Spiritual Exploration – Morgan O. Smith

The Journey from Singularity to Advaita

A Deep Dive into Absolute Monism

In the realm of spiritual exploration, the concepts of Nirguna Brahman and Saguna Brahman offer profound insights into the nature of existence and the essence of reality. At the heart of this journey is understanding absolute monism and its manifestations through various dimensions of being.

Absolute Monism: The Unchanging Reality

Absolute Monism posits that there is a singular, omnipresent source from which everything emanates. This source, often called Nirguna Brahman, lacks qualities or attributes. It transcends all forms and distinctions beyond the dualities of hot and cold, good and evil, or masculine and feminine. This state has no concept of time, space, or location. It is the purest form of potentiality, embodying existence and nonexistence, and serves as the ground of all being.

Nirguna Brahman: The Formless Absolute

Nirguna Brahman is the ultimate reality without form or qualities. It represents the infinite potentiality that precedes all manifestations. In this state, distinctions such as up or down, north, west, east, south, inside or outside, and time or space dissolve into a singular, undifferentiated whole. This formless absolute is the source from which all probable and improbable possibilities arise.

Saguna Brahman: The Manifestation of Qualities

From the infinite potentiality of Nirguna Brahman emerges Saguna Brahman, the aspect of the divine with qualities. This is where evolution, shape, and form come into play. It encompasses all persons, places, and things, embodying the diverse polarities that characterize the physical and metaphysical realms. Through Saguna Brahman, the infinite takes on finite forms, giving rise to the rich diversity of existence.

The Path to Advaita: Non-Dual Awareness

The journey from Nirguna to Saguna Brahman is a transition from the formless to the form. However, the ultimate realization in this journey is Advaita, the recognition of non-duality. Advaita reveals the underlying oneness of all existence, where distinctions between self and other, subject and object, dissolve. It is an awareness that transcends the dualities of Saguna Brahman, bringing one back to the infinite potentiality of Nirguna Brahman.

Exploring Other Realms and Frequencies

In the context of Advaita, other realms and frequencies are understood as different expressions of the same underlying reality. Matter and consciousness are seen as different frequencies of the same essence. This holistic perspective invites us to explore the interconnectedness of all things, recognizing the unity within the diversity.

Para Brahman: Beyond the Beyond

Beyond both Nirguna and Saguna Brahman lies Para Brahman, the supreme reality that encompasses and transcends all. It is the ultimate source of all that is and does not exist beyond all concepts and categories. Para Brahman is the final frontier of spiritual exploration, inviting us to surrender to the mystery of the absolute.

The Paradox of Separateness and Oneness

In the vast expanse of spiritual exploration, two concepts often emerge as seemingly opposing forces: separateness and oneness. Yet, upon deeper contemplation, we uncover that both are not just interconnected but also encapsulate a profound paradox that challenges the very foundation of our understanding of reality.

The Illusion of Separateness

From a conventional standpoint, separateness is the bedrock of our physical existence. It’s the principle that delineates you from me, the tree from the soil, the ocean from the sky. This distinction is crucial for navigating the physical world, allowing us to make sense of our environment through categorization and identification. However, this perception of separateness is, at its core, an illusion—a construct of the mind that confines us within the boundaries of our individual experiences.

The spiritual journey often begins with the recognition of this illusion. As we delve into the depths of our inner world, we start to perceive the threads of connection that weave through the fabric of existence. These connections blur the lines of separation, revealing a more intricate and interdependent reality. Yet, acknowledging this interconnectedness is only the first step toward a more profound realization.

The Illusion of Oneness

Oneness, often heralded as the ultimate spiritual truth, suggests that all forms of existence are intrinsically connected, emanating from the same source of divine energy. This perspective invites us into a state of unity with the cosmos, where the illusion of separateness dissolves into the universal whole.

However, labelling oneness as the ultimate truth also presents a paradox. By defining our experience within the confines of oneness, we inadvertently create a new duality between the concepts of oneness and separateness. This duality suggests that while oneness seeks to unify, it simultaneously perpetuates the cycle of illusion by opposing separateness.

Navigating the Illusions

The recognition that both separateness and oneness are illusions invites us into a space beyond dualistic thinking. It beckons us to explore a realm where these concepts are not opposing forces but rather different aspects of the same reality. This realm, free from the constraints of conventional categorization, allows for a fluidity of experience and understanding.

In this space, we find freedom from the need to label or define our experiences as either separate or unified. We open ourselves to a state of being that embraces the full spectrum of existence, acknowledging its inherent complexity without the need to simplify it into comprehensible constructs. This state of being is not about finding a middle ground between separateness and oneness but about transcending the very need for such distinctions.

Conclusion

The journey through the paradox of separateness and oneness is not about choosing one illusion over the other but about transcending the limitations they impose on our understanding of reality. It invites us into a deeper exploration of existence, where the boundaries between self and other, between individual and universe, become permeable and fluid.

By navigating these illusions with an open heart and a curious mind, we can move closer to a state of spiritual freedom—a state where the intricate dance of separateness and oneness plays out within us, not as conflicting forces, but as harmonious expressions of the infinite complexity of being.

Exploring the Infinite

The Space of Pure Probability

In the vast expanse of our understanding, an enigmatic and profound concept exists the Space of Pure Probability. It is a domain where the lines between the possible and impossible blur, where probabilities and improbabilities coalesce into a singular, boundless continuum.

This concept invites us to delve into the heart of absolute monism, where the distinction between subject and object dissolves. In this space, what we perceive as reality is merely one of an infinite array of potentialities. Our existence, our universe, is but one manifestation in an endless sea of probabilities.

This notion aligns seamlessly with the principles of Eastern philosophy, where the perception of duality is seen as an illusion. In the Space of Pure Probability, this illusion is stripped away, revealing a state of pure being, unbound by the constraints of dualistic thought. Here, every event and moment is not predetermined but a spontaneous expression of the whole.

In contemplating this realm, we are encouraged to consider our own lives as a dance of possibilities. Our choices, actions, and thoughts are threads in the vast web of existence, each contributing to the unfolding of the universe. We are both the creators and the creations, the observers and the observed, participating in the grand orchestration of existence.

The Space of Pure Probability also challenges our understanding of time and causality. In this realm, time is not linear but multidimensional, where past, present, and future coexist and interweave. This perspective offers a profound insight into the nature of reality, suggesting that our linear experience of time is but a limited perception of a much more complex, interconnected reality.

As we journey through our spiritual and philosophical explorations, the concept of the Space of Pure Probability serves as a reminder of the vastness of existence and the limitless potential within each of us. It beckons us to look beyond the apparent, to question, and to open ourselves to the myriad possibilities that life offers.

In embracing this space, we embrace the infinite, stepping into a realm where all is possible, and where the journey of self-discovery and enlightenment continues to unfold in wondrous and unexpected ways.

The Journey Within Embracing Nondual Suchness

In my spiritual explorations, I have come to embrace what the few would call “Nondual Suchness.” This concept represents a transformative journey of consciousness, one that transcends the need for external recognition or validation. It is a path that leads inward, towards a deep, unshakeable peace and a profound realization of universal interconnectedness.

This journey is not about reaching outward for validation or acknowledgment. Instead, it’s about turning inward for self-discovery and self-acceptance. It is here, in the quietude of our inner being, that we encounter the true essence of our existence. This exploration reveals the intrinsic rewards of our inner journey – rewards that are not given by the world but are discovered within the depths of our consciousness.

Embracing Nondual Suchness is about recognizing the interconnected fabric of all existence. It’s about understanding that every thought, every action, and every moment is intrinsically linked to the whole, simultaneously being the whole. This realization brings with it a profound sense of peace, as we begin to see ourselves not as isolated beings, but as integral parts of a larger, harmonious whole.

This path of self-discovery and self-acceptance is an invitation to all. It is a call to delve into the depths of our being, to uncover the peace and understanding that lie within. It is a journey that transforms not just our perception of ourselves, but our perception of the world around us. In embracing Nondual Suchness, we find not just peace, but a deep and abiding joy in the simple act of being.

My Journey Through the Layers of Nonduality

In my spiritual journey, I have come to hold a unique perspective on nonduality that deeply resonates with my personal experiences. It is a viewpoint where I see the myriad forms and phenomena of this vast universe as expressions of a singular, boundless reality. This perspective has been a guiding light in my explorations, leading me through various levels of nonduality.

Each level I have navigated has unveiled its unique insights and perspectives, enriching my understanding of existence and consciousness. These explorations have revealed to me the intricate and profound nature of reality, where every form, every phenomenon, is interconnected in a way that transcends our conventional understanding.

One of the most profound realizations in this journey has been the understanding that all perspectives on nonduality are valid. This realization came from a deep recognition that each individual’s experiences and realizations are unique expressions of their journey through the infinite landscapes of consciousness. Just as a diamond has many facets, each reflecting light in its unique way, so too does the experience of nonduality present itself in myriad forms.

This approach to nonduality respects and embraces the diversity of nondual experiences. It acknowledges that the myriad paths we tread in our spiritual journeys, with their unique revelations and insights, are all different facets of the same boundless reality. In this, there is a deep sense of unity and interconnectedness – a recognition that, in our diversity, we are expressions of the same underlying reality.

To all who walk the path of spiritual exploration, I encourage you to embrace your unique journey. Your experiences, insights, and realizations are invaluable contributions to the understanding of our collective existence. They are the threads that weave into the vast tapestry of nondual understanding, each one essential and irreplaceable.

Yinnergy and the Wellspring of Creativity

A Journey into the Essence of Creative Energy

In the boundless realm of spiritual exploration, there are moments that not only illuminate our understanding but also become catalysts for creation and expression. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I shared insights into the creation of my Yinnergy audio meditation program, a project deeply intertwined with my spiritual experiences and profound realizations.

Yinnergy was not merely a project; it was a manifestation of a particularly profound spiritual experience where I realized that we are not just a conduit for creativity but creativity itself. This realization was not an intellectual understanding but a deep, experiential knowing that permeated every fibre of my being, altering my perspective and subsequently, my work.

In that infinite space where I became synonymous with creativity, I understood that creativity is not merely an act or a process but an intrinsic aspect of our being. It is a boundless, ever-present energy that flows through us, inviting us to co-create with the universe, to bring forth expressions that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.

The creation of Yinnergy was a journey into harnessing this boundless creative energy, which I refer to as “Yinnergy” – a synergy of Yin energy, that is receptive, intuitive, and deeply connected with the universal flow. It was a process of allowing the insights and experiences from my spiritual journey to flow through me, to become sounds, and silences that could facilitate a similar space for others to explore, experience, and realize.

This realization that we are creativity itself has had a significant impact on my perspective and work. It has dissolved the boundaries between the creator and the creation, between the act of creating and the created. It has allowed me to approach my work, not as something I do but as an expression of my being, an effortless flow that emerges from the wellspring of creativity within.

My Deep Dive into Non-Duality and Absolute Monism

In the boundless journey of spiritual exploration, there are realms where the intellect bows to the profound experiences of the soul. During my dialogue with Steve James on Guru Viking, I ventured into the profound depths of non-duality and absolute monism, sharing experiences and realizations that have illuminated my path and understanding of the cosmos.

Non-duality, a state where the illusion of separateness dissolves into the boundless ocean of oneness, has been a pivotal aspect of my spiritual journey. It is a space where the dichotomies of self and other, subject and object, and observer and observed merge into a singular, unified existence. My experiences within this realm have not only been transformative but have also opened portals to deeper understanding and exploration of existence.

Absolute monism, on the other hand, is the philosophical perspective that everything emerges from and returns to a singular, absolute reality. It is a viewpoint that aligns seamlessly with my experiences of non-duality, where the myriad forms and phenomena of the universe are expressions of a singular, boundless reality.

In my explorations, I have navigated through different levels of non-duality, each revealing unique insights and perspectives on the nature of existence and consciousness. From the interconnectedness of all beings to the profound realization of the self as a manifestation of the infinite, each level of non-duality has been a step into deeper realms of understanding and perception.

One of the profound realizations that have emerged from my journey is that all perspectives on non-duality are valid. Each individual’s experiences and realizations are unique expressions of their journey through the infinite landscapes of consciousness. From the absolute monism that speaks of the oneness of existence to the diverse expressions of non-dual experiences, every perspective is a unique facet of the boundless crystal of reality.

The Eternal Observer

My Journey into the Unwavering State of Witness Consciousness

In the boundless journey of spiritual exploration, some moments etch themselves into the canvas of our being, becoming permanent markers that illuminate our path with unwavering light. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I shared a glimpse into a pivotal moment in my journey – a permanent shift into the state of witness consciousness that has gracefully enveloped my being since 2008.

Witness consciousness, or the state of Sakshi Bhava in some spiritual traditions, is a state of neutral awareness, where the self transcends the transient and becomes an eternal observer, watching the unfolding of life with an unattached and unswayed presence. It is a space where the dichotomies of joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, and acceptance and resistance dissolve into a serene flow of unbroken awareness.

In 2008, I experienced a profound shift, a gentle yet irrevocable transition into a state where there’s a witness, perpetually observing everything happen, from the mundane to the profound, with a tranquil and neutral awareness. This isn’t a detached state, but rather a deeply connected one, where the observer is not isolated from the observed but is intrinsically intertwined with it, observing not as a separate entity but as a unified presence.

This state of witness consciousness has been a serene guide through the tapestry of life, allowing me to navigate through the myriad of experiences, emotions, and moments with a steady and unbroken awareness. It has allowed me to engage with life, not as a fluctuating entity, swayed by the ebbs and flows, but as a stable presence, observing, engaging, and experiencing while remaining rooted in a tranquil state of being.

The journey with witness consciousness has been a dance of duality and non-duality, where the observer and the observed, while appearing distinct, are reflections of the same boundless existence. It is a space where life unfolds in its boundless expressions, observed by a stable, unswayed presence that is both immanent and transcendent.

The Tapestry of Oneness

My Journey Through Non-Duality and Its Life-Altering Echoes

In the boundless journey of spiritual exploration, some moments transcend words, where the self dissolves into an infinite expanse that is all-encompassing and deeply transformative. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I touched upon such moments, sharing experiences of oneness and non-duality that have profoundly shaped my path and understanding of existence.

In those moments of non-duality, I found myself enveloped in a state where the boundaries that separate “me” from the “other” melted away, revealing a unified field of consciousness that permeates everything above, below, around, and within. It was an experience where I, as a separate entity, ceased to exist, and in place, there emerged a boundless oneness, connecting me to everything and everyone.

This realization of oneness and non-duality was not merely a transient experience but became a catalyst for significant changes in my life. One such transformation was my decision to abstain from eating meat, a choice deeply rooted in the interconnectedness I felt with all beings. When you experience the dissolution of separateness, causing harm to other beings becomes incongruent with the profound interconnectedness that is felt.

The experiences of oneness and non-duality are not merely philosophical concepts but are tangible experiences that permeate every aspect of being. They invite us to look at the world and other beings not as separate entities but as integral parts of the same tapestry of existence. It is a realization that every action, every choice, and every interaction is intertwined with the whole, influencing and being influenced by the boundless web of life.

Navigating through life with this understanding invites a shift in perspective, where actions are not driven by self-centred desires but are guided by a deep recognition of the interconnectedness of all life. It fosters a way of being that is rooted in compassion, understanding, and a genuine respect for all forms of life.

As I continue to walk this path, the experiences of oneness and non-duality serve as a compass, guiding my actions, interactions, and choices in a way that honours the interconnected tapestry of existence. It is a journey that is continuously unfolding, revealing deeper insights and understandings of the profound interconnectedness that weaves through all of existence.

The Unending Ascent

Embracing Continuous Learning and Growth Amidst Peaks of Consciousness

In the intricate tapestry of spiritual exploration, there exists a profound truth that often goes unspoken: the journey does not culminate at the peaks of consciousness but continues to weave through the valleys of continuous learning and growth. During my dialogue with Steve James on Guru Viking, I delved into this aspect, highlighting the perpetual nature of learning and psychological development, even amidst the high states of consciousness.

The journey towards enlightenment and higher states of consciousness is often perceived as an ascent towards a pinnacle, a final destination where one is imbued with all-knowing wisdom and eternal peace. However, my experiences and explorations have illuminated a different truth. Reaching high states of consciousness is not the end of the journey but a passage into deeper realms of continuous learning and psychological growth.

Despite experiencing moments where the self dissolves into the boundless ocean of consciousness, where the dichotomy of the observer and the observed collapses into oneness, there remains an ever-present opportunity for learning and growth. The experiences of non-duality and interconnectedness do not exempt us from the continuous evolution of our psychological and spiritual being.

In my journey, I have found that the peaks of consciousness open doors to deeper understanding and further questions, propelling the spirit into uncharted territories of the self and the universe. It is a realization that every moment, every experience, and every interaction is an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to delve deeper into our understanding of existence and our place within it.

The path is not linear, and the learning is not finite. Even amidst the profound experiences of oneness and elevated consciousness, there exist layers of the self, waiting to be explored, understood, and integrated. It is an invitation to look inward continuously, to explore the depths of our being, and to embrace the unending journey of learning and growth.
