The Luminous Continuity of Self-Awareness
More quiet than sound, brighter than light, softer than touch. The first move has not yet begun, yet heaven’s radiance is already pulsing in sweeps of daily life. Never not seen, like the sun, the blazing glory of the sky, my heart is a streaming confluence of focus, where all the brilliant points serve to establish and locate the Absolute nature of my consciousness.
Before thought, I am pure sound. Before sight, I am pure beauty. Before touch, I am pure form. All so absolutely still, that stillness must stir. The empty Absolute flatness naturally has clothed itself with splendor and has become the wholeness of my consciousness. I am a central furnace of pure energy, establishing heaven’s glory as my heart, as my mind, as my body, and as my environment.
Absolute Self-Consciousness, the entire, glorious center of universal and personal events, sits supreme in my heart—everyone’s heart—in pristine stillness. From there, the pure light of consciousness—of God—radiates the luminous essence of structure all around me, in perfect balance, humming as knowledge, vibrating to form. I am encircled by the majesty of absolute consciousness; an unshakeable silence that shimmers as creation. Cosmic love has condensed into my awareness as infinite, golden grains of sparkling knowing. Pure awareness is unspent, unbound, eternally awake, infinitely expanded, with God in wonderful proximity, circling, singing heaven’s touch, to my heart, to everyone’s heart, to the heart of the world.
Today, as on other days, I noticed, while walking, that I was surrounded by a thickness of delicate, yet obvious pure, soft white light in the shape of a radiating sphere. This field of conscious perception that extends around me, has a clear tangible form and location, and this form of pure, transparent, crystalline structure moves with my body through an even more subtle ocean of awareness, like a defined river flowing through a vast ocean, neither merging into the other, both maintaining their eternal status as Self-Consciousness. Neither river nor ocean, is affected by anything whatsoever; one totally unbounded silence, the other, a flowing, brilliant container of primordial knowledge and energy, a delightful concentration within infinite points of my individual perception.
Within this experience is the knowledge of the relationship of pure knowledge to expressed knowledge as daily life, of how the Absolute can move as its own structure, within the dynamics of my own self-awareness. In the process of realizing my Self Awareness, nothing got subtracted. It was a purely additive process. This was actually my whole realization: that everything is a wonderful continuum is actually nothing but my consciousness—everyone’s consciousness. This understanding opened the doors of my perception and nudged my heart, mind, body, and earthly-to-divine-environment— all realized in precise layers—into the wide-open state of Self-Wakefulness.
When enough layers of knowledge and perception remained permanently open to my awareness, (when I no longer dipped in and out of any experiences) then, at one point, a sort of abstract, living understanding of wholeness dawned. Then more and more clarity within the details of its organization and structure, unfolded. An undeniable, all-inclusive, sparkling gift of knowingness became an ever-present bubbling of my heart, my mind, and my senses, automatically revealing the Self-Aware experience and knowledge as the full content my existence.
Dear Harri,
I began to listen to your series of talks with Rick Archer on BAT GAP. I just read this page being on your website for the first time. I want you to know how deeply moved I am to hear you speak or read about your experiences with the Divine and Absolute. It helps me immensely. I was on the IA Course for five years and knew just when your experiences were being read. The deep integration of Maharishi’s knowledge is so very lively in your expressions. I see again that there is no end to this inner universe of mine from your words. Also, hearing you has helped me see that I am not the only one to feel that every time I get settled in a most refined experience, it all gets shattered to bits in a few days and moved to the side, while I am presented with a new incredible experience as the speed of growth increases. I have written out my experiences and shared them at the dome often. Each time I share, I grow so much. Each time I write down my experiences into words, I grow tremendously in the experience. I experience the celestial and the deep movement of Brahm in each program. The feelings I get when I look at Hubble pictures of galaxies is so intimate. I know this is my world. The big movement in my inner universe of this incredible churning love just fills my heart and every fiber of my Being. I am so devoted to my inner life. It is everything to me. It really helps to hear you talk and read your words because I feel a greater familiarity with where I am going in this tremendous inner journey. Thank you so much for sharing. Jai Guru Dev Diane Aitchison I am going to also share my dear friend’s website with you. She, too, was on the IA Course. She is an artist and draws what she sees.
