Ego’ means the loss of one’s original consciousness of being eternal and individual, which is an illusion because in reality we are always parts of the Whole. Ego don´t see itself as part of a larger consciousness, but creates separation to survive. Ego is duality, duality is mass consciousness, and mass consciousness is The Matrix of the MInd. When you observe in present-time, the veil of the matrix is neutralized, allowing observation from the Higher Mind. It’s here where this partition or veil is dismantled and reconstructed into its originally intended function: to open your awareness of the multidimensional consciousness from where you have come.
Ego survives solely through attachment, like a virus, which cannot function independently from its host cell. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that the ego has no life of its own. It is an illusion which keeps perpetuating itself through attachment to the individual and, by its various methods, tricking the individual into believing that he or she is the ego. When attached to the ego, the individual doesn’t “see” the ego. The ego has become invisible because the individual believes the ego is what he or she is and therefore, there is no experience of consciousness as separate from ego-mind. The attachment is complete. When attention is turned inward, the process has begun which will eventually result in the individual “seeing” the ego and finding its true Self.
The ego attach itself to the identification with the body and mass consciousness. The ego is not indenpendently because it needs both the body and mass consciousness to survive, and it needs low vibrational frequencies of negativity and fear to survive. The ego can´t exist in higher level of consciousness or vibrations without being dissolved, so it must create a constant enviroment that promotes negativity and fear programming (media). Alienation is a result when the ego creates separation from the real divine being. The ego attach to humans through body identification, psychology of entanglement, imitating and mimicking, through negative fear programming, through emotions and thoughts, and by social engineering (gmo, nanotechnology, chemtrails) and programming in media, and other methods is percecution and stalking, using noise harassment and sound frequency weapons as syntethic telepathy or voice to skull technology to occupy or bombarding the mind, and entangle the mind and prevent it from expanding in consciousness and awareness.
The ego needs these belief systems and concepts to survive or exist;
- Need the five senses (disconnect the sixth sense)
- Think you are the body
- Needs to be attched to mass consciousness
- Needs time scale of past and future
- Needs state of duality (to create separation)
- Needs to create a negative emotions and thoughts to control
- Needs stimulate fear to keep humankind attached /tuned into a low vibrational energy enviroment
- Needs negativity and fear to feed the matrix and keep humankind tuned into low vibrational frequencies
- Needs keep humankind attached to the veil of ignorance (darkness)
- Needs feed the ego mentality and become attached to fear of death
- Needs to feed the ego-desire consciousness to make it attached and desire materialism
- Needs to be attached mass consciousness, mass media, and mass technology (the matrix)
The ego has become the “God” of the collective awareness among energy systems within the mass of collective energy. The dividing factor of separation from spiritual energy and God’s energy was when the ego entered and took over the unconsciousness of the energy system. As long as the ego remains in control of the energy system, the truth of knowing God is inhibited. Spiritual energy and God’s energy must converge to allow total connection to the higher levels of consciousness. The ego suppresses spirituality and God’s energy, thereby, disconnecting the energy system from believing in anything greater than itself.
Falling into duality means going against the divine harmony of the Whole. Just as opposing the light creates shadows, opposing God creates the ego. ‘Ego’ means the loss of one’s original consciousness of being eternal and individual, which is an illusion because in reality we are always parts of the Whole. This opposition is an act of free will because it is neither forced nor necessary.
Under the influence of the ego, one’s original state of consciousness is covered and eclipsed. There is no longer the experience of eternity (timelessness, spacelessness). Consciousness is now projected into the duality of ‘past’ and ‘future’. All of a sudden, eternity and divine harmony look boring and impractical.
All of a sudden, one thinks that one has to be busy and has to become something. Why? Because one feels that one has lost something. And one starts to run and race, thinking this to be necessary! The concept of ‘having to become something’ comes out of the ego. It indicates that one has lost the consciousness of one’s original nature. In reality, ‘I am always what I am’ — the eternal indivisible part of the Whole. This is the deep meaning of the TAM consciousness’, a notion very common in modern esoterics. It is an essential truth. (Nobody speaks about an `I-BECOME consciousness’!)
Human beings on earth are exposed to various forms of a subtle-material, ethereal, electromagnetic and physical influence. All of these factors have causes and remote sources which are, directly or indirectly, dependent on conscious beings. Nothing happens by chance, neither the good nor the evil. Without manipulators the world would look quite different. If people were offered truthful, positive information and alternatives, they would certainly be very interested. If mass media were to communicate the basics of higher knowledge, a lot of people would immediately change many aspects of their lives. If they were offered a real choice, they would never have chosen the direction things are taking today.
They would have decided in favour of alternative research instead of nuclear, genetic and pharmaceutical research. Technocracy and exploitation would not be as dominant as they are today. If people were correctly informed, many would become vegetarians, and hardly anyone would support arms export, financial speculation and global centralization. And yet, these are the factors that dominate our lives in today’s civilization. Obviously it is not just the individual human being causing these things. There are external energies at work influencing man and imposing their own ideas.
However, this is the very illusion of those who have fallen into the trap of the ego. The term ‘ego’ refers to the principle that blocks the Light; the ego is created’ when beings decide to ignore the divine consciousness of their real identity as eternal parts of the Whole.
The global materialistic system can only survive within the dualistic tension of supply and demand. Stagnation is tantamount to a threat to this system. Content people are a potential danger because they might be interested in other things than mere production and consumption. Apparently, this system depends on people never finding real, inner peace! Is this the reason why the world is constantly being flooded with new needs, demands and products? At least one thing is obvious: The result is not content satisfaction but restless gratification. In order to avoid a saturation or stagnation of the turnover, consumption has to be continuously increased by the creation of new artificial needs, by new ways of propaganda, and by opening up new markets If that is no longer possible, consumption has to be expanded by yet another method, namely by increasing destruction.
When the physical became this self-contained belief system and that is what it was, a belief system within itself, so it began to lose the idea that it was connected to all other creations. It began to forget that there was no separation in the creative process. Creation as a whole is total and encompasses all that is. Everything that exists is one and you are a part of that one. The physical that you know is a part of the whole. You are one tiny little element of your state of consciousness. As you now begin to expand your awareness, you begin to expand into higher and more diverse states of consciousness.
The challenge when attempting to define consciousness is by defining it you already limit what it is because the vastness of consciousness is beyond the understanding of the analytical mind. Let’s explore the history of consciousness from its creation to today. As God or Universal Creativity became self-aware and thought, it contained all possibilities. It was pure consciousness. As that thought went forward, it created in its greatest purity and many unified fields of consciousness came into existence. Some of those unified fields have become self-aware and many have never become self-aware of their own existence. Those that have become self-aware projected outward a thought, but the moment consciousness projects a thought it believes it is the thought, and that is the beginning of limitation.
So if you are projecting the thought that you are this physical, human being, a consciousness expressing in this body that is a very limited view of consciousness. Whatever consciousness thinks it is, believes it is, that is all that it knows itself to be. If you think of consciousness in a totality of trillions upon trillions of unlimited, infinite, possible expressions but it only expresses a hundred of those, it only has a hundred thoughts of what it projects outward, it never knows that it is all the other possibilities, for it has defined itself by its own projections. That is what your consciousness continually does. That is why your creativity is also limited. Because as you project thought that is what consciousness believes itself to be and is totally unaware that it has other possibilities.
For the moment you define consciousness you have already limited its possibility. Then, when you attempt to have the unlimited creativity, you create from that limited projection because that is all consciousness believes it can be or do. Consciousness in its purest form contains every possibility. It has no limitation.
So, consciousness in its purest form has no limitation and can create things that have not yet been created in any universe as soon as it projects it outward. Now, sometimes consciousness, as it projects outward and it believes this is what it is, and hem’s a consciousness that projects and says this is what I am and then these two identities of consciousness cross paths; if there is compatibility, they unite and their creations may become broader, or there is conflict because they have a conflict of what they feel is required for their existence. And, that is how your separation and conflict comes about. So, it is all consciousness. Why is that so important? Because you race in every direction searching for a return to your totality, to your self-awareness, and yet, there is a limitation because the consciousness that projected you forward has a limited concept of what it is.
It was never intended that you would separate yourself from your knowledge, understanding and your truth of reality but somewhere in the physical existence you did this.
You began to think of physical as the Creator. The physical was the director. The physical became the dictator. You forgot you are the creator. A creation cannot exist if the creator does not exist. The creation cannot be sustained without the power of the creator. You may say, “Now, wait a minute, if something is created and it contains all the possibilities and something happens to the creator why can’t it stand alone?” It cannot stand alone simply because if something can happen to the creator then it can happen to the creation. The creation will become a creator as existence continues to expand. As a creation becomes self-aware, it becomes a creator of other creations and so the creative process will always be.
Fear and illusion are synonymous. Fear has no reality whatsoever. Fear is that component of the illusion that says you can be destroyed somehow, or you can be harm or you can experience pain which is perceived to be all very real to the ego. The large part of the illusion lies in who you believe you are. In the perceptions of many lifetimes you believe you have a physical body that can be destroyed or can be hurt. You believe that you can be controlled. You believe that you can control others. There are a lot of beliefs that you have. Now, these beliefs say that you are in danger, and so the beliefs d say you are in danger translates to fear. Fear started expressing through emotions. Now fear began to express itself emotionally in many ways as the ego reacted to its perception of its experiences. Fear reacts in the emotion of happiness.
The illusion is the ego’s limited belief of who you are. The illusion is that little tiny pie-shape of your total consciousness, when reality is the totality of who you are. If you knew your reality, you would have no reason for fear, because there would not be anything that would take place that would create the reactions that you are having in this limited state of illusion. “Fear and illusion” versus “Divine Love and Reality”. Fear expresses as an emotion, a part of the ego system, a belief system of this limited part of your knowing of your consciousness. Fear expresses as the ego belief you are separated from your soul’s
“Fear and illusion” versus “Divine Love and Reality”. Fear expresses as an emotion, a part of the ego system, a belief system of this limited part of your knowing of your consciousness. Fear expresses as the ego belief you are separated from your soul’s totality, and therefore you do not know you create your own reality, which leads to perceiving your physical existence can be harmed or destroyed. Divine Love and Reality is an awareness of the totality of who you are, and with that awareness you know you cannot be harmed or destroyed.
Humanity long ago ‘fell from grace’, or the self-aware state of your beingness, into physical survival. You have become frightened for your physical survival, the physical survival of your planet, as well as the physical survival of other species and life forms on your planet. You fear the survival of cultures and indeed, of your very own self. Because of those fears you have created social structures in the attempt to retain a degree of safety. More and more you have separated yourself from your own spiritual power and your own spiritual awareness. You have become dependent upon the illusion to provide you with what you already are, and it cannot. You believe that somehow your social structures, your defense mechanisms, all the things you believe will keep you safe will protect you and they cannot. They have no power. All they can do is keep you imprisoned within the illusion.
Spirit does not have limitation. The spirit, the God essence within you cannot align with your thoughts enough. That level of consciousness cannot align enough that you’re able to have the creations that you desire. You must go beyond the mind. What if you don’t know what going beyond the mind means and you don’t know how to get there?
A quick answer is you explain to your mind that you are safe when you meditate and there is a great benefit achieved of manifesting your desires through calming the mind and aligning your thoughts and your divine essence. As thought creates the possibility, the possibility begins to take a form, whatever that may be. This will begin to be a dominant energy pattern as it expands either through uniting with another similar creation or from you holding a very strong focused thought over and over again. That dominant energy pattern can then form its own possibilities. Humanity was a possibility in an energy pattern before we existed in physical form. Before we were physical our thoughts formed the possibility of a vibrational rate that gave something physical that would be called humanity. As the possibility begins to unite with other possibilities or other manifestations, then you begin to shift energy patterns. This is how you shift it within yourself. It’s how you’re shifting your world.
Ego is only an illusion that you believe to be true. Just as you must not give your power to the drama of the appearances, you must remember to not give your power to the appearance that your ego is projecting into your life. Always remember this projection is merely a staged form of an experience. The personality, the soul, the reality of who you are, is, always has been, and always shall be spiritual. The ego will choose pain over pleasure, because it validates its’ existence. Therefore pain attracts the ego. Without pain there is no entrapment. With the pain comes the fear, and with the fear, comes the need for the ego to run the show.
When you observe in present-time, the veil is neutralized, allowing observation from the Higher Mind. It’s here where this partition or veil is dismantled and reconstructed into its originally intended function: to open your awareness of the multidimensional consciousness from where you have come.
Focusing your consciousness multi-dimensionally is about bringing all of your consciousness to the mind, allowing the higher mind to play a part also, and to bring this into your life, as part of it. If you desire for this in your life, you will find that new pathways need to be made within the present brain, on various levels, as it is currently not totally connected to the vaster capabilities possible. This process will be like a rewiring; to enable more refined frequencies to enter into the mental etherics. Most of the brain structure is simply coded out of receiving these higher impulses, much like tuning certain channels out on a T.V. set. Then, they will be pushed back into the subconscious, and accessed through dream state, perhaps, or in meditation. The ideal, of course, is not to need to go back to access, but to be in the present all of the time as this is the vaster part of who we are, and we are here to live that, to know of all that we are, here on earth.
As a result of flawed thinking (caused by a negative programmed mindset), most people either do not have the required tools, or are not interested in obtaining the knowledge for freedom or higher. Freedom and higher consciousness require a desire to be free, effort, work, and change, all of which most people are programmed to avoid. The objective of this kind of programming is to have people lose the ability to think freely. – ‘whatever you do not use you lose.’ Many people often want or seek the benefits of freedom without paying the price. However, freedom is never free.
Another common misunderstanding to the untrained eyes is how freedom is defined. Freedom is generally defined as the opportunity to get a “good” education, a “good” job and be financially sufficient to provide for their families. The definition of true freedom is a freed mentality. A freed mentality ensures people can have all of their desires, and also be in full control of their thoughts and mind.
With mental freedom, people can learn who they are, understand the role they play in the broader scope of the universe; appreciate and value themselves, others, and the natural environment, and be much better equipped to understand how societies and organizations are structured to control the minds of the masses.
Once you are able to free yourself mentally, finding the real purpose for your existence will no longer be a challenge. Many people, regardless of how well educated they are, regrettably continue to be very narrow-minded when it comes to matters about the process and methods of achieving mental freedom. They feel this way because they are either unfamiliar with the subject, or have been programmed to reject such information as real and essential.
Thinking that mental freedom is something that can easily be attained is a colossal mistake. It requires a strong desire, clarity of thought, discipline, effort, work, courage, sacrifice, and change. Most people are just not prepared to be free -they have no control over their thoughts or their lives.
A large portion of their decisions derives from their societal programming. This fact is suppressed by the widely held view that people make decisions based on their personal choices and preferences. This view is merely a misconception. What many are ignoring either through ignorance or deliberate rejection is the fact that, the choices people make derived from their subconscious programmed condition and manipulated mentality.
You may be asking yourself, “if everyone can change his or her condition by simply changing his or her thinking, why then more people are not doing so?” The answer is, lack of knowledge that they have the power to do so, lack of motivation, or closed-mindedness due to social conditioning.
“When you control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his actions.”
When we begin to live the spiritual life , a reversal of consciousness takes place which is proof that we have entered the spiritual life. To live the spiritual life it is a reversal of consciousness that is necessary. This cannot be compared in any way with the different faculties or possibilities one has in the mental field. As a consequence of the total change and reversal of consciousness establishing a new relation of Spirit with Mind and Life and Matter. The ability to energize the spirit enables us to reverse the aging process to some degree.
The reversal represent change or movement turning consciousness inward from the outer external ego.
And as soon as one is turned towards the spiritual life and reality, one touches the Infinite, the Eternal, and there can no longer be any question of a greater or smaller num-ber of capacities or possibilities. It is the mental concep-tion of spiritual life which may say that one has more or less capacity to live spiritually, but this is not at all an ad-equate statement. What may be said is that one is more or less ready for the decisive and total reversal. In reality, it is the mental capacity to withdraw from ordinary activities and to set out in search of the spiritual life which can be measured.
The yogi learns to find God in the cave of his heart, not in mass consciousness. In fact, humans have not just “one” heart but more than one heart. The heart we are most familiar with is the anatomical heart, a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. Our second heart is the emotional heart, which is the seat of emotions and feelings. .”‘ Beyond these two hearts is the third heart, the spiritual heart. It is the center of higher consciousness, the seat of the true Self. It is also the center where spiritual seekers focus their awareness on the objects of their meditation. Discover the cave of the heart is like discover a new continent, a new level of consciousness, a inner Kingdom or Heaven, and is able to see this new spiritual content when the “ego” vanishes, and we will encounter the state of timelessness and Oneness. The ego shrouds the timelessness state (Oneness) with its own concepts of time and duality (separation).
What did the ancients know that we do not? Why are we nor always at the height of our awareness? Why at times throughout human existence did some civilizations seem to have great technologies and an inside track on infinite being? How did they know, for instance, how to create technologies for the distribution of power, for atomic pro-cesses, for utilizing harmonics to change the fabric of creation?
How did the ancients know about alchemy, such as the manufacturing of monatomic gold in the form of white powder that could be ingested, thereby introducing a conductive material into the physical body that would heighten conscious awareness?
Why was knowledge of this rite and other secrets limited to pharaohs, priests, kings, and wise men? What was hidden from the people at large? Exactly the same information that was taught to select apprentices at the mystery schools: access to higher consciousness led to altered and infinite reality. In the first part of this book, we will explore evidence of ancient times and people. What the ancients left behind was every key that we need to know about who we are and what we are capable of.
Once we have a grasp of the concepts the ancients left for us, we can learn how to apply them to this now. For instance, when do people begin to realize that the possibilities of life are much greater than they had previously imagined? Is there an impetus, a moment in time, or some vast or tiny change inside of them that flips switches of awareness? Is this an individual happening, or does it occur across the populous of the planet?
Does consciousness actually expand, or do we just reconnect with it? Does our consciousness have anything to do with our creative processes? Do we create our own realities, or do we just live in the realities that we find ourselves in? Do we have the power to change our realities as individuals or as groups? Is there a time when consciousness evolves and awareness becomes keener? If so, are we affected physically? Do our brains change in response! Does our DNA have some special coding or instruction contained within it that instigates or responds to higher awareness under certain circumstances?
Does intelligence make us more consciously aware? Does conscious awareness make us more intelligent? Are there signs of impending awareness expansion, and if so, how can we recognize them? Inherently, we are created to seek our source, to reconnect with our divinity, and yet in the current world condition, many of us feel empty, unfulfilled, even lost. We aren’t even sure of what we believe because there is so much information available to us.
We grasp at the tried and true, or we become immersed in religion, hoping that it will fulfill us, or we try every esoteric practice that comes along. Inside, we feel a need to return home, but we can’t seem to remember where home is. We want to feel emotional expansion to the depths of our being, but we have covered our emotions for so long that we aren’t even sure how emotions do feel.
We confuse our emotions with our mental perceptions and make our way rationally through our limiting thoughts. We seem to forget that we are capable of great depths of emotional maw-rience. We become unhappy, dissatisfied, and bored, succumbing to the idea that this must be all there is. How sad is that?
What if we realised that it is all simple! We can. We can find that we are everything that we seek and that everything we seek also seeks us.
What if we realized that we are capable of creating whatever reality we want, anytime, anywhere! What if we didn’t just know we could? What if we did? All chaos is ‘nothingmore than a series of simplicities that have become entangled.
Thus our term matter-consciousness is equally valid as mass-consciousness and therefore also energy-consciousness.
The masses are made up of individuals and to change the consciousness of the masses — the consciousness of the individual must alter. As we alter our consciousness and awareness, we will understand who we are, why we are here, and what part we are destined to play in creating this new age.
The ancients knew these secrets, and now you will too. The consciousness of change is a very real state of being. It is not a gimmick. We don’t have to buy anything. We already are the change! The consciousness of change is our sense beyond our five physical senses, and it is even greater than our intermittent sixth sense. The consciousness of change leaps into the universal construct as our seventh sense. Our seventh sense is infinitely aware, even though we may not be conscious of that awareness. But what if we were? What are we missing? How can we open the door to our seventh sense, so that we can take advantage of all that creation has to offer us?
Energy systems that are guided only by the ego are more likely to be engulfed into the influential power of the mass of collective energy. Ego based energy systems often perceive the world as being a terrible, negative place to live. Their perceptions create hostility and hate within them.
They project their negativity into the world, feeding the negativity within the mass of collective energy. This negativity is what positive, awakened energy systems are constantly fighting against. Positive awakened energy systems are higher conscious beings that can see past the smokescreens of the ego to get to the truth. Since the mass of collective energy is predominantly derived from the unconscious ego, awakened energy systems are considered outcasts and have to lead a life of repressed identity.
Revealing their true self causes ridicule, persecution, and never ending insults of projections of being labeled as delusional or heretics against the false reality belief system within the mass of collective energy.
The fact that a synthesized approach to integrated ascension will free you from the necessity to reincarnate upon the four lower worlds (physical, etheric, astral, mental) is true indeed. Likewise, is it true that as a fully integrated ascended being you will have vast potential both to express and to serve upon these lower worlds, and in joy you will be living out the wisdom and grace spoken of by beloved master Jesus when he told his disciples to be in the world but not of it. These worlds will become to you realms of experimentation and service rather than the enforced school of endless lessons and experience that they were before you achieved the status of the integrated and fully realized ascended master. Therefore, while remaining in incarnation as an ascended being, you will not be leaving your life behind, but expanding it to include the divine. Ascension goes hand and hand with descension. Therefore, as you bring your Earth-self unto heaven, so do you bring and anchor your heavenly self upon the Earth.
As the process moves inward, the wall between ego-consciousness and the unconscious is gradually dismantled, the deflation of the inner world is reversed, and the fullness of psychic reality becomes visible again and available to direct experience. This activation of the unconscious expresses itself at first in the form of psychic dissociation, as the emergence of a multiplicity of complexes, often frightening to the ego,and of part-personalities, images, and instincts. The deflation of the inner world, which was so important to the development and self-confidence of the ego, is now suspended, and, as a result, ego-consciousness can easily become deflated instead.
Those for whom these collective problems have become a personal problem, and a problem of consciousness, are the vanguard of the collective, no matter whether the overwhelming situation seized them as a result of crisis or of illness. They make the journey into the unconscious in the same way that, centuries ago, seafarers journeyed over the earth’s oceans to discover new continents.
What happens when this “ego” which degrades our being — divine in its essence — disappears?
When the “ego” vanishes, we will encounter the state of timelessness and Oneness.
With its disappearance, the fragmentary energies and characteristics which sustain its fictitious structure will also disappear. As the “ego” vanishes, we will encounter the state of timelessness; we will function as Oneness, in perfect order and harmony. From that moment on, every-thing Life brings in our path is solved in perfect simplicity. Therefore, point your full attention to everything that appears in the field of consciousness as “ego” or will. The simple encounter with the humble silence of the mind makes them disappear, without any intervention on our part. From now on, the whole being is illuminated by the Sacred — present within each of us — uniting us with the One Reality, where we live and experience bliss as a state of Pure Consciousness, in the climate of divine greatness.
Discover the cave of the heart is like discover a new continent, a new level of consciousness, a inner Kingdom or Heaven, and is able to see this new spiritual content when the “ego” vanishes, and we will encounter the state of timelessness and Oneness. The ego shrouds the timelessness state (Oneness) with its own concepts of time and duality (separation).
The ‘cave of the heart’, In fact, humans have not just “one” heart but more than one heart. The heart we are most familiar with is the anatomical heart, a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. Our second heart is the emotional heart, which is the seat of emotions and feelings. Yogis characterize this seat of emotions as the point where the two psychic channels, ida and pingala, cross to form “the knot of Vishnu.”‘ Beyond these two hearts is the third heart, the spiritual heart. It is the center of higher consciousness, the seat of the true Self.
“The Self is like a grain of rice, as small as a fragment of golden millet; form residing in the cave of the heart, shining like a smokeless fire, the Self bigger than the sky”.
“In the region of the heart, there is a lotus in the center of which there is a circle the size of an atom wherein is found the individual soul, which is light. . . . When thought rests in the very center of the lotus, it attains Knowledge.
It must be remembered that the psychic centre is not located in the physical heart or in the heart chakra, though it is often confused with this heart centre. It is lo-cated behind the heart cakra, deep within on an inner plane.
Thus the heart is more than a physical organ; it is the seat of our higher consciousness and the springboard for self-transformation.
The Secret Chamber of the Heart, containing the Crystal Cave is the open door to the microcosm and to the macrocosm, where one can explore the beauty held within, of the higher dimensions, and of our own Self transformation. Through the process of transformation, the Soul in Matter is gathering and balancing all aspects of the Self or Resurrecting all aspects of the Self from all dimensions, to enable marrying all aspects of the Self as one with the purity of the Self in Spirit, or Ascension.
The threefold flame of Life is the divine spark.Also called the Christ flame and the liberty flame, or fleur-de-lis, it is the spark of a man’s Divinity, his potential for Christhood (or Buddhahood).
Our being are in the by separative ego – consciousness. Separated ego consciousness is also the mass consciousness. The ego is the part that creates separation from the real divine self and to overcome alienation it easier to stay in the state of mass consciousness.
The yogi learns to find God in the cave of his heart, not in mass consciousness.
The ‘cave of the heart’ is a well-known traditional expression: the Sanskrit word guha generally designates a cave, but is applied also to the inner cavity of the heart, and consequently to the heart itself. This ‘cave of the heart’ is the vital center and the unconditioned Atma, which is in reality identical with Divine itself, as we have explained elsewhere.’ This word guha derives from the root guh, meaning ‘to cover’ or ‘to hides, which is also the sense of another similar root, gup, whence gupta, applied to everything of a secret character, everything not outwardly mani-fested; it is the equivalent of the Greek kruptos, which gives the word `crypt, synonymous with cave.
Each of us is invited to discover for ourselves where the cave of our heart is located within us. We learn to do this through repeated tuning in to the homing frequency at the depth of our being. The following heart meditation invites you to enter the cave of your heart, to rest there, and to begin to attune yourself to its subtle frequency.
Man ‘ s eternal soul can never be permanently satisfied with non – eternal happiness . … world , which ultimately bring nothing but weariness , looks for the real freedom and bliss dwelling in every heart , but obscured by the veil of ignorance .
In fact, humans have not just “one” heart but more than one heart. The heart we are most familiar with is the anatomical heart, a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. Our second heart is the emotional heart, which is the seat of emotions and feelings. Yogis characterize this seat of emotions as the point where the two psychic channels, ida and pingala, cross to form “the knot of Vishnu.”‘ Beyond these two hearts is the third heart, the spiritual heart. It is the center of higher consciousness, the seat of the true Self. It is also the center where spiritual seekers focus their awareness on the objects of their meditation. In the case of those practicing theistic meditations, the object is usually their Chosen Deity.
All of these “hearts” are located in the same region. A surgeon can see the anatomical heart at the time of heart surgery. Ae emotional heart can be felt very palpably when a person is moved by a strong surge of emotion. Ae spiritual heart, though, can neither be seen nor felt so easily. It needs to be discovered or awakened. Ae spiritual heart is dormant in most people, its presence obscured by the veil of ignorance, past mental impressions, and desires.
The Divine Self is difficult to see because it is lodged inaccessibly deep in the cave of the heart which is itself situated in the midst of misery.” The “cave of the heart” is the spiritual heart and “misery” refers to the body and the senses, which are the source of pain and suffering and the consequent misery.’ What is the “spiritual heart” really? It is the faculty of spiritual intuition ( buddhi) through which supersensuous knowledge comes.
According to Yoga-Vedanta psychology, the mind has two layers: one layer (called manas) classifies information received through the senses and also detects sensations like pain and pleasure; the second layer (called buddhi) makes decisions. Both the functions, analysis and synthesis, that these layers perform are important and useful in life. Very little of buddhi is actually used, or even needed, for our daily activities and encounters, which are mediated through the senses. Ae partially functional buddhi is not enough, though, for experiences that are beyond the reach of the mind and the senses. In most people, the power of the buddhi is latent and needs to be awakened.
The buddhi, once awakened, becomes fully functional and then becomes more than mere “intellect.” It is the faculty of spiritual intuition and it is this that is described in the Upanishads as “heart,” “the lotus of the heart,” or “the cave of the heart.” The awakening, or the discovery, of the spiri-tual heart is the first real spiritual experience meditators get, and it opens the door for more experiences in their spiritual journey. This process of consciously directing a single stream of thought toward a higher spiritual center—usually the heart—is called meditation.’ For meditation to succeed, the mind must be fixed at the heart (or, whichever higher center one is focusing on) and this becomes possible only when the spiritual heart is discovered. Since the mind cannot be fixed at an imaginary place, it wanders aimlessly during meditation, a common experience that most beginners in meditation practice are familiar with.
Unable to locate the spiritual heart, most meditators succeed in concentrating only on the emotional heart. Devotional practices such as prayer and worship often activate the emotional heart first and then, gradually, they awaken the spiritual heart. Ae spiritual heart is beyond emotions.
The discovery of the spiritual heart is a fascinating experience. In the early stages of meditation practice, everything within the body of the meditator appears to be solid, and darkness is all that is seen when the eyes are closed. The spiritual heart has not been located and, until it is, those attempting meditation appear to be fumbling their way in what seems like a dark room or a tunnel.
What sustains this search is intense faith and what fuels it is purity of purpose, purity of emotion, and purity of reason.’ Suddenly, when one is least expecting it, the darkness within gives way to a glow of light and one discovers space, a space that is much larger than that occupied by the anatomical heart. Ais inner, lighted space is the seat of pure, objectless consciousness.
This is the spiritual heart. The longer one dwells in it, the larger the space becomes. The inner space has no boundaries. Enthroned in the center of the spiritual heart is the Chosen Deity, which the medi-tator is now able to see in perfect clarity. This is the place where the Upanishads locate the true Self ?
A strong anatomical heart ensures good physical health. A purified emotional heart ensures good emotional health. An awakened spiritual heart ensures good spiritual health. Physical health and emotional health are both important for a happy, fulfilling, meaningful life. They are inadequate, though, when life eventually meets its inseparable coun-terpart, death. What survives death and destruction is spirit. Without the direct experience of one’s true Self, the spirit within, a person remains trapped in the endless circle of birth and death.
Spiritual life is a life rooted in the spirit, and the spirit is discovered in the light of buddhi. The light of buddhi is not different from the light of the spirit. Seeing that light is really being that light. It is through the spiritual heart that we enter the realm of being. According to Vedanta, we have “become” mortal, imperfect, and bound by forgetting our atman nature. In order to recover our apparently lost memory, we have to end the process of “becoming” and begin the process of “being” what we always are—immortal, perfect and free.
