Not a Haiku, Part 2

Absolute consciousness is a myth.

Universal consciousness is a fact.

Individual consciousness is a fiction.

Myth Is, Is Myth

Myth is like that proverbial sculpture. Myth is the aftermath of deconstruction. Myth is the manifestation of negative capability. Myth is dream minus belief, myth is lucid dreaming.

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water is myth. Don’t throw out satcitananda with the neti neti is myth. Don’t mistake atheistic materialistic nihilism for perennial nonduality is myth.

Myth is in samsara but not of samsara. Myth is all the stage and myth is all the players in the play. Myth is the skeleton of consciousness and the heart of self-awareness. Myth is, is myth.

Not a Haiku

Self-awareness is happening.

Awareness? It never happened.

Brahman is not atman.

Nirvana Deconstructing

So there’s the prana force of universal consciousness, the body-mind transistor it creates, and the prajna self-awareness it is amplifying.

Self-awareness is not creation. Prajna consciousness is ever latent in prana consciousness. The body-mind is used to turn it up.

Prana consciousness identifying with its instrument is the necessary feedback loop in this process. There’s nothing wrong with samsara.

Thinking there’s something wrong with samsara ~is~ samsara. Knowing there's nothing wrong with samsara is nirvana deconstructing.

The Life and Times of Mahamaya

There’s nothing wrong with the world. The world is perfect as it is. You cannot make a better world!

As one comes to nirvana through samsara, one comes to self-awareness through deconstructing the world.

Universal consciousness is the ground of individual consciousness, and that which sees

through individual consciousness is universal consciousness, the mahamaya.

There’s no going beyond the mahamaya. The mahamaya sees through all.

Mahamaya waits for brahman like the one beloved. Brahman whispers in my ear, mahamaya is brahman.

Cut to Dissolve

Individual consciousness is to be deconstructed. Universal consciousness is to be. Absolute consciousness is beyond.

Individual consciousness is a fiction of the mind. Universal consciousness is the dream of maya. Absolute consciousness is beyond.

The mind divides the universe into separate objects. This is fine. The mind identifies with a single object. This is problematic.

Division, identification, suffering, and deconstruction: the four directions of self-awareness. And in self-awareness, the self awaits awareness, to dissolve itself.

Thatever

Manifestation is nothing but the process of self-awareness resting in the pink noise of I am. The world is not broken. Consciousness is broken. The world is consciousness in pieces. What is intelligence without thought? What is being without dreaming? What is one without two? Who am I?

A Natural Fact

Although it's a natural fact the mind can't go beyond manifestation and contact that which is beyond, a quiet mind may be contacted by that great beyond. The lesser cannot know the greater. The greater knows the lesser. For the lesser is the greater.

A Big Fat Story

Atman is the expression of Brahman. Consciousness is the formulation of awareness. The lower layer, universal consciousness is like high octane formula 1. Individual consciousness is like leaded gasoline. Love that dirty water, but pure awareness is my home.

Four Way Way

This is not that. That’s why not this, not this, is a way to that.

Not this, not this, is the way of deconstruction.

The way of the paramahavakyas is: to be is that, this is that, all is that, i am that.

Personal deconstruction often ends in nihilism, yes. Religious atheism or scientific materialism.

This is why the way of the navnath prescribes a steady diet of i-am while deconstructing one’s not two.

Viveka, jnana, and tantra, oh my! Don’t forget bhakta sings my beloved.

footnotes

There are no words for truth. Even satcitananda doesn’t describe the truth. Satcitananda describes the manifestation of the truth.

The lower layer, satcitananda doesn’t exactly describe the positive aspects of manifestation but instead describes the negative capability of manifestation.

Satcitananda signifies that which is not nonintelligent, not nonexistent, and not not blissfully holistic.

Let’s call the four classical mahavakyas the paramahavakyas. Let’s transcreate prjnanam brahma as: to be is that.

Tattvamasi: thou this is that. Ayam atma brahma: this all is that. Aham brahma asmi: I am that.

To be is that, thou this is that, this all is that, for I am that

The paramahavakyas are considered divine revelation. These great sayings are not negative. But neither are they positive. They are beyond all duality.

The upanishads do not contain the paramahavakyas. The paramahavakyas manifest the upanishads.

Medituitrevel

Revelation, the satguru disclosing truth to the mind. Revelation.

Intuition, the mind is looking at the revelation. Intuition.

Meditation, device of reflection or consideration. Meditation.

Stop in meditation, look at intuition, listen to its revelation. Medituitrevel!

footnotes

meditation 101. watching the thinking flow and not flowing with the thinking.

truth reveals itself to mind. this is revelation. mind is touched by revelation. this is intuition. consciousness is talking to consciousness. the quiet mind is priceless. this is meditation 201.

prajnanam brahma 301.

tattvamasi is meditation 401.

aham brahma asmi is your doctorate in satguru. we don't call them doctors. just guru.

poetry is the expression of intuition. prophecy is the expression of revelation.

between poetry and prophecy is this paraverse.

Waiting For The Satguru

Consensual reality is conceptual reality and conceptual reality is no reality at all.

Reality is not conceptual. There are no names for Tao. And Brahman just means the great, but that which is great is left unsaid.

Conceptual reality exists in order to be deconstructed, but you’ll still need to wear some ego at the supermarket.

 

The past, present, and future are all in the past. Concepts only live in memory.

You can never reach reality. Reality reaches you.

All you can do is stop, look, and listen, and even this is not your doing.

Call this intuition or waiting for the satguru.

Seven Faces of Maya

Consciousness is the expression of awareness. Imagination is the expression of consciousness

Myth is the expression of imagination, ego is the expression of myth.

Deconstruction is the expression of ego, self-inquiry is the expression of deconstruction

Self-awareness is the expression of self-inquiry. Aware (maya—consciousness, imagination, myth, ego, deconstruction, self-inquiry, self-awareness—maya) ness.

Brahman Isn't Atman

One's neither in the world nor of the world, but the world's in and of oneself.

Finally oneself is brahman. And brahman is neither in oneself nor of oneself. As above, so below.

As the mahavakyas say, consciousness is brahman, and not brahman is consciousness.

In other words, the conceptual is ultimately nonconceptual, but the nonconceptual is never conceptual.

Prana consciousness amplified by an integrated circuitry of consciousness called the body-mind is prajna consciousness.

Maya's Third Symphony

Self-awareness is awareness.
Awareness is not self-awareness.

 
Self-awareness is the destination of duality.
Nonduality is another name for absolute awareness.

Awareness is not nonduality.

Duality, nonduality, and self-awareness is the Holy Trinity of Maya.
This self is awareness. Brahman isn’t atman. This self is brahman.

footnotes to self.

another name for meditation is attention. practice paying attention at least once day. and say your prayers at night.

self-awareness is timeless. being self-aware happens when you don't think about it.

the practice is being self-aware for as long the mind can stand it. in-between we play our mindless games. not that there's anything wrong with mindless games. they help with spiritual indigestion. just try not to hurt someone.

ego is me. superego is god talking through me. there is no god in self-awareness. there's only consciousness. 

consciousness isn't a god. although everything appears in consciousness and everything is consciousness, all isn't consciousness.

reminder. there are three states of consciousness, five superimpositions and seven stages of self-awareness.

as you will remember, the three states of consciousness are waking, dreaming, and deep sleeping.

the waking state includes higher states of waking consciousness. and lower states of waking consciousness as well. ultimately they're all conceptual.

the five superimpositions are outer, inner, thinker, doer, and lover

bell calls the seven stages of self-awareness, light, nuclear, atomic, molecular, vegetable, animal, and dominion.

also remember, there are four mahavakyas. prajnanam brahma, tattvamasi, ayam atma brahma, aham brahmasmi.

my transcreation goes, consciousness is brahman, there is no transcreation for tattvamasi, this atman is brahman, i am brahman.

similarly, if prana consciousness is, i am; and prajna consciousness is, i am that; ouroboric self-awareness is, i am that i am.

if all goes as planned, the world's population will hit 8 billion before the end of 2022. that's 8 billion buddhas. if there's ten thousand universes in every buddha, that's further than the webb can see. 

"everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star." other selves are circumstantial. all i really know is myself. i assume the same is true for you. if not, try it for 3 weeks.

i purchased a ticket to omnipresent self-awareness and all i got was this body-mind.

the body-mind is formula one. dna is like original script. revelation is like going off script. revelation is like going off script. social conditioning sucks. love doesn't suck. 

Transcreating Four Agreements

I’m still very much a fan of the four agreements. They’re not like the ten commandments. Rather they're understandings, agreements with ourself. They’re psychological mahavakyas. They’re contemporary new age non-nihilistic neti neti. They’re an elementary education for those lost in the material world.

Impeccable is quite the word. Not capable of sin. Flawless. True words are flawless diamonds.

The taking things as a person is what makes you a person blues.

Belief makes an ass of you & me.

It goes against all social conditioning but nondoing is really doing your best.

~my transcreation of the four agreements as revealed by the toltec nagual don miguel ruiz.

Apres don miguel ruiz, eckhart tolle. The business plan is to merge the streams of krishnamurti and ramana maharshi. The power of now is true to its school, good stuff. I’ve a soft spot for tolle. I first came across the name of nisargadatta maharaj in his recommended readings.

From 111 to 777 in No Time Flat

Self-realization is the 7th subdivision of the 7th substage of the 7th stage of the self-reflexive universe. Thus 777 is the number of the satguru.

Other than being, there’s non-being. Some call this concept maya. 111 is maya’s first name. Others say ananda is whole and that’s why there’s the bliss.

There’s no intelligent design. There’s just intelligence. Only brahman is intelligent. The universe is but the manifestation of that intelligence.

Ignorance, miscalculation, and unintelligence. These are other names for maya. It’s not that you won’t ever get there from here. It’s you’re not here at all. This is maya’s paradox.

Vishnu And Isvara Are Alright Tonight

Everything is permeated by prana consciousness.

Prana consciousness is like this life force of universal electricity.

The body-mind is like a transistor amplifier.

Awareness is reflecting in the force
of prana consciousness which is the input.

The prajna of self-awareness is the output.

Everything appears in prajna consciousness.

The Mahavakya Slap

i.

God is a concept. Me too.
Prajnanam brahma is a concept too, but the mahavakyas are to advaita vedanta what the zen slap is to zen.

CONSCIOUSNESS IS ABSOLUTE!
Everything appears in consciousness. No one manufactures consciousness.

 
An appearance cannot create that within which it is appearing!
Is the corollary to mahavakya one.

 
This is like a slap in the face to the body-mind industrial complex.
And since the body-mind is nothing but a complex thought,

This mahavakya is actually a slap in the original face.
Who said consciousness talking to consciousness has to be pretty?

ii.

Concepts are tools. There’s nothing wrong in being the hammer. But identifying with the hammer, on the other hand, hurts. Maybe use the hammer and don’t let the hammer use you.

Materialism is nothing new. Ever since duality, there’s been only two meta-paradigms. Being is the first, and some say only. Materialism is the second.

Does consciousness appear in the material world, or does the material world appear in consciousness? That is the real question here. Here’s a clue for you. Try answering this question while unconscious.

Although the zen slap appears to have a physical component, it’s this physical component the zen slap is spontaneously deconstructing. Thus the zen slap is a slap in the original face.

Similarly is the mahavakya just consciousness slapping consciousness, conceptually speaking. Spirituality may be pretty, but nonduality is real.

awareness and self-awareness are nondual—

consciousness is the word of self-awareness; 

divine imagination is the word of consciousness; 

revelation is the word of divine imagination;

self-awareness is the word of revelation—

self-awareness and awareness are nondual.

If a Snake Hisses in the Superstring

1.

Brahman plus illusion equals rope.
Rope plus delusion equals snake.

If universal consciousness minus maya equals brahman,

Then universal consciousness equals brahman, period.

If the mind is rational, is maya irrational?

If the mind speaks in myth, does maya speak in paradox?

The world is the antisatcitananda.

Crow caws the causelessness of crow.

2.

Something didn’t happen;

Self-awareness happens.

Space-time is a cross-section of that self-awareness.

Forgetting, turning, and evolving is the story of this space-time.

Maya is forgetful.

Mahavakya, mahavakya, mahavakya,

Mahavakya.

Evolution is the satguru in action.
