The "Real" You

THE REAL 'YOU'
Peace that passeth understanding.
Its no-mind. Choiceless Awareness.
Never Conditioned (Unconditional). 
No Decision. Spontaneity. Thoughtless. Effortless.
Eternal. Ever new. Ever Awake. No Light. No Darkness. No Sound. Silence. No Words. No Communication, No Individual, No Doer exists. No Purpose. Yet everything gets done. Actorless Action.
No Bonds. Ultimate Freedom. 
Intimate Unqualified Ineffable Unending Love, Complete Care.
Pure Bliss, Total Play - Fun. Uncaused.
No Body. No You. No Mind. No Identity. No Doubt. 
No Human. Beyond Senses. Divine.
Beyond Experience. (No Experiencer). Time stops.
Deathless. Unborn. No Going. No Coming. 
No source No Creation. No Dissolution. (No Beginning, No Ending in Time) Can't Annihilate. 
Dimensionless. Never Bound. Never Limited (Infinite - No Beginning. No Ending in Space)
Undivided. Just One. Whole (All Encompassing)
Alive, Intense beyond comprehension in its Perfection, Contentment. Harmony. 
Non-dual. Witness. That space is really consciousness.(There is no such thing as space. It is Presence, Bliss, Love, Peace)
Turiya 
and also Beyond all these - Turiyatita
Stillness, Silence - a living entity. you are just a pure Being (No Knower, No Known, No Knowing).
It Just is. It's Real You.
In absolute terms, you are only this. It's Truth.
...
Materiality, Relativity is delusional. It's Separateness (Duality)
Its a law of cause and effect - pendulum of dualities (rich, poor, good times, bad times, attachment, hatred, happiness, sadness, health, sickness, suffering, right, wrong, male, female, child, youth, old, birth, death, this, that, here, there, now, then, microcosm, macrocosm) appearing real, strong, solid, because your personality believes it to be so.
When you take thew world seriously, you are in bondage.
The world is a crutch for us to lean on. 
You fear to let go of it. Stop fooling yourself.
Yet this relativity has no existence.
Enjoy the relativity as much as you can 
and yet it will lead you nowhere (like boomerang), 
because for it never existed. It's like a dream. Never happened.
You can wake up this moment and it's not there (the idea of body-mind, doer is finished) and you'll forget it. It's utter nonsense.
...
The ultimate truth (for the ego = subconscious = karma self) is Everything is preconditioned, preordained, predestined, planned before you came here and there are no accidents as long as you believe you are human. It means you have no choice. 
This is your dharma presented by Karma. 
Do not fight it. Do not react. Work on yourself.
Once you understand this, you turn within and 
do the best can and everything will take care of itself.
Some will Give. Something has to give and you will be free.
(If there is no identification with the body, 
there is no need of the feeling to materialize.)
...
Since time immemorial there has been man's inhumanity to man, there have been riots, wars, destruction, chaos, confusion. 
And there have been people saying we're going to make peace 
and turn this into a peaceful world. 
This is the way of the world. And the world is a mirage. 
So if you identify will all the things you see you will always be confused, you have to because the nature of this world is confusion. 
We give names to all things, but these things just are.
Do not identify with what you see. Identify with reality.
...
No matter how wealthy you are. 
No matter how much fun you're having. 
No matter what you're doing with you lives. 
Something touches you within and you begin to leave everybody alone. 
You become quiet. 
Liberation can come to the worst murderer, who knows nothing about meditation or spiritual life. 
"Do not try to judge these things. 
Do not try to analyze or figure these things out.
Do not try to come to any conclusions about
who deserves this and who does not." you dont know. 
Rather work on yourself.
...
Even though you may think you're in a sorry place right now. 
Do not look at it that way. 
Never condemn yourself or believe that you don't know anything 
or feel slighted because you're not making progress. 
Be totally grateful for where you are right now and 
you will be lifted up and you will make fast progress on the path.
...
Just sitting by yourself, still. 
You realize that you are the all-pervading essence of life, 
the absolute reality and you feel so happy, so peaceful, so loving, 
that there's absolutely nothing you do to achieve these traits. 
Anything you have to do in this world 
to bring you happiness does not last. 
When you look to the world for your happiness, 
for your peace, for your harmony, you're making a mistake. 
Look at this world. Is anything ever the same. 
Things appear, they stay for a while and they go. 
You go up and down looking for happiness,
searching for happiness. You think you find it, 
then it betrays you, and you become miserable, disillusioned.
...
The whole universe is a reflection of yourself. 
Whatever you think of yourself, you're seeing in others. 
But again if you stare at the Sage deeper and deeper and 
you think of the Sage deeper and deeper you will bypass all that.
You will go deeper inside the Sage and you will become the Sage yourself, you see your Self. There's only one Self.
This can happen with anyone or anything (rock), 
but with sage, the pull of Self is stronger. It's Magnetic.
(It's is an abyss, dark hole).
The outer guru will push you inwards. 
The inner guru (your real Self) will pull you upwards.
...
When you watch the movement of time things are happening. 
But if you are spontaneous and 
you leave everything alone and 
realize everything just is 
you would be in between the movements of time and space. 
You would be able to see through the mirage. 
Through the so-called magic of life and happenings. And 
you would be able to see the stillness, the oneness, the peace.
...
At the centre of the hurricane there's total peace,total silence. 
It's the same principle. You have a pain that hurts, 
a headache, a migraine, cancer, anger, fear, whatever you've got rather than feel the pain and identify with the pain, 
begin to become very still, very quiet and begin to go deep within the pain. Dive deep, deep, deep within the pain. Deep, Real deep, feel yourself diving deep to the center of the pain. 
At the center there is no pain and you'll be at peace.
Because at the center there is only your Self. 
Pain will disappear, due to the fact that it never existed.
Your life is only a split second in eternity.
Mind is all conditions, limitations (Programming) (It's extra luggage you're carrying around).
Maya appears to present conditions, situations to you. 
It's all Cosmic Joke. 
We're caught in mesmerism. We're hypnotized into believing we have to go through experiences. 
When mind is active and making a lot of noise, you are reacting.
If you drop mind by not reacting to conditions, Karma Stops.
Thoughts are like the body, it's an appearance.
You are giving substance and life to these conditions.
What do you do to stop thoughts? Absolutely nothing.
In reality, there are no thoughts. There's nothing. 
You're are using same nothing to stop your thoughts.
Doing nothing, because you are nothing.
Nothing plus nothing makes nothing. Then you see your real nature. Spontaneity and Choiceless Awareness will come.
Maya will leave you alone and this is what awakening is.
You just see the things as they are. The whole dreaming is gone.
There is a joy beyond the joy of relativity 
that no human being can express.
The finite can never comprehend the Infinite, 
for the finite mind doesn't exist, personal self doesn't exist.
So when the mind is destroyed 
that which is the silent witness of itself, becomes yourself.
...
Healing comes because no one was ever sick.
IF somebody is sick, and you'd have a lot of work 
to do to heal the person, that is ego.
Do not think you're a healer 
or think you're healing somebody or something, 
feel that there is total absolute consciousness and nothing else. 
Therefore who has to be healed? And who is healing whom? 
There is no healer and there is no one to heal. 
When you look at this way, 
what is supposed to happen will happen by itself. 
Your job is to know the truth. 
Everything else will take care of itself.
...
When there is a death in the family it is difficult indeed. 
When a person is going through grieving like this words cannot help. Love is the answer. 
But you know the truth within yourself that
no one was ever born and no one can ever die.
Don't tell them this they doesn't understand this. 
Love the person. Hug the person.
And your vibrations will go into this person and make them peaceful. 
In all humility feel this truth in your heart. 
And if you are sincere they will feel this also and have peace.
When a Sage drops the body, you have to understand that 
he is doing this for you. For a Sage never had the body.
...
The body will do what it came here to do 
and there is mysterious power that 
knows how to grow oranges on an orange tree, 
knows how to grow wheat, 
knows how to grow mangoes and roses and flowers and everything else, 
knows how to take care of what you call your body, without any help from you. 
That power knows where the appearance of your 
body is supposed to be and what work it's supposed to do. 
Trust that power. You will find out one day that the power is none other...is you. That power is your Self. 
But until then trust the power. 
I like to call this power, "The current that knows the way."
It's a beautiful power, it only knows love. 
It wants you to become a living embodiment of love. 
It wants you to merge with itself.
...
Since your real Self is already awake, 
there is nothing that can keep you back yourself.
By the self I mean your mind, your thoughts.
All these thoughts are a mirage.
Remember, you use your mind to destroy your mind.
When the mind is introverted upon itself, it disappears.
...
Only choice you have is - Use your energy to react or turn within.
Not reacting to people, situations, places and Dive within and find out your real Self and become totally free OR 
get involved in the world (Maya - the grand Illusion).
The body is an idea of the mind. 
Upon investigation mind doesn't exist.
Your whole universe, problems, joys & sorrows (these are appearances and this is reason they change, and they seem to end when you appear to disappear), sufferings (because it is not the way you wanted it to be, you will get disillusioned) is related to 'I' thought (the concept.. body-mind Phenomena - Drop It), for it never existed. Nothing exists the way it appears.
...
The screen does not identify with the image at all. 
The screen identifies with itself. 
Consciousness identifies with itself. It's self-contained.
Somehow these images (ego) have appeared and 
they seem to rush in on consciousness 
as they do on the screen. 
But this is only our appearance, mirage, an optical illusion.
You believe through many incarnations you are an image, 
but we are really the screen.
...
Dive within and find out for yourself.
All the answers are within your Self. 
You can never find them without.
The thing you are seeking in whatsoever is always the real You.
...
Surrender (to Real you / Self / Guru / Grace / God),
Total Let go (mentally), 
Love Deeper (your Self / Beloved / Guru, for there is only One Self), 
An Open Heart,
Divine Ignorance (I don't know anything, innocence), 
One-pointed Question (Mind in wonder becomes weaker as it begins to see mystery)
Awareness every second - will help you to awaken, realize, remember who you really are. 
....
-Not Known, Yet you are..
...
P.S. There are no mistakes. Nobody cause you problems, upset you. There is only one Self and you are that. All is Well, exceedingly well. Everything is unfolding as it should. Everything is on your side. Keep your life simple. Follow your ego or surrender your go. Choice is yours. Turn yourself Inside Out!

Technique:The Invisible World (The Five Prerequisites)

We've had a Jesus, a Buddha, a Krishna, many others, many Bhodhisatvas, who have come back to bring peace to this world. Yet it has never happened. How come? Why can there not be peace in this world? The greatest of souls have tried to bring this peace here, yet for some strange reason they have all missed the point. This world is not a world of peace. There have been periods when there has been peace for a while. They didn't last long, and there were wars again, man's inhumanity to man, strife, confusion.

These great souls, for some strange reason, did not realize that there is another world interpenetrating this world, the real world, the invisible world, where there is total bliss, total love, infinite peace. This true world is called consciousness, for want of a better term. It is the state of absolute reality, yet it is the invisible world. The same thing exists in each one of us. In each being, in each animal, in each plant, in each mineral, in each vegetable, there is an inner force. There is consciousness, the reality of all substance.

Only human beings, so-to-speak, are able to transcend their humanity and rise above the so-called relative world, relative universe. Yet there have been very few who actually were able to see this. These very few beings, these very few people, would be considered selfish by most people, for they exclaimed, leave the world alone. Do not concern yourself with the world. The world is an illusion. Dive deep within yourself. Find yourself. If you discover the world within yourself, the invisible world, that is, which is the Self, then you will see what the rest of this world really is.

But there have been those few people who somehow felt something within them, that there is a reality that knows absolutely nothing about this world. They cannot explain it but they feel it. And they begin to do the work required in order to transcend and transmute the entire universe, becoming free and liberated. They gave a name to these people, Jnanis, Sages, Masters. These beings, just by being themselves, become an asset to the world and to those who are ready to follow those steps.

We can never have real happiness as long as we believe the world is real. It's impossible! Due to the fact everything changes. No thing is ever the same and that is very evident. The whole universe is constantly changing. How can we have faith or believe in something like this, that is never the same? We have to make up our minds. Do we want to find reality or do we want to keep running around the world, becoming enthralled in the beginning, and disappointed in the end?

We begin to see it is the mind that keeps us in bondage. It is the mind that creates the body, the world and the universe. We cannot change other people. We've tried. It doesn't work. We cannot change the world condition. We've tried. It doesn't work. It makes no difference whom we elect president or what happens in the world. The conditions might change but there will never be a harmony and peace in this world.

It is only as we transcend and transmute the mind that we see something else. We actually see something else. We live in a different world. This is the reason I appear strange to some people, to most people, to all the people. I may see an accident, somebody dying. I will render assistance but I will be happy, for I do not see death as it appears. For some reason I look through that into the invisible world where there is joy and laughter, where there is peace and harmony.

What do you see? As you look in this world what do you see? You're seeing the result of your mind. Your mind has been conditioned since you were born. Not only that, but you have a mind that has been through many lives, so it appears. You've had many existences and many worlds as a male, as a female, and you're under the laws of karma.

A Jnani has absolutely nothing to do with this world. The world, the universe, becomes totally meaningless to a Sage. It's not a put on. It's not imagining that, "All is well," until some catastrophe hits you, and then you get upset, become violent, feel sorry for yourself, become depressed. You have to see where your at, where you're coming from, what you're really made of. You can never know the truth, that there is no world, there is no universe, there is no God, as long as you believe the body suffers, mentally or physically. Have you suffered mentally or physically today?

If you really want to become a part of those few people in this world that have transcended the world, you have to do what they did.

The first prerequisite: Shut up. Be quiet. Stop debating. Stop arguing. Stop trying to prove a point. Even if someone knows something that you don't, whether they share it with you or not, makes no difference, for you have to come up with your own truth. There's really no one in this universe that can hand you realization on a silver platter.

Number two: You have to let go. You have to let go so completely that it becomes scary. You have to totally let go mentally. You have to stop depending on person, place or thing for your self-worth. You have to start depending on the infinite invisible, on what you cannot see, taste, touch, or smell or feel.

Number three: You must look at the world but never react to anything. You must watch your feelings and your emotions, observe them, and as they come into contact with you, you must become the witness, realizing that you are not those emotions. You are not your bad temper. You are not the depression. You are nothing that goes on in this world.

Number four: You must develop a tremendous humility, a stupendous humility. This is more important than anything else. If someone tells you something that you don't like to hear you do not become upset. You do not hold it in. You let it go through you and it dissipates, for it has no energy except the energy you give it. You are responsible to yourself. If you fool yourself you're just going to get disgusted in the end and give up all spiritual life, for you'll say you've gotten nowhere, nothing has happened, it doesn't work. It doesn't exist.

I suppose this is the reason I am with you. To tell you, "Yes, there is an invisible realm of perfection beyond this world, interpenetrating this world, that makes this world look like kindergarten." Yet you must be able to see it yourself.

Number five: You have to want it so much that you don't want it. You have to have such a strong desire to be free that all desire stops. When all desire stops there is a quietness, a stillness, that takes place within you. It is only when this stillness, this quietness, comes when you're able to see clearly, not with your physical eyes, but with your spiritual eye, not with your little I, not with the I-thought, but with the I-am. And you will see in all directions. You will see up, you will see down, you will see sideways, you will see backwards. The only thing you will see is total perfection which is another name for pure awareness. You have to take this thing seriously and you're not to be serious about this thing at all. You have to reject everything yet you also have to accept everything. You have to surrender and you have to realize that you are the Self.

There is something inside of you that knows how to do all this. You can help by becoming quiet, by becoming still, by not making a lot of noise, not making a big commotion. Let the world do what it will, yet you become silent and peaceful, compassionate, have humility. Just watch, look, observe, quiet the mind. Be still and know that I am God.
.... Those who have been trying to tell us to go within, and the change must come from within, are the true teachers. But those who try to improve the world and try to improve the world to make this a better world, have not tasted ultimate reality.

Transcending is when you go from step to step. You go higher and higher. But transmuting is when you do it all at once. The brain chemical changes to begin with. The brain chemical changes to begin with. The entire programming of the brain gives up to the mind, lets go. All the programming disappears. The eons of programming, the past, is dead. It becomes totally annihilated.

Many beings have awakened simply by looking at the situation, observing it, intelligently focusing on it, and awakening can occur. You see through the maya.

-Robert Adams, The Collected Works

Self is all-pervading, Your true nature

When you discover you are the Self, remember the Self is all-pervading. Absolute reality is omnipresence. Therefore everything is taking place within you. All the so-called actions of the universe are taking place within you because you are self-contained consciousness. That's why there's nothing you can really do, as self-contained consciousness, for you occupy every space, every atom, every universe, and you permeate what appears to be creation. There's nowhere for you to go because there's no room. There's nothing else. There's no space. Space is only for the body, the mind. But when you discover that you're pure awareness there is no space. You encompass all in all. This is the reason why there's nowhere to go and there's nothing to do.

It's like you're a gigantic screen that takes up the entire universe, it is the universe, that takes up all of space. Yet forms appear on the screen. The forms appear on the screen and there's a lot of space between them. The forms appear to be going places, doing things, working, being born and dying, but you are that eternal screen, unflinching, immovable, sat-chit-ananda, parabrahman, and the whole play of consciousness is taking place on the screen, all within yourself. There's no place for the screen to go because it already takes up all the space there is. The only movement there is, is in the images on the screen. But the screen itself has no room where to go, what to do. It just is as it is. That's the way it is. Your true nature is absolute reality, the screen. 

There's nothing you have to do when you understand that you are omnipresence. There's no room for karma, or for sins, or for anything else.

The game is being played by the beings who are projected on the screen. They're going through karma because they have a lot of space. They can go through all kinds of things if there's space. They're going through different experiences of birth and death, of happy and sad, of healthy and sick, of poverty and riches. The images are going through these things. Then they die and they appear to be born again in different lives, and the game continues for ever. 

But you are consciousness, you are the screen, and you remain the same, always. There never was a time when you were different. There never will be a time when you change. Consciousness is consciousness. The Self is the Self. It has no manifestations, no attributes. It just is. That is your true nature.
-Robert Adams, You are No-Thing, The Collected Works

Technique:Four Principles of Self-Realization

Four Principles of Self-Realization
by Robert Adams

First Principle: You have a feeling, a complete understanding that everything you see, everything in the universe, in the world, emanates from your mind. In other words, you feel this. You do not have to think about it, or try to bring it on. It comes by itself. It becomes a part of you. The realization that everything you see, the universe, people, worms, insects, the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, your body, your mind, everything that appears, is a manifestation of your mind.

Second Principle: You have a strong feeling, a deep realization, that you are unborn. You are not born, you do not experience a life, and you do not disappear, you do not die ... You exist as I Am. You have always existed and you will always exist. You exist as pure intelligence, as absolute reality. That is your true nature. You exist as sat-chit-ananda. You exist as bliss consciousness ... But you do not exist as the body. You do not exist as person, place or thing.

Third Principle: You are aware and you have a deep understanding of the egolessness of all things; that everything has no ego. I'm not only speaking of sentient beings. I'm speaking of the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom, the human kingdom. Nothing has an ego. There is no ego ... It means that everything is sacred. Everything is God. Only when the ego comes, does God disappear ... When there is no ego, you have reverence for everybody and everything ... There is only divine consciousness, and everything becomes divine consciousness.

Fourth Principle: You have a deep understanding, a deep feeling, of what self-realization of noble wisdom really is ... You can never know by trying to find out what it is, because it’s absolute reality. You can only know by finding out what it is not. So you say, it is not my body, it is not my mind, it is not my organs, it is not my thoughts, it is not my world, it is not my universe, it is not the animals, or the trees, or the moon, or the sun, or the stars, it is not any of those things. When you've gone through everything and there's nothing left, that's what it is. Nothing. Emptiness. Nirvana. Ultimate Oneness.

Story:What is Reality?

The monk, who is asking the Master, "What is reality, what is reality," and the Master said go pick a fig. And he picked a fig off a tree and the Master said, "open the fig" and the monk did. And the Master said, "Cut open the seed" and he cut open the seed and he said, "what do you see?" And the monk said, "Emptiness," and the Master said, "that's true, everything comes from emptiness," because in the fig seed there is a hollow, there is nothing. So out of the nothingness came the fig tree and so has everything else.
