The Nature of Consciousness...Rupert Spira

The Ultimate Thought

This is the message
for which humanity awaits..
Thought is recognized
in its limited beauty
yes..as beauty..only when 
this truth is known..

In regard to the question "Am I aware?", from Rupert's book "The Nature of Consciousness: Essays on the Unity of Mind and Matter."

Consciousness First

Consciousness First When it is not placed first science arrives at conclusions which challenge belief.. They claim consciousness as existing in persons and locate multiple universes out there.. This remains a materialist paradigm which..when discovered and Reality is truly experienced will produce the fulfillment of accomplishment which the scientists so diligently are seeking... chaspick@juno.com

NOTE:  Here is  very interesting thinking by highly respected scientists that is validated by Afterlife paradigms.  Quantum science says you ALWAYS have existed and ALWAYS will exist.  Includes a short video by Sir Roger Penrose.   Dr Robert Lanza shares a similar theory.  (from my friend CharlieP)

Dr Robert Lanza shares a similar theory.

He believes our minds exist through energy which is contained in our bodies and is released once our physical beings cease in a process he calls ‘biocentrism’.

As such, when our physical bodies die, the energy of our consciousness could continue on a quantum level.

Dr Lanza says that “there are an infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe”.

As a result, he theorises that the consciousness continues to exist in a parallel universe.

Dr Lanza points to the uncertainty principle – a 1927 theory from German physicist Werner Heisenberg which says that the velocity and position of an object can be measured at the same time.

The scientist stated in an article he penned for Huffington Post: “Consider the uncertainty principle, one of the most famous and important aspects of quantum mechanics. Experiments confirm it’s built into the fabric of reality, but it only makes sense from a biocentric perspective.”

Meditation Made Easy

Meditation Made Easy

Is it really made easy..?
The use of the mantra
engages the mind with an object..
This requires the effort of attention
to the object-breath..instead
of the experience of abiding
or relaxing into
the vastness of Awareness..
The abiding is what is called:
The Direct Experience...

Direct Experience is vital and discovers 
the root of our many ills...!

Comfort in Chaos

Comfort in Chaos

Chaos rises in Comfort

shattering and shaking

in anger and dismay..

These are separation's

resistance and desire

appearing in Comfort

and as Comfort..

Awaiting remembering...

Move it in...

Move it in...

to fresh Now 

and feel it shine..

That STOP sign

appears in separation

awaiting my remembering

to move it in

to the Field

merging as

the Field

where it's been..

But for me

remembering

I move it in 

to shine as NOW...

Jacob's Ladder

Jacob's Ladder

The ladder lives
in the Perennial Tradition..
That is..the Tradition of
knowing the Source
which gives birth to
religions and more..

Biblical stories unfold:
Abraham appears as
open..welcoming..luminous..
Isaac springs from
Abraham's openness
ushered by knife and
sacrifice..

Abraham's heavenly
presence appeared
as Isaac's separation colors..
This is our earthly place 
in time and space 
with its joy and suffering..

Jacob's angelic ladder
completes the circuit
connecting and reminding
providing a snapshot
of each of us standing
as the ladder
separate and whole..






One named Jesus
held our ladder
proclaiming our identity: 
"on earth as in heaven.."
The Perennial Tradition
expressed once more...

Conversation

Conversation

Researchers found a simultaneity
in a conversation

of speaking and listening..

Might they have discovered

that the common Consciousness

as common Listening

contains..from time to time

a speaking vibration
rising in Listening

actually made of Listening...?

Researchers analyzed the brain activity of two strangers who had a conversation for the first time, finding that the movement of their brain waves took place at the same time. 

This pattern is so significant that the researchers were able to find out if two people were having a conversation solely by analyzing their brain waves, and the findings could have applications for cases where people have difficulties with communication.

La Difference!

La Difference!
(also for Robin Izer)

Perceiving and sensing

all those worldly objects

grass seeds and mountains

far-off quasars

and twinges of pain..

Let's  pause..

And..for a moment know

all are vibrations..

all are appearing

within and made of

What you are...

Viva la Difference...!

Expanding

Expanding
(for Robin Izer)

An expanding universe

and even accelerating

the Hubble appearances..

And as metaphor

a model of our Self:

Expanding That in which

our thoughts and perceptions

make their debut..

A thinning of solidity

overcoming resistance..
Expanding..

Dissolving name and thing
shirt and nails and hairs
our togetherness expanding

within That 

discovering only That...

YOU ARE (by Robin Izer)

YOU ARE

for Charlie Coon

You are not

your shirt

nor your nails

nor the hairs

on your head

you are breath

being breathed by

the vibrating stuff

of the universe –

hydrogen, oxygen, carbon

elements of living energy

you are not

your hands

your heart

most of all

you are not your thoughts

though you might think so

you are pure

consciousness streaming

from the center of

the universe which

is both you and everywhere

complete & evolving

at the same nanosecond

wave & particle

wave & drop of water

simultaneously –

being, becoming

still, exploding

into time, out of time

but right now

just here

this presence

our blesséd vibrating together. 7.25.17
