Here is my reflection after reading an excerpt from Ken Wilber's book - One Taste.
When I look out from the eyes, the seer is looking out, the witness consciousness is looking out untouched by what is being seen. What is being seen changes but not the seer or the witness. I like what Ken Wilber says, " There is only One State, within which different states arise. There is only One Taste, through which various different tastes flow." Though we see different selves, there is only One Self. When we realize this Truth, "the heartbeat of compassion will resound. A constant cloud of caring will rain on every parade." as Ken Wiber says. When I am in deep meditative state the self-created walls of divisiveness and fragmentation melt away and I experience unitive state of consciousness, only One Taste. By practicing Meditation, this state of unitive consciousness stays longer and longer and that's a blessing. The heartbeat of compassion and caring continues resounding. Clouds clear up and in the vast pure Emptiness I experience fullness. Namaste!

When I read this...my thoughts...I somehow think there was something else missed here in the explanation. I'm not sure if he is saying "One Taste" as we would all have the same true taste and further if that was through meditating and being relaxed and one with our creator. We can taste (see, hear etc.) things differently depending on our mood. If I'm angry the apple I'm eating may taste differently than when I'm relaxed, excited etc. At the same time, I'm not sure I don't want to experience those different perspectives of taste. Then it gets to whether he is suggesting the True/One taste is the same for all of us then? I like that we are all uniquely different and taste, see, hear things differently. This one will make me think for a while. :-) Leave a Reply. |
