Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

(Darren Dugan) #1

With the latter path the heart opens from the
sheer power of the energies aroused. There is a full
involvement of the entirety of one’s being at every
moment, while emotions and energies constantly rip
apart all one’s beliefs and former attachments, such as
to social gracefulness, etiquette, former attachments,
etc., and one just madly pursues their true love, which
is one’s own Self, but which may first be found in
another.
How to get you to transverse both paths? That is
my constant question. Like Nisargadatta and Robert, I
constantly appear to contradict myself because all
verbal communication is in words, and words are
fixed, while peoples’ minds can be fluid. What I say to
one on one day, I will contradict the next day in
responding to another. After a while you begin to see
the correctness of the answer I gave to one on a
specific day, and the opposite answer I gave to another
the next day. Each was stuck at a different place and
each required a separate, unsticking answer.
U.G. Krishnamurti stated that as part of the
awakening process he called “The Calamity,” he could
no longer think. Words just did not make sense to
him. His mind could not wrap around any word or
sentence. He saw a reality that was wordless and could
not relate the network of thought to that new world.
They were two very different things.
