Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 [including as an attachment DK's diagram of our 7 planes; if anyone has trouble seeing the words, I can send a text file.] Pada III 37. TATAH PRATIBHA SRAVANA VEDANADAR-SASVADA VARTA JAYANTE. Tatah = thence; pratibha = spontaneous intuition; sravana = clairaudience; vedana = higher touch; adarsa = clairvoyance; asvada = higher taste; varta = higher smell; jayante = arises. From this knowledge arises superphysical hearing, touching, seeing, tasting and smelling through spontaneous intuition. [No commentary.] - Tr. Satchidananda ------------- Book III 36. As the result of this experience and meditation, the higher hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell are developed, producing intuitional knowledge. Through meditation the aspirant becomes aware of the counterparts of the five senses as they are found in the subtler realms, and through their awakening and conscious use he becomes able to function as freely on the inner planes as he does on the physical. He can then serve intelligently in those realms and cooperate with the great evolutionary scheme. The senses may be defined as those organs whereby man becomes aware of his surroundings. In the animal these five senses exist, but the thinking correlating faculty is lacking. They demonstrate as group faculty, analogous to a racial instinct in the human kingdom. Each of these five senses has a definite connection with one or other of the seven planes of manifestation, and has also a correspondence on all the planes. Plane Sense 1.

They really didn't get it, and got lost in eclectic speculation and listening to 'masters', etc...ONS Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they're in very good company, since in your judgment the Dalai Lama really doesn't get it either. )))))))) LOL )))))))))))) Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
