Wave Function (part 2)

Many feel this wave as an impulse or a breathing. There is a back and forth to it. Its rhythmic. To me its like a tidal wave moving so strongly that I’ve considered taking dramamine (ha).

Be it a pulsation or tidal wave its consciousness on the move. This undulation has been symbolically expressed as a snake. 

The snake of maya wrapped around Shiva’s neck. The seven headed snake that Vishnu reclines on. Even the snake in the garden of eden. All symbolic of maya but more about that in another blog. 

When I feel into this wave I notice that the very top where the wave crests actually disappears into nothingness, samadhi and when it reappears its changed direction and it’s on its way down. At the trough the wave again disappears into nothingness and so it goes. 

The path up and the path down on close examination happens in stages, eight of them to be precise. The eight tumblings of prakriti. Tumbling up then tumbling down. At each turn, the wave has a pause and disappears into nothingness but in a general way all we really notice is the wave or pulsation. So much for amplitude, let’s discuss frequency. 

When the frequency is high the up and down part of the waves are closer together and the pulsation is rapid. So much so, that many experience both the up and the down virtually simultaneously. This accounts for the sense of kundalini rising while simultaneously Grace is descending. 

This is what yields enlightenment. This is why high frequency consciousness is sought. But it’s not just high frequency, it’s high amplitude too.  

I know this sounds completely abstract but simply take away what you can digest. Knowledge of this phenomenon is not a prerequisite for enlightenment it just helps to explain it. 

Most people live their enlightenment quietly resting in its peacefulness and these finite details are of no use to them and I respect that. However, others continue to derive joy from the endless unfoldment of the layers of consciousness and I respect that. I find myself saying, Yes, to all of it. 

Take away what gives you joy. 

Wave Function (part 1)

In my previous blog I discussed the pixelated nature of the universe. How everything in creation can be reduced to the tiniest particles. Each particle containing the elements, characteristics of a universe. Self contained, requiring nothing. These tiny particles are not just the ground state of physical matter but that of spiritual matter as well. That would include angels, gods, goddesses, ascended masters, everything. In the highest of realms these tiny individualities are subtle vibrations. They are the finite syllables of the vedas come to life. 

Once we put attention on them, acknowledge them, they thrill our very soul. They are bliss incarnate, colorfully bubbling, delivering joy. Take a moment to rest in them even now in your heart using your internal sense of touch to feel them and the experience of their natural joy is yours. 

As a collection they serve as the hymns of the vedas. There’s a vedic saying that goes, “he who does not know the hymns of the vedas what can the hymns do for him”. This is a good reason to connect with these tiny beings. 

As hymns these tiny guys are functioning as a team creating a flow of vibrating pure consciousness. Consciousness on the move. This movement is directed therefore it is, expressed intelligence. This movement is experienced as a wave. The entirety of the vedas are a collection of these tiny beings functioning in unisons. In Latin “uni” means one and “son” means sound. This is literally what’s being expressed. This one sound is the fundamental characteristic of Veda. And Veda is the fundamental component of everything. We are Veda through and through. 

Remember, tiny sweet joyful beings, functioning in unisons as a wave, thrilling from the depths of our soul to the end of the universe. 

(Sorry I didn’t write much about the character of the wave function but the fundamental components of the wave needed to be introduced properly. See wave function part 2 for the rest of the story. :)

Seeing Truth

My last blog was very abstract, this blog is an attempt to bring the principles discussed in the last blog, literally, to light. 

For best results, do this excise in a dimly lite room at night. 

If we quietly peer into the air or space around us and mainly pay attention to light and dark we will notice that dark areas contain light and light areas contain dark.  

The light and dark can be seen in somewhat of a pixelated vision. Tiny particles of light and dark.

Take a moment to do this

Now, really peer into the darkness you’ll be surprised by how much light is in that darkness. Now, peer into light objects like white clothes, bedding, walls or ceiling and notice how much darkness is contained in those light colored objects. 

Now, continue to look at the air or space in a non focused manner and close your eyes. Peer into that darkness and notice the light held within that darkness. There is literally no difference between looking with eyes open or closed in the proportion of light in that darkness. 

Take a moment to do this. 

Notice that the space, air, objects all around you can be viewed as tiny pixels of light and dark in every direction with no end, with eyes open or closed. This is awareness. Lively, vibrating awareness experienced inside and out, forever, without end or beginning. 

Rest with this for awhile. 

In my previous blog I discussed the qualities contained within the gaps of the vedic syllables those of fullness and emptiness. Let’s substitute fullness for light and darkness for  emptiness. In doing so we have located the principles of the laws of nature of fullness and emptiness to be found, right before our eyes, literally. We have brought to life, Veda. 

Peer into those vibrating sparkling tiny pixels of light and dark, available everywhere, with eyes open or closed, extending endlessly and know, this is Veda but more important its You. All of It. Without separation. In complete Wholeness. Forever. With no beginning or end. ❤️

Gaps Between Syllables of Vedic Sounds

Ag-Ni is the first word of the RK Veda broken into two syllables. 

Maharishi has discussed how that gap between the syllables has served as a gateway to yet a deeper layer of Veda. In so doing he has revealed the suktas (192 syllables) in each of the 10 mandalas of RK Veda.  This provides a picture of a very full awareness. The fullness of fullness. 

Now, let’s discuss the fullness of emptiness. 

These gaps in the syllables between the sounds of Veda also are separations. Allowing for a pause between the sounds, a pause or collapse containing nothing, emptiness. Looking at Veda from this perspective it can be said to be, the fullness of emptiness. 

In this way the gap serves as both a separation and connection between the syllables. Both modes of function are equally available to one’s awareness, simultaneously. 

So, we have fullness and we have emptiness simultaneously expressed, let’s examine the characteristics of That space, the space between these 2 fields. 

This is a divine force or space both strong enough to hold together each field of fullness and emptiness plus have the compassion to seek to harmonize and honor the integrity of each field. 

Truly a space of unbounded love and strength. 

If I were to assign deities to these 3 fields I would speak of fullness as Vishnu. Emptiness as Shiva. And that, that simultaneously holds and honors those 2 fields together with strength and love as Divine Mother. 

Many teachers and seekers choose one of these 3 camps to build their understanding of consciousness development. In all fairness each system is powerful and will deliver one's awareness to enlightenment. However, the simultaneous grasp of all 3 will yield Wholeness. We owe it to our development to capture full Truth.
