Not-Two
« on: May 19, 2016, 09:51:15 pm »
In volume 2, the following quote is provided:

"We have circled and circled till
we have arrived home again--we two have;
We have voided all but freedom,
and all but our own joy." -WW

So, when he uses the word "two", he means, like, the appearance of two throughout the circling...the proverbial "us" or "we" through Maya's playground, but finally returning "Home" (abiding beyond any such distinction)...where there is no "two" (or even no "one")?

In volume 1: "Not two is not exactly true, but two is exactly not true."

Ahh... question is dissolving again...

It's not two or one or neither or both... it's not nothing or everything... it's just... not? Null.

(Man this is some powerful stuff.)

Regards,

ET

When one is "Done", does one still "dream" when asleep physically? Or in other words, abiding (non-dual awareness) means abiding, 24/7, right? No forgetting one's no-self during naptime?

When truly done, You never sleep. Of course your body does, but that has nothing to do with You.

These things will take care of themselves. Find out who you are first off.

Love ya, Jed.

Ode to the Void

Once my greatest enemy,
Now my very best friend.
Once the darkest darkness,
Now the light of all ends.

My only constant companion,
My only truest self,
Destroyer of all evil,
Destroyer of all health.

Remember the void forever,
It’s all you’ve never got.
Remember the void forever,
The truth of all that’s naught.

Bitten

Bitten by a vampire,
I drove a stake through my own heart.
Now without a home in darkness,
I’ve finished playing out my part.

So dead I can never die now,
I cast not a shadow of a doubt.
The light of the world would kill me,
But the darkness will never run out.

Be careful if approaching,
For you know not what you do.
This coffin will be yours soon,
If you get bitten too.

I used to feel quite obligated to share all the "wisdom" I have "gained" with others, to end suffering and all that.

Now I feel like, holy h-e-double-hockey-sticks! Truth is the last thing I want to share with anyone. I want to do anything I can to NOT divulge this so-called truth. I feel like it will kill everyone.

Probably I'm a bit scared of the total dissolution. I mean, if everyone did actually become vampires, there'd be no-thing left.

Good thing it's impossible to explain. And that there's no others to explain it to.

Strange dreams.

Arrogance

I am the Supreme Total of Everything, of All that Is.
I am the Alpha, the Omega...the Beta, Gamma, Delta, Sigma, Chi... all of them.
Whatever I see is Mine, whatever I don't see does not exist. Nothing is not Mine.
I am indestructible.
Birthless, Deathless, all the most supreme powers of gods and men and planets and stars cannot reach me.
You say, "Fear God, fear zika, fear terrorists." I say, "Fear not! For these I am, and these I am not."
I can write whatever I want.
I can do whatever I want,
As long as I listen to Me.

Greetings, and a deep thanks again for the books of pure gold.

Quick question:

If I'm understanding correctly, it is indicated in the works that awakening (enlightenment, T/R) is inevitable.
Quote
Awakening to your true nature is like dying; it's a certainty, inevitable.
-Vol. 1

Yet, it is also emphasized that awakening is perhaps the rarest of all human "accomplishments".
Quote
I'd be very surprised if there've been a thousand ever.
-Vol. 3

How can the inevitable be of such rarity?

Much appreciated,

E/T

Everyone wakes up ''now'', but very very few people know ''now''. Everyone will someday... because it's always ''now''. Unavoidable, unimaginable and inevitable.

Love ya, Jed.
