Odic/Actinic

 

Marcus,

 

Thank you for sharing this, and all of what you share here.

 

I must say, that your own words reach me more effectively.

 

Much gratitude,

>Hi Dharma,

Yes, straight spine is vital. As we progress in our sadhana, meditation

is carried with us into daily life; this awareness becomes more and more

the norm in our day to day lives. Some of my most wonderful moments have

not been in "meditation" in the strictest use of the word.

>Not too long ago, the youngest boy and I had to go to the high-school. He

>will be going there next year, and all of the eighth graders have a

>mandatory orientation. There were 3 films, each about 15 minutes long.

>I have to admit that I took advantage of the darkness, and enjoyed a

>wonderful meditative period in the midst of two hundred people.

>Even now, I can't pay attention in class.

>So yes, straight back...and were off!

>The surrender is an important time in sadhana. Once this is done

>completely, chances are a person's spiritual practice will take off like a

>rocket.

>Below is a re-print of Odic and Actinic forces.

>In a nutshell, actinic force is life-force

>odic is the magnetism that pulls people into groups

>Though both exist solely in God, the odic force is a ''modification'' of

>the actinic. But then again, so is everything; whereas the actinic is the

>pristine Prana Shakti, life-force.

 

 

>There are two forces that we become conscious of when we begin to mediate:

the odic force and the actinic force. Actinic force is pure life energy

emanating from the central source of life itself. Odic force is magnetism

that emanates out from our physical body, attracts and merges with the

magnetism of other people. The odic force is what cities are made of,

homes are made of. The actinic force, flowing through the physical body,

out through the cells and through the skin, eventually becomes odic force.

 

 

>>As soon as we begin to meditate, we become conscious of these two forces

and must be aware of how to deal with them. The odic forces are warm,

sticky. The actinic forces are inspirational, clean, pure, true. We seek

in meditation the actinic force.
