Initiation: Realizing You are Not the Body

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj quote: You are not the body. You are the immensity and...

The main goal of initiation is to come to the knowledge that you are not the body. This is realized in in the trial and lessons as well as experiences throughout our life. If we are consciously working with ourselves we can ascend the ladder of initiation more quickly and come to the illumination of the beings within the body.

In ancient times the initiation rituals consisted of inducing a near death experience to the initiate and the bringing them back to life through various means. This is how they were able to gain the knowledge that the I AM, the individuality continues when the body dies.

When we are unconscious or ourselves we live our lives as if we were the body in and of itself. We may feel that we are automatic, we do not have much control of our thinking patterns and reactions. In the beginning the consciousness is very much asleep to its divine origins. At around age four the ego starts manifesting and completely making its home in the human body. We begin crystalizing our ego in our adolescence and from there on up it is up to us to come to the realization that we are in a body not the body it self.

I remember when I was seventeen years old I woke up in the night and became very frightened with the feeling that I was not my body but something or someone trapped inside of a body. This realization was terrifying as if before I identified solely with the body but by feeling my self and coming to realization of I Am Consciousness separate from the body and mind a feeling of entrapment took place. From this point on I came to more experiential knowledge of being separate from the body.

The first stage of initiation is simply hearing and intellectual understanding that we are souls inside of a body. After a while of mediation and dedicated austerities, we begin to get a more distant feel of the spot where the I am appears and the body itself. We begin to feel that the body is enveloped within ourselves, that the body is actual inside of the Soul.

Practice sitting with the sense of I Am, take no thought and simply feel the feeling of being itself. Try to come to the feeling that you re not the mind that the mind is a computer that’s the true self or soul is connected to and once departs is no longer bound by the mind itself.

This world is produced by the Minds, we are not the Minds but the beings with minds. The mind is the machine the soul uses to express itself in a limited way. Once we begin to Identify with who we are which is the being we will see the body as a vehicle. Life will no longer be the same, you will be merged with the inner witness which is always safe.

The soul cannot be harmed in this creation or even by Almighty God. Therefore, Ch 2 of Gita says the Soul cannot be cut or wet or dried or burnt by elements. The Soul is part of eternal Truth it has its nature.It is the mind and body (gross or subtle) that is of elements and haste elemental nature and affected by them. Once we come to this knowledge of self we will no longer have fear, even when the body is in severe pain we will be safe within our being and know that the conscious continues eternally. You will come to a sense of looking in from somewhere else rather than being trapped in the body.

Mysteries of Gemini

As the consciousness illuminates the subconscious mind, tendencies, and aggregates of the psyche are recognized as they are. By self remembering and making ourselves conscious by holding fast to the sense of I Am, we are able to better comprehend our mechanical nature. We can learn to take back control of the mind and body and become less reactive. Krishna says the soul is above mind and intelligence, our soul must rule over our mind and intellect. Instead of being the effect of our surroundings we can become the cause of phenomena relating to our personal lives! By comprehending our inner reasoning for doing things and acting out in a particular manner we can become more tolerant and understanding of those around us. Self reflection is a process corresponding to the influence of Gemini the twins.

Gemini represents the split of the the monad into male and female as well as the dual aspects of the consciousness, the witness and the witnessed, Gemini also relates to the conscious mind’s relationship with the subconscious mind. Our consciousness is mirrored onto itself. The conscious mind is the male suspect and the subconscious mind is the female receptive aspect, both are products and under control of the superconscious mind or over soul. Normally we experience life as the one who experiences, or the subject. Self observation breaks the illusion and we realize and understand that we are the witness the observer of that which experiences. Once the two are seperated a deeper comprehension is reached and we understand that we are both, the observer and the observed, and we can live life consciously living in both states. We begin to watch ourselves from an objective standpoint, here in which the I AM presence begins to crystallize and we become less reactive to our emotions, or outer phenomena which normally would have an effect on our moods and actions. We begin to step outside of the subjective reasoning and find objective reality. Or that which is and find that I Am That is forever and was.

Mysteries of Solomon

Biography of King Solomon: The Wisest Man Who Ever Lived

King Solomon is in man. Solomon first and foremost is the Sun, crowned and draped in purple as the sun is in Aries. Purple was given to royalty because the sun is purple in the spring, the crown chakra is also purple as well as the highest color on the light spectrum. IN the picture he is looking to the right side where spring resides in higher consciousness the right hemisphere of the brain. The right brains is the feminine receptive mind of man and is able to pick up on truths intuitively. When we cast our nets to the right we are being receptive to message from the superior dimensions and open to influence form higher realms to move into right action. He is seated between the two pillars of mercy and severity or action and reception, one who thinks before one speaks, listens before one responds. This signifies how we must become depolarized from the antagonizing opposites. Solomon represents the wise consciousness in you, not the one that is jealous, not the one who is spiteful, confused , nor anxious, but the one who cast out these lower demons as in the allegory of King solomon. This being represents and produces the higher consciousness that seeks understanding, and wisdom, and love.

The bible is layered with 7 ways of seeing each of the dramas. Physically speaking tKing Solomon represents the neocortex, the cerebrum, the optical thalamus,the third eye.( The higher faculties found in the brain of man) Notice he’s draped in purple representing the crown chakra. Jesus is also draped in purple showing the Sun in spring.in the picture above he has discarded the false paradigm, or the lesser programs and is now rewriting and making his own detailed consciousness to live from a higher sense of purpose or a paradigm that is more aligned with the universal laws. Above him of course is 12, the 12 zodiac and the 12 cranial nerves corresponding to the 12 intelligences in you. This is not a historical man of the past in and of itself but is the higher soul in you which crystallized once one has become balanced and has raised above the mundane, carnal way of life and into the divine. One who has cast demons out of their own personal temple of solomon which is non other than the human body.

Manly P Hall states in the Secret Teachings of All Ages

Solomon the spirit of universal illumination -mental spiritual, moral and physical- is personified in the king of an earthly nation While a great ruler by that name may have built a temple, he who considers the story solely from its historical angle will never clear away the rubbish, that covers up the secret vaults.

The Temple of Solomon on the physical level is the human body and mind. From the the celestial perspective it is the vault of the heavens and the solar orb that builds and forms creation.

The Yoga Krishna Taught

Lord Shri Krishna Images Wallpapers Childhood | Krishna wallpaper, Baby krishna, Bal krishna

Yoga is to live in perfect action at all times in all circumstances. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna taught us how to initiate this process.

We begin by holding our body relaxed and spine erect without tension, legs should be crossed or innate in a way that does not cause too much discomfort. Start by gazing at the horizon right at the tip of your nose. A lot of practitioners may mistake this for going cross-eyed while meditating. This would be very uncomfortable. Attempt to slightly look cross-eyed, inward towards the horizon of the Enos ever so slightly, this should not feel uncomfortable at all. Once you slightly gaze towards the horizon in front of you ever so slightly you should feel a magnetic pull or pressure from between your eyebrows corresponding to the third eye Ajna chakra.

After your eyes are rested in the place stated above place your tongue behind your front teeth. This allows the electromagnetic energy field to complete its circuit m in reality we should always have our tongue resting on the roof of the mouth when we are idle or walking. The ancient Taoists and the brain knew that this is how you complete the circuit and initiate the energy flow of the energy at the base of the spine to start rising upon the spine and recharging the brain.

The bible also states And I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be speechless and unable to rebuke them, for they are rebels.

Jesus said to become as children to enter the kingdom of heaven, This has 7 different meanings however one of them is thus adopting the natural mannerisms of the body of a newborn, as newborns rest their tongue on the roof of their mouth and breath from tthe here lower belly rather then chest, hence they are ina. a constant state of yoga.

Once these two steps are completed we can go straight into belly breathing. In this way when you breathe out your belly should move outward rather than inward and when you exhale your abdomen should pull inward and gently squeeze against your intestines and the base of the spinal column.

The final step is to rest your observation on the sense of being and feel you connect to the supreme Paramatma, or creator of the universe, a loving feeling is needed. The Taoists use the inner smile to cultivate a feeling of love, joy, and happiness. If this is done while the above steps are also being done simultaneously there is no limit to the amount of bliss and self-knowledge you will be able to acquire from this ecstatic state you will find yourself in.

The final key is to have enough fuel to produce this feeling. We need to train ourselves to retain our sexual energy and build up the excitement for love of life and service to mankind. We can abstain from drugs, stimulants, and overeating to help keep our brain chemicals in check so we don’t go into the negative zones of depression.

The Logos

The prime creator is both one and the many! The logos manifest as the whole in the multiplicity. This is why Elohim is Plural for male and female gods and goddesses, and the hindu pantheon is so versatile. This is monotheistic polytheism at its finest.

We are all voices of the one. The father is the stillness then the first motion produces a vibration, a wave which is the mother or eve. This creates a sine wave and that sine wave is what allows us to experience this reality here and now. As we our now children of the light we are part of the many but the one is within us. Jesus said He and the father are one The father in me and I in you. It is talking about the layers of the soul the garments.

We all come from the same cause, we are the effects of the one cause and therefore we have similar archetypal patterns and experience in life throughout the ages. This Is why we find so much in common with other people aside from certain variations. Yes, we all have our very own separate individuality but we also have a part of us that is fundamentally the same as everyone else. God appears as many different forms and many different names in many different cultures and provides many different customs, this is all fine. The universal mind is always working and providing,it is the great spirit supreme The Logos in connected with Kether Chokmah and BInah of the Tree of LIfe. KEther manifest as the Ancient of Days. He is said to be an ancient man with white hair, thousand of locks, and a beard. Eyes that never close and is always watching over the entire creation. The description is anagogical and if we know that everything below is like that above then we can take the microcosm old man we have here on earth and make is bigger and eternal and huge and place him in the transcendental plane so we can get some experience or insight of the benefic Ancient of Days the eternal being that never was born and never dies, who never sleeps and always watches.

Mysteries of Santa Clause

The Great Arcanum is simple as the blooming of a flower. In the same way, a flower goes through stages of growth and finally blossoms, so in the same way, a similar process takes place within our bodies. The story of Santa Claus is symbolic of a hormonal chemical process that takes place in the body.

George W Carey States, in the book title God Man word, Made Flesh, “There is an automatic procedure within the human body, which, if not interfered with, will do away with sickness, trouble, sorrow, and death, as stated in the Bible.” IN the bible it is referred to as the Oil of Gladness.

Now that we are in the age of Aquarius this information has already been given freely to the public. George W Carey, Manly P Hall, Samael Aun Weor, Swami Vivekananda, and present-day teachers that point to the way such as Santos Bonacci, Bill Donahue, and many others pointed toward this internal process. In a previous article, we explained how humanity has to develop the 12 archetypes within, and activate the inner zodiac. The 12 cranial nerves correspond to each of the 12 Zodiac. The 12 apostles are inherent qualities of the soul. This way the number 12 is so important and inherent in all of these epochs.

I. Olfactory nerve. The olfactory nerve transmits information to the brain regarding the sense of smell.
II. Optic nerve. …
III. Oculomotor nerve. …
IV. Trochlear nerve. …
V. Trigeminal nerve. …
VI. Abducens nerve. …
VII. Facial nerve.

Swami Vivekananda stated that when a man retains his semen for 12 years that he develops a nerve called the nerve of memory, which when attained, the man can remember whatever he sees and hears.

The key to activating the inner alchemical processes of our bodies the ancients from many traditions have all pointed to masterful control of the sexual energy. When the Sexual energy is restrained the nervous system is charged with energy, similar to a battery. Chastity does not mean abstinence, if you are married then you can still have coitus without losing chasity simply by retaining the fluids. The sexual that are produced by the claustrum is connected to the spinal fluid and the spinal fluid is related to the sex hormones and fluids on an energetic level.

The gland in the brain resembles characteristics from the story of Santa Claus. As we are told Santa Claus lives in the North pole where there is snow, he is accompanied by rain deer, a sled, and elves that help him in his endeavors. These are all physical glands and chemical processes that take place in the brain entities in the brain.

Life is essentially mystical and full of mysteries, one of them being the human body. The stories we write reflect the inner workings of nature. Similar to the menstrual cycle a similar cycle happens 12 times a year where the claustrum produces a substance that flows down the spinal canal. The claustrum signals the pineal gland to produce the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which is released into the blood and the brain fluid, known as cerebrospinal fluid.

Studies have shown that melatonin is related to and affects the regulation of the reproductive system systems such as puberty, gonadal function, and conception.

These are the gifts that Santa brings us down the chimney. We have to raise these fluids back up to the brain by living by the natural laws that govern our bodies. Man is equipped with a spiritual thermometer within that either rises or falls depending on the thoughts, emotions, and actions of the individual. Man and Woman are the Microcosms of the Macrocosm, we are made in God’s image and therefore we have the universe inside us. Just like a flower goes through certain processes and changes of maturation so we have a process within that if not interfered with, we can become what we are destined to become. The fluids when transmuted energize the brain and replenish it, reviving dead brain cells and activating talent and inherent gifts. These stories are symbolic of this inner process.

The Claustrum or Santa Clause produces a fluid that is differentiated and deposited in the pineal gland and pituitary gland. These are alchemical laboratories Pineal produces s a yellow substance and the pituitary a white substance.

The story of Santa Claus is an essential a story referring to the raising of the kundalini in the body and activating the inner talents and gifts. If the fluid is wasted and we destroy it by over drinking, overeating, and being ill-willed or bad-tempered we create havoc in our bodies and disrupt the process hence be a good boy or you will get a lump of coal. When we retain our fluids and raise them back into the brain we are activating the 13th cranial nerve which would give us access to the superior dimensions of life.
