Moment no longer think body …!

Non-duality

The moment you no longer believe
you are the body and mind, the energy
used up in this error will be freed. Leave
the mind and body free to be what they
are and you will no longer be their slave.
They are only fragments of the whole
which you are. Simply take note of
your imperfections and this awareness
will take care of them. Once you
understand that you are not the body
and the mind, you can then accept
whatever happens. Understanding
your fundamental autonomy
brings you to an attitude
of total acceptance.

Start & finish day w inquiry -RAdams

Adams, Robert

“Think of the experiences you’ve been having in your life from the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you go to sleep at night. What goes through your mind? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you believe in? What is happening to you everyday?

The worst thing you can do in the morning is turn on the TV and read the newspaper. That is the worst thing you can do.

The best thing you can do in the morning when you wake up is to ask yourself, ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What am I doing here?’

The worst thing you can do at night before you go to sleep is to think about your job or your family or your finances or your sicknesses or … all the other things that have been going on in your life.

The best thing you can do before you go to sleep … is to inquire, ‘To whom do these activities come? To whom has the days activities come? Who has experienced these days activities.’ “

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Away from suffering -Mooji

Mooji

Identification with this ‘I’ [with an identity]
is the root of suffering. When you have a
preference for a certain kind of experience,
you suffer. When you have a preference for
who you should learn from, you suffer.
When you are constantly interpreting how
things are or how they should be, what you
deserve and what you do not deserve, you
suffer. Wherever there is pride, attachment,
judgement and desire, there is suffering.
When we awaken from ignorance into
our true nature, suffering is absent.

Wandered off? Pondering? -rjs

Robin Starbuck

Have you wandered off
Just a little bit
And felt like nothing is
Or ever was
Quite right?

Who are you to think
That in a flash
You could be right back on target?
You could turn – not so much away
From loveless, lifeless darkness
You could, right this very instant, turn
To the Light.

Now everything”s become
Unspeakably beautiful
Full of love and joy
And unending recognition
Of who it is
That you are!

~ Robin Starbuck, 2018

When we ponder the world and all its
Titillating eccentricities, replete with heartache and pain
Wonndering what Spirit must be like…
Immortal Milton depicted it as a great white light – could it really inspire such abject boredom?
It behooves us to pass “Go” and head directly for The Fourth Dimension itself.
When? Where? How?
Now. Here. Focus.
It’s hard to imagine in our puny pea-brains
Just how exquisite, wonderful, delicious, thrilling, altogether lovely and loving
This realm of spiritual sublimity really is.
But how can we know with those tiny fallible minds of ours?
We Can Not.
Therein lies the key: the realm of pure Spirit is entirely spiritual.
And the onus is upon us to adjust our receptors to make way for a whole new way of perceiving.

~ Robin Starbuck, 2018

Your mind lies to you -RAdams

Adams, Robert

“You should not believe a word I’m saying to you. Find out for yourself. You are the one with the answers, yet you keep reacting to life outside of yourself. You keep allowing the world to show you how you should feel. If the world shows you something nice and good you become happy.

If it shows you something that is not nice or good you become miserable. Depending on your upbringing, what you believe is good, what you believe is bad. … Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so. It is your mind that dictates to you and tells you that this is good or this is bad.

It is your mind that tells you that this is right and this is wrong. Where did you mind get this knowledge? From experience. But is experience the truth? No. The experience is not the truth, it’s just your training, how you grew up.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Your deeper journey -rjs

Robin Starbuck

As you go infinitely deeper on your spiritual path you’ll find yourself less and less interested in grabbing popularity from every available avenue. You’d rather be a bright light for those who are becoming more fully aware of their seemingly new dimension of discovery. DrRobinStarbuck

Physical pain and emotional counterpart -RSpira

Rupert Spira
YES THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEEP-SEATED, LONG TERM PHYSICAL PAIN AND OTHER MINOR PAINS. IT COULD BE A CHRONIC EMOTIONAL STATE WHICH YOU MAY NEED TO ALLEVIATE AS YOU DISCOVER WHAT’S BEHIND IT.

“In being aware of being aware, there is no room for a separate self. There is just eternal, infinite awareness, resting in and as its own inherently peaceful, unconditionally fulfilled being…knowing, being and loving itself alone.”

  • Rupert Spira, “Being Aware of Being Aware”
