From Limited Mind and Body to Our True (No) Self

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...

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...

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...

Abstract: In modern day spirituality, we often encounter unexpected, unwelcoming spiritual and psychic attacks that hinder our spiritual progression. Most of these attacks are aimed at lightworkers and starseeds who are ambitious and creating a larger impact in their sphere of influence, where people are being transformed in large numbers. The attacks are usually instigated by  malevolent beings in the higher energy planes to energetically manipulate such individuals, siphon energy from their higher chakras and to feed misinformation. But how do we become vulnerable to these attacks when we are karmically clean? Well these malevolent beings specifically exploit various kind of spiritual laws to achieve this to the unawareness of the yogi and the bodhisattva practitioners (i.e. ascended masters) are the main target group. These attacks can be so powerful to the level that, they can even stop your ascension plan, blocking the kundalini energy in your body and cutting your spiritual c...

Abstract: Vipassana practice is unique to Buddhism. It is said that Gautham Buddha had found this practice 2500 years ago, which lead him to his final liberation under the Bodhi tree. However we find different forms of Vipassana practices in other religions too. This could be true as Vipassana essentially means, "Insight Meditation" which can be practiced by anybody despite their religious or ethnic background. There are many programs nowadays offering seasonal Vipassana retreats (during Monsoons). We believe that Vipassana practice is the sure remedy to end our suffering and to be free from mind projections. But how so? And what is the true from of Vipassana? This article covers only the practicality of Vipassana and relate them to Buddha's enlightenment.    Fig. 1: Vipassana : From meditation to a quality of mind. When it comes to the practice of meditation, there are thousand different forms to it. Similarly in Vipassana meditation. The aim of this article is to bring ...

Abstract: In one of the previous posts we discussed that the great philosopher and the bodhisattva Nagarjuna helped revitalizing Buddhism by presenting the Madhyamika philosophy to the world. Sadly many Buddhists do not accept his teachings due to its philosophical depth and the later timeline of his work. Sometimes his work is considered as heresy by certain sects. However real yogis and intellectuals from both Theravada and Maha-(Tantra)-yana traditions consider his work as a masterpiece that reflects the Buddhist wisdom. Did he really commit heresy ? Then whatever the practice that springs from his teachings should be heretical too. If so, why our root guru, Gautham Buddha had prophesized Nagarjuna's coming ? Let's analyze this issue. Fig. 1: Nagarjuna presenting his teachings to his heart disciple, Aryadeva . We have spoken about the topic "emptiness" in many occasions, to the level that is too overwhelming. In the west, this term became so popular thanks to Mahay...
