On Intelligence, Intuition, and Intellect

Let’s talk about intelligence, intuition, and intellect.

Like consciousness-existence, intelligence is the nature of brahman.

Intellect is partly material. Intuition is partly light.

On the Seventh Day of a Seventh Month

Maya veils and projects. And maya reveals. Ego usurps.

Ego is the name of ignorance in the form of maya.

Feed your intellect. Listen to intuition. Aham Brahmasmi.

Advaita Talk

By playing your part, you worship its one. Saguna Braman is the one true god. Nirguna Brahman is the nondual one.

Advaita is beyond belief. Nonduality transcends all thought. Faith and its confirmation is the real thing.

The deepest you can go is consciousness-existence. Any thought is more shallow.

Mind-off is deep sleep. Mind-on is dreaming. Body-on is the waking dream.

Some say Gaudapada is Advaita cooked in Nargajuna. Some say they’re Shankara but they’re not.

Buddha and Buddhi

You can’t lose consciousness. You are consciousness.

When the mind is turned off in deep sleep, consciousness is witnessing the absence of duality.

Some sages say nirvikalpa samadhi is consciousness witnessing the presence of nonduality.

Atman is the witness consciousness and absolute self but not the doer.

The mind, intellect, memory, and ego act in concert as the doer. They call it the inner instrument.

Intuition trains the intellect but that’s as far as maya goes.

Sonnet in Satcitananda

Consciousness is not manufactured by the mind.

Dreams are manufactured by the mind.

Consciousness-existence is that in which both dreams and deep sleep are appearing.

Consciousness-existence is my nature but I do not have a name.

Self-awareness is the bliss of consciousness-existence to the power of three.

The mind waking from a dream is being mindful.

Pure consciousness seeing through all daydreaming is realization itself.

Don’t take yourself personally.

God isn’t dead but your particular concept of a god has outlived its usefulness.

The principle of existence is like fire. The mind is like on fire.

Seeing through one’s superimposition is the way.

The mind divides naturally. Use the mind carefully in these matters of the self.

All things must be deconstructed.

Effortless nondoing and intuitive nonknowing is the way of consciousness-existence.

The Ten Beginnings

The big is brahman. The big bang is maya.

Satcitananda is the foundation upon which this city of samsara has been imagined.

Maya is neither real nor unreal. Maya is both beginningless and finite.

Maya is the power of saguna brahman, Isvara, name your god.

Nirguna brahman is saguna brahman without the mindstuff.

Consciousness-existence is what I am when I’m not thinking about it.

Self-awareness is the nature of awareness. Another name for that is bliss.

From the point of view of avidya, self-awareness takes a universe of space-time.

As self awareness is the nature of awareness, enlightenment is sudden.

Realization is spontaneous. Like a dream, this never happened.

In a Nondual Point of View

Like an ocean isle, the mind only knows what the mind can know. What the mind can’t know is like the boundless seven seas.

The mind knows what’s within the boundaries of the mind. The mind cannot know the boundless consciousness in which it is appearing.

In the binary way of the mind, the mind considers itself divided from that which it cannot know.

In religion, that unknowable is called god. In scientific materialism, where that unknowable is now a theory to be proven in time, the future is god.

Separating the knowable from the unknowable is a form of ignorance in the shape of maya from the point of view of that nondual consciousness which is all-knowing and myself.

Voila I Am That

A subtle body appears in consciousness-existence, and its brilliant reflection is so profound, it appears to come alive.

In time this artificial being identifies with the body-mind so much, it believes consciousness is produced by it, and pays top dollar for anyone to prove it.

But consciousness is foundational. Existence is that supreme principle. The absolute is beyond the ken of the mind. Parabrahman is all there is. Voila! I am that.

footnotes to voila

What happens in Maya stays in Maya. Maya may be brilliant but consciousness is self-luminous. Consciousness is fire. The mind is on fire. It’s called superimposition.

Science sees through lies but it cannot see the truth. The western empire of scientific materialism is founded on the big lie—the material world produces everything including pure consciousness.

Thoughts appear in consciousness. Without existence, where would you be? The sea is beyond the point of any shoreline. Atman is Brahman. Brahman is all there be.

maya is brilliant

consciousness-existence is not a name.

consciousness-existence is nameless.

consciousness-existence is atman 

In Mutual Superimposition

As the mind permeates the sleeping dream, the dream feels real. As brahman pervades the waking dream, the dream feels even more real.

The mind infuses the sleeping mind; brahman, the waking one. Attention as if without awareness is like dreaming. Attention with awareness is like viveka.

In mutual superimposition, from the point of view of God’s own Maya, not only is imagination superimposed on reality, but reality is superimposed on imagination. And that’s why things feel so real.

Atman Reals Brahman

1. reality figures

As brahman is in everything and everything is in brahman, and atman is brahman, one’s real self is in everything and everything is in oneself.

This is the transitive property of consciousness, the paradoxical physics of reality, and the ancient math of nonduality.

Poets sing the reflection is in the water and the water is in the reflection. Sages say the world is maya. There’s only brahman. 

2. nondoing my way

Without detachmant, discipline, earnestness, and viveka, there is no way. By the way, brahmavidya, self-inquiry, and intuition is my way.

Consciousness-existence is not only ground, that rope, the substrate of all superimposition, it’s you minus what you think you are.

God minus universal consciousness equals me minus individual consciousness. That pure consciousness is Atman is Brahman.

3. your real god

Intuition is at the crossroads of atman and brahman. Intelligence is the nature of brahman and not an attribute.

Artificial intelligence is like artificial consciousness. It's unreal. As old gods fade away, new gods appear. God is not dead.

Gods may be seen through. People can be deconstructed. Find true north. Real gods lead you to reality.
