GR 'Come-ON! GET RID OF-the-SHOW!'

[s~Z]

The screen is a dim page spread before us, white and silent. The film has
broken, or a projector bulb has burned out. It was difficult for us, old
fans who've always been at the movies (haven't we) to tell which before the
darkness swept in. The last image was too immediate for any eye to register.
It may have been a human figure, dreaming of an early evening in each great
capital luminous enough to tell him he will never die, coming outside to
wish on the first star. But it was NOT A STAR, it was falling, a bright
angel of death. And in the darkening and awful expanse of screen something
has kept on, a film we have not learned to see . . .it is now a closeup of
the face, a face we all know--- (GR760)

The creation of the subject and the object is the creation of the world.
Subjects and objects are creations in Pure Consciousness. You see pictures
moving on the screen in a cinema show. When you are intent on the pictures,
you are not aware of the screen. But the pictures cannot be seen without the
screen behind. The world stands for the pictures and the screen stands for
Consciousness. The Consciousness is pure. It is the same as the Self, which
is eternal and unchanging. Get rid of the pictures and Pure Consciousness
alone remains.   (Ramana Maharshi)
