Aren't Jake Paul and Trump like the same person? Why are people so shocked by this information? This is just a known fact...?

Hence, son! Conquer thought easily by the certitude that all is Consciousness

It is thought that is the great delusion. It is thought that is the body and senses and life. It is thought that is the world and beings. It is thought that is worldly bondage. It is thought that is the Veda-s and scriptures. It is thought that is inquiry and all others. It is thought that is good and bad qualities. It is thought that is sentience and insentience. It is thought that is a great sin. It is thought that is a great blemish. It is thought that is a great disputant. It is thought that is a great disease. It is thought that is the great fear. It is thought that is the great bondage. It is thought that produces all the anxiety. It is thought that appears as all.

When thought is not there, There is not, in the least, the world and its beings. If it is there, they are there. Therefore, son! it is thought that is the individual (jiva) and the Supreme (Para) and the world. One must conquer thought  by any possible means. The conquest of thought is the unparalleled victory. If you want to ask what is the means of conquering this loathsome thought, Now here this.

There is never such a thing as thought at all. There is only the Supreme Brahman, Which is all Consciousness, Established as eternal and perfectly full. This permanent certitude is the unfailing means, son! For victory over thought. By this, destruction of the mind will truly result. If that results, all will shine as Consciousness.

If we think for a moment that there is such a thing as thought, Consciousness itself will appear as thought. That itself will appear as the world and jiva-s and the Supreme. There will be misery arising out of it. Hence, son! Conquer thought easily By the certitude that there is no such thing as thought And all is Consciousness, And thereby attain Bliss.

The conquest of thought is, itself, the renunciation of thought. The renunciation of thought is of the nature of Consciousness. Your true nature, son, is Consciousness. Thoughts and others are, also, of the nature of Consciousness. Truly, all is of the nature of Consciousness. By the certitude that I am ever of the nature of that Consciousness, You shall easily overcome thought And attain happiness.

Review: The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Beware, spoilers for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

Summary from Goodreads:

Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past. She can’t. She used to think her problems were all in her head. They aren’t. She couldn’t imagine that after everything she’s been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets. She’s wrong. In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?

Well, that was an emotional roller coaster. I had no idea I was getting on that ride, I can tell you that. My poor friends. I through fits during lunch, slammed the book shut during class, melted down in between classes...

First off, let applaude the lovely Michelle Hodkin:

for making me do this:

and this:

at the same time and under the same aspect #takethatAristotle

Okay, Hodkin's had a lot to deliver after such an amazing debut. And rarely is it followed up, let alone surpassed. And by and by, she did it ladies and gentlemen. 

How? Why, I've never met an author that can play cat and mouse better than her. Just when we think we've captured the wee little beast...OOPS! Gone. The plot is extremely fast paced, without ever losing it's purpose. The danger of weaving complicated webs, sometimes, is that the center becomes very hard to find. But Hodkin made sure we never lost site of it, or purposely dragged us away for little while with a bit of tantalizing nip *ahem, Noah* so that the path back to the center just became much more complicated.

What exactly is the purpose of this novel? Well.

It's actually not Mara's sanity. In the first novel, she was presented as an unreliable narrator. We discover, of course, she's not crazy (completely), and while she may hallucinate, we can now pick those moments apart from reality. The real question of this novel is what are she and Noah? I think I speak for everyone that the plot twiste at the end of Unbecoming was left curve because we were under the impression that the novel was contemporary. Nope! Instead, it looks something like this:

Hodkin managed to keep the intrigue of that question at high suspense, while still feeding us bits and tibits of information. But we are left completely satisfied because, let me say, this woman knows how to character develop.

Yeah, yeah, I'll talk about that beautiful boy with that lucky girl. Noah. and Mara. *sigh* I will say, I am hyper aware of romantic relationships, and always on the lookout for unhealthy ones. And Mara almost fell into the ditch...almost. But in this book, it alost didn't matter, because these guys can be so brutally honest with each other. So much, in fact, that it becomes very easy to spot when someone isn't. And yes, there are many scenes that result in this such madness:

And these guys work through problems and how to move on because no relationship is perfect, and I love that about them. Of course, by the end of the novel, there's err, this problem, problem, but I have and always will declare-

And Daniel! Oh, I claim Daniel! Because no matter how smoldering Noah may be, this Daniel is the equivalent of happy heaven. Yes, of course there are other kinds of heaven *Duh!* I've always wanted an older brother, and younger ones are cool too (Joseph Represent!), but Daniel is so much more than a brother who loves Mara and treats her like a human being (even when diagnosed as crazy)-he's the guys that is always giving, always sacrificing, always caring. And I know that can't continue forever, and he will at some point break, but I don't want to watch it happen!

One last note before I head out (why are these reviews always so sporadic?!?! Wait, don't answer that), you thought the last ending was bad? Oh, honey, this:

turns into this:

I'm curios to hear other people's views, let me know if you went as crazy as I did reading this!
