~ Transmission of Truth ~
ADVISORY: Contains Nudity
Ultimate truth is inner understanding and awareness, symbolized often by light or nudity.
[I have seen the truth, and it doesn't make sense.]
[Truth - Love - Power]
[Truth Is Love]
[Don't Silence the Truth: Truth in Love]
Ultimate truth is realized three ways: by aleatory happening, by seeking alone, or through a guru.
A guru is a spiritually enlightened master, one who is master of his self, ego and mind.
Osho: Guida Spirituale, 1998 (paraphrased excerpts)
When an experience is changed into explanation, something is lost in the verbalization.
When the explanation is further changed from one language to other, something is lost in translation.
The transmission of ultimate truth has to be understood deeply in order to understand explanations.
[Bodies: Physical, Etheric, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual]
Truth is oneness. Truth is nondual. All language is dualistic.
Language can only approximate the truth to some degree and point to the truth.
No language is able to express an inner experience, a subjective experience.
Language is created for the objective world, about things and about people.
No language has been created to express the innermost center of your being.
When two persons of the same experience meet, there is no need to say anything.
Their very presence, their very silence, the depth of their eyes and the grace of their gestures is enough.
There are only three possible situations. First, two enlightened beings meet. Then language is not needed.
They both meet beyond language. Their meeting is the meeting of no-mind.
The second situation is if two unenlightened people meet.
They will talk much and use great words, with much philosophy and metaphysics, but it will all be meaningless.
Their words will not be supported by their experience. They are just parrots, repeating other people's words.
They cannot create a language for the buddhas. They have no idea what it is in the innermost center of your being.
The third possibility is a meeting between an enlightened person and an unenlightened person.
The enlightened person knows. The unenlightened person does not know.
[Guru: The Spiritual Master in Eastern and Western Traditions: Authority and Charisma]
But although the enlightened person knows, it is not enough to convey it.
To know is one thing; to transfer it into language is another thing. Something is lost in transmission.
[Lost in Transmission? What Can We Know about the Words of Jesus?]
You know what love is. You can sing and dance about it, but you cannot say a single word about what love is.
You can be overwhelmed by it. You can know the absolute experience of love.
But still you cannot bring even a fragment of love into words. Words are not meant for it.
And to transfer love from one language to another language is almost impossible.
Initial verbalization is distortion. Translation to another language adds to the distortion.
The transmission of truth is made in silence and stillness. Nothing is said, but everything is heard.
The transfer of understanding occurs in deep, inner silence and stillness.
Silence is not soundless. Stillness is not only physical.
[Speaking Silence: Speak in Silence]
Near an enlightened being, with no language or communication, energy overflows to others.
[Speaking of Silence]
There is only one energy. It appears in different forms.
The transmitted message is not linguistic. The message is existential.
[Silence - the purest music匽
The enlightened master can only create a certain situation in which, if you are receptive, you can be transformed.
This transformation is a discontinuity. Your old personality will fade away, and your original face will show.
The face that you are carrying right now is given to you by the society, by the culture, by the education, by the parents.
Your personality (persona or mask) is not your originality.
Your originality has been covered with all kinds of lies, convenient to society and vested interests (social conditioning).
[Mind Filters: Delete, Distort, and Generalize Information to Fit Prior Conditioning]
Filters of the Mind: 99% does not fit and is deleted, the remaining 1% is distorted so as to fit, and everything is generalized.
But with an enlightened master, your personality is going to drop just as dead leaves drop.
You will remain utterly naked, as you were born. All knowledge that you have borrowed will disappear.
You will be as innocent as a child. In this innocence there is no need to say anything.
The enlightened master does nothing in the transmission.
Just being in his or her presence, slowly your heart starts being in a kind of synchronicity with the master's heart.
[Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle, by C.G. Jung]
[Silent Resonance]
By and by you melt in the warmth and unconditional love of the master.
To accept unconditional love, totally accept yourself without rejection or repression.
Understanding of repressions brings change. They drop on their own accord. You do nothing.
Understanding brings awareness. Bring a light into darkness, and the darkness disappears on its own accord.
Buddha said that in his experience, at least two years is the time necessary to complete the process.
More than 500 disciples became spiritually enlightened buddhas as members of Gautama Buddha's commune.
All those scholars, monks, priests and teachers are parrots.
They go on talking about witnessing and watching, but they do not have the experience.
Belief is a substitute for truth, a pretense, a cover for ignorance and lack of personal experience.
Without teaching about witnessing, the master makes you a witness through silence.
The moment you find your permanent witness, you have found your ultimate eternal being.
That is your purest consciousness. That makes you a buddha, and it is everybody's potential.
A silent individual becomes one with all existence.
Two silent individuals together merge into one silence.
[All One Now: Let Us Open Our Hearts in Unity and Heal the World]
The message: You are a buddha; just you have forgotten it.
[Embrace the Stillness]
To experience truth, go within, beyond the mind, to the innermost center of being.
[Mind the Gap]
