I'll be damned if I know what to do with them myself. Its an interesting
concept. I might meditate on it later.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] How does one decide if a person's testimony is valid?
What can I do to test these statements?
Nisargadatta"The scriptures say so, but I know nothing about it. I know myself
as I am; as I appeared or will appear is not within my experience. It is not
that I do not remember. In fact there is nothing to remember. Reincarnation
implies a reincarnating self. There is no such thing. The bundle of memories
and hopes, called the 'I', imagines itself existing everlastingly and creates
time to accommodate its false eternity: To be, I need no past or future. All
experience is born of imagination; I do not imagine, so no birth or death
happens to me. Only those who think themselves born can think themselves
re-born. You are accusing me of having been born -- I plead not guilty!""By its
very nature the mind is outward turned; it always tends to seek for the source
of things among the things themselves; to be told to look for the source
within, is, in a way, the beginning of a new life. Awareness takes the place of
consciousness; in consciousness there is the 'I', who is conscious while
awareness is undivided; awareness is aware of itself. The 'I am' is a thought,
while awareness is not a thought, there is no 'I am aware' in awareness.
Consciousness is an attribute while awareness is not; one can be aware of being
conscious, but not conscious of awareness. God is the totality of
consciousness, but awareness is beyond all -- being as well as not-being."
