A PRE- MEDIT SHARING THAT SETS THE GROUND -TILLS THE SOIL SO TO SAY- FOR THE MEDITATION THAT FOLLOWS
Welcome to another beautiful occasion ... we can call it Buddha
Purnima or the Wesak medit or more simply –an homage to light and its
'element' fire & all that it implies! Indeed homage to humanity becoming
one with light and fire and all it implies!
For those who participated in the Akshaye triti, it is a sort of continuation; and for others it is a
very auspicious occasion for both- self personally -and for humanity. The
difference between the two occasions is subtle… in Akshaye triti we
as a group hosted an event for humanity…there was a somewhat unknown factor… it
was indeed a preparation for this… and yes I am sure other groups must
have contributed in their own unique ways like we did especially through receiving the second coming of the
waters! Here- in Buddha Purnima we join many others …worldwide… in a much
celebrated human and esoteric event … and indeed this joining ‘hands’
with all… this oneness with all humanity …is an integral part of today’s
session. Also in Akshaye we invoked the Supreme Yin –feminine aspect- Shakti
-Energy through the symbolic element of water; and today we invoke the Supreme
Yang- male - Shiva- Awareness as light and fire. Yet one cannot be without the
other so while our focus is on one, or the other, in each session, we are in
homage to both in both! To love, wisdom, and its divine will…
I will speak briefly on what
Wesak is, what Buddha Purnima is really about ...do listen meditatively because
this background always enables the meditation; its like the tilling of the soil
on which the medit takes deeper root ...so I can keep the med literally
‘light’...(pun intended!)…scatter the words lightly...and use the power of
symbols and images beyond words...beyond the intellect. So yes, listening
meditatively means paying full attention, yet lightly… not seeking so
much ‘to understand’… not grappling with Q’s… but like hearing music or doing darshan or indeed doing 'trataka'…focusing
on a flame- not trying to understand the flame or learn about it but just
a rapt attention... thereby allowing the flame to transfer its attributes into
you. Closing your eyes will help – as the conscious analyzing mind rests in
that action- and the subconscious accepting mind is freed to translate ‘words’
into their wordless essence deep within you! It’s almost like seeds being
scattered-into you… taking root somewhere… and over time becoming your
‘knowing’! You may then read about it in a book or hear it expressed somewhere
sometime... and feel... feel a sense of ah yes I understand…I know
this…

Historically Buddha Purnima celebrates Gautam Buddha’s birth, day of
enlightenment, and death; a deeper message in this being that this is inherent
for all who are born! It whispers to us that in our birth -individually and
as the human race – is enlightenment inherent! As is ‘death’! Not only physical death...but what Buddha
really died into - eternal light… and its deathlessness indeed! Thus ‘death’ as
in going beyond death; a death that renders death as null and void; indeed it
refers more to the expansion from
indivuated personal self into becoming one with eternal infinite
universal consciousness!! And that’s
what we gather here for today…to celebrate, tap into, pay homage to, and
emanate for all- the ‘fire’ of this death- which grants eternal life.
‘Buddha’ the word or name means enlightened one (in-lightened) as
in literally ‘filled with light’; Buddha also means ‘No self’ ...the light of
awareness and the infinity bestowing attribute of fire… having erased the
personal identity that separates you from the universal light… that you already
are!
Thus Buddha Purnima or Wesak doesn’t only celebrate ‘Gautam’ Buddha…
who was one of the humans who attained this Buddhic consciousness …one who
completed the human game… one who
fulfilled the highest human potential, indeed fulfilled its destiny for
spirit! Indeed whom we know as ‘Gautam Buddha’ is beyond the Buddhic plane now…
so really today we celebrate Buddhic Consciousness itself; we celeberate an
aspect of consciousness which (simply put)
we can call ‘pure awareness’ …symbolized by light… fire … and at its full strength
refers to Shiva!
There have been many other Buddha’s-
many world teachers & founders of major religions embodied this
state of consciousness. Both Buddha and Christ refer to the complete
embodiment of this consciousness- one can view them as different doors if you
like! These were not their personal names- which were Gautam and Jesus- with
the words Buddha and Christ referring to this Buddhic/Christ consciousness!
Other humans also tap into this plane… those who discover new inventions… poets
and authors of profound material… world figures like Gandhi, Luther etc who tap
into ideas and the strength to enable oneness for humanity…
The ‘Wesak’ ceremony, has got
its name from the vaisakhi month in which it occurs and thus the Wesak valley
in the Himalayas where it occurs. It is the time of the Taurus Full Moon – a time when Earth-
the material plane symbolized by Taurus- receives the highest light quotient
from this plane of Light -our source and goal! All festivals (western or
eastern) are special portals- openings when the ‘universe’ floods us with
its/our different aspects- so that even in the game of separation we remain
connected to these aspects of self that we really are! For example, Christmas
emanates love… Diwali celebrates abundance… Holi the infiniteness of life etc
etc… and these portal days were made into ‘festivals’ so that humanity could
focus on these qualities, on the essence and thus avail of them or tap more
powerfully into them! And today is about Light! Awareness! It is when we are
flooded with the highest quotient of Light… and its attributes… and thus it is
especially auspicious to meditate and honor light today. However whether you do
or not- the light (or essence of different festivals on festival days)
permeates you….unconsciously or consciously…
through day-
to- day life… through sleep states and yes through the conscious focus of
celebrations or meditation or gatherings it builds up …one harnesses more… for
self and thus for all …and ‘for all’…oneness with all… is what
today is about! Indeed Buddha and Christ come together in this sacred
ritual… symbolic of west and east; symbolic of wisdom (Buddha) and Love (Jesus)
symbolic of both aspects of Light. If you think about it in day to day ways- understanding implies
love… love implies understanding surely?
Together they imply the will of god or Divine Self… the divine
game plan to experience and indeed amplify both …through the human experience!
Buddhic Consciousness does not unravel in humans until
one is deeper into their spiritual path … many lives are spent exploring
separated self till we begin to regain our true consciousness and indeed
contribute to it infinite enhancement.
Many humans are increasingly tapping into it, many are established in
it, many are in touch with states even beyond it… but now humanity ready as whole
is ready to move into this consciousness- our heritage- our source or goal… and
that’s what today is really about… to enable all, as all enable us; for
us to gather as groups- harness the buddhic consciousness strongly enough to
anchor it for humanity! To bring in the new messiah- Buddhists call the new
messiah Maitreya- feminine Buddha - implying the yin yang whole ness of the new
human; Hindus call the new avatar Kalki- which actually refers to each and
every one of us who flower through ‘time’ and space experience… thru the yuga’s
of increasing separation… through the much maligned kali yuga- actually the
finale to precceed the homecoming....to become a Buddha or Christ each! To
regain our Buddhic consciousness!
Our contribution as a group was
first through the yin element of water… and now through the yang element of
fire… agni… as it symbolizes Light and the Buddhic plane and its higher aspect
Shiva awareness in ways that would take us hours if not days and life times to
truly understand wholly!! Thus we use a symbol- fire -and focus on it knowing
its deeper aspects transfer to us wordlessly…
*****
So … a little about the Buddhic Consciousness-plane of Light-
that today is all about…let this be the deeper fertile soil on which your
meditative input will flower. It is
referred through many terms-so
you may know it as Super consciousness,
objective consciousness(physics)
, cosmic or God consciousness or
even as Christ consciousness (the new age term )…but either way it refers
to the consciousness of humans who has
become one with light –awareness- its attributes- its truth! When mankind
returns to source- the plane of light from where we descended/entered the
game…but adding to it our unique spark… adding to it luminosity of our own! It
is not the final stage of evolution…indeed there are many states .higher’
than…to become one with Shiva awareness and Shakti beingness and non beingness.
Buddhic Consciousness
(root of the word is from two Latin words "con" –become one with; and
"scio" - to know; thus it literally means “become one that we
know-become That-That ness! )can also be called or viewed in terms of a
plane/dimension/frequency- (the 5th to 6th - but
don’t get caught in numbers because different systems are used) or in
body terms as the Buddhic body, Christ body, bliss body! For my
regular meditators it refers to what we call the spiritual body- beyond higher mental! And as
you well know through those meditations- we are always connected to it- and it
is the body of union or ‘at –one- ment’ with light- and thus its bliss. This is
why term Buddhi- actually refers to this Buddhic plane of consciousness- and
its stillness and reason due to the larger macro view…to the combined yin yang
approach …to wisdom not intellectual; and is different from the manas the
limited human mind. In mind terms this plane refers to the universal
mind…where all humanity is
evolving towards. See this through a diagram of a large X with the
partitions /separation dissolving beyond the cross….into the formless boundary
less Buddhic plane/consciousness/ body/mind…
I
Universal Self
Manas X
Buddhi
i
individuated-personal self
Thus becoming this consciousness …reaching this plane…embodying this
body is called awakening (to light)
or enlightenment (filled with universal light) or ‘liberation’ ( from
limited individuated self)…and naturally implies experiencing its attributes … awareness of
all that is… thus its wisdom and stillness; oneness with all… thus love…oneness
with Divine self thus oneness with Divine will. Thus Buddhic consciousness,
symbolized by light and its element of fire implies:
-Expansion of identity beyond
individuality – merger with Self - expansion or freedom from the separative ignorance of personal
consciousness/and the game of adhrama to oneness with Divine self- Dharma-
universal consciousness! In deeper terms it is the move from I am God or I am
That or I am the tree, the flower, the universe to God I am.. .That I am… the
tree I am… this is a very subtle yet very potent shift…
-Expansion to oneness
with ‘others’- with family, friends, larger milieu,
through day -to day life, through marriage, groups etc; to deeper oneness with humanity through satsangs
and the larger picture of spiritual growth;
to the deepest state of union…
merger… at-one-ment with all that is (the oneness I am talking about is not
intellectual- but in analogy like you shampoo each strand of hair lovingly with
care- not as different hairs which you have to look after- but as your one head
of hair! In this expansion you naturally …automatically…. Move into a state of
compassion and love!
-Expansion to oneness
with fire… call it God or Divine selves will…and its game plan; thus automatically into a
state of empowered surrender; automatically into its stillness; automatically
into its creative state of passion….and straddling both action in
inaction or vice versa; automatically into propensity to remove the old and redundant
towards infinite growth and eternal life! (Kali or archangel Michael);
automatically understanding its inherent friction as existence (Mythologically represented
by naradmuni) not conflict!
-Expansion to oneness
with light itself - its knowing –wisdom- gnosis- - through oneness with…;
this knowing is not ‘understanding’…its
not psychic ability…its one with light and all it reveals…its universal truths.
Masters, gurus speak from here …inspired writings …people who shape world
…inventions… tap
into this. This oneness with, this pure knowing is actually
difficult to describe …its like trying to describe music to a deaf man…I have
no way to explain it as it is beyond words…so the best I can put it into words…
from my personal experience… is that you don’t assimilate or understand things…
you just become one with them… so you ‘know’ it more powerfully than through
external senses. I cannot actually say I am ‘seeing’ or hearing’ things…but
more that I am becoming one with….alas our language is not geared… while I may
use words “higher’ …“expanding,”…its actually about going within…to a point;
Light is not like light we know…gold silver etc… more like crystal clarity…
Here we use the inner five senses- Buddhic sight is Divine Vision…
the all seeing ness as light itself… direct knowing… perception within ;
Buddhic hearing is that all important yet subtle… comprehension; Buddhic touch/
feeling – is compassion -empathy- healing- oneness for the whole as a whole ;
Buddhic taste and smell… is in-tuition
…which literally means in touch with the ideal…with the essence beyond apparent
form; indeed what we call our sixth sense is Buddhic consciousness’s primary
sense!
So beloveds, Buddha Purnima celebrates this state… inherent for all!
This is where Jesus, Buddha others reached - ‘men’ …from our history who played the game of
individuation & separation and regained their source or goal; not
mythological ideals or avatars…thus
today’s meditation is our
-Dedication
to this light- fire- radiance- its attributes….for self …and humanity;
dedication to touching our inherent divine potentials …our destiny as ‘man’ …
-It is about
this macrocosmic light …fire… being anchored in the microcosm…
human body!! This is a very important aspect of today’s meditation-
because we have to prepare our human bodies to be able to hold this
consciousness towards experiencing the magnified human experience on earth…not
only as ethereal beings!
-It is about creating a grid
of Light… with Light Workers all over the earth ;
connecting the unique spark/light of every human to every human….so see this in
your minds eye…see this vision…of countless sparks connecting with each other
creating a sacred grid…a sacred
vortices…a sacred Chalice….
-In meditation we do this
beyond words- beyond intellectual understanding…in ‘real’…
in buddhic consciousness ways!
-In
gatherings we unite with light workers, and in acting as one…we amplify the
potency and magnify our power
-Know many have touched
this buddhic consciousness, many are established, many touching higher, many
established higher -each ‘one’ enabling each one…Let his be the conscious minds fertile food which will allow the
symbols within our meditation to work…the words really are meaningless…the real
work is done through the silence between them…from where they arise…
Come beloveds, shut your eyes, and allow the music to permeate you…as we go into meditation... (MEDIT TRANSCRIBE POSTED AS THE NEXT POST)
