 112. Mysticism (Inner Sky & Sun) |
Thus, the white light was interpreted to be identical to both Jesus and God ("I and the Father are one") and to the Holy Spirit that transforms whatever it touches (and which proceeds from the Father and the Son - that is, which radiates to the whole body, via the nervous system, from the white light focus at the core of the brain).
The Spirit of white light was viewed as an Agent for the transformation of Man and world, which would produce not only the bodily "Kindgom-of-God" condition in the case of the individual, but which would ultimately produce a radical change of the whole world. In any case, contemplation of the white light was also viewed as an end in itself - identical to the contemplation of God and the Heaven Realm - and such contemplation was thus taught as the instrument of higher wisdom during life and as a method of ascension to Heaven at death.
What is this single "eye" at the brain core focus? It is an energy phenomenon of the brain that appears when the usual binocular vision of common perception is inverted. Indeed, it is a symbol of origination and singularity, and it is part of the bodily or human psycho-physical origin of monism and monotheism. The common states of experience are all "dualistic." That is, they arise on the basis of the double root of all our perceptions and conceptions: the two-sided nervous system, the two-sided brain, two eyes, two ears, and so forth. All of our common experience is bipolar, rooted in the dualism or dynamic natural division of the bodily self.
As a solution to the observed difficulties of dualistic, self-divided, and mortal bodily life, men have always sought and discovered bodily and mental methods to escape into exclusive singularity and ecstatic states of consciousness wherein dualistic and bodily perceptions and conceptions are suspended. Jesus was apparently one of the ancient Teachers of such a solution to life.
The inversion of the bipolar or dualistic bodily system of perception, awareness, and cognition produces phenomena of exclusive singularity. When the two-eyed process of vision and the two-sided brain process of thought are neurologically pressured, lights flash upon the optical centers of the brain. The first primary vision gotten by this means is the yellow-blue-white circle at the inner eye focus (the optic chiasma). It is simply what happens when the energy of the left brain and the lower body and the energy of the right brain and upper body are not permitted to disperse to their usual objects but are frustrated toward inversion of attention, back toward the neurological roots or origins of perception and conception in the brain. Thus, the lower vibratory energy (in the range toward yellow and red) and the higher vibratory energy (toward blue and violet) mesh with one another, as in a rainbow, and the two halves of the brain and the body thus produce the single visual field of golden yellow and blue. The white center is the still point of bodily energy. The white light is the "color" that contains all colors in a unity, prior to dispersal or refraction in the play of light and life.
There certainly is wisdom and even ordinary harmony of body and mind to be realized in the observation of the "single eye," the subtle emanations of the brain and nervous system, as well as the preverbal mind. But these conditions are not themselves Truth, nor are the attainments of the monognostic or "single-brained" states of the psycho-physical being an inherent guarantee of salvation from mortality and stupidity. One must be wise in the face of such experience, as in the face of all other experiences. Our salvation or liberation is not itself in these ancient methods of attaining extraordinary brain states. Rather, we must be awakened to the Institution of the Condition or Intensity from or in which ALL conditions (dualistic or monistic) appear.
Those who teach the worship of the sky (the atmosphere around the planet earth) and of the sun (the fiery star in the center of our solar system) are not qualified as spiritual instructors.
Why does the Lord Krishna have blue skin? Krishna represents the inner blue field of divine consciousness as practiced in ancient mysticism.
