Words

Rate this Entry
Just let go of your words. They cannot help you here, not anymore. You are beyond words. So why use words? The sun is beyond words. Why use words to describe the sun? Your Self is beyond words. Why do you think your Self should fall under the domain of words? The Soul is beyond words. The sun, your Self, the Soul, are beyond words. Why can you not see them?

Words which do not come from silence are mere disturbances. Words which create suffering are disturbances. Words which eliminate suffering, bondage, are enlightening.

Are there no words which are true? Are we so lost we cannot find what is truth? Neither of these are true.

The truth is beyond words, as are the Soul, the Self, the sun: a river, a tree, a flower, the air, the light, the rain: all are beyond words by a whole dimension. And the nature of the mind is pure, open, expansive, all-encompassing. We think, we think, we think, and yet we are cut-off from knowledge. Thinking does not always lead to knowledge. We have to strive for knowledge to attain knowledge.

Though we are bound, we may be free.
Though we suffer, we may be free from suffering.
Though we do not see the light, we may become fixed in the light.
Though we do not know our source, we may become enlightened, and experience our source in full.
Though we do not know the Self, or the Soul,
we may experience the Source in full,
as the Self, the Source, the Soul, is the center from which we seek.

Reality is that which cannot be destroyed.
We are also that which cannot be destroyed.
Reality cannot be separated from the source of reality.
Reality transcends time, and as we are part of reality, so do we transcend time.
All that occurs, eternally occurs.

Actions have power. Act for good.
Words have power. Speak life.
Thoughts have power. Only think that which you wish to have in your life.




A river is beyond words, water is beyond words.
Reality is beyond words.
Do not speak as if to sever one from reality,
as if to say, one does not see reality.
All see reality, and all part of reality.
Even if one does not see reality completely pure,
yet they do see it pure,
because they are part of reality,
their thought constructs are part of reality,
all is part of reality so we cannot say anything false of reality.

The deepest understanding of reality cannot be expressed in words, yet it is the highest state of consciousness attainable.
You and I are and all things are part of the universe, nature, the cosmos, reality, and the source of reality.
All these things are beyond, or transcendental to time.
We are not aware of the highest understanding of reality - well, how would we, if we have never searched?
But search, it is attainable, entirely attainable, though it takes so long.
Being part of the perfect, infinite truth of the source of reality, we are complete and whole as well, though we think we are not; and being part of it, we are not satsified until we have completely understood the highest truth.
This is why we search for God.

The highest understanding teaches this,
to follow one's heart.
Surety is necessary for sanity.
We are not separate from our source:
but we feel we do. But we cannot attain unending peace until we know with surety, until we know fully our source.


We have glimpses of transcendent reality in brief periods, during meditation, for example.
These in fact are real, and these states of consciousness are states of knowing reality, and they can be known and experienced all the time.
Simply, we have to create our consciousness by our actions, words, and thoughts, and by what we hear, see and think.
Consciousness is a continuum, mind follows mind,
and we have to seek our source, viligantly, strive for it greatly, to find it and experience it fully.
I am speaking these things merely because I have seen truth and I know that we are capable of attaining Truth-consciousness, capable of knowing and being Truth-consciousness.
This Truth-consciousness is also the source of all which exists,
it's eternal existence, consciousness, and bliss;
it is one, and infinite, the source,
and it is attracting all in the universe.
It is not personal or impersonal,
and it is personal and impersonal.
It is beyond all of these terms.
It is and is not all of them.

One might think since it does not match with these categories it is less than real. But nothing matches with these categories! Not the river, not the sun, not the self, the soul, the mind, the cosmos, the universe, or reality. None of these match those categories. All are beyond them. We ourselves are not a limited self, but part of the ocean of all selves, which are all connected to each other, all interdependent, and all part of the Over-Soul, as Emerson writes, the eternal ONE, the universal beauty.

This is real. It is not all which is real, though in a way it is, as it is the source of all, and in it all is contained. But anything which denies this is not true. Anything which denies this denies not a false thing, a hallucination, but it denies the Highest. Falsity exists because of falsity, nor does falsity prove the non-existence of the Highest.

I am not the writer of this post, for I die each instant and am new each instant. But I will read this post, with interest... consider what is written, what I know, what it means for me. I will consider it, considering what I know also, with great interest. I will consider what bounds shackle me, and what ground I stand on, I will seek my source, and I will consider my source. I will consider if there are thoughts, if they cause distress or if they are positive formations. I will consider what is the nature of the mind, if it is like a wide ocean, pure, like a clear sky, boundless.

What do you know?
