Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Dear Rebecca, Rightly said (your quote of Dr. David Frawley). This heart (seat of the soul) referred to is called the hrdayam. In Ayurveda medicine pictures of the human body it is depicted by the word "samvit" which means consciousness. The Hrdayam, which is called the One Star in KY, because, like a graviton, it "sucks in" (hrd) and "blazes out" (ayam) simultaneously, i.e., drawing inward the sense of "I" (dissolving all images) and expanding the field of consciousness, can be described in the following analogy: In the Middle Ages, when people wondered about the nature of the stars, it was told that there is a shroud that covers the sky, behind which is the Infinite Light of God, and that in the shroud are pinpricks through which this light blazes forth, which we call stars. The analogy is taken further in that God ("I AM") is said to be the light that lights each one of us from the heart, through and behind which is the Infinite Being, and that within the fabric of apparent time and space (the veil of maya), is a pinprick located in the heart. Once the mind becomes pure, the right vagus nerve (atma or para nadi), which originates in the heart (2 digits to the right of sternum in the pacemaker or synod of the physical heart - not the anahata chakra) and extends to the crown, begins to reverberate with the incandescent pulsation of "I as I" tuning the whole body to this vibrationless vibration. In Kundalini Yoga this is called the Science of the One Star Spirituality. Then, the Soul awakens and our notional identity is put aside, as though waking from an amnesia. Initially, there arises a force almost like an intolerance of action: physical, mental, vocal, which may, nevertheless, continue or not without any sense of a doer, and you abide as single pervasive undifferentiated consciousness, where "thoughts, feelings, knowledge and imagination have no value" whatsoever. Everything is contained in you and you are everything, unconditioned, uncaused, timeless. Your mind is sucked into the pinprick in the shroud, and you abide as blazing light, like a self luminous screen upon which the universe both infitesimally small and infinitely vast have no distinction. This is the Truth even now. As you practice KY, the Yoga of Light - the postures, movements angles and breathing fill all the nerves with energy, so that the whole body resonates above and beyond the frequency of thought and images and impressions of the focusing power of the mind. You feel within your body and all around the body without distinction the radiance of light (first felt as the neutral body in the anahata chakra, where the mind is in complete electromagnetic balance, gradually expanding and awakening to the radiant body). Then with the Yoga of Sound, the energy compacted in the 72,000 nadis releases and the radiance begins to attune to the pervasive radiance of the Infinite Being. A sense of discernment or force of Intuitive Intelligence arises in the pure and radiant mind, in which you realize that who you are is the single seer, the pervasive etheric light within which appear the images in the mind and the images within time and space, without distinction or separation. This "I" sense then recognizes Itself as the Ground of True Being - as the soundless reverberation "I am the Truth." All other notions of identity of This "I" (the "I" of our notional "i") to this and that are rejected out of hand. When the Sun in the heart rises, the moon of the mind recedes, and becomes a small image in the blue sky of the awakened consciousness, no longer needed for seeing or knowing or being. The awakening of the sun in the heart is also known as the "Vajra Siddhi" or Lightningbolt Power - the "Guru Day Namo" - Vajra Siddhi Guru. This Spiritual Heart is also called the Temple of God - the Harimandir, where the Infinite Being - the Akal Purkh, is realized, upon which the Wisdom of True Guru - the Akal Takht awakens. You might want to listen to this in Liv Singh's rendition of "Adorn with Honor" - a poem of Yogi Bhajan about his realization, which he wrote in 1969, just before leaving Canada for LA. You can also hear these 2 stanzas, after a few minutes to download, in www.adityahrdayam.com. This One Star realization of this is called the experience the "non-dual." As Yogi Bhajan says: "Always abide in the non-dual." Pieter -- Message: 1 Thu, 5 Jun 2003 08:56:58 EDT rfarley51 Astral/Subtle Body Sat Nam... The astral and subtle body are used interchangeably... "Out of magnetism, electricity automatically arises. The magnetic polaraization or charge of the soul sets forth electrical currents and draws other currents to it from the external world. Out of the soul or heart arises the various electricities that sustain activity on all levels of our nature. The soul generates the force that creates and motivates the mind, senses and body. This electrical force is called vidyut shakti, literally "lightening" in Sanskrit. The magnetic sphere of the soul gives rise to an electrical field that creates the subtle or astral body, the sphere of our life energies and senses. All diseases have their origins in energy imbalances in the subtle/astral body and its life-force. Yoga works to spiritualize the subtle/astral body to turn it into a vehicle of spiritual realization."
