Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 "The knower of the mystery of [the inner sound current - shabda] knows the mystery of the whole universe. Whoever has followed the strains of this sound has forgotten all earthly distinctions and differences, and has reached that goal of truth in which all the Blessed Ones of God unite."- Hazrat Inayat Khan______________________________With every breath the Sound of Lovesurrounds us, and we are bound forthe depths of space, without distraction.Out beyond duality, we have a Home, and it is Majesty.That pure substance is differentfrom this dusty world.We once came down;soon we'll return.-- Rumi_______________________________Some comparative mysticism regarding inner planes or levels of creation.All planes of creation are comprised of many levels within levels or spheres within spheres, and even the physical plane may indeed be part of a vast multiverse of universes or parallel universes. Some Masters describe "18,000" universes! To be sure, our awareness of the creation continues to expand, and we keep perceiving more and more and yet more of All That Is. http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o3/era4/om/sheets.gif There are five basic levels in Sant Mat: astral, mental, causal, etheric, and spiritual. Sant Mat Masters generally divide the Fifth Plane (Sach Khand) into four zones: Sat Lok (Sat, Haq -- Truth), Alakh Lok (Invisible), Agam Lok (Inaccessible).http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o3/era4/om/planes.jpgWithin th 5th plane (God plane) there are these:The Eighth,Akal (Timeless),Infinite,Nonduality,Ultimate Reality,The Lord of the Soul,The Nameless One,The Most High,Anurag Sagar(The Ocean of Love and All-Consciousness). Spiritual dimensions have been assigned many names in different schools of mysticism and spirituality, and have been categorized, divided and subdivided ("lower astral", "higher astral", etc...) in various ways, but basically, what is being described is "body, mind and spirit": material planes, mental planes and above all, the timeless spiritual realm that is beyond illusion and duality, above *"Mind" and "Time". The goal of Sant Mat *Meditation is to rise above body-consciousness and consciousness of the other subtle bodies of mind and matter, to merge with the Divine River or Current of Sound and Light that flows into the Ocean of All Consciousness (Sach Khand).

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Werner: Era, Why posting this collection of Sufism ? Do you still believe that there is path one which one could find bliss and happiness or even worse, enlightenment ? Forget it, no chance ... Era: Well, Werner, I've seen it with my own eyes: Ching Hai (the founder of Quan Yin) was sitting next to me in Agra when *IT did happen to her..call 'it' what you wish.. Chances are limitless: besides the Sufi, Tantric Buddhism, or Shavism ....and of course NISARGADATTA's way are all roads to freedom.
