“The perpetual Kingdom of Radha and Krishna (above in the red lotus flower and unlimited expansions of Vishnu and Lakshmi in the surrounding yellow planets) is made up of personalities (marginal) with eternal devotional bodies, where as the maha-tattva (material universe) and its impersonal escape, is nothing other than the rebellious dreams of just a few of those eternal personalities. Such non-Krishna conscious dreams are contained in outward etheral or biological vessels (or in an impersonal inactive liberated state) that both belong to and are part and parcel of the maha-tattva, which is a dark impermanent cloud where the four-armed expansion of Krishna, the dreaming Maha-Vishnu and his wife Maya devi resides, as shown above” Always chant Hare Krishna!” – Pradyumna Swami
Chapter one
The Kingdom of God (Krishna) is an Eternal Personal Active Loving Devotional Place of unlimited pastimes that is ever lasting and never aging, the atma-vigraha transcendental body (the soul’s real spiritual Krishna Conscious self and form) is always engaged in the personal unlimited varieties of pastimes and relationships serving Krishna - nitya-siddha means - eternally actively established as ones Krishna Conscious devotional form. This is what permanence, perpetual and eternity means – no beginning, no end and never decays or changes yet at the same time, there are always unlimited transcendental changes going on within unlimited pastimes that are illimitably active. In this way, lila-rasa, or the mellows of ones personal pastime with Krishna, can change in the Spiritual Universe in ways that can only be understood as one genuinely awakens their ‘old’ and original Krishna Consciousness, and even then, once established back as their Krishna Conscious real self or atma-jiva-vigraha body, the way Krishna’s perpetual Kingdom is forever disclosed may still be inconceivable and remain a mystery. In other words, even though one has an original nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha or atma-jiva body, even that active body can appear in diverse behavioural ways and outward appearance according to rasa (pastimes with Krishna and His devotees).

Generally nitya-siddha among Vaishnava’s means one never falls to the conditioned living entity stage, known as the jiva-bhuta non-Krishna dreaming conscious condition, which is the sub-conscious lower self (nitya-baddha or eternally conditioned state) that is oblivious to their full Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body in Krishna’s perpetual Kingdom.

The lower conscious self (jiva-bhutah) is always in the nitya-baddha condition of comatose consciousness that can only actively manifest within the perishable material universal dream. Therefore, more or less, their understanding is correct however, even though the nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodies never fall down from Krishna’s Personal Kingdom, the introverted dreaming conscious state ‘within’ which is called the nitya-baddha-jiva-bhutah, can be generated as consciousness from ones real self or nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodily form.

Even though ones original body cannot fall down, it is possible one can enter a trance like consciousness and forget that unique form and consciously fall to the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned state. This is similar to forgetting the biological body while sleeping and dreaming. In simple terms, the atma-vigraha body, or higher conscious awareness in the form of ones real bodily form serving Krishna in the Kingdom of God, is eternally liberated (nitya-siddha) and can never fall down, where as the lower conscious self, manifested as a multiple dreaming bodily identities and forms within the material universe or maha-tattva, is eternally conditioned (nitya-baddha) and is always in that state.

A crude example of understanding the parodox of the eternal liberated state (nitya-siddha) and the eternally conditioned state (nitya-baddha) similtaniously existing at the same time, is within a large building the basement is always at the bottom and the penthouse suite is always at the top. When one is in the penthouse, that does not mean the basement does not exist, it is always there at the bottom of the building. In the same way, both the nitya-baddha and nitya-siddha condition exists eternally and at the same time, it just depends on which condition of consciousness one is in. The nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha condition is one’s real Krishna conscious bodily form, while the nitya-baddha condition is illusion and the concoctions of non-Krishna conscious desires.

This is not difficult to understand if you chant the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, the recommended sacrifice for this age of Kali-yuga. The various Vedic texts tell us that the Kingdom of Krishna is an eternal active place of unlimited pastimes where nothing perishes. Everything in Krishna’s Abode is always eternally there because of the perpetual and imperishable nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or Abode. This also means all of us have an eternal form and relationship that is always with Krishna in His everlasting Abode, that is forever there and has always been there even though from time to time, we are consciously unaware of this everlasting reality due to our forgetfulness and fantasies that create our dreaming secondary consciousness that transmits one to the material universe or nitya-baddha condition of existence.

In a simple way of trying to understand this, all of us dream when we sleep, similarly just like those dreams one has in their biological body, the non-Krishna Conscious illusionary dreams and thoughts manifest a separate dreaming version of the self. A crude example of this is when one is awake in their biological body, or when that body is asleep and one is dreaming, it is the same ‘self’ existing on two completely different levels of consciousness, one as the biological body, the other as dreamed up fantasies that appear real while they are dreaming. In a similar way, ones dreams or thoughts create a separate reality that is real but temporary (unlike the illusionary unreal dreams one has while their biological body is sleeping) and only exists within the maha-tattva when one is unaware of their real original identity and form (The atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body).

This separate reality or lower conscious self that is existent but perishable is called the jiva-bhutah non-Krishna conscious active condition of awareness, that is transferred and exists as individual consciousness within the impermanent realms of the material universal dream under the jurisdiction of Krishna in His Mahan-Vishnu form. This jiva-bhutah state of consciousness can again further transform to the jiva-nikaya inactive condition of awareness, also within the theatre of Maha-Vishnu’s material illusionary universe or apparition, which is a dark cloud of ‘the dreaming’ that is in one corner of Krishna’s Personal Spiritual Creation or Brahmajyoti. This Brahmajyoti/Brahman is effulgence full of unlimited individual devotees as their real body serving on unlimited Spiritual Planets, called Vishnulokas that surrounds/emanates from the body of the Supreme Lord in His Personal Abode called Goloka-Vrndavana Planet.

Insert Painting of a Cowherd boy who turns his back on KRISHNA only for a moment. The inattentive thoughts of the cowherd boy devotee as his nitya-siddha eternally liberated body makes him not only forget Krishna, but also forget his cowherd boy perpetual nitya-siddha-atma-jiva-vigraha body he serves Krishna as. Like in a conscious trance or dream of amnesia, the non-Krishna desires force one to follow the directions of those thoughts as the jiva-bhutah consciousness and transforms into the dreaming illusion trapped in ethereal and biological bodies within material existence and experience repeated birth, disease, old age and death (the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned conscious state).

Even though similar to the dreams one has in their biological body, the dreams transmitted by ones real bodily self (atma-vigraha) are real because the maha-tattva is a real and takes up a quarter of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti. The difference between the Vaikuntha’s and the maha-tattva is the Vaikuntha’s are imperishable while the maha-tattva, except for Maha-Vishnu and His plenory expansions, are perishable and everything their goes through a cycle of creation and annihation or decay and re-construction. Also within the maha-tattva exists a phenomena left over from the presents of the embodied jiva-bhutah consciousness when enthralled in transitory decomposing biological vessels. This fossilized remains is Krishna’s inferior energys that make up the suns, moons, solar systems, galaxies and universes within the maha-tattva. On the other hand, within the Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha realm, everything is living and has eternal form, therefore Krishna’s inferior energies (lifeless matter) does not and cannot exist there. This understanding of the ‘dreaming’ is real but temporary and in no way are exactly like the dreams one has in their biological body, although they are similar.

The other three quarters of the Spiritual Sky, unlike the maha-tattva, never decays and is a perpetual real place of unlimited relationships with the two-armed form of Krishna on His central Goloka-Vrndavana planet, or the four-armed Lord Vishnu on the surrounding Vishnuloka Planets.

The Impersonalist yogis, jnani’s or Impersonalist philosophers are known as Mayavadi’s, they see the universe as unreal and a dreaming illusion. Their understanding is incorrect. The Vaishnava’s see the material dream in a completely different way than the Mayavadi’s, who offensively believes Krishna is also part of their illusionary dream. They cannot understand there are two different forms of reality, ones real while the other is also real, but temporary.

The real eternal aspect of Krishna’s Personal creation is the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti where Krishna’s marginal nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha devotees serve in Goloka-Vrndavana and the Vaikuntha planets.

Also the within the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti, exists a dark cloud known as the maha-tattva (material universes), this place is real but subject to decay and is therefore temporary.

In this book the word ‘dream’ is used to describe the secondary fallen non-Krishna conscious condition of the atma-jiva-vigraha when transmitted as consciousness (jiva-bhutah) to the maha-tattva.

Even on the impermanent heavenly planets within the maha-tattva, ones thoughts and dreams are as real as ones actions however, on our middle earthly planet, it is not like that due to the gross biological containment, which is a further layer of energy, generated by the jiva-bhutah consciousness within the maha-tattva, that covers the ethereal (subtle body) vessel and suppresses ones ability to manifest thoughts or dreams as actions. The subtle body is the original incasement of the jiva-bhutah ‘dreaming’ consciousness when first entering the maha-tattva or material universe. This ethereal body only subsists within the heavenly and lower planetary systems (Explained in more detail on page ?) within the maha-tattva. Both bodies are considered shekels covering the jiva-bhutah consciousness, which is originally transmitted from ones innovative position and individual body within Krishna Lila (on the perpetual Spiritual planets)

In this way of thinking, the material universe is the invented figment of the non-Krishna Conscious self that is transmitted as thoughts of selfish dreams to the maha-tattva (inferior energies or the place where lifeless matter exists) when one’s consciousness is no longer Krishna Conscious, or aware of their own Krishna Conscious body.

Although only similar to one’s dreaming creations while the biological body is sleeping, the jiva-bhutah phantasm becomes their new self, transmitted as a dreaming hallucination to that dark cloud in the Spiritual sky that is under the jurisdiction of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu. This place within one corner of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti is for those who deny their original Krishna Conscious bodily self and live within their own dream creations. In this eternally condition state (nitya-baddha), one is unable to distinguish reality from illusion due to being unable to remember their real perpetual bodily origins in the dynamic blissful active Krishna Conscious service in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Kingdom. This is how forgetfulness of Krishna transports one consciously (not one’s perpetual body) into the impermanent ‘dream’ universe managed not directly by Krishna, but by His Maha-Vishnu expansion whose dreams are the temporary material universe which are simultaneously the dreams originating from the atma-vigraha bodies as the lower conscious self, while forgetful of that Krishna Conscious body.

It is important to understand the fact that ones original body or self never leaves Krishna’s ceaseless Abode, the only way to enter the maha-tattva where Maha-Vishnu is dreaming-up the material manifestation, is through ones own non-Krishna conscious dreams.

Nothing just happens by chance in our material impermanent universe (maha-tattva), everything is constructed and built for the expressions of consciousness that are the desires of ones lower self where one no longer wants to serve Krishna but rather carve out their own existence within the universe of the dreaming (the maha-tattva). In this way ones lower self jiva-bhutah consciousness seeks out happiness by trying many different ethereal or biological bodily garments on, only for the outer covering of the ethereal container to decay and become part of the lifeless (Krishna’s inferior energies).

Srimad Bhagavatam 11.22.56: -

For one who is meditating on sense gratification, material life, although lacking factual existence, does not go away, just as the unpleasant experiences of a dream do not.

Srila Prabhupada: - ‘One may object that if Lord Krishna insists that material life is false, then why should one endeavour to stop it? The Lord therefore explains here that although not factual, material life stubbornly continues for one addicted to sense gratification, just as a frightening dream continues for one merged in sleep. The word avidyamana, "not existing," means that material life is based on mental concoction, in which one thinks, "I am a man," "I am a woman," "I am a doctor," "I am a senator," "I am a street sweeper" and so on. A conditioned soul (jiva-bhutah) enthusiastically performs his activities based on the imaginary identification with the biological body. Thus although the jiva-bhutah exists and the biological body exists, the false identification with the biological body does not exist. Material life, based on a false idea, has no factual existence.

After one awakens from a dream, the dim reflection of the dream may linger in one's memory. Similarly, one engaging in the devotional service of the Lord may be troubled sometimes by the dim reflection of sinful life. One should therefore become strong in Krishna consciousness by hearing the Lord's instructions to Śrī Uddhava.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 11.22.57

Therefore, O Uddhava, do not try to enjoy sense gratification with the material senses. See how illusion based on material dualities prevents one from realizing the self.

Srila Prabhupada: - Everything that exists is the potency and property of the Supreme Lord and meant to be used in His loving service. Seeing material objects as separate from the Lord and thus meant to be possessed and enjoyed by oneself is called vaikalpikam bhramam, the illusion of material duality. When selecting one's personal object of enjoyment, such as food, clothing, residence or vehicle, one considers the relative quality of the object to be acquired. Consequently, in material life one is in constant anxiety, trying to acquire the most excellent sense gratification for one's personal pleasure. If one realizes everything as the property of the Lord, however, he will see everything as meant for the Lord's pleasure. He will feel no personal anxiety, because he is satisfied simply to be engaged in the Lord's loving service. It is not possible to exploit the property of the Lord and at the same time advance in self-realization. End of quotes

When the jiva-bhutah dream conscious becomes manifest due to forgetfulness of Krishna, Krishna also accompanies the dreaming consciousness, not in His original Atma-Vigraha form who resides in Goloka-Vrndavana, but in His Maha-Vishnu expansion who is also dreaming.

In the Vedas there is clear information that the original person in each of the billions upon billions of inconsequential material universes is Brahma, some have four heads others have ten heads while others may have twenty heads etc. Each of the Brahma’s ethereal body originates from an equal amount of Garbhodakasayi Vishnu’s body within those billions upon billions of globes originating from the pours of Maha-Vishnu, which is all part of His dream within the finite (yet infinite) maha-tattva (real but subject to decay), as all ready explained. The third expansion of Maha-Vishnu is Karanadakasayi Vishnu, an expansion of Garbhodakasayi Vishnu, who is also known as the Paramatma whom accompanies all jiva-bhutaha’s entering the maha-tattva from the surrounding perpetual Spritual Sky as transmitted consciousnesses. Such dreaming consciousness originates from perpetual atma-jiva-vigraha body that is eternally Krishna Conscious. Maha Vishnu within the maha-tattva or dark cloud within the Spiritual Sky, is an expansion of infinite number of Vishnu’s in the Vaikuntha’s who each have their own Vishnuloka planet and each have a paticular name like Narayana, Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha etc. All are them are expansions of the original God or Supreme Personality Sri Krishna Caitanya who resides in His Goloka-Vrndavana Planet that is the centre of all creation.

The picture above is of Sri Radha and Krishna sitting on a pink lotus in the Goloka-Vrndavana Planet, far beyond the insignificant mundane material creation (maha-tattva) and past the viraj or Causal Ocean, which is outside the influence of the sleeping Maha-Vishnu, yet still within the vicinity of the maha-tattva, yet out of reach of the vaikuntha lokas.

Krishna’s Perpetual two armed Form/Body is therefore always in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha and so are His inconsequential or marginal nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha servants. It is important to try and understand here, that Krishna’s eternal servants never fall down in their eternal nitya-siddha body, however they can ‘consciously’ forget that body (their real personal form and identity). The only way to never fall down is to always serve Krishna and His devotees and never ever forget Him or them.

Even if one does turn their back on Krishna, they only fall down in a conscious dream state and never as the perpetual body they really are and whom they always will be.

It is important to understand here this ‘fall from grace’ is never a physical fall down, but rather, a conscious fall down due to forgetfulness, like wondering off in a daydream while playing sport and being so absorbed in the daydream, you forget your body and the sport you are involved in. Only in this way can ones conscious awareness fall down or be overwhelmed with self-importance and jealousy of Krishna. As previously emphasized, one never falls away from Krishna’s association in their original atma-vigraha bodily form, but in a dreaming illusionary consciousness that is transmitted to the maha-tattva and embodied in ethereal and biological posts or vessels that are eternally part and parcels of the material universe or maha-tattva. Such vessels or bodies are just like the garments in a fancy dress shop that constantly rented out (on loan) to the visiting transmitted consciousness that dare to enter the domain of mostly non-Krishna conscious dreams within the maha-tattva.

The ethereal and biological costumes (bodies) always belong to the rental agent, whom is Maha-Vishnu. Such costumes follow His script or design that simultaneously meets the desires and requirements of each of the jiva-bhutah consciousnesses renting and visiting from their original source and place in the perpetual Spiritual Sky, outside the maha-tattva. In this way, no ethereal body or biological body ever belongs to the visiting jiva-bhutah. In fact, there are an unlimited number of visiting jiva-bhutah’s who have ‘hired’ such ‘costumes’ in a past material manifestation and others will continue to rent them in future one.

This is another reason why ethereal and biological vessels are impersonal and are simply acting like a puppet on a string, under the control of the Personalities managing the maha-tattva (Maha-Vishnu and His expansions). All ethereal and biological bodies do not represent who one really is in any way!! Understanding this is extremely rare in our primitive 21st century understanding of Spirituality and Vaisnavism.

In line with the previously discussed understanding of the pre-arranged goings on within the maha-tattva, from the bigger picture, it’s all karma. If it happens, then it’s meant to happen and is part of a bigger plan where each jiva-bhutah consciousness follows the already mapped out blue print or pathway they have carved out for themselves and simultaneously prearranged by Maha-Vishnu, whom has built the holideck virtual-reality material universe for all visiting jiva-bhutah’s. Part of this plan is, if one can see a problem, is the certainty to correct it, they can therefore change and repair the problem. In this way even though everything is rearrange, still there is room for change – this is also part of Maha-Vishnu’s potency and inconceivability.

There is a way of seeing past, present and future. And that is by being no longer within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu, both Personalists (devotees of Krishna) and Impersonalists yogis can see this knowledge however, the Impersonalist fall back down into the dreams of Maha-Vishnu and again become covered with by an ethereal and eventually a biological body governed by time and forget what they have seen (every ethereal and biological vessels past present and future). In this fashion, they enter a body they already know the out come of however, because of the influence of time, ethereal, biological, mind, false ego, that are always permanent fixtures of the maha-tattva, they simply forget. Krishna showed all this to Arjuna who become fearful because he could see all the past, present and future due to being outside of the realm of the dreams of Maha-Vishnu. He saw the Universal form of Maha-Vishnu laying down and sleeping and also saw all the vast terrific and horrific dreams He is having – Arjuna was terrified.

Technically all of this is part of the often-inconceivable workings of the highly sophisticated unfolding blueprint or universal dream of Maha-Vishnu. Everything is said to be an illusion however, everything is real but temporary, and that’s the real meaning of this understanding of illusion. In this manner, even in our jiva-bhutah expanded or transmitted consciousness, we are responsible and controlled by the mysterious workings of Karma – unless Krishna intervenes, after all, it is His creation and He is not obliged to follow any rule or regulations – He can do what ever He wants that is inconceivable and beyond our understanding, even when we are our full conscious atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body.

Krishna, on the other hand, can never fall or forget, yet does expand Himself as a dreaming incarnation, not only to create ‘the dreaming’ by accompanying His marginal servants while in their forgetful dreaming lower conscious self or expansion, but also to provide all the facilities they need so they can pursue their non-Krishna conscious desires.

The marginal or insignificant (small in the presents of Krishna) personalities can only consciously fall down and enter ‘the dreaming’ portion of the Spiritual Sky, which is a dark cloud in one corner of the all-pervasive living personified Brahmajyoti. This corner of the Brahmajyoti, or the quarter of the Spiritual Sky, is called the maha-tattva which is the abode of ‘the dreaming’ Maha-Vishnu and His wife Maya Devi. Through the pours on Maha-Vishnu’s skin, the material universes are created, each with a Garbhodakasayi Vishnu and a Brahma, as He breaths out and annihilated as He breaths in. Within each of the unlimited material universes, Krishna, in His Maha-Vishnu form, further expands Himself as Vishnu, Shiva and demigods headed by Brahma (33, 000,000 of them in our universe) who act like ministers with their portfolio’s in a Government under the direction of the Prim-Minster or President. They help facilitate, maintain and build the material manifestation. Lord Shiva’s duty is to also annihilate it when the time comes for the universe to be withdrawn back into the bodily pours of Maha-Vishnu. Maha-Vishnu is always there in the maha-tattva ‘causal waters’ ‘dreaming-up’ an infinite number of finite material universes.

Garbhodakasayi Vishnu Maya Devi and Brahma
Maha-Vishnu therefore manages ‘the dreaming nitya-baddha condition’ and fulfils the dreaming mistaken desires of the jiva-bhutah’s lower-self non-Krishna conscious circumstances as they live out their imaginings in total denial or memory of their original atma-vigraha body.

If the marginal individual personalities scope of influence (sakti) did not have the ability to choose by between their higher self Krishna conscious bodily form and their lower self independent non-Krishna conscious creations in the expressions of illusionary dreams, then there can be no question of love – this is why the atma-vigraha’s (ones real devotional bodily self) have a lower conscious dreaming expansion of the self manifested as the dreaming jiva-bhutah/jiva-nikaya sub-conscious state that is only activated when one is not serving Krishna.

Another way of understanding this is where there is light (Krishna consciousness), there is no darkness (material consciousness and Impersonalism) and where there is darkness, there is no light. This is the theme on Srila Prabhupada’s Back To Godhead Magazine cover

The Sanskrit word jiva-sakti means the influence of the atma-jiva or atma-vigraha while established in ones higher conscious self that manifests as selfless devotional service and also means the attribute or influence the individual jiva-bhuttah/jiva-nikaya or lower conscious self has within the material universe.

Because the atma-vigraha devotee’s are separate individual from Krishna, jiva-sakti refers to that separate identity, individuality and form as marginal. This is because living entity or atma-vigraha devotee’s constitution is a secondary independent entity from Krishna that is fully dependant of Krishna regardless of their position in reality (Vaikuntha) or illusion (maha-tattva).

What is marginal?

It is obvious that the nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha body is the higher self or marginal condition and the nitya-bhadda-jiva-bhutah consciousness is the lower self or marginal dreaming manifestation. This is explained in detail on page 146.

The word sakti means power, attribute, potency, energy, influence, control, clout, mussel, weapondary, force, vigour, liveliness, strength, effectiveness and aura of the jiva-atma-vigraha real self in the Goloka-Vrndavana Spiritual Sky or the jiva-bhutah conscious self trapped dreaming within the universe where Maha-Vishnu is also dreaming.

As already mentioned, Krishna also has a dreaming expansion of Himself called Maha-Vishnu whose dreams are the material universal creation and the dreams of the jiva-bhutah transmitted consciousness. In this way, whether one is aware of it or not, Krishna is always the only provider of everything even in their dreams because He is the cause of all causes. Krishna does not however interfere with the dreaming jiva-bhutah’s consciousness as they create their destiny within the material universe. Krishna more or less says, if you want to do your own thing, then you are responsible not Me, don’t blame Me. Those who do not understand karma and reincarnation cannot not comprehend that is ones own previous actions in a previous life that determines ones suffering and enjoyment within the material universe. Nothing happens by luck or chance.

The duty of Krishna’s dreaming Maha-Vishnu expansion is to provide the environmental conditions to assist their desires that exist under the strict laws of karma. Krishna never forces anyone to remember their real identity or body, that choice is always yours. You can wake up as ones real self in your original rasa (pastime with Krishna) or you can forget it for almost an eternity and be content living out your own desires and dreams in the material universe constantly experiencing birth, disease, old age, death and rebirth. By building your dreams, they carve your illusionary existence through many millions of life times within the material maha-tattva that is facilitated and provided by Maha-Vishnu. His dreams are your dreams.

As already mentioned, the atma-vigraha devotee’s or the supplementary personified individual potency or energy of Krishna as their original bodily forms, have a tendency to forget Krishna from time to time and project a lower dreaming consciousness in defiance of their real devotional atma-vigraha body. This ‘lower self’ transmits them to the impermanent ethereal, biological and material manifestation. Krishna also has a dreaming expansion of Himself that is unlike the consciousness of the insignificant atma-vigraha devotees. This is like comparing the sunrays (marginal living entities or atma-vigraha bodies) to the sun (Krishna). Even though Maha-Vishnu is dreaming, He is simultaneously fully awake as the four-armed Vishnu in Vaikuntha and His original two armed, Lord Krishna in Goloka-Vrndavana. The individual inconsequential atma-vigraha devotee’s are incapable of doing this, although nothing is impossible as this is Krishna’s creation, He makes the rules and He can change them when He feels fit. It is said that that the great Vaishnava devotee Naradha Muni travels also within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu in His original atma-vigraha body. Krishna is the cause of all causes and His unlimited expansions and inner circle devotees are unaffected by this change.

Krishna facilitates, creates and accompanies the fallen transmitted jiva-bhutah conscious to its desired dreaming destinations within the material universe. This duty is performed by Maha-Vishnu, whose dreams are simultaneously the transmitted jiva-bhutah’s dreams. Only when one is free from their own dreaming consciousness within the material dream (yet still unaware of their real Krishna Conscious bodily identity) can they exist out-side the realm of Maha-Vishnu’s dreams, but still dreaming (in a dreamless inactive state) within the dominion of the causal ocean where the Brahma-sayujya or Impersonal Brahmajoyti exists. The jiva-bhutah’s transformation into the dormant jiva-nikaya’s individual consciousness that merges within the Brahma-sayujya (Impersonal Brahmajyoti), can only happed when one is fed up attempting to enjoy within with the transitory frustrating ethereal and biological bodies within the always decaying material existence (inferior energy).

Maha-Vishnu’s duties include facilitating the dreaming lower forgetful consciousness of the atma-vigraha’s and directing them to their desired destination amongst the billions upon Billions of material universes (In both sub-space and secular space) that are constructed by His various representatives and demi-gods for the jiva-bhutah transmitted dreaming consciousness. The demi-gods function is to fulfil the material desires (dreams) of those who turn their back on Krishna where one simultaneously forgets their real perpetual bodily form they serve Krishna as. Maha-tattva also hosts Krishna’s pastimes and pure devotees when He appears for Lila duty within the maha-tattva.

Within the maha-tattva there are two basic realities

Maha-Vishnu’s obligation, and the role of the demigods under His jurisdiction within the maha-tattva or material manifestation, is often unpleasant due to the non-Krishna conscious desires or thoughts of those who have ‘consciously separated, spilt or divided’ from their real jiva-atma-vigraha self. This partition of consciousness means they are no longer aware of their Krishna conscious original body because they have opted to create their own existence in defiance of Krishna. In this way, ones lower non-Krishna conscious state goes through a transformation that places it within the ‘dream universe’ of Maha-Vishnu, where He and His representative demigods facilitate or build the ethereal, biological and material condition that meet the requirements of the jiva-bhutah transmitted dreaming conscious desires.

The Vishnuloka planets that are eternally maintained by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna in His Vishnu form surround the centre of the universal Creation, which is the topmost Spiritual Planet, Goloka-Vrndavana or Krishnaloka. Krishna’s Personal universe is also known as the Personal Brahmajyoti, or just Brahmajyoti, which fills all space in every direction however; there is also a secondary universe that technically also has no beginning or end called the maha-tattva. The Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha universe is real, unchanging and timeless; the secondary universe on the other hand, is a place where ones lower dreaming consciousness temporarily resides (not as there perpetual body), but as a protracted consciousness radiated from their full consciousness or body when they forget Krishna’s interminable abode (like wondering off into a dream while ones biological sleeping body has not moved from the bed), as already explained and will always need further clarification because of our conditioned consciousness that makes us foolishly believe we are these biological bodily containers.

This secondary shadowy universe, also in the Brahmajyoti, is a real reality but temporary phenomena controlled by time, forgetfulness, envy, jealously, lust, anger, greed, the hunger for power and to be worshiped like Krishna, impermanence, flickering enjoyment, arrogance, selfishness, self righteousness, suffering, birth, disease, old age and death. This inferior (where lifeless matter exists) universal phenomenon is where the dreaming Maha-Vishnu resides who accommodates ones dreaming lower conscious dreaming self-illusions. He’s abode is an extension of Krishna’s Personal Brahmajyoti/Brahman effulgence transformed from the real reality of individual personalities serving Krishna, to the same individual personalities in their non-Krishna lower conscious illusion or dream. Like switching the light on there can be no darkness, on the other hand as soon as you switch the light out, that same space becomes darkness. In the same way this is how the personal Brahmajyoti and the Impersonal Brahmajyoti exist in the same space. It’s all bases on ones conscious awareness.

The maha-tattva is the place in creation created for those who do not want to be with Krishna. Therefore, their imagination takes them to that provisional abode Krishna has created for them that is also naturally the Brahmajyoti yet in its darkened state that appears like a dark cloud in the Spiritual Sky. The trance like dreaming consciousness of those personalities who choose to cross over into the detached temporary universe of the dreaming, existing as a dark cloud in one corner of the Brahmajyoti, always have that choice or independence to serve Krishna or forget Him. In this way, the dark cloud is real but temporary and exists in the Brahmajyoti side by side with the surrounding Vaikuntha planets, yet those souls (transferred consciousness) trapped in the dark cloud are unable to realize or acknowledge the existence of Vaikuntha or their original atma-jiva bodily form due to their non-Krishna conscious Impersonal nature.

The maha-tattva is real yet is called an illusion or dream because of its temporary nature; where as reality (the Vaikunthas) is permanent, imperishable, and always actively alive in the service of Krishna and never fades.

The dark cloud that takes up a quarter of the Brahmajyoti on the other hand, is real but impermanent, perishable and always fades in and out of existence like a mirage in the desert. The dark cloud or maha-tattva (the material manifestation) nonetheless, is still part of the Brahmajyoti, yet is already darkened due to the individual dreaming non-Krishna conscious thoughts that are transmitted there. It is only there, within the maha-tattva, such dreaming self-centered desires exist. This diseased condition infects those who choose to forget Krishna and the real bodily form they serve Krishna as. Only within the maha-tattva or material manifestation under the jurisdiction of the sleeping and dreaming Maha-Vishnu, can their introverted selfish dreaming consciousness exist. This condition of ignorance is similar (but not the same) to ones dreams and fantasies experienced as real while ones biological bodily is asleep or daydreaming. The dark cloud (maha-tattva) is where ones introverted dreaming forgetful consciousness becomes active however, the knowledge to tell the difference between dreams and reality is lost. We forced Krishna to allow us to come to this material universe, He warned us, but we came anyway. He left that choice up to us.

The ethereal and biological vessels that the jiva-bhutah consciousness possesses/creates (under the collaboration of Maha Vishnu), as well as the material energy and elements (fossilized remains) that are left over as a consequence of possessing impermanent biological bodies (inferior energy or separated [from life] energies), such lifeless matter is also under the jurisdiction of Maha-Vishnu and molded into planets, moons and suns by the demigods however, there is always a lifeless component of dust particles, rocks, gases, and even dead planets, where neither ethereal or biological life exist, within the maha tattva. Maha-Vishnu is not directly responsible for the lifeless matter aspect of the maha-tattva or material universe, the jiva-bhutah dreaming consciousness is as explained above.
When the atma-vigraha devotee’s dream in forgetfulness of Krishna and their permanent Spiritual body, Krishna also accompanies their dreaming lower consciousness by entering into a dream state with them. This expansion of Krishna dreaming is called Maha-Vishnu. Krishna, though, always remains the two armed Krishna or Shamasundara in Goloka-Vrndavana even while simultaneously expanding Himself as Maha-Vishnu. The atma-vigraha devotee’s are incapable of imitating Krishna in this way. The two-armed form Krishna is always within His original spiritual planet with His loving devotees, which resembles the whorl of a huge lotus flower called Goloka-Vrndavana. This transcendental place is the highest abode of Lord Krishna, the original Personality of Godhead. In this way, Krishna’s original planet, Goloka-Vrndavana, throws off a spiritual ray of effulgence called the brahmajyoti that is all the individual atma-vigraha devotee’s bodily personalities, oftern refered to as spiritual sparks within/as the Brahmajyoti. There are also unlimited Spiritual planets surrounding Goloka-Vrndavana where the so-called spiritual sparks (atma-jiva-vigraha devotee’s) eternally reside serving Vishnu or Krishna.

On these Vishnuloka planets they serve Krishna’s eternal four-armed Vishnu incarnation or expansion. These Brahmajoyti planets extend out to the far reaches of the Spiritual sky that also eventually includes the abode of Maha-Vishnu who residence is in one quarter of the Personal Brahmajyoti however, within Maha-Vishnu’s material cosmic dream manifestation, the whole Spiritual universe changes (except for Maha-Vishnu and His internal expansions) because, in that corner of creation within the Brahmajyoti, the Krishna Conscious nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha’s personalities, who eternally serve Krishna, cannot exist there unless the atma-vigraha devotee’s forget Krishna. That forgetfulness manifests a phenomenon from within their own bodies, that radiate’s a secondary self (nitya-baddha-jiva-bhutah condition) existing as dreams (real but temporary).

Only in that independent self-centered dream (always desiring to be served instead of serving Krishna), does the jiva-bhutah dreaming consciousness hook-up with the dreams of Maha-Vishnu. In this way the jiva-bhutah dream state and the dreams of maha-Vishnu become one. The Impersonalists and Mayavardis cannot understand the chain of events that leads the individual jiva-bhutah consciousness and the dreams of maha-Vishnu to appear as one and the same. This is due to the Mayavardis not seeing the full picture of universal creation. They cannot see, believe nor comprehend the Personal perpetual Spiritual Sky outside the realm of the maha-tattva. They have no devotion to understand that the vast universe they imagine themselves to exist in, is only one quarter of the entire creation. In this way, they exist in a self-deluded impersonal universe they think is all one – I am you, you are me, and we are all together. The paradox here is the jiva-bhutahs dreams are the dreams of Maha-Vishnu. Individuality is never lost although the jiva-bhutah consciousness cannot only imagine itself as all one but can imagine itself as everyone. The material universe (maha-tattva) can be an extremely dangerious place where one can stay for almost an eternity, if they stubbornly choose not to serve Krishna and therefore rewaken their ‘old’ Krishna Consciousness – even a seeming eternity is just the blink of the eye (not even that) in the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky.

Maha-Vishnu’s dreams are your reality within the Impersonal material universe. Only non-Krishna conscious dreams can transfer you, while in total forgetfulness of your real Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body, from the personal Brahmajyoti in the Spiritual Sky to the ‘dark cloud of dreaming’, which is the material and Impersonal universe that exists within the dark agitated storm cloud for those who want to live their dreams without Krishna.

Keep in mind the Personal Brahmajyoti is made up of the Vishnu planets and the atma-vigraha devotees, who are within Krishna Consciousness (Vaikuntha – nitya-siddha) and without Krishna consciousness (maha-tatva – nitya-baddha). Along these lines, the Personal effulgence surrounding this dark cloud or maha-tattva is also technically the Brahmajyoti, even in its Impersonal manifestation as materialism, the Brahma-sayajyu and the impersonal Brahmajoyti. It is all created by the secondary dreaming jiva-bhutah consciousness and transmitted from ones original self in Goloka-Vrndavan/Vaikuntha in an alliance with the sleeping Maha-Vishnu, who is ultimately an expansion of Krishna in Goloka-Vrndavan.
The dark cloud is simply a broadcast transmitted from the Personal Brahmajyoti of atma-vigraha bodies and projected or played in the holodeck of the maha-tattva that is real, but subject to forgetfulness and impermanance.

Devotee -: In the Srimad-Bhagavatam, it says that Krishna did not want us to come to this material world. If Krishna did not want us to come, why are we here?

Prabhupada: ‘Yes. You forced Krishna to allow you to come. Just like sometimes a child forces his father. Father says, "My dear son, do not do this. Do not go there." But he insists, "Oh, I must go. I must go." "All right, you go at your risk. That's all. And you suffer. What can be done?" Because you are son of God--God has got independence, full independence, almighty--therefore you have acquired the quality of your father. You have got little independence. So God does not interfere with your little independence. If you persist that "I must go and enjoy independently," so God says, "All right, you can go." This is the position. You have to take sanction. That is a fact. But when you persist, God sanctions. And you come and enjoy. Beginning from Lord Brahma down to the worms in the stool, gradually, according to your work, according to your desire, you manufacture your different types of body and enjoy and suffer. That's all. That is explained. Prakrti-stho hi bhunkte prakrti-jan gunan. And as soon as you became entangled in different types of punishment, not enjoyment but punishment.

So in this way, being punished in different types of life, when we come to the sense... That sense can come in human form of life. When we understand that "I have traveled through, in, transmigrated from many species of life, but every life I can see, not that I have forgotten. Even if I have forgotten, I can see the suffering of the cats, dogs, tiger, man, bulldog and everyone. So I had all these lives in the past. Evolutionary process, I have come to this human. So I suffered all these things. So when the question comes, "Why shall I suffer?" then the inquiry--this is called, Vedanta-sutra, athato brahma-jijnasa--the inquiry of God begins. That is human life. Yes.

Question: - Is Krishna a person God?

Prabhupada: - Yes, God is person, like you and me. You can go and talk with Him, he qualified for that pur... Nitya nitya... This is Vedic injunction. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam. God is eternal among all other eternals. We are all eternal, and God is the chief eternal. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam. We are also cognizant and God is also cognizant. The difference is that I am cognizant with a limited space and God is cognizant throughout the whole universe. But He is also cognizant. He is also person. I am also person. What is the difference? Eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman. That one maintains all these innumerable living entities. Therefore in the Bible you go and ask God give us our daily bread, He is maintaining. That is the difference between God and us. We are maintained and God is the maintainer. We are predominated and God is the predominator. That is the difference. He is a person, we are also persons, He is eternal, we are eternal, He is cognizant, we are cognizant.

And all the desires and propensities what God has got, we have also got. God has got this propensity to love Radharani. We have got also the same propensity to love another young girl or young boy. So originally it is there. Therefore in the Vedanta-sutra it is said janmady asya yatah. God means from whom everything has come. So if there is a question of love, the (indistinct) a man loving a woman and woman loving a man, that is in God. It must be there. Otherwise wherefrom it has come?

But that is pure and here it is impure on account of this material contamination. The thing is there but it is contaminated. Therefore you feel frustration. So intelligence is the why shall I remain in this contaminated position? I shall go to the pure platform. That is Krishna consciousness.

Question: - Why didn't anyone see Krishna's universal form before Arjuna? Krishna said no one has seen before Arjuna. Why is that?

Prabhupada: You become like Arjuna, you will see. First of all you become like Arjuna, friend of Krishna. Then you will see. Do you think you are as good as Arjuna? Krishna says, Arjuna addressing, that I am instructing to you my dear Arjuna, because you are my dear friend. And you are very great devotee. Bhakto 'si priyo 'si me rahasyam etad uttamam. I am speaking to you this Bhagavad-gita because you are qualified. What is that qualification? Because you are My devotee and very intimate friend. So you become also intimate friend and devotee, you will understand everything. That is our request. If Arjuna becomes a friend and devotee you can also become. Why you are losing this opportunity? That is our propaganda. You also become a friend, a devotee, and be happy and see Krishna as He is simply symbolic representation. He says everyone. Let us take this opportunity and become like Arjuna. That is perfection of life.’ End of Srila Prabhupada’s comments - Bhagavad Gita 3.27 Lecture at the Town Hall, Melbourne Australia 1974

This knowledge of ones original position as a servant of Krishna will protect one from the illusionary goings on within material existence. When sickness or death of loved one occures, it is simply the workings of karma, the jiva-bhutah consciousness moves on to another vessel in the endless search for happyness. At anytime one can be forced to vacate their biological body because the ‘bank balance’ of certain karma runs out. This knowledge of Krishna Consciousness can protect one from the ignorant, painful lamentation of a friend or relative’s death, and the illusions one’s own mind throws at one when death comes.

Question:

I am bringing to your kind consideration the case of a close acquaintance of mine. She is a lady who dearly loved and trusted her husband, but was then cruelly abandoned by him. It has caused a deep wound in her. She now finds no meaning in life. Sir, what is she supposed to do? She gets suicidal thoughts very often. Is there any meaning to her life? It would be very grateful of you, if you can please shed some light in this matter.

Srila Prabhupada: - Surrender to Krishna…Your friend should not be so disturbed. Her husband was her wife in a previous lifetime whom she cruelly abandoned. Now her former wife has taken birth and become her husband so she can get her revenge by becoming her husband and similarly abandoning her.
Instead of being disturbed, your friend now should be resolved to get out of karma-chakra, the wheel of karma, and go back to her original position in the spiritual world before she fell down into this material world by fully surrendering herself at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master. Only this will make her fully happy.

Suicide will not help her. Her karma will haunt her birth after birth until she fully surrenders to Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The Impersonalist yogis, Buddhists, Jains and Mayavadis cannot enter or merge their individuality into that surrounding active living Personal Brahmajyoti, they can only enter (temporally) into the Impersonal void aspect that exists only within the maha-tattva because they do not believe in individuality. They also believe the material universe is an unreal illusion which is also incorrect. The material universe is real but temporary phenomenon.

Note: - the Personal devotional active effulgence or Brahmajyoti is not practicals of light; it is individual personalities with eternal bodily form that is always Krishna Conscious. This conversion from Personal to Impersonal happens in this way, when the Brahmajyoti, which is Krishna’s atma-vigraha devotees as well as all his various Spiritual planets, consciously alter from being aware of their Brahmajyoti-effulgent Krishna conscious atma-vigraha’s body, to denying its existence, due to turning ones back on Krishna and therefore expanding to the lower secondary dreaming conditional state of consciousness.

In this way, ones conscious position and awareness within the Personal Brahmajyoti, is transported to the dominion of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu within the dark cloud or maha-tattva. It is that secondary consciousness, that originally and eternally emanates from ones atma-vigraha or the Personal brahmajyoti effulgence, that can eventually, not just enter the Impersonal Brahmajyoti, but is an inactive living individual dreaming consciousness or shadow of the personal Brahmajyoti that is now consciously transferred into the Impersonal Brahmajyoti.

Talking about Origin of the jiva soul

 Quote

Origin of the jiva soul
MORE FROM THE SECRET BOOK OF ORIGINS.
QUANTUM PHYSICS OR THE SCIENCE OF POSSIBILITIES. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIVERSAL CREATION
16th Jan 2007
 
Krishna's abode is an Eternal Personal Active Loving Devotional Place of unlimited pastimes that is ever lasting and never aging, the atma-vigraha transcendental body (the soul’s real spiritual Krishna Conscious self and form) is always engaged in the personal unlimited varieties of pastimes and relationships serving Krishna - nitya-siddha means - eternally actively established as ones Krishna Conscious devotional form. This is what permanence, perpetual and eternity means – no beginning, no end and never decays or changes yet at the same time, there are always unlimited transcendental changes going on within unlimited pastimes that are illimitably active.
 
In this way, lila-rasa, or the mellows of ones personal pastime with Krishna, can change in the Spiritual Universe in ways that can only be understood as one genuinely awakens their ‘old’ and original Krishna Consciousness, and even then, once established back as their Krishna Conscious real self or atma-jiva-vigraha body, the way Krishna’s perpetual Kingdom is forever disclosed may still be inconceivable and remain a mystery. In other words, even though one has an original nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha or atma-jiva body, even that active body can appear in diverse behavioural ways and outward appearance according to rasa (pastimes with Krishna and His devotees). Generally nitya-siddha among Vaishnava’s means one never falls to the conditioned living entity stage, known as the jiva-bhuta non-Krishna dreaming conscious condition, which is the sub-conscious lower self (nitya-baddha or eternally conditioned state) that is oblivious to their full Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body in Krishna’s perpetual Kingdom.
 
The lower conscious self (jiva-bhutah) is always in the nitya-baddha condition of comatose consciousness that can only actively manifest within the perishable material universal dream. Therefore, more or less, their understanding is correct however, even though the nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodies never fall down from Krishna’s Personal Kingdom, the introverted dreaming conscious state ‘within’ which is called the nitya-baddha-jiva-bhutah, can be generated as consciousness from ones real self or nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha bodily form. Even though ones original body cannot fall down, it is possible one can enter a trance like consciousness and forget that unique form and consciously fall to the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned state. This is similar to forgetting the biological body while sleeping and dreaming.  In simple terms, the atma-vigraha body, or higher conscious awareness in the form of ones real bodily form serving Krishna in the Kingdom of God is eternally liberated (nitya-siddha) and can never fall down, where as the lower conscious self, manifested as a multiple dreaming bodily identities and forms within the material universe or maha-tattva, is eternally conditioned (nitya-baddha) and is always in that state.
 
A crude example of understanding the eternal liberated state (nitya-siddha) and the eternally conditioned state (nitya-baddha) is within a large building, the basement is always at the bottom and the penthouse suite is always at the top, when one is in the penthouse, that does not mean the basement does not exist, it is always there at the bottom of the building. In the same way, both the nitya-baddha and nitya-siddha condition exists eternally and at the same time. It depends on which condition of consciousness one is in. The nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha condition is one’s real Krishna conscious bodily form, while the nitya-baddha condition is illusion and the concoctions of non-Krishna conscious desires.
 
This is not difficult to understand, the various Vedic texts tell us that the Kingdom of Krishna is an eternal active place of unlimited pastimes where nothing perishes. Everything in Krishna’s Abode is always eternally there because of the perpetual and imperishable nature of His Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky or Abode. This also means all of us have an eternal form and relationship that is always with Krishna in His everlasting Abode, that is forever there and has always been there even though from time to time, we are consciously unaware of this everlasting reality due to our forgetfulness and fantasies that create our dreaming secondary consciousness that transmits one to the material universe or nitya-baddha condition of existence.
 
Just like the dreams one has in their biological body, the non-Krishna Conscious illusionary dreams and thoughts manifest a separate version of the self. A crude example of this is when one is awake in their biological body, or when that body is asleep and one is dreaming, it is the same ‘self’ existing on two completely different levels of consciousness, one as the biological body, the other as dreamed up fantasies that appear real while they are dreaming. In a similar way, ones dreams or thoughts (unlike the illusionary unreal dreams one has while their biological body is sleeping) create a separate reality that is real but temporary and only exists within the maha-tattva when one is unaware of their real original identity and form (The atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body).
 
This separate reality or lower conscious self that is existent but perishable is called the jiva-bhutah non-Krishna conscious active condition of awareness, that is transferred and exists within the impermanent realms of the material universes or dreams under the jurisdiction of Krishna in His Mahan-Vishnu form, This state of consciousness can again further transform to the jiva-nikaya inactive condition of awareness, also within the theatre of Maha-Vishnu’s material illusionary universe or apparition, which is a dark cloud of ‘the dreaming’ that is in one corner of Krishna’s Personal Spiritual Creation or Brahmajyoti. This Brahmajyoti/Brahman is an effulgence full of unlimited individual devotees as their real body serving on unlimited Spiritual Planets that surrounds/emanates from the body of the Supreme Lord in His Personal Abode called Goloka-Vrndavana Planet.
 
Insert Painting of a Cowherd boy who turns his back on KRISHNA only for a moment. The inattentive thoughts of the cowherd boy devotee as his nitya-siddha eternally liberated body makes him not only forget Krishna, but also forget his cowherd boy perpetual nitya-siddha-atma-jiva-vigraha body he serves Krishna as. Like in a conscious trance or dream of amnesia, the non-Krishna desires force one to follow the directions of those thoughts as the jiva-bhutah consciousness and transforms into the dreaming illusion trapped in ethereal and biological bodies within material existence and experience repeated birth, disease, old age and death (the nitya-baddha eternally conditioned conscious state).
 
Even though similar to the dreams one has in their biological body, the dreams transmitted by ones real self (atma-vigraha) are real (but temporary) because the maha-tattva is a real (but temporary) and takes up a quarter of the Spirtual Sky or Brahmajyoti. In no way are they exactly like the dreams one has in their biological body, although similar. The other three quarters of the Spiritual Sky, unlike the maha-tattva, never decays and is a perpetual real place of unlimited realationships with the two-armed form of Krishna on His central Goloka-Vrndavana planet, or the four-armed Lord Vishnu on the surrounding Vishnuloka planets.
 
The Impersonalist yogis, jnani’s or Impersonalist philosophers are known as Mayavadi’s, they see the universe as unreal and a dreaming illusion. Their understanding is incorrect. The Vaisnava’s see the material dream in a completely different way than the Mayavadi’s, who offensively believe Krishna is also part of their illusionary dream. They cannot understand there are two different forms of reality, ones real while the other is also real, but temporary.
 
The real eternal aspect of Krishna’s Personal creation is the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti where Krishna’s marginal nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha devotees serve in Goloka-Vrndavana and the Vaikuntha planets.
Also the within the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti, exists a dark cloud known as the maha-tattva (material universes), this place is real but subject to decay and is therefore temporary.
 
In this book the word ‘dream’ is used to describe the secondary fallen non-Krishna conscious condition of the atma-jiva-vigraha when transmitted as consciousness (jiva-bhutah) to the maha-tattva.
 
Even on the impermanent heavenly planets within the maha-tattva, ones thoughts and dreams are as real as ones actions however, on our middle earthly planet, it is not like that due to the gross biological containment, which is a further layer of energy, generated by the jiva-bhutah consciousness within the maha-tattva, that covers the ethereal (subtle body) vessel and suppresses ones ability to manifest thoughts or dreams as actions.
 
The subtle body is the original incasement of the jiva-bhutah ‘dreaming’ consciousness when first entering the maha-tattva. This ethereal body only subsists within the heavenly and lower planetary systems (Explained in more detail on page ?) within the maha-tattva. Both bodies are considered shekels covering the jiva-bhutah consciousness, which is originally transmitted from ones innovative position and individual body within Krishna Lila (on the perpetual Spiritual planets)
 
Only in this way is the material universe the invented figment of the non-Krishna Conscious self that is transmitted as thoughts of selfish dreams to the maha-tattva (inferior energies or the place where lifeless matter exists) when one’s consciousness is no longer Krishna Conscious, or aware of their Krishna Conscious body.
 
Although similar to one’s dreaming creations while the biological body is sleeping, the jiva-bhutah phantasm becomes their new self, transmitted as a dreaming hallucination to that dark cloud in the Spiritual sky that is under the jurisdiction of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu. This place within one corner of the Spiritual Sky or Brahmajyoti is for those who deny their original Krishna Conscious bodily self and live within their own dream creations. In this eternally condition state (nitya-baddha), one is unable to distinguish reality from illusion due to being unable to remember their real perpetual bodily origins in the dynamic blissful active Krishna Conscious service in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Kingdom. This is how forgetfulness of Krishna transports one consciously (not one’s perpetual body) into the impermanent ‘dream’ universe managed not directly by Krishna, but by His Maha-Vishnu expansion whose dreams are the temporary material universe which are simultaneously the dreams originating from the atma-vigraha bodies as the lower conscious self, while forgetful of that Krishna Conscious body.
 
It is important to understand the fact that ones original body or self never leaves Krishna’s ceaseless Abode, the only way to enter the maha-tattva where Maha-Vishnu is dreaming-up the material manifestation is through ones own dreams.
 
Nothing just happens by chance in our material impermanent universe (maha-tattva), everything is constructed and built for the expressions of consciousness that are the desires of ones lower self where one no longer wants to serve Krishna but rather carve out their own existence within the universe of the dreaming (the maha-tattva).
In the Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 11:22.54-57 it is stated: -
 
The soul's material life, his experience of sense gratification, is actually false, O descendant of Dasarha, just like trees' appearance of quivering when the trees are reflected in agitated water, or like the earth's appearance of spinning due to one's spinning his eyes around, or like the world of a fantasy or dream.
 
Srila Prabhupada: - ‘Trees appear to be swaying when reflected in agitated water, and similarly, when one is sitting on a moving boat the trees on the shore appear to be moving. When the wind whips up the water, creating waves, the water appears to have movement of its own, although it is actually being moved by the wind. The conditioned soul (jiva-bhutah) in material life does not perform any activities, but rather the biological body, with the consent of the illusioned living entity or jiva-bhutah, is being moved by the modes of nature. One imposes this external movement upon oneself, considering oneself to be dancing, singing, running, dying, conquering and so on, although these are merely interactions of the external biological body with the modes of nature’. End of quote
Srimad Bhagavatam 11.22.56
 
For one who is meditating on sense gratification, material life, although lacking factual existence, does not go away, just as the unpleasant experiences of a dream do not.
 
Srila Prabhupada: - ‘One may object that if Lord Krishna insists that material life is false, then why should one endeavour to stop it? The Lord therefore explains here that although not factual, material life stubbornly continues for one addicted to sense gratification, just as a frightening dream continues for one merged in sleep. The word avidyamana, "not existing," means that material life is based on mental concoction, in which one thinks, "I am a man," "I am a woman," "I am a doctor," "I am a senator," "I am a street sweeper" and so on. A conditioned soul (jiva-bhutah) enthusiastically performs his activities based on the imaginary identification with the biological body. Thus although the jiva-bhutah exists and the biological body exists, the false identification with the biological body does not exist. Material life, based on a false idea, has no factual existence.
 
After one awakens from a dream, the dim reflection of the dream may linger in one's memory. Similarly, one engaging in the devotional service of the Lord may be troubled sometimes by the dim reflection of sinful life. One should therefore become strong in Krishna consciousness by hearing the Lord's instructions to Śrī Uddhava.
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 11.22.57
 
Therefore, O Uddhava, do not try to enjoy sense gratification with the material senses. See how illusion based on material dualities prevents one from realizing the self.
 
Srila Prabhupada: - Everything that exists is the potency and property of the Supreme Lord, meant to be used in His loving service. Seeing material objects as separate from the Lord and thus meant to be possessed and enjoyed by oneself is called vaikalpikam bhramam, the illusion of material duality. When selecting one's personal object of enjoyment, such as food, clothing, residence or vehicle, one considers the relative quality of the object to be acquired. Consequently, in material life one is in constant anxiety, trying to acquire the most excellent sense gratification for one's personal pleasure. If one realizes everything as the property of the Lord, however, he will see everything as meant for the Lord's pleasure. He will feel no personal anxiety, because he is satisfied simply to be engaged in the Lord's loving service. It is not possible to exploit the property of the Lord and at the same time advance in self-realization. End of quotes
When the jiva-bhutah dream conscious becomes manifest due to forgetfulness of Krishna, Krishna also accompanies the dreaming consciousness, not in His original Atma-Vigraha form who resides in Goloka-Vrndavana, but in His Maha-Vishnu expansion who is also dreaming.
                            
In the Vedas there is clear information that the original person in the inconsequential material universe is Brahma. His ethereal body is a manifestation originating from Garbhodakasayi Vishnu body, which is all part of the dream of Maha-Vishnu within the limited maha-tattva, as all ready explained. Karanadakasayi Vishnu or the Paramatma, that accompanies all jiva-Bhutahas consciousnesses, is an expansion of Garbhodakasayi Vishnu.
 
The picture above is of Sri Radha and Krishna sitting on a pink lotus in the Goloka-Vrndavana Planet, far beyond the insignificant mundane material creation (maha-tattva) and past the viraj or Causal Ocean, which is outside the influence of the sleeping Maha-Vishnu yet still within the vicinity of the maha-tattva, yet out of reach of the vaikuntha lokas.
 
Krishna’s Perpetual Form/Body is therefore always in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha and so are His inconsequential or marginal nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha servants. It is important to try and understand here, that Krishna’s eternal servants never fall down in their eternal nitya-siddha body, however they can ‘consciously’ forget that body (their real personal form and identity). The only way to never fall down is by failing to always remember to serve Krishna and His devotees and never ever forget Him or them. Even if one does turn their back on Krishna, they only fall down in a conscious dream state and never as the body they really are and whom they always will be.
 
It is important to understand here this ‘fall from grace’ is never a physical fall down, but rather, a conscious fall down due to forgetfulness, like wondering off in a daydream while playing sport and being so absorbed in the daydream, you forget your body and the sport you are involved in. Only in this way can ones conscious awareness fall down, as emphasized, never in their original atma-vigraha bodily form, but in a dreaming illusionary transmitted consciousness.
 
Krishna, on the other hand, can never fall or forget, yet does expand Himself as a dreaming incarnation, not only to create ‘the dreaming’ by accompanying His marginal servants while in their forgetful dreaming lower consciousness, but also to provide all the facilities they need so they can pursue their non-Krishna conscious desires. The marginal or insignificant (small in the presents of Krishna) personalities can only consciously fall down and enter ‘the dreaming’ portion of the Spiritual Sky, which is a dark cloud in one corner of the all-pervasive living personified Brahmajyoti. This corner of the Brahmajyoti is called the maha-tattva which is the abode of ‘the dreaming’ Maha-Vishnu and His wife Maya. Through the pours on Maha-Vishnu’s skin, the material universes are created as He breaths out and annihilated as He breaths in. Within each of the unlimited material universes, Krishna, in His Maha-Vishnu form, further expands Himself as Vishnu, Shiva and demigods headed by Brahma (33, 000,000 of them in our universe) who act like ministers with their portfolio’s in a Government under the direction of the Prim-Minster or President. They help facilitate, maintain and build the material manifestation. Lord Shiva’s duty is to also annihilate it when the time comes for the universe to be withdrawn back into the bodily pours of Maha-Vishnu. Maha-Vishnu is always there in the maha-tattva ‘causal waters’ ‘dreaming-up’ an infinite number of finite material universes.
 
Maha-Vishnu therefore manages ‘the dreaming nitya-baddha condition’ and fulfils the dreaming mistaken desires of the jiva-bhutah’s lower-self non-Krishna conscious circumstances as they live out their imaginings in total denial or memory of their original atma-vigraha body.
 
If the marginal individual personalities scope of influence (sakti) did not have the ability to choose by between their higher self Krishna conscious bodily form and their lower self independent non-Krishna conscious creations in the expressions of illusionary dreams, then there can be no question of love – this is why the atma-vigraha’s (ones real devotional bodily self) have a lower conscious dreaming expansion of the self manifested as the dreaming jiva-bhutah/jiva-nikaya sub-conscious state that is only activated when one is not serving Krishna.
 
Another way of understanding this is where there is light (Krishna consciousness), there is no darkness (material consciousness and Impersonalism) and where there is darkness, there is no light. This is the theme on Srila Prabhupada’s Back To Godhead Magazine cover
 
The Sanskrit word jiva-sakti means the influence of the atma-jiva or atma-vigraha while established in ones higher conscious self that manifests as selfless devotional service and also means the attribute or influence the individual jiva-bhuttah/jiva-nikaya or lower conscious self has within the material universe.
 
Because the atma-vigraha’s are separate individual from Krishna, jiva-sakti refers to that separate identity, individuality and form as marginal. This is because living entity or atma-vigraha’s constitution is a secondary independent entity from Krishna that is fully dependant of Krishna regardless of their position in reality (Vaikuntha) or illusion (maha-tattva).

What is marginal?
It is obvious that the nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha body is the higher self or marginal condition and the nitya-bhadda-jiva-bhutah consciousness is the lower self or marginal dreaming manifestation. This is explained in detail on page 146. The word sakti means power, attribute, potency, energy, influence, control, clout, mussel, weapondary, force, vigour, liveliness, strength, effectiveness and aura of the jiva-atma-vigraha real self in the Goloka-Vrndavana Spiritual Sky or the jiva-bhutah conscious self trapped dreaming within the universe where Maha-Vishnu is also dreaming
.
As already mentioned, Krishna also has a dreaming expansion of Himself called Maha-Vishnu whose dreams are the material universal creation and the dreams of the jiva-bhutah transmitted consciousness. In this way, whether one is aware of it or not, Krishna is always the only provider of everything even in their dreams because He is the cause of all causes. Krishna does not however interfere with the dreaming jiva-bhutah’s consciousness as they create their destiny within the material universe. Krishna more or less says, if you want to do your own thing, then you are responsible not Me, don’t blame Me. Those who do not understand karma and reincarnation cannot not comprehend that is ones own previous actions in a previous life that determines ones suffering and enjoyment within the material universe. Nothing happens by luck or chance.
 
The duty of Krishna’s dreaming Maha-Vishnu expansion is to provide the environmental conditions to assist their desires that exist under the strict laws of karma. Krishna never forces anyone to remember their real identity or body, that choice is always yours. You can wake up as ones real self in your original rasa (pastime with Krishna) or you can forget it for almost an eternity and be content living out your own desires and dreams in the material universe constantly experiencing birth, disease, old age, death and rebirth. By building your dreams, they carve your illusionary existence through many millions of life times within the material maha-tattva that is facilitated and provided by Maha-Vishnu. His dreams are your dreams and are real but temporary.
 
As already mentioned, the atma-vigraha devotee’s or the supplementary personified individual potency or energy of Krishna as their original bodily forms, have a tendency to forget Krishna from time to time and project a lower dreaming consciousness in defiance of their real devotional atma-vigraha body. This ‘lower self’ transmits them to the impermanent ethereal, biological and material manifestation. Krishna also has a dreaming expansion of Himself that is unlike the consciousness of the insignificant atma-vigraha devotees. This is like comparing the sunrays (marginal living entities or atma-vigraha bodies) to the sun (Krishna).  Even though Maha-Vishnu is dreaming, He is simultaneously fully awake as the four-armed Vishnu in Vaikuntha and His original two armed, Lord Krishna in Goloka-Vrndavana. The individual inconsequential atma-vigraha’s are incapable of doing this, although nothing is impossible as this is Krishna’s creation, He makes the rules and He can change them when He feels fit. It is said that that the great Vaishnava devotee Naradha Muni travels also within the dreams of Maha-Vishnu in His original atma-vigraha body. Krishna is the cause of all causes and His unlimited expansions and inner circle devotees are unaffected by this change.
 
Krishna facilitates, creates and accompanies the fallen transmitted jiva-bhutah conscious to its desired dreaming destinations within the material universe. This duty is performed by Maha-Vishnu, whose dreams are simultaneously the transmitted jiva-bhutah’s dreams. Only when one is free from their own dreaming consciousness within the material dream (yet still unaware of their real Krishna Conscious bodily identity) can they exist out-side the realm of Maha-Vishnu’s dreams, but still dreaming (in a dreamless inactive state) within the dominion of the causal ocean where the Brahma-sayujya or Impersonal Brahmajoyti exists. The jiva-bhutah’s transformation into the dormant jiva-nikaya’s individual consciousness that merges within the Brahma-sayujya (Impersonal Brahmajyoti), can only happed when one is fed up attempting to enjoy within with the transitory frustrating ethereal and biological bodies within the always decaying material existence (inferior energy).
 
Maha-Vishnu’s duties include facilitating the dreaming lower forgetful consciousness of the atma-vigraha’s to their desired destination amongst the billions upon Billions of material universes that are constructed by His various representatives and demi-gods for the jiva-bhutah transmitted dreaming consciousness. The demi-gods function is to fulfil the material desires (dreams) of those who turn their back on Krishna where one simultaneously forgets their real perpetual bodily form they serve Krishna as.  Maha-tattva also hosts Krishna’s pastimes and pure devotees when He appears for lila duty within the maha-tattva.
 
Maha-Vishnu’s obligation, and the role of the demigods under His jurisdiction within the maha-tattva or material manifestation, is often unpleasant due to the non-Krishna conscious desires or thoughts of those who have ‘consciously separated, spilt or divided’ from their real jiva-atma-vigraha self. This partition of consciousness means they are no longer aware of their Krishna conscious original body because they have opted to create their own existence in defiance of Krishna. In this way, ones lower non-Krishna conscious state goes through a transformation that places it within the ‘dream universe’ of Maha-Vishnu, where He and His representative demigods facilitate or build the ethereal, biological and material condition that meet the requirements of the jiva-bhutah transmitted dreaming conscious desires.
The Vishnuloka planets that are eternally maintained by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna in His Vishnu form surround the centre of the universal Creation, which is the topmost Spiritual Planet, Goloka-Vrndavana or Krishnaloka. Krishna’s Personal universe is also known as the Personal Brahmajyoti, or just Brahmajyoti, which fills all space in every direction however; there is also a secondary universe that technically also has no beginning or end called the maha-tattva.
 
The Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha universe is real, unchanging and timeless; the secondary universe on the other hand, is a place where ones lower dreaming consciousness temporarily resides (not as there perpetual body), but as a protracted consciousness radiated from their full consciousness or body when they forget Krishna’s interminable abode (like wondering off into a dream while ones biological sleeping body has not moved from the bed), as already explained and will always need further clarification because of our conditioned consciousness that makes us foolishly believe we are these biological bodily containers.
 
This secondary shadowy universe, also in the Brahmajyoti, is a real reality but a temporary phenomena controlled by time, forgetfulness, envy, jealously, lust, anger, greed, the hunger for power and to be worshiped like Krishna, impermanence, flickering enjoyment, arrogance, selfishness, self righteousness, suffering, birth, disease, old age and death. This inferior (where lifeless matter exists) universal phenomenon is where the dreaming Maha-Vishnu resides who accommodates ones dreaming lower conscious dreaming self-illusions. He’s abode is an extension of Krishna’s Personal Brahmajyoti/Brahman effulgence transformed from the real reality of individual personalities serving Krishna, to the same individual personalities in their non-Krishna lower conscious illusion or dream. Like switching the light on there can be no darkness, on the other hand as soon as you switch the light out, that same space becomes darkness. In the same way this is how the personal Brahmajyoti and the Impersonal Brahmajyoti exist in the same space. It’s all bases on ones conscious awareness.
 
The maha-tattva is the place in creation created for those who do not want to be with Krishna. Therefore, their imagination takes them to that detached abode Krishna has created for them that is also naturally the Brahmajyoti yet in its darkened state that appears like a dark cloud in the Spiritual Sky. The trance like dreaming consciousness of those personalities who choose to cross over into the detached universe of the dreaming existing as a dark cloud in one corner of the Brahmajyoti, always have that choice or independence to serve Krishna or forget Him. In this way, the dark cloud exists in the Brahmajyoti side by side with the surrounding Vaikuntha planets, yet those souls (transferred consciousness) trapped in the dark cloud are unable to realize or acknowledge the existence of Vaikuntha or their original atma-jiva bodily form due to their non-Krishna conscious Impersonal nature.
 
The maha-tattva is real yet is called an illusion or dream because of its temporary nature, where as reality (the Vaikunthas) is permanent, imperishable, and always actively alive in the service of Krishna and never fades. The dark cloud that takes up a quarter of the Brahmajyoti on the other hand is real but impermanent, perishable and always fades in and out of existence like a mirage in the desert. The dark cloud or maha-tattva (the material manifestation) nonetheless, is still part of the Brahmajyoti, yet is already darkened due to the individual dreaming non-Krishna conscious thoughts that are transmitted there. It is only there, within the maha-tattva, such dreaming self-centered desires exist. This diseased condition infects those who choose to forget Krishna and the real bodily form they serve Krishna as. Only within the maha-tattva or material manifestation under the jurisdiction of the sleeping and dreaming Maha-Vishnu, can their introverted selfish dreaming consciousness exist.  This condition of ignorance is similar (but not the same) to ones dreams and fantasies experienced as real while ones biological bodily is asleep or daydreaming. The dark cloud (maha-tattva) is where ones introverted dreaming forgetful consciousness becomes active however, the knowledge to tell the difference between dreams and reality is lost. We forced Krishna to allow us to come to this material universe, He warned us, but we came anyway. He left that choice up to us.
 
The ethereal and biological vessels that the jiva-bhutah consciousness possesses/creates, as well as the material energy and elements, which are the left over consequences of impermanent biological bodies being possessed by jiva-bhutah consciousness, that is now the fossilized remains we call matter (inferior energy), is under the jurisdiction of Maha-Vishnu. When the atma-vigraha’s dream, Krishna also accompanies their dreaming lower consciousness by entering into a dream state Himself. This dream state of Krishna is called Maha-Vishnu. Krishna always remains the two armed Krishna or Shamasundara in Goloka-Vrndavana even while simultaneously expanding Himself as Maha-Vishnu. The atma-vigraha’s are incapable of imitating Krishna in this way.
 
The two-armed form Krishna is always within His original spiritual planet with his loving devotees, which resembles the whorl of a huge lotus flower called Goloka-Vrndavana. This transcendental place is the highest abode of Lord Krishna, the original Personality of Godhead. Krishna’s original planet, Goloka-Vrndavana, throws off a spiritual ray of effulgence called the brahmajyoti that is all the individual atma-vigraha’s bodily personalities, as well as the unlimited Spiritual planets where they reside. On these planets they serve Krishna’s eternal four-armed Vishnu incarnation or expansion. These Brahmajoyti planets extend out to the far reaches of the Spiritual sky that also eventually embraces the abode of Maha-Vishnu who resides in one quarter of the Personal Brahmajyoti however, within Maha-Vishnu’s material cosmic dream manifestation, the whole Spiritual universe changes because in that corner of creation within the Brahmajyoti, the Krishna Conscious nitya-siddha-atma-vigraha’s personalities who eternally serve Krishna, cannot exist there unless the atma-vigraha devotees forget Krishna and from within their body radiate a secondary self (nitya-baddha) that exists as dreams.
 
Only in that dream state does one hook-up with the dreams of Maha-Vishnu where your dreams are his dreams and one and His dreams are your reality within the Impersonal material universe. Only non-Krishna conscious dreams can transfer you, while in total forgetfulness of your real Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body, from the personal Brahmajyoti in the Spiritual Sky to the ‘dark cloud of dreaming’, which is the material and Impersonal universe that exists within the dark agitated storm cloud for those who want to live their dreams without Krishna.
 
Keep in mind the Personal Brahmajyoti is made up of the Vishnu planets and the atma-vigraha devotees, who are within (Vaikuntha – nitya-siddha) and without (maha-tatva – nitya-baddha) the Personal effulgence surrounding this dark cloud or maha-tattva which is technically the Brahmajyoti in its Impersonal form as materialism and the Brahma-sayajyu as impersonal liberation.
The dark cloud is simply a broadcast transmitted from the Personal Brahmajyoti (atma-vigraha bodies) and projected or played on the screen of the maha-tattva.
 
The Impersonalist yogis, Buddhists, Jains and Mayavadis cannot enter or merge their individuality into that surrounding active living Personal Brahmajyoti, they can only enter (temporally) into the Impersonal void aspect that exists only within the maha-tattva because they do not believe in individuality. They also believe the material universe is an unreal illusion which is also incorrect. The material universe is real but temporary phenomenon.
 
Note: - the Personal devotional active effulgence or Brahmajyoti is not practicals of light; it is individual personalities with eternal bodily form that is always Krishna Conscious. This conversion from Personal to Impersonal happens in this way, when the Brahmajyoti, which is Krishna’s atma-vigraha devotees as well as all his various Spiritual planets, consciously alter from being aware of their Brahmajyoti-effulgent Krishna conscious atma-vigraha’s body, to denying its existence due to turning ones back on Krishna and therefore becoming the lower secondary conditional state of consciousness, ones conscious position and awareness within the Personal Brahmajyoti, is transported to the dominion of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu within the dark cloud or maha-tattva. It is that secondary consciousness, that originally and eternally emanates from ones atma-vigraha or the Personal brahmajyoti effulgence, that can eventually, not just enter the Impersonal Brahmajyoti, but is an inactive living individual dreaming consciousness or shadow of the personal Brahmajyoti that is now consciously transferred into the Impersonal Brahmajyoti.
 
As a consequence of forgetfulness, the Personal individual effulgent rays or particles (atma-vigraha bodily personalities) surrounding Krishna are transferred consciously (not in their atma-vigraha physical body) to the dark cloud of ‘the dreaming Maha-Vishnu’s’ impermanent manifestation. In other words, what is going on here, is the original effulgence of Krishna, which is unlimited atma-vigraha bodies including planets, have the ability to either remain in their real effulgent atma-vigraha self or form, or ‘consciously’ extend themselves from their original effulgent bodily atma-vigraha self in the Personal devotional Brahmajyoti, consciously transferring into a lower conscious state (jiva-bhutah) that can only exist within or just outside Maha-Vishnu’s impermanent dreaming creation.
 
As already explained, yet needs to be emphasized, Maha-Vishnu’s separate dark dreaming universe is also part of the Spiritual sky or Brahmajyoti where the Vaikuntha’s exist but appears as a dark cloud in that Personal Brahmajyoti. However the dark cloud component of the Brahmajyoti, or the universe of illusions and dreams, is also under the jurisdiction Maha-Vishnu whose dreams only confirm that the maha-tattva is the universe for those bodies that are asleep and dreaming in the eternal Kingdom of God.
 
The only way to enter the so-called Impersonal Brahmajyoti or Brahma-sayujya is to enter within the dark cloud cover or the universe of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu and first be active in ethereal and biological bodies within the material universe, as the lower self jiva-bhutah transmitted consciousness. Only then can one move on to the so called non-materially active liberated jiva-nikaya consciousness that becomes part of the illusionary Impersonal Brahmajyoti that is simply a transformation from the Personal Brahmajoyti to the Impersonal Brahmajyoti, when ones consciousness entered the maha-tattva or material manifestation. No matter which way we look at it, we are always part of the Brahmajyoti because collectively we are the Brahmajyoti or Krishna’s Personal effulgence.
 
Even those who take shelter in Impersonal aspect of the creation existing in the realm of Maha-Vishnu, eventually fall out of that counterfeit Impersonal sense of oneness due to the inherent nature that all living entities in the Brahmajyoti have an original active Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body.
 
Maha-Vishnu’s creation allows and facilitates the non-Krishna Conscious dreams of those who forget Krishna and simultaneously their real and only personal body. His dark universe, that is also part of the Brahmajyoti but now in its Impersonal aspect, is like a cloud that overtakes a corner of the spiritual sky or Personal brahmajyoti. This covered portion is called the mahat-tattva. Krishna, via His dreaming expansion Maha-Vishnu, lies down in the water within the maha-tattva. This water is called the Causal Ocean (karana-jala). As He sleeps within the Causal Ocean, innumerable universes are generated with His breathing that lay the foundations for the dreaming illusions of those who choose to forget their Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body and instead, take on the multiple-identities created by the lower conscious jiva-bhutah hallucination. These floating universes within the material manifestation are scattered all over the Causal Ocean to provide planets and universe that facilitate the desires and non-Krishna conscious thoughts of those who want to forget Krishna and build their own existence.
 
As already mentioned, within the Krishna’s unlimited Personal brahmajyoti, there are unlimited numbers of personalized eternal spiritual planets. In contrast, within the maha-tattva where the Personal has transformed into the Impersonal, there are also innumerable numbers of material impermanent planets and universes. These material massive universes with billions of galaxies are equivalent to one Vishnuloka planet in the Personal Brahmajyoti or Spiritual Sky. These innumerable material planets also technically exist within the same Brahmajoyti effulgence as the Vishnuloka planets, except they are trapped as dreams within the Impersonal dark portion of that same Personal Brahmajyoti that resembles a dark cloud in one corner of the Spiritual Sky. This aspect of the Brahmajyoti that houses the Impersonal Brahmajyoti, is under jurisdiction of the dreaming Maha-Vishnu, who represents the causeless mercy and loving concern of Krishna by accompanying the forgetful jiva-bhutah consciousness where ever is goes by providing everything it needs and desires, even its Impersonal jiva-nikaya dreamless state, where ones consciousness becomes inactive and where their original natural Brahmajyoti individual active bodily effulgent self, transforms into an Impersonal Brahmajyoti inactive individual self.
 
This Impersonal transformation is part and parcel of the conscious fall down that enters the maha-tattva dark cloud but is detached from the influence of the maha-tattva or material universe.
 
The Personal and Impersonal Brahmajyoti both emanates from Krishna, however it is important to clearly understand that the Personal Brahmajyoti around Krishna only transforms to the Impersonal Brahmajyoti way, way out on the edge of the Spiritual Sky within the realm of the maha-tattva (material manifestation). Even though further away form the inner circle Personal Brahmajyoti, the maha-tattva cloud is still part of the Brahmajyoti surrounding Krishna, except is in a different dimensional state of consciousness. Only within the vicinity of this dark cloud or maha-tattva can Impersonalism and materialism be embraced. It is only within that dark illusionary portion of the Personal Brahmajyoti, the Impersonal Brahmajyoti exists.
 
Impersonalism cannot stand within the realm of the Vishnu Planets or the central Krishnaloka Planet known as Goloka-Vrndavana Planet.
The Spiritual planets are dominated by plenary expansions of Lord Krishna (Vishnu in His four armed form), and the inhabitants there are ever-liberated atma-vigraha meaning their bodily form can never cease to exist even if, from time to time, they consciously forget their real self and form and enter the dark cloud within the Spiritual sky where one can live out their imagination and fantasies as dreams. The vast construction of the material universe is meant to assist the jiva-bhutah consciousness experience their material dreams and desires that can last for billions upon billions of years.
 
The atma-vigraha devotee’s or servants, or one’s higher real self in its full capacity, have bodily features like the Lord and are full of bliss, knowledge and are impershable.
 
Krishna is known within the Brahmajyoti as Narayana and the planets are known as Vaikunthas where as in the maha-tattva the same Vishnu is known as Maha-Vishnu. Unlike the fully awake Vishnu’s in the Vaikuntha’s, Maha-Vishnu is sleeping and in His dreams exist the dreams of the atma-vigraha’s secondary consciousness or lower self, also in a dreaming consciousness, when activated by separatist views and self centred desires. 
In each and every universal globe that comes out of every pour in Maha-Vishnu’s sleeping body, the same Maha-Vishnu enters again as Garbodhakasayi Vishnu and lies there on the Garbha Ocean on the serpentine Sesa incarnation. From his navel-abdomen sprouts a lotus stem, and on the lotus, Brahma, the Lord of a material universe, is born.
