If Consciousness is not the 'do-er' of anything, then who or what is creating the manifestations appearing within Consciousness?
Duality. = Consciousness (subject) has manifestations (object) in it. #Spirituality #meditation
Nonduality = Consciousness is not a ‘thing’ (subject or object,) and all manifestations are only ‘dream’ appearances.
Nothing is being done. Nothing is being created. Nothing is actually ‘happening.’ #spirituality #meditate
Nothing is being done. Nothing is being created. Nothing is actually ‘happening.’
Your mind may say, “Well, OK, but even ‘dream’ appearances are something, and something is generating them.”
No. It’s Nothing being Everything. Real-and-unreal.
Mind cannot understand this. And unfortunately, your question originates from mind and the desire to ‘wrap your head around this,’ to come away with a cogent intellectual explanation & clarity about this. #spirituality #meditate
Mind is quite certain it is a real ‘thing,’ and all the 10,000 things that aren’t it are also ‘real.’ In order for mind to operate, right from the start it must take the stance of a ‘thing’ (subject) observing other ‘things (object.) #spirituality #meditate
So mind has no equipment to parse that everything is ‘real-yet-unreal.’
So how?
Go into Silence.
As God says “I am giving you THIS, the rest is up to you”.
And he would probably add “But, please realize, that I am not other than you” #spirituality #meditate
If consciousness could speak, it would say “I am giving myself to everything that wants to arise and to be known”
And it would probably add “But as knowing I am only one. Humans, please realize that, because as you know life, you know myself as yourself. We are not two”.

Also because He is the destroyer of the devatas, as per a Smrti shloka quoted by Svaami Vijayeendra Teertha Shripaadagalu, in Shaiva-Sarvasva Khandanam of Nyaayamauktikamaala.

Shukracharya: A great knowledgeable person who was respected even by Devas and Saints. He was an expert in Political Science. He founded the Shukra Niti. In his niti he has laid down the following points:

One should never reveal certain things in front of others.
It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others

If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows: #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second. #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows: #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
