I am my thoughts.

Okay, tell me another story.

Jnana

Jnana or the path of knowledge is the constant movement of your attention to the reality of love, oneness and most importantly non-separation. You’re using your neocortex and the frontal lobe of your thinking brain to re-center itself over and over again until the brain rewires itself and lays in new neural pathways that completely support your attention as pure knowledge and awareness in the Field. One who practices Jnana is called a Jnani.

Jnana in the highest sense is pure knowledge and awareness of the one reality in which subjects and objects have ceased to exist. The mind is not trying to comprehend, experience, or understand a state that is different and apart from itself, the subject. The moment you even sense a thought you bring your attention back to pure awareness. When in the state of Jnana there can be no object that is separate from the knower or subject. There really is no doer. Everything just appears as movement. The nature of that unity is love. The Jnani sees nothing separate from himself or herself. There is no ignorance or delusion in the world. A Jnani sees everything as perfection and embraces it all as himself or herself. There is no judgment, there is no high or low or good or bad. To the Jnani everything is equal. Everything is one in the Field. The Jnani drops all concepts even of Jnana. Jnana is dense burning knowledge that no cup can hold. No thought or concept can survive this pure awareness.

In the fall of 1975 when I was living with Muktananda in Oakland, one afternoon he gave me a bright yellow wide brim felt hat. On this hat was written Thou art That. Since the words were written around the entire circumference of the hat it was difficult to immediately see what it said. I looked at Muktananda and thought Why are you giving me this crazy hat that says this is a hat? It wasn’t until a few moments later that I realized it said Thou art That.

Thou art That translates in Sanskrit to Tat Tvam Asi. It can also mean “That art thou,” “That thou art,” “You are that,” or “That you are.” There are a number of other statements, or “Grand pronouncements” as they are called, that are designed to help the individual understand that the subject and object are just an illusion. Another one is Neti Neti which means not this not this. You see everything around you and think not this not this. It would have been great if my mind could have totally received and understood the gift of that hat in the moment but it wasn’t meant to be. I was living in the ashram and like many others, saw myself as a limited, separate being with years of practice ahead of me.
