VBT 112 meditations

[Unseeking Seeker]

Thought-perception-energy-ego
If these aspects of body-mind narrow
We all forgo

Thought & prejudice & breath & craving cease
Awareness yet is but with no form to appease

Let these reflections deep
Within osmotically seep

Supreme God consciousness enters our innermost casing
Of the Sushumna erect and in bliss so celebrating

[Unseeking Seeker]

Both void & manifestation
Spanda: life pulse vibration
Expanding & contracting
Concealing & revealing
Stupefying & illuminating
Separating & uniting

Shiva’s self luminescence
In playful innocence
Creating a pulse of separation
Culminating in divine union

Paths four for liberation
All found in the void of cessation

Krama: the descent & rise
Resulting in joyful surprise

Or Pratyabhijna: re-cognition
Upon ego delusion dissolution

Whilst Kaula: mukti with bhukti
Embrace & release in continuity

Doing nothing Spanda: resonation
With the omnipresent ॐ vibration

Shiva appears upon the earth
Shakti accompanying as his consort
Both one as Ardhnarishwar indivisible
Render the 112 agamas plain & simple
That for those souls seeking renuion
The path be clear without confusion

This preamble given we yet need education
About the basic mind-body construction

First the purpose
Of this circus

Descending to rise to fulfil the potential
Love in love with love as the ultimate miracle
Father wishing that the son be as He
Striving to become strong and mirrorlessly see

Being absolute and illumined how may we play
Unless immersed in limitations that make us sway

Thus Shiva the magician manifests maya illusion
Layering it with five veils to keep Himself in delusion

Himself? Yes; for God alone exists and nothing else is
All that we see & know & feel is His own elixirous fizz

The first veil being limitation in time
Bound by the linear periodic chime

The second confinement within a boundary
Limitation of space being also illusionary

Third to fifth restricted will, knowledge & power
Bondage to illusion self-blocking the bliss shower

Yet what is manifested from perfection is perfection
Thus concealed in mind-body is innate self-illumination

The earth vehicle an interface ephemeral
Within which pulsates the divine eternal

As the seed of the ultimate having propensity for expansion
The lifetron searches instinctively to reclaim bliss elation

However senses five active are all externalised
Along with lower mind in doership having everything analysed

The secret being that the aspect perfect throbbing within
Is the voice of conscience steering us away from sin

The sin being nothing other than self ignorance
In opting for transience instead of our eternal presence

All the above known from different scriptures
Being in delusion we are now our shadowy caricature

Shiva in compassion then does reveal the 112 meditations
Each of which may grant us here & now instant liberation

Oh! Ok. Good job!

The earth vehicle an interface ephemeral

Ha, I should point Greenslade here, after what I just wrote him.

@ Miss H … hahaha! Why not? I don’t debate with anyone anymore, though

Good, since we don't debate here ---we discuss...it's in the Rules.
And I take any opportunity to remind people of this...we are not like other Forums!

I did place a quote of yours from here in Is time real? :)

[Unseeking Seeker]

We being in a bind
Of limited identity-mind
We do not negate
Rather we cooperate!

We make no fuss
We go where thoughts take us
In the external
As well as in the internal
In the ethereal
Or the feral
No self criticism
We oscillate with the pendulum

There is however one condition
In following the ego suggestion
We see Shiva in each vibration
In all nuances of fullness or cessation

If Shiva be everywhere, where may ego reside
For a Shiva is both outside as well as inside
Ego has no place to hide

So ceasing to measure & size
It does noiselessly vaporise

Notes: VBT stands for Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. It is said to be a dialogue between God Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Parvati asks Shiva the way to freedom from duality and limitation. Shiva then elucidates not one but 112 meditation tools for God realisation. The poem summarises the 90th of the 112 ‘ meditation methods’

~~~~~~~~~~~

Reverse hypnosis

We are here
God too is near
Closer than our skin
He resides in us within
Enlivening our form
By breath warm

Yet here we are
With desires spar
Mirrored by dark fears
Competing with our peers
Until we exit the rat race
Slow down our pace

Thoughts arise
Beheld in surprise
Part of the game divine
What meaning may we assign
To dance of Shiva enigmatic
Fluttering heart ecstatic

We cease to size
As bliss currents rise
Seeing God everywhere
Sidestepping ego borne snare
Our lower mind disappears
Lo behold, God appears

someone asked and so we revealed
112 meditations that heart be healed
essentially there are three categories
to these beautiful meditation stories
and as of inclination we can so choose
stillness resonating as of soul’s muse

the first part deals with divine energy
bringing head and heart into synergy
that kundalini, chi or Holy Spirit may rise
bliss in permanence being offered prize
wherein we imbibe wisdom from heaven
through and within in-form chakras seven

the next sections urge us to choose silence
we rest in awareness sans thought violence
becoming empty within, our ego recedes
residual will we hold onto, doership concedes
nonchalant to outcomes, free from desire
fears too disappear and our soul is all afire

in the third level, we completely disappear
sense of separation ends, we feel God appear
we behold our true Self as God’s living light
ineffable peace in within, gift of clear sight
bilocating between crystallised form and space
each breath we take partakes of God’s grace
