Change the Inner Station to which You are Tuned ~ Shunyamurti Wisdom Teaching

Summary

This transcript explores concepts related to non-ordinary states of consciousness, meditation, and ego identity. It discusses how meditation can reveal deeper layers of the subconscious, including traumas from prenatal stages to adulthood, that shape one’s identity and reactions. The speaker highlights how these subconscious layers influence mental states, trauma responses, and spiritual development. The practice of Sat Yoga is presented as a means of purifying these 'sanskaras' or deep-rooted tendencies. The dialogue delves into yogic concepts like the 'gunas,' representing different frequencies of consciousness, and the challenges of transcending the ego's defenses and traumas.

Takeaways

• 🧘‍♂️ The practice of meditation helps in accessing higher states of consciousness and uncovering subconscious layers that shape the ego's identity, dating back to prenatal and early life experiences.
• 💡 These subconscious layers can trigger retraumatization by bringing forgotten painful memories to the surface, impacting the current level of consciousness.
• 🌀 The process of Sat Yoga aims to purify the mind of past impressions (sanskaras) that form mental fixations, predispositions, and habitual patterns of thought.
• 📡 Consciousness can be viewed as a spectrum, with different 'bandwidths' or 'gunas,' representing varying vibrational frequencies of consciousness from low (dense and painful) to high (joyful and enlightened).
• 🔮 The ego level of consciousness is limited by projections, past experiences, and defensive mechanisms that prevent full awareness and freedom from trauma.
• 🌑 The tamasic guna, representing the lowest vibrational frequency, emerges when unresolved trauma leads to defensive actions, repression, and even psychopathic tendencies.
• 🔄 The rajasic guna, characterized by activity and passion, can manifest as obsessive behavior, paranoia, or workaholism, often as a means to escape inner inadequacy.
• 🕊️ The satvic guna, representing the highest vibrational state accessible to the ego, aligns with ideals of goodness, purity, and a sense of unity and community.
• 🧠 The ego is governed by an unconscious agency, akin to a 'deep state,' which censors awareness of traumatic memories, preventing conscious transformation.
• 🔮 There is a fourth 'assemblage point' of consciousness, related to paranormal capacities, beyond the typical ego structure, offering deeper insights into the nature of reality.

Q & A

What is the significance of meditation in revealing subconscious layers?

Meditation is significant in revealing subconscious layers because it allows one to enter non-ordinary states of consciousness. This process not only opens one up to the latent potentialities of higher consciousness but also reveals the sedimentary layers underlying the ego's current identity, which can date back to prenatal periods, infancy, and childhood.

How can past traumas affect the current state of consciousness?

Past traumas can affect the current state of consciousness by obscuring and suppressing the presence of the lowest sedimentary levels. These traumas can erupt and trigger a retraumatization of forgotten unbearable memories, potentially collapsing the conscious mind at its current level.

What is the role of sat yoga in the process of purification?

Sat yoga plays a role in the purification of sanskaras, which are collapsed wave functions that create fixations, predispositions, tendencies, habits of thought, belief systems, and attitudes. These elements determine the way one perceives phenomena and can include veils of projections into the environment.

How do projections warp relationships and provoke trauma?

Projections warp relationships by causing individuals to see what they have known in the past and assume that the present is a repetition of it. This can lead to a misinterpretation of others' behaviors, leading to a provocation of a repetition of past traumas.

What are the gunas and how do they influence consciousness?

The gunas are qualities of consciousness that determine the way life unfolds. They are often translated as attributes or habit patterns of predictive programming. The gunas refer to bandwidths on a spectrum of frequencies, with each guna representing a different vibrational frequency that influences consciousness.

What is the tamasic guna and how does it manifest?

The tamasic guna is a quality of consciousness that arises when there is a need to actively defend against collapsing into past trauma. It can manifest as a tendency to minimize consciousness, such as through alcoholism or drug use, or as a tendency to obscure or deny moral consciousness, leading to psychopathic behavior.

What is the rajasic guna and how does it differ from the tamasic?

The rajasic guna is characterized by obsessive and motivated behavior, often driven by aggressivity and paranoia. It differs from the tamasic guna in that it is more about productivity and workaholism, running away from oneself into producing something of value to compensate for an internal feeling of lack of value.

What is the satvic guna and how does it relate to higher consciousness?

The satvic guna is the highest vibrational frequency reachable by ego consciousness and is associated with ideals of goodness, purity, generosity, and communion. It is necessary for creating a sustainable community and represents the highest level of consciousness that the ego can achieve.

How does the ego's structure contribute to internal conflicts?

The ego's structure contributes to internal conflicts by being governed by a subconscious level that acts as a deep state or central intelligence agency. This agency prevents the conscious mind from being curious about or remembering certain things that could trigger past traumas, leading to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness.

What is the role of the 'assemblage point' in consciousness?

The 'assemblage point' refers to different levels or states of consciousness, each with its own vibrational frequency and type of guna. These points are related to the ego consciousness and its paranormal capacities, indicating different bandwidths of consciousness and how they manifest in behavior and perception.

How does the process of meditation help in overcoming the ego's limitations?

Meditation helps in overcoming the ego's limitations by purifying the sanskaras and revealing subconscious layers. It allows for the transformation of the ego's structure and dynamic way of enacting its pre-installed algorithm, leading to a higher state of consciousness and potentially the realization of God and the absolute.
