Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Namaste: From the text by Swami, entitled: " Tattva Jnana " , there are 7 levels of consciousness. This is a MUST READ, text, as it is the outline for all study and knowledge which Maa and Swami have taught, or will teach us. They would love us to memorize the book. 1. bhuh: the gross body: perceivable through the senses 2. bhuvah: the subtle body: conceivable in the mind 3. svah: the causal body: known through intuition 4. mahah: the great body of existence: all that is knowable 5. janah: the body of knowledge: all knowledge 6. tapah: the body of light: all ight into which the knowledge dissolves 7. satyam: the causal body: the intuitive world of infinite consciousness, true being, and the ultimate bliss This is a life long course of study, both thru the intellect, and thru meditation, puja, homa, chanting, etc. Every spiritual technique we perform attempts to lead us from the gross body, to the subtle, and onto the causal body, merging with pure awareness. In that state the sense of " I " , the ego, is gone. There is no individuality. By daily repeating the experience, one's awareness begins to identify more with the subtle levels of life, and one can hear and feel more and more of God's presence in one's life. So, thru daily practice, we learn to remove our awareness from the gross world of the senses, or objects and relationships, and diving deep inside, ultimately, we experience our own true nature, Sat, Chit, Ananda. Truth, Pure Awareness / Consciousness, Bliss. We must be regular in our spiritual practice, and firm in our commitment, and with the help of a Divine Guru, satsunga, fellowship with like-minded devotees, and God's Grace, we will reach the Goal. So, choose a spiritual practice you are attracted to, make a sankalpa, firm commitment, and begin to practice it daily, without fail. When you have questions, come to the group or Swami's classes, and continue, no matter what. Soon you will feel results. Thousands of generations of spiritual seekers and Saints have performed these techniques and all have experienced the same results, so, we know they work. Have faith,and trust in your Guru. All will work out.

I was listening to someone who mentioned these states of consciousness. One of these states of consciousness is the most basic in which the person is completely focused on him/herself, and then there is a next step and on and on. I was wondering if anything is written about this on the website. > > Thanks, > Shankari Kali > > > > Be a better Heartthrob.
