Nothing Has Ever Really Happened to Consciousness - 15th February 2018
Saar (Essence)
Ananta explains that the unchanging reality cannot be found within phenomenal existence, as consciousness itself orchestrates both the play of limited individuality and the eventual dissolution of delusion into the absolute.
You will never find the unchanging on the side of the 'I am'; you must cross the portal.
The entire world is just dancing to the tunes of consciousness alone.
Nothing has ever really happened to us; the play of delusion and its dissolution are both consciousness.

The beautiful part about this is that these truly spiritual notions are Atmic. So when you say, "Every time changing," you right away can feel like, "I have to find something which is unchanging and yet phenomenal." And yet, you will never find it on the side of the "I ams." You'll never find the unchanging on this side of the "I am." You'll have to cross this portal of beingness. And here's a taste of it in your Antahkarana. But ultimately, this is changing. What is the aware of this? Then you see the vast potential of these notions. I'm changing the one witness of all of these.
This world, this play, is just dancing to the tunes of Ram alone. So if the longing in consciousness appearing will is to experience its individuality, because it has much sugar and spice in this world to please the limited one, so at points everything can seem to point to a limited you. Oh, so easy. But when the longing changes and the quality of the play is that consciousness wants to change the channel, so from this limited play to the play as consciousness itself, it makes it seem like, "Oh, same stuff is actually pointing to the reality of Brahman."
Both of them—the delusion consciousness playing and the dissolution of the delusion—also consciousness playing. Nothing has ever really happened to consciousness.
