Non-Dual Christ Excerpt

[Guest guest]

Dear Mary,

Try going to www.kundalini-matashakti.com, then go to the links to the right.

Pieter's articles will have the Non-Dual Christ Excerpt. The Non-Dual Christ

excerpt is part of the article "The Self Maya and the Heart: The Philosophy of

Non-Dualism"

 

There are also articles by Yogi Bhajan, links to spiritual texts, under Sravana

("True Hearing), links to some yoga sets, links to the KRI Teacher's Training

Curriculum.

 

The teachings and words of the Saviors, such as Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Rama,

the Sikh Gurus and others - all resonate at there core the non-dual experience.

When the mind is pure enough the True Self "hears" the words recognizes their

meaning and recollects Itself,and a spontaneous awakening to one's inner Truth

occurs that brings about a sense of a churning in the nerves. The sense of "I"

now associated with the ever changing thoughts, emotions, impressions and

sensations withdraws into the heart (hrdayam - the self-illuminating center

mentioned in Patanjali's yoga sutras and elsewhere) and the whole body polarizes

itself and tunes to the reverberation of the soundless sound of the pulsing of

"I as I"in the atma nadi that rises from the heart to the brain (Sahasrara), and

the "whole body is filled with light."

 

We think of ourselves as just a body with thoughts and sensations dealing with

the situations and events of the world, but the whole body (gross, subtle and

causal) is made up of archetypal forces that resonate the True Self, which is

felt in the heart like a gravitational force - the pulsing of "I" and pervasive

force of light - consciousness. The expanding awareness of identity from

thoughts and sensations of the body to the feeling of oneself as knowing or

intuitive consciousness, to the sudden link and recognition of the single "I"

without any images at all, is the kundalini.

 

Within us is the overriding need to hear and know our Truth, which has given

rise to our need to build churches and temples to house the words of the Saviors

and Saints, and keep days holy just to hear them on the chance that one day the

promised "Hearing" will occur, at which point the words of the Saviors have in

them the power to completely and radically effect this awakening with a

transforming force that is more powerful than any yoga one might practice.

 

The practice of Kundalini Yoga penetrates deeply into the total purification of

the body and mind to the point where there is an etheric electromagnetic

stillness. Then the words of the Saviors are easily "heard" and the

recollection of "I and my Father are One" awakens - We awaken to the words in

the song - "He's the only one who sees, the only one who hears, the only one who

speaks and thinks, Me and God, God and Me, Me and God are One."

 

Often one will grow up with the words of one's religion. For example,

preachers, priests, evangelists, reverends will repeat the words of Christ in

every church setting, and yet the core meaning of the words are not heard or

barely heard and the link is not triggered. Sometimes by going to other

religions, such as Vedanta of the Hindu Religion, Zen texts and Sutras of the

Buddhist religion, shabads of the GuruGranthSahib, one will begin to hear the

non-dual message and suddenly there appears the pulsing singularity of the Self

in the Heart. All of a sudden one finds that all that has heard and read in the

teachings of Christ go through an inner process of True hearing, as though one

had an encryption program installed that decoded the words back into the

resonance of their single Truth, and you feel yourself abiding in the resonance

of That - and understanding the true meaning of "Abide in Me, as I abide in my

Father (the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14) for I and my Father are One."

 

What happens, when this radial link occurs is that every cell, every atom of the

body turns, as it were, to hear, its single Truth. Thoughts dissolve and there

is a pure subtle, concentrating intuiting, as though you were in a dark room at

night listening for the sound of a pin to drop. Every fiber of one's being

tunes to this hearing of the soundless sound of the inner / pervasive pulsing of

one's Self - "I as I." And this Truth becomes so overriding that it continues on

its own as the substratum of all thoughts and sensations, like the screen upon

which the film of a movie is seen, only, as the mind is drown deeper and deeper

into the Singularity of the Heart (not the Anahata chakra), it is as though the

light behind the film is becoming brighter and brighter and one realizes that

one is the Light and not the scene, as in "I am the Light of the world" and

these words of Christ are understood and realized to be the call of recognition

of our own ever abiding Truth.

 

To repeat Christ's constant refrain, and the refrain we hear similarly repeated

over and over in the spiritual texts of the Saviors in all religions: "Those

who have ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit has to say ....."

Pieter,

 

First let me say that I really enjoy your postings and print them out and

read them over and over. This particular posting is quite profound.

I would love to read more of the article but cannot seem to get the link to

work. Is there another way to access it?

 

Sat Nam,

Mary P
