A spiritual Perspective IV




Some spiritual insights
The egoist needs to recognize the limitations of the ‘I’ consciousness and look beyond it, by starting to embrace the ‘we’, then the ‘many’ and finally the ‘all’.
We need to live right, to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done; to respect all life; to share our fortune with those in need, to keep life simple and to let Spirit freely express.
The yogi emphasizes the inner perception of God through meditation. 
“Man must become internalized in soul conscious, transforming his little ego into the divine Self, the Soul.”
                                                     Paramahansa Yogananda


Internalize awareness
Once the mind is internalized and withdrawn from its identification with the world and with the body, the inner light comes into clear and steady focus. The inner sound becomes all absorbing. AUM fills the brain, its vibration moves down the spine, bursting open the door of the heart’s feeling, then flowing out into the body. The whole body vibrates with the sound of Aum.

Gradually with ever deeper meditation the consciousness expands with the sound of Aum, moving beyond the confines of the body into infinity. Then we realize our oneness with the all existence as Aum, the cosmic vibration.

Aum amen is the aspect of the Christian Trinity which is known as the Holy Ghost, the comforter or word of God.

By still deeper meditation, one expands his awareness in Christ Consciousness which underlies the manifest universe.

By still deeper meditation, one goes beyond creation and units his consciousness with that of the Father, in yogic terms, with Satchidananda, the ever Existing, and ever new Conscious Bliss.

Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
                                                1 Corinthians 3:`16 KJV 2000

Here we realize, that we are not mere human beings aspiring to Divine status, but that we are spiritual beings temporarily involved in realm of nature.
