Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (9 months ago)

  Bjorn : One Mind

One key to open all locks

Bjorn said Jul 25, 2007, 9:30 AM:

 

Infinite awareness covers all things. Through the lens of consciousness life comes alive. Whatever we lay our eyes on share the same quality; one of aliveness. It covers all phenomena, all thoughts, all history. It covers our understanding and our ignorance alike. This is not an altered state of consciousness, but altered states are seen just as any other thing, mental or physical. It does not grow weary or weak in times of sleep, nor does it become brighter or clearer in times of wakefulness. It is this capacity of ours to see whatever there is in front of the minds eye at all times no matter what. Strain and we don't make it sharper, relax and it won't loose its all-pervasiveness. It has no gender and it doesn't take sides. It is not stronger in some and weaker in others. It does not belong to our personality but it is truly who we are. It is not to be gained and not to be kept apart.

When we accept this, we share the same mind, the same body, and the same spirit.

Kundalini, an energetic awakening. Powerful experiences, altered states, new vistas. And yet, without this all-seeing eye of ours, conclusions and identities will remain individual and separate.

Can we see eye to eye?

That was great Bjorn, thanx for that. This is what I've been trying to point at the in dual mandala thread, but have been going at it in a more rational and less poetic way. I think for this crowd grandiose language and poetry are needed, if one is really going to get their Mind across to others. So this was a perfect post at the perfect time.

Bjorn:

“Can we see eye to eye?”

Only if we stop trying, only if we stop choosing, only if we see there is no method, no identification.
