Cycling of Consciousness

Cycling of Consciousness is the precursor to something else.

Many awake folks experience new awakenings regularly. What I’ve noticed is each of these cycles have the same pattern.

Initially, there’s a grand overview like I am everything. Then, there is a second experience like, I am nothing. Finally, I am everything and nothing simultaneously and therefore whole again.

This really is the rediscovery of knowing yourself to be complete, whole or brahmam, using vedic terminology.

It sounds simple and benign, After the fact. But when you’re going through the experience it can be traumatic. Finding yourself to be either everything or nothing is okay but when both are experienced as your whole self and you are alternating between them you soon find yourself in limbo. Lost in no-man's land asking, “Which one is it? Which am I?” It’s psychologically painful.

The in-between state, many times is experienced as, “the dark night of the soul”.

It takes the alternation of awareness to mature to a simultaneous awareness to get relief. Once one is able to grow past the seeming duality to arrive at singularity the cycle is complete. We find ourselves to be whole again.

Within the growth of Brahman Consciousness, there is the development of the Brahma Sutras. This “cycling” of consciousness is the living day-to-day version of the Brahma Sutras. The actual stitching together of Brahman Consciousness. The putting together of wholeness, endlessly.

“Curving back on my own nature, I create, again and again”. Bhagavad Gita ch 9 v 8.

Falling in love, again???

Seems like I’m falling in love with everyone and everyone is falling in love with me, perpetually. What’s happening? 

As we rise in consciousness of course our heart begins to blossom. We see and talk with others and begin to appreciate them on a more subtle level. They can see and feel that appreciation as well. Often this subtle feeling is misunderstood as personal love, but it’s not. It’s simply a deep appreciation of bliss the ananda part of sat chit ananda, experienced with someone. 

What adds to the confusion is many times lower chakras are enliven, I discuss this dynamic in my book under ‘Gut Enlightenment’. Suffices to say, this is not a personal love affair. It is beautiful and truly enjoyable but probably not really “falling in love”.

Overtime one recognizes it and gets used to it and gradually takes the wedding planner off of speed dial. However, although you become comfy with the experience the person on the other end of this relationship is usually, clueless and it’s so difficult to explain without some level of heartbreak. Every silver lining has its cloud. 

Love y’all - kind of? :)

New Heart Technique

I was exposed to a new heart technique last night. A long time friend and enlightened soul called me. He was telling me about a technique he got from Jan Esmann, an enlightened Danish author, who I mention in my book as a Shakti Master. The technique goes something like this. 

Sitting in a settled state perhaps after some moments of meditation, allow love to radiate out from the heart. At the same time allow love from your expanded universe to flow in to your heart. Both of these flows are to be experienced simultaneously. 

At first it was difficult to conceptualize until I mentally particalized love. Love, now in these tiny little lively particles, could now be experienced as flowing from the heart and the outer universal love to the heart simultaneously. I positioned awareness in my heart so the experience maintained a personal flavor. Then I simply rested there and enjoyed the show. 

The two opposing flows served to tickle the heart as the bliss grew. Of course, I’ve experienced heart bliss before but this was a more detailed and richer feeling of love and the love was more lively. 

Give it a try. Perhaps with a friend.
