Fana - The Fire of Annihilation
There is Nothing but the activity of Consciousness
and the fact that
I am Knowing
with my eyes open or closed
I'm just Knowing Knowing
not things
not others
not myself
Just knowing.
It is, as it were evidence that I am Conscious,
or Consciousness Itself.
I might begin to perceive
Whoever I am
is coming to a point where
I must free mind from the known idea I'm a somebody.
Otherwise the natural activity of Consciousness Itself
with its multi-dimensional appearances
becomes extremely painful
possibly even fearful and unbearable.
If you and I look into Sufism
This would be called Fana.
Which means Annihilation.
Annihilation of space-time position,
Annihilation of location and formed identity.
If anyone is going through it
that is what's happening.
You must have a love of what can be called God, Truth,
or the Profoundative from which one comes from, and still is that.
One can only ever truly commune with Source and its activity in this
Nanosecond, this Nanosecond.
Where the mind has no possibility of
filming, recording, planning, debating, conniving, memorizing.
This nanosecond is the only moment of
Pure Consciousness and its activity in multi dimensional ways and frequencies,
appearing as the Cosmos and appearing as all beings that are its Play.
It's incredible Play It's wonderful Play
It's a dedication. It's not just attunement,it is, Fana, it is Annihilation
It is realization that I don't exist in a location.
I am that that all apparent locations appear in.
I am speaking of the comprehension that I am I
No matter where I am, I am I.
I am the consciousness from which all appearances is immediate, spacious, timeless.
And it's this spacious immediacy that is the activity of consciousness itself.
