BRAVO to this man. Him coming from a Physics upringing really helped to keep things tight and on track, while trying to explain things that are impossible to put into works.

There is nothing that this man has said that I disagree with when comparing them with Alan Watts and all the other figures Mr Russel references.

BRILLANT.

but next time maybe be aware of your feelings of impatience, ignore them for a little bit and take the time to watch the video first. ;)

just get the work done to get there.

What people think is “reality” is really merely their perception of the images of reality…not reality itself. Reality itself is pure energy, pure consciousness…which is beyond the physical senses, which are the exclusive bases of intellectual perception. Reality itself cannot be perceived but only directly experienced. Reality itself is not a matter of perception through the senses but a matter of direct conscious experience…or, consciously BEING, yourself, the reality.

In the same way do you perceive the image of yourself in a mirror…while consciously experiencing, or being yourself the actual reality beyond the mirror. The problem of Man is thinking he is his image in the mirror, having lost awareness of the actual reality of who he really is beyond the mirror. In this delusion, he thinks the images of reality is actual reality itself.

So do many cling to the images of apparent movement, losing awareness of the infinite stillness within all apparent movement. They cling to sounds, without awareness of the reality of silence where all sounds arise and return. They cling to form, without awareness of space without which form cannot exist. They cling to the measurable, ever changing formal contents of consciousness, losing awareness of the immeasurable never-changing reality of pure consciousness.

The reality of the still, silent space of pure consciousness is the essential source where all apparent forms arise and return.

Still, ultimately, there is the Primacy of Spirit-Being…where pure consciousness arises and returns…

This discussion about pure consciousness is like talking about the reality of sunlight. Those who have uncovered eyes do not need the explanation nor proof. And those who are blindfolded-from-birth, not having the direct conscious experience of sunlight (though having so much purely intellectual knowledge of sunlight from reading books in Braille), can never reach the conscious experience by listening to explanations. They can only arrive at the direct conscious experience of sunlight…by choosing to remove their blindfolds, instead of arguing and debating about that which they have no experiential knowledge of. Ironically, the sun shines on all the blindfolded-from-birth who are all experiencing its light…they are simply not conscious of the experience!

The blindfold is attachment to, and consequently becoming confined and limited within, the intellectual mind, which can only perceive the formal contents of consciousness…not consciousness itself! So do I paraphrase the “Little Prince”: Only with the heart can one “see” rightly…what is essential is invisible to the intellectual mind.”

When you are trying to explain sunlight…those with uncovered eyes do not need your explanation, and those who are blindfolded from birth can never understand your explanation until they choose to remove their blindfolds instead of arguing with you :-)

Dear Energy, I wish I was smart enough to even begin to grasp some of the concepts discussed in this doc.

Now, can someone please explain to me how a mind would transcend on the Energy Plank Scale without decaying, dispersing, radiating or fading?
