Awareness, consciousness, spiritual state and physical state



We are conscious and able to focus only those parts within us that we are aware of. What we are not aware of we cannot focus on. Generally our awareness is fragmented. Freshness comes from being aware of all parts of our body.

When you have a bath or shower the freshness comes from being able to be aware of all parts your body as the water flows over the whole body. When you are fully awake you are in partial “anesthesia”. You are aware only of the “un-anesthetized” parts; your awareness or consciousness is fragmented and not unified.

When you go from fragmented consciousness to unified awareness it gives one freshness. Again, one could concentrate on something outside one’s body and have a fragmented consciousness though you cannot be conscious of a part in your body that you  are not aware of. So there is a distinct difference between your conscious on yourself and outside of yourself.

The spiritual sadhana takes you beyond your own individual consciousness to unified consciousness. This is why the Ganapathi Tarpanam works best in achieving this unified consciousness. In doing Ganapathi Tarpanam the Kundalini energy moves from the Muladhara, solid state, with a de fined shape to the Swadhistana, liquid state, with no defined shape. When few people are seated and do the Ganapathi Tarpanam together, they gradually all merge into one form as the solid state rises to the liquid state.

When doing Ganapathi Tarpanam the individual state of consciousness merges into a collective state of consciousness. Typically you lose your ego, individuality and feel free and light. It is the movement from heaviness to lightness viz the application of heat to a solid that makes it a liquid with no shape. The solid shape disappears and loses its identification. It is the first step of realization or becoming conscious to “I’m the universe”. It is the first transition; you are getting light and free. At this stage the “partial anesthesia” is partly removed. It is still partial because you still need to evaporate the liquid form to vapour state to mix with other. Further “heating” will transform you into merging with space and then to time etc. to be in fully unified consciousness. Spirits could be unified or partially unified consciousness. What governs the difference between spirit and material things is the speed of light. Any material particle cannot exceed the speed of light. Anything physical is limited by the speed of light. The particles that are travelling higher than the speed of light are imaginary particles. A particle above the speed of light cannot enter the region below the speed of light and vice versa. The same can be said of the spiritual realm and physical realm. If you are at the border i.e. (just) at the speed of light you have the potential to experience either or both; you can experience the spiritual state and the physical state or become fully unified.
