First meditation using the Technique of the Presence : Tuesday, February 6th - 7h00 AM, France
Some preliminary thoughts concerning the "next revelation" (forgive this glamorous presentation!) :
This revelation could concern the very Technique (the one of the Presence) we use in this meditation. I realized one aspect of the key we are looking for was maybe in this meditation itself : The next step for mankind should be a tremendous change concerning the STANDPOINT.
The key remains in the following passage of the Purusha Sukta :
(The text is a hymn from the Yajur Veda called the “Purusha Sukta”, meaning “The utterance of the Cosmic Person”. It is one of the main vedic hymns.)
1st stance :
Sahasra Sirsha Purushaha
Sahasraksha Sahasra Pat
Sa Bhumim Viswato Vritwa
Atyatishtat Dasangulam
Translation :
Sahasra = one thousand; Sirsha = head; Purusha = Person. Sahasra = one thousand; Aksha = eyes; sahasra = one thousand; Pat = feet. Sa = He; Bhumim = the Earth Globe; Viswato = in all directions; Vritwa = having surrounded. Atyatishtat = He stood beyond; Dasa (ten) + Angulam (units) = ten units.
Meaning :
The Purusha (the Cosmic Person) has thousands heads, thousands eyes, thousands feet. He penetrated the globe of creation (Bhumim), which He surrounded in all its dimensions. He stood then 10 units beyond these dimensions (i.e. He represents 10 units more than the creation).
(Extract from discourses of E. K. Krishnamacharya)
(note: this should be studied according to the graphic called "The perfect 10"
and the graphic called "The constitution of the Great Maharishi"
This text is the purest expression of the Presence. It concerns the Cosmic Person but also by analogy our Earth Logos. When one realizes the Presence exists through the billions of eyes of animals, into the moving of the tree's leaves, into the look of our human brothers, into the contact of one's skin with a mineral, then we begin to understand that the Great Life is above all ATTENTION.
ATTENTION is, according to Pythagorean teachings, the life of the monad focused on a specific object. In psychology the most recent researches on attention permitted to prove that consciousness is a consequence of attention brought on a specific object : if no attention, no consciousness of the surrounding or inwards wolrd. THIS is a step towards a new revelation. When you realize the Monad, this thing so far from our everyday life understanding and perception, is however present at each moment into us, through our attention (in fact it is the attention itself), then you realize something of a paramount importance. But as the monad consciousness is a cosmic shared one, we can say that through our simple attention, the Purusha itself is experiencing life on its creation, our Earth globe.
ATTENTION/FATHER + OBJECT/MATTER = CONSCIOUSNESS/SON.
And there we enter into the matter of STANDPOINT. If we correctly understand that our Logos is experiencing its creation through the attention of the living beings, then we see the whole five kingdoms as the eyes, the heads, the feet of Him. So it becomes possible to understand from His Standpoint (in due limits) what maybe group consciousness. Just try to occupy by imagination the position of our Logos (it won't harm !) : you are looking at your creation through the thousands of eyes, and you are perceiving it with many other senses, from various levels, and this happens via the sutratma, this extension of yourself (the Logos) into all the directions. Each group of your senses are only directed towards the other parts of yourself. And you are waiting with patience that something happens during billions of years. And one day (a divine day) you feel something into your attention that has changed. You feel a kind of pressure and effort, and your heart begins to burn, for you understand some of your senses are beginning to watch in another direction, they try to watch towards yourself, the One Unique Person. First they are isolated attempts, but it's really a good step. Then after another thousands of year, another pressure attracts your attention : the latter is now like a eye which is trying to see you !! not only some cells, but really an organ! an inner organ is trying to watch you, the One Person.
This is group consciousness.
And the beginning of the most important event for a planetary consciousness: the first steps of the substance He tried to redempt towards an identification with Himself. (obviously there must exist other major events !!)
This is the question of STANDPOINT : group consciousness may only exist only if we begin to decentralize the group, only if the latter is able to see himself as an organ of the unique Person, among other organs, carrying His very life via the group attention. Then the group self importance and self centralization may dissapear and die for the it won't be anymore his own center of attention. And then the group will be ready for initiation.
This changing of Standpoint is the only way to reach Brotherhood, for you can't imagine to be separated if you try the logoic point of view : is it possible to reject one's own eye or hand ? Let's try to perceive the group as a eye of the Purusha, is there no change ?
