I’ve just listened for the second time and it was as if for the first time. As soon as I say, “I’m awake” that in itself is a wake up call. Who says, “ I am awake?”

Such a clear explanation. This is a brilliant talk that really points the way to pure being. It explains the 'dangers' of ego based claims of enlightenment and the difference between beliefs and Seeing. Pure Being, Experiencing as the non-dual sum of experiencer and any experience, is beyond words, but this is a good pointer in the right direction. Thank You.

Thanks for sharing this. I think that this "click" happened to me a few day ago. Amidst of depression and anxiety, somehow, something from myself got out of it and sensed freedom and detachment, hovering above everything. I dont know how to describe it better. It is not the first time for that to happen, but sometimes it happenes with some practice, and sometimes just out of nothing.

I think I just grokked something.. meaning things I knew intellectually before but now I truly know them. Banal things. I don't need to understand to love. When that struck me I was showering in sensations of universal love. And I suddenly grokked something else. I don't need to make any effort whatsoever for something to exist. It just does. Can't help smiling as I feel tears forming. ❤

The looking and the clicks happening ; they are more like epiphanies which happen galore on the spiritual path. But there is more. One begins with the imaginal deity, but near the acme of the process the deity does come to visit and enter ones body. The deity steps into the body of the sadhak, not metaphorically , but viscerally. Aavesh happens . This is where the sookshma realm has been known. Sookshma energies are felt, sookshma entities are seen. Extra sensory perception through an upgraded nervous system. When deities are seen and felt like other people. That's the acme of tantra. When the self vacates the ' house ' for the deity to reside in. So no it's not all imaginal or archetypal. It's like " please believe this to be true until you know that it's true ".

Great episode! Actually heard it once on your KZbin, but was happy to hear it again in podcast form. Would be very curious to hear what reasons you think were behind that even though you were in a community, with a guru I assume, you still fell into the very understandable trap of reasoning yourself into awakening? A very much see and have in some ways been through that myself, but would have assumed the non-dual Tantra Shaivism and community you had immersed yourself in would have picked up on that pitfall and pointed it out to you quicker than let's say a Vipassana style mindfulness or even a traditional advaita vedanta school would have. Interesting, and lovely, as I have learned so much from him, that it took a rouge like Adyashanti. Also, with there being, seemingly, more and more legit independent teachers who often have gained so much from and respect traditional teachings, but don't necessarily refer to them and remain largely secular - 'awakening for all, no need for traditions' - do you not find yourself ever pulled more and more towards the view that tradition and lineage is more of an obstacle than it is skillful means? I have an undergraduate degree in Buddhist studies - so I totally am still hooked to the traditional side of things- but I wonder to myself is it merely just the aesthetics and romanticism of it? Because, at this stage, as far as impact on my practice/sensible guidance around pitfalls and misunderstandings goes, I would say I have learned equally as much from both camps. But even if it is the aesthetics and poetry of the sages of the past that keep me more rooted on that side, I'm ok with that. Would love hear if you have any more solid arguments why you would recommend a lineage/traditional -ish approach or even specifically Shaivism over the rogue modern day teacher. Love your work.

Hello Hareesh. Thanks again for the books and this channel. I am reading through the ‘Recognition Sutra’. I have a question regarding the Five Acts. I love the concept… also addition of Concealment and Revelation to the regular three, softens one’s own forgetfulness on the path. So the question is that if Concealment is acceptable, even necessary at times for embodied experience… is there still a sense that ‘staying aware all times is better’ … or perhaps i am not understanding it properly? For example the book mentions “living our ordinary daily life in full awareness itself becomes complete meditation, perfect prayer….” Does ‘full awareness’ mean aware at all times; or to be aware of when we are aware and even Concealment/forgetfulness (after coming out of it presumably). Sorry, wasnt sure where to ask the question, so posting here on the latest video. Thanks.

'better' only subjectively speaking, not objectively. and I'm not saying it's possible or necessary to be rooted in awareness (meaning, meta-awareness) all the time, but the more the better, subjectively speaking. also please consider becoming a subscriber to our Tantra Illuminated platform and asking your questions there to get fuller / more detailed answers! :)

Hi Harish Jee, @31:00 , when you speak about how yoga Asana can contribute to awakening, pl can you simplify in easy English to explain the meaning of "And the visceral experience of embodiment which is always already free" What does this mean ? Thanks
@christopherwallis751
@christopherwallis751 7 ай бұрын
Meaning, the experience of the body *as it is in itself*, prior to the mind's judgements or ideas about it. Everything that truly exists is always already free of the mind's judgements, which are just tags added on after the fact that reflect nothing but the mind's conditioning.

​@@christopherwallis751 Thank you v much. I spent 5 years learning to teach Hatha Yoga - so I could learn the alignment - & could practise in solitude, with inward attention. Nowadays, my practise doesn't feel like a physical practise. the Asanas & breath connect me to a space, in which there is no me. No thoughts, no mental chatter. The body gets lighter and eventually melts away , & I feel a deeper energy connection. I never thought of it this way until now, and I still cannot explain it clearly. Hopefully it means I haven't started to judge it yet.or name it. I just know I love going back to it everyday and that's seems good enough🧡🧡

Deity visualisation , along with the entirety of tantric rituals is some kind of auto- suggestion. Mudras are imitating the deity.

No, not directly . . . but it does assert that Shiva entered/possessed a human body to found the formal tradition of Shaivism as Lakulisha.
