The Transcendental State:

It might be a good time for this issue to be aired. The Transcendental State is not well understood or easily recognized even for New Ager’s to actually know it exists or what it is…

Before I go into what it is let us look at an arbitrary statistic… it is believed that 1 in 10,000,000 people achieve enlightenment.

Essentially, those of you who are familiar with Bruce Moen’s Quadrilogy are aware of his ‘Curiosity’ - cosmograph… in it a single probe returns to its source on its own… this is the Transcendental Experience… a probe returning and establishing a ’Yoga’ with its source.

The planet has a population of 6,812,200,000 which means that at this instant there are 6812 Self-realized beings on the planet.

6812 beings have successfully returned to the source…

Unfortunately, I have found no statistic which establishes how many of these 6812 are capable of a coherent explanation of the state… let alone a procedure for teaching others to attain the state… therein lie the rub…

Case in point: Ramana Maharshi became enlightened as a teenager, going into a state of oneness and bliss… but was unable to speak for two years…
The story includes exploitation by one spiritual manager collecting money in connection with access to Ramana… thus creating a pall of distrust around the personage… fortunately, this was resolved… but the dilemna for the seeker of true teachers this is a big problem…

What is the Transcendental state? It is knowing that God is Immanent… always there not needing anything or anyone… when the spiritual aspirant achieves ‘Yoga’… the aspirant has Transcended… and becomes God… that is the long and the short of it…

How do you do this? Well, that can be a big problem… Or no problem at all… the usual paradox… it depends on whether you are a pure heart or not..

Seraphis1, How did Ramana Maharshi express this enlightenment? Do you have any idea about this experience?
I beleave enlightenment is a personal growth experience and only valuable to the one experiencing it and others of his "disk" as Bruce calls it. Why would people give Money? Thats like giving money to the church. I don't get it. You cant buy enlightenment, or for that matter access to God. Although that seems to be the sales pitch of many cults and religions, including those selling the possibility of enlightenment, like how you mention in your post by the manager.

You check this on wikipedia… it took many years for him to get to a point of being able to communicate… or interact with the world… and he more of less never left his “cave” and seemed to spend all of his time on his cot. (kind of like TMI students on a 7 day seminar… we spend most of our time in bed… LOL!!)

As I said in my posting even New Ager’s don’t know a lot about the experience or what it is… but… in Bruce Moen’s ‘Curiousity’ cosmograph we have a good description of the modus operandi. It is simply the probe returning to and merging (Yoga) with the source… presumable this is your ‘goal’ … yes??? It is mine.

Yes that is so… it is a personal growth experience. In India it is a prized experience to make direct contact with one who is believed to have ‘become enlightened’… apparently an enterprising local promoter siezed upon the situation and collected money to intercede for pilgrims…

This recently happened in Nepal… a being sat rigid and in contemplation on the edge of the jungle… people came from all over to bask in the his radiance and there develop local promoters collecting money etc to get close to his presence…

Unfortunately, in America anyone displaying these symptoms would be diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer, dementia or being catatonic..

I believe Ralph Waldo Emerson the American Philosopher attained enlightenment and was communing with God but, people around him thought he was suffering from dementia.. a great tragedy.

It is sad really.

The importance of The Transcendental State as far as Earth consciousness and world peace in concerned... when, a being accomplished the correct raising of Kundalini... and this is the caveat... Kundalini flows into the World and changes the DNA structure of the overall planetary, as well as, individual structures... thus having a profound effect on the current spiritual evolution of the Planet... but, as I said earlier... the correct understanding of Kundalini and the correct awakening of its power is the key to the whole thing...

Just for the sake of discussion (argument?), Seraphis,

I'm going to rebel abit over your use twice of the word 'correct.'

My experience of raising kundalini was semi-accidental and it took awhile for me to learn about what was happening. Much of what happened at first i would classify as negative experiences. Yet since the time of K's first awakening, the universe has treated me differently and more positively, regardless of my level of understanding of it.
I attribute that change to my involvement with K, even though it hasn't been the preferred or 'correct' means of involvement.
I don't mean to suggest that making one's own way is a good idea, just that one's surroundings do react positively to awakened K.

Hi Bets: This is a semantics issue. I cannot tell you what the correct method or what or how to bring about the phenomena... I am inclined to regard it as a matter of 'Grace'. But, what I mean is this... there are many possible energy events which might look and feel like a Kundalini awakening... but, are another phenomena... In the case of Bruce Moen's Wahunka events... is this a Kundalini event of a sort of the beginning of the potential of making it possible to have a Kundalini event... I just don't know... but, Kundalini is a real force, it behaves in very specific ways and it produces in the environment very powerful effects both good and bad... depending on the use and where it is turned into depravity or savagery (Hitler for example)... it will destory you Hitler for example if abused... but, to have the most powerful effect it must be drawn up the spine into the brain... that I am sure of... and all seven layers of the Serpent must be awakened... this took almost 15 years to occur in the case of Dr. David Hawkins... but the effects in the world are enormous in relative terms... and the more beings who can pull this off will alter the Planetary Karma... dramatically...

Autonomic and Sympathetic Nervous System

When I say ‘correct’ I mean I personally believe the fundamental literature on Kundalini is not far wrong in principle.

The reason I think there are some very subtle events that can mimic or seem like a Kundalini experience but may not be one…  is that preceding a Kundalini experience the published literature says that Kundalini sends two probes Id and Pingala out as a kind of advance scouting element… I suspect that Id and Pingala are the Etheric counterpart to the Autonomic and Sympathetic Nervous System of the physical nervous system… the question is how does the parasympathetic nervous system enter this picture… (there is also the Meridian (acupunture) energy point system... how does that all tie together and what effects are produced when triggered and what do they mean???... the literature says the Kundalini cannot be raised until Id and Pingala awakens the chakra as they ascend the shusumna… how this works I do not know for sure…

The complicating element in all of this is that apparently Kundalini does not have to be raise to achieve the Transcendental state… Dr. David Hawkins describes his Transcendental awakening as occurring at the end of a horrendous descent into despair… in which he reached Dante’s inferno… and more or less saw the sign… ‘Abandon Hope all ye who enter here..’ at the time he was an atheist/agnostic and when he reached that level of hopelessness he decided to reach out to God… saying, ‘if there is a God… please help me…’ at that moment he achieved the ‘Yoga’…

But it was several years after he struggled to return to function as a physical entity that one day he felt what he now knows is Kundalini rising and there are very specific accompanying physical and emotional sensations in the process… it also took another 15 years are so for the process to complete itself and Kundalini took up residence completely in the Crown Chakra (???)… but in the time miraculous things happened around him… when people were in distress… he felt Kundalini pour out of him in the direction of the supplication… and things changed in the environment… he himself did nothing… but, when it is awake you know it and when it is flowing you know it…

There is a lot to learn about it and in our case since we don’t have a bonified Enlightened Guru as a guide… we have to do it by Braille and hope we don’t trigger some real difficult problem in relation to Kundalini… it is a dangerous power if not properly handled.

But there is an enlightened Guru to help those who seek the spiritual path. I'm sure there is more than one. I have been initiated by one and that's how I am able to meditate on the Sound Current. Up til then, I was not able to meditate. I was somewhat skeptical, but the practices of this spiritual teacher and his international outreach convinced me that I should be initiated. His organization accepts no money from non-initiates. He makes his own income from books and other sources, not initiate contributions! My husband has been part of the organization for 32 years, and never influenced me at all. I had to do all the searching and asking questions on my own.

If anyone is interested, PM and I will send a link to the organization, as I don't want to appear as though I am trolling for initiates, lol...

Hi gooby: I misspoke there may be 6800 + enlightened beings on the planet right at this moment... the problem is who are they and do they work with students... yours apparently does I am glad you have a guru in whom you are satisfied. I am presently satisfied that working in the TMI system I have a viable system to reach my goals.

Yes, you must do what works for you. I believe in what you say though, an enlightened being is the person to look to for initiation. After all, how can you learn much from someone who hasn't experienced different spiritual realms on his/her own. It's like real estate law, a spiritual teacher can only give you what they have. If they have only been to the astral region, how can you expect for them to know more or give you  more?

Hi Bets: Thank for opening the idea of a discussion on this issue.. I would not have realize what happened in Dr. Hawkins case.

You see the literature is very clear about the raising of Kundalini... if done improperly one opens oneself to great difficulties because Ida and Pingala when they open the chakras as they go into ascension... they confront the 'ego' structure (crucifixion)... the ego essential has to 'die' or be nuetralized otherwise it will usurp Kundalini power as in the Bilblical story of 'Saul' or the Hitlerian experience (but Hitler's spiritual handlers 'intented' for him to use the Kundalini power... I assume they thought they could control him but he assassinate both of them... interestingly enough the story goes he was told if he violated their rules he would live only thirteen years (??) and that is just what happened he succumbed exactly thirteen years to the day of their assassination... or so the story goes)... in Hawkins case he achieve 'transcendence' and then Kundalini just automatically ascended unobstructed because Hawkins was no longer in his body... he says it took many years of living in isolation and solitude before he was able to reestablish a link between his Homo Spiritus aspect and his physical counterpart... he says people would talk to his body and he wondered who they were addressing... things like that... so his Kundalini experience was quite different than ours is going to be...

The Dilemna of the guru-less spiritual student!

Exerpted I/reality and subjectivity - Dr. David Hawkins

[b]Q. What is the ‘structure’ of the spiritual domain?

A. Although it is without structure as commonly understood, it has characteristics (analogous to the ‘observables’ of Quantum Mechanics) that are quite discernible by their effects. While we can impose an intellectual structure on these qualities, they exist only in the mentation of the observer.
[/b]

What this means is that the chakras don’t actually exist, they are a mentation a convenient construct to use as a common denominator in a system… in which ‘effects’ which themselves are illusion (but substantive at some level of consciousness of an unfolding student0 can be recognized as a waypoint in the unfoldment process…

In short the ‘effects’ are powerful, more powerful than the mentation that might surround them and attempt to identify them… thus Robert Monroe avoided the standard nomenclature of the established world of mysticism centuries old… and chose to create a new paradigm… hewing close to mainstream science to avoid polarization and niche - ing.

I had a reason for bringing this subject up. I read an article on the internet that said the Palistinians were mounting a non-violent approach to establishing their group status... something they should have done years ago... a Gandhi like non-violent movement to establish a political state that attempted to live in peace with Israel... I thought attempting to raise the general consciousness through a small group putting positive energy into comprehending Transcendence might help tilt the balance... but... not much discussion ensued...

I have been in contact for several years with a person that is fully enlightened or awake. He is 76 years old and lives in USA. His name is Melvyn Wartella.

This is his web page: http://www.friendsofreality.org

I have interacted for years with him by email and I have learned a lot. He has written several essays in his
website and is writing a book right now.

I have asked him several times about afterlife, but he never wanted to talk about that theme in depth.

This is what he said me once:

"The main reason I have not written an essay on the afterlife is I did not want the ego to feel too comfortable. As you know, most people seek the truth for the  wrong reasons. In the beginning it is just about always the ego that wants to find something that will make it feel secure, so they want the big Prize: Spiritual Awakening. When most people realize they will have to end their dream of self, they just drop out and go back to being entertained. But for those who realize the beauty of Awakening, they stay. But even then, most want to live forever, which in the beginning means the ego gets to keep playing its games."

But a few days ago I back to him with this theme again.
I asked him to read the afterlife model of Frank Kepple that is in this page: http://focus-4.es.tl

He did it and answered me. His response surprised me.

This was his answer:

Hello Sergio,

I read all of what Kepple has to say and I am in complete agreement with him. He has put it together in far more detail than I have tried because the afterlife is not my main focus. It is a valuable work he has done and he said it very clearly. I have read few people who seem to understand the nature of this creative consciousness we all share, but he is certainly one of them and the most clear.

When I had my main awakening, I entered all Focus areas and I realized it was all one process and that for the fully open mind, it all becomes very clear. As for Focus 4, I also saw the end of that stage and experienced it. I realized that at that stage we need do nothing, be nothing, create nothing, identify as nothing, absolute zero. Yet, it was pure bliss, Joy beyond anything one has ever experienced. It was a return to the very Heart of Being. We have nothing to lose by death. In fact when I was led to believe I only had about a year to live, I was joyful because I look forward to the adventure. But now doctors are saying I may live many more years. Which is okay too because as Kepple says, it is all already here.

Much of the physic experiences I have had have also made it clear that we are now in all Focus areas at the same time. I have also been saying for years that all things, events, experiences, etc.. are happening concurrently, at the same time. And that there is no time or space. It is good to see that someone else has seen this. So far, everything he says is right on. I don't try to put into words exactly how I see reality in my day to day world because so few would understand it. I can see that I am in different Focus areas from moment to moment. This mind is so flexible and flowing, that there seem to be no limits on what may be experienced and lived.

If people come to awaken to what I have been trying to show them, they will be much more able to see and understand Frank's work.

What he said about how going to Focus 4 completely changes us, is true. When I went into F4, there was a profound transformation and when I came back into the so-called normal state of being, I did understand things that few people have ever seen. But even after that, it to a long time, or so it seems, to come to understand as much as I do now.

Stay well and happy.

Melvyn

Hi Seraphis,
what you said about Dr. Hawkins caught my attention:
"he says people would talk to his body and he wondered who they were addressing"
Can you tell me if he wrote detailed about this experience, and if yes, where?

Hi Sergio,
what Wartello said about his reluctance to talk about the afterlife and the ego is very similar to the approach of Zen Buddhism. If someone is practicing Zazen to achieve enlightenment, it's not true Zazen, and this one will not reach enlightenment because this one is attached to this ambition.
   As well interesting his confirmation of Kepple's writings.

Spooky
