RANDOM SHIT

1.      

p       PLEASE DONT READ THIS BLOG unless you like to read random stuff that dont have anything to do with being a good person, or be succcessful or be rich and so on.

        That awakening is not liner but we can assist its flowering like a gardener.

2.       That sadhana has to be done with a lose fist so that sadhana can change as the being transforms.

3.       Stage 1 of sadhana is usually high energy passion but in Kalyug/scientific logic base world, mainly for acquiring knowledge  for the intellect. It is what Gurdjieff would call the Moving Part of the Intellectual centre – repetition of words, a certain sort of imagination (about others, their teacher/s and esoteric world) and cunningness used in sadhana (as the ‘sly man’ of G)

4.       At some point (god only f** knows) when their Moving Part is now saturated with knowledge yet there is still a sense of emptiness, an absence of a certain grounding at the level of the being. This leads to a practical application of the knowledge in daily life. Some gets events in their lives that forces them to apply it in the knowledge in their lives.

5.       When this kicks in, it allows an understanding that is truer than the knowledge with an understanding that seeps into the body and heart – because now a present moment participates that is beyond time where knowledge resides.

6.       In the search Octave we are at Ma(Mi)

7.       This activity seems to increase the saturation and crystallisation of Hydrogen 24 – hydrogen to point towards prana, a unit of consciousness and not the Hydrogen of chemistry. It increases the vibration (and hence consciousness). The intellect continues to own the ‘view’ but now the Prana 24 starts feeding the Emotional Part of the Intellectual centre – but driven now by the insights that come with the practical application. This is the First Crossing – the Mi-Fa Interval.

8.       These insights also come from the intellect but because of the emotional quality the insight has a  scale beyond knowledge, akin to the difference between understanding sugar in a theoretical manner and actually tasting sugar, bringing a scale to the initial theoretical understanding. Gurdjieff also calls it the Higher Intellectual centre for help – but both lower and higher cannot exist simulataneously so the intellect operates as a toggle between its higher capacity and its mechanical capacity as may be lawfully required (the law being such an amazing mystery). However we can offer a lawful denying to the mechanical keeping a creative tension between opposing forces, the toggle could switch to  the higher capacity state of the Intellect, when the conditions are sacred and in service of the universe or a dancer-lover in the Cosmic lovemaking.

9.       In a way the Intellect is now no longer a wooden Pinochio most of the now and cannot return to it easily unless the forces that wish for our (for now)  evolution require the material of the wooden Pinochio for its work. So machines are not useless, they should assist our growing and not run our lives.  

10.  As the understanding grows the seeker is a Trishanku – between life as a programmed/programmable automaton and being an ‘awake real boy’ Pinocchio.

11.   This is Pa(Fa) the point of Choice. Here the ‘smells’/Sa(Do) of future octaves seduce us with possibilities.

12.  Because of choice, this place is also perilous. One of these is “Spiritual bypassing” – where the seeker imagines that they are awake by adopting the language, tone, or mannerisms of an enlightened persons, teachers and mask insecurities, avoid authentic vulnerability. Often called "spiritual narcissism" (Believing in one’s own spiritual superiority as a way to hide from insecurities or being open and vulnerable without denial of lawful life forces, and not allowing conscious expressions of emotions like anger, envy etc )

13.  Among the other perils is  "spiritual materialism” (where spirituality is offered for a commercial exchange and not driven by spontaneity of the now.)

14.  It is important to know that none of these are ‘bad’. It happens because during the process of arriving here these energies (where ego also partakes of the spirit material like Rahu, Ketu and Bali who stole the nectar from Dhanvantari as he emerged).

15.  Gurdjieff calls these folks as Hasnamuss –  an individual of very high being whose ego took delivery of all the spiritual work of the individual, preventing them flow aligned to the Will of  the Cosmos (Love under Will) and who uses it for selfish, destructive purposes. It is like a Pincochio who becomes a Frankenstein instead of a “real boy”

16.  Another example is Ravana who was Ram’s own Hasnamuss and stole away his soul (Sita) and whom he had to kill with a lot of hardwork. Enroute to that journey he had to kill Bali (the part in him that tasted the nectar during the Samudra manthan) in stealth. That was the only act of inexactitude that Ram did – an interesting insight of spiritual work where regular moral framework is broken to fulfil a larger order of the cosmos. This was explained very nicely by Krishna in the Second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita – something so profound and subtle so early in the book. But once he killed his Bali he suddenly had a powerful Hanuman besides the entire motley crew of the vanara sena. Each stage of Ramayana is really a guide to exorcise the Hasnamuss from within – like Ram had become till the eve of his coronation. His soul was Hasnamuss with a lot of intellectual centre through his teachers like Vasishta and yet his physical dimension/moving centre (Sita) was still attached to the senses through an egoic connection.

This father symbolically was the source – Dashrath – the man who had all the 10  richness of the chariots of existence but without the reins in his hand. The chariots of 5 outer and 5 inner senses. Thought--loop mind, Intellect - decision-making, judgment etc, the sense of "I-ness", the field of memory and sub-conscious mind, Vital Force that powers the entire system.

This was the Sita that  was attracted to ‘golden deers’ representing the power of  the material allure over his spiritual knowledge.

And that part is thus usurped by his Hasnamus part - Ravana. Ram on one hand had to be a pure ‘host’ for hosting Sita back. And Sita had to start her purity process in seclusion and fighting to pass the tests of all the attractions offered by the Ram-Hasnamus, Ravan so when Ram’s being for ready, Sita, the particle of divinity  can rest in Ram’s pure being, after Ravana was killed and then as the devi amplifying Ram’s work as Purshottam.

 

17.  A teacher or guide here will simply advise the seeker to ‘allow’ and watch. This is the very opposite of the shift from the earlier stage where the Sadhana was ‘non-expression’ of negative emotions.

18.  A man needed to cross a dangerous, fast-flowing river to go to see a magnificent Lighthouse about which he had heard about. He gathers sticks, branches, and grass to build a raft. He works hard and safely reaches the further shore. Thinking that the raft saved him, he considers carrying the heavy, cumbersome raft on his back for the rest of his journey. Its heavy it slows him down – but he cant let go because he has seen with his own eyes that the raft got him across the river. Not knowing that the raft was a tool to get there. One must let go of the very methods that brought them to that point or they become barriers to the very Light

19.  Then the question is how does one ‘know’ when one is awake?

20.  When one can see the moon for oneself with one’s own eyes. This is possibly why for example, in Islam Eid is celebrated not on the day as per calendar but when one can clearly see the day1 crescent moon however faint. It prevents self deception.

21.  Awakening is not a liner step by step process. As we reach the note Ni(Si) of  the second Octave of the search, there is an active wait, a longing for the lover to appear.  The emotional centre is now full of love with the unknown – the symbolism in Islam of parda nashin ka ashiq. Its will is now so strong that it can now lay down all weapons for the love to take the dagger and pierce it so Light can enter it. It is only the Lover who can now do it since all weapons have been laid down. Chand Raat of Ramzan Eid. This validation is also the validation where Ram wants to check if Sita has any more elements of the Hasnamuss that he killed.

22.  This critical validation, is Rama’s insistence of the Agni pariksha of Sita – fire being symbolic of Ram’s own sensing of his being through his “Physical body”  and checking if any of the allures of material still has any impact on him or not. He thus not only freed himself but all that he inherited from his father, thereby freeing his father too, and possibly his immediate 6 ancestors before his father (Aja, Raghu, Dilipa, Bhagiratha, Sagara, and Harishchandra) whose own spiritual work shaped his own awakening).. And so Diwali and Chand Raat are similar – one on a no moon based on a locked calendar, another on the first day of the moon, on a locked calendar but giving allowance for the divine to play with the calendar through a moon sighting.
