Thr...Hello DRPVSSNRAJU ~<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this clarity. Through Self-inquiry, the separate, mind-made self or individual "I" (I call it "dreaming I") is removed and everything falls like a wall of sand. Both concepts (an I that is separate from God) arise simultaneously.<BR/><BR/>Some have seen through the false I and yet Self-realization is not consciously complete. This is due to the reference point of the subject-witness (the one who is witnessing formlessness objectively). When this is recognized, it is eliminated on its own accord.<BR/><BR/>For spiritual friends who are also reading this exchange, it is not being said here that God does not exist. It is just saying that your CONCEPT of a "God" that is separate from "you" is false. No concept is absolutely true. Both are superimpositions that veil the Truth.Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067095269484567469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673339801678718571.post-72865363081907451082008-11-22T16:37:00.000-08:002008-11-22T16:37:00.000-08:00Dear Katie, As you said we are the self ...Dear Katie,<BR/> As you said we are the self but<BR/>that is superimposed by the concepts of God,<BR/>world and individual"I"(Jiva).Until we realise<BR/>that these three are just concepts and have no existential reality these superimpositions on the self veils the reality and nature of self.<BR/>To get rid of illusion of these superimpositions Self-enquiry is the best way.DRPVSSNRAJUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371975669077160799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673339801678718571.post-12536094947169284422008-11-21T06:21:00.000-08:002008-11-21T06:21:00.000-08:00You are very welcome, Juana.
