The Illusion Game (The Outer World) and Gnosis - Part 3

Image
Abstract: The previous two articles shed light on to the nature of human consciousness. We learned that the highest state of human consciousness resembles a sort of tapestry woven by the information we accumulated all along! Thus, even the meditative signs we observe during the deep state of Samadhis are, in fact, creations of our own mind. These signs and symbols take on specific forms depending on the information we have stored in our memory and the deep layers of our human brain. The highest state of human consciousness represents sort of a termination layer from which there is nowhere else to go. What we experience at this termination layer serves as a communication from the absolute to the relative. But is that all? We also state that our outward manifestations are a reflection of our inner state. Which implies, this world can be seen as a projection of our own self/mind. This article primarily focuses on the outer world, which may appear like a simulated environment on that parti...

True Spiritual Knowledge and Wisdom? Do Angels Exist and Have Wings?

Image
Abstract: We all have a fascination with supernatural beings. This intrigue often stems from our curiosity about what lies beyond our understanding as we explore the divine. At certain levels of meditation and through energy channels, we can encounter these divine figures face-to-face. One may feel inspired to uncover these mysteries based on their religious studies and background. Both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions describe divine or enlightened beings who assist the truth seekers by providing guidance and direction for their spiritual growth. This article aims to shed light on to this topic and illustrate examples of how these divine beings make themselves known to practitioners in both Eastern and Western traditions. It is surprising to see how these divine figures appear in different/unique shapes to us, depending on the relative/background information we have in our mind. But that is how the universe communicates to the meditator. A divine message from the absolute to t...

Illusion Game (The Inner World) - Part 2

Image
Abstract: Our previous article sheds some light on to the nature of our human consciousness, the subtle meditative states one can attain and the final termination layer of our human mind. All these states, are witnessed through meditation as deep mental absorptions/samadhis. The nature of this termination layer really depends on the spiritual trajectory of the individual and their level of realization. Most of the time, the advanced practitioners from the Buddhist path go through this matrix/mirror-like state where our mind or awareness finally arrives to its own projection, that creates its own narratives, or rather illusions. Practitioners from other trajectories may have similar stories to share. However, at this mirror-like state, one starts to question everything he/she had witnessed so far; all the meditative experiences, signs, symbols and even the so-called past-life information. Whether they are based on our accumulated data supporting our belief system or whether is it absolu...

Mind, Consciousness, Jhanas, Samadhis and The Illusion Game - Part 1

Image
Abstract: There exist many interpretations to the term “consciousness”. In some of the Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, the consciousness is referred to as the highest meditative attainment and it is frequently equated with the “Godly” or the enlightened nature of our mind. However, in the Buddhist tradition, such an enlightened state is referred to as the “cessation of consciousness” in which, the gross-level human mind disappears. There’s no individuality or self-notion to grasp in it. However, our mind, when it operates with the five senses in day-to-day life, is also called consciousness in science, albeit this is the gross-level operation. There’s a contradiction in the usage of this term. This article demystifies the term “consciousness” and explains different meditative states one can attain with respect to our day-to-day mind. It is also worthwhile to study about the “illusion game” created by our consciousness and to navigate through its dramatic narratives. Fig. 1. ...

Ancient Spiritual Symbols, Their True Meaning and Mistaken Occult Practices

Image
Abstract: Throughout human history, we have encountered various spiritual practices and associated secret symbols that were intended to convey a deeper and purer spiritual message than their literal meanings suggest. Unfortunately, after the disappearance of true mystics, these messages were deliberately misinterpreted and co-opted for various occult practices and dark magic, often associated with secret societies and religious orders. For several centuries, these misinterpretations or fabricated concepts have instilled fear in the human psyche due to a lack of genuine insights into human consciousness. Even today, we often draw conclusions about these secret societies and link conspiracy theories to their symbols. This post aims to explore these ancient secret symbols more deeply and uncover their true meaning in relation to the supreme enlightenment of all bodhisattvas, from all religious traditions, going beyond their religious backgrounds and creeds. Fig. 1: Various religious symbo...
