Yes, I think meditation will help; it establishes distance and helps to regain power over the mind through that indifference. You’ll have to decide for yourself, if you can do it without stressing about then I would think it will help. By withdrawing your attention away from the chatter will eventually take away its reason to chatter but since it needs an audience it might get worse before it gets better. As long as it doesn’t upset you, your persistence will pay off.

No, the body not so much and when you go in and observe the internal blood flow and feel the energy vibrating within which allows you to conserve energy and rebalance the internal flow. This will dampen the trigger mechanism between the mind and body by you disengaging from controlling the process.

Well no, I’m extremely confident because I no longer rely on wrong, questionable or borrowed information. It’s the result from knowing your-Self firsthand and you can’t help that. I would never be this way if the information I’m giving wasn’t Self-proven. This way I’m not making anything up or using someone else’s information as my own, and how people handle it really depends on what their hanging onto, because the Truth is nonnegotiable. It is as It is and I’m this way because of It, otherwise I’d have nothing to say about this. I personally can’t change nor would I want too because the design in not mine to tamper with and nether are the results. I do my best in putting It into words and that’s the best I can do.

I’m not in it for the notoriety and that’s one reason why my name, face and résumé isn't on this and I don’t need the money so teaching in public gives me not much in return except for new problems. But, if I do you’ll never see me dressed in a white or orange robe, nor will I change my name to something more spiritual, and those traits are something that you have to watch out for with a discerning eye when searching, especially with western teachers.

You don’t believe in me so I really can’t help you because you have closed yourself off. But my advice to people like you is to drop all ideologies because they are really useless, unnecessary and counterproductive to your cause.

The best reply that validates a serious seeker is: I really don’t know because I've been feed so much information that I don’t know where to stand at all, so all I can do is give up, surrender, empty it all and I'll find out for myself. You have to come to that proverbial door like that with empty hands. Don’t make a stand on information that is not yours and dig your heals in. That’s usually the downfall for the seeker, because no one can help them if they don’t venture in and find their own voice via their own experiences and ask questions based on that.

Seekers willing to apply themselves to the cause with an open mind without tying down are getting ready to make a stand on their own determination in order to verify things firsthand through their own practice. Teachers just point you in the right direction; they aren't a replacement for your ideals and thoughts, they are nothing more than guides for the seeker. And the unserious seekers usually drop anchor in an ideology freezing spiritual growth.

I was perfectly civilized, I did not use any offensive language. Your attitude was so arrogant, i could not believe it.
As to ur reason for being completely full of yourself it is totally wrong. You have not understood any of the teachings, enlightenment does not mean we only see one side of the coin, au contraire, it is the recognition of our wholeness. Yes the Soul is always pure and perfect being one aspect of the Beloved, but that is only acknowledging one part of a multidimensional being, She is whole yes, but what is the point if She does not know it or experience it, so She Heraelf extends( expresses) Herself in time and space which are the way through which She can know Her own beauty and know Her Source as Herself, but she never rejects different expressions of Herself, She grows within time and space in darkness with the limited Light of the Father leading Her to Herself, She seaches for Herself and Her Father, When She reaches Her Truth She is able to experience Herself as She is before the beginning, She then is that mysterious one able to merge fully with Her Source or having created a degree of separation is able to experience the most sacred Love that She is within the Creator of all that is. The soul is all that She expresses she denies none of it, if she did She would never birth Herself in this illusory dimension, She is both Perfect as Her Father and growing in Her Knowing of Herself and ultimately of God. This is the sacred purpose of each one of us, That which She is eternally and that which She is in time is exactly as it should be, perfect, She is creating moment from moment her way back Home which paradoxically is right Here. as one of the greatest masters who has ever lived said:
What is the sign of the Father within you? say to them "it is movement and rest"The Soul is both, moving through time and at rest within the One. You say that time and eternity do not mix well, but u r wrong it is all perfect, time itself is a gift to yourself from your Self, given freely so that you could know yourSelf, experience yourSelf, duality and non duality are truly one, they complete each other. Being one with God, you cannot experience yourself or God, time and space although illusory and dismissed in many enlightened individuals are precious and serve a sacred purpose, for every unique Soul to birth Herself within it, fully conscious and to know Her Beloved, which is impossible in oneness. Do u realize how being born in this dimension was the reason why u were able to know who u are, be thankful.
So, He is not denigrating the Soul, He has a knowledge way beyond any tradition or limited concepts, his teachings are that of completeness, wholeness. There so much more to say but hey too long.

What, you can’t be civil?

It’s perfectly ok to disagree with someone but it’s not ok to say that! Please be nice to people! Especially when it’s just a disagreement. Respectfully state your case and we can have a respectful dialog. If that’s too much to ask then please don’t respond.

I really didn't want to analyze his stuff because once I read misleading information I have to react because this is what it’s all about, the real truth and nothing else matters by comparison. I give it a voice without much ideology and that’s hard to do because we all have remnants of old ideology that hangs around. Religion has done more than its share in this regard and this reminds me of that. They preach the Soul is sinable, downgradeable, imperfect and not made of eternity thus forever less than perfect so we need help from them or their prophets in order to be cleansed….. This gives me an idea for my next blog on my other site.

Time and Eternity doesn't mix well and to think that the Soul is born in time or a product of time means it will never be eternal and it will never see Eternity. And thank God that’s not true and thank God for this wonderful gift of eternal life that we all bestow despite the wrongful ideologies which insists on imperfection where only Perfection dwells.

The very Soul that is in all of us is a small spec of the Almighty, which forever remains perfect and eternal giving us eternal life and that’s what you Realize via Enlightenment.

Wow, what can i say, all this seems to be way beyond you. If it bored u that much u did not have to do it, a simple answer explaining how above u these teachings r, would have been enough.
I am sorry i have ever asked you to explain, you obviously are full of yourself. Do not give up the day job, i do not think u would do a good job teaching. Speaking lovely words is not enough, although i am not self realized, i can feel in my heart that you are full of ego strutting your stuff, nothing more. As for the writing of Anadi u obviously missed a very important aspect about the Soul, u equate the Soul as the Almighty, as God but He tells us that the Soul is not God (the Whole)and never will be, the Soul is a unique angle of perception through which God recognizes Herself and Her creation, The soul is able to know herself within the dream and realize her oneness with the divine, it is a complex beautiful mystery. Many ignorant people who read Nisargadatta ( a true self realized soul whose blueprint or destiny was to only realize the Absolute, a very extreme case, not many souls are destined to realize this) and other advaita teachers have assumed they have realised the ultimate, sadly within their self realization they have kept certain concepts that r well hidden, giving them the delude belief that "I am That" I am the Absolute, no u r not the Absolute, u r not God, how arrogant and sadly laughable, THAT is all there is YES, but you r not THAT, THAT is you, THAT is the soul, THAT is all, individually manifested in the dream of time and space. Who is the one that realizes the Absolute/God, it is not God it is the soul, surely if God "wakes up to Himself in one person then He would awaken to himself in everyone else because in ur theory u deny the one who recognizes God. Anyway, i am finished, saddened of discovering another so called self realized one losing the plot. I am sure that i will get completely trashed for writing this but honestly do u even see how deluded this all is.

The Teachings of Anadi Kristof:

“Now we shall speak about the foundation of all — being. All creation is contained within the dimensionless sphere of primordial absence, the original void that constitutes the ground of being. Being is indeed the secret of existence and the unseen source of creation.”

“The dimensionless sphere of primordial absence” This of course is the Absolute Space of Eternity, the ultimate source of all things which is the ‘primordial absence’ of all appearances and words except for Pure Being. Being, or in other words being Aware of Being, or Aware of ones existence in Eternity, which is the act of Self-Realization. This is the secret that is present for all to behold but this secret is unknown by the eyes of manifestation, because only the Eye of the Soul can behold the ‘Void.’

“Although being is not an active principle, in its absence, not even the slightest movement in existence can take place. Without being, nothing can be and nothing can become. This infinite space of immobile reality upon which all universes dwell cannot be fathomed by the mind or the senses, yet it is the very womb of creation, the bottomless depth of universal I am.”

Pure Being (I Am) at the Source is an inactive phenomenon and transitory being in the body is its active counterpart, and if it wasn’t for this still foundation of Being in Eternal Absolute Space the active counterpart of the universe would not be here.

“What does it truly mean to be? Although ‘being’ is one of the most commonly used and seemingly uncomplicated terms in the language of spirituality, very few truly understand its profound significance. Being is far more than non-involvement or passive abidance in the moment. It is the timeless beyond itself, the inmost sphere of pure existence that contains the totality of creation.”

To be or being in the body is an illusion product of time and what is sometimes known today as ‘being’ but timeless Pure Being is beyond all and holds the totality of creation intact just by existing. This Being is far more real than the mere ‘abidance in the moment’ here for this moment is the product of time and thus temporal.

“Being is found beneath the flow of time; it is the very source of this moment. It exists beyond the three-dimensional world of perception, beyond mind and consciousness. It is the black hole of existence through which creation manifests, the primordial emptiness from which consciousness arises in the instantaneousness of each now. It is only through the grace of being that we can transcend our separate self and realize oneness.”

Consciousness in the particle universe arises from the still Awareness of Being which is in Eternity, and consciousness the ever moving (changing) now is Awareness’s child. By the grace of this Awareness of Being at the Source allows us to transcend the particle consciousness and universe in order to Realize our Soul Eternally.

“To experience being, one has to surrender vertically into the inner plane of rest. Unlike ordinary relaxation, which is experienced by the mind and body, being is felt through the inner body of the soul. If the energy body of being is not awakened, one is at most capable of experiencing a weak and insignificant connection to the now, and only in rare moments of complete restfulness and ease. But when one is open to the gravity of the now, being links the soul with the unmanifested reality of the source.”

To experience Pure Being which is not feelable, one has to surrender the impure being (feelable) of time but unlike active rest this is inactive rest which is called meditation. It may seem ‘vertically’ but it isn’t and this is a form of expression. The meditator rests in observance of the physical being which is felt until wakening, and slowly through ones practice one slips into the Samadhi State and at the most, one is able to feel a weak connection to the now of time. There are two ‘now’s’: one is the physical now and the other is the Eternal Now. Both apply here because in the Samadhi State you are at the edge of the Eternal Now and you are able to somewhat experience what it would be like in the Now of the Source. Physical being of the now gives way to the pull of the Soul in the Eternal Now and when the physical now vanishes, Self-Realization happens.

“Through awareness we become present beyond the mind, but we cannot merge. It is being that enables us to achieve true absorption in reality. To be is to dwell within the now — and the now is the portal leading to the dimension of pure being, the place within time through which we are transported into the timeless.”

Awareness is Pure Being and with the help of that Awareness of Being we dip into the Samadhi State but still can’t merge. Dwell there in that being in the thoughtless state of meditation and that will allow true absorption into our true Reality. To remain in being or in the now of being is the act of surrendering which will eventually transport you (not really) to Pure Being. Time really has nothing to do with its own dissolution because the timeless Being does the work when we let go of time and the timeless takes over and dissolves the universe from the inside out.

“The question, ‘Where am I?’, though generally overlooked, is no less important than the primal question, ‘Who am I?’. To gain clarity as to where we actually are, we need to enter the dimension of our abidance in the non-perceptual ground of all-that-is. The question ‘Who am I?’, points to the soul; the question ‘Where am I?’, to being, the primordial source from which the soul manifests. The vastness of the unfathomable depths within which we are who we are can only be discovered through our existential surrender into the void of the beyond.”

He is answering the question of where am I and who am I from the state of Pure Being or the ‘non-perceptual ground of all-that-is.’ “Who am I points to the Soul” or the oneness of the Source but the bigger question is where am I? This can only be understood by those who Realized their Soul within Eternity, however he doesn’t deliver the answer so I will. In fact the Soul has never left Eternity and when you Realize this fact, that you never went anywhere or did anything, it’s quite shocking and amazing, because finding out you never left Pure Being and the illusion of activity and time was only a mirage of manifestation. This is one of the cornerstones of Self-Realization.

“Being is the very essence of the vertical dimension of the now. But when and where is the now? The abode of the now bears no relation to phenomenal existence; it lies beyond all spatial and temporal points of reference. Though here is now, the now is not here; it cannot be found in space, time or consciousness. The now can only be discovered by diving into the source of creation. To enter the now is not a matter of mental contemplation or enquiry, but a function of meditation and surrender.”

The vertical dimension of Absolut Space is not really vertical but all-encompassing and everywhere so vertical must be another word for going in (meditation). There is nothing here in manifestation the bears any resemblance to Eternity because although all around us it is not a product of energy, and energy is nothing but a superimposed curtain. Free from the gross realm of changing opposites the subtle realm of the Source is the only real dimension that really exists, and all else can be classified as a deviation by comparison. To see this place mere contemplation is not enough and it only scratches the surface, however mindless meditation is the key to surrendering by giving up on your false identity for the true identity at the Source.

“What we commonly call the present moment is not of the now, but of the past — it is the now ever-receding from the observer. Ordinary consciousness can only relate to the now through the observer’s recognition of the immediate past; the checking intelligence requires temporal distance from any experience in order to register it. We call this passing now the present moment, yet it is already behind us. An unawakened human cannot actually experience the immediate. His highest expression of mindfulness is awareness of the immediate past. He does not know the now.”

The now of time is always changing because everything we see is really moving and decomposing, and although this now is the freshest and newest experience possible it will always be an illusion compared to the Eternal Now.

“To enter the dimension of the now, and to experience the now in the now, we need to move beyond the inherent duality of experience and experiencer. Our consciousness has to enter the vertical dimension of the source and become one with the now as it manifests from beyond the now, as the now, in each now of creation. The experiencer of time must merge with the root of time in order to establish himself in the state prior to time so that he can witness the now before it becomes the present moment.”

To move beyond this now we have to move beyond consciousness and into the Pure Awareness of the real Now. The real Now is stagnant and it’s not possible to manifest anything There however it does manifest in another dimension bringing forth the physical now. It suffices to say the real Now breeds the timed now into a linear fashion. Once the meditator merges into the Source he Realizes the Eternal Now and witnesses the Absolute Space at the Source before the universe.

“Being is the connective space between consciousness and the now through which consciousness surrenders to, and progressively fuses with the source. In the natural state of being, consciousness is inseparable from both the now and its source. The ultimate observer of the now knows the now through his own absence within the presence of the unmanifested.”

Being is what connects you to Eternity, and surrendering to just being transverses the dimensions. You are the Source and nothing needs ‘fusing’ and there is nothing that is ‘progressively fusing’ to That because the Source is complete as it is. The Soul being That Source doesn’t need that temporal change nor has it ever changed or left its position, only time changes so the consciousness in life changes but all that change is left behind. Awareness being a still form of consciousness is everlasting, and like everything else in life that moves it is still connected to the backdrop of eternal Awareness or Absolute Space. The ultimate observer is the Soul (Awareness) which Realizes its Self eternally within the absence of all forms and in the Now of Absolute Space.

I’m starting to feel like I’m adding a deeper spiritual significance to the words than the author had intended.

“That which enters the domain of the now is our very soul, within which lies the inborn knowledge of the timeless. To know the now is to dwell within the now, to purely experience the taste of being that arises from our unity with the universal source. To embody the now, our existence has to be absorbed into the vertical plane of reality — the supreme depth of being.”

Well, the Soul never left Eternity (so there is no ‘entering’) its permanent home and if it did it wouldn’t be Eternal because that would mean it changes through progression and digression. To know the permanent Now of the Source is to ditch the impermanent now of time and behold the Absolute Now firsthand via the Soul. ‘To embody the Now’ of our eternal existence one has relinquish the changing now.

The Soul is always absorbed in Reality (for it is Reality) and To Realize that is to be Self-Realized, and there is no other absorption because all else is left behind in another dimension. Time and Eternity coexist but on different planes or in different dimensions.

“Unless we gain a degree of mastery over the art of letting go, we will never access the source of consciousness. To let go is to release our whole existence into the vertical dimension and descend with the pull of gravity into the secret space of the bottomless now. Though unseen and intangible, only by the grace of the vertical reality does creation have a place within which to abide.”

Again, the Soul is stationary and the only thing that would descend or arise is the Souls attention or in other words the Souls focal point in matter, which is the Soul’s connection to the body and that, will actually move in deep meditations giving one the feeling of a vertical fall. “Though unseen and intangible” by physical eyes Eternity is only seen by the Soul.

Since I’m starting to lose interest and I’m going to pick out some lines that catch my eye.

“By yielding to the emptiness of being, the soul moves into the dimension of repose and stillness.”

Unfortunately the bad lines stand out more. The Soul doesn’t move away from its eternal abode, it is always in still repose and if you don’t know that then you’re not done.

“Although an ontological dimension beyond our individuality, being is still reached through the soul. As she grows into the now, an infinitesimal portion of universal being is transferred to the soul’s existence, awakening her identity so that she can actualize her complete energy body. Through this inner expansion, the soul develops a new body, the body of being.”

The Soul doesn’t grow into the Now because it is the Now. ‘Universal being’ whether it’s temporal or Pure does not transfer anything or let go of anything away from itself. Nothing leaves this domain and nothing enters this domain for this domain is a vacuum, that keeps all that which is not It away thus leaving Her as Pure as She has ever been. Her (the Soul) identity is always awake for she never sleeps and the ‘energy body’ that the Soul develops into or goes into contradicts Her eternal existence through progression and digression which is a time trait.

“The expansion of the soul into the beyond can occur only through the being aspect of the inner state, for it constitutes the very root of her identity and the space of her abidance in the now.”

The Soul is the beyond, and if it takes expansion means its fundamental principal is time based and changeful, not Eternal.

“When the soul is unawakened, the experience of being is translated as a state of rest in the beyond.”

The Soul is always Awake and it’s the mind that wakes up to a different Reality causing ones identity to change into who they have always been since before time.

I’m waning fast!

“It does not exist apart from the experiencing subject. However, even though the dimension of being is beyond human experience, it may still be experienced by the soul in the mystery of her surrender.”

What would the Soul have to surrender to? What does the Almighty have to surrender to?

I have no interest in continuing, but if you have a verse still in question write it down. My front page is reserved for the Self-Realized and that’s why I posted this in the comment section.

Yes, I’ll do that. I’ll look up some good verses on the net. I didn’t dive in that deep and I’m somewhat limited by the net. I was hoping you could get me a verse from him that you don’t understand.

I’m going to be away from the computer starting on the Dec. 26-8.

Your answer has put to rest my worrying around this issue and I'm doing better. I always thought of the mind as a help in general and never as causing such an issue. I'm simply being me now and applying the mind to some simple truths. It is good to overcome issues of the mind. Thanks for being the catalyst in this journey of 'that which you are searching for is you'.
