Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dvaita Vs. Advaita - Epistimological Aspects - Which is Maharishi?

Unity is where ones coherence remains wakeful and includes objects one deep. And Brahmin is where one remains wakeful and their coherence includes objects three deep.  This is Maharishi's definition.     ----- Original Message ----- From: jim_flanegin To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2005 11:54 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dvaita Vs.

It appears that in Unity we see everything in terms of ourselves, and in Brahman, there is fundamentally no 'our self'. Or alternatively, there is one Self: Brahman. Period. The creation has the overwhelming characteristic of Wholeness and perfection. So what is Unity? Paradoxically, there appears to be a duality in Unity because of *the sense of perception of Oneness*, the perception of Unity. Whereas in Brahman, there is no perception of Unity, there is just *being* Brahman. Is that correct? Although I have experienced Unity several times, I am not 100% clear about the distinction of Unity and Brahman.
