FEAR
FEAR
KAHLIL GIBRAN
///
IT IS SAID THAT BEFORE ENTERING THE SEA, A RIVER TREMBLES WITH FEAR.
SHE LOOKS BACK AT THE PATH SHE HAS TRAVELED FROM THE PEAKS OF THE MOUNTAINS, THE LONG WINDING ROADS CROSSING FORESTS AND VILLAGES.
AND IN FRONT OF HER SHE SEES THE OCEAN SO VAST THAT TO ENTER THERE SEEMS NOTHING MORE THAT TO DISAPPEAR FOREVER.
BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. THE RIVER CANNOT GO BACK. NO BODY CAN GO BACK. TO GO BACK IS IMPOSSIBLE IN EXISTENCE.
THE RIVER NEEDS TO TAKE THE RISK OF ENTERING THE OCEAN. BECAUSE ONLY THEN WILL THE FEAR DISAPPEAR BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE RIVER WILL KNOW ITS NOT ABOUT DISAPPEARING INTO THE OCEAN, BUT OF BECOMING THE OCEAN.
///
How well this resonates with the Seeker, who trembles before letting it go totally to become the "SOUGHT"
No going back, No going forward, the wise say just be "Here & Now" - and disappear in the ocean of Consciousness

He tied his student to a chair and walked away and left him.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Hello
isn't this the story of each of us. The Source has tied us to the chair of the phenomenal world and walked away

Ah! But the source never asked us to identify our consciousness with the phenomena, much less stagnate therein

LOL! Good one. ..as I see it He let us loose in a looney bin, my friend...
this psycho planet and sat back to watch, unless we directly ask Him to intervene.
Just like a landlord can't come into his property that you rent ...
unless you invite him in.

There is not any cosmic source{s} that ask questions.
There is only humans who ask questions regarding whether a source exists, despite there being no evidence of a cosmic source and certainly no observation of a cosmic source.

Can you back this up?
I will accept direct experience.
I will accept you saying you have sat for hours for decades and saw nothing...
No Being came to you, nothing happened...you tried 'everything'...and you have talked to many many many people ...
none saying that have observed a Cosmic Source.
And then I would give you my testimony.
And possibly present many NDEs that would concur.
