Everything Arises in What I Am - 4th December 2020
Saar (Essence)
Ananta guides the seeker to recognize the self as the prior, unprovable vastness in which all phenomena arise, pointing toward a divine knowing that exists independent of human faculties.
The self is obvious and yet completely unprovable, undemonstratable, and unspeakable.
Existence is independent of all movement, remaining when every sensation and story is thrown away.
When human faculties are let go, a divine faculty of knowing remains.

Now everything arises in what I am, and there can be nothing there and still I am. In the sense, 'I' is seen to arrive and then this sense 'I' connects to a story, and this can change like watching different movies or playing different computer games. This seems to be the world like this. And then now it's like this: that in which it arises, how is that known? Not as a sensation, not of the thought. It's almost like the vastness of it is recognized because everything is seen to arise in it. So the vastness in a way is also inferred because of the vastness of what shows up within it. But for it, can we even say it is vast or not? No. I guess another way to say it is, existence can be inferred by everything arising within it.
Okay. So now let's say that you were not to infer. Is there another way? Without inference, using human faculties, there's no way to prove that it exists.
Yes, yes, yes.
So when we let go of human faculties, is there a godly faculty? Is there a divine faculty we have but we've been missing?
It seems to be a knowing. Yeah, it seems to be a knowing. It's very obvious and yet completely unprovable.

Yes, yes, yes. Obvious and yet uninferable, unprovable, undemonstratable, unspeakable. And even when there's a sense of, 'Oh, I'm aware of... but I'm feeling it, I'm sensing it, this is what it is,' and then even that is seen. And then it's everything that's just thrown up, thrown away, thrown out. Independent of all of that play, independent of all of that movement. I'm so overjoyed to hear these reports today. I am.
