One is not supposed to speak of these things aloud. Too easily misunderstood. Folk have been killed, and perhaps even worse, set on a pedestal (a slower form of death). But how is transformation in human consciousness to occur without pointing to the existence and nature of the transformations?
I speak in words that make sense to me, that describe the consciousness that I am as clearly and succinctly as possible:
I am the Lifeforce (Spirit) opening into and as the densest of matter. I am an invasion, an infusion. I feel and see and know and am the vast infinity of Spirit, opening into, as, and out of dense matter, this physical world here. I am a merge and an emerging. I am an outbreathing of Spirit into the realm of and as Man. I am complete subjectivity with no object. I am an embodying of Spirit.
This is my conscious awareness. This is my experience. This is who and what I am.

You are a snowflake. Arising from nothing. perfect in form, evaporating in the bright sunshine. An endless end since you will return as a snowflake. Your essence is Stillness. It is not born and cannot die. That is the reality. What other snowflakes do, say, believe, or imagine is largely beyond your control. Snowflakes are best born and live in silence. Their silence inspires an appreciation and wonder of beauty. Snowflakes born in the fury of the blizzard inspire fear of the cold, Each snowflake wishes to be beautiful, but many mistake noise, sound, and other nonsense with beauty instead of realizing that all beauty arises from silent awareness.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I am not speaking of metaphor (your snowflake metaphor has charm) nor of philosophy (reincarnated snowflake, etc.) here. I am speaking of my EXPERIENCE. I am the lifeforce embodying. I am spirit personifying. I am no snowflake.
ReplyDeleteGeorge,
ReplyDeleteEach human being is spirit personifying whether he or she knows it or not. You are just unique in how you express yourself. I can't speak for your experience, and sometimes I wonder whether I can speak for my experiences because for the most part any significant experience that I can ever have is beyond words and beyond description, and likely even beyond my own mind's grasp - what we term the me.
Just because you say you are not a snowflake, doesn't mean that you aren't a snowflake. If I called you a Buddha, would you embrace or deny such a label, or even care for that matter? What are labels compared to the reality one knows?
I mean no disrespect, George. I am happy that you truly know who you are and are shouting it to the Universe as a whole. There is much Joy there. I just have trouble grokking you at times. That's not your fault or my fault. That's just the way it is, though deep down I know you speak truth.
John
Yes, I see and feel and experience energetically -- as energy -- in an energetic way -- as en-erg-y, an erg being a unit of potential and unleashed action. There is nothing I can do about it.
ReplyDeleteAs to shouting it to the universe, sometimes I think I should just keep my big mouth shut. I won't though. That is not who I am. I have been thinking out loud about these matters all my life and no doubt will continue.
I appreciate your thinking out loud too, John.
"I am complete subjectivity with no object."

MCB,Exactly!
ReplyDeleteIn his book, "The Book: About the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Really Are", Alan Watts saya that you (we) are God playing hide-and-seek with himself. Thus the taboo, if we went about telling others we are "God" we would likely be nailed to a tree. I do not profess to know Watts philosopies well, and have been told by others that not all of his thinking works, but this concept is very real to me, I believe it, and the dialog on this site helps me to get closer to this understanding.
ReplyDeleteThere is cosmic humor in all of this. While the back-and-forth comments above are highly interesting, they make me hark back to the opening sentences of George's post:
ReplyDelete"One is not supposed to speak of these things aloud. Too easily misunderstood."
It is funny, isn't it? I think I set myself up -- hoist by my own petard. I think I'm going to have to turn in my Junior G-Man Spirituality badge and start all over again.
