God is Alive, God is Alive, there is no god but God, God is the Most Great, God is the Most Glorious! -------- You approach God through Submission and Obedience, this is why Islam (Submission to God) is the True Religion of man, since the beginning of time. Man's Existence is to submit to God. Non-duality is garbage and filth. Love is important too, but that shit usually comes in the end, but when it first comes (you saying to God, sincerely, you love Him) then rejoice.

I found that going into a busy place (Casino's are the best so far since I'm not drawn to gambling) and I go in with the state of mind of focusing on energy which is Love. I tap into the energy and watch the distracted people who rarely notice me because of their distraction and feel the calling to find different people that have receptivity for approach. It isn't necessarily the conversation that ensues but the freedom to experience Presence and practice it in busy places. It is helping with awareness. It has helped immensely. I also don't trap myself in shallow conversation and it's a place where short lived is easily attainable because there are no projected expectations on Self.

1. "Awareness cannot exist with duality, and mind cannot exist without duality. Awareness is non-dual, and mind is dual. 2. If you go outwards you will move into the world of duality. If you go inwards you will move into the world of non-duality; you will become non-polar. 3. Enlightenment is the realization of the non-dual. 4. When there is I, it creates thou. When there is I it creates duality, and all is lost in duality. When there is no I, then there is non-duality. Then you are one with existence, utterly one. Then you are nothing but a pulsation of existence itself, just a ripple in the lake of this infinite consciousness. 5. If you are divided in two, into man and woman, negative/ positive, darkness/light, mind/heart, thought/feeling - if you are divided in two, your energy will be going downward. Division is the way of the downward. When you are undivided, one, you start moving upward. To be one is to move upward, to be two is to move downward. Duality is the way to hell, non-duality is the way to heaven. 6. These are the two planes of humanity: duality, the plane of duality, what Hindus call DWAITA, the plane of two; and non-duality, the plane of one, the plane of the non-dual. When you are divided you are in this world; when you are undivided, you have transcended - you are no longer here, you have penetrated into the Beyond. Then boundaries meet and the boundaries meet in you. So the whole effort is how to become undivided, how to become one. 7. This has to be the criterion whether you have reached the goal or not. If there is still something as its polar opposite, you have not reached; you are still in the duality. One can move from one duality to another duality; it does not make any change. One has to move from duality to non-duality, because non-duality is the ultimate. The ultimate has no opposite to it. It is the final synthesis where all opposites have melted into one, when male and female have melted into one. 8. REMEMBER, when we use the word „oneness‟, that too is part of duality. If there is no duality how can there be oneness? That‟s why Hindus never use „oneness‟. If you ask Shankara, “What is the nature of existence?” he says, “Non-dual, ADVAITA, not two.” He will never say one, because how can you say one? If there is only one, how can you say one? One needs two to be meaningful. If there is no possibility of the second, of the two, then what is the use of saying that it is one? Shankara says, “At the most, I can say not two, but I cannot say positively one. I can say what the reality is not: it is not two. I cannot say what it is, because meaning, words, all become useless.” 9. Enlightenment simply means you disappear, you become the whole. There is no question of separation or no separation. There is no question of oneness, because even the word `oneness‟ hides behind it twoness. What do you mean when you say oneness? - you mean twoness. The mystics have avoided using the word `oneness‟, but you cannot. In the very nature of intellectual understanding you can go a little roundabout - and that‟s what people like Shankara have done. They talk about non-duality, no-twoness; they don‟t talk about oneness. They want to indicate oneness, but they don‟t want to use the word `oneness‟ because oneness points towards twoness. 10. Enlightenment means the point from where you take a jump into the non-dual. Before that point is duality. Everything is divided. 11. Language creates duality, language exists through duality. It cannot indicate the non-dual. If I say „day‟, immediately I create night. If I say „life‟, immediately I create death. If I say „good‟, immediately bad is created. If I say „no‟, just by the side of the no, yes is existing. Language can exist only through the opposite. That‟s why we see life as always divided - God and devil. Drop language, drop this linguistic pattern. Once language is no more on your mind and you look directly into reality, day IS night. Suddenly you will start laughing at why you missed it so long! Day, every day turns into night; night turns into day every morning again, and you have been missing. Life is always turning into death, death always turns again into life, and you have been missing. They are not two, they are one whole. This is the non-dual, ADWAITA. This is the most essential religion. 12. The first layer is called the objective and the second layer is called the subjective. But beyond both there is a witness which can watch both the body and the mind, the material and the nonmaterial. This witness, this consciousness, this awareness, is beyond both. It is neither material nor non-material, because it is beyond both. And you cannot go beyond it. You cannot witness it. You have come to the very end of the rope, you have come to the very bottom of existence. This awareness is called the transcendental, because it transcends the duality of body-mind. And to be centered in it, you have come home, because there is no way beyond it. Here ends the road. 13. When you don‟t have a choice, you are already transcendental. You have transcended. Then the duality doesn‟t divide you. You remain undivided. And this is ADWAIT; this is what Shankara means when he says „nondualism‟; this is what the Upanishads teach: to be non-dual, to be one. To be one means not to choose, because once you choose your choice divides you. You say,‟I would like to be happy, and I don‟t want to be unhappy‟; you are divided. You simply say,‟Whatsoever happens, everything is welcome. My doors are open. Sadness comes; come be my guest. Happiness comes; come be my guest. I will be a host to everything, with no rejection, with no choice, with no like, no dislike.‟ Suddenly, nobody can divide you. You have attained to an inner unity, to an inner melody, to an inner music, an inner harmony. 14. All duality is a mind creation, all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality. When you want something to happen according to you, and it doesn‟t happen, duality arises. When you are ready to relax with everything as it happens, where is the duality? Somebody insults you and you say thank you. Your woman leaves you and you go and give her a good send-off. Where is the duality? Richness comes and you enjoy it. And one day you are poor and you enjoy poverty. Where is the duality? If you can enjoy all that happens, if you can enjoy the roses that are always there and you don‟t count the thorns, then where is the duality? Then the mind becomes non-dual. Then all fragments disappear, then a great oneness arises in you. But it cannot be called „oneness‟. 15. Really, any authentic religious mind lives in a non-duality, not in a duality. For really authentic religion there is no duality between consciousness and body, no duality between the divine and the world, no duality between mind and matter; the duality is just a mental construct. Duality exists nowhere, the whole is one. If we take it as two, or if it appears to us as two, it is because of our way of looking, not because it is so. Through senses it appears to us as matter, and through a non-sensuous approach it appears as mind, as consciousness. But it is one! Matter is just a very deeply asleep consciousness; consciousness is just awakened matter. Matter becomes conscious. So a stone by your side is just in a deep sleep, a very deep sleep of a mind. It may take millennia for it to be awake, but it is. Even in a stone, deep down a soul is asleep, a possible consciousness is there, a potential consciousness is there. And even in you, it has come only to an awakening - it is there. Matter and mind are two states of one thing, of one phenomenon: asleep it is matter, awakened it is mind. 16. In ordinary life with the ordinary mind everything is divided into its opposites, and there is a great attraction for meeting with the opposite: the man seeks the woman, the woman seeks the man - the yin-yang circle. In a religious man all search has stopped - the man has found the woman, the woman has found the man. In his innermost core the energy has come to a point where everything has dissolved into oneness, into non-duality, ADVAIT. All opposites become complementaries; all conflicts dissolve and become co-operation. Then you have come home, then there is no need to go anywhere, then there is nothing to be sought, nothing to be desired. This state is the state of God. God is a state, God is not an object. And God is not even a person, because God is neither objective nor subjective. God is transcendental. 18. Drop all duality, be non-dual. Drop all division. Just be individual. !f you belong to me then you belong to the transcendental. That is the whole meaning of being initiated by me. I bring you the transcendental, I bring you the ultimate, I bring you that which cannot be seen on the outside, that which cannot be seen on the inside but you can become that because you are already that."

We have been identifying our thoughts as 'I'.. All you have to do is to be aware of the thought and body collectively, no matter what the thought.. The moment we try to change, analyse, suppress or run from the thought, we are giving power to the thought of making it reality and that's how we start identifying the thought as "me".. Abiding as awareness simply means to be aware without judging the thought itself, let the thought flower and wither away, once the thought vanishes, you would be aware of the emptiness that the thought leaves behind.. This mind and body will keep on doing its thing by itself as we abide in awareness without our interference..

I have found that it is much easier for me to recall frequently that I need to stay centered. I used a timer watch and my phone for a while to remind me, then I just got better at remembering when the pace of life slackened even for a bit...to re-center myself. The re-centering I have found is OM or most often for me...from the Song of the Sannyasin...OM, tat sat, OM. Depending upon how perturbed I find myself, I recite this 1-5 times with or without my eyes closed depending upon circumstances (e.g. driving). I am not to the point where I can see God constantly in the streaming of my experience but as Rumi says..."I flow down and down in always widening rings of being".

We are the BEINGNESS that is lovingly called to meet all disturbances with understanding and compassion. Disturbance is rising up to be neutralized with LOVE. Be THIS. All disturbance is simply an opportunity to bring Love's clarity, surrender, forgiveness and acceptance..... not more disturbance. It's also okay to complain about and reject disturbances, but that will only perpetuate more disturbances and complaints. Surrender to being disturbed, and allow this disturbance to stay as long as it likes. Just BE with it. Remember what YOU are. You are the FULFILLMENT already. Claim it now.

Discipline comes with being human.

The questioner asks ‘how to maintain this state?’ Spira answers: Patience, practice, love. This is common advice, but never works. The societal conditioning is so strong and is constantly reinforced. You can only maintain the feeling of connectedness and awareness by becoming free from the mind. Which usually requires a completely different approach. Once youre free of the surface mind, you work to be free of the deep mind (emotions). Love is not a feeling or a technique, it is your true nature. Next, you become free of the sense of self entirely. I am at that stage so Im informing you from experience. Reading that sentence might make you angry. I know how frustrating it is to be trapped in a world of mental constructs. The ego flares in self defense throughout the day. After all, the mind and ego are survival mechanisms, nothing more. The path to egolessness is the path to death. If that does not frighten you, then you are ready to make progress. If you respond there is no ‘you’ and no possible progress, then Im sorry to say youre only fooling yourself, the bull has tamed you instead of you taming it. A fully awakened being with no sense of self does not scroll through youtube comments.

(Wholeness) If one asks 'why i won't be aware of the wholeness in our worldly transactions?', The straight answer is; 'RESISTANCE! (likes-dislikes)', Soon we resist, division just there, where there's division there's no wholeness, so, no FEELING of LOVE! oneSELF can't drop the tendency of 'RESISTING' unless there's proper UNDERSTANDING of LIFE!, so keep reading, listening, keep contemplating (shravana-manana)

Meditation is never necessary because the intelligent species requires to evolve like its been doing for aeons, not sit in meditation and learn nothing. The intelligent species does not need to practice anything because its imprinted knowledge is just that, imprinted. The intelligent species is not nonduality, it is duality in many ways and one important factor of it's duality is it's symbiotic relationship with elements and biology, no god had hand in that process. Unfortunately Guru's and Teachers have no clue how duality derived and Form to give rise to the intelligent species physical body and brain.

If its from your imprinted knowledge, then I know you have been enlightened by it and without you even realising it, but, if it came from your physical brain, then that has only come from something you have learned and/or deemed to be true. Your summation that we were formed in the wombs of our mother is correct, but, what gave rise to implement a reproduction process for a being BORN process. The Form in the Womb is the result of a SOURCE that FORMED at its inception at an epoch prior to the intelligent species physical body and brain being a being. Quote, " am I missing something here". I am hoping that is a question coming from your imprinted knowledge, because that would tell me your Form Source within is relaying information of knowing to your physical brain. What I am saying is something is prompting you to know and here is the opportunity to know what you think you always knew maybe, because you cant put your finger on it. If you expect me to tell you what that Form is, that is not a problem, but not right. However I can confirm if you are correct what you think that Form is, that way I would know that it is coming from your imprinted knowledge.
