Study Notes
Manas and the Evolution of Consciousness
- Manas evolves through spiritual practice, leading to the development of feeling, and eventually, a state of being and becoming.
- As manas evolves, the subtle body becomes lighter, purer, and simpler, allowing consciousness to expand and evolve.
Purifying and Simplifying the Subtle Body
- The heart-mind field must be purified to allow consciousness to evolve, otherwise, it's like trying to see the bottom of a muddy lake.
- Cleaning past impressions is necessary for consciousness to evolve.
Holding and Nurturing the Meditative State
- Holding and nurturing the condition received in meditation throughout the day helps regulate and deepen the mind.
- This state of constant awareness or remembrance of the inner state helps keep the canvas of the mind clean and fresh.
The Spectrum of Consciousness
- The vibrational field of the heart and mind spans the subconscious, conscious, and superconscious states.
- As we evolve, our consciousness expands into the subconscious and superconscious realms, traveling through the vast infinity of human potential.
Buddhi and Prayer
- Buddhi becomes more heart-based, and intuition and inspiration develop as we dive deeper into the heart.
- Spiritual practice of prayer helps move from mere intellect to wisdom.
Relaxation and Meditation
- Relaxation and meditation help immerse the entire system in healing energy, leading to a state of absorption in oneself.
The Three Bodies and Evolution
- The three bodies that make up all life forms include the physical body (associated with matter), subtle body (associated with energy and vibration), and the causal body (associated with consciousness).
- Evolution in human evolution refers to the evolution of the subtle and causal bodies, leading to higher levels of consciousness.
Gunas and Levels of Consciousness
- The three gunas (sattva, rajas, and tamas) are present in humans and influence the level of consciousness.
- Each guna is associated with a specific level of consciousness, with sattva being the highest and most pure.
