It is only ever believed to be separate, to be a "thing among things".<br /><br />Therefore emancipation is always here. It does not come in new. Emancipation is your true nature. Wanting emancipation is the only thing obscuring it.<br /><br /><br />love<br />randallRandall Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004296258866577268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102779776758563952.post-22595059302221735942010-09-26T13:27:28.732-04:002010-09-26T13:27:28.732-04:00Satya,

That naked seeing is conditionless - all comes and goes without any condition, just like a mirror doesn't prefer one reflection and resist reflecting the next.<br /><br />The naked seeing is always there - the mechanism of desire comes but is reflected without condition. Therefore Joy or love or peace is not a time-bound state, not a result of anything found or accomplished. It is just your natural "state", your "self" is naturally unconditional. That is just noticed. <br /><br />When you say "I AM" - aren't you ultimately pointing to that naked seeing?<br /><br /><br />love<br />randallRandall Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004296258866577268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102779776758563952.post-58737924903232798222010-09-26T13:23:28.771-04:002010-09-26T13:23:28.771-04:00Eleanor,
Hello my friend.
Yes, it doesn't ...Eleanor,<br /><br />Hello my friend. <br /><br />Yes, it doesn't mean no desires will ever arise again. Just the opposite! Desires are free to come and go, yet there is no continual self-reference - nothing to pin it upon your Self. Ultimately Joy is found not as a result of these desires but as the freedom from the self-reference inherent within desires. <br /><br />So desires come but it's an activity of the whole, a natural play, it isn't identified or tied to a small part. Your Self is all there is - Joy is another word for the absence of conditions. Desires come reflected in that conditionless-ness. <br /><br />love<br />randallRandall Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004296258866577268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102779776758563952.post-28303555960242980392010-09-26T13:14:47.603-04:002010-09-26T13:14:47.603-04:00Mary - good to hear from you again my friend.

Looking back on this, Joy would seem to be another state, like the pain of the headache? There is the feeling now of simple Joy, just this. It looks that the naked seeing is just empty, yet full of life, vibrant! This can be called joy then? It does seem joyous, and yesterday's seeing was just seeing, yet pain was in the body experience.

It may be known that 'I' do not desire anything; I have awareness OF these desires, aware OF the feelings & experiences which arise, come and go, and which are not mine personally. And yet, whilst this delivers freedom of personal attachment to the desires/wanting change/seeking it has not brought bliss or joy, just acceptance…. <br /><br />The search then can be perpetuated by seeking to end desire, or seeking the joy that others describe so frequently as their permanent state… I am yet to hear of enlightenment described as contented resignation to the fact that there is no I to do anything but be awareness of. And yet WHO is there to either continue searching or cease wanting anything to be different? This is the interesting situation (bondage?)
