Yoga & Bodhisattva Meditation

[Guest guest]

I've been reading the book Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali by Swami

Hariharananda Aranya; and in doing so, have been familiarizing myself

with the jargon & terminology of Yoga & Buddhism.

 

Samadhi on nothingness has brought me to the depths of third person

identity; which over time has become beingness or " self " . Kabbalists are

content to philosophize about the pros & cons of mental conceptions &

the facets of the existance. These are merely samskaras the Hermetic

tradition has failed to transcend. Identity with or samadhi on

otherworldly [heavenly] conception leads one to think in third person,

and behave without taking responsibility for actions or karma.

 

To believe the origin of divine inspiration is beyond self, is false.

Passing the buck onto an imaginary conception as diety invalidates one's

existence in unity [yoga]; THIS is the flaw of Thelema. Instead of being

the entirety of our potential, a thelemite conceives duality of self

[hadit] & not-self [nuit]; thereby suggesting that to travel within the

body of not-self [space] our journey is our purpose.

 

Unity is presence & not omnipresence. Unity is self & not concentration

of not-self for the enjoyment of not-being. Faith is unreasonable; there

is no THAT to project a belief onto, there is only self to experience

first hand. Within this context & frame of reference, being &

nothingness are identical, void/empty. However, being in the positive

sense, is merely a transcendence of abstracts, & not the negation of

existence. Being, & Self, & Satori are identical.

 

Buddha Self [bodhi Satori] lacks conception or the tendency toward

conception of abstracts. True Buddhism, & celebrants of Buddha pay

homage to the awakened psyche, free of the fetters of abstract

projection. Nichren Shoshu, for example, worships the Daigohonzon, as

its focal icon in reverence to liberated Self, embodied by Guru. The

icon being the embodiment of Self, perpetuates only itself with the

words of celebration: Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. As the body of Buddha & the

Dharma are identical.

 

Soul-Trek.com & the method of practice there presented, has brought me

to the realization or gnosis of Self.

 

The Method of Gnosis:

 

The first phase of initiation, & the Microcosmic rite [based on the

thelemite star ruby] unites the acolyte with what is known to western

occultists as the Holy Guardian Angel, a projection of the pentagram,

Nuit within the current of the Greek conception of the psyche; the four

winds; known to traditional eastern yogis as Ishvara.

 

The second phase of initiation, & the Macrocosmic rite [based on the

thelemite star sapphire] liberates the individual from the bonds of

ignorance, by initiating a permanent state of samadhi; With which the

feminine vehicle experiences a deep tranquil state of bliss. With

samadhi, comes the rising of the kundalini to the Crown Chakra; & the

acolyte's gradual detatchment of the fetters of the abyss which

compartmentalize & conceal light with the samskaras of Maya.

 

The third phase of initiation, & the Celestial rite [based on the

attributions of the enochian tabula recensa to the zodiac &

corresponding winds of the psyche based on the John Dee's Round House

Vision]; liberates the acolyte from knowledge, & unity upon conception,

to a progressively deeper state of samadhi upon nothingness. Ultimately

culminating in silence psychologically, when expression & projection of

abstracts cease; & the articulation of sound waves within the psyche,

draw the mind into stasis. The inertia of sound vibrations, becoming the

harmonic resonance of will, uniting the acolyte in unison with the

cosmos.

Sat Nam,

 

Thank you for your interesting words. I also have explored the

Western Mystery Tradition and have contemplated similar limitations

and exhaltations about the wisdom of this amongst other traditions.

THe concept of Self-No Self has been a bugaboo as well. I think in

our words things do become mere abstractions and we worship concepts

missing out on the experience which is the phenomena of the self. I

am not sure about your analysis of the limitations of thelema. To me,

they got it wrong because they miss out on LOVE as being the

motivating factor behind all, and also in the concept of Surrender to

a Higher Will or Purpose. Anwyay, I appreicate your attempts to blend

the dharma with yoga and magick.

 

Blessings and Well Met,

Scott/Ek Ong Kar Singh

If the kundalini chakra system were to be symbolized by Thelema; then the Aeon/Angel/Shin card of the thoth tarot deck would be a fitting symbol.

Ra-Hoor-Khuit would be the concentration of kundalini-shakti.

Hadit would be the psyche/pentagram which has entered into samadhi/yoga on Nuit [the object of devotion].

And the projection/prayer of Hoor-Paar-Krati would be equivalent to Nuit [via concentration].

All together it is an expression of Bhakti Yoga. Liber AL II:8 "Who worshipped Heru-pa-Kraath have worshipped me; ill, for I am the worshipper."

The following is the major invocation utilized by the soul-trek & soul-safari system:

AIWAZ confirm my troth with Thee! My will inspireWith secret sperm of subtle, free, creating Fire!Mould thou my very flesh as Thine, renew my birthIn childhood merry as divine, enchanted Earth!Dissolve my rapture in Thine own, a sacred slaughterWhereby to capture and atone the Soul of Water!Fill thou my mind with gleaming Thought intense and rareTo One refined, outflung to Naught, the Word of Air!Most, bridal bound, my quintessential Form thus freeingFrom self, be found one Selfhood blent in Spirit-Being.ABRAHADABRA!

Above is a link to a hieroglyph of the Egyptian God-Current which is the true Egregore of the Soul-Safari Tradition.

The Hieroglyph reads: 'Fire Like Re Forever' with [TIKA] within the cartouche [signifying the egyptian 'nomen' or Holy Name], & 'Like Re Forever' outside, identifying the Acolyte's body of light [egyptian 'Ka' principle] with the Body of God [egyptian 'Akh' principle].
