Nice! We can perhaps say that there are several stages of recognition of a thought (particle)-- first, being bound into unconscious identification with the thought (unrecognized Brahman and particle in ignorance); second, recognition that the thought is not the totality of Who We Are (recognized Brahman with particle in Witness mode) (and this Understanding might correlate well with and result from Tom's realization that "every thought is an addiction"); third, paying loving attention to the thought, enlivening it into its pristine devata-nature (recognized Krishna with particle in god- conscious mode); fourth, quickening it still further until we see ourSelf in it, and it in Us (recognized Shiva with particle in Unity); fifth, back to center with "there is and has ever been only One" (rishi, devata and chandas are again identical). As an interesting aside, we've noted that the centermost nakshatra is Brahma-Brahma-Brahma; i.e., rishi, devata and chandas are One as Brahma(n), the eternal Now, perceived as a kind of supernal Self- radiance (Brahma being the Light of Consciousness). However, the nature of consciousness is to pulsate out from this Now-point further and further backwards (and forwards) in spacetime to embrace more and more of not-Self into Self (thus Shiva/Unity, Krishna/G.C., Brahman/C.C., and so on). Growth is built into the system, for the *only* place at which the two ends of this pulse are as thoroughly fulfilling as the centerpoint is when the whole of the 27 Nakshatra-states are spanned: for the very first one, Conception, is Vishnu-Vishnu-Vishnu (rishi, devata and chandas are One as Love-Being), and the last one, Dissolution, is Shiva-Shiva-Shiva (rishi, devata and chandas are one as Utter Bliss). These three points are the only ones (on this "map" at least) where rishi, devata and chandas are identical. It is here we have the full embrace of Sat-Chit-Ananda or Love-Light- Laughter, and the simultaneous Understanding of true transcendence, that We are none of these; we are Unqualified. The "mystery of the 28th Nakshatra"! :-D To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
