Hello

Hello, not sure if anyone is on the forum to answer this:
Let’s go for a moment that “consciousness” is the only Truth one
can ever know, and from my brief experiences with being solely
in consciousness, I can attest to the fact, that there is
nothing but this live pulsation for lack of a better word and
there is definitely no Crystal/world/mind. It is just “it”. I
cannot make myself go there, it just happens on its own where I
lose any ID with a self. I am assuming this is what you all
call behind the mind. Yes? It is always with us, but we focus
our attention on the world of form instead and believe that to
be where the game is at.
I might be on a dirt road again, so just wanted to get this
clarified if possible, before I pick up that gunny sack and keep
truckin on.

Thanks Frits. Sort of puts a new spin on "much ado about
nothing".

In today's Jedvaita's article below- I can certainly attest to
this as well, that I have that scream and I have never known how
to dissolve it. I know we have discussed this before, just keep
doing SA, pound and holler, look at it all as a dream, it's not
real, etc. Does this ever dissolve? where one can maintain that
equanimity with all that is. Does it dissolve eventually on it's
own, just like being in pure consciousness that happens on it's
own?
excerpt from article 352...
The Scream
I look at people in the standard, outward, things-of-man mode
and I can’t believe they’re not screaming their heads off all
the time. I would be. I’d be peeling off my skin to get out of
that mode and back into my calm, balanced, harmonious, inward
state, back to right-action and right-knowing and effortless
doing, back to the full-spectrum, cocreative dreamstate
integration that is naturally ours when we transition to our
rightful adulthood and settle into our authentic personal
pattern. I know that’s what I’d do because that’s what I did.

Hey Crystal, it's been just over 9 years since my mind stopped;
the tornado sucked back up in the cloud or Niagara Falls stopped
roaring or the civil war ended or the eye of the storm became
this existence... pick a metaphor. You won't know what thats
like until it happens to your mind and when it does, it happens
across the entire universe because how you experience the
universe is exactly, 100% unified with how your mind works (or
doesn't).
This mind got there because it was tired of screaming (living in
hell) and it was either going to pull the trigger or find a way
to flip the switch. I had been searching my whole life but not
correctly, I searched like a drug addict searches; only for the
next quick fix, I found it in religion at times and in new age
thinking, in the "personal empowerment" movement for awhile and
then back to the self help isle at Barnes and Noble for a change
of pace... each fix made me think "I" was doing better and that
"I" had "made progress" and "I" could "reach for my dreams"
again... only to eventually find myself in a proverbial
emotional pile up on a make believe freeway somewhere in my
mind, devastated by the injustice of existence and how it
"always happened to little old innocent victim me".
Stuck in that paradigm is it any wonder that the reality of no
"I" could never, ever drop in? When the paradigm you exist in
begins with "I" and ends with "I" how in the world could one
ever flip the "no I" switch? It's actually not possible and
that's why the 99.99999999% never do.
And yet, it does happen. This existence, typing these words is
proof positive here, that it can happen. How did "Self" escape
"I"ness? I don't know. I just kept asking questions of Ken/Jed
but mostly of myself. I remember my existence starting to get
shaky as I started to see through all the ways I was and had
been deceiving myself, building a false narrative to create a
sense of my existence here, my importance, my "Specialness" to
quell the screaming little bastard underneath it all. The longer
I kept jettisoning "me" off the boat the more I started to grasp
at things to support my make believe world that I could feel was
falling apart, Ken helped a lot at this point because I would
reach out to him and he would give me nothing while reassuring I
was on the right path. That was important because there is
nothing more terrifying than losing one's "I"ness...
And then it was over, Nine years ago almost to the day, Mind
stopped creating a world of horror for me to be enveloped in.
The world was now totally different... and yet exactly the
same... wrapped in Joy and confused as hell... just putting one
foot in front of the other... picking up a glass and taking a
long drink, put down glass, sense a need to urinate... find
myself moving toward the bathroom... so simple, nothing else...
nothing. Nine years later confusion is gone but Joy has
remained, I don't think about the past other than the occasional
fond remembrance and I don't think about the future other than
to sketch out rough plans for it with little regard or worry as
to how those plans may or may not work out... because it all
works out, every time.
just keep doing SA, pound and holler, look at it all as a dream,
it's not real, etc. Does this ever dissolve?
The only thing above that you could be doing that will help is
S/A, the rest are how it feels to be Done, doing those things
now is just pretending to be Done. Good to know maybe but
nothing to try and do there. S/A is the process of drilling down
on all that is false and eating it piece by horrifying piece...
not whats false in the world or other people, just within you.
Once you get to the end of the falseness of you, tearing apart
the false scaffolding each person creates to form the illusion
of themselves for themselves and ONLY for others insomuch as
those others will reflect it back to you for reinforcement, then
and only then will Grace possibly "flip your switch" to a world
of no "I".
Happened here, so I know it's possible, how to do it? Each
person has to string their own ladder together to get there and
that ladder disappears because there never was a ladder and
there is no "There" there.
Keep digging, this place is available (since Ken isn't) as a
touchstone on the journey because it really is singular in
nature but it helps to hear a friendly voice at times through
the worst of it.
PS. it dissolves when you accept it, acceptance comes when there
is no longer an "I" to reject it... or anything for that matter.

Thank you for your response(s). This is akin to which came first
(the chicken/egg)or (consciousness/body). One has to first
separate them to see the two parts and then integrate as one.
And in just writing that, solves the mystery of the chicken/egg,
they were always one, and consciousness then would have created
everything. Have to sit with this.

Yes, and... The chicken and the egg (Consciousness/Body), things
your empirical mind thinks it knows... it does not. Jettison
everything you think you know! They are just pieces of the great
mystery, the answer to which everyone is frantically searching
for... except the few who have found... and what did they find?
Merrily merrily merrily merrily...
PS. One caveat to my diatribe above, I wouldn't say Joy has been
ever present these very short nine years since mind stopped
endlessly ruminating, it's been more of a consistent
contentedness along with intermittent bursts of Joy as well as
the occasional "cleanup on isle 4" when I've been sucked back
into the dream for a moment. Over time I'd say the cleanups are
fewer and farther between and the moments of Joy a little more
frequent, that's just my sense of things, I didn't want anyone
to think it's bliss bunny central over here. ;)

Thanks Plato for your dose of honesty that dealing with certain
things still causes distress. Maybe you can help with this, our
city council just raised our taxes, and then a few days later,
announced that they just gave themselves a raise. This is an eg
of where I have the scream and no idea how to dissolve this
anger. Any advice? And thank you.

They raised our taxes too, outlandishly it seemed, so I went
down with my evidence of why I thought it was wrong and we came
to an agreement, higher than I liked but lower than what they
tried to get. Our mayor tried to change the laws so she could
rent a property she owns to a business (not zoned properly)
people wrote notes and complained at zoning meetings and such, I
just watched it unfold, didn't say anything... now half the town
hates the other half because of the positions they each took and
the horrible things they said to and about each other on
Facebook and elsewhere.
No one hates me because I didn't say anything, I know which way
I will vote in the next election but currently I'm Switzerland:
I get along with and talk to everyone, people in power are there
for a reason, to facilitate their agenda and get more power,
once you know that you don't have to be mad at them, they are
just doing what the community allows for those types of people,
you want to do that? Then join in, you don't? then let them play
their game and you do something else... No big deal.
