Look: I never said I got anywhere near SLC. You are established in SLC--and certainly it is as unified as UC. Just please don't shoot any of those helpless stars out of the night sky. ________________________________ From: Robin Carlsen To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 4:32 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] The Experience of Being Enlightened Perfectly Described  "The Lord speaks through him, the omnipresent cosmic life gains expression in his activity, the omniscient is expressed in the limitations of the man's individual personality, the cosmic intelligence finds expression in his individual mind, the thought of cosmic life is materialized in his process of thinking, the immutable silence of eternal Being finds expression in the man's thought, speech and action. The man's eyes behold the purpose of God, his ears hear the music of cosmic life, his hands hold onto cosmic intentions, his feet set the cosmic life in motion; he walks on earth, yet walks in the destiny of heaven; he sees, yet sees the glory of God; he hears, yet hears the silence; he speaks, yet speaks the word of God; he speaks, yet speaks the intention of God; he speaks and draws out the purpose of cosmic life; he speaks and gives expression to the cosmic purpose; he speaks yet his words speak eternal Being. The man is the living expression of the omnipresent, omniscient, cosmic existence. "Here is he who can speak for God, here is he who can speak for the cosmic law, here is he who acts for God, here is the image of God on earth. His life is the stream of cosmic Being. His individual life stream is a tidal wave of the eternal ocean of cosmic Being, a wave which holds within itself the entire ocean of cosmic life. He is the expression of the inexpressible eternal Being. He moves in the ever immovable status of the Absolute; his activity of relative existence expresses the eternal silence of the Absolute. In the radiance of his relative life, the Absolute finds in him an expression of its Being. Angels and gods enjoy his being on earth, and the earth and heavens enjoy the existence of the bliss of eternal Being embodied in the form of man. "The formless appears in form, the silence becomes vibrant, the inexpressible is expressed in a personality, and the cosmic life is breathed by the individual. "This is how, when the breath of the individual becomes the impulse of eternal life, the individuality breathes universal existence, and then is gained the fulfillment of life." The Science of Being and Art of Living by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi There is no exaggeration here; this was my experience on that mountain on Arosa and for ten years after this.
