Total Thoughts (Feb 8, 2010): Tattva Bodha, The Gross Body (pages 40 - 42)

What does it take to change our vision? We gather this week to challenge our knowledge and cast a light upon the illusion of dream and waking. To truly understand what "Anything that I know, I cannot be" means. Here are our total thoughts…

 

Total Thoughts (February 8, 2010):  Tattva Bodha, The Gross Body (pages 40 - 44)

  • The body like every other object can be indicated as 'this'.  'I' the knower of 'this' am different from it. 'I' is ever present in the dream and waking state and is free of all limitations, and this is the source of bliss.
  • We must remember that perspective or relativity is not a measure of an illusion – the nature of the change is the measure. Anything that changes and is experienced, is an illusion.
  • The ego is the reason for our rebirth. The ego prevents us from realizing our true Self. The ego only seems to exist, but is not real. Any experience, or anything, that is not the nature of existence, awareness and bliss, is not real.
  • We need to change our vision, realize that at the gross level everything is the same, and although functionally we see differences, the utility remains the same.
  • Maya is not paying attention. Pay attention, and maya disappears.
