MIND
MIND Mind very much resembles matter, both in its degrees of density and in its peculiarity of design. That's not surprising since the one derives from the other. We might also say that they are mirror images of one another. Just as matter varies in the size of its conglomerations, from the circumferences of giant stars and galaxies to the infinitely small subatomic world of its constituents, so mind ranges through the levels of experience infinitely above and below consciousness. There is no Not-Mind - not ever - except within the Ultimate Void itself. Hypnosis sheds a faint light on certain levels of consciousness beneath the ordinary. By means of the intense concentration and focusing of attention that hypnosis evokes, we are able to accomplish feats of mind and body that otherwise only yogis know. Hypnosis works by forcing a thread of memory awareness deep into the mind labyrinth, which, however deeply it may penetrate the darkness, is always tied tightly to the ordinary consciousness at the top. Without that Ariadne's thread, the more deeply we were to concentrate on something, the more we would be lost to the world. The more attention we bring to bear on anything, the deeper into a simulacrum of sleep we proceed, as our surroundings and the outside world disappear into this darkness and outer sensations are walled off - presumably to prevent distraction. Since this state of concentration so much resembles sleep, in fact, the slightest lapse of the will sends us drifting towards unconsciousness. Ordinary sleep is a mirror-like repetition of the fragmentation of superconsciousness that we shall see results in abandonment of the self. However, as concentration proceeds ever more inward, the more the inner landscape is illuminated and narrowed. This "inner light" of laser-like consciousness is shared by the vegetable kingdom. (Its character can be recognized in psychedelic intoxication of various kinds). Finally, as we proceed into the unconscious itself we enter a quantum universe of our own. Here we find ourselves in the very "consciousness" of matter itself, with its links to everything in the universe. Presumably, death is but a deeper descent still, a proceeding into the actual heart of Mind, leading into the Void, which is the womb of all manifestations. Ordinary consciousness is obviously the link between higher and lower planes. It is a delicate balance between retreat into self-absorption and abandonment of the self to the sensory experience. It is maintained with great difficulty, for we have a tendency to drift out of it into one or the other of the two diametrically opposed realms of experience that it separates. These realms, of course, are infinitely more attractive than boring, old, routine mind. Within this narrow water-hole of ordinary consciousness, however, lie all the accomplishments and discoveries of human history. Indeed, it is this narrow and unreliable bridge that human society has learned to exploit as "civilization". Unfortunately, it has been examined but superficially and little has been done to stretch its dimensions or protect it from disintegration. Consequently we know almost nothing either of its limitations or its potential powers. Heightened awareness is the opposed of focused attention or concentration. Attention becomes more and more generalized and cognizant of every petal on every flower in the garden, then every vein in every leaf. . . But now, as attention fans out, mind loses its coherency and begins to fragment. Under the influence of psychedelic drugs the attention is so fragmented that it merges altogether with the outer world and the inner self is abandoned to the chaos of the interface. The loss of the inner self, however, is usually accompanied by extreme panic as it attempts to jump from scintilla to scintilla. For a time, the fragmentation of expanding mind can be kept under control by the use of amphetamines or cocaine in ever-increasing dosages. By means of these substances, alertness and intelligence are increased because attention is spread infinitely thin across a wider and wider spectrum of sensory experience coming in from the outer world. The "outer world" includes, of course, the consciousness of one's own body, as well as reflexive self-observation. At the same time, the inner self is being supplied with increased energy and speed too, so that it can maintain consciousness of itself and stave off chaos by racing back and forth around the ever-enlarging periphery of experience. As we are all very well aware, however, this path quickly comes to an end. Fortunately, the heightening of externalized consciousness can be achieved without drugs, through mysticism. The sensory awareness can either be bypassed or used as the vehicle of its own transcendence. If the inner self is voluntarily released to heightened consciousness, which we sometimes refer to as leaving the ego behind in order to enter Nirvana, peace descends at once and chaos is transformed into the so-called "mystical experience." This process, once begun, can continue into such total absorption that the individual consciousness ceases to exist at any point and we could refer to that as a more or less permanent trance.

 |  |  | Mystical Experience: How to Raise an Indigo Child - School of Metaphysics
How does one become a mental gymnast, fluid in thought and expression? Can intelligence be developed? Can intuition be taught? Is mystical experience everyone's future? An urgent need to know these answers is present in the minds of increasing numbers of people. People are waking up, realizing that maturity, wisdom, and self mastery are worthy goals in life. They are redefining life experience beyond the cars they drive, the money they make, and the people they know. In greater numbers they are viewing life as a spiritual journey for Self mastery.

 |  |  | Mystical Experience: Separation from the Physical BodySeparation from
the Physical Body
During the course of meditation, one day you will feel that you have
separated yourself from the body. You will have immense joy mixed with fear;
joy in the possession of a new light, astral body; and fear owing to the entry
in a foreign, unknown plane. At the very outset, the new consciousness is very
rudimentary in the new plane, just as in the case of a pup with newly opened
eyes on the eighth or tenth day on the physical plane. You will feel that you
have a light air body and perceive a rotating, vibratory, limited, astral
atmosphere with illumination of golden lights, objects, beings, etc. You may
feel that you are rotating or floating in the air and consequently there is
fear of a fall.

 |  |  | Mystical Experience: Visions of Lights in MeditationVisions of
Lights in Meditation
Various kinds of lights manifest during meditation
owing to concentration. In the beginning, a bright, white light, the size of a
pin's point will appear in the forehead in Trikuti which corresponds
tentatively to the Ajna Chakra of the astral body. When the eyes are closed,
you will notice different colored lights such as white, yellow, red, smoky,
blue, green, mixed color, flashes like lightning, like fire, burning charcoal,
fire-flies, the moon, the sun and stars. These lights appear in the mental
space, Chidakasha. These are all Tanmatric lights.

 |  |  | Mystical Experience: Introduction to
Tarot The Tarot cards operate on many levels, describing both
internal developments (emotions, thoughts, intuitive feelings) and external
ones (actions and physical events). Think of the complete Tarot as a map where
each card represents a different piece of a jigsaw puzzle. This puzzle
symbolizes the wide variety of possibilities and experiences available to us
all.

 |  |  | Mystical Experience: Mystical Dimension Of
Jewish ThoughtKabbala: Mystical Dimension Of
Jewish Thought
The word Kabbala originally meant
Ôreception' and related to the oral Jewish tradition handed down by Rabbis from
generation to generation. The mainspring of the Kabbala is a deep rooted belief
in a perpetual inter-relationship between God as the infinite power and man in
the physical world as we know it.
Man can get close to God by subduing his own negative
inclinations and bring about spiritual regeneration of mankind, through
prayers, meditation and interpretation of the divine mysteries hidden in the
Torah. Kabbalists emphasise the importance of mystical formulas in the
recitation of prayers.
