Video Description: He welcome to the, perhaps the very FIRST, monthly meeting for ISHA. He said his voice was horesy today and didn’t want to give cold to anybody…and said he would much better give something better rather than cold 🙂 Physical world consists of matter an energy and we look at creation outside of the atoms, molecules and basic nature of energy, space and time…we spend so much time staying this little realizing what we are doing is no different from sleep at night, dream and start measuring what things are in the dream and what is composed of. Laws of physics. When can one know examining a dream if studying a dream in detail…wake up we feel sorry for our-self. Principle of all creation and experience is principle of consciousness can be conscious of anything…are reality is for all levels of consciousness…for pure consciousness what name can we give to a power that is creative and experience what it creates and can do both things simultaneously! What word can describe that amazing power?

Consciousness is being used as a word to equivalent to awareness…where as awareness is a small part of Consciousness…Consciousness is the creative power awareness is not..therefore when we try to find a word to describe consciousness we fail…what do we do…we use the word…WORD…In the Beginning was the Word…And the word was with God and the word was God.

6min- He talked about Bible and Rigveda stating the same message about the Word. The mystics found consciousness operates as creative and experiencing power that Consciousness can be heard…can be listened to…that’s an amazing thing. If its audible that gives us most wonderful way to know who we are…means our highest self possible we can listen to it to discover who we really are. 9min- He emphasized the value of ATTENTION! Its the most valuable gift we have…the power of attention can be placed wherever we like. Consciousness is operating from the head of a human being. If we close our eyes to determine where we are….we are behind the eyes…that point is very significant where consciousness is operating now in this physical body. It solves problem of mind questioning and intellectual problems. That point is almost between the eyes and little behind physical eyes…that point is called…in many literature its called “THE POINT” or the 3rd eye center…center of consciousness..we are all talking of the same thing. All the power to create outside world…all the power feeling of soul…all that power is with us behind the eyes in a single point…that’s amazing…more amazing is we can access it by listening to it!

14min- Listening is NOT hearing (which is by outside ears). Hearing with these external ears listening is by Consciousness. It has ability to be conscious of anything it wants to be…and anywhere we like…

The whole spiritual path can be condensed into the single statement that put your attention and make it listen to consciousness behind the eyes, period.

16min- Somebody sent him a nice picture of a globe and wrote…we are not drop in the ocean we are whole of the ocean in a drop…he liked it ❤ The truth is we are not being or a separated soul…we have the truth, creation everywhere and enclosed all that in one little spot behind our eyes. Outside its only the experience…the power of consciousness is conscious of experience we create…series of experiences very interesting beautiful. He used example of a tree’s presence outside being imagination or reality. Our reality has been defined by no other way but by consistency of the experience…because we see same thing at same place and cannot change it must be real…and we forget same thing happen in the dream..we don’t change things in dream either and yet we know its not real. He talked about drinking water from a cup as an example to understand what is real and what is not. The big catch is because we could see a cup…and touch it up…and taste water…and had experience of these….because I had REAL experience…therefore we jumped to the conclusions because of this…the water and cup must be real. This ability to JUMP to the conclusions because experience is real the articles and materials of that thing must be real has led us to be duped by the illusion of creation. This is described in great details in Indian scripture where world is maya/ illusion is being created to experience it not as illusion but as reality.

22min- He talked about a famous Indian dancer who was baffled by what is reality and illusion. Maya means an experience which makes us believe that the things of experience are real….it doesn’t question experience is ALWAYS real. All experiences are real we cannot deny but to jump to conclusions what is causing the experience outside of our self consist of material, astral or casual things is the maya/ illusion. We also created our self as physical body as physical characters…its a show we have placed ourselves in physical body as a character and sitting right on the stage. Therefore, it becomes difficult for us to distinguish between experience we are having and reality of external material things. Experience is always real created by consciousness but it also creates illusion on top of that experience of reality experiences is arising from something else. Experience always arises from the consciousness nowhere else. We give the source of experience outside is what is maya.

25min- How can we say experience occur prior to what we experience? He used an example of paper he was handling to explain this. He talked about idealists and materialists…materialists say world has to come into existence by some means and have possibility of experiencing it by being in this world…they say do not question the absolute existence of this world. The idealists say…no…world is coming from inside…one of the greatest idealists was Socrates and Plato. Socrates say world of idea preexists world of matter. He used an example of a chair…without an idea of a chair…no chair could have been made. Therefore, the world of ideas always proceeded world of matter…without ideas we cannot create anything. The ideas are picked up from the Astral plane which were picked up the concepts from the causal plane. There is a big catch in this…what is an idea of a chair? It is one idea…we can make million of chairs from that one idea. These are like seeds that grow into big plants, trees and forests. According to mystics and philosophers w have been creating in these 3 world employing power of consciousness making things. He talked about creation of space and time before we can make anything. The creation of space and time has to precede everything else. Physical, sensory or causal space has to be created before any of these have to function. Space and time are originators of all this experiences.

33min- He talked about his iPhone using it as flash-light…it lights up and under that there is a quotation about light…a new quotation…try to find God…with your logic…with your mental logic..is to search for sun with a lamp of yours…therefore logic has great limitations because it has been created after space and time. The process of thinking vital to the mind making it alive…cannot operate without time and space. We can be without space and time…thinking needs it. Therefore, these creations have taken place in a very orderly way and there is a proof…proof is go within the point of consciousness behind the eyes to find all out. These 3 worlds of creation are all created by the mind…the mind is a delegated authority of the consciousness. We have a great computer…the greatest computer…most efficient we can ever find its free and called the human mind…it computes…it needs consciousness to be alive. The mind began to function and began to do duties and create and space and time and within that realm and creating all material, sensory and casual concepts in these 3 worlds, respectively.

The definition of infinity is not that it has no end…but as far as we like to go and we can still go more.

38min- Mind was the best gift given to us. Einstein said space and time cannot be operated they are one continuum. We do not place any objects but events. No object can exist without time. Its not an object but an event. How to create an event we must have a cause for the event…beautiful…and must have an effect and that effect is called an event. Event of our birth and death and put as many events as we like. This rule is called law of karma. In order to understand time and space we have to figure out whether time and space is same everywhere or different. Einstein said time flows differently at every point in space/ universe. He talked about Boston planetarium and had a show where they show twin brothers one stay on the ground and other take a fast shuttle almost velocity of light…both at communication. He talked about atomic clock (43min). Time is a good indicator of the level of our consciousness. He talked about understanding how time flows. In events of the physical world we cannot push time either way. He talked about how in ‘good time’ time flies by. Our objective time is so different from subjective time…but we cannot stop this time. He talked about game ‘freeze’. At next higher level of consciousness (astral plane) there is still time and space but we have the power by attention to hold that time wherever we like.

48min- What we end up in causal level…we open that up new sky…its beautiful golden sky…time and space still there but we come to know time and space are merely static laid out events…we in our mind invented events and placed them statically in time and space and we move with attention which makes it look events are happening one after the other. There we can look at our old past lives…this capacity to know how astral and physical life is avaiable right inside out ‘dot’ in our physical body. Its amazing this wealth of experience is lying within us and part of creation by consciousness. These PLM talk from their experience they tell us…do not believe what anyone says go within and check it out. Its an experiential path and not path of belief.

There is no scope for blind faith on spiritual path.

52min- The experiencer is our self that is why we want to have God realisation we need to have self-realization..totality of self is where we will find is the ultimate creator…we have to cross 3 worlds created by our mind..all our mental worlds. The only thing we can do is to bring down that cannot be explained in words and make it story like so mind can process like a possibility…but Baba Ji confirmed these are just stories for something that has no space and time…how can we describe them beyond description that mind can appreciate and see…if it goes beyond only way to describe is ‘it is not this’. What happened if we go above the mind…we can do so…something must be more fundamental to consciousness than the mind…the mind does not have certain experiences which soul can have without the mind. Those experiences don’t require time and space. The most wonderful experience of consciousness of soul is the experience of LOVE. Love is a function of soul and still there even if mind is not there. Intuitive knowledge is also a function of soul and not mind. Experience of beauty and joy is experience of soul not mind. At least we know there are somethings happening to us where which are not being experienced by mind or body but directly by the soul. The process of using the attention and withdrawing it from one level of experience to our own self to within…it opens up the next level…above the mind…where we can see and experience we are units of light…consciousness is being experienced as light (just a story…a good story…) each soul going beyond the mind is shining with so much light that to understand it its magnitude which we can put 16 solar suns together…the illumination of normal light from a single soul. The illumination is of the awareness. Self-realization is that first step. Yet there is a area of very maha-maya (grandest of illusions) is beyond all illusions…we are individuated souls…we are not…we are Totality…the experience of individuated souls is the grandest of illusions..but with help of someone beyond that individualized soul can help us realise it.

1hr- He talked about Sadhguru took us to soul levels but other mystic who say we are the totality/ true home where we find there is only one consciousness where the show took place…where is that…that’s where we are. He said all humans have the capacity to go within to find the truth. He talked about withdrawing attention from an external experience to the internal experience of the experience maker (consciousness). We proceed to withdraw attention by placing our attention inside right now as we sit here…the seed of our consciousness is there..by attention is being focus outside as we got used to paying attention outside we have scattered our attention and concentrate it anywhere. We lost the capacity of withdraw attention or distinction between focusing and withdrawing attention. When we focus attention we are moving away from our self because things we focus are not our self. He talked about focusing attention on heart center…out of body experience…so what…you haven’t found yourself but only found another experience. We need to place attention on our self…it is referred to as withdrawal of attention…we don’t practice that!

1hr9min- The withdrawal of attention is secret of discovering our-self needs practice and that takes time. The practitioners, mystics experts at meditation tell us its not easy…its simple but not easy to put attention on our self as we always do so away from us. By closing our eyes and feeling being at that point behind the eyes…we can look at that point…that is not you…we cannot look at ourselves…if we IMAGINE and feel we are there one that was looking was ourselves if that is at the center…that is YOU! We need to approach that to point but takes times…once we reach there…consciousness itself becomes such a strong experience it is audible…we are caught by the power of self which can pull us to higher experience. It is a remarkable ability of humans to know secret of all creation where we belong while we are here. consciousness needs to be conscious of something. The experiences of duality, pairs of opposites are finest of experience of our sense perception..the are most suited to experience for pair of opposites…experience light needs darkness. Imagine a certain amount of light is always there nobody would have seen it as nothing to compare with. The fundamental principle is based on pair of the opposites. He talked about anti-matter (1hr 13min) which exists simply because of the law of opposites! We have 3 worlds with huge duality experiences and that whole experience becomes an opposites of realm beyond time and space. The entire secret of all creation (who we are etc.) is inside us. The spiritual path is not for everyone…if we having a good time in this creation go ahead and enjoy…if we are fed up then we are ready for the spiritual path…

it is for somebody who thinks I have to go home this is a precursor to spiritual journey.

If we have all good stuff we won;t be here but in one of the heavens in the astral plane. Congratulations for mixing up good and bad karma!
