28. Enlightenment - Experience and Non-Experience.

It is worth normally to discuss enlightenment to the waking state only to understand what happens there or how we function within it.

We can say that - it is life - that is seeing and hearing outside the framework of the body, It is life -that is feeling the touch and taste on the frame work of the body and some emotions and sensations inside the framework of the body. So the body is just a visual illusion to earmark where you start or end. But the real you ‘who’  is the perceiver of objects - is life itself, doing certain aspects of perceiving outside and certain aspects inside the borderline of so-called body. So as a perceiver, we have no inside and outside.

Now there is a world out there ( seen by life) and an experiencing here in the body, of the world out there,  in synchronism with the outside world.

For example, If you see a snake, immediately, there is a fear experience in the body. In other words, two actions are happening simultaneously, One is the seeing of a snake, not by a body, but by ‘life’ itself (which seems to have ‘space’ as its body), and an experience of fear, experienced by ‘life’ ( which think is experienced by the limited body. This combination confirms to a belief that the body is doing the seeing and also the experiencing as if,  there was a person in there, who had a capacity to see outside and feel inside.

This synchronising effect, together with the belief of a person residing inside the body, keeps the story of the person living in ‘time’. The story is further strengthened by thoughts confirming, as to what  was seen and how dangerous it was etc, as if the thoughts were initiated inside the body, by that person. A little sprinkling of earlier memories, when such a scene was experienced, is then added and all this seemingly enacts the reality in space and time of a continued story. These thoughts are very much necessary to infuse feelings and emotions of their own, without the visual snake being there.

In enlightenment, what is clear is that, all activities belong to life and the body is just an illusion which had no role other than make a boundary-line for seemingly inside feelings and outside seeing. It is also seem that the visual outside is without any person attached to a body or a  thingness attached to objects. It is also linked to no separate experiencer to experiences and all experiences are seemlessly happening in the knowing. So there is confirmation of meaninglessness to a sense of a separate  ‘I’ or You or Things or places as here and there etc., whatever language uses to make a feel of objectivity to this audio visual world as an appearance. 
There are just forms changing in its format and without a core. For example -like clouds, changing shapes. When all objects are thus seen without a core – so as to say, and the core in the self body is also not felt, there is perfect non-experience to events that are happening as if to a person. It is like, as if meaning cant be made to what is visualised in a subject object format. This takes away the element of time being a reality to the visual, and life seems to be doing the seeing, without a ‘me’ with no sense of time. The inexperience of time, cannot make a story or a sequence of what is seen. What is experienced therefore is a timeless experience. It would be like a dream, that had no sequence to events and in which the central dream character that ‘you’ are - were missing. The whole dream then is timeless and inconsequential.

So it could be related to as if being awake to our dream state with our eyes open. No person, no time and no attachments and so no story.

The waking state, in normal sense is thus, a story of ‘me’ personalising  all experiences. In the realisation of the real nature of creation, there is an end to  the ‘me’ story and all its sub stories of others and memory is allowed to be used only to live peacefully with others, so that you may not be sent to a mental asylum. 

Then the story plays on, but now, it has been seen trough that ‘life’ is all there is – stripping out all the illusions and also the experiences of fear and anxiety as mere thought forms that have no basis in reality.  The body is then clearly seen as an instrument of expression to life like an ‘amplifier’ expressing the inaudible to the crowd.

It is also seen, that life was always so, and it took just one ‘ Lucid Non experiencing’ experience to blow the cover of the  ‘belief,  that there could be a person inside any- body.
