Beyond the Spectrum

[Guest guest]

The Atman - taken to be the individual consciousness, and Brahman - the all

pervasive single Universal Consciousness, are not 2.

 

The body and mind is like a complex prism that filters a spectrum of images from

the Infinite Light that is our Self.

 

Each body begins with certain predispositions or lenses through which segments

of the One all-pervasive Light that illumines the body/mind are seen and these

images are then held in focus, through the mind's mechanism of attention, as the

Atman.

 

To the body, it means that certain nerves are gradually brought to carry a

greater charge than others and the organs resonate and glands secrete

accordingly.

 

Over time the nerves and organs and glands that carry a weaker charge begin to

accumulate the flow of toxins that crystallize in the capillaries further

preventing the possibility of a wider perception of the spectrum of Light

(reflected consciousness).

 

These images are then stored in what we call the subconscious, which is really

the conglomeration of takes, which then act as lenses through which we see the

world and imagine Atman, our self, to be. As our True Self emanates through the

subconscious lens, with the feeling of "I," we assume an identity to these

images, and assume that these images make up the Atman.

 

Ancient Sages have been able to notice that these nerves, organs and glands are

grouped into seven major psychic spheres (5 along the spine, one behind the

forehead and one at the crown), 5 major nerves (ida, pingala and sushumna, with

the sushumna having three sections the silver cord or spinal cord along the

spine to the throat, then the passage to the crown, as one; the gold cord from

the point behind and between the eyebrows to the Crown; and the Atma Nadi or

major vagus nerve between the synod or pacemaker of the heart located to the

right of sternum to the Crown); and 3 Centers of Force through which the single

all-pervasive Light emanates (the Kandal - between the 4th vertebra and navel,

which regulates the generative energy flow; the Tenth Gate stemming from the

hypothalamus through the crown of the head; which governs the involutionary

energy flow; and the Hrdayam - the synod of the heart, which is the Singularity

that sucks in and dissolves the illusion of separation of the reflected

consciousness - like a Black Hole from which emanates Zero Point or Substratum

of Being-Consciousness-Energy).

 

Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, innumerable

postures, movements, combined with long deep breathing and Breath of Fire and

related variations, and in different specific combinations of Kriyas, put

pressure on the psychic spheres, nerves and force centers, through which the

Infinite Light passes and is diffused into the numerous images we assume to be

real. Blood charged with the powerful effect of the specialized breathing

saturates these areas, causing the capillaries to open, then discharging their

accumulated toxins and crystallized toxins, until the cells also begin to

discharge their waste. Then gradually the nerves, organs and glands begin to

regenerate, building up and carrying a charge that brings about a normal

balanced voltage natural and inherent to each area.

 

As the charge builds, the weaker areas within the nerves groupings and centers

begin to balance with the other areas that carry the charge that previously

predominated in bringing about the resonance of the vision we had of the world

and the idea of who and what the Atman is.

 

Once the body field has become charged, as a result of the practice of many

varied Kundalini Kriyas and sets, specialized Kundalini meditations, which are

made up of mantras and mudras and angles and positions, channel the energy into

areas that further open and balance the nerves, spheres and centers so that a

greater spectrum of Light can pass through the body/mind field.

 

Gradually, the entire field begins to balance and resonate to a level above

thinking and images, to the level of pure still intuitive consciousness. The

subconscious now resonates as pure reflected consciousness, which is to say that

it reflects the Truth purely.

 

When such a one, whose generative center in the Kandal is open, is now told

about or reads about or hears the Truth, the mind fills with devotion to That

Truth (Sravana or hearing), which opens the Force Center in the Crown, and that

one becomes absorbed in It (Manana or contemplation), until the Truth Itself,

the all-pervasive Brahman (the Father), suddenly and entirely dissolves the

reflected consciousness altogether, and we abide as our True Self (Niddidyasana

or Mahamudra), as eternal, unconditioned, uncaused spacelike Being

Consciousness. The body field now resonates as non-dual undifferentiated

pervasive Light and "I as I" - without distinctions or separations.

 

The words that will be spoken by such a one might be "I am the Truth.I and my

Father are One.This Atman is That Brahman." "God and Me, Me and God are

One." even "I (the universal consciousness) am the Light of the world."

 

The whole matter comes to "hearing" - bringing the body field to a point of

resonance to where this "hearing" can become possible, as with hearing, the True

Self awakens and recognizes Itself as the True Hearer. From that point on you

know and abide in the Truth, even as the body field goes through a process of

relentless purification.
