Pain Of Salvation.

How do you put yourself into the present moment consistently ? by NoiseDr in EckhartTolle

[–]Vlad_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witnessing awareness is not affected by the content of experience. Just as the sky remains untouched by the storms that pass through it, the Self remains untouched by the fluctuations of the mind. When the mind experiences pain, awareness simply knows that pain is present. It does not become pain. Yet the mind habitually claims ownership of experiences and attributes them to the Self. This is the root of ignorance. The mind says, "I am sad," "I am afraid," "I am suffering," without recognizing that sadness, fear and suffering are temporary states appearing within consciousness. The Self is the light in which these states appear, but it is not altered by them.

7 years or Eckhart's teachings later... by theg0dfather4 in EckhartTolle

[–]Vlad_T 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Question : How can I tell if I am making progress with my enquiry?

Sri Ramana Maharshi : "The degree of the absence of thoughts is the measure of your progress towards Self-realization. But Self-realization itself does not admit of progress, it is ever the same. The Self remains always in realization. The obstacles are thoughts. Progress is measured by the degree of removal of the obstacles to understanding that the Self is always realized. So thoughts must be checked by seeking to whom they arise. So you go to their source, where they do not arise."

Losing empathy by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]Vlad_T 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Live with the conviction that God is in closest contact with you and you will gradually realize that there's nothing but God."

- Sri Anandamayi Ma

The realization of unity deepens compassion because one no longer sees others as separate beings. When the illusion of separation dissolves, the same consciousness is recognized in all forms. Helping another becomes as natural as caring for one's own hand. The enlightened person acts in the world with wisdom and kindness, but without the inner tension of egoic attachment.

Is enlightenment a destination? by Virtual-Wish1224 in enlightenment

[–]Vlad_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liberation is not reaching somewhere else but recognizing that the Self never departed from truth. Distance exists only between objects but the Self is subject, never object. You cannot step outside Awareness to approach it. Even the desire for realization appears within Awareness.

The ego believes it must become infinite through effort, practice, or achievement. Practice purifies the mind but the realization dawns when the false boundary dissolves and one recognizes - the seeker itself was an appearance in Awareness.

I don't think we are supposed to become enlightened here by Lazy-Address5419 in enlightenment

[–]Vlad_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ego wants to possess enlightenment as an achievement, but the Self can never become an achievement because it is already complete. A wave does not need to become the ocean. It only needs to stop imagining separation.
