Sorry got carried away with the smilies, was tired and giddy.

I think we tend to defend manifestation, I do, because it is love's form, our people, beauty,... How can we know them without their individuality, and what is that without form?

"the unmanifest depends upon the manifest world" seems to contradict, "Effects do not create their cause".

Brahman, Mahamudra, depend on no manifestation. First, there was the Father; this is always. A counter perspective. But as said, without progeny there is no father.

But can the “creator” aspect be removed from Brahman?

Also… what is a Father without a Mother?

If “manifestation” is a limitless body, then I see no contradictions.

Generosity as Way of Life
Martin Brokenleg (Lakota)

We were taught much about generosity in my Lakota society because it was so molded into our social system. For example, if you were visiting someone and you openly admired a possession of theirs, they would probably give it to you. Giving in this way would make them happy. Of course, real giving entails sacrifice — if it doesn't cost you some-thing, it is not generosity. Thus, if I were to give away that necktie that Aunt Mildred gave me last Christmas— the one that I was never going to wear in public—it would not be generosity, it would be recycling!

In many tribal cultures, giving away possessions is part of an entire way of life— one that creates powerful social bonds. Young children learn that it is not always easy to give things away. The Lakota say one should be able to give away anything "without the heart pounding."

Unfortunately, not many examples of such total generosity exist in our largely materialistic Western culture because of a preoccupation with acquiring possessions. This stockpiling of stuff is related to individualistic thinking, excessive materialism and conspicuous consumption-the cultural thinking error that flaunting wealth is a testimony of a person's worth. We should not make a show of generosity and recipients do not have to fawn in obeisance. Sharing is just what relatives do.

Generosity comes in many forms. To be patient, to listen, to share a smile, a joke or even a tear are powerful gifts. An apology to one we have offended can be a form of generosity, because it puts one in a position of humility. Even more powerful is the generosity of forgiveness extended to those who have hurt us.... As we see in our Circle of Courage work, the highest expression of courage is generosity, such as when children learn to show compassion for others and to give a higher priority to relationships rather than possessions. Unfortunately, such altruism is contradicted by cultural traditions of dominance, exploitation and selfish materialism.

6. Nothing that God knows not exists. ²And what He knows exists forever, changelessly. ³For thoughts endure as long as does the mind that thought of them. ⁴And in the Mind of God there is no ending, nor a time in which His Thoughts were absent or could suffer change. ⁵Thoughts are not born and cannot die. ⁶They share the attributes of their creator, nor have they a separate life apart from his. ⁷The thoughts you think are in your mind, as you are in the Mind which thought of you. ⁸And so there are no separate parts in what exists within God’s Mind. ⁹It is forever One, eternally united and at peace.

7. Thoughts seem to come and go. ²Yet all this means is that you are sometimes aware of them, and sometimes not. ³An unremembered thought is born again to you when it returns to your awareness. ⁴Yet it did not die when you forgot it. ⁵It was always there, but you were unaware of it. ⁶The Thought God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. ⁷It will always be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot, and will be just the same when you remember. ⁸And it is the same within the interval when you forgot.

8. The Thoughts of God are far beyond all change, and shine forever. ²They await not birth. ³They wait for welcome and remembering. ⁴The Thought God holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. ⁵So high in Heaven is it set that those outside of Heaven know not it is there. ⁶Yet still and white and lovely will it shine through all eternity. ⁷There was no time it was not there; no instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was.

Be vigilant only for God and His kingdom.

Quote:

To teach the whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its wholeness, and have learned that it is one. ²Now you must be vigilant to hold its oneness in your mind because, if you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its wholeness and will be unable to teach it. ³The wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your perception, but your awareness of its wholeness does. ⁴It is only your awareness that needs protection, since being cannot be assailed. ⁵Yet a real sense of being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you are. ⁶This is why vigilance is essential. ⁷Doubts about being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with certainty. ⁸Certainty is of God for you. ⁹Vigilance is not necessary for truth, but it is necessary against illusions.

This passage is really speaking to me right now. Vigilance against those doubts that want to pull one back into a state of fear and acquiescence to the world’s dogmas (a whole system based on fear, guilt, separation, precariousness of the body, etc).

The higher vibratory field is one of Unity, without conflict or blame. Residing here, vigilance is perfected into Total Awareness
