Have you heard it? The chord that strikes itself.
You have to pay attention, the sound is so quick.
Well, its not really sound you know, not like we hear..
It hears itself, because the chord and the sound are made out of the same thing.
Consciousness. See, that's what the whole thing boils down to, there isn't anything other than consciousness. Everything in and out of creation is that, its transformation into matter, energy, the individual ego (sense of "I") is a delusion, a momentary lapse of awareness. Its so quick.
One micro second of you forgetting that you're infinite, unbounded, all pervading consciousness, and all of these universes, with it's beings, all the time from the creation to the cosmic dissolution, happens in a flash. It's not really light you know, not like we see.. I still really like mcdonalds, I don't care what anyone says. I can't get a quarter pounder that tastes like it came out of an easy bake oven anywhere else. Sometimes I crave the fakeness. Such is life.
It would be best to start from the beginning. This journey, this work, started from the desire for self-knowledge. It seems ironic then, that at the end of my journey (which is also the start of my work) I would come to the certainty that my individual identity is of the least importance. I am simply one in a long line of others like me. Information of the highest importance has been entrusted to me. If I could communicate this in only a sentence or two I would..
This awareness and the process leading to it must be experienced. Ones such as myself have been custodians of this knowledge since time immemorial. This treasure is not the possession of any of us. It is inherent in the fabric of creation itself. We do not invent it, or even discover it. We only bring it out of the darkness that envelops it from time to time. On occasion this sacred science must be renewed. For that purpose, for the illumination of our fellow human, we return periodically.
Who am I? I'm known as dylan standing alone, but in truth I am only that consciousness which is all pervading and undifferentiated. I've been known by many differing names, these are unimportant, it has always been me, that I am.
Our true nature, our true "self", is undifferentiated consciousness. The simplest way I could explain what infinite undifferentiated consciousness is, is that it's the substratum (and source of) the reality we experience, its also the self (stripped of thought, division, and sense of "i"). Self and reality describe the same thing. Through the practice of different systems of self knowledge, you can get moments of experiencing this state. Once certain procedures are performed through self-effort (and if its the appropriate time), its possible to bring this undivided consciousness into present awareness permanently, this also coincides with the balancing of female and male polarities and raising the creative energy up the spine to settle it in the top of the head.
All of these events- A change in awareness, the stilling and balancing of energies, and self realization are all intertwined and interdependent.
The reality we experience is an imaginary tree, whose seed is the self. Everything you see is made of consciousness, that you're not any different from. The phenomenal experience can't be fully understood by using the senses. By going backward into the self, you benefit and understand the world outside. You still perform things in life, just with a fuller understanding of what this world is.
Everything in our modern culture wants us to believe the answers to the fundamental questions in the universe are found either in space, or in the smallest scales of reality. The most important thing we can study if we want real answers, is the observer itself, the self. The self isn’t born, doesn't die, can’t be identified with thoughts or the senses, and in a way it contains everything else you could see or not see. When we study our self, its not a study of our emotions, thoughts, or anything that has to do with our individual sense of "i". We study what we're made of, and where everything in creation came from, these two questions have the same answer.
And as for how self knowledge could benefit society? It would be the only true benefit. So many problems we face in the world are due to the fact the humanity on average is totally ignorant of our origins, the nature of consciousness, and what reality even is. You can't expect people to live out balanced lives if they don't even have proper knowledge of themselves. This is the type of information that's kept out of the public spotlight, our culture feeds off of ignorance.
