Living with no concepts
Visitor: What is it like to live with no concepts?
Niz: Any answer given to you will be a concept.
Visitor: How can one know that he is beyond concepts?
Niz: Merely to understand, without the slightest doubt, with great conviction, that there is a state prior to the arising of this consciousness. That, itself is, sufficient.
Visitor: How can one differentiate between just having the thought of it and living it?
Niz: How do you understand anything? Any knowledge of any kind that you think you have can only be in the consciousness. How can the consciousness, which came later, give you any knowledge about that state which exists prior to its arrival? Any thought that you have reached or are going to reach that state is false. Whatever happens in consciousness is purely imaginary, an hallucination; therefore, keep in mind the knowledge that it is consciousness in which everything is happening. With that knowledge, be still, do not pursue any other thoughts which arise in consciousness. What is necessary is to understand with sure conviction is that all is temporary, and does not reflect your true state.

Personalities
Niz: Normally, a person who is always thinking of others as personalities will not think of others simply as a function in consciousness. So this is the disease. The primary symptom it seems would be strife, dissatisfaction, restlessness, the manifestation of threat, and ultimately, a feeling of powerlessness and a futile effort to reclaim that power from "outside of oneself". |

As soon as the existential questions are gone, that stuff can't/won't arise anymore. Maybe the issue of powerlessness and reclaiming ones power has something to do with the existential question about the purpose of life. Which is actually a great koan, I guess. ;D |

This is an another illusion. The one who do not pursue any other thoughts come into the being now. And he perpetuate. Likewise anything we do for anything creates the illusion so we can't do anything('we can't do anything' becomes illusion if we accept that as an idea).For an instance When we tend to look at what is happening, we brings the 'seer' into the existence.

(From paragraph 10 Chapter 96 of "I AM THAT", "Abandon Memories and Expectations")Niz: This basic identity -- you may call it God or Brahman or the matrix ( prakriti); the words matter little -- is only the realization that all is one. Niz, the grandaddy of cyber punk ?? |
