Distinguishing the Location of the Conscious Awareness from the Object of Meditation

It is a somewhat frequent occurrence that the instruction to meditate on the space behind the heart, or between the eyebrows is taken to be the meditation itself. There is a difference between where one “seats” one’s consciousness during meditation and the object of the meditation. Sri Aurobindo makes this difference clear. As one gains insight into the internal space within one’s being, it becomes clear that the location of the awareness is something different than the subject upon which one is concentrating or focusing.

The Creation of the Worlds and the Cycles of Evolution

Entropy is a scientific theory that holds that the universe tends towards increasing disorder and dissolution over time, eventually having ordered patterns break down into randomness or chaos, and dissolution. While it is set forth in Western science as the second law of thermodynamics in a very specific way, it has taken on a much broader meaning when it is applied to the creation of the universe and its eventual dissolution. It is one of the key concepts that has ruled Western scientific thinking for a considerable period of time.

The Divine Mother — the Consciousness-Force of the Divine

In his book The Mother, Sri Aurobindo writes: “In all that is done in the universe, the Divine through his Shakti is behind all action but he is veiled by his Yoga Maya and works through the ego of the Jiva in the lower nature.” The Divine Shakti, the creative force of the universe, the power that manifests all, is the Divine Mother. There are both static and dynamic aspects of existence. The static aspect is Ete al, Absolute and unmoving. It supports and contains all, but does not create. The dynamic aspect is the force of creation that acts in the universe.

Distinguishing the Supracosmic Reality from the Supramental Consciousness

The long history of focus by spiritual aspirants on achieving oneness with the Transcendent, the Ete al, while subordinating or outright denying the life of the world, has created substantial confusion about the significance of life, the nature of the manifested universal creation, and the relation of these to the Ete al. Sri Aurobindo clarifies the differences between the Ete al and the consciousness which is responsible for the creation, the supramental consciousness.

Does God Nap?

I once watched a television show about the Holocaust involving a panel discussion of three people, one of whom was an elderly Jewish rabbi. When the moderator asked him the question, “How do you reconcile the notion of a loving God with something as horrible as the holocaust?” the rabbi responded, “God was napping.” I don’t claim to know the mind of God, but I do think I can say with some certainty that God doesn’t take naps.

Random Thoughts on Prayer

What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘prayer’? At its most basic, prayer is simply talking to God. He is also described as a father so you can also think of it as talking to your dad. Think back to when you were a child and how you spoke to your dad. It’s casual and informal but respectful. Know that you can pray to God anywhere and about anything. There is no such thing as telling God something he doesn’t know. He’s not sitting there going, “Hold up, hold up

Evolution of Consciousness

In order to evolve, a power or principle must be first involved. When we say that life evolved out of inanimate Matter, we have to reflect, “how is this possible?” When we examine Matter at the sub-atomic level, we see an incredible power of consciousness at work with very precise and mathematical relationships, balances of positive and negative charges, and cycles of rotation and interaction. Similarly, when we examine the development of Life, we find that every life-form has genetic coding of DNA that builds the precise form and activity of life that has been previously encoded.

A non dual recognition has the potential to trigger massive shifts, on the level of consciousness. So much of these shifts are discussed quite thoroughly in non duality satsang.

Spirituality Transcends All Religions

Many people confuse spirituality and religion and then try to associate various spiritual paths with specific religious traditions. Spirituality, however, is not based in the beliefs, practices, or customary folkways of any religion. Spirituality seeks for direct experience of the greater reality of existence, independent of the mind’s ideas or beliefs, independent of any particular philosophical direction, independent of any emotional or vital relationships.
