Amazing. I must have seen those little sprites a thousand times, but never, ever thought about them. Thanks for bringing them to my attention, I will always see them now.
This morning I had a dream, where I looked out from a mansion onto a lovely balcony. As I stepped onto the balcony I realized I'm dreaming and thought let me close my eyes in this dream and I will open them and be awake on the bed for the first time in my life consciously. As I was about to do this I thought before i do it let me step off the balcony and fly - which I did. I then got entangled all over again in the dream completely forgetting my initial intention to wake up.
One mote, transcending time! There is ONLY LIGHT, All else appears!! To the mind, It appears as darkness!! It is known only through its reflections.. All is seen in daylight, except daylight. Knowing and unknowing.. not two coins, but one coin!? Oh, wow! There really is nothing for the mind to do with that.
Nabeel, I'm curious about gunas, if you have anything to share about them. Nisargadatta mentioned them, and I have googled them, and seen a few different peoples ways of interpreting our describing them. I certainly recognise them all in this mind. But something that interested me most was Nisargadatta saying that when you understood the gunas, you would would simply let them be, or something to that effect.
Gunas were just the model Nisargadatta sometimes used to talk about the fundamental forces of nature. To discuss such things I much prefer to use modern science. Nonduality is not at all incompatible with science, and there are many insights in piecing together how experience and science are pointing out the same Reality.
@@untangle-your-mind Wow.. OK, that was a surprising response! The fundamental forces of nature. OK, right, looking at the charts again, I can see what you mean, I think. Ha ha, perhaps the real meaning of the holy trinity!
And yes, I have got so much out of your scientific pointers. They 'close' a perceived gap, I've had so many moments of being stopped in my mental tracks for a while while listening to them. That's an inadequate description.. yes the mind was still, but that's not a good way to describe that sense of awe and joy, that feeling that there is nowhere to go. Thanks for that reply, cos I feel that quiet joy again! Nowhere to go, just here.
