Peace that does not Fade Away

Some report that "Peace Slips Away" after attending satsang or retreat. What is the nature of this "back and forth" that is commonly experienced by Truth Lovers? What causes the "separate self" to arise and apparently steal away the sense of tranquility?

Today, Francis Lucille offers an answer to two very direct questions: Are other people real and Am I talking to myself?

The first question requires us to investigate exactly what is meant by the word reality. Much of our confusion stems from the assumption that we understand words we speak the same; nothing could be further from the truth. In this case, we must carefully explore the meaning of the word "real."

The great mystery is how the mind attempts to reject, modify or co-opt the Truth in an attempt to hold onto it's belief systems. The simplicity of Francis answer here takes our breath away as it leaves no doubt whatsoever regarding this matter

What is Truth?

Exploring the Gospel of Thomas

Exactly, what do we mean when we say that something is true? If something is true, it would have to be absolute, wouldn’t it? What would truth be other than that which never changes? If it changes, could it be Truth?

This being the case, no matter which spiritual path or tradition is followed, it stands to reason that, eventually, that which is discovered should be the same.

And we find that this is true when we investigate all of the great traditions—Hinduism, Sufism, Buddhism, Christianity ,Judiasm, even Science (a religion in itself!). All reach exactly the same non dual certainties.

Today, we investigate The Christ, and the amazing discovery of The Gospel of Thomas. No doubt this Gnostic Gospels are quite divergent from the Gospel of John, as an example. If they had been placed in the Modern Bible, Christ’s teachings would have been clearer and more focused on the non duality, the oneness, of “the human family and God.”

The Illusion of The Continuity of the Body

Some express anger and resistance when we begin to explore the reality of our true experience of the body and world. It seems that this fundamental deconstruction threatens our desire to “change the world” as opposed to changing our beliefs about it.

No where is this more obvious than with respect to out experience of the body as being localized and continuous.

These explorations must be deep, thorough and gentle to yield the fruit of the secrets held in our sensory perceptions and bodily sensations.

It is here that the experiential prize of advaita is hidden: behind the ignorance of the body.
