Prayer for Saguna Brahman

If I Am is sat and I Know is cit,

I Love I Know I Am is ananda.

I am, I know, I love I know I am—

daily prayer for Saguna Brahman.

RJ16: I Am and the Knower

Regarding this reflection of consciousness in the subtle body of the mind, I-know is the reflection of cit in satcitananda (called the knower), as I-am is the reflection of sat.

I Am and the Knower is like this main connection between electricity of satcitananda and the body-mind appliance. In other words, it's where where the real meets maya.

I Am and I Know are bus stops of meditation. Nisargadatta says relax and watch the I Am—reality is right behind it. Advaita says the same about the knower and the witness.

RJ15: 4 x 3 x 1

Thinker, knower, witness, self.

Subtle, reflected, pure, unborn.

Mind, consciousness, awareness, turiya.

RJ14: western waves of ignorance

Western scientific priests preaching consciousness is a product of evolutionary materialism without a molecule of proof are asking for your blind faith and unquestioning belief.

Consciousness is not a product of the body-mind. You cannot petition the lord with theory.

Consciousness is the sea in which western waves of ignorance appear.

Reality Jingles 13: waltzing with turiya

sun, moon, moonlight and earth.

satcitananda

witness, knower, mind and object. 

ajatavada

principle of existence, ground of consciousness, essence of bliss.

aum

RJ12: like ayam atma brahma

Atman is not reflected consciousness nor unconsciousness.

Brahman is imperceptible, unrelatable, and indescribable.

Turiyam is that intuitive unborn I-essence, like Ayam Atma Brahma.

RJ11: thunderous utterances

Sages say I am that silver screen upon which this movie is playing.

They say this movie has no beginning. Only truth reveals its end.

Naturally such revelations first appeared in the highest Himalayas. 

They call those first four thunderous utterances the Mahavakyas.

A forest of Upanishads would grow around their divine light.

Prajnanam Brahma. Tat Tvam Asi. Ayam Atma Brahma. Aham Brahma Asmi.

Reality Jingles 10: walls

Within this fortress of spacetime, reality feels like a rock hard wall.

That's not reality though. That's me slamming into the limits of duality.

Reality transcends spacetime as the sky contains and pervades the clouds.

Reality is that spaceless awareness and timeless existence seeing through my so-called walls.

RJ9: Aum

To auspiciousness of being, the principle of existence, and presence of nonduality.

To the ground of consciousness, self-awareness, and raw intelligence.

To this holistic bliss infinity that I am.

Aum

RJ8: free the intellect

Intellect is a reflection of unanalyzed raw intelligence 

as mind is a reflection of unfiltered pure consciousness.

Self-awareness frees the intellect while deconstructing egoic mind.

Reality Jingles 7: adhyaropa and apavada

The metaphysics of nonduality aren't completely logical. Duality is logical. Nonduality transcends logic. Sooner or later comes a zen slap.

Maya is the power of God, Isvara, Saguna Brahman, Brahman with attributes. All attributes are Maya. Nirguna Brahman is without attributes. 

They call this adhyaropa and apavada (superimposition and refutation). Universal metaphysics are so rendered only to be stripped away.

Reality Jingles 6: not self-realization

The metaphysics of nonduality is

not self-realization of course, 

but it's an important way to deconstruct

the western scientific materialism metaparadigm, 

and that's saying a lot.

Reality Jingles 5: the presence of nonduality

Yes, the Self is not like deep sleep. Although deep sleep is the absence of duality, it's not the presence of nonduality.

Both dualities (the waking and sleeping dream states) and the absence of duality are pervaded by that presence of nonduality.

This permeation of all three states of reflected consciousness is like the air pervading the mists of Maya. See, there's nothing but Turiya.

Reality Jingles 4: my God

The manifestation of Atman shall be my God while lucidly dreaming.

The highest nondual truth revealed in the principal Upanishads is that voice of God, Aum.

Aum is Brahma and Aum is Parabrahman. Aum is changeless. Aum.

Reality Jingles 3: that nondual presence

Consciousness is the substrate. Reflected consciousness is the superimposition.

The brain is a subtle body reflecting consciousness. The mind is reflection of consciousness.

Attention is consciousness plus thought. Most think this is pure consciousness but it's not.

Pure consciousness is that nondual presence witnessing duality and deep sleep.

Reality Jingles

1. a superimposition on reality

Both the universal and the individual are limited consciousness-existence. 

Whether your god is God, atheism, agnosticism, or quantum mechanics, it's but a superimposition on reality.

Pure consciousness pervades the universe like a mountain lake permeating numerous reflections.

2. that's samsara

This universal god is omniscient and super-intelligent. Reality is knowledge and intelligence oneself.

Human beings are divided units of universal consciousness which is paradoxical for God is indivisible.

That's samsara for you.
