surrender your entire life!

This means:
All your problems, All the things you think are bothering you.

All the good things,
All the bad things; Everything is Totally Surrendered to The Self.

And – as you’re doing this,
You automatically become Compassionate, and have a tremendous amount of Humility, transpiring within yourself.

These are the three things that happen to you, prior to awakening:

There is a Total Surrender to God. Not certain things.

I know some of you like to surrender the bad things. Forget about that!

You just Surrender.
Totally and Completely!

The bad and good things, are all part of the ‘relative world’. And the whole relative world has to be Totally and Completely surrendered;
… Totally given up!

Then a Great Compassion, and a Great Humility, will come by ITSelf.

You see, we’re not trying to ‘do’ these things -‘physically’. We just let ourselves fall into The Space, where all these things happen by themselves.

And this comes from ‘sitting in The Silence’.

You see how all these things, are connected to each other.

As you sit in The Silence
Without desire,
Without want,
Without trying to change bad for good.

All of a sudden, you will feel yourself Surrendering.

Surrendering all of your ego:
The body-mind surrenders.
Everything lets go!

And you become The Epitome Of Compassion. A Tremendous Humility wells up within you.

When you can feel these things.
The next step – is to Awaken Totally!

O lofty Teacher -rjs

Robin Starbuck

O lofty Teacher
Canst thou step aside
Allow every One
The sheer joy of
sublime discovery?

O must you seize
Another’s Moment of
Rapturous delight,
Claiming,
I aloft, you below?

No! No! No!
YOU err, my child,
Humility in impartation is
Your Teacher, your
Moment, your epiphany!

Watch her glow now
In radiant Light
Emitting not from you
But directly from
HER precious Self!

Jim Newman EMPTINESS
CLEAR, COMPLETE, CONVINCING
The individual is convinced that there’s something that needs to be gotten and somewhere that they need to go. This is just not true.

This is the end of experiencing.

The individual can’t know or find out anything about what is real.

Don’t think of a pink elephant to show that you are in control! That’s how much control the individual has.

Built into the body’s mechanism is the need for survival. It will do anything it can to survive and it will seek out good experiences and tried to avoid bed experiences.

The end of the individual is the absolute opposite of detachment. There’s no longer a separation between what appears and the individual. So if there’s anger, happiness joy whatever that’s what is. That’s all that is.

Religious teachings come from the belief that what tortures the individual is thoughts and feelings. You can detached from them and then you can realize that you have never had a thought!

Are you rejecting physics altogether? No but it’s just information. But it’s fun! Yes yes it is but it’s just information. In terms of technology there are quantum something… apparently yes apparently. When there’s no longer an individual it is obvious that an appearance is not anything. Because it’s matter. Nothing nothing! And this is nothing mattering!

Be out of your mind -RAdams

Adams, Robert

“Those of us who have been studying Advaita Vedanta, the non-duality concepts, have come across the one principle of Advaita and remember it intellectually. The one principle being, ‘Everything is Brahman. The whole universe is Brahman. Only Brahman exists and this world that appears to you is a hallucination.’ You’re hallucinating by believing the world is real. Non-dualists understand this, they realize this.

And yet some people have a hard time in grasping the truth of this, what this really means. Brahman cannot be explained. It is beyond words and thoughts, there is no valid explanation for Brahman. You can only know Brahman when you leave your senses behind. When you go out of your mind. This is the only time when you will know Brahman.

So when somebody tells you you’re out of your mind say, ‘Thank you.’ It’s a compliment. You want to be out of your mind. It’s no fun being in your mind. For in your mind you relate to the world. You relate to person, place and thing. So you want to be out of the mind, totally out of the mind. “

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

That sticky question – Group help

Robin Starbuck

This is a wonderful group to be in, very supportive, sensitive and well-informed. To tell the truth the question I raised here has been dogging me for awhile. I’ve been following Rupert for quite a few years now and find his teaching most illuminating. I’ve noticed over the years his gradual leaning toward the Absolute as in absolute emptiness, absolute absence, absolute nothingness and absolute allness – the antipode of separation – all areas that have had my full attention for quite some time as well. Tony Parsons and Jim Newman go to great lengths to spell out that any concession to two-ness, as in teacher-student, existence-nonexistence, I-you-we-me-etc, time, space, matter, body, etc, is absolutely impossible. Thanks to you four respondents, I’ve found peace that harkens back to my former #1 interest: healing. The takeaway I’d like to share with you – coming from you – is when in doubt, start with the answer. Absolute anything is nothing short of 100%. Functioning in this world, however long, calls for temporary expedients. DrRobinStarbuck

The Perfect Answer! Conflict ceases to arise.

Answered Prayer!, Awakening, Be still, De-hypnotize, Direct or Progressive paths, Non-duality

Were lies the conflict for “you”? “I” makes out/is the energy that continues/is continued in the search for the difference. The happening of searching belongs/is “I”…

When energetical position (“I”) is no longer happening, no such question arraises. Without that energetical position that makes the “i” no thing matters…
