Does the absolute truth need to experience its manifestations to know itself?

You might ask: what has this got to do with the arts? Know your mind and its limitations and know your content, process, form, composition so the work becomes one with the artist. The body-mind-thinking has such massive limitations that almost certainly the “new” in art is not accessible by the thinking mind as we know it. Many aspects of the mind to explore: are there 2 states of mind thinking in us where where one is limited and the other is all-knowing. It seems one needs to take the body-thinking-mind as far as it can go, until it hits a brick wall, and you see it for what it is: a limited tool we have been using for centuries and a frontline of innovations and ideas and thoughts running at a snails pace with no giant leaps if we continue as we do with today’s body-mind-thinking. Hence this time we want to know if the all-knowing Absolute Truth also has its limitations in the sense that it cannot always access its collective manifestations, to know how it is progressing, due to the way its evolutionary portals, us, are designed. Hence who among us does the Absolute uses to access its creations and why are some of us made differently or have these individuals come to these states because they understand the mind and body better compared to the rest of us.  This also means that our full potential latent in us humans are still not realized fully.

You would have thought that the Absolute Truth is all knowing and knows itself and perhaps it does but it does not seem to be able to experience its manifestations which is also us.

Consciousness is just a slither of the greater Absolute. This diagram was drawn up after reading Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (SNM).

Consciousness gives us a sense of “beingness” that we have some sense of being part of the Absolute. Our limited minds cannot comprehend the Absolute through thinking as it only operates within its own experiences or its own past. I gather that if we are to by some chance become part f the Absolute – there will be no memory of it.

But it seems that the Absolute also has a problem accessing its manifestations.

I was confused by this statement by SNM in the book: “Consciousness and the Absolute” about his experiences with the Absolute then thought that perhaps this is how the Absolute manages to experience its creations. Nothing gets past the noisy firewall, not even the Absolute?, hence only selected individuals who have lined themselves up with the Cosmic mind have become portals even for the Absolute to see itself. If I know this – is it because i just know this or been made to know this, or did I think myself into this answer. In silence, another has to experience this “beingness” or this sense of knowing via streaming of energy from the Cosmic mind that we know of ITS workings because we live and follow its pattern in our daily lives.

“With the appearance of consciousness, the Absolute knows it is, “I Am”. This is the experience. There are other experiences now, in this time factor, but experiences are gradually dropping off, including this primary experience “I Am”. It is only the consciousness that is going to disappear, the Absolute is always there. What a fall! The perfect state, caught up in these experiences, and trying to derive certain benefits out of the experiences.”

This paragraph gives me the impression that the Absolute needs to manifest itself into creations of itself, like us, for the absolute to know itself, or know progress of its creation. It uses consciousness to interact with us for this purpose – the perfect state trying to derive benefits out of the experiences it gets by interacting with us. The interaction through consciousness gives us that sense of beingness and that feeling that we are part of something greater. Our intuition is probably what is trying to show us this sense of “beingness”.

But this is what I would like to put to you: the absolute can only use the “specials” or Tathagata (“he who has attained that world, as opposed to other beings who are called (idhagata), ‘living in this world”), it has created for the Absolute to access its manifestations for it to know what it has created and how his creation has progressed.

The reason the Absolute has to choose the Tathagata’s for it to experience its creation is because, I think, it can only get access to its collective creation is because in the specials the body-thinking minds are used minimally except for everyday realities and hence their minds are very quiet and they are somehow harmonized within its creations and hence can access them through these “special” minds.

So the Absolute looks out for those who has attained that world, as opposed to other beings who are called (idhagata), living in this world. When you are completely harmonised with its creations and hence with itself, the Absolute, there is a sense of knowing that is always true and a sense of thinking by streaming of information rather than body-mind-thinking and also a sense of being completely connected to the absolute and its creations.
