Atman is neither seed nor god, sprout nor sunshine, in-between nor nothing at all.
Brahman is nonconceptual and nameless, non-dimensional and formless, causeless and sublime.
Gaudapada says Turiyam is that I transcending every state I am. Ayam Atma Brahma.
Individual being is an attribute of Saguna Brahman. Nirguna Brahman is the principle of existence without attributes. Turiya equals Ayam Atma Brahma.
All individual beings are enlightened. Individuality isn't reality. Individuality is ignorance. Nescience is the seed of our reflected consciousness.
The universe is mahamaya. Maya is the power of omniscient consciousness. The ground of consciousness is even witnessing deep sleep.
Duality is violent. War is inevitable. The gods shall take sides. Frodo lives. Gaudapada is unborn. There is no resurrection. Nothing really dies.
1. measuring half moon lake
The senses are like measuring devices. Of the many dimensions to be measured in this multiverse, five are measured by the human body-mind. 9995 dimensions are not.
Measure all the reflections in consciousness you need to measure. I summered on the shores of Half Moon Lake and found that any reflection in the water was ultimately water no matter how I tried to look at it.
2. three points of view
There are three points of view in our power of three: individual, universal, absolute. Every individual is a part of a universe. Everyone worships a god even if they think they don't.
The absolute is the godhead in which all the gods appear. Birthless existence, changeless consciousness, peaceful nonduality. Ayam Atma Brahma.
The snake of misery is superimposed on the bliss of rope even though there's only the thread of satcitananda and the serpent of samsara is a figment of imagination.
Gaudapada isn't arguing philosophy as much as deconstructing childish mind games.
There are not four states of consciousness but three states of reflected consciousness and the fourth is nondual.
As the reflection of awareness is self-aware and beginningless maya ends, space-time itself becomes obsolete.
Unpretentiousness, equanimity, and improvisation is the tao of advaita.
Turiya is both Atman and Brahman because aja.
Dreams appear in sleep. Fantasies appear in maya.
Being in maya but not of maya is a little like lucid dreaming.
Me and my gods are now appearing on that silver screen of atman.
That witness consciousness really knows what's what and what isn't.
Ayam atma brahma is that mahavakya of turiya.
My dreams require the energy of sleep. My life requires the energy of maya.
Where the mind projects a phenomenal world, no-mind sees atman.
There are three states of sleeping, two states of dreaming,
and one state of self-awareness. Turiya is not a state.
All states appear and disappear in turiya. The universe is binary. Turiya is nondual.
The mind divides. Consciousness unites. Self-awareness deconstructs.
Gaudapada was never born.
The universe is binary. Turiya is nondual.
The mind divides. Consciousness unites.
Self-awareness deconstructs. Gaudapada was never born.
Ayam atma brahma is that mahavakya of turiya.
My dreams require the energy of sleep. My life requires the energy of maya.
Where the mind projects a phenomenal world, no-mind sees atman.
Turiya is both Atman and Brahman because aja.
Dreams appear in sleep. Fantasies appear in maya.
Being in maya but not of maya is a little like lucid dreaming.
Me and my gods and goddesses are now appearing on that silver screen of atman.
That witness consciousness really knows what's what and what isn't.
Gaudapada is pure perennial wisdom peppered with an annual or two.
Gaudapada's Karika is to Ashtavakra Gita as dancing is to song.
Gaudapada is to Jesus of Nazareth as Shankara is to Saint Paul.
~Aum
Ordinary deep sleep is a temporary absence of duality. Amani-bhava is the timeless presence of nonduality.
No-mind is a bold mind. A bold mind is Brahman. Neti, neti, neti, neti, neti. Jnana.
Not within, not without. If dhi is Sanskrit for intellect, samadhi is a Self-possessed intellect.
Enlightenment is beyond the social contract. No superego, no ego, no id.
Gaudapada says there are two states of sleeping. Deep sleep and dreaming. And two states of dreaming. The dream state and waking state.
As one mind appears to be countless dream states, one self appears to be eight billion and counting.
Doing and not doing are doings of the mind. Nondoing is beyond the mind. The mind ceases to be the mind upon realization. No mind, no cry.
Atman is birthless and free. Ayam atma brahma. That highest knowledge is free of name, form, and function. Birthlessly.
Existence passes into birth only through Maya and not really.
Believing things were born in such a way, they’ll be born ad infinitum.
The non-existent can’t be born the so-called real way or via Maya.
The child of an infertile woman isn’t born one way or the other.
Existence is that in which this thought appears.
Ego is this in which memories appear.
Disbelieve everything but existence-consciousness.
One should never disbelieve oneself.
Scientific materialism is old-time nihilism.
Wave-particle duality is its antichrist.
Scientific materialism doesn’t know if the chicken or the egg came first.
Silly rabbit, maya is beginningless.
Existence is that in which this thought appears. Ego is this in which memories appear
Disbelieve everything but existence-consciousness. One should never disbelieve yourself.
Scientific materialism is just old-time nihilism. Wave-particle duality is its new antichrist.
Dreams are dreamt by the power of the mind's imagination. If dreams feel real, then what is being awake?
People are born into a world of duality. No binary system is perfect.
Satcitananda is beyond DNA transcendentally speaking. What is seen is appearing in the seer.
In Maya, there are Saguna Brahmans and Nirguna Brahman, but absolutely speaking, Brahman is nameless and formess.
ayam atma brahma
If Shankara is like Saint Paul, Gaudapada is Jesus of Nazareth.
The Epistles are like Bhashyas. The Karikas are like red-letter Gospels. The Mandukya Upanishad is the prophet of old.
The waking state is the third state of sleeping and the second state of dreaming. The fourth is not a state but Turiya (ayam atma brahma) in which sleeping and dreaming appear. Om.
Which was first—this reflection or the mirror? Neither inner nor outer nor altered in any way be.
Dreams dream. That’s what we do. It’s not about the dream as it is the dreaming. That's our first clue.
We are imagination nation. What I dream is just another dream in you. That I dream is the point. Is it not, you?.
Negative capability is real power. Like effortless nondoing.
Let self-remembering be the front line of your mind control.
The Big Bang is an appearance in Supreme Silence.
Mithya appears in satcitananda. Ayam atma brahma.
Dreams are manufactured in the mind by the power of sleep. Me and god appear in consciousness by the power of maya.
When the mind forgets, memory remembers. Consciousness is timeless. Maya is only beginningless.
Duality isn’t. Nonduality is. There is no me but everything is myself.
1. the current dream
The waking state is just the current dream. Between each dream is a deep sleep.
Every dream thinks it's the current dream within parameters of its dreaming.
All dreams appear in turiya. Before realization, maya. After realization, maya. Chop wood, carry water.
2. follow the consciousness
A dream is an appearance in the mind. The mind is an appearance in consciousness.
Consciousness is beyond the mind. Thinking otherwise is the definition of infinite regression.
Reflected consciousness consists of space, time, and consciousness. Follow the consciousness.
3. a most sacred math
Consciousness is the middle name of satcitananda. Existence, consciousness, and bliss are nondual.
Ignorance is the key to samsara. All keys are double-edged swords, my brothers and sisters.
I Minus Avidya Is That Minus Maya. This is a most sacred math. Use with caution.
There are three states of everyday consciousness. There are many states of altered consciousness but they're not everyday. Such states of altered consciousness are more like holy days.
Beneath these three states is the ground. This ground is called the fourth from the point of view of the everyday. From the point of view of the Holy Mandukya, that ground is I.
If God is reflected consciouness, Maya is its mirror. Pure consciousness is not a mirror. Witness consciousness is like a movie screen. A mirror is appearing on that silver screen. How marvelous!
