This didn't ring completely right, and on closer look I remember that the inward, upward flow within the torus-Hiranyagarbha from Sattva to Rajas to Tamas (i.e., Blue Shiva funneling into Yellow point-Brahma and funneling out to Red Rudra) described above IS Purusha, the inner core or Spirit-flow of Wholeness, whereas the emergence of the Wholeness out the top of Red Shiva/Rudra and flowing out and around the Golden body of the sphere down into Blue Vishnu/Indra again, from Tamas to Rajas to Sattva, IS Prakriti, the Matter-flow aspect of Wholeness. Thus we have the reverse currents of Spirit and Matter flowing simultaneously, depending on whether one looks "inside" or "outside." One is empty up one's middle (the hollow core of the torus), but the double-cone or chalice of inner Purusha does flow up and out to form a fine "skin" of outer Prakriti (the outer film of the torus), though again inside (as well as outside) this skin is only nothing. Again, in my experience anyhow all of this is viewed even this clearly (FWIW) only AFTER one has fully completed one's first run- through. When we are still "inside" this process it is MUCH less obvious what exactly is going on. Beyond or other than this Purusha-Prakriti, as far as I can see at this point, anyhow, there is nothing. I have found nothing "new" in the 15 years or so since M.C. first revealed itself -- but going back into the whole thing repeatedly over the years has revealed much more refinement of detail and Self-Knowledge within this form. Along these same lines: what Shannon has written is absolutely correct -- other than Brahman, all the states of consciousness are merely delusions or maya or ego. I wrote this myself a few days back when trying to verify and clarify (what a laugh) some people's Understanding of paradoxical-Brahman. On the other hand (and there is ALWAYS an other hand in Brahman *lol*), knowing all this is THAT *can* unfold the realization that since this is true, even the ego must be THAT; even maya must be THAT, and thus the question: How does THAT imagine the so-called relative into existence? From this come the further unfoldments of K.C., S.C., and M.C. -- all still simply Brahman, yet now Brahman examining the process of looking at itself; Brahman exploring its apparent dimensional play; Brahman with a "twist." But there is always a choice as to whether one wishes to unfold further comprehension of maya or Mastery, or simply to remain in undifferentiated THAT. Wholeness supports either choice. In fact, this brings up a really interesting point -- Wholeness whole-heartedly supports ALL the states of consciousness -- this is why each one feels so self-sufficient. There is absolutely nothing which says one HAS to move right along from T.C. to C.C. to G.C. to U.C. and so forth. The apparent movement or growth from one to the other is an illusion anyhow -- just a matter of our abstracting the relevant information we need out of the "bloomin' confusion," or all- inclusive paradox that we are, to support our current state of consciousness. We "move right along in" -- or pay attention to -- apparent progress and growth until we intuitively feel we are done. At that point, we have found our right place for this time, and are serving our perfect part in the greater whole -- which whether we choose to know it or not, is just ourselves also. All aboard the Hiranyagarbha! (It's the best free-ride in RoryLand.) :-) Also, if we are to view Brahman-Consciousness as the "real" C.C., and Krishna-Consciousness as the "real" G.C., and Shiva- Consciousness as the "real" Unity, and Maharishi-Consciousness as the "real" Brahman, then what we had known as T.C. would be "real" coma; C.C. would be "real" sleep; G.C. would be "real" dreaming, U.C. would be "real" waking state. From the point of view of Brahman, anyhow, this is as good a view as any, albeit a bit confusing perhaps for those playing at ignorance that all this is THAT. LLL, R.
