    Re: T-O-E ''The One Everything''

    "I think, therfore I am."
    I think I am not, therefore I am not.

    I, is a part of it, but it is not me or a part of me. But when I shake it up, it turns me into we ,and I into it, and it into me.

    Who am I think that it is me?
    Who am I to think that is not me?

    What is it in me that thinks? The I which is, a part of it, or the me which is the part of I? Eye can't seem to think straight.
    We are more than we think we are, and less of what we think.
    I don't think I can make a difference, but I do think we can make a difference.

    What is the difference in making a difference in the last sentence? It, seems to be what I think it is, not what I desire it to be.

    (edit)
    It ain't me, I, had nothing to do with ... it.

    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...

    Experiencing God is something that is genuine, and comes only when you transcend mind. God cannot be understood by mind, because mind is matter; and matter cannot possibly understand something that is more subtle than matter.

    Not inside knowledge, not outside knowledge, not knowledge itself, not ignorance.

    Its all expressed in the negative; you can't grasp it, you can't think of it, you can't mark it with a symbol; it has no name or form and you can't explain it.

    Hundreds of people might sit in front of someone and he might talk for hours and hours about God. They might sit and listen for hours and hours but it is all nonsense. Yes. He has said nothing about God, and they have heard nothing about God. He has only said something about the God that he could fit into his own mind, and they have only understood the God that they could grasp with their own minds. That's all. Nobody has said anything about the real God and noone has understood the real God. It's unexplainable.

    So when you transcend the mind you gain a knowledge that is realization. For that the mind must be completely silent. Because only in silence can it be explained.

    The Parabrahma tattvam, or unmanifested supreme principle, can only be explained by silence, not by words. In not only the physical silence, but in the real mental silence, the wisdom dawns.

    In that silence everything dies away and there is no more coming back as an ordinary person, ignorant of your true nature.

    When you come to this stage you always retain this knowledge. In this state you become a jivanmukta, a realized saint Jivan means one who lives; mukta means liberated, so such a person is a liberated living being. You live, eat, and talk like anybody else, even do business like anybody else, but still you are liberated.

    Imagine a circle.
    Inside the circle (contacted/manifest) is the finite.
    Outside the circle is the infinite/unmanifest.

    My mind AUMmmmmms (and the universe hums with this primordial frequency, therefore thoughts arise in it. Relative consciousness gives it form or meaning, to the salient vibrations, based on colloquialism of ones individual conditioning and enculturation, and there, simultaneously, is where our ego arises. The ego sense or "I".

    Re: T-O-E ''The One Everything''

    Perhaps, if you would have remained silent, I would have understood what you have said, but not understood.

    Ommmm

    I am one with, by being one without, understanding.

    Ommmm

    Re: T-O-E ''The One Everything''

    I Am The Perfection


    I am the perfection
    Of Life,
    Total, complete,
    And whole.
    I am vast,
    Boundless,
    Expansive,and limitless,
    I contain all
    That is,
    All that has been,
    All that can become.

    I am endless transformation
    The creative essence,
    The substance of form,
    The ocean of all possibilities,
    The infinitely large,
    And the infinitely small
    Swirl within me.

    I contain all moments,
    Minutes, hours, and seconds,
    Yet I am timeless, eternal,
    And beyond measure,
    I am with you always,
    Yet you cannot find me.
    I am your body,
    Yet you cannot touch me.
    I am your mind,
    Yet your thoughts
    Cannot contain me.
    I am your emotions,
    Yet pleasure and pain
    Vanish in my complete Bliss.

    I am sight, light, and eye,
    Yet I cannot be described.
    All that is I Am
    All that is I Am
    All that is I am.
    You and I
    I and You
    No difference
    No other,
    One Life
    Is All
    I am.

    Four monks gathered to meditate upon the silence.
    One began swaying and humming aloud.
    A second said; "The point of meditation is to be one with the silence."
    A third monk said; "Stop bickering and be quiet you two!"
    The fourth said "Ha! 'I' am the only one who has been quiet."

    Lol Meem,
    looks like the yokes on you!

    Show me a man who has gone beyond words
    That I might have a word with him. ~Jallaladin Rumi

    When reading the scriptures, we slowly rise up, expanding and enlarging our mind. The more we elevate the mind, the better our understanding is. But only when we become prophets ourselves will we fully understand the scriptures. That is natures law. If you you want to fully understand me, you must become me. Otherwise, you can only understand me according to your own capacity.

    In the same way, God cannot be understood by books alone. He can only be understood when you become God. A Tamil proverb says, "Only a saint knows another saint. Only a snake knows the leg of another snake." You cannot exactly understand how a snake crawls unless you become a snake. We can hear things, study, form our own opinion, use our imagination, but nothing can equal experience.


    All that you know through the mind is limited and conditioned. How is the limited mind to understand the unlimited One? Only by by transcending it and getting into the unlimited.

    The last part of Yoga is simple but great.
    It is surrendering to the Supreme Being.
