Calibration of the following short essay from an All-Access subscriber...
Nisargadatta's Law of Freedom
Request: Page 166 from the book "I Am That." One of my favorites! To me compares well with Doc's books.
statement: God is not an individual
Anthropomorphic depictions are false.
the ego is beliefs / all beliefs are false
Concise explanation of ego as commonly understood by spiritual students.
anxiety and depression can be canceled and healed instantaneously
Priority request: Some might not be aware of the option, as well as the ego putting up massive resistances, but it seems to me this is indeed possible given that anxiety/depression are just illusory ways of being.
enlightenment is a destination, not a goal
Level of this statement. Also calibrated: "Enlightenment is a way of being, not an experience."
offsetting the negativity of local conditions
Level at which negative potentiality is diffused or dispersed whereby life energy manifests constructively instead of being drained.
hitting rock bottom
Request: I've not had huge success with this, as it felt like it just kept getting lower, so I'm curious about its calibration.
"If you have not accepted the past, you have not accepted the present"
Sri Prem Baba quote from his book From Suffering to Joy.
willingness to take karma from another person upon oneself
Request: At what level is it possible / seems like a good choice and what does the willingness itself calibrate at?
the (subjective) reality there is no reality
Not having any sense of what is true, real or good and the utter lack of a foundation upon which a reality could be based.
statement: loving others is no substitute for loving yourself
Loving others is heart-based, while loving yourself is thymus-based. As the heart dimension is nested within the thymus dimension, loving others serves the highest good only in the context of loving yourself. (The highest good includes you!)
standing for truth
Applies to the intellect. At higher levels, it is understood truth needs no defense.
