Binding & Liberating Nature of the 3 Gunas of Prakriti #265
Sri Krishna’s take on the three gunas of nature, spoken of in the Bhagavad Gita, is complete and well-explained. It is put in terms of those who are suffering and enjoying under the regime of the three gunas, and how such conditioning shapes the mind and follows it into cycles of rebirth. This insight encourages the awakening soul to transcend the gunas, and all of nature, in order to attain samadhi. Once this feat is accomplished, even returning to nature and the body will prove beneficial, especially for all beings still struggling in this web of maya.

Brahmachakra #232
From the ancient rishis of old India, in early Vedic times, comes an extensive rendering of the multi-layered complexities of existence like no other. The Brahmachakra, with its infinite levels of expression, that revolves again and again within the vast and boundless territories of Consciousness, covers all manifestation of God with form. Even the machinations of maya find their place herein, revealing that there is simply nothing outside of the pale of Absolute Reality. An in-depth study of this dharmic wisdom chart and its teachings of old will verily erase misconceptions from the human mind, leaving it in the know of the powers and abilities of Nondual Awareness — the Wheel of Eternal Life concerning all the many worlds, not just the wheel of life and death here on earth.

India’s “Mind Only School” Perspective #176
One of the principles that India figured out a long, long time ago has been overlooked by the other religions of the world, that being that all and everything in the worlds of name and form has come out of the mind, at cosmic, collective, and individual levels. This has happened via the mind’s inscrutable power of projection. In this wisdom chart, the seeds that are present in the mind are seen to be stored at gradated levels inside of huge repositories of condensed thought-power. A mature ideology such as this far outstrips those theories proposed by Scientific Evolution, as well as Theology’s 7-Day creation theory.

Kalpa — The Concept of Time in Vedic Cosmology #78
For the higher elucidation of the Western cultures in modern times, the dharmic teaching of kalpas is offered forth so as to inform the people of the ancient rishi’s way of looking at time — predominantly that it is a concept in the mind, and ultimately illusory. Also, its appearance, real or not, rolls on far longer than even the western evolutionary theory assigns to the age of the physical universe. The kalpa reckoning takes into account how time expands inside of worlds that are contained within the mind, and in God’s Mind (Mahat). Thus, it broadens the human thinking process far beyond the short-sighted conventional ideas of a very young Western scientific view.

Lord Brahma’s Universal Projection #83
The dharmic teachings coming from ancient Vedic times are replete with wisdom concerning both God with Form, and God beyond form — what was termed Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman in those times. Importantly, the connections between the two, i.e., God with attributes and God beyond attributes, proved the whole point of Absolute Existence to the ancients, described then as a single state of Consciousness that possessed the ability to bifurcate into two, then express Itself through the many — all without ever separating Its Essence in any way. Thus, when even gods and illumined souls take births in the outer realm with humankind, the intrinsic oneness of all paths and peoples gets well acknowledged under the auspice of Lord Brahma.

Mind as the Kingdom of Heaven Within #254
Many beings these days still look upward into the skies when they think of or refer to God and Heaven. This is just misdirection, plain and simple. But it does raise the question as to where heaven truly exists. According to the luminaries of this world, it lies within us. Within could not be the physical body, which is filled with stuff that is not heavenly at all. Within could not be the skies above either, which are most decidedly external in nature. According to Indian religion and philosophy, the heavenly realms, in abundance, all lie within the mind, and do so at cosmic, collective, and individual levels of existence — as this wisdom chart reveals for deep scrutiny and satisfaction.

Nirguna & Saguna Brahman #134
God with form, and God without form, is a fascinating subject. Along with bondage and liberation, it is also one of the subtlest dualities to meditate upon. Few beings spend any time concentrating of formlessness; there are just too many allurements in the realms of name and form that are more attracting. Such beings would rather “eat sugar than be sugar,” as the philosophical term states. But the knowers of formless Reality respond that these souls do not know the Bliss of being sugar. Whatever the case may be, pondering Reality beyond attributes (gunas) while experiencing that selfsame Reality with attributes explains the bliss of the realized soul. From Brahman, to the Trinity, to the realms of higher and lowers deities, and all the way out to the physical universe, the Light of Divine Awareness shines. It is all a matter of how many or how few coverings are in the way of the seer of Truth.

Points About Brahman #259
According to the Upanisads As a companion chart to Principles of Brahman, #311, this wisdom offering fleshes out the more qualified nondual area of Absolute Reality as It manifests in the multi-layered worlds of name and form. The three famed and well-thought levels of mind of Vedic cosmology are brought in here, showing that cosmic mind, collective mind, and the individual mind, though intrinsically connected, are nonetheless operating at their own specific levels of existence, each replete with many divine attributes which are Brahman’s own.

Quintessential Quintuplications #86
The crucially important but almost entirely forgotten dharma teaching of Panchakarana — how manifestation from the internal source proceeds outwards to the gross physical universe in sets of fives — gets presented in this helpful chart. It shows all dimensions of this process of expression, from subtle principles to the five elements, as well as other sets of quintuplications that both serve and support each other in the interim. With this ancient system brought back into contemporary consciousness, dedicated meditators can “connect the dots” leading from outer life to inner existence, like lost souls following a trail of bread crumbs back to the Source.

Sankhya Acharyas #207
When speaking about the masterful philosophy titled Sankhya, it must be done in terms of millennia rather than centuries. That is, even before the time of Sri Krishna, this great truth system was known and utilized by ancient rishis. For this reason, and unfortunately, both the scriptures of Sankhya and its founders as well have disappeared for the most part, leaving only a few names and, thankfully, a small host of wisdom teachings from that darshana. In this wisdom chart some of those hoary names of the past are gathered, along with some quotes and comments on its agelessness and profundity.

Shuddha, Ashuddha, & Shuddhashuddha Tattvas #222
Tattvas are important of note in all Indian philosophies. There is no single word in English to indicate their presence in life. “Insentient Principles” may come the closest to explaining them, and if this is understood, then the human mind will not mistake them for what is actually Sentient, i.e., Brahman, God, Allah, Almighty Father. In other words, all that exists in name and form in time and space is an expression of Reality; it is not sentient. Being an expression, it is a tattva, like the Great Mind, ego, mind, senses, the five elements, etc. These expressions fall either closer or further from the Sentient Source, and since they do, they are seen as being pure, mixed pure/impure, and impure. This wisdom chart reveals this gradated hierarchy among insentient principles, all of which should be utilized for reaching and gaining union with the single, Sentient Soul.

Srsti Rahasya — Tantra’s Secret of Creation #98
All of the religious traditions of the world possess some system or ideology that proposes what the origins of life are and where they come from. Of them all, India stands out and is head and shoulders beyond the others, mainly because its cosmology is both sensible to the intellect and philosophically sound. In India’s well-thought, deeply meditated systems of cosmology there is no conjecture based in hope or sentimentality, no faint-hearted appeal leveled towards attracting the soul towards the phenomenal and the occult. There is no force utilized based in fear of damnation or alienation. There is no immortality, either on earth or in heaven. There is just the Eternal beyond them both. Mother India has many darshanas, clear pathways to Freedom, and these the Divine Mother reveals to souls seeking the highest Refuge. With any one of these, like Tantra’s Srsti Rahasya, Origins both physical and spiritual will be plumbed, resulting in the full understanding of the presence and meaning of all worlds and the beings who abide in them.
