We are accostomed to thinking in contradictions. Let’s take up the example of God and the universe. We may say God is Eternal and subsequently say ‘God manifested as the universe, as the earth, as the trees, as my beloved…what an amazing creation…’ and yet we miss the inherent contradiction. Our eternal (which is to say not time bound) has ‘manifested’ or ‘transformed’ into mutiple time-bound things, things which will die-as sure as they were born. Is this possible? for the eternal to break into time-bound appearances. It holds no ground as a theory. So then what is God and what am I? One thing seems clearly evident having seen the contradiction…we must not be separate, as separation assumes duality. To have two there must be a cause and effect (time).

I am just practicing remembering class and channeling the assimilated understandings here. It may be piecey. The essence is Verse 7 of Mandukya Upanishad…. The immortal cannot become mortal, nor can the mortal ever become immortal. For, it is never possible for a thing to change its nature.

We can only point to the truth with words, for if we were to discribe or define truth it would become another object of the world, which would die with time. So if I were to point at an understanding of truth… the space like knowingness, all accomodating, never affected, never involved, utterly un-attached to anything! The What I see is an appearance brought together by thought. Thought upon thought. As prefixes and suffixes are added to a root, our thoughts compile, forming our percieved world. A world in which the individual and partite holds our attention, and a seeming reality. Imagine how diligent we would need to be to pick apart every word to examine its root…the same way we must get to the root thought that assumes this false appearace to be ‘real’. Namely…Birth…if I was born then 1) i am this many years old, 20 i grew up in washington, 3) i have such and such education…..and I am going to die. But Lets say we don’t assume this root-thought of “birth” to be true…who am I?

not to be answered with rationale, to be sat with.

ps. I am fasting from email for the duration of course: I will be available sundays and mondays online.
