MCB, your description of sitting where Buddha sat and the resultant merge is good strong imagery (and experience) of what I am labelling synthronicity. The experiential body that we are is vast and readily merges with, and already is, the energetic realm of the Buddha and of Christ. When without reflection, without continuing to tell ourselves the same old stories of who we are, thus hypnotizing ourselves into particles, when pure consciousness, we are one without an other. We leave the world of duality (which is a consciousness state) and open to the realm of the nondual.
Not two! Not two! the monks of old would assert. Not two and not even one, since "one" is already a separation. When we realize this (have real eyes), misery and fear and doubt fall away. We live in and as eternity. When that song "What if God were one of us" was popular a few years ago, I laughed. A lovely song, but it had not gone quite far enough. What if God were all of us?
I know you know all this, but I'm one of those verbal guys and like to marvel at our situation. I appreciate our friendship and the inspiration of your existing. Love to and with you (as I know it is), Bubba!

Am honored, George. Have always greatly appreciated your loving kindness--like a great lighthouse that unconditionally shines for whomever wishes to partake. And, have discovered, that that same light may be kindled within, if only the match is struck but once...
ReplyDeleteAttended a sermon last Sunday. The topic included Solomon's wish to God that 'wisdom' be granted to him. Within dualism, that's the problem, no? "Oh, God! Grand me the wisdom to discern 'right' from 'wrong'." Forever a battle, when caught between the dynamics of two opposing, great forces...
A reprieve comes, it seems, in the Taoist's "The way to do is to be." and in the Lord's prayer when asking for "Thy will be done." Both allow the Logos to be "...a lantern under our feet."
Perhaps more...
We ARE that lantern. No need for wisdom; no duality--we simply walk upon a lit path.
Perhaps more...
We are both the path and the lantern which illumines it.
Perhaps less...
We are none of these. No wisdom or discernment needed, as there's no seperativity--no atomic existence.
Perhaps less...
Love and blessings, George.
