Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 Namaste All, Understanding that within illusion all is Energy and it has different names for varied functions. Mind is a very subtle energy for example, being thoughts ,which are pure energy. What we call the human soul/entity is part of the mind as well and is essentially the vijnanamayakosa and anandamayakosa. K activity manifests in different ways with individuals, at varied paths of comprehension. I think we can all accept that it is K-Prana that is doing the cleansing initially. In some ,depending on their karma, it may be healing hands, psychic ability, surges of enjoyable energy, telepathy is one aspect that indicates a common mind. Speech is part of this, the vocal cords produce sound but not words. The words come from the veena in the body, the muladhara to ajna. This is where the vital and mental sheaths are involved. When the mind decides upon an idea it is the prana playing upon this veena that produces the words. This is why too much speech is such a waster of energy! In others, who may be doing some spiritual practices, it may manifest as 'Awareness', for mind as an energy has many levels as well. 1). The ordinary mind, 2). The super-mind, 3). The higher mind, 4). The illuminated mind, 5). The intuitive mind, 6). The over-mind. Mind does not have it's own power it is part of Atma-Sakti, a reflection if you will. It is evident that one level of mind can penetrate the level below. There can be a lot of activity of K anywhere in the body, but this does not necessarily mean that it has 'permanently', risen to dwell in that chakra. This is usually because it hasn't risen above the lower physical chakras permanently. There can be a lot of activity from the Manipura chakra for here is based the pranamayakosa or vital/energy sheath, which is all-pervasive and can be felt in the whole body/mind. Therefore the 'K', seems to have risen when in fact it is the prana. However once it has risen to the Anahata chakra one can experience some bliss and compassion. This is the start of the human spiritual chakras. Most people don't get to the Ajna chakra for this is the seat of the vijnanamayakosa, and is above the 'lower mind'. Most of human activity is in the lower mind, even among the so-called intellectuals. One can usually ascertain by a person's awareness, compassion and behaviour, at which chakra they are at. For example one has to have a purified Buddhi or intellect to be spiritual, and this requires not eating meat, alcohol, smoking, gambling etc etc. Eating meat indicates a lack of compassion or connection with the animal but it also introduces heavy animal vibrations into the bodies. These vibrations have to be purified, usually by spiritual practices. To achieve enlightenment through K, one has to purify and consciously and one-pointedly, make a 'spiritual' effort as opposed to an experiential pastime.
