Being as Consciousness – Nome comments [3]

More spontaneous, deep comments by a World Teacher.

"That should be known as Self Realization in which no alternative is possible, in which there is just one infinite, unconditioned, eternal, homogeneous, formless Self, which is not the cause of anything which is not the effect of any thing else, in which there is nothing else, but which is infinite, with no division, no separation, & which has no parts within it. It is absolute & not in relation to anything else, but just is as it is. As for anything else, it also is just the same Absolute. To realize this is very simple. It is simpler than even a thought.  It is simpler than the idea of  "I". That divine simplicity lies where you are alone with no "I" to disturb you."                                                         Master Nome

Embellishing comment on the text is impossible in this case.  More to the point this time is the issue of realizing the above directly within oneself.  To rest in the superficial "I", for just an instant, & then sink as Consciousness, with full intensity, in toward the True Self & abide there peacefully brings effortless Self-Realization in short or long order.  Whatever the time, whatever the effort – it’s worth it.

The quote itself is one of the most complete & insightful definitions of Self-Realization to be found anywhere, in any language.
