In the one Consciousness, there can be no division. All individuality is in vain. It's as a snake mistakenly seen in the rope.
From an ignorance of the rope comes the appearance of a snake. Similarly, in pure immutable consciousness appears a phenomenal universe.
The substrate of the universe is Brahman. There's nothing other than that there. Thus, the whole universe is Brahman only.
That supreme I is one alone. Material and one of many, how can the mere physical body be the Self?
It's well-established that I is the seer and the body is the seen. Thus they say, this is mine. So how can a mere body be the Self?
That I is changeless and the body is always changing. This is visibly experienced. So how can a mere body be the Self?
Even the subtle body is made of unstable parts. It too is an object, subject to modification, limited, and unreal. So how can it be the Self?
Different from these two bodies is Atman, Purusa, Isvara, the Self of all, of all form and beyond all, that imperishable I.

The first law of realization is to turn, turn, turn.
The church of god and the church of science are the two main religions in materialism.
Ego appears in consciousness. Consciousness am I.

Have you ever noticed consciousness never grows old?
That's why they say consciousness is the youth of 10,000 summers.
Breathe out to be or not to be. Breathe in the principle of existence.

Either everything is myself or none of it. That's the nature of reflection.
All dreams are in the mind and of the mind including the waking state.
There's consciousness only no matter what you want to believe.

The Aparoksanubhuti is like a rock opera and 25-28 is one of its gospel songs.
It's like the opposite of Urge for Going which I thought about today as fall is falling down out there.
Materialism is the blues but consciousness is gospel.

Consciousness is a reflection of awareness.
Thought is an appearance in consciousness.
Belief is a form of thought.
Changeless, formless, faultless, I am truly imperishable. This is what the wise call real knowledge.
Afflictionless, reflectionless, conceptionless, I am all-pervading. This is what the wise call real knowledge.
Conditionless, actionless, endless, I am unbound. This is what the wise call real knowledge.
Immaculate, immovable, unadulterated, I am ageless and immortal. This is what the wise call real knowledge.
If the absence of duality is deep sleep, the presence of nonduality is enlightenment.
Identifying with the body-mind is beginningless but peaks in neverending adolescence.
I minus original ignorance equals that minus conditional illusion. Tattvamasi speaks.

Pure Consciousness not only witnesses the duality of the dreaming states but the absence of duality in the deep sleep state.
There's a time for thinking you're the body-mind and a time for healing; there's a time for believing in a Santa Claus and a time for revelation.
~rj18
The light of Atman illumines all. And unlike with the light of a fire or flashlight, that Self sees both the presence and absence of light.
Because of beginningless ignorance, people think they are the body-mind. It's like the maker mistaking they're the pot.
I am Brahman alone, the self-contained, calm sea of satcitananda. I am not an unreal waveform. This is what the wise call real knowledge.
You are not the body, the mind, knower, nor witness.
The knower is the way to the witness
but nothing was ever born to be witnessed
according to Gaudapada and I agree.

Atman is without parts, one.
The body has many many parts.
Yet you see these two as one!
What lunacy is greater than this?
19.
Atman is pure consciousness.
The body is a mess of flesh and bone.
Yet you see these two as one!
What lunacy is greater than this?
20.
Atman is the absolute illuminator.
The body is dark and inert.
Yet you see these two as one!
What lunacy is greater than this?
21.
Atman is that timeless principle of existence.
The body is constantly changing so it never actually exists.
Yet you see these two as one!
What lunacy is greater than this?
Overture.
Atman is without parts, one.
Atman is pure consciousness.
Atman is the absolute illuminator.
Atman is that timeless principle of existence.
