“Enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell” — Matthew 7: 13-14.

Many are familiar I’m sure with the above scripture. But, practically speaking, to where exactly is this instructional verse guiding and for what spiritual benefit?

Let us now put some spiritual meat onto this skeletal sentence and see what esoteric nourishment can be gleaned from it, as opposed to literal interpretation. Let us discover how this one particular scripture, when applied wholeheartedly, can change our life to knowing profound happiness, love, bliss and inner peace.

Triggering Latent Means

The truth is, we’re each inner equipped for spiritual awakening. But until we connect consciously with this inner faculty, then scriptures as these remain at their intellectual value only. In other words, literal reading is not sufficient. It does not trigger the latent means of soul awakening: that of directly knowing our true divine nature.

“Be Still and Know that I am God” – Psalm 46-10

In achieving this awakening unto God, no outer means are required, for no one can give us God, because, at our core, we’re each already God-nature – we’re born with this.

Spiritually-wise, It’s time for evolving beyond non soul serving religious dogmas and their antiquated fear-driven belief systems into authentic reality and spiritual maturity. Time for experiencing God-Presence directly thereby expressing our innate potential of miracle consciousness to benefit both ourselves, others and the entire creation simultaneously.

In moving beyond non-seneschal religious literalism – moving into esoteric scripture as opposed to exoteric — it’s important to cognize, that, biblical ‘church’ is not referring to a physical building, rather to one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ is not referring to the Jewish nation or its people, present time or historical. The term ‘Jew’ biblically refers to being ‘inwardly’ — one seeking God within. Thus the words atop of the Crucifixion cross reads: ‘hail king of the Jews’ meaning, praise (awakening) be to the inwardly directed soul seeking their own Christ (or whatever title our culture, tradition has for this divine standard) within. The crown of thorns symbolizes victory in this ‘inward’ process.

We’re each wired to be ‘inwardly’: each encoded as a truth seeker, a spiritual journey-soul finding our way back to Source AS conscious awareness. Thus the Matthew scripture above is referring to inner spiritual awakening by means of crucifying the lower-ego through the faculty means or mechanisms already in place within each of us unconditionally.

Question

What exactly does narrow and wide gate mean, to where specifically are they referring?

Answer

Narrow gate is referring to becoming ‘least’ or smallest in lower ego. Wide gate is referring to the outer world: the carnal mind’s addictive nature with the five ordinary senses of perception and their primitive animalistic standard. Becoming ‘least’ thus means crucifying the lower-ego, our own carnal mind. This is the esoteric symbolism behind the Crucifixion image. The white garment wrapped Jesus’ waist signifies purity.

Three more questions

What practicalities are involved in entering the narrow gate: how does one ‘enter’ through it? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, social status or with our religious faith flag and high moral conscience?

Answers

No, none of the above.

Narrow gate — convergence of human intellect to ‘least’ — is brought about in the brain through vibrational meditation – to be explained here — while the wide gate functions under law of spiritual ignorance, meaning lower-self or carnal mind standard, here referred to as hell.

Becoming Inwardly

At their functional level, both gates present as polar opposite states of mind – negative and positive. The reason being, that we must learn from our wide gate world experiences and, through such learning, suffering or lessons, choose one gate standard over the other. Thus, having chosen heaven — chosen to be inwardly or, narrow gate — we take practical steps in that direction, like a daily spiritual practice such as Yoga or meditation, for example.

Like awakening from a bad dream, making this choice of becoming inwardly initially takes courage. The process is not really difficult but does require commitment to inner-awaken. In other words, we make the choice and follow through irrespective of our wide gate experiences. In this context, we remember the scriptural words: “and it came to pass… ” meaning every personal situation, struggle or challenge, changes or, comes to pass. So this is our divine encouragement throughout the process of becoming ‘inwardly’, becoming divinely orientated.

Narrowing the focus

By spinning and living through a false persona cocoon, this conditioning shell has resulted in loss of spiritual identity, of our not relating spiritually, divinely. Thus, like the butterfly, that we may witness the miracle of inner transformation, we must now shed this cocoon to find our spiritual wings.

Shedding this cocoon initially is about NARROWING the wide gate persona: narrowing the scattered irresolute intellect: narrowing the activities of the incessant surface thinking mind and its addiction to carnal sense consciousness only.

Similar to the tortoise withdrawing its limbs into its shell, narrowing the mental focus is how the senses become withdrawn or detached from their object of attraction — the world — both mental and emotional. Withdrawing ‘inwardly’ is the process through which the five senses undergo spiritual reorientation: a transformation which neutralizes addictive thought patterns resulting in heightened spiritual awareness and pure present moment experiencing – it’s also the process of left-right brain harmonization.

Miracle of Convergence

Part of the crucifixion’s esoteric message is revealed in the image where Jesus’ eyes – on the cross — are converged upwards. Narrowing or converging the mental focus replicates personal crucifixion of the lower-self: demolishing the false persona temple, the carnal mind structure, when a New temple-consciousness shall be raised.

Daily ‘convergence’ facilitates brain-nervous system adaptation, of handling two states of awareness simultaneously: time and space with eternal consciousness. Prior to this ability, the brain-nervous system functioned in mono or single state of awareness only – referred to as spiritual ignorance. Through establishing transcendental consciousness permanently, thus miracle consciousness becomes our ever-present level of divine awareness; where Resolute intellect — capacity of heightened spiritual discernment — frees the soul from the bondage of rectory decision making, from the unrelenting wide gate, lower carnal intellect.

Remembering that we each come in to this world uploaded in mono awareness only. Thus, post integration of lower-intellect — when all decision making is formulated through divine wisdom as opposed to the irresolute intellect — the brain-nervous system re-calibrate from single state cognition into facilitating time and no-time — relative and absolute – simultaneously, making Heaven on earth our Now reality.

Because there is such intense bliss on contact with converged point awareness, the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, become cultured into withstanding waves of pure bliss. It takes repeated ‘dating’ (meditation) for this mind/body physiology relationship to eventually ‘marry’, adapt to pure energy experiencing without the filtering influence of the conditioned lower-ego. At this level of awareness, one experiences Divine Presence as separate from the outer world — being in the world but not of the world.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” John 1:1

In translation: Word, Vibration or Consciousness, meaning Existence, always was-always will be.

Hearing the Word of God and the relevance of the mantra Aum

Similar to the universe, at our core, we’re each vibrational sound. Contact with Vibrating Aum awakens the unconscious aspect of our deeper mind leading to expanded awareness, to latent states of cosmic consciousness. This sonic-like Vibration, when picked up by our deepening inner hearing acting like sonar, stimulates the soul to reverberate directly AS God-Vibration — Pure Consciousness revealing Itself unto Itself — unto our Transcendent Self.

Deepening the inner hearing recalibrates the brain down from the market-place Beta brain speed of 14-21 cycles per second to oscillate at between 1-3 cps — the Delta or divine rejuvenation state.

At this stage of our spiritual evolution, life is no longer experienced through the rear-view mirror of fear, stress and uncertainty. We’re now free to LIVE life and not exist prisoner-like THROUGH one or many controlling dogmas or societal mind-sets. Vibrational Aum, via convergence, has freed the soul from the bondage of time and space, from the thought-created illusion unto eternal freedom in God-Consciousness.

Basically there are three familiar forms of prayer. These are:

Conscious directional prayer

Conscious awareness prayer

Unconscious awareness prayer

Later in the article, I will expand upon what many refer to as, ‘Supreme Prayer’.

But first the basics.

As the saying goes: ‘life is a prayer’. Put another way: what we consciously dwell upon grows, or, where thought goes, energy flows.

Against this background – of life is a prayer — let us contextualize these three terms by setting out their ways of personal usage and their relationship to viral immunity and our general health well-being.

Conscious directional prayer means giving conscious direction to the creative mechanism within — the 12 spiritual aspects or faculties of the human soul — for a particular intentional outcome: Of focusing the mind with heightened love feelings, fully and singularly, on a specific visualized image, then releasing this imagined intention — as if already accomplished — to the Universal life force within our own consciousness for manifestation.

Conscious awareness prayer is deliberately watching the emotive nature of all thoughts entering the mind – thereby entering the cellular body – observing if their nature and urgings are to specific activity. Observing if this urge activity is congruent with our soul’s desire for higher spiritual evolution, or is such thought propelling downwards into lower nature activity and decaying of our cellular well-being. Spotting the difference is vital to our long-term physical and spiritual health, particularly the immune system regards coronavirus. Thus, our every conscious moment represents potential for either soul-serving or non-soul serving purposes.

Unconscious prayer — is unwitting adherence to subconscious thought patterns and their associated emotional nature which propell our every action automatically — where control of will is lost to compulsive desiring, to surge-crave conditioning. Or, listening intensely to repetitive media negativity through heightened emotional awareness — particularly COVID content, or others’ added-to version of this. Or, attuned to regular background advertisements with a catch-phrase jingle. Unconscious participation amounts to further conditioning for future unwitting action. In other words, corporate advertising – to include subtle propaganda — is designed solely to program the listener to behave and react in a certain way. Achieving this outcome — in one’s deeper mind — being the sole objective.

Similarly, and often referred to as white knuckle praying — where the emotion of stress and fear is dominant – sadly the petitioner is unconsciously praying for more stress or fear. Where the emotion, rather than the words, is accepted as the prayer, thus ‘granted’.

As we can gather from these three forms of prayer, the first two would be acknowledged as successful prayer, while the other, non-successful, thus toxic to our spiritual and mental well-being.

Acknowledging Personal Prayer

With the mind’s unrelenting exposure to electronic subliminal messaging, sadly the natural orientation of the deeper mind to the successful or positive prayer mode, is gradually becoming numbed, unrecognizable, replaced instead with instant artificiality.

People seem no longer communicating authentically, or prayerfully. Instead, mimicking life robotically — electronically nuanced — without involvement of their higher emotive love nature.

I’ve often wondered, how many times do we actually acknowledge life’s situational outcomes as previously installed prayer — by either ourselves or others. Deep down we must realize that life’s personal and global events don’t just happen randomly through some anonymous entity? The truth is, we create our own reality. If not, then others will create one for us.

In this context, strict attention to what the mind is thinking and repeatedly absorbing and entertaining itself on (be it negative or positive) is vital for development of authentic reality, or successful prayer mode, thereby successful living.

Without this approach, we’re as a cork being tossed around on the ocean of life by whichever way the wind is blowing.

The reality is, everything that is happening in our personal world is answered prayer.

With this in mind, it’s essential that we see ALL our day’s activity as either answered prayer or prayer in process of manifestation. Thereby do we activate awareness to all subtle unsolicited messaging bombarding our soul’s sovereignty of free-will and self-independence.

As all energised thought becomes materialized in some form, such can be used for or against ourselves — to boost mental health and wellbeing or the reverse. Thus a happy healthy positive mind — in harmony with the universal life force within — produces a happy healthy body and immune system, through which the life force can reflect in all its divine magnificence and brilliance.

This begs the question: are some people – including world ‘leaders’ — repeatedly praying negatively, albeit unwittingly maybe? In other words, notwithstanding the abundance of sincere spiritual loving souls in the world, alas, through ignorance of the mind’s ability to manifest emotionalized thought into reality as physical matter, both within and without, many, through non-awareness — deliberate or otherwise — can still be praying against themselves, against society and their country, unconsciously.

Preparing in Advance

A good formula for defusing unconscious reactive patterns – especially hot anger and its potential to weaken the immune system — is to compile a ready-to-go menu of positive word-feeling triggers, like: blue sky, blissful moment, happiness, joyous feeling, pure love, harmony, contentment, and repeat one or all of these rapidly the moment we feel an anger surge welling up inside. Such is how we can remain ‘cool’ throughout the day, knowing that we can call upon these words and allow habitual anger to neutralize through focused awareness on the word(s).

By holding the anger in the tummy area, without reacting on its surge content, we begin to experience the emotion transmuting into bliss, thereby witnessing our inner spiritual power and strength.

Advance preparation like this emboldens the nervous and immune system to their prime capacity of consistency. Pre-emptive awareness alerts the conceiving aspect of the brain to our intentional prayer mode, thus denying subconscious conditioning taking control of our daily life — thus deepening conscious connection with the all-powerful present moment. Holding the anger emotion in the tummy facilitates integration of subconscious reactive thought content, vital for neutralizing compulsive overreaction in potential conflict situations. It also charges the consciousness of super spiritual awareness,

Ritualistic Prayer

Previous to taking up daily meditation practise, the term ‘prayer’ for me was reserved strictly for religious ceremonies: a ritualistic penitence consisting of formal words for recitation after the confessional.

Matured out of these religious indoctrinations –and associated belief systems — I’ve come to interpret prayer as a process of inner awakening to direct Higher Self experience and its expression through the physiology; a means of establishing eternal live standard as our permanent state of Being thereby living life prayerfully in higher states of creative consciousness.

To this outcome, I see meditation as yet another form of prayer (particularly daily transcendence during this pandemic period for raising the level of antibodies thereby boosting the immune system) as the perfect prayer conduit to fulfilling conscious connectivity with the Creator, with eternality: of gaining direct alignment with the evolutionary processes within consciousness for our soul’s highest good, and the good of others and the entire creation.

Why the importance of specific prayer regards the Pandemic?

Specific prayer is necessary — or even vital — for it presents opportunity for the soul to express its accumulated faith-evolution thus far. It specifically allows for active faith-consciousness to further blossom and flourish as our permanent state of disease-free consciousness.

Through specific faith-filled prayer, others instinctively replicate ‘our’ act of faith at some point, and we theirs – a global community of mutual faith-health explorers, if you will. Active faith develops that beautiful sense of ‘happiness expectancy consciousness’ — another term for faith consciousness – which, when developed means YOU become the need of Nature rather than the reverse which pertained before spiritual awakening.

Thus, our higher spiritual faith-consciousness forms the portal through which Nature creates a particular need-seed within our individual mind, thus using our spiritual consciousness as the incubation vessel.

Faith essentially is concentrated happiness or bliss: the soul’s means of surfing God-consciousness in total assurance. Faith is our means to dream and live beyond limiting belief systems and false doctrines. Faith, when active, is union with our Higher-Self that we may fulfil the soul’s potential as co-creators with God experientially.

Specific intentional prayer thus is not totally about seeing if our particular words will be successful or not. Rather, faith practise is about letting go of ‘our’ human effort for to witness and experience divine standard directly.

It’s estimated the average person thinks about 30-40 thoughts per minute of which 80% are negative and 95% repetitive.

In this context, as all repetitive thoughts eventually become manifest either within ourselves or environmentally, the need of developing and harnessing faith-infused thought for creative utilization globally, becomes the imperative.

Recapturing Independent Thinking and spiritual evaluation

Our higher soul naturally seeks freedom from all ‘cling-on’ material, thereby advancement in spiritual awareness and natural healing from within. Conversely, constant exposure to negative media coverage contradicts — by smothering — our natural sense of independent thinking and capacity for spiritual evaluation.

Unguarded awareness amounts to surrender of one’s independent thinking status: where constant absorption of anti-spiritual sentiment downgrades the soul’s Miraculous ability of establishing natural viral immunity, healing and optimal health preservation by inner means. Guarding against unsolicited content, claiming ‘concern for our overall well-being’, becomes vital for protecting one’s mental-spiritual soil against non-soul serving weed seeds.

Supreme Prayer and Meditational Silence

Finally, let us touch upon what many call ‘Supreme Prayer’.

Supreme Prayer in essence is transcendental bliss silence. A state of ecstasy – achieved in meditation — which transmutes fear into faith by dissolving and eliminating poisonous stress at the deeper cellular level, to include integration of negative subconscious thought patterns. Thus ensure production of mature antibodies — our defence against foreign substances known as antigens — into the bloodstream.

in conjunction with the earlier mentioned ‘conscious directional prayer and conscious awareness, this seated meditation is practised using a mantra, such as Aum or Omm. When the individual mind transcends to become Pure Existence, the state of disease-free consciousness.

Post meditation, we become as channels for the flow of universal life force: a vessel of divine consciousness for benefiting the world.

Thus, no matter our creed, ethnic culture or social status, every soul’s meditational silence pays a gigantic spiritual dividend unto ourselves, others and the universe. Meditational hearts see all as One — Unity in diversity. Transcendental consciousness is where our life is automatically in accordance with the laws of nature, representative of successful prayer living.

Transcendental consciousness is our spiritual means of creating COVID immunity, of defeating this pandemic naturally.

The issues on many people’s minds these days revolve primarily around defeating the pandemic, followed closely by busting the ageing process, creating radiant glowing health and oozing love-happiness in abundance.

And, strangely, the solution to these issues are found freely available –and have been for centuries — but deliberately suppressed by vested interests; their approach to such matters being, from outside-in rather than Nature’s way of inside-out.

But even more startling is that ancient scriptures have been hailing this freely available miracle for countless centuries as in: ‘know the still small voice within’ while the immortal five thousand years old Bhagavad-Gita puts it: ch 2 vs 45 “Be without the three gunas” (more on this later).

So, here we have the secret of disease-free health, abundant love, glowing happiness and age-less consciousness staring at us for aeons.

But, sadly, merely reading these life-transformative scriptures is not sufficient in itself. In other words, to have direct experience of this Potent Elixir, in its purest form — as intended by the ancient sages – requires a level of practical personal involvement, as we shall see.

So, bear with me, if you will, as we develop the full import of these coded tenets which are revealing the age-less secret of how we may obtain miraculous health benefits in our own lives, at any age, now!

Let us set context to both scriptures’ common denominator: the means of contact.

So, for example: switching off very loud music would leave us sitting in a silent room. Conversely, switching off from stressful thoughts or compulsive ‘thinking about’, would leave us silent in mind.

So, what’s the difference?

The difference is: there are two silences existing simultaneously but which are not one and the same in nature. One is ‘absolute or pure transcendental silence’, the other, ‘relative silence’ experienced through the absence of outer sounds: one silence is absence of inner noise, the other, absence of outer noise, or, one silence is transcendental (health/non-ageing of cellular body) the other, ‘of this world’ (time/decaying).

Relative silence requires the absence of exterior sound, the other, pure transcendental silence, the absence of interior noise (compulsive thinking). In both scenarios something requires to be absent for their ‘silence’ experience.

Thus tuning into either ‘the still small voice’, or transcending the three Gita gunas, are both referring to gaining direct contact with absolute or transcendental pure silence.

But how can we tell the difference in the silences?

In other words, what distinguishes the silence surrounding mental dialogue while sitting in the quiet room? How can we tell that we’re not listening to a quitter version of lower-ego chattering’s and taking that silence to be the still small (transcendent) voice?

So, initially – while in the spiritually asleep state – the mind doesn’t possess sufficient pure silence capacity and understanding to relate to ‘the still small voice’ as a means of experiencing transcendentally, when relating spiritually at this stage can be intellectual only.

Prior to spiritual awakening, outer life events, including relative sound, act as prompts in reminding us of our need of soul evolution from the born-into ‘noise’ state of spiritual ignorance. Thus the need of lived outer noise lessons until finally we accept the necessity of gaining pure inner silence as graduation means unto knowing our true inheritance of pure silence or perfected consciousness.

Similar to caterpillar metamorphosis into butterfly, we’re each designed for similar transformation unto knowing transcendently and utter freedom in bliss consciousness.

To help clarify which is which: ego chattering or still small voice, let us look at the mental faculties at play in this area – nothing complicated.

Mind versus Intellect

First there is the conscious mind which function is to ‘think’, followed by human intellect, the faculty which decides: makes decisions based on what conscious mind churns up or thinks.

During spiritual ignorance – lower-self or carnality stage — the conscious mind thinks through previous or inherited conditioning and experiences, and, based on that churned up conditioning, the human intellect decides on issues.

At this stage, due to the shallow limited thinking capacity of the conscious mind, the intellect has not as yet been initiated into ability of discerning spiritually.

Thus, prior to practicing some form of mind-centring meditation, sadly, the repetitive mental chatter, whether quiet are loud, noble or otherwise, is simply regurgitated lower-ego history, and, such is what’s blocking cognitive awareness of the still small transcendent voice as direct experience, meaning, lower human intellect is still in charge of vital decision making – including health.

Resolute Intellect from irresolute

Much like the butterfly, when our meditation practice has advanced somewhat then the spiritual or transcendent intellect begins forming, maturing, a dynamic which ultimately takes over all of our decision making, when irresolute intellect becomes Resolute intellect.

While this transformation from lower-self functioning into experiential higher Self is taking place, the lower ego personality is as if being ‘crucified’ — its content integrated — thus facilitating expansion of love in the heart chakra where all revelation of divine nature originates.

Transformation of irresolute intellect thus clears the way for Resolute intellect to function through the heart chakra as the still transcendent voice in every situation, in or out of meditation.

In other words, post soul awakening, the spiritual intellect and heart chakra together function as the Authentic Voice of our soul: guidance in accordance with cosmic standard as opposed to the false ego which functioned through law of spiritual ignorance.

Mind Expansion and Integration

Thus in order to know the Transcendent directly, mind needs to expand beyond relative silence, for such is when transcendental silence becomes infused into the very nature of the mind, and is how mind become disciplined from wondering into thinking useless energy-sapping thoughts.

During meditation thoughts surface naturally into awareness for integration. These thoughts represent imprints of our most recent history. Integration ensures that such imprints don’t root to form future thought-baggage seeds, thus, integration is how expansion of conscious capacity of mind develops. It’s during this integratory process that lower-self dialogue is most likely to be heard, but that, such words are not originating from the still transcendent voice, which essentially is wordless.

When we think about it, without integration the mind would accumulate useless thought baggage indefinitely. Thus, while being the dynamic which expands capacity of conscious mind, integratory silence also frees from addictive mind-sets, including attachment to greed, power, money and obsession with material wealth and control over people.

In this way, as consciousness expands, compassionate love, youthfulness, creative insights of a cosmic standard become our expressional norms.

Mind-Silence Acclimatization

If conscious mind and nervous system have not been acclimatized into withstanding pure silence, pure bliss, then often what’s to the fore is ego-nuanced happiness or mire thoughts thus polluting the vital channel-means of knowing God directly. Thus, as mind-nervous system become naturally surrendered in mental stillness, then the mind transcends this world of opposites – good-bad, love-hate, like-dislike, me-mine.

Gradually, post meditation, these vital inner faculties become pure enough to reflect tangible divine presence: transmissions of heart chakra love in the form of saturated compassionate calm – when the lake is still, the moon reflects perfectly.

As conscious mind transcends in meditation, it’s capacity post meditation to intuit and discern cosmically becomes apparent. When engaging eternal vibration in the form of joyful silence becomes as natural.

In this context, heart chakra awakening unto bliss experiencing is consequent of kundalini rising upwards from the base of the spine initiated through pure silence contact.

Triggering kundalini, further triggers the soul’s 12 inner spiritual faculties – esoterically referred to as the 12 apostles — thus developing personal and global consciousness. In other words, with transcendental silence being the sole criteria of ‘right action’, thus our every action benefits the entire cosmos and other people simultaneously.

All-Knowingness

All-knowing consciousness when realized is our Real True Self: the authentic Still Voice witnessed as all-pervasive silence-calm as separate from the outer chaotic world of activity — the calm which never becomes ruffled by emotional storms on the lake of life.

The term ‘small’ voice is to differentiate it from the expansive lower-self conditioning which, through ignorance, overpowers and imprisons Transcendent nature, the soul’s unconditional love nature.

Thus the axiom; ‘we cannot express what we don’t possess in consciousness’. In other words, we cannot express unconditional love without its direct presence in heart.

Secret of abundant happiness

There’s a great scripture which states: “To him that has, more shall be given, but to him with least, even that shall he lose.” At face value, this indeed seems grossly unfair. But, on deep reflection, it highlights a cosmic law: by expressing the level of health-happiness which we have presently, we receive more health-happiness, while she/he who doesn’t express their present health-happiness, loses that level. As health, happiness and ageing are interlinked, the wise person, for building COVID-immunity, express pure unconditional love and heart-felt peace-vibration at every opportunity either outwardly or inward to ourselves.

In other words, ‘use it or lose it’.

Thus, expressing love, peace and gratitude in every situation is our surest way of maintaining vibrant health and youthful consciousness. When eventually our consciousness BECOMES ‘the still transcendent voice, BECOMES love and health-happiness, BECOMEs the embodiment of transcendent ageless silence and eternal well-being. When our every action is performed naturally through Immutable Being, You, as God-Consciousness. Illustrating further how indeed our every action is deemed ‘right action’ — action in accordance with Divine Law.

The Great Transmutation

In meditation the conscious mind and five active senses converge into point awareness – the still small voice. Through regular daily practice, the mind begins retaining this pure point-silence, a convergence resulting eventually in permanent bliss-consciousness, the Nectar of all meditation.

And even though words may pop into mind during meditation, ultimately the practice is about carnal mind integration as opposed to any form of voice-listening.

The peace and self-healing happiness we’ve each been seeking since birth exists already within as pure silence and is easily realized by transcending daily.

Meditation is about establishing steadiness of intellect and transcendental consciousness simultaneously, when spontaneous Silence reflects permanently as eternal present moment consciousness.

As ‘Transcendent Silence’ lies beyond the range frequency of the human mind, intellect and senses, may I suggest the following technique of transcendence into pure silence.

Be seated, and recite the sacred mantra Aum or Om quietly within. Extend Aum vibration for 5/6 seconds, then pause for 5/6 seconds after each recital. Continue this recite-pause sequence for at least ten minutes building up to twenty minutes daily after a few days, then twice daily thereafter. This daily practice technique represents “be without the three gunas” in Bhagavad-Gita mentioned earlier, meaning, transcend the laws of nature, which are Sattva, Rajas and Tamas – meaning, being out of their influence daily in meditation.

Gradually, the great transmutation from lower-ego-voice unto pure Transcendent Silence takes place as a matter of course. When ageless, disease-free consciousness is experienced as separate from outer activity or, as Heaven within.

When reading this and other scriptures, it’s worth bearing in mind that such verses were compiled by highly evolved minds, souls who themselves attained to the Miraculous levels of consciousness presented here.

Mystical in essence, this particular verse is not about 12 men and a skipper getting in to a wooden boat and rowing frantically across to the other side of a physical lake.

The events of this verse are played-out deep within each soul.

When cognized spiritually, this verse presents the supreme lesson in soul alchemy, a spiritual platform for launching the asleep soul unto conscious eternity.

With an open mind, then, let us set sail now for this other side, to the latent magnificence resident within each of us — paraphrasing esoterically as we voyage along.

Mark 4-35 “On the evening of that same day, Jesus said: let us go across to the other side of the Lake”.

“Jesus said” is referring to the innate higher authority within each soul.

“On the evening of that same day”: “evening” meaning settling of mental activity in preparation for crossover or Passover. “same day”, meaning, moment of actual crossover.

“Other boats were there too”: accumulation of world conditioning forming the spiritually asleep state of mind.

So, WHERE physically is this other side, and WHAT specifically is this boat?

Boat, in this instance, is referring to the lower-self or carnal mind in need of transformation or, aligned cosmically.

So, getting into the boat of lower-self is about bringing pure conscious awareness to bear upon the carnal mind state and the surrounding feeder faculties which are also rooted in spiritual ignorance.

As mentioned earlier, this entire scripture takes place within the overall person in terms of mind, body, spirit.

So, with this perspective in mind:

What are the mechanism faculties used in getting the human soul to the other side?

The answer is, the Apostles.

But, who or what are these 12 apostles?

The apostles are inner faculties representing the 12 aspects of the human personality, the human soul, which, on coming into this world, are non-developed spiritually. Thus, the apostles at this stage — in the boat of lower-self — are spiritually asleep in matters of divine correspondence.

Hence, when Jesus awoke from slumber at the back of the boat – awakening soul potential — this signifies awakening the inner aspects unto serving spiritually. It’s how lower-self status commences journeying to the other side, thereby familiarization in divine standard of consciousness.

The 12 apostles are also referred to in Scripture as the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 baskets or the 12 cranial nerves located in the brain.

The reality is, from birth, there are twelve undeveloped aspects of every soul in need of spiritual awakening, and that these aspects are to be developed for the expression of good ONLY – the opposite of carnality.

The 12 aspects of soul — the apostles — are:

Faith, strength, Wisdom/discernment, Love, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation and Life conserving.

These then are our God-given faculties — innate potentials of the soul — which crossing to the other side aims at establishing in consciousness in our daily life.

Now, how do we cross this lake?

Transcendence

The term ‘trans’ is Latin for ‘cross’ over, therefore, going to the other side is referring to transcendence, crossing the mire of spiritual ignorance unto higher awareness within our own consciousness.

Transcendence takes awareness beyond the lower-self, beyond the struggles of everyday life — beyond the Jordan River — to the level of ‘milk and honey’ consciousness, that is, transitioning unto our Higher Self.

But, most pivotally, transcendence takes consciousness into previously unexplored realms of Self. By unleashing a surge of bliss, transcendence miraculously changes the inner mental landscape which takes mind-brain to higher levels of cosmic consciousness, thus triggering empowerment of the 12 potentials or faculties simultaneously.

The Crowd

Mark 4–36 states: “so they left the crowd”.

‘Crowd’ here does not mean crowds of people. Esoteric crowd represents confusion, inner conflict, emotional thought patterns, stressors and worries – the human psychological condition.

In this context, crossing to the other side commences with ‘crowd’ calming, taking the agitated mind out of repetitive thought recycling to the activity of ‘no-mind’ – cessation of thought-flow.

The Storm

Mark 4-37 says “Suddenly a storm blew up”, meaning, loss of emotional poise to anger flare-up.

Mark 4-38 “Jesus was sleeping on a pillow” at the stern of the boat. In other words, inner Christ awareness was absent in our daily affairs.

“the disciples woke him up and said, Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?” meaning, without input of higher spiritual awareness into the human condition, the inner aspects — the apostles — die spiritually.

The term Teacher refers to In-tuition, teaching from within, or the Holy Spirit in action.

Jesus replied, “have you still no faith?”

Faith here is not a set of dogmatic belief systems. Faith, rather, is come upon, it’s not imposed intellectually from outside sources.

Faith, experientially, presents as free flowing silence within, which, when come upon, reflect as free flowing life, or faith. In other words, free flowing faith happens when not Impeded by lower-self.

‘Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and waves’: “be still – be quite”, meaning, conscious use of divine authority with conviction: giving conscious direction to life in faith, with commitment, thereby not surrendering emotional poise to habitual ignorance convenience, for such is how lower-ego thrives.

Mature Quietude

While storm resilience is developed through stillness and mental quietude, it needs time to mature. Thus mature quietude is achieved by regular daily meditation, and is why Jesus said “have you STILL no faith?” Meaning, have you not been practicing mature quietude daily.

Jesus’ words here are addressing the individual’s own quietude, and not a group of people.

Faith-maturing thus is about journeying within unto pure revelatory silence.

Causes of Human Storm

Using a weather analogy: when high pressure clashes with low pressure — particularly at change of season – high winds and storms can arise.

In other words, emotional turbulence can arise consequent of crossing from one shoreline to another — transitioning out of chaos and sin to its opposite, purity and silence.

Emotional upheaval can also arise through unfulfilled expectations. When carnal desires remain unfulfilled through our chosen lower-self route. An indication indeed that carnal desire and spiritual insight are out of synch.

Inner turmoil can result consequent of built-up stress: pent-up feelings which can trigger explosive anger leading to deterioration of the 12 faculties. Thus anger is thy most toxic emotion to the human organism.

But storms primarily arise through lack of Self-expression creating blockage to the free-flowing nature of life. Lack of Self-expression contributes greatly to anxiety and depression, particularly among younger people.

Putting ‘storm’ into esoteric context

As Christ-awareness enters into the deeper mind, it’s then that we begin consciously facing carnality, addictions and the plethora of animalistic content inherent due to spiritual ignorance, such is what keeps the soul imprisoned.

As spiritual awareness dawns, suppression is challenged directly by the Christ within the individual.

During this awakening process, the new spiritual and old carnal clash and we become super-sensitive. Thus, as we adjust out of addictive comfort zone level into new spiritual soul settings, our mental environment is jolted upwards. People and environment will be as feed-back reflectors to how emotionally mature, or otherwise, we are at any given moment.

In other words, the inner storm dynamic comes into play so that we may face suppression, our jailer, consciously thereby freedom from addictive thought patterns leading to authentic Self-expression.

This now is where Mark 4-35 changes dramatically

Mark 5-1: “Jesus and his disciples arrived on the other side of Lake Galilee”, in the territory of Gerasa.

So, we remember, at the beginning, the disciples got into the boat, meaning conscious awareness entering into lower-self, in meditation, and that Jesus was already sitting in the boat, but, as yet, not triggered into experiential Christ awareness.

In other words, as Jesus was already in the boat it represents the inherent Spark of enlightenment within each soul unconditionally. By route of “crossing” in meditation, the Spark is now ignited and has arrived on the other side unto Christ consciousness.

Biblical Jesus thus represents inner Potential: the ideal human in process of perfecting spiritually.

We notice that the individual apostles did not get out of the boat — for they in fact make up the boat structure which in its entirety is in need of awakening spiritually. Instead, by Jesus – the now ignited Spark — becoming the Christ, the apostles got out of the boat of lower-self transformed AS Christ awareness.

In other words, as transcendence neutralizes carnal mind activity, lower-self loses its sphere of influence and nobler intentions begin asserting through Christ consciousness.

Mark 5-2: “As soon as Jesus got out of the boat — Spark transcending from lower-self unto Christ — he was met by a man – a demon — who came out of the burial caves there”.

This ‘man’ or manifestation, represents the unclean: the suppressed cumulative content of carnal thought responsible for keeping the apostles — faculties –asleep in lower-self standard.

The demon’s name was ‘Mob’, indicating groups of associate thought patterns entombing the soul in spiritual ignorance, or hell within.

Demons are negative traits through which carnal nature survives: soul-corroding influences which take over the inner faculties designed for spiritual expression in Christ standard — symbolized as the 12 apostles.

These negative traits will not relinquish by human effort, thus quietude, leading to transcendence, ignites the innately present Jesus Spark within, which Spark, through regular meditation and spiritual expression, becomes the Christ Flame, which alone rids demon darkness.

such is how, on arrival on the other side as Christ Light — Transcendence — the demons “came out”, surfaced for conscious integration.

Gerasa is within:

When the human soul has transcended beyond lower-self influence unto the Miraculous, thus Christ light enters into the submerged burial grounds of a festering carnal mind from where demons are banished.

Establishing Permanency

As soul transitions from carnal to spiritual, from lower to Higher Self, our once constricted mental landscape begins vibrating on a broader frequency level. Finally, we begin hearing the still small voice spoken of by’seers’ of every generation who traversed this very inward path of transcendence unto soul liberation.

Therefore, having achieved Awakened standard, establishing permanency within consciousness becomes the imperative, when mastery over the previously uncontrollable demon-nature is accomplished.

Here, application of post meditative awareness — within our allotted duties — is key. The activity roots spiritual progress into the nervous system, whereby mind can experience higher states of consciousness. The Miraculous awareness awaiting each soul that transcends daily to the other side unto Christ within.

Liberation of the soul, from deeply-rooted mental-emotional mind states, some say, takes many lifetimes. When written or spoken about generally, the practicality pertaining to these words is never adequately qualified in any relatable way. Thus, through misinterpretation, the original intention attaching to ‘many lifetimes’ and ‘rebirth’, has been greatly misrepresented through misunderstanding.

This article sets about qualifying these terms by putting them into a practical, relatable setting.

The general understanding in this area of rebirth and many lifetimes is, that if a soul, during its earth lifetime, was non-compliant spiritually with the laws or rules of Nature — action and reaction – that this is deemed legitimate reason for that soul to rebirth back on earth thereby gain further purification toward the soul’s final liberation from repetitive rebirth.

So let us focus in on this last sentence and see what it reveals through the lens of the immortal Bhagavad-Gita.

Gita Chapter 6-45 states:

“But the yogi who strives with zeal, purified of all sin and perfected through many births, thereupon reaches the transcendent goal”.

When Bhagavad-Gita refers to many births, it is not referring to many lifetimes as in many more physical womb rebirths as such. Therefore, even though many womb lifetimes may in fact be required for an individual soul to gain final liberation, many womb rebirths are not numerically requisite in all situations – as we shall see.

The question arises, therefore: when IS it many lifetimes and many rebirths in one sense, and NOT many lifetimes and rebirths in another? In other words, notwithstanding that we’ve each clocked up many lifetimes, what criteria ultimately decides when ‘many lifetimes’ have been achieved and rebirth is no longer required?

For instance, if we had said or heard 100 or 1000 lifetimes, or more, ago, that soul liberation takes many, many lifetimes, one would assume by now to be spiritually awakened and liberated from repetitive rebirthing back on earth?

If we accept that it takes many, many lifetimes to gain final purification, then we must evaluate this acceptance against where exactly we are spiritually today, given all of our previous lifetime experiences. In other words, are we making any progress.

‘Many lifetimes’ and ‘rebirth’ thus have two simultaneous avenues of usage – literally and metaphysically — and knowing their esoteric difference is vital as we journey unto eternal unity with the Divine.

Gaining Pure Existence

Due to non-integrated emotional thought patterns within the deeper physiology, thus the principle of repetitive womb rebirth makes perfect sense. Conversely, many ‘ordinary’ people, in the everyday marketplace, have actually achieved integration, liberation, through the process of meditation, more specifically, transcendence meditation, the state of consciousness which nullifies and neutralizes residual karmic ‘sin’ patterns, causal of rebirth.

Due to cessation of individual ‘me’ ‘mine’ existence during transcendence, the understanding thus, regards many lifetimes, is that, each transcendence in meditation is equivalent to one lifetime, one rebirth; equivalent to being reborn anew, now, while sitting on the chair. So, in the context of liberation taking many lives, it simply means repeating many, many sessions of meditation, of gaining transcendence, thereby achieving pure Existence, meaning one conscious lifetime in this lifetime.

Spiritual Intellect

Transcendence is a most subtle and refined activity which transforms the human animalistic paradigm into a spiritually based state of pure awareness – known in eastern traditions as no-mind, or Samadhi, Nirnava.

As deeper mind begins to open, in meditation, the soul’s spiritual qualities of unconditional love and divine awareness begin to emerge within, which practical spiritual progress, while spiritually asleep, can indeed take many physical womb lifetimes to achieve.

From this perspective, to a committed meditator, liberation is about LIVING one fully-conscious egoless lifetime through a decontaminated soul — expressing post meditative nature in our every thought, word and deed through a consciousness rooted in compassionate-love.

Many meditations thus neutralize unconscious content, the non-soul serving thought patterns lodged in deeper mind consequent of previous ignorance-based lifetimes; which ‘lodgements’, through meditation, become de-valued, de-habituated, de-potentialized as an auto-response dynamic in our daily lives.

As these toxic deposits begin to lose currency, Life, in its true pure abundance begins zooming into blissful focus all around us. Inner and outer begin reflecting harmoniously with each other as one conscious relationship with the Divine, with eternity.

This is when mind, nervous-system and five senses start becoming cultured into withstanding bliss-purity, when the organism physiology is actually experiencing Godly — living divinely in Pure present- moment awareness.

Hence the biblical words: “heaven and earth” – mind-body — are full of thy glory” – established in purity.

Consciousness carries on

Given that our consciousness carries on eternally, it’s vital that soul gains its highest Purity state now, in this lifetime, as one conscious lifetime.

Therefore, establishing purity in deeper mind becomes imperative, when new ‘desire seeds’ fail to register deep impressions upon the mind for any future re-enacting, which dynamic was not pertaining while in spiritual ignorance.

Stress essentially is what maintains spiritual ignorance, causal of sustaining the unconscious content dynamic.

It becomes apparent, that, conscious and unconscious are not two separate minds as such. The unconscious [mind] as stated earlier, represents non-conscious content, the mountain of sin gained over many ignorance-based lifetimes.

This dynamic remains until such content is made conscious: integrated into one conscious lifetime, when human consciousness becomes orientated in cosmic consciousness.

The purpose of daily meditation thus is about neutralizing this dense unconscious layer presenting as ‘me’ ‘mine’ ‘I do this I do that’ identity, which delusional identification has blighted our consciousness and stifled spiritual growth in every rebirth.

Meditation brings about a thinning of this false identity until eventually consciousness is clear enough to reflect eternal divine nature: when soul is found amenable to pure Existence: Pure Immaterial Awareness while still in a material body.

Given that we’ve ALREADY ‘clocked up’ many lifetimes, and that, ultimately, liberation IS through human life on earth and not somewhere else, let us look at the practical mechanism which dissolves cyclical sin-cloud production — the veil of ignorance keeping the soul in bondage –thereby ultimate liberation in a single lifetime, this lifetime, should we so choose, consciously.

Getting to know the ALL-Now — Now

The physical universe is expanding by so many millions of miles per second, and will do so eternally.

In relation to the human soul, then, what does universe expansion reflect? It reflects that we’re each a microcosm of the Macrocosm, a seed within a Seed of unending growth.

Bible puts it: “go forth and multiply”, meaning, expand or increase in bliss consciousness, in love capacity; expand beyond human limitation and spiritual blindness into All-seeing, All-loving, the ALL-Now Omnipotent consciousness. In other words, soul is not designed for inertia or restriction in divine expression. Therefore, the more soul expresses love, the more love multiplies, expands within consciousness.

Practically speaking, then, how do we kick-start expansion of love, how does soul multiply to limitless capacity of love for expression?

The answer is, by becoming ‘least’ in mind, by reducing to ‘point’ awareness, or zero ego.

In other words, the opposite of ‘least’ or ‘point’ is infinity, eternity.

The process of expansion of love-consciousness is triggered by contraction of conscious mind to ‘point’.

Becoming as such is to present at the threshold of infinity.

Thus, merging with point — or zero ego — establishes conscious awareness of transcendental pure silence, through which, purified or perfected love finds natural inner/outer expansion of love, simultaneously. At this level of awareness, there is no perceived ‘separate’ between inner-outer. All is One, all is Now – the single conscious lifetime.

The following may help clarify focussed ‘point’ awareness.

In Vedic Literature, the letter ‘A’ plays a major role in Self-Realization. Thus the sacred word Atma – or Soul — is referring to ‘At mA, meaning ‘A’ is at mA or, soul is at eternal point and infinity simultaneously.

Within the formation of ‘A’ it can be seen how the expanse of infinity merges to become point. On contact with this ‘A’ point in mind, awareness thus expands into infinity, to collapse back into point, to explode back into infinity, which event can happen repeatedly in a single meditation.

Thus by training the mind in contraction to point zero in daily meditation, expansion of consciousness, of love, is achieved with ease.

‘A’ point thus contains the sacred ‘Ingredient’ which awakens the human soul’s capacity of remembrance of eternal consciousness.

Point and infinity both contain the eternal memory of each other.

But, while this is so, this cosmic state remains only as potential. It lies dormant within each human being until activated in the mind between the eyebrows where point is located – pineal gland. Without ‘point’ contacting, then human knowledge lacks the dimension of divine wisdom, plus the inability of the intellect to discern spiritually or grasp higher understanding.

The audible sound AAAAHHH represents the sound of ecstasy, bliss or GAAAD. When this joyful sound reverberates through the mind silently on point contacting — in meditation — thus we’re on our way to achieving that unending single conscious lifetime.

Vibratory AAAHHH emits waves of bliss into the deeper mind which germinate the soul’s eternal Love Seed into healing, into lifting the veil — of sin — suppressing the soul’s dormant potential, which healing is carried on at divine level.

Similarly, the words Samadhi and Nirvana, when broken down, contain vibrational ‘A’ point, the sacred resonance for ‘spiritual birth’ within consciousness.

While ‘A’ represents New beginning, ‘A’ also contains the All-Now, meaning, all that Is, Was and Will be – the potential awaiting each soul on gaining liberation from the bondage of sin.

Meditation is an ancient tradition which predates all the major religions, and is best performed seated while silently inner hearing the sacred mantra-sound, Aum.

Immortality is best understood against the background of reincarnation. And while considering the dynamics of reincarnation, we should in turn view this against the background of ‘the seven deadly sins’ and their opposite qualities — their collective impact on the human soul/physiology.

The seven deadly sins, and their opposites qualities — here in brackets — are: pride (humility), envy (kindness), gluttony (temperance), greed (charity), lust (chastity), sloth (diligence), and wrath/anger (patience).

‘Sin’ here means ‘missing the mark’ — when our moral and emotional compasses are out of synch with divine standard: where each ‘sin’ has its own cyclically expressing nature through the physiology thereby premature aging and decaying of the organism before attaining immortality, leading to reincarnation.

But, of the seven deadly or capital vices – capital from the Latin ‘caput’ meaning ‘head’ as opposed to heart — the most powerful component responsible for most reincarnations is undoubtedly the emotion of lust, the non-disciplined sexual desires of carnal mind activity.

The very word structure ‘re in’carn’ation’ contains reference to carnal mind – ‘carn’ or ‘flesh’ and its lusting desire nature.

The word ‘Reincarnation’, from Latin, translates: ‘entering into flesh again’ or ‘put soul into flesh again’. The Latin word ‘caro’ meaning ‘carnal’ translates ‘flesh’. Thus, reincarnation is, ‘(re)peat (in) carnality’, re-fleshing or, carnal soul re-entering and inhabiting flesh.

In the process of conquering dominating lust — illicit or compulsive sexual activity — the other six opposite character traits tend to emerge, integrate and resolve naturally through capacity of applied higher spiritual understanding.

Reincarnation resumes from exactly where the sin-karma or ‘urge seed’ desire originated, which, for us, is planet earth. Each reincarnation carries on from the standard of purified consciousness gained in our previous earth journey, until the cause-cycle is broken.

Reincarnation can be a conscious or unconscious choice. In other words, by deliberately clinging to perpetual ignorance-suffering — consequent of the seven deadly sins — we’re unconsciously stating a desire of maintaining the status quo, stating ‘desire’ for more duality existence, more lesson learning, more aging and decaying back on earth. So long as unconscious ‘desire’ for unnatural happiness remains — perpetuated by ignorance of our true eternal bliss nature — reincarnation repeats indefinitely. Ultimately, liberation from cyclical rebirth is our own choice.

But, should we consciously choose – while in duality — a higher ‘afterlife’ existence, then this is facilitated through the practice of daily meditation and transcendence, when the soul becomes freed from the perpetual cycle of rebirth, old-age, carnal existence and reincarnation.

Matthew 11-28-30 puts it: “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest”. This verse of course is referring to this very subject of duality, or ‘heavy load’ existence, and the need of developing a trance-like converged awareness. Such is how the soul transcends clinging cyclical carnality unto Non-Dual consciousness.

Ability in trance-like, single-minded awareness — in the area of sex transmutation — was the great secret applied by the ancients on their journey of achieving immortality, and carried on by many ‘lights’ of the modern era.

Committed Practice

Becoming established in ability of sex energy transmutation involves total surrender of the ‘deadly sins’ nature for the period of each meditation.

Establishing ‘ability’ takes committed daily practice. This is how carnal mind becomes acquainted with, and established in, bliss contentment, the opposite quality of sin: when capacity of ‘urge-surge’ transmutation ability becomes as automatic mental discipline. When, higher intuition – Holy Spirit — presents positive avenues and channels for this creative energy to express beneficial to the physiology, our single means-vehicle of gaining immortality.

Being tangible experiences, inner silence and stillness cannot be faked. Thus, an unwilling or non-committed mind cannot become sufficiently still – anchored in pure silence – to experience transcendentally. Carnal mind is as if chasing away the very quality substance which the higher soul intuitively seeks, that is, mental freedom from compulsive ‘sin’ imagery patterns.

Remember, lower carnal mind does not desire peace and contentment. Its sole aim is destruction of all spiritual qualities by means of controlling the pleasure-seeking senses, making them as animalistic-like slaves to a dictatorship ‘sin-based’ carnal mind.

Thus the senses, being duty bound to serve the mind, will present mind with ANY nature of carnal, dehumanizing ‘junk pleasure’ scavenged from the soul-destroying menus of the ‘synthetic corporate mind’ — which aim, it seems, is making every soul an addict or, other-dependent.

Bible puts it: “It’s as hard for a rich man to enter heaven as for a Camel to enter through the eye of a needle” – Matthew: 23-24. “rich” here is referring to soul rust or contamination consequent of repeated sin-overlaying, where ‘poor’ (egoless) is the opposite standard.

In refusing to transcend ‘rich man’ status, carnal mind demonstrates its choice of remaining duality bound, captive of the lower-nature pleasure-driven senses. In fact, ‘carnal’ is never ready for sense-surrendering unto pure silence and stillness — in meditation — and the inevitable life changes as soul recalibrates, rebalances spiritually. This where executive decision comes in — individual conscience.

But, remember, in essence, you are NOT the content of carnal mind. Such content represents opportunity for change: transformational gateways out of the stifling auto desire pattern of unending reincarnations into the unbounded realms of higher awareness. Carnality, thus, is means of gaining Moksha or soul liberation.

This brings us to the final dynamic, of how this state of liberation and immortality is achieved.

Samadhi and conquering Lust

The Latin word ‘Re-ligion’ translates ‘re-binding’, while the eastern term, Yoga, translates unity of mind, body spirit. Similarly, the Sanskrit word, Samadhi, translates: Sam (together/integrate) a (toward) dhi (to get, to hold). Thus, Samadhi means, bringing together mind and body to know Transcendent Spirit. Including the Sanskrit, Nirvana, each pertain to the same inward process of transcending the cycle of reincarnation.

Samadhi consciousness — gained through repeated transcendence in meditation — thus becomes the soul’s means of liberation from repeated incarnations. It does so by transforming or purifying the lusting animalistic consciousness into a unified field of bliss, or tantric consciousness — a state of ecstasy beyond ordinary human consciousness.

Kundalini Life force

Located at the base of the spine in the coccyx area, kundalini, on awakening, rises upwards to the crown chakra at the top head,

Being transformative, kundalini, upon rising upwards, ‘semenizes’ the brain whereby growth in divine standard is initiated into consciousness – thus the term ‘Initiate’.

‘Semeninzing’ is brought about in either of two ways. One, by transmuting seminal sex fluid by intense inner focussing – retention of semen’ — with two love-making people, or by single person in tantric awareness on the kundalini area in the coccyx while in deep meditation. This is called transmutation of sex energy, when no semen is spilled.

Kundalini is further responsible for activating the body’s glandular system, which system is responsible for secretion of vital growth hormones into the physiology, thus ensuring optimal physical health minus premature decaying.

This inner activity marks commencement of the ‘second birth’: human consciousness rebirthing from animalistic nature into cosmic orientation leading to immortality consciousness.

The term Purity

Transmuting sex fluid is also the esoteric understanding behind the white loin cloth wrapped round Jesus’ lower modesty section on the cross. White, being the symbolism of purity, chastity, celibacy, is here referring to sublimation of the semen into something nobler, more refined in substance.

The term purity thus is referring to containment of the precious life-creating semen, that it is not spilled or wasted by means of self-gratification pleasure. That the semen bypasses the genital urge/spill-over region thereby conservation of our eternal wealth, immortality.

Through this ‘purity’ perspective, the biblical term ‘immaculate conception’ becomes more authentic to mind, in that, we now discern that all creation is by some form of sexual activity, and that, such ‘activity’ does not always require two people. That, giving birth to our higher spiritual Self requires only you in focussed tantric awareness. Two-people-sex – if not for procreation — simply represents another option to the same tantric outcome, that of mastering Samadhi. Weather single or couple, both approaches require culturing steadiness of focus, plus culturing the nervous system into withstanding pure bliss.

The Next Life and Immortality

Finally, this single act of becoming ‘born again’ spiritually reflects the innate ‘release from hell into immortality’ yearning of every soul.

Becoming ‘born again’ thus, is how we each create our next-life body, that of immortality consciousness, which transmutation process — of soul gaining eternal Existence — is carried out while on earth.

Once understood, that, carnality cannot abide in Pureness, the following scripture makes perfect sense: John: 7:34 Jesus said: “where I go (pure awareness), you (carnality) cannot come, but I (pure awareness) go (meditate) to prepare a place (state of Samadhi/immortality) for you (within consciousness).”

In other words, this ‘prepared place’ — of immortality consciousness — must be prepared/created now on earth, in meditation, by means of first awakening, then establishing the kundalini life-force in consciousness. And, for it then to be lived consciously through the physical nervous system — of this existing body, –thereby making Samadhi permanent in consciousness. Thus, immortality.

This earth body provides the dynamic through which the innately present immortality seed is germinated into conscious awareness. And, yes, while Heaven or Immortality already exists within each soul as ‘image and likeness of God’, such Potential remains as dormant until come upon through sustained spiritual practices such as daily meditation or Yoga.

Immersing the consciousness in pure silence hails baptism: absorption of the soul into Reality, Samadhi or immortality status. Thereby release from the binding influence of ‘sin’ or duality existence, release from the bondage cycle of reincarnation: the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

By means of the following amazing scripture, this article sets out how we may each come upon Divine Potential, that of miracle consciousness.

Matthew 7: 13-14 puts it: “enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell”. A most telling verse indeed. But, to where exactly is this instructional verse guiding.

So, let us put some meat onto this skeleton sentence and see what esoteric nourishment can be gleaned from it. Let us discover how this particular scripture can change our life dramatically for the good.

We’re each inner equipped for spiritual awakening. But, until we connect consciously with the faculty or dynamic of awakening, then scriptures as these remain at their intellectual value only. Literal reading of this scripture is not sufficient, such does not touch upon the faculty means of soul awakening and ability of directly knowing miracle consciousness.

More than ever now, it’s time for moving into personal empowerment, into direct experience of the Divine within each of us. In this context, no outer means — including spoken or written words which are guiding and inspirational only — can give us God, simply because you already have God. Evolution-wise, It’s way past time for evolving beyond limiting religious dogmas and fear-driven belief systems into authentic reality and spiritual maturity, into direct God-Presence or miracle consciousness.

It’s important here to remember that, biblical ‘church’ is not referring to a physical building, but to one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ refers to being ‘inwardly’ — one seeking God within. The term is not referring to the Jewish nation or its people. Thus the words on top of the crucifixion read: ‘hail king of the Jews’ meaning, praise (awakening) be the inwardly directed soul seeking their own Christ within.

At our core, we’re each wired for ‘inwardly’: each encoded for divine seeking. Thus the Matthew scripture above is referring to spiritual awakening through our own inward means of mind only.

Question

in the context of ‘inwardly’ and spiritual awakening, what exactly does narrow and wide gate mean, to what and where within are they referring?

Answer

Narrow gate is referring to becoming ‘least’ or smallest in lower ego, and wide gate referring to the outer world, to the carnal mind’s addictive attraction and association with the conditioned five senses and their animalistic standard.

So, there are two gates. One leading to heaven the other to hell. The gate to heaven is the strait, or narrow gate – being inwardly seeking – and the gate leading to hell is the outer wide gate of ‘world’ sense consciousness.

Three more questions

What practicalities are involved for entering into this narrow gate: how does one enter through it? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, our social status, our religious faith flags? And, where specifically within is this narrow gate located?

In other words, what’s the password to heaven, to miracle consciousness?

The password to heaven is CONVERGENCE.

Narrow gate — meaning mental convergence — is triggered in the brain, while the wide gate functions under law of spiritual ignorance: lower-self or animalistic standard, here referred to as hell.

Becoming Inwardly

At the functioning level, both gates represent polar opposite states of mind. The reason being, is that, we must learn from our wide gate experiences and, through such learnings, choose one gate standard over the other. Thus, having chosen to be inwardly or, narrow gate, we take practical steps in that direction, of realizing direct narrow gate awareness.

Making this choice of becoming inwardly and taking the initial inward steps in that regard, takes individual courage. But the process — which will be explained here — is really not difficult but does require commitment and dedication. In other words, we make our choice and follow through no matter what our wide gate experiences throw at us. In this context, we member the biblical verse: “and it came to pass… “, meaning every personal situation, struggle or challenge, changes or, comes to pass. So that’s our biblical encouragement throughout this process of becoming ‘inwardly’.

Wide gate consciousness represents and satisfies the lower-self only — the conditioned mind-senses personality – here termed suffering or hell — while narrow gate satisfies or raises the soul/heart into conscious Eternal standard.

Narrowing the focus

By creating a false persona, wide gate identification results in loss of spiritual identity — hence the expression ‘what good in conquering the world, if in doing so, we lose our soul’.

So, ‘narrow gate’ initially is about NARROWING the wide gate persona: narrowing the scattered irresolute intellect: narrowing the activities of the incessant surface thinking mind and its attraction with wide gate or ‘the world’ level of sense consciousness.

Similar to the tortoise withdrawing its limbs into its shell, narrowing the mental focus is how the senses become withdrawn or detached from their objects of attraction — both mental and physical. This is the ‘inwardly’ process of transforming wide gate addiction experiencing into spiritually fulfilling narrow gate awareness.

Miracle of Convergence

Part of the crucifixion’s symbolic or esoteric message is revealed in the image where Jesus’ eyes – on the cross — are converged. Narrowing the mental wide gate through convergence thus replicates personal crucifixion of the created false persona, carnal mind or lower ego.

Daily practice in ‘convergence’ allows the brain adapt to handling two states of awareness simultaneously: world consciousness and eternal consciousness (wide gate and narrow gate). Prior to this functional ability, the brain-nervous system functioned only in mono or single state attention. We’re now entering the realm of miracle consciousness of where narrow gate discernment becomes as spiritual Conqueror over false persona-driven wide gate intellect.

As convergence becomes established, we’re no longer under the compulsion and dominance of the false persona, of wide gate attractions: we now make conscious decisions formulated through the Resolute intellect as opposed to the irresolute. The brain / intellect re-calibrate from animalistic mono into facilitating time and timelessness — relative and absolute – simultaneously within the nervous system. Remembering that we come in to this world uploaded in mono only. Now, a New capacity of consciousness has been triggered, revealed, awakened, that of knowing ‘heaven on earth’ at individual level. Biblically phrased: “heaven and earth (within) are full of thy glory” – full spiritual potential is always available through being ‘inwardly’ converged.

Tolerance to convergence needs time to mature. I say mature, because, there is so much bliss on contact with converged point — mature narrow gate — that the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, become cultured into withstanding waves of pure bliss (biblical rapture). It takes repeated ‘dating’ for this mind/body physiology relationship to eventually ‘marry’, adapt to the surge of pure energy without the dilutor influence of the artificial wide gate persona. At this level, one experiences Divine Presence within as separate from outer world gate activity.

Diving within and the relevance of the mantra

The word ‘least’ biblically can also translate ‘point’ as in, point awareness. Once mature point, or least, becomes established in consciousness, the human soul – in its combined aspect — becomes liberated into conscious infinity – transcendence or, the non-permeated state of Being — without risk of re-capture by the glare of wide gate experiencing. In other words, new desire seeds no longer take deep root for future re-enacting, or future karmic debt.

The secret of deep-sea diving is entering the water at the correct angle. To aid in diving deep within the mind, let us introduce ‘the correct angle’ vehicle, the mantra, Aum. Mantra takes the mind naturally and effortlessly from its familiar conscious terms of reference to the non-familiar unconscious spiritual level.

Mantra is the mind’s natural means of convergence which convergence introduces the mind to the unified field of awareness. It achieves this by way of converged eyes and focussed inner hearing. Focussed eyes and inner hearing take the mind to the mid-brain point, which point triggers the pineal gland into service.

Bearing in mind that the conscious and unconscious are not two separate minds, rather, two aspects of a divided mind. Thus the mantra – meaning mind vehicle – integrates or unifies this thought-created separation by taking the mind through all the levels of the unconscious aspect thereby making it conscious or full. In this context, mantra functions like a deep-sea vibratory torch bringing conscious awareness to unconsciousness, to the non-awakened aspect of mind.

Aum replicates the subtle sound of the universe to which inner hearing attunes. This sacred sound as mentioned with practice recalibrates the brain to oscillate at between 1-3 cycles per second — the Delta or Divine state.

During Aum, the eyes and inner hearing converge naturally between the eyebrows, which ‘point centring’ activates the pineal and pituitary glands. This is how left / right brain harmonization or full spectrum brain awareness, comes about, or, expansion of consciousness.

In this new mind dynamic, awareness functions through unconscious attention – free-flowing thought — as opposed to selective ego-driven conscious mind content or compulsive surface mind thinking. In other words, as the conscious capacity of mind expands, awareness is no longer filtered THROUGH something, through mind-set conditioning, as previously.

As reality begins revealing itself through the eternal Present Moment, the Now, life is no longer experienced through the rear-view mirror of conditioned mind-sets and blinkered societal vision.

Our life no longer reflects fear-driven agendas, that of automatic response activity to previous conditioning. We’re now free to LIVE and not merely exist prisoner-like THROUGH the looped content of one or many controlling mind-sets. Remember, mind-set dictates your life.

Because life is now perceived and experienced through higher awareness, it’s like touching base with our spiritual landscape for the very first time. Convergence has freed us from the illusion of the thought-created world.

There is a bust statue of a Pine cone in the garden section of the Vatican. This symbol – referring to the pineal gland — is rarely spoken about in religion, yet its esoteric message is paramount to the spiritual awakening process.

Entering mind at the right angle

Many are familiar with verbal chanting, particularly that of Aum or Om.

We’re now going to show just how this mantra can be experienced more purely, subtler other than surface decibel hearing.

To start

Chant at normal surface level for about 20/30 seconds. Now, reduce and cease outer verbal recitation and continue inner hearing of mantra non-verbally or silently within from this deeper angle. In other words, go into ‘minus’ decibel hearing and continue deepening the minus level of the inner hearing.

We’re now bringing surface mantra hearing from 14-21 cycles per second of Beta brain speed to 4-7 cps inner hearing of the Theta unifying state. This level represents true biblical silence and stillness, as in “be still and know that I am God” psalm 46-10

With sustained practice, we can lower the brain’s oscillations even deeper to 1-3 cps, which is the Delta state. This level equates to Transcendence or God-Vibratory state.

If the mind drifts into wide gate, and it will — this is why we practice — pause for about 3 seconds, then recommence ‘inner hearing’. Each recommenced ‘inner hearing’ is from a deeper level, thus, every mantra restart represents progress in expansion of consciousness, nothing is lost, only gain.

Point and Infinity

As miracle consciousness develops, we come to understand, that, converged point and infinity are equal: neither are permeated by time, space and causation. Point, on inner contact, equates to concentrated bliss or natural happiness which explodes into Infinity, unboundedness, which infinity collapses back into point to explode again and again every time ‘point contact’ is achieved in meditation. Point and Infinity both contain the eternal memory of each other.

The need now as a species, I feel, is toning back on literal religiosity and instead view scriptures as intended – instructional in consciousness development. It’s worth noting that, many of the early scriptures were composed by advanced Yogis and Rishis — dealing with how the mind functions, and how, through misuse, mind can work either for us or against us – our best friend or worse enemy. Individual convergence indeed is the way of developing and establishing a miracle-functioning consciousness beyond doctrinal dogma and belief systems.

Many confuse faith and rigid belief systems as similar, while more confuse faith and residual happiness as separate.

Religious faith tends to be doctrine-ridden. In how well we can preach literal stories as real as opposed to mature esoteric understanding.

And, of course, true faith — literal or esoteric — can be seen everywhere, in everyone and in every situation. Faith is when the THOUGHT of God is absent, or, working through divine standard unconsciously. After-all, a thought of God is still only a thought, it’s a thing, it passes.

This term, ‘rigid belief systems’, I feel, has caused much malfunction globally regards mental health and physical well-being.

The gospels are not setting out religious belief systems for anyone. Not advocating strict moral dictates to the extent that one is existing robotic-like. Thus, not living one’s natural freedom status through the body consciousness, stifles free-flowing creative expression, the very substance or nature of our Being.

As spiritual Beings, and as co-creators with God, humans were not created to be locked away from the ‘hell-world’ in spiritual caves, monasteries or institutional dungeons. (This is not referring to the present global lockdown).

If our humanity is never tested by the laws of nature, by the hustle, bustle and temptations of daily living, then how strong or abiding is our over-all faith?

The same applies to youth and health.

Many confuse absence of youth with chronological age, when in fact youth essentially is an inner state of well-being, at any age.

Many confuse ill-health with fate or genetic inheritance. The reality is, we create our own standard of health by the food we eat and the thoughts we entertain. This simple format of food nourishment and mental nourishment, supplies the mind-body with the vital life-force known as kundalini energy.

In other words, food makes the body, while Spirit forms the soul.

The Bible is allegorical

So much confusion can arise based on our belief systems, our faith and our standard well-being. So let us now address this apparent confusion, in the spiritual context.

Firstly, the Bible is presented in coded or symbolized language. Names, places and events refer to inner faculties, to altering states of consciousness.

The truth is, every soul from birth has innate faith. And bringing this to its highest fruition in consciousness, requires personal inward travel, not outer conditioning.

And while many religions refer to the Bible, the Bible is not referring to ANY religion.

Authentic Heaven

The Bible’s essence is, was, and always will be, present within each soul. Hence Jesus’ words, ‘the kingdom of heaven – Christ — is within’. This being the reality, why has so much emphasis, over the centuries, been placed on the outer dynamic in finding Christ and Truth.

While scripture’s core soul-saving message always existed – albeit without an adequate verbal language to convey such — the tenets existed within each heart in ignorance format, but which simply required instruction, not doctrine.

Achieving a Self-revealing gospel consciousness — the wordless format — calls for direct experience of utter silence, direct experience of our Higher Self or Christ. In finding such, we’ll have found Authentic Heaven, Authentic Wisdom or direct Revelation from within.

The reality is, we don’t NEED to physically read particular scriptures in order to find God within. Meaning, if we never read a single word of scripture, then that’s fine with God too. Once we’ve established pure-silence in consciousness, and express such through the heart, then God will have no problem picking up on our compassionate-love vibration, whatever our positional status in life is — creed or non-creed.

The question arises, how do we come upon the Bible’s core message without reading it. How then do we unravel the gems of esoteric wisdom therein? How is ignorance based consciousness transformed naturally into Enlightened Awareness? What is the method?

The answer to these questions are in the form of yet another question.

Esoterically who or what is biblical Jesus?

Biblical, or esoteric, Jesus represents inner Potential: the ideal human; the human soul in process of perfecting spiritually.

To this end, the Bible reminds us that, Noah, was instructed the build an Ark.

So, what was this Ark event which eventually came to rest atop of a mountain. What was the flood that God sent to raise Noah’s Ark?

The flood was a surge of transformational bliss-silence in to the mind-body, the Ark.

Noah is symbolism for you-soul. And the mountain which the Ark came to rest upon was the Higher Peace, Ageless Happiness, Christ Love within our own consciousness. In other words, silence builds the spiritual Ark or Mind.

Biblical Jesus, therefore, symbolizes the divine spark potential within each human seeking their eternal Christ Soul. Jesus, the spark, becomes the Eternal Flame, the medium through which Christ-consciousness reflects as our immediate conscious awareness.

The Bible, therefore, is not referring to historical people, names or events. The Bible, being allegorical, is not intended to be taken literally. Names and places are references to spiritual happenings or awakenings within the human mind-body physiology.

These inner changes represent the biblical miracles as set out in Revelations 6 onwards under the heading “the 7 seals” meaning the 7 spiritual chakras along the spinal column which, from human birth, are in need of activation for serving divinely, spiritually.

‘Miracles’ are what happen within our own consciousness. Therefore, awakening the indwelling dynamic, the Jesus-spark, produces the flood which raises the level of our Ark to Christ standard consciousness.

Igniting this spark-potential is our only priority in life.

So, in this time of coronavirus, how then do we ignite the spark, this miracle potential as immunity protection. How do we cross the mire of ignorance-based health into disease-free consciousness? And, how do we raise our Ark and fulfill the entire Bible’s message naturally from within as intended?

The secret is convergence

Have you ever wondered why so many ancient churches had a spire built into their structure, and why a Bell was positioned inside the top of the spire?

The subliminal spire message is, convergence, with the Bell symbolizing spiritual vibration or divine emanations from the spire point.

When all mental faculties become centered or concentrated to a point, we become as spire, inwardly con-verged to what Revelations refers to as the 7th seal, the pineal gland in mid brain.

Spire point will take the awareness to its highest spiritual level, that of Ark consciousness. Here, sense consciousness becomes transformed beyond phenomenal existence into the transcendental state of unbounded cosmic awareness. No disease can exist here.

Infinity being the borderless state, it represents the highest stage of our evolution here on earth. This is soul liberation from the clutches of ignorance-life or ‘hell’. And even though we’ve been here many times previously, this blessed Bliss state can be secured permanently here on earth, in this life-time.

Convergence and the 3^rd Eye

Converge means ‘con’ or join the verge(s) into point. Practical convergence essentially is a process leading to pointed awareness, localized between the eyebrows in the mid brain. This brain point is of divine stature.

Also known as the third eye – Eye of the soul – convergence is the entry point into expanded awareness, into peace and disease-free consciousness. Regular convergence at 3rd eye point is necessary. This in time brings about the immunity, the happiness and the peace every soul yearns. This is transcendental pure consciousness.

This is how the mind becomes infinity-infused, immortality-acquainted, or, infinity-knowing.

The expression Infinity-infusion is a practical term through which to express the abstract borderless state. The borderless state is Pure Existence. Therefore, becoming Pure Existence is the encoded nature of each soul seed. To pollinate this seed, we’re ‘called’ to convergence, pointed silence, there to re-birth out of the human condition into Eternal Spirit.

For this metamorphosis ‘event’, the lower ego is surrendered unto pure inner silence thereby undergoing ‘crucifixion’ – this is the purification process – lower-self dying to Higher Self awakening.

Think caterpillar into butterfly. It’s the same for humans except we humans morph or transform into God Spirit.

The In-Spired State

In convergence meditation, local consciousness transcends time, space and causation. Coming out of meditation, consciousness retains much of infinity-infused silence until our next meditation. Thus, regular twice daily meditation ensures permanent infinity-infused awareness or human consciousness witnessing divinely.

In steady convergence, the phenomenal world collapses into point, into infinity – they are both the same. Point has the DNA of infinity and infinity has the DNA of point. They’re eternally inseparable. Thus, knowing infinity, immortality, is the God-given potential of each soul.

While scriptures indeed play a vital role initially, ultimately, it’s you as ‘I’ – minus belief systems — which enters the pure silence. It’s this ‘I’ which then becomes the Risen Christ, the Risen Consciousness. In other words, the Resurrection is within.

The nomadic mind wonders no more for morsels of second-hand knowledge and outer world conditioning. Convergence has brought the soul Home. Our life purpose is fulfilled.

Our liberated soul now reflects the Light and Wisdom of God.

So be it. Blessings.

Matthew 7: 13-14 puts it: “enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell”. A most telling verse indeed. In light of Coronavirus, to where exactly is this instructional verse guiding. Regards overall health, how do we interpret this verse specifically regards Coronavirus contagion?

By the end of this article, matters in this area should become much more clearer. That, regards COVID-19, we’re not helpless, not at all, in fact, the reverse.

The truth is, we’re each inner equipped with dynamics of prevention and healing specifically regards the situation pertaining globally.

But, until we connect consciously with this protection dynamic, and upload it practically into consciousness, then scriptures as these remain at their intellectual value only. Thus the need of reading the above scripture esoterically, as opposed to literal. Surface reading alone of this, or any scripture, does not alter the state of the soul.

More than ever, it’s time for moving into personal empowerment or direct experience of the innately present divine within each of us. Time for evolving beyond limiting dogmas and belief systems, into authentic spiritual maturity in God-Presence consciousness.

Remembering, that, biblical ‘church’ is not referring to a physical building, but one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ refers to ‘inwardly’ — one seeking God within. The term is not referring to the Jewish nation or its people. Thus the words on top of the crucifixion read: ‘hail king of the Jews’ meaning, praise be the inwardly directed soul seeking their own Christ within.

This Matthew scripture, therefore, is referring to our being ‘inwardly’, being in narrow gate status as opposed to outwardly — wide gate orientation.

At our core, we’re each ‘inwardly’: we’re each seeker’s.

To this end, understanding keyphrases in the above scripture, is vital.

So,

What does narrow and wide gates mean?

‘Gate’ is an avenue of sense experience, and ‘narrow’ is inward focus.

Wide gate is referring to the outer world, to the incessant activity of the scattered mind and its attraction or association with the conditioned five senses.

So, there are two gates. One leading to heaven the other to hell. The gate to heaven is the strait, or narrow gate – meaning to be inwardly seeking – and the gate leading to hell is the outer wide gate of sense consciousness.

The questions arise: what practicalities are involved in entering the narrow gate? Where are these two gates located, and how does one enter through the narrow gate? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, our faith-flags, or with what?

In other words, what is the password?

Answers

The narrow gate is mental convergence — a means of self-realization — and is located in the brain. The wide gate functions under the law of spiritual ignorance, here referred to as hell. And the password is, ‘meditational silence’.

Mastering these two ‘gates’, by applying the password practically, are our protection means against COVID-19. It does so by creating invincible immunity.

Commencing Inwardly

Both gates initially represent polar opposite functioning’s, and for good reason. The reason being, that we must choose one gate standard over the other. Then, having chosen to be inwardly — narrow gate — we make practical progress in that direction: commence the inward journey of knowing God directly. This process — which will be explained — considering the tangible rewards of heaven and health, is not difficult but requires commitment and dedication.

Wide gate consciousness satisfies mind-senses only, while Spirit or narrow gate satisfies the heart,

Narrowing the focus

So, ‘the narrow gate’ initially is about NARROWING the wide gate: narrowing the active intellect. Narrowing the activities of the incessant conscious thinking mind and its attraction with the outer world. Narrowing the mental focus is how the senses become withdrawn from their objects, thus transforming wide gate experiencing.

Wide gate activity causes loss of spiritual identity, hence the expression ‘what good in conquering the world, if in doing so, we lose our soul’.

We’re born into wide gate standard, hence the need of God-given faculties in bringing about narrow gate standard, thereby access to kingdom of heaven awareness.

Miracle of Convergence

Narrowing of the wide gate, therefore, is one of mental convergence.

Convergence, by transforming wide gate into narrow gate, or, into single-eye awareness, performs as miracle-like activity, in that, convergence facilitates co-existence, whereby both gates function synergistically as one – ‘as above so below’.

Repeated arriving at convergence allows the brain adapt to handling two states of awareness simultaneously: world consciousness and eternal consciousness. Prior to dual state of awareness, the brain functioned only in mono.

When converged state becomes established, we’re no longer under the ignorance-compelling influences or dominance of wide gate attractions: we now make conscious decisions. The brain re-calibrates from mono, allowing the nervous system experience time and timelessness — relative and absolute — simultaneously. Remembering that we come in to this world uploaded in mono only.

In other words, when convergence matures, then narrow-gate-wide-gate transform to become infinity and point awareness simultaneously. I say mature, because, there is so much bliss on contact with point, in mature narrow gate, that the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, become cultured into withstanding waves of bliss. Thus it takes repeated practice for the physiology to adapt.

Biblically, point is referred to as ‘the least among you’, for there’s nothing smaller than least. Once we gain mature ‘least’ — point-contact, or mature narrow gate awareness — the soul is liberated to surf conscious infinity — the non-permeated state of Being.

Relevance of Aum and the Pineal gland

Let us now introduce the vehicle of convergence, the mantra, Aum.

As mentioned, in order to transcend sense activity, we must hone the mental faculties by means of convergence. In achieving this, the brain adjusts to the reverberations of Aum. Aum mantra is the subtle humming sound of the universe. When this sacred vibratory sound oscillates at between 1-3 cycles per second, the brain attunes itself cosmically or Godly.

This inner hearing of Aum, at the subtle level, takes the awareness naturally between the eyebrows, to the pineal gland at the center of the brain. The eyes, in meditation, will automatically travel upwards converging themselves between the eyebrows.

Some may be familiar with certain crucifixion images, where Jesus’ eyes — on the cross — are open and clearly directed to this converged point between the eyebrows. There is how the pineal gland is accessed for its spiritual and health benefits. This gland, therefore, equates to the biblical narrow gate, or point awareness.

There is a bust statue of the pineal gland in the garden section of the Vatican. This symbol is never spoken about, and, yet its esoteric message is vital particularly during this present pandemic.

Pineal experience transcends belief systems.

The pineal is where biblical Jacob (symbolism for the as yet non-redeemed soul) saw the face of God (Bliss). ‘Face of God’ is referring to the image and likeness or God-nature awaiting stimulation into consciousness, into our lives as direct Presence experience. The pineal centre is where lower ego – wide gate — gets ‘crucified’. It’s also referred to as ‘place of the skull’ – or ‘mount’, meaning highest point of awareness. In other words, in meditation, when awareness transcends, it become Mount awareness.

Optimizing inner hearing

Many are familiar with chanting of that most revered mantra, Aum or Om.

We’re now going to show just how this wonderful mantra can be experienced even more purely.

In verbal chanting, we’re familiar only with hearing Aum at surface decibel level, and this is beautiful, of course. But, for many, verbal chanting may not be practical in confined residential quarters.

So, let’s say our normal chanting of Aum is through the surface decibel level. Now, commence hearing verbally at surface level, for, let’s say, 30 seconds. Then, cease verbal recitation and continue hearing the same mantra sound silently within – go into ‘minus’ decibel level depth. We’re now deepening the inner hearing gate to 4-7 cps, (cycles per second) this is Theta healing state.

With sustained practice, we can deepen to 1-3 cps, this is called Delta state. This is God-Vibration state.

A practice run

Be seated with closed eyes. Commence surface hearing of Aum for about 30 seconds then switch to ‘hearing’ Aum silently within.

If the mind drifts into wide gate, and it will — this is why we practice — pause for about 3 seconds, then resume inner ‘hearing’. Each resumed ‘hearing’ will be from a deeper level. This gate-narrowing from surface activity to cosmic silence, equates to disease-free or divine standard of consciousness.

we come to understand, that, point and infinity are equal: neither are permeated by time, space and causation. Therefore, issues as COVID-19 do not exist here. And if the whole global population entered into point awareness or Pure consciousness daily, the world would not be closed down as pertains presently. But, this too shall pass.

Finally, to complete Matthew 7–13-14 above, we need to clarify Matthew 22–14. This verse is piotal.

It states:

‘Many are called but few are chosen’

This verse is directly connected to the wide gate, narrow gate dynamic.

The fact is, through birth, we’ve each alreadybeen chosen, or invited to the wedding feast, to the kingdom of God within: each is invited to enter through the narrow gate. In other words, we’re each bestowed off divine Potential for realizing Godliness within consciousness. Each is given potential of self-realizing ‘image and likeness of God’ by conscious choice.

Thus we ‘choose’ or make ourselves ‘chosen’.

‘Image and likeness’ realization is for the purposes of living divine standard through faith-infused consciousness. This faith is not for selective material possessions only, but universal throughout all aspects of our life. Developed faith equates to developed silence, which represents cosmic standard of consciousness or direct alignment in God-nature.

We’ve all been chosen or given an invite to this divine standard. But, weather we choose to go to the wedding feast — choose to converge and go through narrow gate of silence experience — is our choice. In this context, God does not force or choose any of us, as such, we make ourselves chosen.

The word ‘many’ means ‘all’, and the word ‘few’ means ‘none’ and the word ‘chosen’ refers to choosing ourselves, choosing narrow gate over wide gate.

For many, in the beginning, this path can pose personal challenges. But that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be: a challenge of integration and transformation. And this is why many initially do not find the narrow gate, because they have not consciously decided in finding it.

In the above scriptures, we’re asked to surrender sense-consciousness for the period of meditation. In meditation, we relinquish wide gate for narrow gate, relinquish lower standard for divine or white garment standard. Repeated meditation ensures we’re wearing a white garment at the wedding feast. White garment is achieved by entering through the narrow gate repeatedly, leading to purification,.

In conclusion

Meditation is similar to entering the silence cave within, then re-emerging. But, on re-emergence, we’re not leaving the cave behind, rather we’re taking its pure silence with us. Each time we enter the cave and re-emerge, we grow abuntdantly more in pure silence and stillness. Thus each entry into meditation ensures retention of deeper cave-silence, when, at a certain point, cave silence becomes permanent.

Thus, situations as COVID-19, due to our now invincible immune system, born of converged narrow gate silence, have no effect on us. Blessings.

Prior to spiritual awakening, the mind is propelled by inherent subconscious thought programs. Due to the way Nature or evolution functions, we each come into this world already uploaded in natural adherence to the permanent laws of nature. No person escapes this activity which operates in the mind and body. These inherited energy patterns are what the permanent laws of nature work on in providing our individual relative life experiences.

The content nature of these subconscious patterns, exists consequent of the seed standard produced in previous lives.

Based on these previously created journey-seeds, the laws of nature – laws of mind – manifest corresponding worlds to fit the paradigms of these seed patterns. Every previous seed thought which was accepted in deeper mind as true, reproduces to form our reality after birth. The laws of nature continue material manifestation of the seeds, into full bloom, until the cycle is interrupted by conscious awareness.

Because of these ignorance-based mind-sets or thought seeds, the corresponding lower intellect – as opposed to resolute intellect — has no choice but adhere faithfully and develop lifestyles and relationships around which our lives can reflect these lower-nature seed patterns, thereby repeating this level of consciousness indefinitely.

Sadly, this unwitting higher-nature ignorance is the root cause of almost every known disease or infection on the planet. Logic suggests that, at some level, this known fact must extend into the realm of the unknown or potential diseases such as the present Coronavirus pandemic. In other words, prevention is possible which is better than cure.

In the sleeping soul state, we’re without stability, equipoise: our mental-physical equilibrium falls prey to all the laws of opposites – good-bad, love-hate, like-dislike, disease-harmony. In other words, the laws of nature fulfill ignorance-based consciousness to perfection. It does so in order to keep us bound to its authority. Because of this unwitting ‘fall from grace’ our life is lived under the spell of illusory existence — identifying solely with the uploaded birth standard of disease-consciousness and all the ramifications of addictive lifestyles. Thus perpetuating a vicious circle of finding cures for situations which could have been prevented. In other words, spiritual blindness continues in perpetuity until we raise the lower human standard to a higher standard: one established in spiritual awareness. this process is the way of gaining Pure Consciousness, the sickles state.

Soul’s desire for evolution

At some point in our life, the soul’s desire for growth and evolution begins surfacing from within. When ‘suffering’ becomes too much, an inner dialogue along the lines ‘enough is enough’, ‘what can I do to escape this’. Much like biblical Paul’s flash on the road to Damascus. This flash moment of course was a flash of intuitive awareness which becomes clearly cognizable. For some this may be soon after adolescence, for others during some personal crises or an unguarded ego moment, or an unsuspecting seed of inspiration is picked up from another soul.

In times of crises, when there’s not many options available, we become keenly sensitive and alert to life-saving guidance. These prompts equate to divine wisdom: our soul screaming for what we must do next. For further life development, this soul-listening or soul-attuning is critical.

The soul’s desire for spiritual evolution is one of those symphonic points, when that certain Que, flash or inner prompt becomes the catalyst to some outer practical action: maybe a detoxification program leading to inner freedom from addictive life patterns or some soul-destroying habits.

But always remembering, that, freedom from the compelling laws of nature is a conscious decision.

This is when practices like meditation and yoga start making impression-seeds in the mind, start stirring the asleep consciousness into self-inquiry awareness. In the beginning, we won’t know much about these practices, but deep down they resonate a spiritual vibration in us. This resonance is divine prompting.

Catch 22

Now, in this context, of spiritual awakening, we’re presented with the classic conundrum or catch-22 situation. On the one hand, due to this inherited subconscious conditioning — habitual stress, fear and ignorance — while on the other, interrupting this automatic activity requires a conscious decision to breaking this soul-sleeping cycle and eventual escape from it into the awakening level.

Making this decision is akin to self-force awakening from a bad dream. Even though we’re sleeping, we just know we must escape this griping nightmare. Even in the dream, awakening calls for real effort. Herein lies the clue. We’re presented with the nightmare in order to awaken from it. Similarly, with ignorance-based life, we make the decision to awaken from its nightmare existence.

This is the biggest effort-requiring decision we’ll ever make in our entire life. Like the dream, it calls for strength and courage. But once we commence we’ll always awaken. The difference being, the dream is a fabrication, an illusion, whereas You are real.

And while we’re born in to this lower world of law dominance, at another level of soul, humans are encoded with immortality DNA. But, again, we must consciously choose immortality.

Similarly, like dream awakening, once this inner journey commences, the target of immortality and Self-awareness becomes unmissable. At a certain point we’ll have developed a level of consciousness from which we will ‘know’ immortality. But, between knowing and non-knowing much shedding and inner awakening will have taken place.

Moving on.

Re-aligning mind-body for additional immunity

Innumerable are the laws of nature, thus we cannot align with each law separately. This is impossible. But what is possible, what is doable, is re-align the mind in such a way that there is automatic mind-body-health-harmony co-ordination with all the laws of nature simultaneously. This is how the immune system is weaponized in defending against viral attack such as Covid-19. This process of cosmic mind alignment stimulates the Thymus gland into releasing the required quota of mature antibodies or white blood cells –antigens or pathogens — into the immune system, which then travel through a now strengthened circulatory system bringing further health-infused oxygen to every part of the body..

This approach to disease-free health presents a whole new dynamic for the ordinary person to initiate into our lives cost-free and natural.

The Three Gunas of Nature

Let us now address these innumerable laws of nature by their umbrella titles. They come under what the immortal Bhagavad-Gita calls the three gunas. These three gunas are the qualities or dynamics working within each of us from birth, the laws of nature, as mentioned earlier. Gaining knowledge of guna interaction is where real spiritual schooling begins. It’s from here — from this practiced understanding — that real physical health, well-being and soul liberation establishes tangibly in consciousness.

The three Gunas are:

Sattva – harmony, goodness, spirituality

Rajas – passion, activity, ambition

Tamas – inertia, dullness, sloth

Collectively these three elements of nature are responsible for all creation, maintenance and dissolution. Such is how physical creation and evolution continue in perpetuity eternally.

As we can observe, each guna has a particular quality or nature. And at certain stages in our life, one of these qualities may be the dominant guna, or any pair of gunas interacting with each other. In other words, we can be feeling blissfully happy one day and next day the reverse – the gunas compete for dominance over our free will. Bhagavad-Gita refers to this alternating activity as the gunas acting upon gunas. This is why we don’t get attached even to Sattva standard because it too is binding. But, what is constant and non-binding is Pure Sattva. This state represents soul liberation which is gained through regular meditation.

And while all three gunas are present simultaneously in mind-body, the Higher Self or Soul, being transcendental lies beyond the gunas, beyond aging and decaying. Therein lies THE secret of perfect health. The transcendental state of unruffled calm is truly the dormant miracle awaiting a consciousness through which to reflect. We can each be that Prism of consciousness.

The human soul sets out in life from the tamas-rajas level. Later, raja guna spurs us warrior-like to explore the treasure troves of the material world, possessions and artificial happiness. Later again, through maturity — or burnout — we discover that the material possessions and artificial happiness are not providing that innately sought-after ‘something’. That sub-terrain quality of inner space, peace and happiness, or, Pure Sattva. This Pure Sattva state can exist alongside the chaotic world activity. We don’t have to self-isolate in a cave or monastery. No, we live normal lives in whichever societal culture we’re born into.

Guiding Scriptures to Bliss-consciousness

Here are some wonderful scriptures, each expressing exactly the same message of health, peace and liberation.

The Bible states: Jesus said, “First seek ye the kingdom of heaven (Perfection) and all else shall be added” (added unto consciousness.)

Then, in the immortal five thousand years old Bhagavad-Gita, chapter two verse 45, Lord Krishna states: “Be without the three gunas, O Arjuna, freed from duality” meaning, freed from rule of opposites, the laws of nature..

These two pivotal scriptures are both presenting the same means of gaining contact with the Transcendent Divine Principle latent within all humans, regardless of our culture.

Again, Jesus said: “My kingdom is not of this world” meaning, that, Pure Coconsciousness is not of time space and causation, or, this world.

And, “the kingdom of God is within” — referring to divine potential within consciousness, which Potential, when realized, is Pure Consciousness, Pure Sattva. Also termed Bliss-Consciousness or Cosmic-Consciousness.

Transcending the Gunas and uploading disease-free health

Negative thought entanglement is what keeps the mind and body trapped in perpetual suffering. Transcendence, on the other hand, is what frees the mind-body from thought entanglement interaction.

Thus the art of disentanglement from subconscious mind-sets, particularly regards health, is through transcendence. Transcendence is already Perfect, already Pure Awareness. No worldly ailment can exist here. Nothing of this world can gain access into Pure Consciousness, thus the need of inner transformation. This is where inner silence and utter mental surrender comes in.

The purpose of the three gunas of Nature therefore is to keep each human soul bound to thought entanglement, bound to its authority in the area of ‘world’ existence. Thus THE goal of life for each soul is to transcend the laws of nature, transcend beyond ‘the world’ of the three gunas. There is no higher spiritual achievement than this act of personal transcendence.

And because we have risen above time, space and causation, in transcendence there is no aging or decaying of the cellular body for the duration of the meditation session -we’re establishing conscious immortality awareness.

After gaining pure transcendental consciousness, the mind, post meditation, retains a certain level of transcendental bliss nature until our next meditation. Twice daily meditation is imperative in making transcendental consciousness a permanent state. At this level, we don’t take sides with the gunas nor do we react to their inter-functioning. Self-Bliss Awareness is now experienced as separate from the activity of the world.
Bhagavad-Gita, chapter six, verses 10-15, sets out the simple method of meditation, leading to transcendence, and how to practice it.

This meditation practice is surely the secret to having a strong nervous system and, more vitally, optimizing the activities of the immune system for our total health benefit, particularly release of white blood cells, or T-cells, from the Thymus gland. These are the warriors which defend the mind-body against any foreign invaders entering into it. This is how the whole mind-body-cellular-molecular structure is made permanently harmonious and blissfully healthy.
