With deepest gratitude to MMY and Guru Dev, we wish to correct some Understandings of Brahman we gave here last year. Within the 27 Nakshatra-states, the middle third or 9 central ones are those of Brahma(n), or Light, or Consciousness:
Brahma-Shiva-Shiva (B-S-S) or Mahaturiya Brahma-Shiva-Brahma (B-S-B) or Maharishi ("Brahman") Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu (B-S-V) or Mahadevata ("Krishna") Brahma-Brahma-Shiva (B-B-S) or Mahachandas ("Shiva") Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B) or Solar Angel, Lamp at the Door Brahma-Brahma-Vishnu (B-B-V), or chandas ("U.C.") Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva (B-V-S), or devata ("G.C.") Brahma-Vishnu-Brahma (B-V-B), or rishi ("C.C.") Brahma-Vishnu-Vishnu (B-V-V), or turiya ("T.C.") Within these 9, the centermost one is Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B), the Lamp at the Door, the Solar Angel who resides in the Sacred Heart (Solar Plexus) as the intermediary between the Absolute (Rudra, Shiva, or Purusha) and the Relative (Indra, Vishnu or Shakti). In truth, this is the only state of Consciousness that actually exists -- the supreme radiance of the perfect Now, the juncture- point of Heaven and Earth. From here, we can (eventually) see that all the states that "led" here -- T.C. or "Turiya" (Brahma-Vishnu- Vishnu; B-V-V), C.C. or "Rishi" (Brahma-Vishnu-Brahma; B-V-B) G. C. or "Devata"(Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva; B-V-S), and U.C. or "Chandas"(Brahma-Brahma-Vishnu; B-B-V) are but identification with a time-bound particle or "I" within Our wholeness. We have been approaching the Now from an (unconscious) identification with a particle on the Relative side. But in actuality, there has been a very simple, innocent, unqualified Absolute side of Us approaching this Now as the Wholeness or "container" of the experience(s), in perfect reflection to the Relative side. When our particle-self thinks it is in T.C. (B- V-V), our Wholeness is "Mahaturiya" (B-S-S); when our particle-self attains C.C. or "Rishi" (B-V-B), our Wholeness is Brahman itself: that particle's "Witness," its "Maharishi" (B-S-B); when our particle-self attains G.C. or "Devata" (B-V-S), our Wholeness is that particle's loving "Personal God" or "Krishna-Avatar," its "Mahadevata" (B-S-V); and when our particle-self attains U.C. or "Chandas" (B-B-V), our Wholeness is that particle's "Shiva," its "Mahachandas" (B-B-S). These two "sides" -- the Absolute and the Relative, the Whole and the Particle -- culminate in their fusion in the mid-most state of Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B). The simple, ordinary, very quiet thought we had from the Absolute side with reference to nurturing our particles creates the intensely devotional appreciation of that thought from the Devata or sensory particle side, and the corresponding display of that thought as the Reality of the Outer, so that the rishi, devata, and chandas are fully appreciated as OneSelf. Thus we can say that C.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Brahman-Self; G.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Krishna- Self, and U.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Shiva-Self -- all culminating in ourSelf as Brahma(n), the Perfect Light of the Sacred Heart. This is our natural, simple, a priori state of consciousness. This is what we have always been, and what we always will be, regardless of the stories our Wholeness and our particles have been telling us/themselves. >From here, the process continues -- with any and every particle we find within ourSelf. We first find ourselves identifying unconsciously with that particle, giving that particle unconscious sovereignty -- at this time the particle is in Ignorance in our Brahman. Then, we realize that this is not Us, but a particle within Us -- we then become that particle's Witness, its conscious Brahman - - while it is identifying with C.C. Then, we give that particle our loving attention, warming it up into its a priori bliss, becoming its personal God or Avatar or Krishna, while it is identifying with G.C. Then it perceives its ultimate identity with us in Shiva/U.C., and we finally come back to primordial Radiant Self. We are constantly throwing off particles of not-self, and re-integrating them back into ourSelf, as pulsations of our Now into all 9 (and eventually 27) states -- this is how we learn to appreciate ourSelf and our various qualities...
