Experience – 1/15/2018 How Being Comes to Eclipse All Other Experience This is a further elaboration on how the daily experience of pure consciousness in my life essentially wipes away waking, dreaming, and sleeping altogether. It is perfectly true now that I cannot say I am ever awake, ever asleep or ever dreaming. Because those states are entirely and perfectly and totally eclipsed by the ongoing experience of pure consciousness in my awareness. It is my one and only state of awareness 24/7. And that is why there is truly never any sense either of falling asleep or of waking up. It has all been blended seamlessly, smoothly, and entirely into only one thing, total and complete awareness of Being. It is what lights my awareness during activity, during sleep, and during dreaming. And it lights it so totally, that it can only be said, that is all there ever is. This did not happen immediately after CC presented itself. This is the condition into which the dawning of CC grew inexorably over time. And it happened so gradually, I only became aware of it in stages. We say that Being or pure consciousness is very subtle. And it is. But the subtleness of the experience belies the huge power behind it that grows to be more and more dominant each day…more and more dominant, more and more total, more and more powerful, more and more and more undeniably the totality of one’s experience until there is nothing more to say about it. It IS your experience and very much IS who you are. It IS the nature of everything. And somehow bundled into it all is divine presence. The evolution of this experience is quite different from what I expected. And that is because there was no way to even imagine how this would unfold. No way to imagine it. Trying to put words to it at most points in the direction of the reality of it, but words cannot touch its essence. Words cannot begin to touch the powerful essence of it, the overwhelming reality of it…even the subtleness of its subtlety. In that sense, it seems to be a paradox. How can something so immensely subtle and beyond the senses come to be so powerfully all pervasive and dominant? Also: It seems that God has become the very essence of my Being. That is to say it is utterly impossible to separate him from myself. He is the essence of who I am. That probably sounds grander than it feels. It is such a subtle experience and yet so undeniable. I am literally unable to conceive of him as a separate being. If I seek Him to converse with or ask for his help, I cannot find him anywhere but in me...or, perhaps it’s more like I am on Him. Either statement is equally true. Jai Guru Dev
