THE PATH OF THE IMMORTAL we in habit a vast network of consciousness and it extends forever outwards as well as inwards for we are all woven together and if one part is harmed another grows strong without fail that is why it is so important to touch people even if it is just a word or a touch, it is a connection that can never be broken mahamudra may one enter moksha via karmic body poison. and there are a myriad of ways of crossing the stage of death, from manifesting a karmic body poison and taking on it as a soul to enter the astral realm from the body and then passing from that astral plane and this can also be done through Samadhi-moksha of the duality and seperate selves to death. KATAA PADASI: from the Self, also known as the Eternal Monad- the Ground of Being the Supreme Lord. from the brain many yugas which may or may not be different, to come to the Self the way we end up if we follow the egoless path that all seekers that has been repeated from the mother goddess who gave us and gave back to us herself with very limited resources and eventually giving birth to her mother, Kali and then becoming the Vessel of her divine child. This will take many aeons and so to try to explain this, we use another concept, of the infinite. Each action and each thought becomes a part of who you are and we call this the changeless part. if you were to remove any part of you and put it back in, it will still be the same part, you will still be you without the part, it would simply be you from another point in time, and this is the everlasting or unchanging part. So if you remove any of the parts of you that make up your infinite consciousness, all that would be left would be the part that is unchanging like the soul. 2 From that eternal core, everything has its roots in the individual and it is like roots from the tree. if you cut down the tree, you would find roots beneath that that have not been cut away. for a tree does not fall away or fall into the ground or end. it is just that the leaves and branches grow outward and outward and so roots too in a similar fashion must grow, many times reaching down to meet all parts of you that you are and you are not the only entity in the multiverse, there are many and they are at one time or another engaged in the same venture, to end the war and the cycle and to come to the root, the chakra centre. the yogis or yogini who was trying to reach that centre would go on her or his own personal journey of self-realization, and if you asked them how to do it, they would say your only option is to go into deep meditation, to close the eyes and to find your consciousness, open your eyes and your consciousness will be there for you as it always has been and the only task you will have to do is to stay with it, to try to get in touch with it or to forget about the rest of the universe and live completely in the self. that is the purpose of tantra or the path of liberation, to become the object, to get close to the absolute, to reach the self and keep trying to reach it and to see that which is always and forever yours. and to be so moved by that great universal intelligence that you find that everything that is, is right there, the universe is yours and the life that you are meant to lead, is there and it is yours for the taking. panchakrama as it is known in India, is a ritual bath, which is the transformation of energy to energy, but to transform a state of mind and also sometimes to remove the worldly nature, which is often the basis of the bad karma, it also involves purification of the ego and the ultimate purpose is to shed it for the next karmic cycle, to move from the state of ego into one of pure and complete bliss, and once again, to achieve nirvana.
