Thanks Share. Had to drive out seperately with my son. Rest of family came in last night from visiting Yellowstone, (which I missed).
Anyway, son and I took the big 6 mile hike yesterday. I'll post a picture when I get time. Today, did some biking. I keep saying I need to get in better shape. I'm able to do these activities, but they are getting more difficult. But we are having fun.

I'm heading out to Colo in a little while to join the family. I'll be driving so maybe I'll contemplate this now and then.

And presented in a succinct readable context. Do you feel you have a glimpse of this reality? Experientially, or intellectually? Do you really need to ask that? Edg's posts are "All in the head, all the time." Seriously. With Anartaxius' posts, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of real experience between the statements. With Edg, only statements. Any "gap" between statements is filled with ego. In my experience, the more certain a person feels the need to be in their statements about the nature of advaita, the less likely it is that they've ever experienced anything they're speaking about. For me, I feel it is something I can relate to on an intellectual level, but I think I have a clearer understanding of it than I have had in the past. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Q: You say the jnani is beyond. Beyond what? Beyond knowledge? Maharaj: Knowledge has its rising and setting. Consciousness comes into being and goes out of being. It is a matter of daily occurrence and observation. We all know that sometimes we are conscious and sometimes not. When we are not conscious, it appears to us as a darkness or a blank. But a jnani is aware of himself as neither conscious nor unconscious, but purely aware, a witness to the three states of the mind and their contents There is nothing wrong in the idea of a body, nor even in the idea 'I am the body'. But limiting oneself to one body only is a mistake. In reality all existence, every form, is my own, within my consciousness. I cannot tell what I am because words can describe only what I am not. I am, and because I am, all is. But I am beyond consciousness and, therefore, in consciousness I cannot say what I am. Yet, I am.
