Turning on a Metaparadigm

Atman is neither the seed of consciousness as unmanifested Maya nor that god of universal omniscient consciousness called Isvara—Atman is Brahman.

Brahman both pervades and transcends this universe like ocean air does to an island atmosphere—imperceptible, unreachable, and indescribable.

Consciousness is that foundational "one self intuition essence" and not some highly refined product of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen as scientific materialism preaches without proof.

The social conditioning of scientific atheistic materialism is the greatest obstruction to self-awareness in the current western world.

That the world appears in consciousness is common experience yet we've bought this snake oil advertising—

consciousness as a product of the material world and we drink of it until it becomes our metaparadigm. Turn, turn, turn, my friend.

Versicle on Ekatma Pratyaya Saram

1. meditate on that

Self-awareness of the godhead is the arc of the universe. You're almost there.

The godhead is timelessly self-aware but space-time is what such self-awareness looks like from the point of view of maya.

Any questions concerning maya are generated within maya and have no absolute answer. Meditate on that, satcitananda.

2. mandukya abc

Nantah-prajnam, na bahis-prajnam, na ubhayatah prajnam, na prajnana ghanamna, na prajnam, na aprajnam (consciousness: not inner, nor outer, nor both, nor measurable, nor immeasurable, nor not) ~Mandukya 7a.

Adrstam, avyavaharyam, agrahyam, alaksanam, acintyam, avyapadesyam (imperceptable (unseen), unrelatable (not emperical), incomprehensible (beyond reach), uninferable (not a sign), unthinkable, indescribable (beyond words)) ~Mandukya 7b. 

Eka-atma-pratyaya-saram (one-self-intuition-essence) ~Mandukya 7c¹.

3. one intuitive i-essence

Ekatma pratyaya saram (one self-intuition-essence) is called the Fourth.

It is the one intuitive I-essence underlying our three states of ignorance (waking, dreaming, deep sleeping)

like a substrate to their superimpositions.

4. ekatma pratyaya saram

Sages say the seventh mantra of the Mandukya Upanishad is the peak of Advaita. In fact, the word, advaita, makes its first appearance there.

If not the creator, Gaudapada is the godfather of Mandukya. Tradition says he’s the guru of the guru of Shankara, Govinda. Disciple of a godlike teacher, Shukadeva son of Vyasa, Gaudapada is Paramaguru of Advaita Vedanta.

Mandukya 7 is divided into three parts. The first nullifies the microcosmic atmans of every state of consciousness (and unconsciousness). The second nullifies all macrocosmic brahmans. The third affirms Mandukya’s mahavakya—ayam atma brahma. Ekatma pratyaya saram.

Satcitananda Forever

1. Can't You See?

Duality can't be proved. Nonduality is beyond proof. Story at eleven eleven.

That which is higher proves something lower. Thus the mind can't prove itself.

Nondual awareness is the highest ground, can't you see? 

The mind is reflected consciousness and reflections are lower states by definition.

2. A Consciousness Hero

Being existence presence consciousness awareness intelligence holistic infinity bliss, oh my.

First you're conditioned by karmic DNA and then they lock you in space-time instead of it all.

Maya is beginningless and the seed of mind. Atman is not a seed of consciousness

nor omniscient consciousness. Brahman is indescribable. Ayam atma brahma is turiyam.

3. To Self-awareness

From awareness to self-awareness appears as space-time but in reality is spontaneous.

I know I am takes space and time. From a snake to a rope is a self-reflexive universe.

First principle is existence. People die for it. Ground is consciousness. Materialism be damned.

People!

Are we small appliances, electricity, or the source?

Deep sleep may be no mind but not nirvikalpa samadhi.

The seed of maya still breathes—another mini-kalpa.

Attention minus thought equals pure consciousness. 

This clarity of intellect is pure intelligence itself.
