Shankari Kali and family, 7 states of Consciousness

[Guest guest]

Namaste: Several years ago, every Saturday night, Maa and Swami would

read aloud " The Gospel of Ramakrishna " . Then, they translated it into

English. They comtemplated every word in order to give us the purest

translation with the Highest Vibration, the Vibration of Ramakrisha

himself.

The translation is called: " Ramakrishna, The Nectar of Eternal

Bliss " . On pages 78-79, Ramakrishna describes the 7 levels of

consciousness and how one acts in each level.

" The Vedas have elucidated 7 levels of consciousness. The awareness

resides in these 7 levels of consciousness. When awareness remains in

the world of objects and relationships, it is residing in the lower 3

chakras--the anus, the genitals, and the navel. Then the

contemplations don't move towards the upper chakras. All the mental

faculties are devoted to desires and attachments.

The 4th residence of awareness is in the chakra of the heart. There

you get your first glimpse of True Consciousness where on all sides

you find the Vision of Light. The individual at that time is

mesmerized or astounded by the wonder of this Eternal Light, and he

says, " What is this/ " Then his mind no longer has any tendencey to

move towards the lower levels of worldly attachments. The fifth

residence of awareness is in the throat. When the contemplations rise

to the throat, the Wishudda chakra, all the ignorance and all the

foolishness are renounces in favor of listening to the Eternal Truth

of God and Words of Wisdom. If anyone indulges in worldly gossip,

such an individual leaves that place at once. The 6th residence is

the Ajna chakra in the forehead. If awareness goes there, you have

the Eternal Vision of Supreme Divinity. Still a little bit of " I "

remains.

 

Indivuiduals who have the vision of That Which is Beyond From, quickly

become united with the Divine. They want to touch that form of the

formless, but they are unable to. It's just like when there is light

in a lantern, and you think that you can touch it, but there's a glass

surrounding it making it impossible to touch the flame.

 

The 7th region is in the Sahasrara at the top of the head. If your

contemplation goes there, then you go into samadhi. All the knowers

of the Supreme Divinity have the actual vision of divine communion

with God. " .........

Contemplate these powerful words and close your eyes and experience

the transformation of consciousness.
