by Tony Parsons
"all there is" by Tony Parsons is the most genuine and accomplished books on, mmmm, spirituality I’ve ever read. I hesitate in calling this a spiritual book because it kind of imprisons the book by doing so and this book more than any other should not be bracketed in any way. Because this book is so much more than that. At its essence is a message that says we The Applehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827188058633529518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035266.post-1079707574231069572004-03-19T14:46:00.000Z2004-03-22T09:58:09.513ZGangaji extract from 'You are that' volume 2

To discover the absolute core of any state, be absolutely still as a state appears or disappears. Be unmoving. When the conditioned tendencies to move away from a state or toward a state arise, relax your mind.

The mind has not power to prevent one from recognising his true nature, unless this one prefers to postpone this recognition. I feel that there is still, in you, some waiting for an event called 'enlightenment' at the end of a purification process. See the absurdity of this. It is more of the same game of rejecting the now.

All that we can give to anybody or anything is our attention. Check for yourself and see if this is true. Where your attention is, is what you experience.

You will find metaphors used a great deal in advaitic literature, because the subject matter is ultimately ineffable. If you can accept this, then it should be possible to extract from the metaphor that element which transmits the idea that is being expressed and ignore the remaining shortcomings

Searching for happiness in objects and achievement of any kind is a fundamental error and can only bring about a temporary happiness. In fact, it doesn't bring about happiness at all. What is really happening is that once we get what it is we think is going to make us happy (object, achievement etc) we temporarily stop searching.

"Your whole life as it has been written and spoken and acted out is proven to be simply a fantasy. The shock is to see how much is invested in that as reality; how much it is being squeezed for the nectar of truth. You even bring Satsang in to that story so that it will end in glory.

My wife once asked me how to stop thinking. I say do not 'try' to stop thinking. This is what we usually do. We attempt to stop our thoughts by thinking further. We attempt to get to a state of peace, happiness, by thinking our way there. This could be anything from justifying something in our past or looking forward to Friday or will my girlfriend leave me and on and on.

Stillness is not brought about by not thinking. Stillness is absolutely beyond the presence or absence of thought. I cannot make myself still, but when that which appears not to be still is seen, then that seeing emanates from stillness.
