NO UTTERANCE IS EVER TRUTH.
A GOOD “PROVISIONAL DEFINITION” OF CONSCIOUSNESS:
- Consciousness is that in which all experience appears.
- Consciousness is that with which all experience is known.
- Consciousness is that out of which all experience is made.
You are beyond everything. Yet you are everything -RAdams
You have to dive deep, deep, deep within yourself, deeper than you can ever imagine. And the only way you can do this is by giving up the external world, mentally, not physically. In other words, by not reacting to things. To observe things, watch the world go by, leave it alone. It’s neither good nor bad.
It has nothing to offer you. Yet at the same time you’ll be doing what you have to do, what you came here to do. If you’re supposed to work, you will work. If you’re not supposed to work, you’ll not work. If you’re supposed to be married, you’ll be married. If you’re supposed not to be married, you’ll not be married.
Everything will happen by itself. Yet you will know within yourself, that this is not you. The situation is not you. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. You are beyond conditioning, beyond situations, beyond experience, beyond everything. Yet you are everything also.

God alone is the Doer
“When [the mind] becomes pure, one … realizes: “God alone is the Doer, and I am His instrument.”
~ Ramakrishna
“So long as the sense of being the doer remains, desire does also. Therefore the ego remains. But once this goes the Self shines forth in its purity. The sense of being the doer is the bondage, not the actions themselves.”
~ Ramana Maharshi
“When you realize you’re not the doer everything gets done in a better way, for you stop identifying with the object and the subject. You become free of all attachments. As long as you believe that you’re responsible for anything that takes place in this world, you have a problem. You will have to go through that experience over and over and over again, until you realize that you have absolutely nothing to do with anything. You are pure consciousness. Your real Self is absolute reality. I tell you, you have nothing to do with this world.”
~ Robert Adams
“Carry out all the activities in the objective world, but do not claim authorship for what is being done. As you begin to realize that all the activities are happening through you and that you are not doing anything, then gradually all your desires like the attachment for husband or wife, or greed for money, etc. will dwindle. All of that will go away once the sense of ‘doership’ disappears, because at that stage there will be no personality left to take credit for anything.”
~ Nisargadatta
“You choose a course of action for the future and assume that it is you who are doing the choosing. Actually, it is the Supreme Power that is giving you the strength to choose. Don’t be foolish and think that it is you who are doing the choosing. That power is there all the time, making you do all the things that you do. Instead of trying to organise your future, look at the source of that power and be aware of how it does everything. It makes the body move; it makes the mind move. All the things that you imagine you do by yourself are done by this Supreme Power.”
~ H.W.L. Poonja, “Papaji”
“The illumined soul
Whose heart is Brahman’s heart
Thinks always: ‘I am doing nothing,’
No matter what he sees,
Hears, touches, smells, eats.”
~ Bhagavad Gita

You are pure awareness -Gita
Doership
You are not your body. Your body is not you. You are not the doer. You are not the enjoyer. You are pure awareness, the witness of all things. You are without expectation, free. Wherever you go, be happy! Desire and aversion are of the mind. The mind is never yours. You are free of its turmoil. You are awareness itself, never changing. Wherever you go, be happy. For see! The Self is in all beings, and all beings are in the Self. Know you are free, free of ‘I,’ free of ‘mine.’ Be happy.
Ashtavakra Gita
No subject and object -rjs
N O . D U A L I T Y
When we come to grips with this life-changing reality, everything starts to come together seamlessly. All separation disintegrates as we see unity everywhere, in everything and everyone around the world, past, present and future. Gary Renard has much to say about this in his best-seller “The Disappearance of the Universe.”
“There isn’t really any such thing as a subject and an object, there is only oneness. Still unknown to you is that this is an imitation of genuine oneness, for few have learned to make the distinction between being one with the mind that has seemingly separated itself from God, and being one with God. The mind must be returned to Him. 4 Yet traditional non-dualism is a necessary step along the way, for you have learned you can’t really separate one thing from anything else —nor can you separate anything from you. As hinted at earlier, this idea is well expressed by the models of quantum physics. Newtonian physics held that objects were real and outside of you with a separate existence. Quantum physics demonstrates that this is not true. The universe is not what you assume it to be; everything that appears to exist is really inseparable thought. You can’t even observe something without causing a change in it on the sub-atomic level. Everything is in your mind, including your own body. As aspects of Buddhism correctly teach, the mind that is thinking everything is one mind, and this mind is completely outside the illusion of time and space.”

Is Spirit getting c O m P l i C a T e D? -rjs

Has Awakening to Full Spirituality
become rather cOmPliCaTeD Lately?
Let’s see now: There’s reading and
Listening and communing and
Praying and Meditating and Stillness…
JUST NOW I heard the Holy Spirit say
in my spirit: Do one thing only and
you’ll have all the others covered.
But It didn’t say what that was, only
that that’s what I was doing.
So let’s retrace my steps … back …
back … back … Oh, yes, “I heard”.
I must have been … LISTENING !

I don’t even exist in an individual way on any level -rjs
N O T . S E P A R A T E D . F R O M . G O D
No, we don’t have a separate spirit or life from God. There isn’t any! When we really see this glorious fact, we’ll burst wide open, never again thinking that “within” signified, in some magical way, “inside a body”. There simply isn’t one, even as an analogy! Gary Renard brilliantly cautions:
“It doesn’t do you much good to know you’re not here if you don’t have the whole picture. Sure, it’s a step in the right direction, but the kind of thing I’m speaking of right now is not just that I’m not here, but that I don’t even exist in an individual way —not on any level. There is no separated or individual soul. There is no Atman, as the Hindus call it, except as a mis-thought in the mind. There is only God.”

Spiritual healing ability -rjs
T H E . H A R D E S T . P A R T
The hardest part of developing spiritual healing ability is learning to completely let go of all contrary arguments to the absolute Truth of the Allness of God.
It is most empowering to take a single absolute Truth and go very deeply into it. Be sure to make it very personal … until you actually realize that there is no person at all. You can’t just flippantly make a declaration and expect the utterance of words to have healing power.
It’s easier than that! Uttering a quasi-religious word again and again will only end in disappointment; but understanding and experiencing God’s omnipresent Allness brings amazing results.

Everything that is a rising is wholeness [Could that be a very correct definition of God?] What you’re all chasing is THIS !!! There’s no time nor space. What you are seeing now – me talking to you – is an appearance, therefore unreal. When a person is dying or when They do pass on there is an awareness sometimes that there never was anything to die that there never was anything there at all. After death there is just wholeness And realization And freedom.
. . . . It’s all complete nonsense arising in the story of me.
A woman raised the question of what to do when a bed memory keeps reoccurring and she can’t seem to get it to stop. Tony says when the me disappears all you have left is everything that there is. Nothing has any meaning or purpose whatsoever. [Could this be The solution to all recurring unpleasant thoughts and memories? I certainly think so]
No i don’t function in the world: FUNCTIONING HAPPENS !!
It’s the perfect lover. It’s never gone. It’s always there. When you switch off the switch it’s still there!
People are rushing around! People are building churches! People are going to war! All this in hopes of attaining exactly THIS !!!
