Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 since this subject appers at many forums in synchronicity: I think the universe wnats us to work on it from HS: F: My teacher once told me. " Illumination is deep sleep " .I answered, can there be full consciousness while there is deep sleep? " He said " Full consciousness is deep sleep, only the background remains, which is consciousness. One may remain working with mind but not identified with it as people usually are. " H: The light of the Self is always there as It Self, as pure consciousness. Fully awake, it is the nature of freedom How brightly the light of the Self is reflected depends on the purity of the mind, and the subtlety of the intellect. A mind that is more or less unconscious during the awake state will be so in sleep as well and lie merged in the Self. Coming out of the Self, it is still the same mind. A mind that is becoming pure and aware has the possibility of entering the deep sleep state while conscious. That is Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Coming out, it is still the same mind, but the Self recognizes It Self even in the presence of the mind. That is why aham Brahm Asmi (I Am the Self) is one of the Mahavakyas. Sri Ramana has pointed out that deep sleep must be experienced while awake. The Realization is that that the Same Self is present in all states. Only, the Self is experienced in its fullness if one enters the sleep while awake. As long as the latent tendencies are strong, Self remains covered to some degree in association with the mind. Self never fully loses sight of itself, its nature being that of Pure Self-Sight. It Sees Only It Self.. B: I was glad to read this. Your insight seemed pointed at me as I was pondering this question of deepsleep yesterday. In a conversation last week with a fellow named Sandeep about discrimination he mentioned something about 'B's World' disappearing in deep sleep and I remembered this staying awake while= the mind was stilled. * E: I see sooo many dearones go to lala -land at this point: to belive that they reincarnate like a clone into the next life and than the next; some even recall who they were in a previous = life pathetic! --we resonate with an essence familiar to us at the most, as did Buddha recognise his previous self's essence <---! there are only essences held by and essences getting slowly refined by living organisms it is so simple all life depends on on life-force, on god-force, its present in every livin= g thing and in deep sleep its not aberrated by the small self: its pure: one can say its pure *Consciousness B: The faculty of discrimination being active in a sense, in discrimination between the Self and not-Self, seems to see thoughts and discard the involvement in them. I was wondering if you had any further insight about this. I hope you and yours are well by the way. ----- * S: really many children have very valid past life recall...... who says anyone is like a clone ? i have past life knowledge which was quite instrumental in understanding what was being played out within this one and why ...... E: yes, that can be useful for processing I hate to tell you this, but all these holy expenses awakening visions are created by the mind in other words by Lucifer ***mind is the LuciferL the APPLE we should not have to derail us to test us and to keep the gate toward God protecte and clean some of these dreamed up universes are kept up by great spiritual sages and mystics, the Bardo belongs to these also imho ETHICS!! because STRAIGHT is the way and NARROW is the gate what leads to God [Life] --all the inner plane holy visions and and glimpses, experiences belong ther above the supracausal plane, where the God planes start, there is a final gate; to go through that one the mind must be left behind it can NOT go there, very very few have the courage to trough that one because it literally feels like death and that meditation is storyless --monks who went trough recognise each other but has no story to share just a consciousness an understanding S: past life experience ? E: are mindgames or processing the 'story' but NOT from god plus 'wants' are a no no: one can enter to the pure-planes innocent like a child, without wantings E: there are only essences held by and essences getting slowly refined by living organisms it is so simple just have the RIGHT VIEW and the right ETHICS do not want " IT " for yourself S: the essence is always pure E: no, still its " personalised' its not -- all life depends on on life-force, on god-force, its present in every living thing and in deep sleep its not aberrated by the small self: its pur= e: one can say its pure *Consciousness, but that state can not be held in waking state --even Sri Ramana could not hold this motionless samadhi: he had to be taken care of by others --the difference between deep sleep and deep meditation lies from where one exist the body; in deep sleep mostly through the hara that is why siting is stressed for meditation its better to stoop forward than fall back, there is a geometry involved what makes the crown or thirdeye exit easier ------------- --if someone " gets it " it is from Grace, not through any wise text; those are pointers only rather it can be grasped in an instant, by osmosis and in that same instance s/he is onto a higher essence sharing with the like-minded and all the knowledge who dwells in there is shared and becomes available --and if someone is lucky enough and deserved through correct spiritual ethics and collects essences what are useful for mankind its very possible that such 'essence' will manifest on the physical plane all the way in value of an Avatar like Buddha ONLY if its helpful for elevating mankind imo --its not a reincarnation of anykind of small selfs --this is a very crucial point, where the android, the small ego tries to claim God; but its Not possible *God is a FLOW, 'it' can NOT be claimed, grabbed onto, or owned. The minute you try these it goes to the android and its gone It is all on a RAZOR'S EDGE and all razors have 2 sides --I have two cyberfriends who gone stray at this crucial point, they want to be 'saved' and hope to reincarnate, butthe minute one has an AGENDA a wish instead of a VOID created by meditation where God can flow in, the sadhana goes to the android again --one of them is meditation laying down, forgetting, that the sacred geometry is at play as the the God-Tumo: Life-Force is coming from above and not form the North Pole once one is 'up' already its ok to lay down but the value of that meditation we called sleepitaion and its less Era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
