Tom T comments interspersed Vay asks: Mentation ceases. Is that your experience? Tom T: My experience is that thoughts are downloaded from the server known as Creation. I think no thoughts. But thoughts appear. Our good old friend Paradox appearing again. That seems to be the hallmark of what is going on, Paradox existing at all times and in all interactions. Vaj: All your karmas are exhausted--these are the causes that keep things going like interactions, synchronicities, certain events. Are you free of all that? Is that your experience? Tom T: Are my karmas done? Don't know and really don't much care. I act but I know not where the ideas come from. I can be heading to the supermarket to get groceries and I will find myself in the coffee shop doing Satsang with some poor unsuspecting soul. I feel free of the need to be in control and continually wonder at how this all gets done so efficiently and automatically. Vaj asks: If the body didn't die, what did? Tom T: That one is easy. The identification with the idea, I am this body. I was actually killed in car collision about 22 years ago. Not bad typing for a dead man Huh! The seed effect of that was the imbedded knowledge I am not my body. It took a lot of years for that seed to bear fruit and get me to the understanding of where I am now. I came to the understanding in Satsang one night and actually told every one that the next time I leave this body I won't even know unless someone walks up and tells me. That link is pretty tenuous now. Vaj: Do you have any perception of shakti, prana, etc? Tom T: I am not clear what you are asking but do you mean do I perceive it or give it or what and what do you mean by shakti or prana. Don't know what you mean by those particular words. Sorry, tell me more and I will do my best. Vaj: Does Tom perceive Bliss? Tom T: The Bliss is the ever-present state I find myself in 24/7. It is not ramped up and balls to the wall as some think it will be or like it was in the very beginning. It is this knowing that all is well, all is as it is. There is easiness to all of life. The bliss actually is kind of mundane now. What has come to the forefront the last year is the appreciation of all of creation. This started out as pretty dramatic and was way more impressive than the bliss. The Understanding that has come from this ever-deepening appreciation is that appreciation is just the outward stoke. The inward stroke that appeared about 8 months ago is the intimacy with all of creation. When I say appreciation I mean blow your socks off amping up of unbounded love. Add in the ever-increasing intimacy and you have a situation that is almost too much to bear. Notice I said almost. It is bearable but sometimes there are no words to say what is gong on and no desire to even attempt it. Tom T
