Achala Shakti Yoga
Yoga of Stillness
Energy
Dedication
1.
By the grace of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, these aphorisms were
written.
2.
These aphorisms are dedicated to the living memory of Patanjali who
continues to radiate Enlightenment throughout the atmosphere and
temples of South India.
3.
Patanjali is an embodiment of the stillness-energy
that permeates the
cosmos.
The
Completion
4.
The right utilization of stillness-energy
allows one to
penetrate the subtle layers of mind thus freeing the mind of all
conditionings. Realize this and be free.
5.
Within the nucleus of stillness-energy,
cosmic intelligence is born. Realize this and know all.
6.
The human mind is founded upon stillness-energy.
Realize this and overcome birth and death.
7.
All thoughts, feelings and imaginations are reflecting patterns
operating within and through stillness-energy.
Become aware of
this truth and have power over all.
8.
It is the nature of thought reflections to create the false
impression that stillness-energy
is manifold and
that the mind functions independently of it. Know this and be free
from the source of illusion.
9.
The one who is consciously in tune with and eternally one with
stillness-energy is
God, Brahman, the Absolute Self. Realize this truth and experience
the infinite bliss within.
The
Undertaking
10.
In essence, stillness-energy
has only one
function, to cease all thought patterns within the mind so that the
Self may be fully realized.
11.
As a by-product of this primary function comes increased clarity and
power of thought and visualization.
12.
When one raises their center of awareness to the frequency of the
stillness-energy,
his/her power of
visualization expands into all dimensions of time and space.
13.
With increased power of thought and visualization it becomes
imperative that one cultivate good qualities of mind and eliminate
negative thought patterns and memories as stillness-energy
gives thoughts the
non-local power to manifest relative realities within all planes of
existence.
14.
As one enters more deeply into stillness-energy
through
meditation, the effective limits of space and time are diminished and
as a result his/her intuition and creative capacities are advanced to
the highest degree.
The
Methods of Transference
15.
Stillness-energy is
present within and beyond the hyper-physical and hyper-mental and can
be consciously activated and “stored” in temples and deities
through the proper utilization of various states of matter.
16.
Since the human nervous system is formed by stillness-energy,
when a human being comes into contact with stored stillness-energy
environments or
objects, deep physical and mental energy exchanges take place.
17.
Minds that have already experienced or are operating with an
awareness of the foundational stillness-energy
are more able to
enter into communion and conscious interaction with this intelligent
energy.
18.
The most powerful means of transferring stillness-energy
into a human
nervous system is the initiation by another human nervous system that
has realized a functional oneness with the stillness-energy.
The
Limiting Factors
19.
Nervous systems that are filled with conflicting memories and thought
patterns disperse the stillness-energy
so that it cannot
be properly utilized.
20.
The seeds of desire for the experience of objects and attachment to
the feeling that one knows by means of his/her false self need to be
burned in order for the stillness-energy
to flow through
the nervous system without interruption.
21.
Poor physical functioning due to the misuse of sense organs restricts
the balanced flow of the stillness-energy.
The
Process of Purification
22.
The stillness-energy
helps purify the
neuronal structures of the human nervous system by energizing
individual neurons to vibrate at higher frequencies.
23.
When groups of neurons are energized a harmonizing effect begins in
the mind and subtle spinal centers which allows one to be consciously
aware of the energizing process.
24.
One may then use the light of his/her conscious awareness to
stimulate and quicken the purification process throughout the brain
and subtle spinal centers.
25.
The end result of this process is the merging of awareness with large
groups of harmonized neuronal structures so that the hyper-physical
and hyper-mental meet in energetic union.
26.
A side effect of this union is the experience of limitless bliss.
27.
As one enters into this union more frequently and deeply, the
harmonizing of neuronal structures expands and is retained in the
functional memory of individual neurons and cells throughout the
body.
28.
The conscious movement of body and breath with the intention of
maintaining and intensifying the union of the hyper-physical and
hyper-mental quickens the stabilization of the mind and body in unity
consciousness.
29.
The result of this process is, whereas previously it would take hours
of meditation practice to enter into a state of union, one is now
able to harmonize his/her entire body in a state of blissful union
with a single thought or feeling.
30.
The complete harmonizing of the hyper-physical and hyper-mental
allows one to interact and transcend the deeper mental, subtle,
causal and cosmic planes of existence.
31.
Through a conscious exploration and integration with these planes of
existence, the individual light of consciousness realizes the Source
within the nirvanic plane.
32.
On an absolute level this realization is ultimate, but on the
relative level it is not final since the Realized Soul may continue
to experience, expand and express infinite manifestations on all
planes of existence.
The
Flowing of Grace
33.
For some Realized Souls there arises a motiveless impulse to bring
all levels of creation into a living state of spiritual union.
34.
As this impersonal impulse develops, the Realized Soul becomes a
channel for the Source to express divine grace.
35.
Grace is essentially a consolidated form of stillness-energy
that explicates
itself into the lives and forms it touches on all planes of existence
by its own intrinsic intelligence.
36.
Grace has the power to dispel ignorance and transport one to a state
of supreme perfection as it is a direct expression of the most
fundamental force of nature.
37.
Grace is impersonal and uniform in nature but is expressed uniquely
by the capacity and attributes of individual nervous systems.
38.
The human nervous system is a refined unity of matter evolved for
grace receiving and grace emitting.
The
Sharing of Grace
39.
All human interaction and communication is dependent of varying
degrees of grace.
40.
The effective power of an idea or feeling to get transferred by one
nervous system into another depends on the grace or stillness-energy
stored in the
giver which then becomes expressed physically, verbally or mentally.
41.
With subtle awareness, the grace of any person, object, environment
or idea can be observed and imbibed whether or not the content of
what is observed is intellectually understood.
42.
The ideal of religion is to act as a means of scientifically
enhancing grace giving and receiving between human nervous systems
and their surrounding environments.
43.
The human capacity to feel and express devotion represents the
highest functioning of the human nervous system as it creates an
intense longing to receive and share Universal Grace.
44.
That which is termed compassion is essentially the conscious or
unconscious recognition of a diminished flowing of stillness-energy
in another living
being and allowing oneself to channel consolidated stillness-energy
into any areas of
depression just like water leveling itself within a container.
45.
All communication aims at increased efficiency and clarity of
expression which is ultimately fulfilled in a state of communion.
46.
Communion is the intense sharing of consolidated stillness-energy
between nervous
systems in a state of motionless receptivity and pulsating silence.
The
Cosmic Evolution
47.
As humanity evolves, the human nervous system will have an increased
capacity to retain and emit consolidated stillness-energy
throughout large
spheres of influence on all planes of existence.
48.
Just as high energy neurons harmonize together within the brain, an
increasing number of strong stillness-energy
emitting nervous
systems will gather together forming harmonized centers around the
planet.
49.
These planetary energy centers will emit powerful stillness-energy
vibrations into
the hyper-physical and hyper-mental realms of collective
consciousness thus quickening the purification process of mankind as
a whole.
50.
Humanity will then begin to globally interact, manipulate and
communicate throughout the subtle layers of existence.
51.
The collective emission of stillness-energy
will raise the
vibration of the planet and expand its field of influence in order
that it may harmonize with other high vibration planets.
52.
High vibrational planets will set in motion a collective
harmonization process and work together as great shining lights
radiating stillness-energy
throughout all
spheres of the cosmos.
53.
The culmination of this evolutionary process is the saturation of the
cosmos with universally harmonized stillness-energy
which is the
condition for the creation of numberless universes.
54.
The memory of this cosmic evolution retained from pervious cosmic
cycles is inscribed inside every atom of relative existence.
The
Realized Ones
55.
The Realized Soul is one who penetrates the core of Being to rest in
the Absolute Stillness that is the ever-present origin of existence.
56.
The Jivan-Mukta is one who, like a top spinning in such a way that it
appears to be unmoving, perfectly balances the stillness of his/her
realization of Supreme Rest while energetically radiating this
realization throughout the cosmos by working on all planes of
existence without attachment to the final result.
The
Scientific Support
57.
The term stillness-energy
is not meant to
have a mystical connotation as it points to a basic law of the cosmos
that is simply not yet understood scientifically. But to the
sensitive, its effects can be seen everywhere just as the effects of
gravity were readily apparent before any notion of “gravity”
existed.
58.
Since stillness-energy
operates within
and beyond the hyper-physical and hyper-mental dimensions of
existence, demonstrating it scientifically is problematic under the
present constraints of modern science.
59.
However, developments in the field of quantum physics and
neuro-imaging combined with rigorous phenomological understanding of
the different states of consciousness of Enlightened Masters and
those he/she initiates or heals will prove to be a useful line of
research in demonstrating many effects of stillness-energy.
60.
Once addressed in a satisfactory manner, it will be made clear that
at the core of existence is a power much more fundamental and
stronger then the force of gravity and the nuclear forces that hold
atoms together.
61.
The distant fringes of the cosmic singularity will be seen within
every atom and the motionless pulse of stillness-energy
will be known and
celebrated as the hidden force of nature leading humanity towards
enlightenment.
62.
Humanity will then be able to rejoice with its cosmic brothers who
have already harnessed the hyper-natural power of stillness-energy
and join them in
the divine task of dispelling ignorance and radiating love and light
throughout the universe.
Conclusion
63.
Let these aphorisms contribute to the conscious cooperation with the
stillness-energy so
that its presence, healing intelligence and liberating grace may be
felt in all.
64.
OM Shiva. OM Shakti. OM.
