The Sun goes through a cycle in which it is born, matures, reaches its highest point, begins declination, becomes dead in the winter, and resurrects in Spring. The Sun is the macro Soul of man and the journey of the Sun means the interior journey of birth, death, sacrifice, and resurrection from the tomb of matter. This is the esoteric wisdom of the ages. In my way, we see as we live that the trees once luscious and green in the summer become dead in the winter. For the first time, one may think that the trees are forever going to be withered and dead, it is only until we witness the resurrection first hand that we begin to understand the cycles of nature. By observing this intuitively we can come to a space of calm in knowing that so to use shat have renewed life after death in the same way the dead tree and plants are run by the Sun. The inner sun of the spiritual Son of The great spirit in us must resurrect us from our winter.

The son is the Atma while the father is parabrahman. Jesus says that the father gives authority to the son to cast judgment. The Christ is the individualized being who was sent forth from the Father. The Father is all encompassing and is above the material mind comprehension. The Father manifest a Son or the Atma aka Krishna the Christ to witness and take part in each individuals life seated in the heart. When we say seated in the heart we are not speaking of the physical pump in our bodies. It is referring to the center of the being.
Every individual soul has a inner Father who is the platform or screen of pure awareness consciousness bliss. This Father produces a Son who is the Witness. The witness is what direct us from with in and guides us throughout our entire life. Jesus says the Father has not left him alone because he always does the things that please him. When the individual ego is guided by the inner light or soul then the grace of the parabrahman the Father is upon us, we experience deep peace profound. When we neglect our inner being and go against the higher aspect of our soul and do not accept the words of the Christ, or the inner witness, then we descend. We feel this decent in our spinal column, The light that was once in our hearts as a child or adolescent is now lowered into the solar plexus. We stop feeling the nourishment of the parabrahman. If we decide to descend further then the light go down to the stomach and base of the spine. We must believe or act intelligently under the guidance of the Christ which is the way the truth and the life. The Christ or the inner perfect I am Being says we can not go to the Father who is the eternal consciousness bliss and beyond attributes. The christ as a perfect manifestation of the Father has attributes and we are able to perceive that being according to your level of comprehension.
The wisdom and reasoning of the father reside in the heart of man. The heart is connected to the one and expresses the qualities of the creator. When the lion and the lamb rest together there will be peace within the temple. Leo the lion which is the symbol of the archetype of the qualities of the heart and the lamb which resides in the cerebrum, the higher mind. Aries which is the first effulgence of magnetism into the electrical world of effects.
When the the mind and the heart work in communion and alignment with the higher purpose resulting in a perfected will. The being is no longer a slave to passions and pleasures and aligns with his or her higher purpose. When the heart blossoms through experiencing and becoming more understanding of love and the love from which they came, one starts to see other a oneself and the illusion of separation is penetrated by the single eye which see things for what they are in unity. Selflessness, forgiveness, compassion, empathy, sacrifice, humor. As above so below for these are the qualities of the father. These qualities are inherent within us as well however they have been numbed and dulled by the material universe and our thoughts of the material universe. Or in particular, certain paradigms which do not align with the sine wave which is the secret of creation according to Walter Russell.
When these qualities are expressed the magnetic frequency of the heart is increased and the electrical energy is raised from Egypt which is below the kidneys,up into the heart and up from there to the high heavens or the head which is heaved upon the temple. Clear understandings of universal truths are then understood for what they are, the individual shifts from thinking to a state of knowing. The left and right hemispheres are balanced as the energy was allowed to cross from the left hemisphere to the right. The red sea has been crossed and the faculties of wisdom and reason are now restored to their original state. Synchronicities in the outer world reflect back onto the individual messages, reassurances, and initiations serve as guide post for the individual to gradually meander into the place where one can serve in there highest expression of qualities of there inherent gifts in which one gives back to nature in a symbiotic relationship for one then realizes that one is not separate from nature.
The passions of the heart have to be directed by the The higher mind or the cerebrum. The cerebrum is the physical manifestation of the higher faculties of the soul. The logical materialistic analytical dead mind must be enlivened with the live of truth that emanates in the cauldron of the heart. It is interesting to note that Aries and Leo are both fire signs. The fires of the heart must be transmuted into the brain by observing our emotions and passions and translating them into love through comprehension.The higher mind is what comprehends.
The heart center is our deep soul emotions ad is feminine in nature while our mind is masculine and in the realm of thought. The relationship between the mind and heart and finding equilibrium between these two centers is one of the main pursuits of occult science. This is the marriage of the bride groom with the bride which is the soul. The union of opposites creates the hexagram. We need to be able to observe our emotions and transform them into their divine counterpart. For example, if we are feeling a feeling of jealousy for what another has we should be able to use our mind to stop and observe and reflect on these feelings and comprehend it is coming formt he material limited ego and the not the immortal soul. In this way you are bale t shift perception and transmute the emotion. This is how we can tam eour passionate lion heart and transform it into the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, when we can stop with our will and our inner witness which is krishna him self to not act or dwell in dilutions from emotions, we can distill them and color them off in the throat chakra if we simply breath them up and over our head this process cools down the fires and soon when the storm has stilled the heart truth will speak clearly and the mind can go back to its normal doings. This process this relationship takes place on very subtle levels.
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 saysthe 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.
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.
Dream yoga is the art of waking up in our dreams and becoming conscious of them, conscious that we are in a dream, in another realm. Some mix this up with lucid dreaming some with astral projection. Lucid dreaming is becoming aware and manipulating an interior realm that you are creating and inhabininginhabiting. Astral projection is to utilize a higher vehicle in this case the astral body to travel in the world and other realms in which you see things as they are and are not able to control the outcome of things as you can in the internal lucid dream.
As children, we came with lots of energy and were able to astral project and lucid dream very easily. When we are kids we have potent energy stored in our pineal gland. We are connected to the field and the three states of consciousness are subtly mixed. The waking and dreaming state are overlapping. As we grow older these seem to separate and we experience them one at a time. We wake up and we are in the I Am and we go about our day. We go to sleep and enter the realm of dreams where we lose faculties of discrimination and become automatic, unconscious that we are dreaming, then we experience the dreamless state where we merge with the inner being and experience no being. This does not have to happen. If we become fully awake in the waking state when we are going to work, relaxing with the family, or experience experiencing pleasure or discomfort we can become awake in the astral plane as well. In dream yoga, you have to remind yourself throughout the day up to 30 times to check if you’re dreaming or not. By doing this repeatedly it will transfer into the realm of dreams and you will be performing the same reality checks that you did when you were awake and you will then wake up.
The astral plane is more real than the physical waking state. The dream state is either conscious or unconscious, mechanical or methodical it all depends on your ability to wake up and remain cognizant during the waking hours. The Tibetans prepared for death through the practice of sleep. Perhaps when you die the individual being is now unable to respawn into the physical waking state and goes between the deep sleep and the dream state. One would want to be fully conscious of this process. When we become lucid and conscious in the internal realms we can teleport to the superior dimensions, There we can play and partake in the pastime of Krishna visit ancestors or even people who are still alive in the present time, In the Upanishads, it says the higher realms are full of chariots and ethereal women and men to be joyous an interact with. The dream realm does not have to be a frenzy of unconscious patterns that took place in your waking state hence most dreams are repeats of what happened during the following day. If we become lucid, instead of calling for and summoning a desire to be fulfilled we can ask to be taken to a spiritual teacher or the true universities of the soul that are on the other planets. We can ask to allow our defects to be revealed to ourselves, we can talk to our inner being and seek guidance in our daily lives!
We spend a huge portion of our lives in unconscious sleep, if we become conscious we can utilize that time to add value to our life span.
