we are the shadow of consciousness on the material world

brilliant, nicely put my friend.

“Humanity ones only religion, Breath ones only prayer, Consciousness ones only God”

consciousness is stillness of mind
just a suggestion but if if you try meditation / breathing slowly
correctly try not to think any thought as long as you can
an you will be on the correct path to enlightenment
kundalini yoga is great for this formlessness is the way

Thank you! What do you think of Kundalini Yoga taught by Yogi Bhajan?

Where is his spiritual experience? It is amazing how easy it is to critique someone over the internet when you don’t have to see them. Why are you looking for experiences online? Get to practice!

Incidentally, minutes before this was filmed, he shared his clairvoyance with everyone in the audience and allowed them to see him physically transform into Moses and Sri Yukteswar. How about that for an experience? But he understands this can’t be presented on film.

it makes so much sense now
thank you

i am the emptiness, the fullness, and the container that holds them both.

I am both the bow, the arrow and the target.

I am the cake that I am eating right now

your life is a stream by which all others flow

We are the same as a newborn baby, but we are just a more developed form of that baby. So we have the same Spirit within us all, but he has developed his Spiritual idenity more than most of us. so, therefore i do not see it as ego personally. This comment is in respect
peace

no tongue has soiled it

Try defining God, or love, or happiness. you will find that your words don’t define much, but they point towards the meaning you are trying to convey. I could write many books describing the beauty of my wife’s eyes, and although my words might be beautiful, and precise, they can never replace the experience, nor can they explain it or define it. I have read about love, and wondered if i could ever feel such passion. When I look into my wife’s eyes, howeverI have no doubt that I am in love.

I appreciate your response, however it brings me no closer to an answer. Talking of consciousness as being ‘buried deep inside’ and awareness having one or more spacial locations is tricky stuff. I suppose what I am asking is, how would I recognize ‘consciousness’ and ‘awareness’ if I were to encounter them? How would I konw I am not confusing it for something else, or that my experience of them is the same or different than someone elses?

this is not a metaphysical philosophy, it is reality. i’m not trying to discourage you from building a philisophical framework that is cohesive and comprehensive, but consciousness is buried deep inside your brain. you are talking about them as if they are not an aspect of you. if you want to understand consciousness, you will want to disassemble your framework of ideas. The answers you seek are all inside you; instead of asking where awareness can be found, ask where it can not be found.

God is not just a word. It’s a concept/notion. Are we talking about the same thing here? If you refer to God as the highest state one can achieve (buddhahood) then I have no objection. But if God was meant to be the Creator/Ruler then you were just simply mistaken as that concept was rejected by the Buddha, so was the self! I agree with you about the importance of experience though. Best of luck to you on your path too! How far have you been walking on it may I ask?

Buddha was not a buddhist. Jesus was not a Christian. God is just a word. Words inform, but Experience transforms. To understand the mind of the Buddha, you yourself have to be a Bodhisattva. Therefore in my opinion its better to meditate more and talk less. Best to you on your path. ~hy

Do u now what you’re talking about bro? God plainly doesn’t exist in Buddhsim, especially one that was taught by the Buddha. Please do some reading before sharing your knowledge. BTW, do you know what the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path are?

Belief and experience are two separate things. Buddha taught to not believe, but to experience God. Yogiraj is descended from the same solar lineage as Gautama the Buddha, who was an Indian yogi with Nath yogi gurus Aradhya Kalam and Udraka Ramputra. Om Shanti ~hy

guru means one who dispels the darkness!!

exactly..pureawareness!

The Buddha believes in no god, especially when the word is used to refer to the All Mighty Creator.

I think what he meant is equal in nature but not status. Through self endeavor status can rise up, but the nature is still there. Like the Buddha said (and this is my favorite quote): “I am a buddha being, you are all buddhas to be.”

hi i love listening to all gurus my friend has a guru it means g you are you am i right we are all the same and we all beleive in the one god in any religion great work keep it up maura ireland

a genius
