Living in True Consciousness – and how Advaita (nondualism) is lost the moment the  ‘i’ – egoself – arises!

You have finally arrived into the beautiful experience of SELF. Your third eye seems shiny from within all the time. You almost feel light exuding from your face and head, as if lighting up everything around you. Some even comment, “hey, your aura is really expanding; you are shining”. You don’t register what is being said, or to who the message is being addressed. You simply go within, reconnecting!

You can feel the twinkle just above the centre of the eyebrows, and you are simply jubilating within its beauty, even with open eyes, as it dances within that small speck of the undeniable centre of ALL that exists!

Whether you walk, lie down, cook, eat or do anything by yourself, you can feel that beautiful sense of ‘life force’ sort of drawing you into the beauty of the cool, sparkly, centre of third eye. All you want, is to just stay slowed down, to move through life like a gentle breeze, a beautiful gentle wave, almost as if non-existent; your feet moving, but almost not touching the ground, as if, simply floating!

In fact, sometimes, sitting in deep meditation, or near the immensity of the vast ocean, or then, in the middle of the dense forest, YOU are vibrating, as ONE, right through the top of the centre of your head, seamlessly connected to the universal energy (some call the centre of the head as the ‘Sahasrara’, the 7th, crown chakra, a thousand petaled lotus).

So, you have perfected your ‘BEINGNESS’ in/ ‘CONNECTEDNESS’ to, the highest realm. You are sure, through direct experience, that you are now not the small ‘i’, but, the big ‘I’, which is in a constant WHOLENESS, which clearly is the un-manifest form of ‘CHRIST and HIS FATHER are one’!

In fact, its not even that rare for you to experience your truest of states, in your meditations, sitting, standing or moving, where within minutes, you arrive into your pristine, divine SELF.

The beauty of the experience, both the humblesness as a nothingness indeed, as well as the constant unshakeable undeniable vast connectedness and power, that this state reveals — are the BEST ever experiences of your human existence. As you truly arrive into your pristine pure SELF, you know, nothing compares to it!

Once you have this experience, you really NEVER want to lose it. You know you have persevered days, weeks and months, ignoring all aspects of your small ‘i’ ego-self! You have fought through the ego’s urges to stoop lower into selfishness, never trying to mask yourself, never worrying about how you ‘look’, never trying to ‘fit-in’! You have become comfortable with simply floating! You are home, with yourself, even if physically among the crowds, but without being dependent on anyone !

You have really simply relinquished your dependency on an assumed identity, you shy away from ‘friends’ and social networks, trying to live within your SELF. You are in fact, so comfortable with your silence, that IT is your true MUSIC, the music of SELF, the music that enthralls your senses like your whole being is immersed in the cool waters of the ocean; as if a bird, soaring in the vast sky, endless, without boundaries, where you can turn to, anywhere, with a simple lift of a feather or wing; you find freedom, freedom in the nothingness, in the emptiness. You have finally FOUND yourself!

ALL that you seemed to have done many of these waking days, is nothing much! The waking moments truly, appear just, illusory! They are times you know as if just a dream! They are simply pauses between the endless spans of conscious awakening!

Your real life is when you are consciously merged in your HIGHEST SELF, the DIVINE state, which you are so at ease with.

You have now assumed your true identity, that of the big ‘I’. You don’t need to really have yourself understood by anyone ‘else’! Who else is there when you are already in the ONENESS that is the WHOLE indeed. And you aren’t really thinking this at all, you are simply IT. You are in the KNOWING, as direct experience; not as theoretical knowledge, which so many go preaching about.

You know your innate connectedness so well now, its first nature for you. You are truly a humble, benevolent, magnanimous heart, who is willing to give up, and give in, and let go, for the sake of love.

Then, a sudden surge arises! EVERYONE should KNOW! Everyone should arrive into their HIGHEST SELF. Everyone should discover the treasure, (they already have) which everyone is searching for all the time, mistakenly putting the tape of gold over everything that seems acquirable, yet, fake!

You hear so many versions! So many people shouting out loud what they can make others achieve, how they can make others ‘acquire’ (what they already have — ROFL), as if its a thing to learn about, or get!

But, you know now, you need to share and express the truth. You feel a little bit of sharing won’t take away anything. Hell, even make a business out of it. Why not? If you don’t charge a fee, people will think, you don’t know it, you don’t value it! So there you go. You venture out! You set up profiles, open your apps and jump onto instagram and FB. You feel a couple of people out there have put posts you want to comment on… and slowly, you get into it, not realising that you are again assuming the small ‘i’ self again. The ego starts playing, you are getting into the emotions, the identifying, the rejecting, the influencing, the self judging…. you are losing that intuitive SELF, that which is above and beyond it all, beyond its own shadows, deeper than its own waves, vast than its own visibility of blueness behind the clouds, bigger than its own shine, and truly ever present beyond its own illusion! You get into your smaller ‘i’ even more, more than you have ever known it to be….

And so, in just a matter of seconds, minutes and hours, BAM! You lose it! Suddenly, that vibrating oneness is gone. Advaita is no more! You lose sense of that supreme consciousness you had arrived into! The joy of the experience that was so uplifting, seems gone.

— — — — —

You have the beautiful floaty sense of oneness still.

The memory of such a strong experience can’t go away forever. The illusion cannot take away, that, what is the illusions’ own fundamental reason for arising; that, what was always YOURS.

So, lets go back HOME! NOW!

— — — — — –

The beautiful sense of the all-encompassing, never-ending realm of oneness, the joy of the highest experiential bliss, is always yours! Losing it, is like a fall from grace, a disconnectedness from one’s true breath, greater than the loss of one’s dearest child, as if the sun has gone away forever. Your existential reality of oneness is within YOU! You cannot afford to lose the unmanifest ‘Christ-and-his-father are one’ state! It IS, your greatest treasure, ever!

So,

Drop your need to validate yourself.

The moment you see the ‘other’, KNOW, that you are moving into the illusion.

See through the illusion clearly. See, feel and experience, ONENESS.

KNOW, that YOU, never fade away! KNOW, that YOU, are ALREADY WHAT you always were!

YOU, have been, and will ALWAYS, BE!

YOU, are ONE, with, and as, EVERYTHING.

BEYOND the manifest, BEYOND the multiplicity, BEYOND the relative.

BE your SELF.
