47. Time, Duration and Movement.

What is time?, Is it something that we understand?

We use time in language, as used by everybody and believe in time, for synchronising movements. But what exactly are we doing. We seem to have a feel of time. However, a little analysis of time is overdue.

Let’s start with an assumption that time is something that really exists. Like we think space exists. Starting from here, lets try to objectify time.

Firstly we need to fix, if time is something that is stationary or something that seems to have a movement. Can we agree on it being one of the two. Or is it both, like a man ?.  Sometimes standing and sometimes moving. Unlikely. They say, time and tide waits for none. So time seems to be a movement. We would have to agree around time being a movement because, time being stationary is unimaginable. It would put the whole universe in a ‘statue’ mode. So lets agree for the time being, that time is something that moves.

This brings in the set of complications. How does time move, Linear, or to the power? We would tend to think it to be linear, because we draw so many graphs, where time is linear. Unless we believe so, we should not have been practicing so. That means, time has to move, and what we have been thought so far is that, time moves, one second per second. when one second is by the clock and compared to one second by our own feel. But in sleep, time passes faster. In death, it may be the fastest. A million years to a second. 

Time in motion is tricky.It means, 10’ O’clock itself becomes 10.01 after one second and 10.02 after two seconds and so on. Actually this seems in place. But what does it mean. It means that, morning itself becomes afternoon, and day itself becomes night. One dies to birth the other. Its like saying, the clay becomes the pot and the same pot becomes a vase. So there is only, either pot or vase or clay. When one is seen, the other two are also the same one. Cant have three clay items at a time. Existence of one, is the death of the rest. Time has such a quality with itself. It is always ‘now’ appearing as morning, afternoon night, 2011, 2012 etc. and this needs to be probed more for its meaning. Objective reality of change is measured in time, but objective measurement of change of time is not measurable. So time is not measurable change. It is a changeless, in which change of other than time is sensed. Since 'we' sense change, Time must be 'we' as Life.

Take another example. Suppose you start a race. Say only one person is running. He starts the race at 10 O’clock and has run for five minutes and covered say - 1 kilometre distance. Now, in terms of time, the 10 O’clock itself has become 10.05 at the point that he has finished. So his start time itself has advanced to his finish time. So he is at the start point itself, in terms of time and has never moved even one second, because he and time are moving together in time. That is why, he is always here. He can never go there or anywhere. It’s more like, all the anywhere that he goes, becomes the ‘here’ and ‘now’ always, no matter how fast or slow he moves, he is not moving at all. Now this is a paradox. Time in motion, is a paradox and time stationary is a unimaginable. So what is happening here. It time stationary, a movement or something that is an illusion like a mirage, but never graspable. This seems more like it. It seems to be there, but on analysis, it neither moves nor is stationary. Then what can it be. It is a movement that doesn’t seem to move. This is unimaginable.

So what moves, has time a background on which movement is registered, or time is a changeless background on which, change is registered. If so, what could be time, conceptually? How can we define time?  What are its characteristics? All that we can think of is that, this is some sort of a background. It could not be something that has motion. It has to be something that registers motion or change. Could it be life itself?, could it be Self? Who is registering motion or change?. Only that, which is changeless. And that seems to be a cognising capacity, which itself has no characteristics like change or no-change.

So, time is a sense of feel of living. Life is living itself. Living is its objective nature and time is its observing nature. So time is the observer of life. Life is movement and time is cognition of movement. Time cannot move. In fact time cannot come under the category of time in a way that we imagine time to be. So time itself is timeless, even though we assume it has some sense of time. Its a tool that seems to cognise change or movement. The tool itself is timeless. Actually this is what ‘WE ARE’. Appearances take place in ‘time’ or in ‘us’ as if durable, as if - time taking. But time itself, doesn’t exist as we think it does. Its not stationary, its not movement. It is what we are, it’s what is cognising and it’s what cognising is. There is no other time that we know, other than this. 

Morning, afternoon and night are names for shades of brightness of 'Now'. There isn't 'a' Morning or 'a' afternoon or night in the sense of time. The durations are 'mind' games, translating an experience of change is a process 'in time'. All there is -is a sense of change. Within the given time, so many things changes so many ways. For example, a DAY means a lifetime to a mosquito, fraction of that to human, 10 lifetimes for a bacteria, nothing at all for a stone etc. So we are not actually seeing time, we are only sensing different experiences of change - some fast and some slow. A change is all that we experience, and all is happening to/in the 'Now'. This now doesnt have a sense of time. Its not that 'Now' is long or short. The durations felt or changes that are experienced , 'seem' long or short. Sleep seems 5 minutes, boredom seems hours etc. So all there is -is a magical experience for a change, which is translated by some thought or other mystical means as an experience of time. Time doesnt exist, Its a word for that which senses 'time' as experience of change or movement or duration.

So ticking of the clock is a movement in time or in cognition. Time, by itself just means cognising potential for change or movement, which is ‘life’ or ‘I am’ itself is.

46. How to go about self analysis.

Normally we hear these statements in non duality, that, what we think we are, is not what we are and what we are, is not what we think we are. What does it mean. They also say that, one has to do self enquiry, on their own. What is shared here is the normal question answers, one puts onto himself and gets his own answers, as in thoughts, and there is some clarity, after which, further questions can be thought about. What is shared here is also that, one can take the enquiry from here onwards, so that a few years of enquiry could be saved, which one can consume, from starting from scratch and arriving till here.  The search for self can progress from here onwards and there would be some clarity, what one is seeking for. If you begin from scratch, it would be quite some time, before one can get hold of what one wants to seek, even as seeking seems to be gripping the mind.

Seeking is self enquiry. An enquiry, where one wants to find out what or who exactly one is. What does this mean. Do we not know who we are. We are already who we are. But what does this mean. Is this not enough. NO.

To start with, we think that we are human beings with free will. We can see, we can hear, smell etc, and we can think. All this is incorrect. The one that see’s, hear’s, etc is not the ‘you’ or this body –mind entity,  with a free will. Is not the human form that perceives all this. Its more complex or simpler than that.

Imagine you slept and didn’t get up the next day. You are then dead. Cant see, cant hear, cant taste, useless. Just useless. So what was driving you to feel alive and live and see and hear? Life. This is correct. So are you the body or life?. You think that you are this body which has a life. We think that each body has a separate life. What is this life. Our knowledge of life is what we are taught. But we are taught from a point of view that there is a separate life for each body and that we are in control of our own life. However, we are not taught, what this ‘we’ is-  that controls our ‘life’. Is life the controller or is ‘Me’ the controller. Does life include me or does it exclude ‘me’. This is tricky. We think that we are an ‘entity’ that is separate from the life that we have, and we have some control on our life. We think that our life is our behavior, manners, intelligence etc., and this entity called ‘me’, is something outside this behavior, manners, intelligence etc that can be used to control our lifestyle. So the controller is the entity. That’s what we think. What is the nature of this controller?. Where is it residing?, what is its form?. Is it an intelligence that can control our individual intelligence?. Is it an intelligence that can control ‘our’ free will? What the hell is it. How do I find out, who or what or where is this ‘I’. Do I start from a point that this ‘I’ or controller, is inside this body. Can we ignore the possibility of this controller ‘I’ being outside this body?, How do we figure this out? Its not easy. It seems impossible. It seems madness. We have been operating in this world for many many years, without actually analysing who we are. Is this a fact. Yes, it is so.

Till now what is the clarity. Let us fix up once and for all, that life is required for the body to operate. So we need to know what life is. We can forget about the body, being an ‘I’. Body is inert, without life. It is unfit even to decay without life. Life is required for growth. Positive as well as negative. Growth from birth to old age is positive and from death to decay or nothing is also positive for evolution but considered negative due to decay being an un-acceptability as life.. Life seems to be energy. Until all matter of the body is converted to pure energy, either by cremating to burying or rotting or change of form or whatever happens. Energy cannot be destroyed. So energy will remain as energy and change form. It will change from human form to worm form, if buried, or into chemical form like CO2 or H2O if cremated. However, life seems to be somewhere or other and not easily graspable as some concept.

We take another route. Other than life being necessary for sensing, - like see-ing, hear –ing etc, and acting the body, there are also ‘thoughts’ that are known. How do thoughts form? Are ‘we’ forming thoughts? Are we taught any process how to form thoughts. Or are thoughts forced on to us from outside. This seems correct. Thoughts are outside our control. Thoughts are memory, ideas, imaginations that control the body or 'us'.. Without thoughts, we are unconscious –so to say. It is only the thoughts, that seem to be active all the time. It is the thoughts that seem to keep our continuity. That makes our happy moments and our sad moments. Its thought that makes our experience of day to day life in a storyline. Thoughts happen to us. Who or what is this ‘us’, who knows the thoughts?. There is a knowing of thought appearing. But is there a knower or only a thought. Who is the thinker of the thought.?

All enquiry stops here for a very very long time. This is the most solid clue. Its easy to imagine that I am the see-er of object and hear-er of sounds. We have been thought so. We are made to be a subject of the so called objective world.  However we are we also an object in our own seeing of the world. We  are THE TENTH MAN, If so who is the subject to which we are the object. The enquiry ends really here. What is the truth of this subject- object world. This game of self enquiry now goes back into oneself. Searching outside of us ends here, as there aren’t any good clues to go by. Then a search inside starts, a search for ‘who’ we actually are. This is right direction also. The search within.

Take a sentence – I hear sound. Seems logical. Is sound apart from the hearing of it. Is hearing apart from the hearer or ‘I’. Is the subject apart from its object?. That’s the point. No hearing automatically means, no sound and also no hearer. So all there is a ‘no-one’ hearing, split into ‘I’ and sound, to make it, I hear sound. This sentence is difficult to digest. A no-one is difficult to grasp. Such a no-one as this intelligence that is doer of all doing is 'Life'.

Language is duality. Language is ‘life’s creation to generate a sens of an individual to a body, by making a feel of a thinking mind separate from the outer world. It makes a subject - object world. It creates a feeling of positive and negative as separate existence. Absence of one is the presence of the other. But, language made words for absence as well as presence and made it feel like, we can conceptualise a presence and absence and  have a feel of both being present and both independent of each other. For example light and darkness. We think that we can see ‘light’ and we can see darkness. We think the we can hear sound and we can hear silence and so on. But what you cant see is called darkness and what you can't hear is called silence.  So what you are is called subject and what is not you, that is called object. But if you are not, then all objects are simply not. So this becomes a paradox.  

All objects are called presence of forms. Including sound forms and thought forms. So absence of forms must be a subject. In fact  ‘The’ subject. Our body is also a form or an object to the subject that is seeing it. So if you eliminate all forms- visual, audible, thoughts etc, all sensations, all emotions etc, then what is left is pure subject called life, that was capable of cognising all these objects. That’s what is a ‘Neti Neti’ approach. 

We cognise presence of objects -as objects and absence of objects as space. Space also is an object in the knowing. So absence of space is what is left as subject, called pure knowing capacity or a simple nothing. Nothing is not an absence of something. Nothing is the absence of space or double absence of something. Nothing is pure knowing and nothing is what we are as life or knower. The knower of knowing is life. Since it doesn’t fall in subject object category, we say, all there is- is pure knowing or nothing or ‘I am’. This is pure subjectivity. If there are no objects, there cannot be a subject and all there can be is a potential to know, in case, there is an object to know. Now imagine your body has been introduced into this nothing. This is still an object known in the knowing. Now put all other objects like houses, persons etc. So all there are is only objects and then its knowing. Now, you put some thought objects to interpret that one of the object is a subject of all other objects. That makes a subject- object world, using thoughts. So thoughts have made a subject out of one body so as to make feel that others are its object. This feels includes a make feel thought type called entity or ‘me’ to a body.  Almost all thought, spin through a ‘me’ loop. Creating an illusive subject at this end. So the ‘me’ is purely a thought material. So there isn’t a ‘me’ with a free will. There are merely thoughts which stress a free will in the thinking itself. The stressing makes it seem real.

Now we have made subject as ‘nothing’ and objects as forms, including the body and mind. This should now be easy to grasp. Now what is the relation of nothing and something. This is intuitive. We give reality to our thought. If we see our mother in front, our thought  process or a mental relationship gives reality to a mother ‘form’. There isn’t a mother there, or a friend there, or an enemy there, Those thoughts are here. There – are only forms, talking forms. Thoughts  put a mental relation to this body as me and that body as mother and seen by this thought entity as ‘its’ mother. So the thought structure, made of dream material or a ‘nothing’ gives rise to a feel of reality as ‘mother’. The whole thing is mental. The ‘me’ and the mother, both are mental and not real. There isn’t anything real, other than ‘nothing’ which can nether be real nor unreal, as no objectivity can be attached to it. Me is a mental relation to this body and mother is a mental relation to that body and the game of reality is on.

Take another angle. Take Fire and the Flame. Fire is energy, material or structure of energy is nothing. However, fire seems to appear as a flame. We cannot separate the fire from the flame. We have been taught words like fire and flame to feel separate. Fire is the subject appearing as flame or object. So the subjectivity is the essence and objectivity is its appearance. What is all forms were subjectively nothing and appearance wise or objectively forms.  We now have ‘nothing’  appearing as energy which is fire as well as a flame. Since nothing is subjectivity, beyond space and time, it is timeless and spaceless. However, all appearance seems to be depicted in space and time. Where is the existence of time. Where is the past and future – Nowhere at all, other than in the mind. Even the mind is an illusion. There isn’t any solid mind.. All is an illusion. So if all the past  and all the future is an illusion, how can a spec of present be real. So there isn’t a reality or any present. The reality is nothing however appearing everything using  time and space as its illusive co-ordinates giving rise to things and events in duration. So nothing subjectively is everything objectively. There is no place for a me and a you until now. So me and a you is the language of life, when life speaks bodies, as if one was subject and others are its objects. This is an automatic unfolding. The past disappears or dies into the present which again seems to die into the future. Or else, the present is continuously changing its presence to appear as new new forms or scenery. So this nothing seems to be so powerful and alive as to appear as everything, everywhere and always. This always is not a past, present and future. This always is a now. It will always be now. Time cannot be other than now. This life is always here and make feels everywhere, always now and make feels all the time. Its speciality is its illusive space and time which has no perceiving quality in itself, but, always seems to exist. One cannot take the feel of – of an image or concept of no-space and no-time. One cannot conceptualise infinity or that which cannot be made finite in space and time. Its creates a feeling of a me, an individual entity, with freewill and choice, even though the body is lived, creating the magic of a separate person and the world. Liberation is the knowing, that the Self is none other than ourselves,, as pure knowing, a knowing being, as may you a call it, knowing by being it, and being by knowing it.

So all there is –is life, its objective nature, is ‘being’ forms in the seeing of it, sounds in the hearing of it and so on, or universe in the perceiving of it.

So all there is to know is simply that, the ‘me’ and the ‘you’s’  and others and objectively appearances, which is a ‘dressed up’ act of ‘nothing’. So your wife, or Guru, or statue or chappal is all ‘one’ which is nothing it its essence, appearing objective as all that, signifying nothing that there are  believed to be. All belief’s are belief’s and nothing is true other than being ‘nothing’ in itself. There is no point in telling others to see a point, as the subject is the object and object is the subject, all one, and ‘nothing’ as God.   

The whole perception, made of ‘nothing’, is dream like, being perceived, but by no-one, and that no-one is knowing itself by being all.    

So all there is – is life.

You can take up your personal enquiry from here, until you feel ‘nothing’  or your sense of individual entity dies, which is the ‘dying’ of the ‘me’ before a clinical dying.   

45. Whole mind, split mind, individual and the world.

There is a Big Mind whose objective nature is the universe and whose subjective nature is cognising. So 'cognising' is cognising the 'cognising', the first being the subjective nature, the middle being the action and the later being the objective nature. The big mind or the whole mind, is the see-er of the see-ing, hear-er of the hearing, thinker of the thinking. etc. So all that is known by our senses is the knowing of it and such knowing capacity is what Mind is. 
Split mind is a conceptual mind, apparently our personal mind of thoughts, emotions and feelings. It seems as though the sensing of objects is a game of 'life' that is common to the universe and the mind that has to negotiate what is sensed from a personal point of view, meaning with that of values put in there by conditioning of society, culture, learning etc. It feels as if the scope of work of a personal mind, is to experience the sensations as if objective in nature to an individual controller. It is also seen clearly that this is not true, because at times, we are under the control of mind and at times we seem  to be controlling the mind. The role that a 'we' can play is thus not definable as a achievable target in the doing.
All that is known to us, appears as the looks of 'now', whereby 'now' is the screen that has its contents continuously changing. What is constant is the 'now' that is depicting the contents known, as if 'now' itself was the knower of the knowing, that was immutable or changeless. This is the utter reality which hides itself with the bombarding of sensations as if contents screened through knowledge, where in one object feels a subject to the rest. Its the game of life and appears crazy. However Life is all there is and is also powerful like God, to do what it feels.
The whole mind, is Life in its complete way of functioning as this creation, in which an object of creation feels subjective, with free will and choice. In order to materialise such a game, each subjective object, is made aware of a personalised mind, that is included in the whole mind, but feels separate. Like a wave to the ocean, is not separate from the ocean but can feel so, as long its behavior appears as a wave. Then it merges into the wholeness,as if it was never a part.
The split mind, behaving personal to the body, makes a notion of a separate person to that body, that can manipulate himself to negotiate the world. But the life that is manipulating that mind is the same life that manipulate itself as the world and thus remains as a background, in which the personification is happening. Learning is an aspect of this split mind, in order to break up contents of creation as knowable parts, independent of each other, even though not, and helps in making a story of a 'me' and the world, in which the me is happening. Life seems to go on in this way, until the split mind is absorbed to know its illusory nature as behaving part of the whole. Life then is just the total evolving of itself in time, and the 'me' is just another 'idea' participating actively in evolution.
Split mind has the role of an interpreter to make feel a separate person is real. It is hand in glove with Life, but works as if, it represents the whole mind within the split mind. This makes it seem that the split mind is cognising. This makes it seem that the split mind is a subject and the ‘experiencing’ as objects or rest of the world. So seeing is interpreted as scenery, hearing is interpreted as sounds, thinking is interpreted as thoughts etc. However it is forcing itself to believe, as there is no other in the psyche other than itself, be made believed. Adding the illusion of space and time, all the seeing of the whole mind, works like a system of individual subject seeing an objective world. So, all the ‘you's’ and ‘me's’ are purely illusive but feels real. The so called subject doesn’t have a free will at all. All there is -is the whole mind or cognising potential, as subjectivity, cognising and giving a re- cognised feel of the universe full of meaning, subject -object events, using thoughts or split mind to process the cognising.

In liberation, this illusion is seen through, intuitively, and all belief system based on split mind or individual person, with free will, falls away.

So all there is - is life or cognising, unfolding on its own. This is enough already. Already is the case, a happy and fulfilled wholeness, taking in, all this, all the time.

44. Life, Movement and Measurement.

We need to see through measurement and movement in order to understand life.

We are educated to understand the meaning of measurement. But the understanding has been influenced by maintaining that the measuring instrument, or unit of measure being taken for granted as flawless and also meaningful.  It’s not the question of finding fault with the measure. It’s the question of seeing through the meaning of measurement.

The standard measure that we have are : point, length, area, volume for one kind of measure, that we think is a visual objective. Then we have formless objectivity, and their measures like for sound,  energy etc. These are in units, that are more complex and have to do with waves, frequency, etc. However, these have a compulsory element of time within them. A wave, vibration, frequency, etc, has no meaning without time. It’s as if, they always are a function of time or movement and cannot be applied to anything that is ‘stationary’. The visual objectivity or measurement seems in some cases not in time, because, these do not have an element of time, Like a room or a hill, unless one is dealing with how objectiveness of the visual scene seems to change.

Does a seen scene change or we can fix a scene as stationary?. If we keep looking at any scenery in the day, its objective experience changes with brightness or with time. This is for stationary scenes, like seeing a stone or a hill. It becomes green or brown in the day and becomes black in the night, and so on. So even a stationary scene, seems alive, and that, it keeps changing. Of course, a non stationary scene, wherein things or objects move, is already a changing scenario. So all scenes are changing. There is nothing like a stationary scenery, visual or audible or otherwise. Perception of sound , feel, taste also change. We do not experience a continuous touch, or taste or sound. I doubt if we can feel anything that is not a movement. What we always recognise is change. Life is change, movement etc and our Self is the unchanging, that can recognise a change.

Coming back to measurement, Measurement is a mental judgement of ‘stationaryness’ in movement. This means, we are trying to fix a scene or sound, as if it were stationary, and measure it, with something that may or may not be stationary in a sense. If an electron is always spinning, imagine that we are measuring its diameter by stopping it. This is an impossibility, because, a stopped electron cannot exist. There is no electron, if an electron stops. So we can only judge certain aspects of measurement. For example, a point is contained in a line, a line is contained in an area, an area is contained in volume and volume is contained in time. Each measure is at right angles to the other. So line is outside of point, area is outside of a line, volume is outside of an area and time is outside of a volume. Therefore, time must be outside volume or space to contain it and the Self or perceiving device, that we are, must be outside of time, even so, to judge time. So the perceiving device must contain space and time.

How valid are all these measurements. Are we measuring reality or illusion, using another illusion. This is what is important to be seen through.

We say that a man is moving at four kilometres and hour. Meaning he has travelled four  kilometres and /or one hour. Why are not measuring length with length and time with time. Why do we measure one with another. Can we say, that the heat is measured in length or my body temperature is 2 metres. Does it sound sensible. Supposing, time encompasses all measures, Can we measure something at right angle to another. For example can we measure area in volume as a fraction, or a length in terms or area or a point in terms of length. Why do we have to measure, kilometres per hour.  Its like measuring area per volume. What if time did not exists. What could be that, we are trying to measure?

What I am trying to get at, is the hopelessness of any measurement using time. Time is motion or movement itself. We cannot use movement to measure a stationary and neither can we use a stationary to measure a movement. Is time stationary or movement. That needs to be decided. Then we can get to the base of the matter of measurement.

Let us assume time is a movement because, we cannot except time to be stationary. If time is a movement, it has to move at 1 sec per second. So, if a man started a race at say 10 am and ended his race after two seconds, what does it indicate?  He was ‘here’ at 10 am time and was there, 2 secs later. After 2 secs, time itself has moved 2 secs. So, the ’10 am’ which has been his start reference, has itself become 10.02. So he remains ‘here’ itself. No matter how fast he runs, whatever time that he runs for, the time catches up with him, such a way, that, he is always, here. If he moves slowly or fastly, he is always here, as if, time was moving slowly or fastly, to keep with him to be always ‘here’. So ‘there’ is an impossibility.

His relative speed and absolute speed will ever be the same. Howsoever relatively slow or fast he may run, he will always be here. Where ever he would be, is called here. He can never ever be in a ‘there’. This is also the definition for light. Its relative and absolute speed is the same. So are we our own defined ‘light’ in which objects become visible r perceivable?

What does the above para mean. It only means, that, the ‘he’ is an illusion, because time is an illusion. It there is no time at all, all measurements included in time, is not there at all. So all there is  - is an illusion.

So how does this universe work?. Lets study with an exsample..

Make 3 slides, draw your head on one, next slide draw your torso and next slide draw your head in a new position as if head the head is turned, then erase the first slide, and use it to draw a torso with a leg in a new position. Now erase the second and draw something in a new position.etc etc. Ensure, that the slides are erased and reused. What you see when you see move these slides fast, there is change, just like how the universe works. The slide has no motion. But the change of slide brings in motion. The slide are real, but the seeing is not as per the slide. The seeing, is motion, which is not there, other than as an illusion. But what see there is,- is only the seeing. Its already being shown on the level of illusion. By the time, seeing is happening, illusion has set in. The stationary of the slide, what is there, is not seen or not there and the movement, which is in reality a ‘not there’ is seen or there, as an illusion or movement. So no movement is real and no reality is a movement. So what is there, is not seen and what is seen is not there.

That’s how the system works.

So always, Motion is illusory. We perceive as slides and the story is the movement. So cognising is in slides and recognising is the universe. In order to recognise, we need to join the pattern of the slides. This is done through the mind. The mind is the convertor from the slides to the motion, in which, it infuses meaning also to what is seen and makes it look like a story. The story itself is not reality and the meaning, depending on knowledge, tradition, memory etc, is even more unreality. The seeing is the seer of the scene. But the see-ing is broken up, as if, one of the objects of see-ing is a ‘me; and another as the ‘you’. But both me and you are objects. There isn’t a subject, other than the seeing. The seeing itself is the subject.

This is how the universe works. So there is no individual. But there is a story of an individual called me, dealing with stories of you and the other to knit all into one story called the universe as ‘we’ ( that are not ) see’s.

Then what are ‘we’. At most, since perceiving is obvious,  reality wise or motion wise,  we can assume that we are the slides. Instead of 3 slides, there is only one. So movement happens within the one. The one, changes itself to form the second and seen that way. So there is a continuous forming and seeing, in which bodies appear, objects appear and movement appears. So the reality is life that hides itself, by itself seeing all as ‘motion; or what is there or illusion.

43. Religion, God men and Fraud men.

For many this is a touchy topic. There are views that religion is the basis where one learns to do Bhakti or find a path to God. There are also views that religion divides and the number of deaths due to propaganda of religion is much much more than the numbers that have attained Godhood.

We think religion has come into being due to fear of death like a bad harvest, floods, lightening or whatever. Then came in Godmen, trying to preach that he represented the God and is able to bring peace and prosperity to human race, as if he had more powers than a lay man. He has learnt some spiritual texts that make him little powerful person in the field of religion or spirituality. Knowledge is power and he is just using that.
The very purpose of religion was to turn inward as the seat of Life or God and see how we are not separate from the rest of the creation. However, more religions were started only to fit humans to some frame like Hindus and Muslims for use of racial force, by the so called religious heads, there by giving them a sense of security in life. To implement the scheme, the leaders made use of common place to brain wash the sections of human race, calling them temples and churches and mosques. Even though majority of these structures, purely perform certain rites to maintain an unity in the religion, they basically, have an effect of generating separation in religion as if other sect is another race in competition with the one for survival. We all play out this common game in greed and greed is the basis for play of creation as multiplicity.
Having religion with no religion at all, is already, a safe place to start. But having one religion in place, to feel separate and feel secure in separation is a dangerous place to be. Security in separation is insecurity by itself. Its like nations waging war to make peace. It is just there to defend ones separation and have the peace disturbed. In compels humans to live in a continuous state of separate as if an individual to the body is the basic state. This is the extend to separate families, places, cult and so on. it is an endless dive into seeking an end to separation. 

Seeking peace or wholeness is ignorantly started with people who can teach us the art of living peacefully. Life is the teacher and is always teaching you that nature must be respected as a whole and not in separation. Having teachers with a gift of gab, can make minds swing to accept separation as space of peace and can spoil their future. generally, life loves to have fun in separation and so, more and more in fights and restlessness occur as and when more and more separation is enabled. There are enough Godmen out there,that are taking innocent people for a ride by promising them a good future, in this life or many more to come, and they should be taken to task. They may even take undue advantage of people for their personal gratification in money and sex, confusing the person that service to the teacher is service to God.

Somewhere along the line, one learns about nondual teachings and teachers. the essence of Advaita teaches us that there is only life energy there that operates all beings, humans or other forms. Also that life is a dream and each moment is unfolding itself, for no-one to see, or oneness itself to feel and enjoy its own creation. Having said this,  we need to understand that this intelligence operating the Godman or Fraudmen, is the same intelligence that is also operating this body, judging the behaviour of the other. The same intelligence is flocking hundreds and thousands to special tetreats, temples or other religious gathering.  All entities is one entity, the intelligence, called life, that operates all that -there is.

When this conviction is firm, there is nothing required to be done about anything in these issues. Let each one do what he feels best, because each one is none other than that intelligence itself, behaving each one to behave so. If something needs to be done by this body, life will operate this body to do so. There is neither attachment for a particular Godman or religion nor the hatred. Let life, operate this body, to be in harmony within, where in a sense of judgement, is not at odds with the beliefs set in.

There are no Godmen or Fraudmen. There are no men to start with. All there is –is life, this intelligence of simple ‘nothing’, being all forms and their lives, keeping the game of creation and judgements happening all the time.

Any judgement happening within either for or against,  is the signal for more understanding with the essence of nondual teaching.

Not that there is anything, one can do about all this, being no-one there to correct a wrong, but a thought may set in, a correction may happen, all in the direction to be in harmony with what is happening or creation itself.

42. God is Love.

This is a good topic. We know God is Love, intuitively. But is there really an understanding of God and Love. Even before this, do we have an understanding of who or what we are.

Lets start with the assumption that there is this body/ mind and the outside world. This is a symptom of duality. Mind is largely an unknown area, but known intuitively. Body is known and feelings are known more diractly.

What are feelings. Feelings are some sort of energy arising in consciousness, that uses the body to express itself. Its the 'life' of a thought.Just like our body is made of blood and flesh, thoughts are made of feelings and emotions. Thoughts are alive and mostly interpreting what we are,what the world of object are and the relationship at that moment. It can relate to people and also things and bring about a reaction as a feel to the body.
Our Body is a reaction to the world of sensing and thoughts. Every action that it makes is actually a reaction, but apparently presents itself as an act of a separate body that is apparently negotiating the world of objects. Within the reaction, it is maintained to feel as a separate entity and thus have a resultant reaction that depicts its behaviour as of a separate person.
Life behave itself as the world of objects as well as that of a separate person and there is knowing of this in aliveness that this creation is. However the camouflage is so well maintained that separation on the external is made to be believed as the reality of creation, expressing itself as multitude of objects. 
When creation is experienced as without separation, the structure that life uses to pretend as a person, dissolves. Then on life gets to be experienced without the feel of being separate from its external manifestation and the nature of this experience as a reaction to the body is very soothing. Love and compassion and wonder at the nature of play of Life is well appreciated and embodied, as if Love itself was the Being of creation, expressing itself as this world. This wonder could be none other than God, and then it is know that God is all there is and its nature is Love. God is the Being and Love its its texture. This is our natural state as we are not separate from the Creation that Life is, as an expression of God. God is Life and Life has Love, Peace and compassion as its feel or reaction that is monitored at the body.
When creation is seen in separation as if we are individuals and the world is separate from us, the state of experience is just an illusion of Life, which otherwise could be seen as a whole, expressing itself at all levels of creation so that the expression itself is the aliveness of Life.

Once this is clear, we can see how life is expressing itself. Life appears as conceptual objects and expresses as sensations or feelings in here. All there is - is this totality of what is happening, called life. This wholeness or life is also called God. God is life. All there is -is life or God.

However the taste of the pudding is in the eating and Life as wholeness is a matter of experience as an expression of life, which otherwise is too occupied expressing itself of individual bodies in wholeness, underlying all of which, is life itself as this and that.
So God is Real, The world in separation is unreal, since the world is just an expression of God and must seen as God itself. God is real, the world is unreal and God is the world, as expressed by the Masters.

41. Life – It's Presentation and ‘You’.

The objective nature of Life is how it presents itself as the 'looks' of 'Now'. In fact the perception of how it looks depends on how it is perceived too. So the perception will depend on the perceiver if deaf or blind or depressed or opportunist. In fact the perception and the perceiver are not two. The objective forms that make up the world are coloured by the knowledge that is fed into the perceiver and the circumstances that prevails at the time of perception.
The perceiver that we think we are is simply a reacting extension of the perception as if the knower of that perception. In fact we cannot have one without the other, because we are simply not what we think we are as separate from the perceiving.
The world of object is simply presented in a way that one object behaves as a subject, even while all objects, are of the same source that presents itself as this objective world to that subject. The best part of the presentation is that, It itself is alive as a whole and keeps changing, as if to produce a world of multiple objects, wherein the centre of perception is made to react to the presentation, as if in separation and independent of the creation. However the Creation that is 'alive' and has a continuous changing out look, is capable of making a relative centre to each of us, and maintains separation effectively, to hide its true nature of Being one whole.
Knowing of Being of creation is 'what we are', as consciousness and we are also 'made' to feel limited to the body as a 'person', separate from the rest of the creation, as if creation could be a sum total of multiple objects, seen as matter. This understanding falls away ultimately when scrutinised from all angles, as we are made up of matter in terms of cells, and also non matter in terms of life, and thoughts and emotions etc. In fact the non matter which life is, as consciousness is the basic matter that appears as forms and are made to feels like objective 'things' using thoughts to enforce this objectivity.

Once in a while the veil of dualism of subject and object mode of perception cracks to reveal creation as whole and the presentation of life in the knowing, feels as if to no -one. This happens when the feel of 'me-sense' as a mentally maintained reference to the body, falls away or dissolves in the Being and from then on Being is all there is, with no separation as subject knowing an object. Knowing is then the knower of the known, which is also just the knowing of it, as not separate from such knowing. Any experience felt like bliss, peace etc, are still a content of experience in subject object mode of an experiencer and the experienced, which also would later dissolve to find its balance. Life then on integrates, back into human-ness with the thorough knowing that one is not a separate person, but at the same time, would be enjoying the presence of the creation, continuing to behave separately whenever confronted to behave so, to unfold the next moment as it is supposed to be.
So know yourself as the knowing, of the Being, which is all there is, a life, playing out itself in creation, by being both the knowing and Being or the Creation.
Very funny and Very crazy and very Mystical.
