Horticulture to Himalayan Silence: The Global Spiritual Journey of Alfred Julius Emmanuel Sørensen (Sunyata Bhai)

 https://www.academia.edu/170603836/Horticulture_to_Himalayan_Silence_The_Global_Spiritual_Journey_of_Alfred_Julius_Emmanuel_S%C3%B8rensen_Sunyata_Bhai_
Truth, God, Reality and integral Consciousness is one-, a non-dual one-, and our ego-consciousness is a due mode in the duly blinkered part-play within the integral One. What we call facts are not truth. The actual is not the real. Knowledge is not wisdom. Power corrupts egojis and is not integral strength-. Peace is not joyous ease (Ananda). Lust and liberty are not the freedom of no desire. Yog is not Self controlled spontaneity – but awakening into integrality is a kind of gratuitous grace-. The God-head, the Christ, the Comforter, or ‘ghostly Spirit’ are but word-symbols, concepts and (imposed?) abstractions to us until we realise, experience and live it- integrally. Wu!

This autobiographical meditation by Alfred Emanuel Sorensen (Sunya Bhai) traces the gradual unfolding of a life rooted not in an intellectual search for truth but in the spontaneous maturation of integral awareness. Recalling his early encounters in England with Theosophy, J. Krishnamurti, Sufism, Vedanta, Taoism, and the spiritual wisdom that &quot;made our Asia mild,&quot; Sorensen distinguishes between superficial acquaintance through books and lectures and the transformative realization born of direct experience. He argues that authentic spiritual understanding is not the product of analytical study, memory, or accumulated knowledge, but of &quot;integral reading&quot;—a contemplative mode of awareness in which consciousness itself becomes the medium of understanding. Knowledge, in this sense, is existential rather than conceptual; it is lived, not merely learned.
Rejecting the conventional role of teacher, preacher, or spiritual authority, Sorensen maintains that genuine realization carries no impulse to convert, instruct, or save others. Instead, truth expresses itself naturally through effortless presence, echoing the Taoist ideal of non-doing (wu wei) and the silent radiance of awakened consciousness. His reflections on India reveal a profound appreciation for the continuity of its spiritual traditions. Although he visited numerous ashrams, caves, and holy places associated with saints, sages, and realized beings, he emphasizes that liberation is never dependent upon external proximity to a master. The true pilgrimage is inward, where the Self alone is the source of realization.
Drawing extensively upon the life and teaching of Ramana Maharshi, Sorensen presents Advaita Vedānta as an immediate state of non-dual awareness beyond the egoic notions of &quot;I,&quot; &quot;me,&quot; and &quot;mine.&quot; Ramana, he suggests, did not merely teach non-duality; he embodied it completely. In such integral consciousness, there is no separation between knower and known, no duality between seeker and sought, and no need for psychological self-assertion. Silence itself becomes the highest language of truth, transcending conceptual thought and verbal instruction.
The autobiographical narrative deliberately avoids sensational spiritual experiences, miracles, or esoteric claims. Instead, it portrays enlightenment as the quiet continuity of consciousness that remains unchanged from childhood through old age. Concluding with the principle of swadharma, Sorensen affirms that every individual must realize truth through his or her own authentic path. The essay thus offers a profound critique of intellectualism and spiritual ambition, presenting integral awareness as a lived reality characterized by humility, inward freedom, self-abidance, and the effortless expression of universal consciousness.

					<description><![CDATA[Beyond Words, Beyond Self: Voices of the Mystics-- Alfred Julius Emmanuel Sørensen (Sunyata Bhai)
https://www.academia.edu/170119756/Beyond_Words_Beyond_Self_Voices_of_the_Mystics_Alfred_Julius_Emmanuel_S%C3%B8rensen_Sunyata_Bhai_

The following quotations, drawn from poetry, mysticism, and spiritual philosophy, present a comparative study of mysticism and reveal the universal language of spiritual realization. They express a common vision of the journey from the finite self to Ultimate Reality. In Silentium!, Fyodor Tyutchev teaches that the deepest truths of the soul are beyond words and can only be preserved in silence. Lascelles Abercrombie&#039;s Epitaph suggests that true freedom and perfection arise only through the symbolic death of the ego. The Sutta Nipāta points to liberation through the realization of emptiness and the abandonment of self-centred perception. Shakespeare&#039;s The Phoenix and the Turtle celebrates a perfect union in which duality disappears and love transcends all distinctions. Francis Thompson&#039;s The Mistress of Vision portrays spiritual awakening as the death of the lower self, revealing the hidden unity of all existence. Meister Eckhart teaches that genuine prayer begins when all personal desire ceases, while the Buddha-inspired saying urges us to stop pleading and instead awaken to the Light already surrounding us.
Despite their diverse origins, these voices converge on a universal mystical insight: truth is discovered not through intellectual knowledge or worldly achievement, but through silence, self-emptying, detachment, and direct experience. Their shared message is that the dissolution of the ego unveils an indivisible Reality where wisdom, love, beauty, and freedom become one.
Together, these quotations emphasize that true wisdom lies not in accumulated knowledge or outward achievement but in self-knowledge and inner realization. They urge us to look beyond the ego, intellectual pride, and the illusion of personal agency, discovering the deeper reality of the Self through inward experience and spiritual awakening.

Silentium

Speak not, Be hidden and conceal
The way you dream, the thought you feel,
Deep in the silence, let them rise
Akin to stars in crystal skies-
That set before the night is blurred.
Delight in them and say no word-.


How can a heart expression find?
How should another know your mind?
Will he discern what quickens you?
A thought once uttered is untrue!
Dimmed is the fountain –head when stirred
Drink at the Source and speak no word.

Live stilly in yourself alone.
Within your soul a world has grown,
The magic of veiled thought that might
Be blinded by the outer light-,
Drowned in the noise of day, - unheard
Take in the song- and speak no word!

Epitaph

Sir, you should notice me: I am a man.
I am good fortune : I am satisfied,
All I desired, more than I could desire,
I have : Everything has gone right with me,
Life was a hiding place that played me false.
I crouched ashamed and still was seen and scorned:
But now I am not seen. I was a fool,
And now I know what wisdom dare not know: 
For I know nothing. I was a slave and now
I have ungoverned freedom and the wealth
That cannot be conceived:  for I have nothing.
I lookt for beauty and I longed for rest,
And now I have perfection: Nay, I am
Perfection: I am nothing, I am dead.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Where is the life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
“My long sickness of health and living now begins
To mend, and nothing brings me All things”
(Timon of Athens)

Alertly seek the realm or nothingness, and aided by the thought: Naught Is----- thou wilt cross the flood .......... 
(S.Nipata)
 
So they loved, as love in twain
Had the essence but in one, 
Two distinct, division none,
Number there in love was slain.

Hearts remote, yet not asunder;
Distance and no space was seen
‘Twixt the turtle and his queen;
But in them it was a wonder-.

Property was thus appall’d
That the self was not the same.
Single nature’s double name
Neither two nor one was called.

Reason in itself confounded
Saw division grow together!
To themselves yet either neither
Simply were so well compounded.

Either was the others mine......

Beauty, truth and rarity, grace in all simplicity
Here enclosed in cinders be.

Death is now, the Phoenix nest
And the Turtle’s loyal brest in Eternity doth rest.

Leaving no prosperity: - ‘Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.

Truth may seem but cannot be,
Beauty brags, but ‘tis not she.
Truth and Beauty buried be.
(From Shakespeare’s &quot;The Phoenix and the Turtle&quot;)


“Die, for no other way cans’t live -----
When thy seing blindest thee
To what other mortals see,
When their sight to thee is sightless, 
Their living death, their light most lightless
Seek no more-.
When to the new eyes of thee
All things by immortal power,
Near and far, Hiddenly-,
To each other linked are
That thou cans’t not stir or flower
Without troubling a star,
O seek no more .......”
(Francis Thompson)

“When I pray for aught my prayer goes for naught”.
When I pray for nought, I pray as I ought-.
When praying for someone, I pray at my weakest.
When praying for no one, I pray at my strongest
And when I want nothing and make no request,
I am praying at my best!
God is nearer to me than I am to yourself”.
						(Meister Eckhart)
 
“Do not complain and cry and pray, but open 
Your eyes and see, for the Light is all about
You, and it is so wonderful, so beautiful,
So far beyond anything that man has ever
Dreamt of or prayed for-, and it Is, forever and ever!”
						(Siddhartha Gautam Buddha)

&#039;A man has many skins in himself, covering the depth of his heart. Man knows so many things,  he does not know himself. Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, like those of an ox’s or a bear’s, so thick and hard covers his soul go into your own ground, and there experience your Self. Fools regard themselves as awake- and so personal is their knowledge, so cocksure their ignorance, so blinding their conceit of agency. Man, proud man, drest in a little brief authority most ignorant of  what he is  most assured, his glassy essence, like any angry ape, plays such  fantastic tricks before high heaven as  make the angels weep-?’  or is it ears? Wu!

Ramana Maharshi stated: “Sometime I stayed with my eyes closed and, when I opened that people said I had come out of my blessed Samadhi, but I never knew the difference between meditation and non-meditation -,  blessed or otherwise. I simply lived – a tranquil witness to whatever happens around me. I never felt called upon to interfere actually. I could never feel any urge to be anything except to be. I awared that all and always been done by HIM, by the self alone, though we poor puppets of Maya feel ourselves so (ego) Important as the doer, the action at the reformer of everything.

Nuestro dios occidental tiene una contradictoria dualidad ambivalente: Jehova un dios guerrero, destructor y despiadado. Envió el diluvio universal, destruyó Sodoma y Gomorra, detuvo el sol en el firmamento para que josué destruyera a sus enemigos. (Josué cap. 10, 12-14) y un largo etcetera. Por otra parte un dios bondadoso en la expresión de Jesucristo. Pero en lo medular coincido plenamente.]]></description>

This is how he describes his death-experience: “As I approached the steps leading up to the entrance into the rock, a strange thing happened: I had the feeling that everything was being sloughed away, everything I aimed at or wished for – or thought. The whole phantasmagoria of earthly existence fell away or was stripped from me, an extremely painful process. Nevertheless something remained. It was as if I now carried along with me everything that had happened around me and within me. I might also say: it was with me and I was it. I consisted of all that, so to speak. I consisted of my own history and I felt with great certainty: This is what I am. I am this bundle of what has been and what has been accomplished. The experience gave me a feeling of extreme poverty, but, at the same time, of great fullness: There was no longer anything I wanted, - needed – .or desired-. I existed in an objective form, I was what I had and had – lived-”.

But their descriptions of their death-experiencing – seem authentic and talley with that of Carl Jung and of Himalayan Jivan Muktis.
