Chapter 12
Thank you for reading The Portal
! Congratulations to everyone who got this far.
You may need to read my book several times. But when you embrace Yoga with insane love then as you progress on your Awakening, the words within my book will begin to make more sense.
Remember, none of this would be necessary if you would just Wake Up!
Conclusion
Real Yoga consists of getting rid of — throwing out — emptying the mind — not being attached to and being one with Self, the Self without attributes.
In the former chapters I have led the way in guiding the reader away from concepts which are dearly held by so many and which by themselves hold the sincere Yogi from ever attaining the highest goal of all, Moksha. This Moksha, liberation, does not mean to be free in order to strike out as you have always done, but without guilt, nor does it mean you can be a law unto yourself. What it does mean is that you will be free from the illusory aspect of this so–called reality of the waking world and all the other worlds. You will reside in the Fourth State of Pure Consciousness called Turiya. It is a state of Pure Consciousness without attributes, where in awareness you experience Sat–Chit–Ananda.
By the practice of Pratyahara, the withdrawing of the senses into your internal heart center, known as the Hridian Center, all attributes of the senses and mind will be absorbed much in the same way a small black hole sucks in and absorbs large heavenly bodies.
The Hridian Center is smaller than a pin prick and resides as your spiritual center on the right side of the chest just 4 digits over from the physical heart, and in drawing in your sense perceptions, you will be left selfless, and reside eternally as a Sahaja experiencing the Absolute as Sat–Chit–Ananda.
This experience of Sat–Chit–Ananda is mystical in that it cannot be explained or experienced without annihilation of the chitta vritti, and because of that, in the trying, Gods and goddesses have been created Out of ignorance, in desiring to return to our birthright, we created these Gods and goddesses, Gods of nature, Gods in human form. Miraculous Gods and even that most wispy, ephemeral of concepts, God Himself, the creator of all.
We would have gone completely mad, considering our early mental developments had we not invented them. The God of Thunder and Lightening gave us the ability to appease the natural elements, and satiate the Volcanic God's thirsting for his young virgins to be swallowed down his boiling throat. All of these early stages in man's mental ignorance has led, to this day, the residual belief that there is actually some supreme being, some power with a will and intelligence of its own, quite apart from ours.
When one finally arrives at a stage, understanding that it is we who spin this world with all it's attributes into existence, then the idea of letting go
and chucking out becomes much easier.
It is from this point that Real Yoga truly begins.
Namaste
