You sound as though you think you're reporting what
Robin has said about his experience of Unity, but you
aren't.

Whatever that might mean.

What a peculiar way to put it, "seems quite aware," as if
I hadn't pointed it out over and over, including several
times to Xeno. Goodness knows Robin has said it dozens of
times.

I'm quite sure it wasn't "fake," because Robin doesn't
do faking.

Other than that, I don't quite understand why Xeno would
expect me to "feel about" Robin's experience in some
particular way. I have no reason to doubt what he says
about it. Certainly none of the purported reasons to call
it into question that have been proposed here seem even
remotely definitive. In most cases the folks proposing
them (including Xeno) haven't even bothered to read what
Robin has said about his experience. Why it should even
be a matter of contention, I can't figure out.

Uh-oh, that sounds like you're stating that Robin didn't
get to unity as if it were an established fact. It's not.

Well, since I  suffered from a pain disorder for the past 13 
years, I can tell you that this 'painful' part of you is 
your "lower self".

You first got to consult a neurologist and get your nervous 
system examined.  As for the 'depression' chemical imbalance 
in the brain is the usual cause.

This is a job for a neurologist and not a psychiatrist.  I 
too was first refered to a psych and he had no clue before a 
general physician refered me to a neurologist.

For me reality is synonymous with the existence, the objective reality,
whatever the mind and senses can grasp in line with the Upanishads that the
seed has become the tree, the creator has become the creation. I won't
comment on Robin's views - but yes waking state is real, no personal God
that I see that exists for me. I define God as a mysterious, organic,
dynamic entity - same as existence, reality. Unity did create a powerful
sense of oneness that was ultimately false, not that I wouldn't say I don't
feel one with reality, existence but it is more subjective than anything
objective. I continue to exist as myself, a distinct entity, a unique
expression of reality, of existence, of God. But Unity does trigger a set
of processes that leave one in an elevated state of consciousness but
unless one reconciles this highly subjective state with the objective
reality, heals,integrates, balances it into the waking state, through a
process intellectual inquiry it's useless.

Well, If the state of unity is not 'true' to "reality", then
one has to first define what "reality" actually is.

Robin seems to imply that waking state and a personal god is
more real.

Maybe, you can give us what your definition of what reality
is.

Take for instance mathematics, numbers that extend on the
negative side is as real as numbers on the positive side.
Longitudes on the globe are as real as latitudes. Positrons
are as real as electrons and so on and so forth.

Maybe both are real in some sense?

I was contemplating on whether to reply to Jason on this and Xeno's idiotic
response forces me to respond to this. Xeno - you just need to know when to
keep your big mouth shut man, that Unity is not mystical and it's just some
experience is just your fantasy. You live in an world of words, totally
unreal, in a fantasy that every time you open your fucking mouth you don't
fail to surprise me, you come across as delusional as Barry though Barry is
paranoid and delusional in a clinical sense.

Jason - what Robin is saying is simple - that the state of Unity is not
true to reality, it is ultimately an unreal state not that it's not a valid
state and when I first heard him talk about that and mystical deception I
was impressed because his descriptions totally made sense to me based on my
experiences of Unity.

Unlike what the idiot Xeno says Unity is a most blissful state, no
experience sex, drugs, alcohol, love come anywhere close it, the state on
oneness you feel is the most awesomest, it's like being high on 108 Vodkas
or perhaps sleeping with 72 virgins - so in that sense I totally understand
the religion's description of heaven, they are pretty much describing,
metaphorically the state of Unity.

However the incredible state of oneness the Unity creates is ultimately a
false state, a temporary state and in my case I fell back to the waking
state. But once you hit Unity for all purposes one can be considered
awakened, at least in my case and however incredible Unity is, the main
thing comes afterwards - healing, integrating, balancing the mystical
energies that now have left you in an elevated consciousness into the
normal waking state.

So I totally understand when Robin talks about Unity and mystical
deception, this confirms for me that he was in Unity, otherwise there's no
way he could describe it so beautifully. He's the only one who has made any
sense to me and my experiences,  and this puts him, in my eyes, on a higher
pedestal that any scripture or any Guru. He clearly is speaking from
personal experience  Of course there's lot a what he has said that I don't
necessarily agree with and he's aware of my disagreements but his core
arguments of mystical deception, Unity being incompatible with reality is
totally spot on.

Jason

Other traditions also speak of unity. There is no way to prove it 
unconditionally, it's an experience; no one outside your head has access to 
your experience. This is why consciousness is such a thorny problem for 
science. TM mov't may look looney. It looks looney to me. But meditation, as a 
general practice is one of the setups for unity. It does not cause unity. When 
enough pieces of one's delusion falls away, unity will sneak in unexpected.

Unity is not mystical. It is not an experience that 'one is in unity with 
something else', it's unitary, there is nothing else, there is just 'it', to 
give it the most neutral sounding sense. It does not 'look' any different than 
before it arrived. In that way, it is mysterious and unexplainable because it 
was always there all the time even when you were searching for it.

We do not know, except from his explanations, that Robin was in unity. The way 
he has talked about it makes me think it was something else. One can have a 
sudden 'expansion' of experience and feel that one is somehow out there, that 
parts of the environment, or the whole thing is somehow 'you', the person, but 
that is not unity, but it is something that can happen before the real deal 
arrives, which of course it might not.

I do not know what Judy's thoughts on unity are; she is sort of sparing in that 
sense. She seems quite aware that Robin says he is not now in unity. I do not 
know if she has ever expressed how she feels about that, that either unity is 
impermanent, or that Robin's 'unity' was perhaps fake or some other non-unity 
experience that he interpreted as unity.

Because unity is the exact equivalent of the unenlightened state - that is an 
aspect of the realisation - it is a toss of the dice as to whether it really is 
more real than what came before it. An ultimate paradox. Maharishi said talking 
about this one descends into absurdities. Ultimately one just has to hang out 
with it without trying to explain it.

Robin is just one person. One person failing to get to unity does not negate 
the possibility others have succeeded. Maharishi also said that unity comes 
about 'in time'. It is not a matter of technique by then.

Jason baby - yes I am in a perpetual painfully blissful, depressive manic
state. I have visited psychiatrists and they are surprised that I don't
even cycle and am in these two opposing polarities at the same time, they
say I'm off all DSM charts and shoo me away. I'm sick and tired of this
bullshit Jason, my intellect needs answers. I can't keep going to a
different psychiatrist every week, Gurus are no help either since they call
me grandiose and delusional when I claim myself as Shiva or Krishna and
refer me back to these psychiatrists. Please help me Jason baby.

Your memory is playing you false, I'm afraid. Robin never
said that to you.

Er, no, you've got that very wrong too. I have nothing to
"prove" one way or the other regarding Unity Consciousness
or what Robin has told us of his experience of it (i.e.,
that Unity Consciousness itself is a delusion).

Huh!  How can anyone be in a "painfully blissful" state?
Even Robin with all his oxymoronish contradictions dosen't
come close to this.

He says that the whole thing was a lie and a snare, yet the
Unity was "real".  In fact I remember him telling me last
year that he was "Just passing himself as 'enlightened'."

Old Judy girl bats for him for one simple reason.  She has
to "Prove" that 'Unity consciousness' exists and thereby MMY
was right and so on and so forth.  It's bad news for the TM
mov't if Robbie boy was just in delusion.  It "hurts" Judy's
cause and makes the entire TM mov't look loony.

Awesome dear Share. I have nothing to say about anything else now - I'm in
a totally nervous, above normal vulnerable, painfully blissful, intoxicated
state today. So I need to make sure I continue to focus at work.

Hi Ravi, yes you are a cool and totally cool blast (-:

But Ravi, about Marek:  maybe he has his moronic moments as we all do.  Maybe 
he has his inauthentic moments as we all do.  But I don't think he could do the 
job he does and be moronic by nature.  Nor do I think he could surf if he was 
inauthentic.  Nature's the best reality check.

As for me, I realize I have my non grown up moments.  But I also do my 
spiritual practice, going to the Dome twice a day every day.  I do this no 
matter the weather, no matter my mood.  That's grown up in my book.  I face my 
fears including fear of dying.  That's grown up in my book.  I admit I make 
mistakes.  Also grown up in my book.  I forgive others their mistakes.  Also 
grown up in my book.  etc. etc.
