Theos-Talk Archives (October 1999 Message tt00033)

Hi Randy,
I like the subject since I entertained that sometime ago, and this is what came
out of it.

1- I will be aware that I have consciousness. (I know there are many ways  to
say it clearer)
2- Duality is perceived, as me and 'else'.
3- If I don't have any mystical experiences of totality, oneness, of Yoga, I
will stay in this duality mode of consciousness forever, and explanations about
Cosmos and consciousness will be of a materialistic, animistic, magical,
nature, but I will not approach the Monistic philosophical view.

4- If I have any true mystical experiences, I will experience Oneness.

5- And from that Oneness, Wholeness, or Beness, I probably will come up with
visions and explanations  about the origin of the Cosmos and of the
Consciousness, essentially similar to any ancient religion, philosophy, etc.


Hope to spark a dialogue.
