Yogananda and the Creative Process

These Biblical words refer to the threefold nature of God as Father, Son, Holy Ghost (Sat, Tat, Aum in Yoga).

God the Father is the Absolute, Unmanifested, existing beyond vibratory creation.

God the Son is the Christ Consciousness (Brahma or Kutastha Chaitanya) existing within vibratory creation; this Christ Consciousness is the "only begotten" or sole reflection of the Uncreated Infinite.

Its outward manifestation or "witness" is Aum or Holy Ghost, the divine, creative, invisible power which structures all creation through vibration. Aum the blissful Comforter is heard in meditation and reveals to the devotee the ultimate Truth.

The threefold nature of God in Hindu scripture is: "Brahma," the creator, "Vishnu," the preserver, and "Shiva," the destroyer-renovator.

The Trinity in Yoga is called: Sat, Tat, Aum or Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It is also known as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The Christ Consciousness" (imminent in vibratory creation. The "Shakti:" Energies or "consorts" of the Trinity, are symbols of "Aum" (Om, Amen) or the Holy Ghost, the sole causative force that upholds the cosmos through vibration (the word).

The Supreme Being or God prior to, or transcendental to nature is often referred to as Pure Consciousness or Spirit.

The Holy Trinity of God is:

God, Prior (outside) of creation or God the Father

God, as creation or first manifestation is God the Son

God, in creation is the Holy Spirit

Sometimes creation or son of God is called the Mother of God or Mother-Nature because all things are born from it.

The son of God also refers to a human who attains God or Self Realization (for as many as shall receive Him); also called Christ-hood.

God, or universal consciousness, has no human attributes. It is pure consciousness in the eternal state of SELF-AWARENESS, not Self Consciousness).

For the Father (Consciousness Spirit) judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the "Son" (Son of God or Christ Consciousness).

                                                             -Jesus, John 5:22

God did not make the world; God became the world (creation).

The many meanings of God:

   The Great One, Divinity or Father

   The Great One Diversity or Creation (Son)

   The Great One Destiny of the Holy Spirit as Mankind

Hua Ching Ni

God does not abandon people. It is people who abandon God.

Hua Ching Ni

Here is an ancient Taoist version or expression of the Holy Trinity of God.

Yang or Spirit Father (Yang at Rest)

Yin or Matter or Son (Reflection of God). (Yang in MOTION)

Tai-Chi the Integration of Spirit and Matter to Form Mankind (a human being) -living animated matter with a soul.

Tai Chi - spirit and matter (energy), the two aspects of Tao (God), united in complete balance and unity.

   Tao is not the name of God

1. 

   Brahma is not the name of God

   Yahweh is not the name of God

   Allah is not the name of God

   God is not the name of God

These are names that only REPRESENT the ETERNAL SELF.

The OUTER CIRCLE around the Tai-Chi symbol represents the ONENESS of all "aspects" and "expressions" contained within.

The "center" of or source of a person's life is consciousness PRIOR to mental activity, also called the Holy Spirit.

 CONSCIOUSNESS in its natural state of ETERNAL SELF-AWARENESS is the heart, center, essence, nucleus, root and crux of all things.

Heaven, the abode of God, is the place where God manifests Him or It Self to the blessed, a condition of grace with God.

Heaven is one of the many synonyms for God, or Self Realization, i.e., spiritual enlightenment, also called Samadhi, Tao Satori, Nirvana, the kingdom of God, etc. etc.

Heaven is not a place; it is a condition and state of existence and being.

The astral plane or astral world is not Heaven. Early Christian mystics refereed to the astral plane as purgatory, the astral plane is a place where the soul understands the lessons it needs to experience and then reincarnates back into the earth plane to experience life, work out Karma, and try again to attain until spiritual enlightenment is attained

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you”.

                                                                                Luke 17:21

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

                                                                                John 3:3

We need to become re-established to our true and natural state of being as a new person as a spiritual being.

Our first birth is to be born into the world.

Our second birth is to be born again, when we returns to our original spirit Self.

To get to heaven is the goal of life. There are many heavens or centers of spiritual consciousness. The 7 chakra's are called spiritual centres.

The highest centre or the attainment of Self-Realization is "above" the lower centers. It is also called Satori, Nirvana, Tao, Paradise, Eden, Christ-hood etc.

Spirit being the only substance that there was when He wanted to

create, since there was no other substance but itself, spirit created all things out of itself.

Thoughts matters, energy, all things, are nothing but the different vibrations of Spirit.

As soon as the Spirit produced out of itself Cosmic Vibrations, (Holy Ghost, Aum, Cosmic Energy), the material cosmos with solid, liquid, and gaseous substances began to form.

After creating the Causal, Astral and Physical vibration, or Holy Ghost, the uncreated, unmanifested Spirit became God the Father. God the father is called the “Sat” in Yoga and is the Transcendental Intelligence, The Holy Ghost, became the consort of God the Father; that is, God the Father existed transcendentally, or outside the vibratory creation as a conscious, separate cosmic consciousness.

The Spirit, as God the Father, divides itself, as God the Father, the Holy Ghost Vibration and the Only Begotten Son, or Christ.

Spirit found that It could not sustain itself just by its inactive omnipresence, so it made itself manifest as the active Christ Intelligence in all vibratory creation, to create, recreate, preserve, and mould according to its divine purpose. The Holy Spirit, Om, is called the only Begotten (Christ) Son. It must be remembered that Christ consciousness in all specks of creation is the only existing reflection of God the Father. Father; hence, Christ intelligence is spoken of as the only begotten Son.

The Christian church has failed to differentiate between Jesus the body and Jesus the vehicle in which the only begotten Son, or Christ Consciousness, was manifested. Jesus Himself said that He was not speaking of His body as the only begotten Son, but of His soul which was not circumscribed by the body, but was one with the only begotten Son, Christ consciousness in all specks of vibration.

“God so loved the world (or matter); that He gave His only begotten Son” to redeem it; that is, God the Father remained hidden as Christ Intelligence in all matter and in all living beings in order to bring all things, by beautiful evolutional coaxing back to His home of All-Blessedness, when they should over-come all mortal tests, and should reincarnate in matter no more; i.e., “go no more out”.

Jesus said, “to all those that received Him, to then He gave the power to become the Sons of God.” The plural number in “Sons of God” shows distinctly from His own lips that not His body but His spirit was the only begotten Son, and all those could become sons of God who could clarify their consciousness by meditation, and receive or in an unobstructed way reflect the power of God. In other words they could be one with the only begotten reflection in all matter and become Sons of God like Jesus.
