consciousness identifying with the mind is like fire identifying with firewood

i've been from tucumcari to nonduality

self-awareness like a total eclipse

The moon shining on the sun is called absolution (enlightenment).

The moon shining on the earth is called consciousness.

The mind is this highly-advanced subtle body of Maya capable of reflecting consciousness

Talks on Aparoksanubhuti 56-58: the real seer

Thus these three states are considered to be unreal, creations of the three primal attributes. The real seer is beyond all attributes, that one consciousness, the Self. ~Aparoksanubhuti 58

Upon waking, the dream state disappears. In dreaming, there is no waking state. Both are non-existent in deep sleep while deep sleep is unavailable in both. ~Aparoksanubhuti 57

However much an experience this practical world seems to be, it is unsubstantial like a dream with all its momentary contradictions. ~Aparoksanubhuti 56

my Advaita Makaranda (a work in progress) www.aumdada.com/2025/11/my-a...

There is no drying, burning, wetting, cutting, or dividing that space of awareness. The real is untouched by wind, fire, water, weapons, or other instruments of illusion. ~my Advaita Makaranda 5

I always know myself. Without parts, origination, shelter, or support, I am indestructible. ~my Advaita Makaranda 4

Rising in myself alone, that space of consciousness, is this universe like a castle in the sky. Thus how can I not be Brahman, all-knowing and the cause of all? ~my Advaita Makaranda 3

remember the fifth of november. john lennon paved the way for the sopranos finale.

"that does not compute"

Altaring Consciousness

if the sun is pure consciousness, and the moon is reflected consciousness, the earth is like the jimi hendrix experience

body, ego, god, and dna

the binary universe is an appearance in nonduality

reality is inconceivable. duality is a misconception.

There is no atman but paramatman— for paramatman is the satcitananda of any other so-called atman— physical, subtle, omniscient, or seed— body, ego, god, and dna.

Imagining the slightest difference between an individual self and the Supreme Self is the undertaking of a foolish mind and certain to invite much fear and loathing. ~Aparoksanubhuti 52

I am. Always I illumine. Never am I unbeloved. For I am Brahman alone and my nature is satcitananda. ~my Advaita Makaranda 2

Is the mind a reflection of consciousness or is consciousness that in which the mind appears? Most identify with mind. Such maya is beginningless. Identifying with consciousness takes some practice.

from The Aparok Opera Experience

after fire, time zones are the greatest human discovery

They say namarupa is 40% of maya. The reflection of satcitananda makes up the rest. Differentiate the real from unreal and see this dream is just conditioned mind reflecting in the lake of pure consciousness.

Talks on Aparoksanubhuti 49-51: born of Brahman

Whatever's created from gold is always gold. And too, whoever is born of Brahman is always of the nature of Brahman. ~Ap51

All various names and forms are Brahman alone. All activity is similarly sustained. This is divine revelation. ~Ap50

All beings are born of Brahman, Paramatman. Therefore one should understand they are Brahman alone. ~Aparoksanubhuti 49

there are two states of dreaming and three states of sleeping

These talks are mostly transcreations of select translations. These talks are written in the language of poetry. These talks are points of view from peaks of nonduality.

love makes dreaming feel real. just thinking about it is a nightmare.

Everything appears in consciousness. This is our direct experience. It's literally the meaning of Aparoksanubhuti. No scientific theory need apply. All thought appears in consciousness too.

In the one consciousness, there can be no division. All individuality is in vain. It's like a snake mistakenly seen in the rope. ~Aparoksanubhuti 43

Talks on Aparoksanubhuti 25-28

Either everything is myself or none of it. That's the nature of reflection. All dreams are in the mind and of the mind including the waking state. There's consciousness only no matter what you want to believe.

have you ever noticed consciousness never grows old?

The Aparoksanubhuti is like a rock opera and 25-28 is one of its gospel songs. It's like the opposite of Urge for Going which I thought about today as fall is falling down out there. Materialism is the blues but consciousness is gospel.

Immaculate, immovable, unadulterated, I am ageless and immortal. This is what the wise call real knowledge. ~Aparoksanubhuti 28

Conditionless, actionless, endless, I am unbound. This is what the wise call real knowledge. ~Aparoksanubhuti 27

Afflictionless, reflectionless, conceptionless, I am all-pervading. This is what the wise call real knowledge. ~Aparoksanubhuti 26
