In our state of differentiated perception, we tend to be enraptured with colours of the rainbow, oblivious to the white light wherefrom prismatic refraction occurred, just as we are oriented not to notice not space but rather objects contained therein.

Well as I see it we are all so connected and receive from so many beautiful perspectives because we are "playing" as individuals, although we each have a unique song to sing if we give it half a chance. It is so beautiful to hear the divine voices of each other. All original and fresh.

Chapter 1, verse 39

“Even my natural self appears to me as non-distinct from the supreme Self; it appears to be one and like space. How can there be meditator and meditation?”


beginning at the end of our understanding
globe of love and light of God is all that is
without diminishing Himself, He creates all
felt in the manifest universe as a bliss fizz

have ye not seen the truth as yet oh hermit
know the seeker who seeks does not exist
if we be still judging neither fault nor merit
our pristine presence is by bliss mists kissed

acknowledging form as also boundless space
we imprint our unique emotes in the vast void
as both this here now and the absolute totality
effervescence of our love is pure and unalloyed

Imo here the awakened one speaks of recognising that the personal self is not separate or distinct from the impersonal Self. It is the clear seeing of reality as it is, unclouded by thoughts of this and that.

There is a spacious quality to the Self. Some describe the Self/Awareness as Emptiness. Eckhart Tolle prefers the term Spaciousness, I believe. Emptiness and the Void seem like negative terms, whereas Spaciousness conveys a sense of unbounded openness, which imo is the same but sounds less stark.

The quote goes on to question how there can be a meditator and meditation, again pointing out the oneness and non-distinction of a meditator and the act of meditating: there is only the Self. There is not a meditator meditating, there is simply the Self being. Nothing is done, only an appearance of a doer doing.

@ Goldcup7 ~ about meditator and meditation or this body and activation in it by kundalini, we may notice that innate aliveness of presence always is. Thus, rotating polarity by effortless, spontaneous, playful intent, we become the energy of silence pervading form and thus are not meditating but are being meditated upon.

Likewise, shifting from potential energy of stillness to kinetic energy of kundalini, we become the kundalini itself navigating through energy conduits (nadis) in form. Looking at it this way, the kundalini or Divine Mother then is not something external to our innate being.

The blurring of boundaries, in my view is enabled by this simple recognition which shifts our orientation to be one with oneness, whilst momentarily localised in form, wherein there then is no this versus that. We are both immanent and transcendent simultaneously and there is no doer, no applicator of effort, at any time, no practice to be done, no schedule to be followed.

we are as we are, in blissful repose ~
