AFTER
GOD REALISATION, WHAT NEXT?
In My Experience
first the mind stops. No more aimless involuntary thought.
That happens in existence. Then there's the realisation of
immortality (one with all life). Then the realisation of nothing,
or God being responsible for everything. Then emptiedness
(not emptiness. Emptiness is what people have in the depths
of despair when their frustrated desire patterns are choking
them. The realised man has been emptied - by grace). Then
the realisation of supreme being (which is neither nothing
or anything).
All these realisations are of different deepening levels
of God beyond physical existence. Life is not in existence.
Nothing or God is not in existence (except as everything).
The source of emptiedness is certainly not in existence. Nor
is supreme being.
The realisation of divine being at any level has to be brought
into existence. Every realised being is doing this through
his day-to-day activities. Finally, however, there is a higher
purpose - to free the existential being of existence. The
existential being is a lower level of the one divine being.
The higher has to free the lower.
What we're talking of here is ultimate freedom - or unity
of being - beyond the common understanding of these things.
Nor is it necessarily in the knowledge of all realised beings.
I can only say what is in my experience and therefore of my
knowledge.
Freeing the existential being of existence means freedom
from the need for recurrence. Recurrence is not the same as
the personalised notion of reincarnation. Freedom from recurrence
is indeed an all embracing cosmic endeavour, meaning that
the result is beyond life and death. As such it is beyond
rationality but not beyond divine knowledge.
Free in existence is not the same as free of existence. Free
in existence is an inner state of equilibrium that follows
a certain depth of divine realisation. Free of existence is
the absence of the need of recurrence. It's a mistake to believe
that freedom from recurrence simply follows the realisation
of God. God is realised out of existence. Freedom from recurrence
must be done in existence which is the field of recurrence.
It seems to me that freedom from recurrence is only possible
by man who has first attained a level of God realisation equivalent
to divine equilibrium. He has to apply the same one-pointedness
to the love of the principle of woman as he did to reach the
realisation of God that gave him equilibrium - without being
put off by the existential being. The principle of woman is
God in existence for man. And the existential being exists
only because of its blind and self-serving attachment to the
sexuality of woman, instead of devotion to the principle within
her.
To avoid any erroneous assumptions or pretence of God realisation,
divine equilibrium is a constant state free of depression,
mood, doubt, fear and excitement. Depression, doubt, mood,
fear and excitement are characteristics of unconscious sex.
