becoming unconditioned
KJ: How can the unconditional ever become? That would make it conditional, on something else allowing it to become.
MA: Kelly, I did not say that it is my unconditioned awareness that becomes, what I said, was: "my purpose is to live the wisdom of becoming unconditioned."
I didn't say anything about awareness.
Awareness is all there is; awareness is existence. You are aware; that is how you are able to tell me that you didn't say anything about awareness. I am aware; that is how I am able to tell you that awareness is all there is. God or Life or the Tao is aware, that is why and how you are made aware. Logically speaking, what is true of you, is true of that which thought you into being. No separation.
I was talking about the unconditional. That which is free of conditions or dependencies.
Unconditional is an adverb so cannot be named 'the' unconditional. When speaking of that which is free of conditions or dependencies, the correct term is the unconditioned. Adjectives and adverbs are the manifestations of man's conditions and dependencies.
Logically: that which is ultimately real and ever-present. How on earth could that become?
Oh, the arrogance of man that he believes he has the mind of what is real and ever-present. Note that I said 'the mind of.' Of his pure awareness, yes, 'man' is that which is real and ever-present. But the moment man thinks of an object, he is not of that which is real and ever-present. How can that which appears and disappears, be real and ever-present? What I am saying here is at the heart of the teachings of every master of the infinite.
It is man's folly and vanity that he believes that once he has intellectually discovered this 'thing' called 'the infinite' that he has the mind of this 'thing' called 'the infinite.' Think upon this: the
mind of man is a relatively new appearance in the thought continuum of I Am That. By his very own discoveries of the evolution of the flesh or matter thought, cockroach consciousness by far precedes the appearance of human consciousness. Before I was human, I was cockroach.

no one who writes on this forum is consciously one with their unconditioned awareness.
How could one be separate from the unconditional. Awareness is always of the unconditioned.
Man is not separated from his unconditioned 'being' in actuality, he is "looking through a glass darkly." As most seekers of themselves, you are confusing creation of form with imagination of form. God or Life spoke the Word "let it be, and it was." Creation. Let there be 'tree', and there was 'tree.' Permanent spirit forms of which we know not of their nature except by suggestion. Man, however, cannot speak creation into being, he must think upon what he has heard or read or seen and imagine it into being. Everything of man's thought world is illusory, for it is impermanent. If God or Life were of the same mind as man's, which is impermanent, then you or I would not be here in this very moment, discussing awareness. There is a childhood saying: Only God can
make a tree. Can you, Kelly, right here, right now,
make a tree?

For those who seek to be consciously one with their unconditioned awareness,
I'm already the unconditional. Where could I go to be separate from it?
You are already the unconditioned, but you are not one with the unconditioned. Your human words of resurrected imagined forms give evidence of this.
A note re "unconditional:" It has been my experience that on the path of realizing what must happen within one's consciousness so that one can be one with their nature that IS 'tree' [let there be 'tree' and there was 'tree', I am 'tree'], one must live their life unconditionally. Keep their word to be their word.

An example of such a condition would be one's attachment to Woman, regardless of how gross, how abstract or how subtle is the perception of this attachment. Those who are attached to Woman must become detached from Woman (unconditioned) if they desire to be expanded beyond their human identity.
My human identity is already the unconditional.
Everything you believe of being a human being called "Kelly Jones" is of your conditioned belief that you are human. If you had not been told that you were a 'thing' called 'human', you would never have known this of yourself. This is true of everything you have been told of what Kelly Jones is.
Jesus, Gautama, Lao Tzu came to shake loose this arrogant belief of man that God [the unconditioned Mind] is human. I refer you back to the appearance of the human mind in relation to the appearance of the cockroach mind. Humbling, is it not, to come face to face with the truth that the mind of man is but a blip on the radar of the law of the Spirit of life?
