Our body and our mind is the earth that we need to balance and put to good practical use and make strong healthy. Through routines and exercise as well as a prominent soul connection to one’s vocation. Sacrificing the efforts and labors to the great Spirit.

Our soul can walk upon the waters of life as long as we balance our emotions! Our emotions and our relationships with one another other represents our water , our imagination and dreams, are receptive in nature. We can balance our water element and calm the waters and triumph through various methods that evoke the water elementals to assist us in mastering this element.

Birth, Death, and Resurrection: Science of the Soul

Christ, astrology, pagans and Sun worship | Gregory Sams Blog

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 Alchemical Lab of the Body

The body is made in a way that if utilized correctly it will naturally ward of illness and mental issues such as the dappening drag feeling we all have. Essentially the human body is a perfect combination of the elements. It is pillar of salt endowed with spirit fire. When the spirit fire is weakened through rapid exhaustion of the energy force, then the physical body becomes weakened, first mentally then physically. If we learn to retain the outgoing impulse and shut down the five sense periodically through mediation we can recharge the body. The body is a battery. Notice that we are electromagnetic beings but we are all wearing rubber shoes. We know that rubber does not conduct electricity therefore we are walking around without being grounded. Here we have three imbalances,

1. We are always seeking and following the outgoing current of the senses. The energy seeks to leave through the 5 senses hence when we watch an emotional movie we may feel tired, or of we are paying attention to a lecture we may become tired, or after physical exertion we become tired. The energy seeks an exit.

2. We are not grounded we are always whare insulated shoes removing our connection to the negative polarity hence causing inflammation within the body.

3. We are not centered in our being. Instead we are identified with our mind and bodies. If we find our center we can identify with the aspect of our self that is unmanifested. By correcting these three aspects we can keep the fire burning within us and the body will naturally become a beacon of health.

Questions One Should Ask One’s Self

1.Have I become athiestic in nature? If so why?

2.Do I meditate on the Supreme being with form or without form?

3. Is the prime creator personal or impersonal or above both?

4. Do I want to taste the fruit or be the fruit?

5. If there is an absolute truth, do I live up to its existemce and relevence in my day to day activities?

6. What existence is possible without the body and mind? Have I personally experienced life and existence beyomd the physical and mental spheres if only for a glimpse?

7. Am I able to wake up consciously while dreaming and have full cognizance in that realm?

8. Does God take personal interest in people and there lifes and aspirations?

9.What lessons can be learned from witnessing the cycle of life in the animal kingdom and the brutal nature of eating other entities to continue life?

10. Am I perfect in all ways or are there imperfections and evil inlcinations laying deep within my own heart?

These are the questions that are important to ask in this age of forgetfulness.

Who is the Son?

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.

Abide in the Essence and Stop Suffering

The essence is the the true self that connects into the physical material realm. The essence is innocent and is the spiritual seed or spark that descends from the causal realm. The essence is what notices when we get distracted.
The essence is what we can hold to to annihilate thoughts.
If we pay attention and get wrapped up in every little thought every little desire there will be no end to it. The essence is bottled up in what are called egos. Ouspensky the great mystic taught that the essence it trapped in egos which are multiplistic aspects of the physical creature that works mechanically. The egos are created through identification of the body and its programmed desires. The goal of man is to overcome these mechanical programs and unlock full control of the physical body and mind. Remember , you’re not the body or the mind, You’re the essence that uses the mind which controls the body.

We need to ascend to the the third level of consciousness and become what is called an airhead. This state of consciousness is above past and present thinking it simply exist in bliss. This is where the essence resides. IN the grreek esoteric school sman was separated into 4 states of consciousness. earth, water, air and fire.

We need not fret for yesterday or tomorrow for tomorrow will be taken care of when it is today. Abide in the essence and be free. The essence is outside of the three modes of consciousness. We are in waking state, then we go to the dream state, and finally the dreamless unconscious states. These are the three modes of consciousness. The essence, or the witness is the weather or observer. Once we identify with the witness that sustains our being we are no longer distracted or attracted to the material modes of nature.

We can effortlessly abide in the essence by practicing self remembering. We do this by watching our thoughts, feeling and reactions throughout the day in the waking state while remembering we are spirit and not the body. The waking state is the only state we can use the intellect to make decisions. Once we go to sleep we go to the the dream realm which is a reflection of the waking state. Usually we do not have full conscious discrimination in the dream world until we have fully awakened consciousness in the waking state. Every day when we wake up we can abide in the essence as long as possible. While we are doing our morning routine,going to work, or at home after work we can abide in the essence and watch ourselves. We have to watch the mechanical nature of the material realm. The body and mind do things but we the witness does not do anything.

Indian saints have said we are not the doer. Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita says that the soul or essence is not slain when the body is slain therefore the witness is always protected. In fact, the part of you that is you is not embodied, it is unmanifested and appears to be in the body. We are essentially bluetoothed wirelessly connected otot the body. When the essence projects into the body it feels the sense of I AM and starts going about activities. Sometimes our activities are of goodness, kind, non pleasure seeking but simply bestowing and receiving in goodness. We have our passionate mode that is full of desires, sensation seeking, passionate and full of emotions such as anger or pride this is rajas or our passionate mode. Finally we have tamas which is our ignorant state, of wrath, laziness, lethargic, daydreaming unaware mode of consciousness. The essence that is us and is the basis of our witness is not perturbed by the 3 modes of nature, waking, dreaming, and sleeping, but is simply aware and watching the happenings. The major problem in life is to identify with the body. We are the spirit souls, fractals of the prime creator. Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita I am the witness. Krishna is the witness within us, our being is sustained by the supreme being which watched over all creation.

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.

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.
