The Gifts of Avadhuta Gita #1

There is but one antidote
to the poison of
highly dangerous passions,
which beget infatuation, and
that is to return to the Self.

Self is unapproachable
by the emotions,
is ever formless and
independent.

Hidden in the realm of
eternal consciousness
lies the world’s cause.
Within this cause
is Reality.

The husk of a coconut
is the world,
the pulp is the cause, and
the sweet cool water
encased in the pulp is Reality.

Like the full moon is the Self.
See It in all.
Duality is the product of
defective vision.
As there is only one moon
so there is only one Self in all.

May God bless and protect you

Nightly Spiritual Quote #358 Biocentrism

“It is easy to recall from everyday experience that neither electricity nor magnetism have visual properties. So, on its own, it’s not hard to grasp that there is nothing inherently visual, nothing bright or colored about that candle flame. Now let these same invisible electromagnetic waves strike a human retina, and if (and only if) the waves each happen to measure between 400 and 700 nanometers in length from crest to crest, then their energy is just right to deliver a stimulus to the 8 million cone-shaped cells in the retina. Each in turn sends an electrical pulse to a neighbor neuron, and on up the line this goes, at 250 mph, until it reaches the warm, wet occipital lobe of the brain, in the back of the head. There, a cascading complex of neurons fire from the incoming stimuli, and we subjectively perceive this experience as a yellow brightness occurring in a place we have been conditioned to call “the external world.” Other creatures receiving the identical stimulus will experience something altogether different, such as a perception of gray, or even have an entirely dissimilar sensation. The point is, there isn’t a “bright yellow” light “out there” at all. At most, there is an invisible stream of electrical and magnetic pulses. We are totally necessary for the experience of what we’d call a yellow flame. Again, it’s correlative.”
