Video Description: He started talking people asking about purpose of going within and discovering different level of consciousness. What is the benefit of doing spiritual practice to our life living here? His reply- meditation is not just good for internal development its excellent for physical body- it improves quality of life and emotional health. It solves physical problems of the body. If factor of doubt and fear are gone then that’s a game changer.
We are not the mind its just a machine. Most illness today are mental that mind create over the body. If our mind is under control and take fear and doubt out it changes our health and state of living completely. Mind which is a thinking machine functions day and night just like heart…it never stops. If mind stops everything dies. He talked a goofy story with about hos colleague at Harvard that claimed one can make mind stop thinking. Mind thinks in language (words), images and sounds. We have five sense of perception.
Mind thinks to provide life and to provide us concept of time and space.
He talked about Dalai Lama and his meeting with him and he used to compare meditation notes with him. He had a technique to control mind while meditation by making all mind noise join the mantra. Mind is just a machine to help us realize live this life. Mind also likes breaking things apart (analytical faculty) it by doing so loses the entire picture. It has no ability to see the grand picture. It uses time and space to break things ๐ These two scissors (time and space) does not ever let us see the whole picture.
Pure consciousness can see entire thing is zero second. PLM respond to someone who is ready to leave a PLM WILL come into one’s life not by seeking but by coincidence. They take us above the mind, the analytical power of mind creates doubt as we cannot see the whole thing. The doubt is a function of mind. Fear follows doubt. Mind is a great instrument to help us. The self has always been a listener where as mind is a speaker. WE don’t use power of self to make mind to think. Meditation with guidance of PLM helps in a great way. We try to change things, run after worldy things. If we stop chasing they will start chasing us! A real good mediation under direction of a PLM is our attention is limited up on self. If our meditation is up on our REAL self…everything comes to us. What we were chasing comes to us. He shared an experience on meeting a Bollywood director.
He talked about knowledge of who we are not easy to obtain because we have hidden our-self from so many covers with physical body itself is a cover. We cannot think anything beyond the outside cover. We are wearing a body for short time and inside we re immortal people sitting inside but unaware of it. We can find out that we are not body before dying! The simplest way to find is pretend you are dead! He explains person dying in stages. We are living in our head where we are spreading out experience of life in rest of the body.
If we place all our ATTENTION (which is the MOST powerful instrument in our awareness!) as where we place our attention makes all the difference. It has a choice making ability. Its a power we can concentrate our-self on one point and make others almost disappear.
We find out we are never the body. Withdraw our attention behind the eyes in center of the head. That area is called single point of consciousnesses/ 10th door/ 3rd eye center etc. We are not used to process of withdrawing of attention but focusing of attention. He spoke about Akashic records on how we can find out about our previous lives. Mind projects attention out for an experience. With Master you are asked to withdraw attention inwards! The method PLM teach is at least beside power of attention…the power of imagination. It can be used with coupled with attention to help in withdrawal inside. Imagine body is a house with several floors.
Withdrawal of attention is opposite of focusing of attention.
We discover that the body we have non-physical has all the sense perception we use in the physical body. Our inner body helps us obtaining sensory perception in the physical body. Inner eyes are much sharper…always better than 20-20, power of hearing is much better. Our pristine sensory perception opens up. After that experience there is no doubt in our mind this physical body is a temporary body. Typical life of astral body is 1000-2000 physical years.
That experience of experiencing we are the cause of sensory perception is a great experience that body is called causal body. We can do it right now to find out self before dying. Number of PLM is so few that takes us beyond casual plane. They can be counted on fingers of our hands. Our real self is immortal, PLM takes us within where no time and space exists but we exist there!
All action depends on mind except 3 functions- intuition, Love and beauty. They are function of the soul and are immortal. They are spiritual functions. We can see those functions in full action above the creator of the universe i.e par-brahm. PLM comes to take us to that state and beyond. We are still individuated soul but we belong higher than that where we merge into totality of consciousness where many and one are the same. Its from there all action originates from. Spiritual journey is discovering where and who you are!
One in 8.5 million forms of life has ability to go within and find the truth. Reason for this is that the mind, consciousness works in human body alone allows us to have the unique experience of freewill which is not available anywhere else. Trees, angels etc have no freewill only human beings ignorant of the future has experience of freewill; its referred to as the freewill of ignorance.
Value of the experience of freewill is that it gives us internal experience of seeking. Hence say goes...seek and you will find!
Everything is pre-determined but there is a catch to it. Who predetermined it? Someone else did…when we reach final stage that what looked like unreal freewill was indeed freewill because it was freely exercised at a different level of consciousnesses. If entire thing is timeless but we have created events that can be placed in time and now we want to see in time…we create mind and mind spreads it out to past, present and future. We don’t realise there is no ‘now’. What makes it feel we have real present, past and future. Present is name we give to immediate past. What is actually the past? What can we do with past- we can remember, recall it…only MEMORY can create past.
Time is not real its only a function of MEMORY.
Therefore, what we call present and past is a function of memory! So what’s future? If we remove the following three words from the dictionary there will be no ‘future’- Hope (positive), Fear (negative) and Anticipation (neutral). When we hope it takes time, fear it takes time…therefore its all past! Therefore, everything is a function of memory. Memory only stored in the mind which creates our story here. Where do we store it? On spiritual path- we will discover entire show was created above the mind. A key to our solution is a PLM ๐ He talked about all destinies being made up in the Causal Plane….all ‘DVDs’ are stacked there and we deliberately picked up one. We created a great principal of karma (cause and effect). Above casual plane there is no karma. In the ‘DVD’ we picked up has past lives with karma! Each life has present, future and past lives…infinite lives. Effort and Grace were same thing as when we make an effort we could have not done so without Grace โค
When we try to combine statements about two different levels of consciousness, we WILL make contradictory statements but on same level we don't.
Whole of creation is lying somewhere between no space and time. Its sitting in timelessness!!! ๐ The definition of reality is corroborating with others whether they see the same thing. Why didn’t the one consciousness enjoy itself and had to create many…its to great way to create reality. A transfer perceiving consciousnesses. The only way to know which is the cause and effect is to go beyond this plane of reference beyond this state. Truth is when we prepare a script for drama actor have to stay with the script (to be good actors!). They must act according to script and as if it is real. He then referred to movie Gandhi, where Ben Kingsley embedded himself into the character to Gandhi to feel he is Gandhi.
The video ends with Baba Ji looking straight at us โค
