That is not what is meant by the Present’s ALLNESS.








THIS is the only ALL there is.

  1. Many many thanks, Peter.

    A heart-felt Bow!

    Yes, one could easily see that it is the popping up of the sore finger – the experiencing separate “me” – that throws out a ‘would-be problem’ or even ‘love’ as one of the other commentators seems to point out!

    In the “Wholeness” of What Is (without trying to give names or creating an itemized list of the mishmash), whatever IS, is. Nobody even to feel or tell a story of love or problem. One could have that ‘taste’ of It, though not be able to abide in IT forever.


    Having said all that, a question still looms — what is this sub-sub-component which is bestowed with a ‘sentience’?

    Frans de Waal’s research on primates and studies using fMRI on humans in the lab does show that we are hard wired for ‘fairness’. So we(the sub-sub-components) are designed to be intolerant of ‘unfairness.’ Strangely, what is ‘fair’ to one may be unfair to another. Hence a conflict situation arises, when the sentient sub-sub-unit senses it because it is designed to sense and cannot help otherwise. Or conflict is built-in to arise within and by that WHOLENESS!!

    Surmounting or ‘transcending’ that built-in sentience to sense and react is what we term ‘Lieration.’ This is also same as the ‘collpse of individuating self.’

    Agreed that there is no one even to feel or to say that there is a brain in that position (a bad word for lack of a better one) of Oneness of Wholeness, can we rule out that all these things (including Wholeness or separate ‘me’) are just a play, happenstances, in the brain?

    Once again with many thanks for your time and clarity of expression,
    [P.S. If other participants have a feeling that this correspondence is disturbing and unnecessary, perhaps, we can leave at that.]

  2. Greetings Peter,
    As usual your posts continue to inspire. You remind me of Philippe Petit’s ‘Man On Wire’ a film directed by James Marsh. The film leaves you in breathless amazement.

    Immense Appreciation!

  3. Hi ramesam,

    Sorry for the delay…In response to your question as to whether or not it can be ruled out that “all these things (including Wholeness or a separate ‘me’) are just a play, happenstances in a brain.”

    Yes. Again, as Life’s “premise” or only way of being is as Pure Present-ness, Its Present-ness (Wholeness) is not a product of a brain, nor a concept had by a brain. Where only the Present is, there has been no past in which a brain could have been created–nor could there even be a dream that is dreaming up that there is a brain. Only Pure Present-ness.

    To One who “starts from” Pure Present-ness (and this is what the Conscious Present Itself is “doing”) there is ONLY Its Present-ness, and no prior patterns of any kind–thus no patterns of created human bodies with brains, no prior mental patterns, therefore no sentience, no conditions of fairness or unfairness, no such state of being hard-wired.

    Where only Present-ness is, there is no one becoming liberated, no individuating self that is collapsing, and no other having even the highest mental concepts of Wholeness or Present-ness–because in Pure Present-ness, absolutely nothing prior has happened or ever does happen.

    The Present Itself is not trying to account for such things, and Its Allness leaves no other to do so.

    That is the “blunt” answer–and is not the Present Itself rather “blunt” in being all that is present? In a sense, the Present is absolutely intolerant of, and does not permit other “viewpoints”–not because It is arrogant or insensitive–but simply because only Itself IS.

  4. The jaw drops!

    Can’t say a word more.

    That is the Highest Truth, The Only One Truth, No-second, as all the ancient Indian scriptures and Sages holler from roof-tops.

    Thank you Peter for patiently and repeatedly drawing our attention to that Truth.

    We wish we could speak from ‘there’ or in that Oneness even speech (‘other’) doesn’t exist.

    In the meanwhile we still keep wondering at and investigating the colorful manifestation of the manifold, its mathematical precision, scientific cohesion and philosophical underpinning driven by energy transformations and the need of ‘food’ for each of the transformation.

    Thanks again and regards,
