appys'enlightned......

hiya there!

it took a while before getting settled down or u might say getting over the idea that actually i have started to write...before i tell u what i feel today....might as well thank u all for being with me in my word's world and actually reading

it and coming forth with feedbacks and encouraging me...love ya all...!

not much earlier, i have started to question..a lot over our conscious, sub-conscious and hows and whats....last sunday, i met with a group which was sort of a 'sign-board' on the way to my journey towards....trying to find 'you' or 'me'.... how do u become aware or find yourself...?

during our childhood, we all know about our five sense organs....eyes, ears, tongue, nose, and skin....while they make u aware of the things around u...lets say...u see a beautiful flower, hear a soothing song, taste delicious curry or feel ur mother's caring touch....they create an awareness in ur consciousness. i don't need to elaborate on these as we all are AWARE about them..... the new or the older new that i want to speak about is the UNHEARD extra 4 which exists. may be u might have experienced it but not be aware......

What happens when we process all the information received from our 5 senses...? after receiving all the information it is analysed...the sixth consciousness creates an overall thought about them...lemme give u an example...when u see a water bottle tagged 'Bisleri', through the sixth sense's awareness u presume or interpret as the water which is safe for drinking. this level of awareness pertains to the EXTERNAL matters aided by the first five sense organs. it is with the help of theses six awarenesses that we function in our day-to-day normal life...as it involves judgements pertaining to the external matters....wohaaaa!! wait there is more...its called the mind consciousness or mana consciousness.

now, these things work externally....but as i said ...i am trying to find 'me' or 'you'....this is where the seventh level of awareness kreeps in....the expressions of YOU AND ME reside here...'the individual identity'....this awareness helps us to make value judgement from ideas and the things we imagine.....unlike the other six layers...this seventh one is directed towards our 'inner' self and is independent from all the external awarnesses..albeit the five sensory inputs.....just as our six senses say that this is a bottle of 'Bisleri'..our seventh sense says that water is the source of life through which it replenishes the human body......this is going to be deeeep.....!!

while there are seven semi-superficial awarenesses...there comes the next....'the deeper' eighth level called the ALAYA consciousness....this is the place which can be defined as the 'store' house level of consciousness...it is were our actions lie...our actions make each of us unique and has an enormous influence on the way we behave.....so whatever we do is because of this 'unaware' consciousness that has been programmed. we are so used to the ALAYA consciousness that we act at the unconscious level..however small cannot escape the reality of the eighth level...the level of karma....! whereas the first seven level of consciousness disappear after our death...only the 8th stays beyond because it is the life-flow that supports the activities of the other seven levels of consciousness. thus, a change at this level of consciousness creates a RIPPLE effect of change in that individual's karmic environment. Phew...wait...w're already there....

the ninth level is the most coveted state of awareness...it has many names..nirvana...enlightment...budhahood...being free....seeking self....'parmatma milan'.....the ultimate awareness...or the AMALA consciousness....the life of cosmos...the most fundamental layer of awareness.....fundamentally pure consciousness....unstained by the karma...this represents our TRUE ETERNAL SELF...it is this purifying level which directly seeks to bring forth the energy or the state of enlightenment ,,..while purifying the other 8 levels of awareness.....when we activate this level of awareness, we have access to infinite WISDOM, infinite COURAGE and infinite COMPASSION for our own SELF REALIZATION.

let us rise.....!!

much love,

Appy!
