Activating your Vijanana - The Organ of Spiritual Awakening Part 1

a reply to: DayAfterTomorrow

Very informative post. I've been following you for a while. I think we agree on just about everything except the nature of YHWH.

Extra perception exists. But on this level they can be a curse instead of a blessing. Took me days of preparation to once be able to hear on certain frequencies. It was an eye opener.

the Jiva overcomes this limitation, he becomes aware of his true self (Atman) and finds unity with Brahman, attaining liberation (freedom from the old self). This cannot be accomplished apart from reflecting (abhasa) the virtue of Love and Compassion for others (Absolute requires all relatives

The whole op was working up to that... Which says nothing new and doesn't actually explain what to do with it or how to undertake it. The rest is in my opinion, fluff- interesting and informative fluff, granted, but fluff all the same.

I saw you explain some cool stuff, saw you give definitions, even high light an example like the bit I quoted. But what I didn't see was how to awaken the spiritual organ you mention in the title.

I’ve studied much of this great tradition Yoga and the one teacher that resonates with me is the Great Pantanjali the author of the Yoga Sutras

He is known as the father of modern yoga. He did not invent yoga. Yoga was already there in various forms, which he assimilated into a system. Shiva, the Adiyogi or first yogi, transmitted yoga to the Sapta Rishis or the seven sages many thousands of years ago. He had the highest understanding of human nature, but he didn’t put anything down in writing. He was too wild to be a scholar. He found it was too difficult to put everything he knew into one person, so he chose seven people and put different aspects of yoga into them. These became the seven basic forms of yoga. Even today, though these have branched off into hundreds of systems, yoga has still maintained seven distinct forms.Text

Well, space and attention span is part of my overall plan. I plan to outline this in more parts over the next week. I'll get to this part, but I need to make sure the average reader can go to my threads in sequence. Rest assured, it's coming.

The hard part is describing a realization requiring more than words. It won't stop me from trying.

I love how you tie together both eastern and western religious philosophies. The truth is the same thing. God is certainty as you say in part 2.

Once you fully realize this your problems are over i theorize. I say " i theorize" because i am currently struggling with this but have had little snippets of imagining a state where god is certainty and i think this is enlightenment.

I'm sorry, but I got nearly 3/4 of the way down through the first paragraph and was laughing hysterically! Omg, that word.

Sorry, I'll continue now.
