Mind……….Continuation

  From a very long time now man has used the incantation as a tool of choice for shaman healing, magic practice, tribal exaltation, religious prayer, etc. You find this primitive practice since the early stages of mankind, all the way to the present day.
If you look carefully into the very core of these incantations you will see nothing else but a very crude method to influence the mind into accomplishing a certain "magic" goal.

  Any incantation has some chanting words (which are repeated continuously for a certain amount of time), a short period of meditative silence, and a final trance in which the goal suppose to be accomplished. And usually the goal was - and still is - accomplished.
You can easily discover here the three stages of Samyama (Concentration, Meditation and Samadhi) -- at a very limited and primitive level of efficiency -- as a collective practice of using the mind in order to influence the living, the becoming of man.

  As you can see, the power of the mind has been noticed by man long before Yoga came along with its advanced mind harnessing techniques. The Bible has the Babel Tower story, which says God scrambled man's single language at the time into very many languages in order to puzzle man's mind and make all mankind weak. Why would God do such a thing? I let you answer this!
Even in the land of Science, the mind plays a major role in accomplishing tasks otherwise impossible to be accomplished.

But the scientists are considering the mind as a tool at the disposal of the physical body. A very different approach from Yoga's. What they don't know is that by their mind concentration in their scientific work, they are actually turning themselves into yogis. That's why many high end scientists are starting to study and practice Yoga lately. And some few among those actually turned yogis for good.

  These two totally opposite approaches are making the work of anyone trying to go along with Yoga very difficult indeed, because after so many years of going in one direction of thinking, you have to change gears into a total opposite one. That is why is so hard to believe in Yoga, particularly when you reach a certain age, when your thinking is well established and your mind has stopped to be so flexible.

People living in daily routine are not made for Yoga!

Only some few can make this adjustment, and usually they are the ones who are going to the end with Yoga practicing.

If you are among the few, just do IT! If you are not, just don't!

This is my honest advise after so many years with Yoga. A struggle is good as long as IT brings some good results.

A long struggle can't have good results because is missing the happiness. So for the few of you out there I am writing these lines along.

[[[

  When you make the switch from a scientist to a Yoga practitioner, you will notice little by little a new you. IT is coming out slowly, but is getting more strength every day. People will notice that also. You will hear them telling you that you've changed. This is a very good sign of your progress. You will feel more confident by day, and a feeling of pride will start flourishing inside you. Put it aside, because it will grow on you if you don't, thinking of you as special. Many Indian gurus all across the world are suffering of this self-infatuation, selling cheap dogma for money in return. Don't you ever fall for such cheap godlike displays!

  The more in depth you go with your practice, the more in control of the mind you should be. This is the thumb rule when you start mingling at those levels. A little fear is understandable, but don't turn paranoiac. In short, you have to have a perfect balance between what you have accomplished, and what IT lays ahead. You have to be a high class artist because living is a harmony at all levels.

  The progress is going in two directions, down toward the Abyss, and up toward the Bliss. One makes you cry, the other whips your tears away! You should always stay in the middle.............totally detached from the good and evil!
When the Siddhis are coming, you have to treat them as enemies of your farther progress. If use them, do IT only for a noble purpose, or for a desperate need. Never abuse them, because they will turn against you. You have to remember also, when you have a power, you have also the obstacle in front of it, and this creates struggle, if not harmonized. You better keep this in mind all the time! A Tachy Yogi has to have the tachy-vision of............the power and the obstacle are coming from the same...........for the good of all living to be!

  The struggle will be then still present! But IT will be a different kind of struggle. A very light one!
The more you advance into the higher realms of mind, the less intense struggle you will have.
Be aware though of the falling backs and stuck ups! As I've said previously, the inside pride makes you feel like a God, and this will cause the fall. The taller you get, the harder the fall will be. You have to be a real artist indeed!

  Another danger is when you enjoy a certain acquired status so much that you get stuck into it for the sake of your own enjoyment.

All low end yogis fall into this trap. As you can see, IT is a lot harder than the social life you just left behind. But as you can see also, is not hard "per se", but rather an enjoyable adventure with a lot more spank than the one on Earth. That's because you are not dying in the world of the new discovered mind. This is the major difference, which explains why the real yogis are so "dead" for the outside world, and so alive for the one they have just discovered.

To believe what I am saying here you have to be there first...........enjoying the view!

[[[

  The Egyptians and the Tibetans have a book, "the Book of the Dead", to guide the dead into the world beyond the living. The Tibetans have even a word for this after life land: Bardo. The way they describe this Bardo land is quite scary, with all kind of gods ready to play nasty with your poor soul. You have no power and they have plenty. That is why the Tibetan priests are making all kind of incantations at the bed of the one departed in order to dispel the evil the one dead suppose to encounter, and to guide him in his new journey. You can see again the old form of incantation used here as a primitive form of mind alteration through the ripple effect applied on the Cosmic Mind.

  But how efficient IT is?
In order to answer this question you have to remind (you see the loop?) yourself what T/Y says about the human mind as being immersed into the Cosmic Mind (Citta as part of Chitt). The Cosmic Mind is like an infinite ocean who feels any ripple on ITs surface.

Having this perspective as a view, sure, any incantation is efficient. The drawback of this method is that makes a hierarchy where is none, segregating the one and only mind in infinite many. The Tibetan priests, similar to other clerics, are making a hierarchy of minds, powers, and gods out of their own beliefs. Even one of the most prominent yogi, Sri Aurobindo, is creating a hierarchy of minds by separating the mind in conscious, unconscious, subconscious, superconscious, etc. At list he is making them all accessible to man by yoga practice.

But still, such visions are all faulty!

  When your mind is still, with no movements, there will be no ripples on the surface of the ocean, therefore IT will be no mind of any kind. When this happens, the duality disappears, and the ONE and only reigns as IT. Have no fear IT is here!.........and everywhere else as well! This is the way you should always look at the mindscape world of Maya. Nothing but a nice illusion, with good and bad together playing the living - the T/S play of Duality and S/O separation. This is what T/Y is telling you to remember - Dead or Alive!

  IT is only one mind in the universe, all "others" are just reflections of the same one. That is why everybody is the son of god, as Jesus said IT. The salvation is for everyone under the Being spell. You think, you are, therefore you are entitle to have the power to be redeemed. This is the approach T/Y is having about the Mind and the Mindscape Living. IT is very important to keep this as a banner in front of your eyes, and when "other" mind -- proclaiming to be more powerful than yours -- shows up, just look at the banner and dispel the "evil" mind, the same way Jesus dispelled the evil with just a gesture of his stilled mind.

When the mind is still, the duality (T/S living) has no meaning, just the Union (Yoga) prevails!

[[[

  When you start exercising the mind in T/Y practice you start with the first part of Samyama, which is Dharana (Concentration).

Here you have a mental fixation on the object the mind is focusing upon. You actually channel the mind in one single direction, eliminating the shattering produced by multi-directional thinking - based on a S/O separation (objectivity). This is asking for some effort, and the old incantation technique might help in the beginning. Using mental mantras is a good approach then at this stage! Not the idiotic incantation of shamanic type, but an inside repetition of an word for example. You repeat the word inside your mind (like talking to yourself from the inside), until the word stops in front of your Ajna chakra like a banner. You can actually see the word between your eyes, stopped, in spite of the fact that your eyes are closed. When this happens, you are through with Dharana.
 

  The second stage of Samyama is called Dhyana (Meditation). Here the object you are focusing upon starts to open up to your mind so that you are able to actually know everything about that particular object. Dhyana comes without any effort from your part, being just a reward of your precedent effort. You can actually go so far that you actually identify with the object you focus upon.

  The third stage of Samyama is Samadhi (Ecstasy). Here you go from the identification with the object you focus upon to the realization of the unity that is behind any object in existence. Here you identify yourself with the Supreme Self, witnessing the entire Existence.

Samadhi has many "doors" to open, so I let you open the ones you are entitle to. Here you are at the core of Creation, and the Light can be bright or dim accordingly. According with what exactly, you may ask? According with your seed!

When the seed is no more, no more will BE!
JUST IT!

[[[

  So what is the real mastering of the individual mind?
In order to answer this question you have to be first in the position of a Cosmic Being. As T/Y is saying, this is happening when you have accomplished the first stage of Retrogenesis, which is harmonizing dualities. Then, and only then, you realize the existence of the Cosmic Consciousness, and you expand your ego-centric mind to the Infinite Mind IT is. You will be able then to penetrate the real meaning of Being (of Living) as a blissful feeling of expansive nature. This feeling is Omniscient!

  Your human happiness turns into Bliss, and you be-come omniscient. All the truth about All that IT is starts flowing into you like you are a God of all Existence. Everything comes to you to be considered! Be aware of the danger of infatuation when you are at this level!

You better stay witnessing without considering anything as yours, otherwise you get possessed by the objects of your own desires.
Here you are not a person, and you are not God either, you are just witnessing. In short, the possessive self has no meaning here.

  In order for this to happen you have to accomplish the second stage of Retrogenesis, which is unifying the S/O separation.

Only then your possessive self will vanish for ever. You won't be a Self anymore, but.............All that IT is Seeing.
Short of doing this is ground for a fall back into the human cocoon!

  Finally, when you are holding steady the above status, you are ready for the next stage, that of ITSelf, which is the last halt before being no more. You finally discover the secret of Witnessing, of Being, and when you accomplish this the "I" be-comes no more.............just IT.

This is the end of treachery, and the beginning of Infinite Continuity. That's the Void, where Trinogen dwells!

IT is no Self, no Energy, no Obstacle, no Duality..........just IT..........the origin!

[[[

  As you can see, the main difficulty in T/Y or any Yoga accomplishments is to sustain a "status quo" long enough in order to avoid the fall back. And the fall back is always in the old human status! It is actually a self inflicted fall back due to your weakness in relation with the task. That is why you see so many yogis nowadays still around in the human cocoon. All these "gurus" and such who are mushrooming all around the world are such ones. They are all working hard in their sadhana, but they are too weak for the task.
This is because the mind is so unstable and can play tricks on you in the most unexpected way and time. A little old memory, an erratic thought, a small feeling is enough to make you fall back. And at the core of any of these is nothing else but the old human desire.

You better remember this if you want to stay afloat!

  So in order to master your mind you better master first your desires, because, as T/Y says, the mind goes in circles of heart desires in order to accomplish happiness. To be able to do this you have to get out of the social circle of humanity. The desert, the forest, the mountains, are the places of preference.
  But the real masters don't need any of those. Be sure! they exists, all unknown (as they should be), staying outside of the human living but inside of the being still, just to invisibly help some few. They are all the Boddhisattva of Compassion, roaming in the Being to help all yogis to be like them. That's why as a human you will never ever see or meet such a one. Just a real yogi knows of them!
As I've said in T/Y, the help is there in abundance, a yogi has just to ask for IT!

[[[

  In the old times the meanings of Yoga teachings were revealed in secluded places like monasteries, ashrams, etc., by Yoga teachers (gurus). Without them the esoteric meaning would have been impossible to understand. IT was a well kept secret! The things have changed since. We have gurus today in any inconceivable places on Earth, each one having his own personal "mindscape" how to practice Yoga. But one thing IT is still present today as IT was then: the esoteric (encrypted) meaning. This is not similar to nowadays encryption, which is done in purpose in order to hide some sensitive materials from public eyes. It is actually the opposite. They are encrypted by the ignorance of the readers in relation with their own accomplishments. In short, the readers are not up to the level to comprehend them.

  You probably remember what I've said in T/Y book about the several meanings all Old Tradition texts, as well as T/Y book have.

Do you remember knowing and be-coming as One? Only when you be-come your accomplishment (know-ing-er) the encryption for that particular accomplishment unlocks. You unfold and you be-come as one single unit! Short of this you are not deserving IT!
This is because in Yoga you are working with yourself, therefore, any accomplishment is in fact your own be-coming (transformation).

Don't you forget this!

  The meanings exposed in all above pages are encrypted then only for those who did not accomplish the knowing/be-coming allowing them to be on that particular level/stage. The encryption will unlock when they are there. And as always in this case, the encryption is in your mind! You should just expand your mind to the level where the key is. IT is funny how similar to a computer game this is. Have fun then trying to accomplish as much as you can! Wishing you luck to unlock would be fair enough!

[[[

  The thing is, the individual mind is meant to serve well just one and only type of individual is associated with by nature.

Our mind is "human", therefore is meant to serve humans like us. Trying to go above the human condition using the human mind won't do. You have to use a new device, which is not of a human nature. That is why there is no continuation between the human mind and the "knowinger" mind, as I've mention in the T/Y book. The Mind is still just One, but the ones ignorant of this aeonic truth are very many.
The first "knows" by processing/objectivity (a S/O relationship), the second "identifies" with All that IT is through the Cosmic Mind.

They are totally incompatible!

  So the only mastering of the human mind is to turn IT silent (off)............and that's CittaVrittiNirodhah (CVN)!
You do this by practicing Samyama. Only in the last stage of Samyama, which is Samadhi, you can reach the level where you be-come a knowinger (one who identifies the minds). A knowinger doesn't have a human mind, but a universal one. IT is still a mirror, but a multi-dimensional one.............one that sees the Union - inside the multitude present in you, as well as the one perceived as outside of you. In short, such a one sees the continuous Flow of Being!

  When you get back into the human cocoon you fall back into the S/O relationship again, don't expect then to describe or to understand the experience you have had in Samadhi. That's why such an experience can't be ever explained to a scientist, and no scientific experiment will bring any light in this matter ever. Those are human's short comings, not Yoga's!

  We all have the choice of getting beyond our human condition by practicing the works of what people before us did with their being.

IT is good to know this, because.............any man can do what other men already did!
After all, IT is you being, do what is best for IT!
