Blessed to all
Greetings majjah,give thanks for d reasoning, yes d I AM as witness(unmanifest)is d only reality,I AM as d root of illussion (manifest) or d feeling of presence prior to personal identity, or d mind itself and its contents is d world including d individual, I used d term JAH for d witness though its beyond word simply for d mind to grasp since d mind functions dualistic,just like using d term witness by u,d father by jesus,parabrahman by nisargadatta,allah by muhammed etc..... It all points out to d self(witness)though in terms of concept hence the whole self search or functionings of mind are all conceptual too,in reality nothing really happens.
Why do I speak in rasta terms? is for a better overstanding and in fact not to embrace a concept but rather destroy it by means of investigation or to prepare d mind to give up its search and realize that d mind itself is being witnessed ,if this is overstood by d mind it will cease its self identity and absorbed with d heart then this doing mind will be a witnessing only ,cause in fact all this happenings is occurring spontaneously there is no any doer behind it just like a ripples in d ocean.
By using certain concepts it can bring to better overstanding rather by simply saying I AM(unmanifest) d only reality and all is illusion can be very confusing for d majority cause this direct approach is only overstood by a matured mind meaning ready to give up or sacrifice its ego or self identity,and mostly are still enslaved by d mind unaware of d presence of d witness ,this term in rasta I use mental slavery not just d common meaning of it as brainwashed by babylon through propaganda or in a psychological sense, but in self identity as an individual or as a product of d mind ,yes majjah including rasta and d witness too since it is termed in thought or words its objectified only way to realize it is simply by "being".
But for d mind to calm down a path is needed if d mind is loaded with concepts this doesn't have to be religious or cultural, its aim is to get d mind concentrated In 1 concept or object and common concept is used by term god ,I AM(manifest,presence)or JAH , if d mind is then effortless absorbed to this then this mind will simply lose its self identity by overstanding that awareness is not in mind but beyond mind,hence its not dat I think or do something but aware of d thinking mind and d doing body this functioning is happening on awareness , aware of d waking state,dream state and deep sleep state(spaceless and timeless,no I AM(manifest or presence).
Obviously all events including I AM(manifest,primary illussion) are simply illussion or just an appearance of d I AM(unmanifest,beyond words)and all events are happening spontaneously including InI reasoning ,though illusory its through illusions or concepts that liberation or truth or self is found or unity with JAH, this whole process of searching,enlightenment or liberation are illusions too, that's y in reality nothing really happens , truth can never be found cause its never lost.
Just like u said 'for whatever you perceive to be, there must be a perceiver that perceive it. The very fact that you have percieved should be clue enough. you simply are, ' illusion simply points out d presence of awareness,
If d false is seen as false ,d perciever and percieved is no longer valid too its just percieveing , no knower or known but simply knowing, again it is for d so called many has been called but few are chosen to overstand this direct approach to overstand, many must fullfill its desire to exhaust it till d mind gets matured and be ready for this direct approach, from this desire the path is involved d path itself is desire to be free and its ultimate goal is to free itself from desire for hence there is no self that desires.
My approach of rasta terms is based on my intelligence and experience while this is rasta forum it is for better reasoning to use it in these terms for better communication, how can I communicate with a french guy if I would speak english to him?that's y I told u not simply to grasp d words I type but its meaning, I dnt simply depend on this concept cause if I reason with a christian I use christian term or scientific terms to an atheist for instance.
And d only approach is not to know d truth cause d knower(truth) cannot be known but to know d false as false,just like using another poison as medicine to cure d poison in d body.
InI JAH RASTAFARI
