Cut the Crap
Q: There is no one here who needs to wake up – but the false belief in a me, through which this body-mind consciousness is perceiving,
distorts consciousness – or should I say limits its perspective.
There is this fictional me that is identified by consciousness as the separate thinker of thoughts that needs to be seen through, painted into a corner so that it will vanish of its own accord.
However, there is no I/me who does anything. So a spontaneous action of realization needs to occur (relative to the consciousness associated with the unreal idea of personhood associated with this particular body).
How does this really happen, since this limiting belief in a separate self center is itself unreal as is all conceptualization???
A: What are you saying? Think about it. Look at it. You’re not spotting your own twisted logic.
If there is no “I/me” to do anything, then to whom does this spontaneous action of realization need to occur?
Did you read my last piece called “Picking and Choosing”? It’s directed at the very thing you’re asking me. And I challenge you: How can you selectively say, “There is no me to do anything,” and yet at the same time say “There is a me who needs realization.” Pick one!
Q: I see what you’re saying, but since I am identified with the thinker, it’s a Catch-22. I give up! NO pointer has helped me out of the mind (which itself is unreal) – density prevails.
A: Drop the Advaita crap. Drop the role of the poor seeker who'll never get it. Just drop it. Drop the “I can trump any pointer she gives with a hopeless statement about Catch-22” – drop it! Quit being a spiritual jouster. Quit playing childish games. Admit to yourself that you are full of shit.
Now stop. Stop. Stop. Come to this place empty. Come to this place humble, stripped bare of everything of “yours.” Come to this place in total poverty, as naked as a newborn. Be totally, utterly poor, bankrupt. Know nothing. Defend nothing. Come to this place bringing nothing at all, and then just wait.
Q: Thank you. |
