The Collective Consciousness

“Paramátman” [active collective consciousness] is the collective name for the Macrocosmic Nucleus..

• It means “conscious of creations”.
• It is the consciousness in the Nucleus and the consciousness in the Macrocosm and microcosms.
• It is made up of individual consciousnesses or Átman which is in the unit structure.

Macrocosm (Cosmic Mind) and microcosms (unit mind) themselves are not included in Paramátman.

Saguna Brahma

“Saguńa Brahma” is the collectivity of:

• Collective Consciousness
• Macrocosm
• microcosms

It is the Brahma in which the Principle of Activity manifests.

Its controlling station is the ajna chakra where the functioning of the pituitary gland is located.

In the farthest point in crudification, the unit structure of the crudest solid factor either:

• bursts out as structural dissociation , or
• the mind is formed by a process of division and association of matter.

The formation of mind is the start of subtlification.

• This progress is effected by the domination of Vidyámáyá or illusion of knowledge, whereby the direction of motion is towards the Nucleus Puruśottama, the centre of all creations.
• Every step in this direction is a step nearer the centre, the destined goal of all, the ultimate result of all creations.
• This force is centripetal and is associated with the growing attraction of the Macrocosmic Nucleus.
• This attraction is His blessing by which He leads every being of His towards the kindly divine light.

The associated reflection of the Macrocosmic Nucleus increases the proximity of the unit mind to the Macrocosmic Nucleus.

• The mind proportionately expands and progresses till the gradual expansion brings about similarity of the microcosm and the Macrocosm and the former gets merged into the latter.

The unit mind, however, can accelerate the speed of this motion by realizing His blessing more and more and thereby acquiring a psycho-spiritual parallelism faster.

Sadhana or Meditation

‘Sádhaná’ is the attempt to:

• accelerate the motion of subtilification, the movement towards the ultimate goal
• cover up the painful hours of divine separation as early as possible

Only human beings possess the ego to perform this sádhaná.

• The touchstone of spiritual sádhaná is therefore the feeling that “I am tending towards Him.”

Every delayed moment of life is only a moment of pain.

• Only that which brings His realization is His spiritual practice, all other actions being ritualistic ostentations.

Consciousness in the psycho-physical unit-structures gets manifested in the process of subtlification when the Macrocosmic Nucleus by His ota yoga associatively reflects on the unit’s psychic plate.

• He, Ever-Merciful, elevates each creation by the force of Knowledge in the process of subtlification.

The physical and psychic clash and the attraction of the Great cause psychic dilation.

• Ultimately the unit psychic body can attain its final liberation or mukti by its spiritual sádhaná.

Different unit minds exist at different levels and experience varying degrees of His love and proximity depending on their progress in the process of subtilification.

• Infinite bliss is attained upon liberation wherein all the bondages of Activity are shattered

• Such individuals set the ideal for humanity.
• In turn, humanity starts paying homage to them.
• Only such elevated beings can and should be called elevated psychic beings.
• Unto their holy feet, one can offer the flowers of devotion and aspiration, but they desire no crude earthly flowers and offerings.
