Projection, Perception, Gods, Immortals, and the enlightened. What do we actually ‘see’? Also, we are now on the threshold. The future is unimaginable. Witness it. Be a part of it from the ground floor. Join in from the ground floor.
The entire world will not all be enlightened but many societies will be. The world will always have two poles to spin around.
Without projection there is no universe. Perception is what we actually do see, projections is what we think we see. When they become the same thing, the universe ceases to exist,
It’s not about facts. It’s about conceiving from within.
The Veda exists within every point in creation eternally.
The ‘story’ is great, but what lies deeper is much greater.
The story points in a direction where few think to go.
Ask what is the underlying principle in nature. Conceive that.
How to learn from a Spiritual Master.
Step one, be sure the master is for real!
From what I have seen, few people do step one well.
It is not about emotion, hype, drama, flash, vogue, etc. Look as deeply as you can. It is not about if it resonates with something within you. It is about what within you it resonates with. As Adi Shankara said, “The spiritual path is the path of discernment”
It is not about personality or conformity with your preconceived notions. If it was, then where is the learning.
It is not a popularity contest, or a social gathering point
Common sense, spirituality, depth, in-sight
Really it might all too often just come down to motivation… what are you really wanting?
Looking into the Mirror
When he/she holds up a mirror, what do you do? mirroring
When something is not consistent with your views… think or better said discern. Where do you go when on the edge? Do you learn or reject? Do you deepen your thinking, or reject and judge.
Do you embrace your issues, or truth.
All too often, “your truth” is really just your issues.
Assuming the person is truly a spiritual master, how do you learn from that person?
Listen carefully, observe, reflect, the mirror shows your beauty and your limitations. If you are willing to look, it points in the direction of your growth.

The sounder, the process of sounding, and the sound…Brahman Consciousness. The Guru known and unknown. When is a saint ever “a saint in his own home”?
Football stadium from the distance sounds like A…A…A… but closer up it is the quantum sounds of individuals. Like that, the syllables of the Veda are components of the One Sound A…A…A…
relativity is bondage lest it is fully integrated with A…A…A…freedom
The Guru is the gateway to freedom. The Guru is the Guru’s teachings. No separation. Beyond personality or better said, the personality is fully part of That. Yet if the perceiver is not fully integrated within themselves it is not fully seen.
full potential in the sprout A…A…A…: Mt Soma: well begun is half done. Guests are feeling it!
Pasya…See… So simple

The depth structures the surface. It is not the other way around.
A=Gni full open to full stop
Mandalas are everywhere.. cultures cycle from one end to the other… as people do. There is no truth outside the gates of eden. do not look for perfection in the relative… it is not there.
AI Mode on Google: ask any question, answer is essentially immediate
How to see. Pasya…See…

If people really ‘got’ what an enlightened city is
parking and picnicking… staff works hard. Please honor them for their efforts. Seating at Soma’s Kitchen is limited by law so please only picnic in designated areas.
I heard an interesting concept: Illiteracy used to mean unable to read and write. The new illiteracy is unable to learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Deeper value of non-attachment is not an attitude, belief, behavioral mode, or theory. it is a state of consciousness.
In fact, that is why deep knowledge is so elusive. It is only understood on the level of one’s own consciousness. Knowledge is structured in consciousness.
True non-attachment is experienced when relative existence is perceived to be the thin veil that it is… maya
Enlightenment happens in a moment. comes on gradually but all of a sudden. Then the adjustment process goes on for years… eternally really.
equanimity
