Changeless Eternity

[Dan_SF]

This is a small thought which i would like to share with you.

I always have imagined the Changelessness of the Eternity as something static, something like a picture or stone, which never changes.
It sounds almost unimaginable how time and life could be split of it.

But recently i have discovered that the changeless is not in the volume, but that the eternity is in an ever increasing state.
It means that it can not not increase.

As i have discovered this, it felt like a heavy block was removed from my mind.

Thanks for reading.

Time and life are not "split" from the changeless eternity, they are only minor segments of it.

Such concepts are simply those things that allow you to understand and relate to yourself in such a limited approach-- There is something beyond eternity--

Hi Dan, this is something I came to years ago, it was outlook-changing for sure. I think because so much of what I was programmed to understand about life, existence and spirit, was so limiting. Those limiting beliefs lead to a lot of fear in my life. But this new realization freed me from that fear. And one of the first manifestations of this new way of seeing life, had to do with understanding that we are eternal souls. We live forever and incarnate many times. I learned to see there is nothing to fear in our living life. It's not a matter of whether we succeed or fail. It is all about the doing and the experience. That is how we grow/increase in our soul life.

There is a small verse at the start of the Isa Upanishad:

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

Om Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Purnnam-Udacyate
Puurnnasya Puurnnam-Aadaaya Puurnnam-Eva-Avashissyate ||
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||

Meaning:
1: Om, That (Outer World) is Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); This (Inner World) is also Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); From Purna comes Purna (From the Fullness of Divine Consciousness the World is manifested) ,
2: Taking Purna from Purna, Purna Indeed Remains (Because Divine Consciousness is Non-Dual and Infinite).
3: Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

My Commentary:

There's nothing much we can say about this Mantra because it's all pretty much self-explanatory, even though it's also one of the most confusing Mantras there is if you allow yourself to actually think about it too much.

On the most basic level, it's that everything exists purely as it is, was and always shall be and the passage of time is relative, as Einstein said.

It describes the concept known as Brahman, or the subjective and experiential realisation of a superconscious state that is totally 'full' (Purna), in and of itself.

It is comprised of no 'parts' because it is 'whole' (Purna) within itself and nothing can be removed from it because there is no 'removal' and nothing can be added to it because there is no addition.

It's a mantra that shows the absolute limit we can go to in trying to describe, in words, what "it' actually is....when there is no actuation.

I still like to come down to earth and say "I am a part of God" and "I am a part of the whole" because it allows me to open up and feel the love I have for God and the relationship between mental constructs which elicit all these emotional responses.

I can drown in the sea of love or I can swim in it and I chose the latter, even though the former is very nice too, so I am exercising this 'free will' I only think I have, but I can remain in total detached awareness about it all too, which is cool.
