Francis Lucille - Audio Answer 007 - How can we stand as universal consciousness? | Location: Sydney, Australia Question: Dear Francis, I wrote to you a while ago asking for examples of experiments regarding universal consciousness but no answer has appeared on your site. That is fine. I noticed that you have suggested previously that devising such experiments should be an exercise left to the enquirer, so perhaps that is why you have not answered. However, I also found an example (I think it was in your book "Eternity Know") in which you suggest that a dog may respond differently depending on the stand you are taking when you approach it. But I am not entirely clear even with this seemingly simple example you have given. Is in not true that by taking the stand of considering your consciousness to be universal, you are in fact taking a mental stand (ie. a belief), which is therefore still personally based, and therefore doesn't really test the hypothesis at all? I realise that this would imply that such an experiment is not possible unless one is already self-realised, and yet you assert that it can be done, so would I be right to assume that this "taking a stand" is not just adopting (or at least attempting to adopt) the belief mentally? One thing that you seem to do in many of your answers is to draw a clear distinction between the Universal Self and the personal self, seeming to negate the possibility of being somewhere between these two or a mixture of the two ie. partly universally identified and partly personally identified. Is this a misunderstanding on my part? If so, then perhaps "taking a stand" would in effect be shifting our identification more towards one than the other?

Francis Lucille - Audio Answer 005 - How can we help someone see that we are the same consciousness? | Name: Chris Location: Florida Question: Greets Francis, In a video of yours, you asked one of your guests to imagine what it would be like to have a monologue with other people or to imagine that others were none other than your very self. About a month later when reading a book by Ramana Maharshi, I came across a passage where he said "I do not see anyone outside of myself, therefore, I have no disciples." If this is in fact true, how would you go about pointing this out to someone or helping them see it? Much Bests, Chris | 10/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Francis Lucille - Audio Answer 001 - What is enlightenment? | According to your teaching, when I become "aware of Awareness," as the undeniable "I Am Presence" in me, is this only "a glimpse," or is this the "final & full glimpse" that you call Enlightenment? If this is not the final glimpse, how is this glimpse any different from Enlightenment? Love, Bedri | 10/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Francis Lucille - Audio Answer 003 - On positive thinking. | Location: Wisconsin Question: Dear Francis, How do I reconcile these seemingly conflicting teachings? On one hand, you suggest that we 'welcome the totality of our experience' - and that rings true in me. But, there is also sage advice in the Yoga Sutras suggesting that we 'replace a negative thought with a positive thought' . Doesn't that imply that we be less than welcoming with what arises in the mind? How can I welcome something and also replace it with something "better". It's as contrary seeming to me as the message that 'the mind is everything, what we think we become' as opposed to the realization that 'we are not the mind'. Can you help to clarify these concepts for me? With deepest gratitude, Sally | 10/17/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
