9月15日 Talking about The origin of the jiva spark
Quote The origin of the jiva spark Talking about Origin of the jiva spark
Quote Origin of the jiva spark Origin of the jiva sparkINTRODUCTION OPEN YOUR EYES AND HEART TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON - THE REAL TRUTH The truth for those who recognize what the Absolute Truth Is – To remember and serve Krishna and never forget Him. We cannot expect a dog or cat to understand because they do not have the appropriate biological vessel that can inquire into universal creation. Faith must begin somewhere. It is a fact; only faith can reveal the real truth. In other words, if we are completely sincere we cannot be cheated. Who amongst us is ready to understand the secrets of the universe? Where does the faith come from? We all have faith, for example, when you get on a plane you have faith that the pilot can fly the plane or the doctor can perform the operation in a Hospital. Faith is there in everything. If you want to learn how to drive a car, you have faith that the instructor can show you and guide you to be a good driver. In the some way, if your faith is sincere, you will search out a teacher or guide who can nurture your Spiritual faith, encourage you to continue seeking the Devotional Krishna Conscious truth – to become totally selfless and dependant on Krishna. This is not easy. As it is said, the path to self-realization is rough and narrow and covered with stumbling blocks to test your faith. It’s true what what great devotees say, the truth can be right there in front of you, but without faith you will not see it, you will only see what you want to see. Our search for God or the absolute truth (Krishna) is difficult, we are all so extremely attached to the biological body we are in and we may feel threatened, if not prepared by faith in God or Krishna. Such faith comes from association. We live in a society today; I believe is collectively ready to research for the real final frontier – Krishna Consciousness. We are all already lost in space, living on a small planet in a vast universe, which in its self is a pretty amazing characteristic of our existence - however its just a dream emanating from who one really is, long, long ago forgotten due to forgetfulness. Ultimately the goal is love of Krishna, or more accurately re-establishing our old Krishna consciousness we had long before we projected our desires and dreams into the illusionary material universe. The fact is, no amount of accumulation of Knowledge will reveal Krishna to us. Only through faith and loving selfless service can we realize our original relationship with God or Krishna. You may get 100% out of 100% in your written exam for your driver’s license. But without the faith in you instructor in the practical test, you will not know how to drive correctly. The book, ‘The secret Origins of the universal creation’ is only a written description of the entire universe, it will not give anyone love of Krishna because only through faith and selfless commitment to one Spiritual Master can that be attained. In this way, we must seek out an instructor, a Spiritual Master, if we want to expand on our faith. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada is such a genuine Spiritual guide. As it is said, the path to self-realization is rough and narrow and covered with stumbling blocks to test your faith. It’s true what you say, the truth can be right there in front of you, but without faith you will not see it, you will only see what you want to see. You may get 100% out of 100% in your written exam for your driver’s license. But without the faith in you instructor in the practical test, you will not know how to drive correctly. Srila Prabhupada’s says you cannot become a medical practitioner by simply reading books; you must study under a medical practitioner, or his representative. Srila Prabhupada makes it very clear, you have to associate with one who knows and lives scripture; only he can knows Krishna can give Krishna. He makes it clear, if you cannot understand; you have to take lesson from one who is devotee, if not from Prabhupada, then by one who knows Srila Prabhupada books. He left us his books as the guiding light to Krishna consciousness however; this must go side by side with those who follow the teachings of those books and who strictly chant the Hare Krishna Mantra. Those who have understood Prabhupada’s books, they are qualified to guide us and help us also understand. This was the principle instructions in all the Temples he established, He could not be personally present all the time but his books are always there. Prabhupada explains further, “Simply one who knows the subject matter, he can explain.” Through Srila Prabhupada’s books one CAN gain access to the Absolute however, one must associate with devotees who are sincerely following. Srila Prabhupada’s books direct the sincere enquirer of the Truth to a devotee of Krishna, from there the aspiring devotee can learn further about Him by submitting to and listen with an open mind to the Transcendental Sounds of scripture, chanting, Sankirtan, offering food to the deities. The transcendental words of Srila Prabhupada is an extended manifestation of his pure consciousness and no different than him. Those who want to understand the contents of Srila Prabhupada’s books must not loose goal of that knowledge, as the story of the scholar and the street sweeper reveal. (Page 124) Attachment to only Knowledge and rituals keeps ones consciousness stagnant, empty and bitter. One becomes attached to the accumulation of Knowledge and rituals that rivet’s one to their ‘imagination’ and therefore cannot see Krishna even if he was standing in front of them. This is because they are not attached to selfless, humble devotion to Krishna but rather more attached to their understanding of Krishna – there is a fine line between the real and the imaginary. Unfortunately they are bound to be self-deceived and deceive others. Instead of serving Krishna and his devotees, many follow their own mental concoction of Krishna Consciousness; they do not realize they are dreaming-up a separated and perverted imaginary ‘Krishna and the Kingdom of God’ that they have manufactured by their own understandings and speculations about scripture that is only a sentimental perverted dream and part of the material illusion, part of their own mental attachments, part of their own dream. It is difficult to wake up in our real selfless atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious selfless body. In this way, if the so called devotee is just attached to the performance of rituals, including imitating Srila Prahupada and accumulating knowledge, then he or she will carry theirs errors, arrogance and puffed-up pride into the Realm of ‘their’ version of Absolute Truth. In this way they march on and mislead themselves and others into the regions of darker ignorance by their self-indulgent self-importance arrogant study of the scriptures. The book, ‘The secret Origins of Origins – Understanding The Universal Creation’ is only the written description of the entire universe, it will not give anyone love of Krishna because only through faith, selflessness, devotion and complete unconditional attachment and commitment, association of devotee’s and love for one’s Spiritual Master and Krishna can that be attained. Technically there is only Goloka-Vrindavan, Lord Krishna and Chaitanya’s Personal intimate central planet and the surrounding Vishnu planets of servitude. These are the only real and permanent realities in the creation that is indisputable genuine and not an imaginary replication, fairytale or dream like the material universe and the Impersonal Brahmajoyti. Ones eyes must be smeared with selfless love to Krishna, this is the only way to regain one’s ‘old’ original consciousness. This is difficult and there is the danger of writing a book like this by becoming attached to the accumulation of Knowledge and missing the point completely of developing love for God (Krishna) and His genuine devotee’s. Ones eyes must be smeared with selfless love to see the truth, otherwise they project their own limited experience of life on everything around them and only see what they want to see, here what they want to here and believe in what their limited senses can see or hear. Atheist and modern scientists only believe in what their senses of touch, sight, hearing, taste, feel and smell, etc. But are those senses experiencing everything there is to be known? We know they do not, so how can we only believe in what our limited senses relay to us trapped inside? Even with the extension of the Hubble telescope and the Electron microscope, are we seeing what is really going on. The Vedas are not fairytales like the ‘Lord Of The Rings’, ‘The Hobbit’, ‘The Simpson’s’, etc - actually its all a test to sift out the real from the unreal - it all depends on what we want, either Krishna (God) or our own independent self centred universe. The word ‘spiritual’ in this book means active Krishna Conscious devotion. In other words, where there is service to Krishna, only there does Spirituality exist. It can therefore even be transferred to within the material universe however; it does not exist in the Brahmajoyti. CC Madhya 20.117: krsna bhuli' sei jiva anadi-bahirmukha krsna bhuli' - forgetting Krsna; sei jiva - that living entity; anadi - from time immemorial; bahir-mukha - attracted by the external feature; ataeva - therefore; maya - illusory energy; tare - to him; deya - gives; samsara-duhkha - miseries of material existence. Forgetting Krishna, the living entity has been attracted by the external feature from time immemorial. Therefore the illusory energy (Maya) gives him all kinds of misery in his material existence. Many scholars and devotees have misunderstood the jiva (soul) is and where it comes from. Many think it is a spark of living light that exists independently from the Spiritual universe within the confines of the active material universe or inactive Brahmajoyti as an atomic living spark. Some even think the jiva originates from the Brahmajoyti, while others believe they completely leave the Spiritual universe and fall down into the material universe when they choose to forget Krishna. All these beliefs are incorrect. CC Madhya 22.107: nitya-siddha krsna-prema 'sadhya' kabhu naya nitya-siddha - eternally established; krishna-prema - love of Krishna; sadhya - to be gained; kabhu - at any time; naya - not; sravana-adi - by hearing, etc.; suddha - purified; citte - in the heart; karaye udaya - awakens. Pure love for Krishna is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. The origin of the jiva spark THE SECRET BOOK OF ORIGINS.
QUANTUM PHYSICS OR THE SCIENCE OF POSSIBILITIES. UNDERSTANDING THE UNIVERSAL CREATION. INTRODUCTION “Because the Kingdom of God is an Eternal Personal Active Loving Devotional Place that is ever lasting and never aging, the atma-vigraha bodies are always there – Nitya-siddha means — eternally established. This is what permanence, perpetual and eternity means – no beginning, no end and never changing (although līlā-rasa — the mellows of a pastime, can change in the spiritual universe). Generally nitya-siddha means one never falls to the sub-conscious lower self or dream state. The nitya-siddha personality, identity and form refer to ones original Krishna Conscious body that is always there, even when ones dreaming (jiva-sub-consciousness) lower self is in the material universe. ALL those who choose to forget Krishna and enter the forgetful temporary material universe of the sub-conscious lower self, have an original nitya-siddha body. Every living entity has an original nitya-siddhasvarupa-sat-cit-ananda-atma-vigraha body they realize if they are Krishna Conscious, or cannot realize when not Krishna Conscious”. The Secret Book Of Origins CHAPTER ONE
The following quotes are from His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, the founder of the ISKCON Movement (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
Srila Prabhupada: - “We never had any occasion when we were separated from Krishna. Just like one man is dreaming and he forgets himself. In dream he creates himself in different forms: now I am the King discussing like that. This creation of himself is as seer and subject matter or seen, two things. But as soon as the dream is over, the 'seen' disappears. But the seer remains. Now he is in his original position”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “Our separation from Krishna is like that. We dream this body and so many relationships with other things. First the attachment comes to enjoy sense gratification. Even with Krishna desire for sense gratification is there. There is a dormant attitude for forgetting Krishna and creating an atmosphere for enjoying independently. Just like at the edge of the beach, sometimes the water covers, sometimes there is dry sand, coming and going. Our position is like that, sometimes covered, sometimes free, just like at the edge of the tide. As soon as we forget, immediately the illusion is there. Just like as soon as we sleep, dream is there”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “We cannot say therefore that we are not with Krishna. As soon as we try to become Lord, immediately we are covered by Maya. Formerly we were with Krishna in His Lila or sport. But this covering of Maya may be of very, very, very, very long duration; therefore many creations are coming and going. Due to this long period of time it is sometimes said that we are ever-conditioned. But his long duration of time becomes very insignificant when one actually comes to Krishna consciousness. Just like in a dream we are thinking very long time, but as soon as we awaken we look at our watch and see it has been a moment only. Just like with Krishna’s friends, they were kept asleep for one year by Brahma, but when they woke up and Krishna returned before them, they considered that only a moment had passed”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “So this dreaming condition is called non-liberated life, and this is just like a dream. Although in this material calculation it is a long, long period, as soon as we come to Krishna consciousness then this period is considered as a second. For example, Jaya and Vijaya. They had their Lila with Krishna, but they had to come down for their little mistake. They were given mukti, merging into the Brahma-sayujya (Impersonal Brahmajoyti) after being killed three times as demons. This Brahma-sayujya mukti is non-permanent”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “Every living entity wants pleasure, but Brahma-sayujya is minus pleasure. There is eternal existence only. So when they do not find transcendental bliss, they fall down to make a compromise with material bliss. Just like Vivekananda founded so many schools and hospitals. So even Lord Brahma, he is still material and wants to lord it over. He may come down to become a germ, but then he may rise up to Krishna consciousness and go back to home, back to Godhead. This is the position”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “So when I say Yes, there is eternal Lila with Krishna, that means on the evidence of Jaya-Vijaya. Unless one develops full devotional service to Krishna, he goes up only up to Brahma-sayujya but falls down. But after millions and millions of years of keeping oneself away from the Lila of the Lord, when one comes to Krishna consciousness this period becomes insignificant, just like dreaming”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “Because he falls down from Brahma-sayujya, he thinks that may be his origin, but he does not remember that before that even he was with Krishna. So the conclusion is that whatever may be our past, let us come to Krishna consciousness and immediately join Krishna. Just like with a diseased man, it is a waste of time to try to find out how he has become diseased, better to spend time curing the disease”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “On the top of the tree there is a nice tal-fruit. A crow went there and the fruit fell down. Some panditas, big, big learned scholars saw this and discussed: the fruit fell due to the crow agitating the limb. No, the fruit fell simultaneously with the crow landing and frightened the crow so he flew away. No, the fruit was ripe and the weight of the crow landing broke it from the branch, and so on and so on. What is the use of such discussions? So whether you were in the Brahma-sayujya or with Krishna in His Lila, at the moment you are in neither, so the best policy is to develop your Krishna consciousness and go there, never mind what is your origin. Brahma-sayujya and Krishna Lila--both may be possible, but when you are coming down from Brahma-sayujya or when you are coming down from Krishna Lila, that remains a mystery. But at the present moment we are in Maya's clutches, so at present our only hope is to become Krishna conscious and go back to Home, back to Godhead. The real position is servant of Krishna, and servant of Krishna means in Krishna Lila. Directly or indirectly, always we are serving Krishna’s Lila”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “Even in dream. Just like we cannot go out of the sun when it is daytime, so where is the chance of going out of Krishna Lila? The cloud may be there, it may become very grey and dim, but still the sunlight is there, everywhere, during the daytime. Because I am part and parcel of Krishna, I am always connected. My finger, even though it may be diseased, remains part and parcel of my body. Therefore, we try to treat it, cure it, because it is part and parcel. So Krishna comes Himself when we forget Him, or He sends His representative”.
Srila Prabhupada: - “Awakening or dreaming, I am the same man. As soon as I awaken and see myself, I see Krishna. Cause and effect are both Krishna. Just like cotton becomes thread and thread becomes cloth, still, the original cause is cotton. Therefore, everything is Krishna in the ultimate sense. When we cannot contact Krishna personally, we contact His energies. So there is no chance to be outside Krishna’s Lila. But differences we see under different conditions. Just like in the pool of water and in the mirror the same me is reflecting, but in different reflections. One is shimmering, unsteady, one is clear and fixed. Except for being in Krishna consciousness, we cannot see our actual position rightly; therefore the learned man sees all living entities as the same parts and parcels of Krishna. Material existence is impersonal because my real personality is covered. But we should think that because I am now covered by this clay, I am diseased, and we should think that I must get to business to get myself uncovered, not wonder how I got this way. Now the fruit is there, take it and enjoy, that is your first business. God is not bound by cause. He can change; He is the Cause of all Causes. Now don't waste your time with this "Kaka taliya nyaya," crows and tal-fruit logic."
Srila Prabhupada tells us clearly we were originally with Krishna in His Lila or pastime and for devotees to except this fact and get on with the job of spreading Krishna consciousness.
The following is the explanation of our original position to help the Impersonalists and neophyte devotees, who still stubbornly believe we all originate from the Brahma-sayujya (Brahmajoyti) to understand our original position as our Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body.
The full meanings of the Sanskrit words Atma (soul’s perpetual individual higher self) Vigraha (souls higher eternal form or body) – Both are the Krishna Conscious self, identity, constitution and personality (also atma can mean jiva however, in this thesis, the jiva (soul’s lower self) is the sub-consciousness transpositional state of the full conscious atma (the souls higher self) that transmits the dreaming material illusion. The non-Krishna Conscious sub-consciousness only exists when one is not Krishna Conscious).
Atma-vigraha: - The reason why the Sanskrit words atma-vigraha is used is due to the closest Sanskrit words that reveal oneself in their full Krishna Conscious identity. The words ‘ātma-lińgam’ also means real form of the self but that form is on Brahma Loka or Satyaloka, and is an ethereal form that is part of the material universe - Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 2.2.28. The proper use of the word is mukta-lingam — lingam, the transcendental self and mukta mean liberation, refers to ones original Krishna Conscious body and form (atma-vigraha) they eternal serve Krishna as in Goloka-Vrindavan, which is the Eternal Kingdom of God way beyond Brahma Loka (Satyaloka) which is part of the impermanent illusionary dreaming universe.
These are just a few meanings of the Sanskrit word jiva. The Sanskrit word jiva has around 170 different meanings according to the way the word is used. The word lingam generally means form but, like other Sanskrit words, can have multiple meaning.
For example, the jiva means soul or living entity in English however, is that the soul in the Spiritual universe in its eternal Krishna Conscious personal form, or the soul in the material dreaming impermanent universe in its non Krishna conscious Impersonal form? Or can it mean both?
Krishna is also referred to as the Super-soul (Supreme Jiva) and the maintainer of all other individual jivas. Jīva-kalām – Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, from whom all living entities expand. Jīva-bhūta-ātma-bhūte - who is the life and the Supersoul.
In this thesis the jiva-atma has two meanings: -
1. Jiva-atma means the individual spirit soul (spirit in this thesis means full Krishna Consciousness active devotion (higher self), which is the atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious spiritual (devotional) body. The higher consciousness is also called the Jīva-tattva, which is the true original position of the living entities as always a person serving Krishna (atma-vigraha’s) Sadā ātma-sthaiḥ means those who are situated in eternity as persons.
Jiva-atma (jiva – souls, atma – self) in this thesis will refer to the sub-consciousness (lower self), a transmitted non-Krishna conscious State of mind blocking out all awareness of the real self which is further called the atma–vigraha full-Consciousness (the always Krishna Conscious bodily form) in this thesis and the source of the translocated jiva-atma or jivatma. Therefore it is the jiva-sub-consciousness, while forgetful of Krishna and who they themselves are, creates the illusionary material non-Krishna Conscious universe where the sub-conscious jiva is obviously absorbed in ‘lowers self’ non-Krishna conscious illusions or dreams. These jiva-sub-conscious imaginative thoughts are also known as the Jīva-lokaḥ, or the conditioned soul trapped in the material world.
The jīva-śakti also can have two meanings: -
The jīva-śakti or tatastha-sakti (lower self) marginal potency as the formless ‘non-spiritual’ sparks of living atomic particles (in this thesis the English word Spiritual means pure Krishna Conscious active personal devotional service) the jīva-śakti lower self, is neither active in the Spiritual universe due to its sub-conscious creation of the non-Krishna conscious material universe, nor active in the material universe either.
Question - So where has the sub-conscious forgetful state of the atma-vigraha body gone?
Answer - Because the Kingdom of God is an eternal personal active loving devotional place that is ever lasting and never aging, the atma-vigraha bodies are always there – nitya-siddha means — eternally established. This is what impermanence and eternity means. Generally nitya-siddha means never falls to the sub-conscious lower self or dream state. In this thesis nitya-siddha refers to ones original Krishna Conscious state. ALL those who choose to forget Krishna and enter the forgetful temporary material universe of the sub-conscious lower self. Every living entity has an original nitya-siddhasvarupa-sat-cit-ananda-atma-vigraha body they realize if they are Krishna Conscious, or cannot realize when not Krishna Conscious.
Question - So how does the individual atma-vigraha fall down from Krishna’s loving service?
Answer - The answer is simple, it doesn’t because that atma-vigraha body is eternal and is the real identity and personality of you and me.
Question - So why am I now in the material universe living in a biological body that gets diseased, grows old and dies, forcing me to go through the pain and delusion of rebirth and forgetfulness?
Answer - In Goloka Vrindavan there is always free will and choice otherwise there can be no question of voluntary loving Krishna. The original constitutional position of the living entity is a person and that identity and personality is the form and body called the atma-vigraha, not in the form, it is ones original appearance! Krishna is the Supreme Atma-Vigraha Body and maintainer of all His Spiritual creation. Now if one chooses to forget Krishna or attempts to enjoy like Krishna, the Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body is no longer viable for their new separate desires of expression. A good example is when one is in the light, they see their own body and the associates of that body, but as soon as the light is turned off, they no longer see their body or the associates of that body. Their body and Krishna’s perpetual Kingdom id there but they are unable to see reality due to the darkness. In this way as soon as we forget Krishna, we forget ourselves and we are left to wonder the darkness of our imagination. That imagination is desires of grandeur that we call the material universe. Krishna is so kind that even being in the darkness of the material illusion, that is called the jiva-sub-consciousness or lower self in this thesis, is also sanctioned and managed by Him.
Question - So why is it said we are an atom of effulgence or spiritual spark?
Answer - One can appear as that deceptive inactive state of sub-conscious oneness, or an individual spark of light because they are no longer interested in creating counterfeit ethereal and biological temporary bodily identities and personalities. Such a state of non-participation with the sub-conscious active thought, desires dreams, is due to the frustration of impermanence that governs the material universal darkness, as well as its Impersonal so called liberation state of ‘non-thought’. Such illusions are due to a long, long; long ago desire to enjoy autonomously from Krishna, where one has forgotten their true Spiritual Personal atma-vigraha origins. The sub-conscious illusions blocks ones appreciation of their real Krishna Conscious individual self (atma-vigraha body). This state of sub-conscious inactiveness one escapes to in an attempt to be liberated, borders the sub-conscious material active impermanent state called the tatastha-sakti. The idea that this state of sub-consciousness originally appears as ‘an individual atomic unconscious spark’ is only believed by less intelligent devotees who foolishly believe this impersonalism is the original source of the jiva-soul, or, for the Impersonalist Yogis and Mayavadis can appear as an ‘all pervasive bright light’, however both are an illusion manufactured in the darkness of their own sub-consciousness (remember when the light is turned out you no longer see your body or the associates of your body) within the deep shadows of forgetfulness of Krishna, where one forgets they are a atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body, not as a Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body because they are already and always was and will be that personal individual body! Only in the deep darkness of ones ignorant sub-consciousness does one appear to exist as a spiritual spark or an atom of effulgence. The material universe and the Impersonal Brahmajoyti is also the dream of the Maha-Vishnu expansion of Lord Krishna, Lord of the Universe and all the atma-vigrahas, who facilitates the mistaken desires of those who choose to forget Krishna and simultaneously themselves and exist in but a shadow of there real self. Explained in more detail later
The Impersonal Brahmajoyti, a concoction of the jiva-sub-consciousness, is not a Spiritual place because there is no devotion to Krishna in that inactive state where the jiva-sub-consciousness imagines itself existing as a vibrating spark of living impersonal light when not active in its material hallucinations of various ethereal and biological bodily vessels and their sub-conscious imagined surroundings. This jiva-sub-conscious illusion is also known as the Jīva-lokaḥ, or the conditioned soul trapped in the material world. Jīva-gatim — the true nature of the living entity. Even without any knowledge of God (Krishna) or our own real eternal individual bodily Spiritual form, we are still all eternally connected to our perpetual body in Gods Kingdom, even while we are transmitting our forgetful dreams within the material universe or non-active-dreams within the Brahmajoyti. Jīva-śakti can also refer to the higher self but is generally a Sanskrit word used to describe the lower self, or the conditioned state of existing in the ‘darkness’ or ‘shadow of ones self’ or ‘the jiva-sub-conscious dream’, which is the material impermanent universe that includes its Impersonal counterfeit motionless liberation of suspension of thought into the ‘Personal Brahmajoyti’ unreal replication, opposite or shadow called the Impersonal Brahmajoyti, which is the silhouette of the real Personal Brahmajoyti. Explained more clearly on page 53). The following is adapted from the Veda Hare Krishna planetarium index explaining correctly the origin of jiva-atma-sub-consciousness (that dreams of material existence) as a split non-Krishna conscious personality originating from the Krishna Conscious perpetual atma-vigraha body: - This painting represents the two different conscious levels of the living entity – The Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha higher self and the non-Krishna Conscious jiva-atma lower self or sub-consciousness
‘I am therefore the atma-vigraha part and parcel and eternal servant of the Lord. My nitya-siddhasvarupa, spiritual body, is similar in form to any of the jiva-atma however, can created various ethereal and biological bodies identities and forms in the material world that have absolutely no resemblance to my real atma-vigraha body. But it is of the same quality as myself yet on a level of un-consciousness that is unaware of Krishna or the body my original body I serve Krishna as. Although I could stay here eternally in Lord's loving company in Goloka-Vrindavan and participate in His Lila (pastime), I decided to explore the material universal dream world created by my forgetful sub-consciousness thus beginning my journey... The Lord does not interfere with my free will by preventing me from leaving Him but is unlimitedly happy when I return to Him again:
"Having attained me [Svarupa], a friend more dear than life, as if He had not seen me for a long time, taking my hand in His lotus hand, asking me wonderful questions, bringing happiness to all the people of Vraja, and walking as gracefully as an elephant, the handsome Lord entered the village of Vraja." (Brhad-bhagavatamrta 2.6.76, by Sanatana Goswami)
"After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogis in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection." (BG 8.15)
The Kingdom of God, or the transcendental world of sac-cid-ananda-vigraha (eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss and all living entities original have form and body) is the abode of the Supreme Lord Krishna in Goloka Vrindavan and His expansion Vishnu in His unlimited eternal forms. The authentic Personal Brahman or Brahmajoyti is the Vaikuntha’s and their inhabitants surrounding the transcendental body of Lord Krishna in the Bona Fide Perpetual Personal Universe where all life is individual and has an eternal body.
The Personal authentic Brahman or Brahmajoyti is form and held together by form. The comatose withdrawn multi personality unconscious version of the Brahmajoyti is Impersonal and, just as that sub-consciousness is the shadowy silhouette of the atma-vigraha spiritual body in Goloka-Vrindavan, the Impersonal Brahmajoyti is the demarcated or shadow of the Personal Brahmajoyti in the sub-conscious dream. This exists at the edge of the material universe where material desires and thoughts exist as a non-dreaming state, where ones sub-consciousness not only originally consciously walked away from its own full consciousness or body serving Krishna, but have now, deep within their sub-conscious dream, have now also walked away from the dreamed-up bodily creations, opting for a total sub-conscious shut down that the ‘sub-consciousness has deluded itself to be an eternal state of liberation, but, just as the material universe is temporary, so is this impersonal imaginary escape into the impersonal sub-conscious version of the Brahmajoyti.
Eventually the sub-consciousness comes out of their non-dreaming state because it is the nature of life to be fully active, be it in the fully conscious state in Goloka-Vrindavan, or the sub-conscious state in the material universe. Activity and personal form is the original nature and appearance of the soul.
The material universe in this thesis is the sub-conscious dream of the full conscious atma-vigraha body. It is said the effulgence of the Impersonal Brahmajoyti is very bright but that brightness cannot be compared the pure personal selfless loving (devotional) brightness surrounding Krishna’s Personal Body where all the atma-vigraha’s reside and who ARE that brilliance AS their perpetual bodily selves. Is this proper understanding of Personalism getting through? The Impersonal Brahmajoyti is part of the illusionary dreaming sub-consciousness projected simultaneously by the sleeping Maha-Vishnu expansion of Krishna, and those who have forgotten Krishna and the original perpetual body they serve Krishna with. Krishna’s Maha Vishnu expansion makes the material universe possible and always accompanies the forgetful jiva-sub-consciousness.
The Impersonal Brahmajoyti is a bogus illusionary isolated inactive imaginary cessation of sub-consciousness, mistaken as liberation, which is also temporary, like the material universe that the contaminated active‘sub-consciousness’ is trying to break out from. Real liberation is to re-establish ones original pure personal active Krishna Consciousness, as their original fully conscious awake self (atma-vigraha body)
The jiva-sub-consciousness takes this path because they are unable to see and recognize Krishna and there real self, form and body as already explained. Nor do they want to continue existing in the active material universe. Atma-jiva also means marginal potency that is the original eternal never-ending Krishna Conscious form
jīva-rūpa — the identity of the living entity (higher self) that is the original eternal never ending Krishna Conscious form (atma-vigraha) and refers to the Spiritual devotional (Krishna Conscious unending universe free from impermanence, birth, death, disease, old age and death) where the jīva-rūpa — the identity of the living entity has eternal form (atma-vigraha) serving Krishna. The higher consciousness is also called the Jīva-tattva, which is the true original Personal position of the living entities always personally serving Krishna (atma-vigraha’s) Therefore in this thesis, the atma-vigraha’s ‘lower self’ is called the dreaming jiva-sub-consciousness. This lower self or sub-conscious dream state is also called ‘the conditioned living entities’. While absorbed in the conditioned unconscious state, they are unaware of their real fully Krishna conscious bodily form.
A crude example of understanding what is explained here is, when one sleeps at night, they dream of so many places, and of having so many different personalities and identities in those sub-conscious dreams. While in such a deep sub-conscious dream state, one forgets their biological body from whence they are dreaming from. In the same way, the entire temporary material vast universe is nothing other than the dream of the real self or body (atma-vigraha)
"It is not possible to be disconnected, but it is possible to be covered". – Srila Prabhupda - Srimad Bhagavatam commentary to 3.25.13, Bombay, April, 1974
"Upon attaining the goal of the Supreme Soul, He serves in his own personal luster and color and in his own personal form of bliss. At that time, the jiva again attains his imperishable form, completely uncovered and free from impediment". - Pada-ratnavali commentary to Srimad Bhagavatam 8.24.48
Srila Prabhupada in his purport on this verse further adds: -
‘Therefore the purpose of human life is to purify oneself of this contamination so that one can regain his spiritual form and not undergo this cycle of birth and death. The recommended process of decontamination is devotional service to the Lord. There are various processes for self-realization, such as karma, jñāna and yoga, but none of them is equal to the process of devotional service - The living entity should become purified and regain his svarūpa, his original identity
Srila Prabhupada also further says in the purport of Bhagavad-Gita as it is Chapter 2 - text 28
“The material body has no factual existence in relation to the eternal soul. It is something like a dream. In a dream we may think of flying in the sky, or sitting on a chariot as a king, but when we wake up we can see that we are neither in the sky nor seated on the chariot”.
"Each and every living entity is originally attached to a particular type of transcendental service, because he is eternally the servitor of the Lord". - Srimad Bhagavatam 3.9.11, purport
When the light of loving devotional service to Krishna is turned on, one sees that all the ‘sub-conscious’ shadows of ones real self (atma-vigraha body) in the form of ethereal bodies and unlimited biological bodies within the material manifestation are originally all devotees of Krishna. When the light of loving devotional service is turned off by selfishness and forgetfulness of Krishna, one is left in the darkness of that material universal dream where they no longer see or remember Krishna or their own original transcendental body they serve Krishna as.

Chapter one part 2
“The real meaning of the word Internet is: - ‘the linking up of ones projected speculative relayed conscious thoughts, derived from ones valid bodily identity and profile, and then relayed, via ones Computer, X-Box, Play Station or Nintendo, facilitating the connection to ones thoughts to an extensive array of computer networks, web pages, destinations and virtual games without really going anywhere.
The real explanation of the jiva (soul’s lower self) sub-consciousness: - ‘is the non-Krishna Conscious disseminated nescience thoughts relayed from ones atma - [self-soul] and vigraha –[body] full Consciousness (higher self) without being aware that this transmutation of consciousness to sub-consciousness has taken place. The sub-conscious jiva is the transpositional state of the atma-vigraha body. The jiva- sub-consciousness is an illusion created by one who chooses to forget Krishna.
A further meaning of the word Internet is ‘the linking up of ones projected transmitted consciousness with extensive realms, networks and destinations without really going anywhere. In the case of the atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan, it is the forgetfulness of Krishna that instigates instantly the further absentmindedness of oneself (atma-vigraha bodily personality) simultaneously. The non-Krishna Conscious thoughts, in modern scientific terminology, becomes the virtual internet (transmitted consciousness) super-highway (the material universe) that creates the many bodies and places for the transmitted jiva-soul-consciousness to live out extended non-Krishna Conscious dreams.
The sub-consciousness (jiva, atma or soul) is unaware of its original perpetual atma-vigraha bodily form that is facilitating and transmitting the virtual illusionary reality (via the jiva (sub-consciousness) as the material impermanent universe. When the sub-consciousness (jiva) begins it transformation back to its full consciousness body (atma-vigraha), the nescience jiva consciousness is disseminated by the effulgent personal atma-vigraha full bodily consciousness.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabupada, says on the top of his Back to Godhead Magazine - Godhead is light. Nescience is darkness. Where there is Godhead there is no nescience. Light represents the higher self and nescience represents the lower self, as soon as there is light, the nescience or darkness disappears.
Technically there is no structure to the individual jiva sub-consciousness (soul’s lower self) in its manifestation within the illusionary abstract world of the material universe because it is only an extensive state on non-Krishna (God as He is known with His Personal name) Conscious dreaming, originating from the atma – vigraha form (soul’s higher bodily individual self that is eternally serving God) yet having no memory of that form while in the sub-conscious darkness of the lower self.
The jiva-sub-consciousness is in effect, illusionary transmitted dreaming consciousness originating from a personal foundation, yet unaware of its eternal bodily source were one is always blissfully Krishna Conscious in their full constitution, unaffected by the influence of the temporary material universal dream (Maya). How this apparent contraction is possible will be explained in the thesis.
There are two aspects of ones eternal consciousness; one personified as an eternal body, the other personified as temporary dreams.
2. Ones full consciousness (atma, the souls higher self means Krishna Conscious self. Vigraha means individual Krishna Conscious form that is always absorbed in serving Krishna (God) and his devotees in the Kingdom of God Known as Goloka-Vrindavan in the Sanskrit Vedas.
3. Ones sub-consciousness (jiva, the individual souls lower self) existing as transmitted sub-consciousness dispersed from the atma-vigraha full consciousness self and body as a non Krishna Conscious ambience to the material universe.
As ones jiva-sub-consciousness (soul) moves towards (serving Gods Personal body) Krishna Consciousness, a transmutation begins to take place, the jiva-sub-consciousness sets in motion its return journey and begins to dissipate or transform back as its original full Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha perpetual body (higher self) beyond this temporary material universe, that is governed by forgetfulness, suffering, birth, disease, old age and death.
The jiva-sub-conscious (lower self) trapped in the material universe, is always in the non-Krishna Conscious state (eternally conditioned while spellbound in the material dream) just as the Fully Krishna Conscious state is always in the fully Conscious perpetual devotional appearance of the atma-vigraha body (eternally liberated in the Kingdom of God) when fully aware of its higher self.
In other words, as one begins to understand they have a higher self beyond their present biological body and the material universe, that devotional knowledge will disseminate the nescience of the lower self sub-conscious illusions and identity that presently seem real.
Just like when the light is on, not only can one see their own body, but they also see those they are associating with. In conclusion, when the light of devotion and Knowledge is out, due to forgetfulness of Krishna (God), one can no longer be them-selves or know their real form always serving Krishna (God) in His eternal Personal Universe where birth, disease, old age and death do not exist.
The jiva-sub-conscious is always in the non-Krishna Conscious state (eternally conditioned) just as the Fully Krishna Conscious state is always the atma-vigraha body (eternally liberated) In other words, in ones full consciousness, the effulgence of the atma-vigraha bodily personification of that consciousness disseminates the nescience of the jiva-sub-conscious lower self illusions.
In this thesis the atma-vigraha is the full consciousness and the jiva is the illusionary sub-consciousness however, for those who view the atma (soul) and the jiva (soul) as the same, then it can be said that the full conscious jiva is the higher self and Krishna Conscious, while the sub-conscious jiva is the lower self and always in trapped ethereal, biological consciousness in the material world. The purpose of Lord Krishna-Caitanya’s Sankirtan Movement in our present age of Kali-yuga is withdrawal from the sub-consciousness to the fully conscious through the process of Chanting Hare Krishna.
In the presents of Krishna’s Perpetual Spiritual Universe, Goloka-Vrindavan (the Kingdom of God), the only reality is that bliss eternal abode. In comparison, the impermanent material universe is nothing other than a flickering frustrating dream. All individuals in Krishna’s abode that chooses not to remain Krishna Conscious create their-own dream-state existence and enter the dark sub-conscious real of the eternal existence. It is that extended separated sub-consciousness we call the jiva.
All jiva’s (the sub-conscious state of the atma-vigraha) originate from a personal Krishna Conscious individual body called atma (the soul or jiva’s higher self) vigraha (form) The fleeting material universe, created by the sub-conscious jiva, is nothing other than an fleeting illusion. The jiva-sub-consciousness, trapped in the material universe, is always trying to break through that illusion. The sub-conscious-jiva’s intrinsic nature is to believe it has a spiritual origin, even though unaware of what that spiritual origin is. The jiva-sub-consciousness has no idea they have a higher consciousness self-existing as an eternal devotional person. Instinctively the jiva sub-consciousness is always reminded they originate, (even though the jiva-consciousness has forgotten or trying to forget), from a Perpetual universe where everywhere is full of individual life and form devoid of impermanence, suffering, birth, disease, old age or death. This is why religion is inherent in all cultures.
The search for paragons is always inherent in human nature, for the reason that the material world is not the real home of the jiva-consciousness, intrinsically every jiva instinctively knows this, even when covered by ignorance and forgetfulness.
One, who has reached the human species, after transmigrating through the lower species of life, can have these emotions of curiosity, if their human body has sufficient brain substance? Such embodied jiva’s will always know something is not quite right and become philosophers, poets, writers, scientists and astronomers in their quest to find out the truth and purpose of the life and the universe. As those emotion becomes more intense, the search for self realization begins and if it is intensely sincere, you do not even have to look for a Krishna Conscious Guru or Spiritual Master because he will find you. To be precise, that intense inbuilt search will come across the path of a Spiritual Master because whether one remembers or not, Krishna is always within them.
The meaning of illusion is non-Krishna (God) Conscious desires and thoughts that appear real but temporary in the material world created by the sub-conscious mind unaware of their atma-vigraha bodily source.
Such sub-conscious dreams fade away and disappears in due course, just like the dreams one has at night. Such non-Krishna dreams are figments of the imagination (sub-consciousness) manifested as the temporary material universe.
The jiva (life force, soul or living entity existing as the sub-conscious non-Krishna conscious lower self distinct from the Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body or real self) existing in the material universe, is simply ‘the dreaming sub-consciousness forgetful state of the full consciousness’ moulded by NON-Krishna Conscious thoughts, desires and eventually karma. We call that sub-consciousness, originating or transmitted from its eternal self and form, the life force or soul in English in its lower self-manifestation.
That’s why words such as life force, living entity, soul and even jiva are vague with impersonal connotations
The Srimad Bhagavatam (Bhagavat Purana - vedanta) calls this transmitted life force, the jiva consciousness, and explains how the jiva (soul) enters the impermanent material universe, originating from an eternal perpetual universe where everything is alive with personality and form that never decays or fades away. It is from the individual Krishna Conscious body existing in the Kingdom of God (Goloka-Vrindavan), the jiva-sub-consciousness originates and projects an illusionary existence that is the material universe.
The way this happens is due to non-Krishna Conscious thoughts that have a simultaneous two fold effect –
1. The higher self that is always aware of their full consciousness and eternal body due to being Krishna Conscious
2. The lower self, existing in the sub-conscious mind unaware of their full consciousness and eternal bodily form.
As soon as one forgets Krishna and serving His blissful form, one’s forgetfulness enters into their sub-conscious realm where one not only forgets Krishna, but they also forget their own body and become absorbed in their own non-Krishna Conscious dreams through the sub-conscious medium (jiva-soul.) The consequences of forgetting Krishna and ones real eternal Krishna Conscious atma- (self) vigraha- (form) body, is an imagined universe separated from Krishna and ones real self and form. The material universe (dream) is nothing other than generated fading thoughts that create unlimited bodily vessels, made provisional because of the capricious nature of the jiva soul sub-consciousness.
There is no such thing as a spark of life or independent disconnected jiva, atma or life force in the material universe that is separated from, or a different entity from ones real eternal nitya siddhasvarupa sat cit ananda atma vigraha personality.
· Nitya – Eternally Krishna Conscious without beginning or end. Nitya-siddha means — eternally established. This is what impermanence and eternity means. Generally nitya-siddha means never falls to the sub-conscious lower self or dream state. In this thesis nitya-siddha refers to ones original Krishna Conscious body that is always there even when ones dreaming (jiva-sub-consciousness) lower self is in the material universe.
· Siddhasvarupa – A Krishna Conscious unique, original and servitor personal relationship with Krishna that can only be awakened when one is Krishna Conscious. It is impossible to understand whom one really is in Krishna Lila (pastime) while still absorbed in the sub-conscious-jiva projected hallucinations. · Sat – Krishna Conscious eternity. · Cit – Krishna Conscious Knowledge. · Ananda – Krishna Conscious bliss. · Atma (soul’s higher self, personality and individuality) – Krishna Conscious self, identity, and personality (also atma can mean jiva however, in this thesis, the jiva (soul’s lower self) is the sub-consciousness of the full conscious atma (the souls higher self) that transmits the dreaming material illusion. The non-Krishna Conscious sub-consciousness only exists when one is not Krishna Conscious). · Vigraha (soul’s higher body form) – is the atma’s individual eternal bodily Krishna Conscious form The only difference is if one is Krishna Conscious or not Krishna Conscious. All existence in the material universe is not real because it is temporary; it is only an illusionary transmitted dream, or translocated consciousness originating from ones individual personality and form in the only reality in creation, known as Goloka-Vrindavan and the Vaikuntha Spiritual (devotional) Sky.
Another further meaning of the word Internet is: - ‘the linking up of ones projected speculative relayed conscious thoughts, derived from ones valid bodily identity and profile, and then relayed, via ones Computer, X-Box, Play Station or Nintendo, facilitating the connection to ones thoughts to an extensive array of computer networks, web pages, destinations and virtual games without really going anywhere.
The real explanation of the jiva (soul’s lower self) sub-consciousness: - ‘is the non-Krishna Conscious disseminated nescience thoughts relayed from ones atma - [self-soul] and vigraha –[body] full Consciousness (higher self) at the speed of thought without being aware that this transmutation of consciousness to sub-consciousness has taken place. The sub-conscious jiva is the transpositional state of the atma-vigraha body. The jiva- sub-consciousness is an illusion created by one who chooses to forget Krishna. The sub-consciousness (jiva) is unaware of its original perpetual atma-vigraha bodily form that is facilitating and transmitting the virtual illusionary reality (via the jiva (sub-consciousness) as the material impermanent universe. When the sub-consciousness (jiva) begins it transformation back to its full consciousness body (atma-vigraha), the nescience jiva consciousness is disseminated by the effulgent personal atma-vigraha full bodily consciousness.
A further meaning of the word Internet is ‘the linking up of ones projected transmitted consciousness with extensive realms, networks and destinations without really going anywhere. In the case of the atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan, it is the forgetfulness of Krishna that instigates instantly the further absentmindedness of oneself (atma-vigraha bodily personality) simultaneously. The non-Krishna Conscious thoughts, in modern scientific terminology, becomes the virtual internet (transmitted sub-consciousness) super-highway (the material universe) that creates the many bodies and places for the transmitted jiva-soul-consciousness to live out extended non-Krishna Conscious dreams. The jiva-soul is ‘thought’ transmitted as the virtual Internet super highway. A crude example of this can be compared to the present hi-tech virtual reality Internet revolution. The material hallucination world to the Krishna Conscious atma vigraha IS what the Internet virtual super highway and 3.D. computer games are to the biological human body in the scientific technological age of the 21st century. Another crude example of how this works: - Today modern scientists are sending probes out into space or in medicine they are sending probes deep into the biological body, these probes become an extension of their senses but have no effect directly on their senses. In this way, they can go deep into space or deep within the biological body without really going there. This is because they have extended their influence or conscious awareness with the extensions of their sensual perception. None of the extensions carrying their consciousness are real. Or another example is telephones and the new 3 dimensional televisions that will be widely available around 2020; one can be transported to a lounge room anywhere in the world, but are they really there? Through the visual senses they will appear real and sitting in your lounge room however, it is only an illusion. They are not real in that transmitted form but they are real at the source of that transmission. Therefore not only is the transmission of the real self’s consciousness (the atma-vigraha body) is not real, neither is the form of transport real. In this way, there is no real substance to the jiva sub-consciousness, just as there is no substance to the transmitted 3D television singles broadcasted from the television studio or some computer anywhere on the planet. In this way EVERYTHING is broadcasted from Goloka-Vrindavan as the material universe by the sub-consciousness (lower self).
Due to the temporary nature of the material universe, prompted by forgetfulness, the jiva consciousness sheds a lifeless phenomenon (container), these thought-generated-containers (biological bodied) without the presents of the jiva-soul consciousness, eventually breaks down and expands the lifeless aspect of the material universe with fossilized dust, gases and sand that eventually become rocks, mountains, planets, moons, solar systems and galaxies over trillions of years however, the material universe is an ever expanding illusion. The planets that support life are shaped and molded by Brahma and his architect Visvakama.
The material dreaming universal phenomena is constantly repeated by the non-Krishna Conscious thoughts of those atma-vigrahas who have entered the dark realms of their sub-conscious mind due to forgetting Krishna and themselves. In this way, all matter comes from life. How this happens will be gradually explained in this thesis. There is no difference between desires, thoughts and actions on the absolute level. Either one is thinking of serving Krishna (serving in full consciousness) or not thinking of Krishna (selfishly existing in the darkness of their sub-consciousness).
If one chooses to not serve Krishna with every thought and action, then they disqualify themselves from living in the perpetual Goloka-Vrindavan dominion (Krishna’s Kingdom) as well as disqualifying themselves from being their full Krishna conscious genuine bodily self.
In this way, the sub-conscious mind, forgetful of their atma-vigraha body, leave the Kingdom of Krishna (God) as the transmitted dreaming sub-consciousness (jiva). Based on non-Krishna Conscious desires and thoughts, this dreaming sub-consciousness then becomes covered by its own generated ethereal body, cast by those non-Krishna Conscious desires and thoughts. Eventually the ethereal body further generates a biological body, this is where the distinction between desires, thoughts and actions begin to manifest and Karma begins to exist in the human biological form of life. The generated biological body is like a garment covering the already embodied jiva-soul. This is very difficult to understand, what is written here in ‘THE SECRET BOOK OF ORIGINS’, is how this happens and is also the correct understanding of what the jiva (life force or souls lower self) is and where it originates.
The Sanskrit word jiva in this thesis means transmitted sub-conscious dreaming thoughts that originate from its eternal individual Krishna Conscious atma- (self) vigraha- (form) everlasting body in Krishna’s abode, without being aware of that Krishna Conscious body.
· The ATMA-VIGRAHA BODY is the higher self and is always ones Krishna Conscious individual bodily form.
· The sub-consciousness: - lower self, or the illusory dream appears sometimes as an individual spark of effulgence after its attempts to enjoy in the material illusory universe, but more often imagines itself as the all-pervasive self centred oneness. (Impersonalist yogis, Mayavadis, jains and Buddhists) This deluded sub-consciousness in a psychosis of denial originates from the same atma-vigraha individual permanent bodily source; unaware of that origin that is always an independent individual bodily servant of Krishna. Just as when one dreams in their present biological body, they are unaware of that biological body from whence they are dreaming from
Lord Krishna’s eternal Kingdom is known as Goloka-Vrindavan, or the Kingdom of God. Some scholars call the atma-vigraha body, the jiva or atma soul – all are correct. However, to make this book easier to understand, the Sanskrit word JIVA refers to the transmitted forgetful sub-consciousness that emanates from the eternal and never changing Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body that is always serving Krishna (God) in Goloka-Vrindavan. The forgetful Krishna Consciousness that creates the dreamy sub-consciousness of the atma-vigraha personalities in Goloka-Vrindavan is called the televised transmitted jiva–sub-consciousness. The jiva sub-consciousness has no knowledge of it atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious body and therefore goes on too create many different levels of extended sub-conscious levels within the material illusion that often exist in an impersonal shrewdness where their universe appears all one with them.
This delusion is possible because the sub-consciousness jiva is isolated within its own dreaming consciousness and can dream up anything they desire – at least in the beginning stages of their dream, before they become trapped by karma, when they enter the illusionary heavenly planets in the material creation. When one is fully awake and aware Krishna Consciousness in a selfless devotional mood, the jiva-sub-consciousness ceases to exist because of its transformation from lower self back to higher self. By failing to remember Krishna, one falls, due to forgetfulness, to the jiva-sub-conscious lower self’s thoughts and desires that reverberates sub-conscious thoughts of non-Krishna Conscious origins (desires and wishes) that broadcast the realism-dream-state-illusion of the impermanent material universe. The English word for life force, jiva, atma-vigraha, is soul or living entity. In later chapters the description of Goloka-Vrindavan and the Vishnu Planets in the Vaikunthas will also be explained. This goes into a deeper understanding and explains how ones real self (atma-vigraha) serves Krishna in unlimited ways, even when sleeping and dreaming in a Krishna Conscious atmosphere.
In this way, the dreams of the atma-vigraha are always Krishna Conscious and are never about the material universe. It is impossible to dream of the material universe in ones atma-vigraha transcendental (Krishna Conscious) body. Only the sub-consciousness, that is completely unaware of the atma-vigraha body, can dream of the material universe.
When one dreams of Krishna in the Kingdom of God in their real form (atma-vigraha), such dreams expand one’s relationship with Krishna in unlimited unique ways, then there are Krishna Conscious dreams within those dreams, on and on and on – this is how one can be a servant, a son or daughter, a friend, a parent, a lover, a bird for Krishna to enjoy, a tree, a blade of grass for Krishna to walk on, a star (all fully Krishna Conscious) in the sky for Krishna to dance under during the moon lit night, or even an enemy of Krishna in His Lila or pastime. Also Krishna Himself has unlimited expansions that allows Him to Be with every individual simultaneously and appear as other expanded personalities, such as Balarama, Radharani, Lord Rama and multi varieties of Vishnu to name a few - all at the same time. This is explained in the Caitanya Caritamrta however, these secrets of secrets can only be understood when one is fully selflessly Krishna Conscious and can never be imitated.
Brahman must be held together by form because it IS the form of Krishna and His individual servants. The Brahma Samhita and other Vedic texts are often misconstrued, depicting an impersonal origin and misconception of how and where the individual jiva (sub-consciousness) originally exists; the great Vaisnavas who gave us this transcendental text did not intend this misapprehension of Impersonal impressions. Many of us just have not gone deep enough into the real meanings of Devotion and Personalism that is the foundation of the Brahma Samhita and the Vedanta.
Text 21 of the Brahma Samhita
The same individual life jiva is eternal and is for eternity and without a beginning joined to the Supreme Lord by the tie of an eternal kinship or relationships. He is transcendental Spiritual (devotional) potency. Just as the sun is eternally associated with its rays, so the transcendental Supreme Lord Krishna is eternally joined with the atma-vigrahas personalities in their full expression of devotional individuality, which is their originally position and who they really are.
The atma-vigrahas are the infinitesimal in comparison to Lord Krishna however, the analogy of the sun and the sun-rays is only a metaphor, Krishna in his Supreme Personal top most Form is not an effulgent sun but a Supreme Person.
In the same way, the individual atma-vigrahas, (also referred to as jiva’s by scholars, though, in this thesis, the Sanskrit word “jiva” will refer to the non-Krishna Cognisant sub-consciousness of the atma-vigraha) are not atomic rays or particles surrounding the sun because they are also individual persons (atma-vigraha’s having an original bodily form). The word nitya-sambandhah is significant here meaning possessing an eternal relationship with Krishna in a spiritual (devotional) sense. The Sanskrit word para means spiritual devotion. The atma-vigraha’s (always Krishna Conscious as their real self and form) and the discharged non-Krishna sub-conscious thoughts (jiva) are simultaneously without beginning or and always joined. Unlike Krishna and the individual atma-vigraha servitors, the dreaming wide-ranging jiva sub-consciousness can appear to exist as an atomic spark of inactive consciousness, only after choosing to forget Krishna and them selves (atma-vigraha), by attempting an independent non-Krishna Conscious existence in the material universe, then further attempting to end that material active existence by switching off thoughts and entering the Impersonal Brahmajoyti, which is another creation of the jiva sub-consciousness. The independent non-Krishna Conscious projected sub-consciousness originates and is transmits thoughts as the material universe without any memory of its atma-vigraha origins and form that is always in Krishna’s perpetual abode. The jiva-sub-consciousness (soul) not only roams throughout the material impermanent universe in a variety of bodies, but may also eventually, if it stays long enough, finds its way to the Impersonal inactive deceptive Impersonal Brahmajoyti.
The word Brahmajoyti or Brahman has two meanings,
1. Impersonal Brahman, which is an illusion created by the non-Krishna sub-conscious mind (the lower self) attained after becoming frustrated and fed up with the temporary nature of the active material universe, where the jiva sub-conscious takes on the characteristics of an atomic inactive spark in a ray of effulgence however, just like the material universe, such a state of sub-consciousness is an illusion and also temporary.
2. Personal Brahman where the spiritual Krishna Conscious Personal universal active brahmajoyti exists with innumerable spiritual (devotional) planets, which are dominated by plenary expansions of Lord Krishna and inhabited by ever-liberated (Krishna Conscious) living beings (atma-vgraha bodies) that ARE the Brahman effulgence. This real meaning of the word Brahmajoyti explains that the living effulgence (individual persons) surrounding Krishna’s transcendental body. It is therefore clear that that effulgence is nothing other than unlimited eternal personalities as their Spiritual bodies serving on unlimited ever lasting devotional Vishnu Planets (Vaikuntha) where the living entities (atma-vigraha’s) in there four armed form serve Vishnu, or in any multi variety form that Lord Vishnu’s Lila calls for. After all, animal, birds, trees and stars in the sky, also exist eternally in the Spiritual Universe however these secrets can never be understood unless one is Krishna Conscious, which means always being absorbed in every deed, thought, action in the one you love the most, which is inherently Krishna for all living entities, soul’s, life force’s in their original individual Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha form. (The higher self)
The concept of a, ‘atom in the effulgent ray of Krishna’s effulgence, is Impersonal nonsense and the creation of the jiva-sub-consciousness in the non- Krishna Conscious lower self.
Just as Krishna has an eternal original bodily form, the atma-vigraha’s are also an original eternal individual bodily form that is always serving Krishna. 9月12日 Explaining the Origin of the jiva soul Part 1
Quote Origin of the jiva soul Part 1 Origin of the jiva soul Part 1Part 1 The full potential and memory of one’s extended-projected-forgetful-jiva-soul-sub-consciousness transmitted as fading illusionary dreams within the material universe, originates at the source of that transmission, which is one’s full consciousness or atma-vigraha Krishna Conscious imperishable body in Goloka-Vrindavan, the eternal Kingdom of God. CHAPTER 1 Origin of jiva soul The origin of the jiva-soul (life force projected consciousness) and how one falls from the Personal Active Kingdom of God (in a projected dreaming consciousness), to the impermanent material world, where one’s dreaming consciousness creates an unlimited variety of temporary bodily ethereal (heavenly) and biological (earthly) forms, that includes all the various species of biological shapes or vessels, as well as a further projected dream-state illusionary escape into inactivity, known as the Impersonal motionless Brahma-sayujya, Brahmajoyti, tatastra-sakti, living sparks of inactive light, Nirvana or Void, will all be fully all explained in this thesis. Those who seek the shelter of the Impersonal inactive Brahmajoyti, have long, long ago denied the existence of a Personal God who is the maintainer of all, as well as their own original ‘un infected consciousness’ as bodily form, personality, identity and individuality (atma-vigraha) that exists as an eternal loving selfless servant of God or Krishna. They therefore eventually take shelter of the Brahmajoyti because they have long ago forgotten their unadulterated Spiritual bodily relationship with Krishna and after doing so, project or broadcasted their forgetful transmittable dreaming consciousness to their own ‘reality’ (material universe) that, unlike the Spiritual universe is temporary. It is only after exhausting their attempts to enjoy independently and actively in their mental thought creations or dreams (known as the unreal or impermanent material universe) they seek shelter of the Impersonal dreamless, inactive non-spiritual Brahmajoyti, that is also only a temporary illusionary dream-state resting place. In other words, they deny (forget) the existence of their eternal bodily character and form known in Sanskrit as their original and only existent self or ‘atma-vigraha’ body. Even without any knowledge of God (Krishna) or our own real eternal individual bodily Spiritual form, we are still all eternally connected to our perpetual body in Gods Kingdom, even while we are transmitting our forgetful dreams within the material universe or non-dreams within the Brahmajoyti. Unfortunately we have absolutely no knowledge that the various ethereal bodies (heavenly) biological bodies (earthly) and identities we have created in the material temporary world is actually a dream-state formed and projected by ones slumbering forgetful or ‘day-dreaming’ atma-vigraha body in the Kingdom of God. The forgetful consciousness of the atma-vigraha bodies reverberates sub-conscious thoughts that transmit the dream state material universe. Such thoughts or dreams are echoed or broadcasted from ones transmutable consciousness situated as ones real and only perpetual body (atma-vigraha or ones real individual form and Krishna Conscious self). Even though the sub-consciousness is dreaming of many temporary bodily forms in the material universe, one’s projected consciousness is always eternally connected to its atma-vigraha bodily source because that is who one really is. Unaware of our original eternal body, we are caught up in a ‘thought-generated material dream world’ that can progress to a thoughtless dreamless-state in the Brahmajoyti, which is also a temporary dream as already explained. It is due to forgetfulness the living entities (atma-vigraha’s) think each impermanent body their projected sub-conscious-jiva-soul possess, is who they really are, and the all in all. Unfortunately they go on to further ‘imagine’, after becoming frustrated of existing in this impermanent way for many, many births and deaths, to pursue an inactive state of consciousness in the Brahmajoyti, that is also known as the Nirvana, clear light or Void. Unfortunately their deluded forgetful consciousness ‘visualizes’ (creates in their mind) an ending to their existence, which is just another dream-state of the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness. Such a conscious flight of the imagination or dreamless dream is also temporary. Eventually, after many, many births and deaths we come to realize the ethereal vessel within the material universe containing the atma-vigraha’s projected-jiva-soul-consciousness, as well as that consciousnesses extended biological body, is governed by the strict uniform laws of reward and punishment (Karma) In the material temporary universe they learn every ‘dreaming’ action has and exact and opposite reaction (karma), its not some free-for-fall, we are responsible even in our dreaming projections from this absolute level of consciousness. All individual life (the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness originating and transmitted from ones perpetual atma-vigraha body in the Kingdom of God) is organized. Krishna has allowed the dream universe to exist through His expansion of Maha Vishnu whose dreams ARE the dreams of all the individual atma-vigraha’s who choose to et their consciousness drift off into ‘non-Krishna Conscious’ imaginings. We therefore, in our projected dream state consciousness are forced to experience the phenomena of birth, old age, disease and finally death when our temporary transmitted simulcast dreamed-up bodily vessel is no longer fit enough to possess our dreaming projected-jiva-soul-consciousness, our consciousness transmigrates to another biological bodily form that also awaits the same fate of decay. The ethereal, biological and material illusionary dream is a complicated imaginary universe that has different laws of its own governing the different levels one’s individual broadcasted consciousness, that is transmitted from their atma-vigraha body in the Kingdom of God, is on. From the heavenly material ethereal universe to the middle biological planetary systems, where our earth planet exists, then finally to the hellish planets – the reactions of Karma are so severe that it leaves the trapped projected-jiva-soul-consciousness with very little room to move freely. Just like in a jail, one can do what ever they want but are restricted by the rules of the jail – remember it was their actions that put them in jail in the first place. All this is explained in further chapters. Such impermanence of the material dream does not exist with our real form back in Gods undying Kingdom when fully awake and Krishna Consciousness. The projected thoughts or dream emanating from ones eternal original atma-vigraha source, appear real but eventually fade, this is the nature of the impermanent universe, which is an un-real reality and non-existent illusion in comparison to the Kingdom of God. Within the material universe, the forgetful-projected-jiva-soul-consciousness is forced to again re-generate a new biological body however, the same thing happens again and again leaving the dweller (projected-jiva-soul-consciousness) of the temporary body irritated and frustrated. One works so hard to build up their material possessions, as well as family and friends around them, only to again be forced to give it all up when death comes. They also realize that even if they could extend their life span, still, the buildings they construct and the beautiful women they marry do not last forever, all embodied life in the material universe is worn down by disease, old age and death, or the constructions they build are blown away by the wind, rain and erosion. In this way, the ‘temporary nature of the material universe’ becomes so frustrating watching everything one has manufactured and loves over a lifetime, slowly fade away. It is at this point one begins to seek a way out and foolishly attempt to end their existence altogether. Such people who choose the Impersonal path to find freedom are Buddhists, Jains, Jnani’s and Yogis. Due to ignorance of who they really are (atma-vigraha living entity), they come to the realization it’s futile trying to build a Kingdom of gods in a world that is temporary, therefore instead of continuing life after life attempting to build an empire only to have it taken away by death, they come to the conclusion that ending their form, identity, personality and individuality is the solution. They identify pain and suffering with being embodied because they have forgotten their original eternal bodily form, personality, individuality and identity (atma-vigraha body) from whence they are dreaming from. Both the material universe and the act of merging themselves into an inactive state (the Brahmajoyti, Nirvana, Clear light or Void) are the ‘dreamless’ dreams originating from ones sleeping atma-vigraha body, which, like holding your breath, can not last. One again falls out of that dreamless state (Impersonal Brahmajoyti) and fall back into the material ocean of unlimited dreams. Srila Prabhupada explains our origins are associating and serving Krishna (God) in a permanent bodily we have presently forgotten. Our separation from Gods Personal Kingdom, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada taught, is a dream. We dream, “I am this body,” and we dream of happiness in material relationships. This dreaming condition is our non-liberated state. But although this state of dreaming may seem to last for lifetimes, as soon as we become Krishna conscious we awaken, and the dream at once disappears. “After millions and millions of years of keeping oneself away from the Lila [pastimes] of the Lord, when one comes to Krishna consciousness this period becomes insignificant, like dreaming.” origin of the jiva soul Part 2Part 2 Srila Prabhupada in his lectures always says that originally we were all Krishna-conscious living entities and on the Hare Krishna album He addresses a large audience with the words: "We are all originally Krishna (God) conscious entities" In I968 Srila Prabhupada tells an inquisitive devotee. "You can know Goloka-Vrindavan by hearing from Srimad-Bhagavatam. Why we are citing so many scriptures, like Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-Gita? Just to remember." "Just to remember?" The devotee inquisitively replies “Yes to remember something’s you forget” Srila Prabhupada explains in his heavy Indian accented English, and then continues. “But if I tell you repeatedly; you hear; you remember. Is it not? Here is something you have forgotten completely, and I remind you constantly. Then don't you remember?" "Yes, but I don't understand how it is that we ‘forgot it’ . . . How can we ‘remember’ since I have no memory of being there in the first place?" she asked. ”Forgot, you forgot." Srila Prabhupada continued to explain patiently, "That is your nature. You forget so many things. You cannot remember what you were doing exactly at this time yesterday. Can you remember immediately? Forgetfulness is our nature. We are very minute. We are subjected to the quality of forgetfulness”. Srila Prabhupada further adds: - “Just like Arjuna. Arjuna was asking Krishna, 'How can I believe that you told this philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita to Vivasvan?' "And in reply to that question, Krishna said, 'Both you and I have had many, many births before, but you have forgotten, I remember.' That is the difference between the Supreme Lord and us. He does not forget. He remembers everything, past, present, future - all. But we forget. That is the difference between God and living entity (jiva-soul). We are subjected to forgetfulness. So we forget. Again, if it is reminded, we remember. That is our nature. At the present moment we are forgetful of our eternal relationship with Krishna, then, by good association, by constant chanting, hearing and remembering, we again invoke our ‘OLD’ consciousness. That is called Krishna consciousness." It is clear when Srila Prabhupada refers to our “Old” consciousness he meant that we were with Lord Krishna in Goloka Vrindavan (the Kingdom of God) in our imperishable devotional eternal atma-vigraha (atma means self, vigraha means bodily form)) Spiritual (devotional) body that our present roaming projected consciousness (jiva-soul or life-force) has now forgotten. Srila Prabhupada says that we cannot argue about it, therefore, as Prabhupada's disciples, we have to accept his final words: - "Because he falls down from ‘brahma-sayujya’ (another name for the Impersonal inactive motionless Brahmajoyti), he thinks that may be his origin; but he does not remember that before that even he was with Krishna. Formerly we were with Krishna in His Lila or sport" (Lecture in Australia 1972) Srila Prabhupada can and does say that the living entity (atma-vigraha) never actually falls from the spiritual world however the forgetful consciousness of the living entity (The projected jiva-soul-consciousness) can. Paramahamsa: So we can come to the Spiritual World and return? Srila Prabhupada: Yes. Paramahamsa: Fall down? Srila Prabhupada: Yes. As soon as we try, "Oh, this material world is very nice," "Yes," Krishna says, "yes, you go." Just like nobody is interested in Krishna consciousness. Do you think everyone is interested? So. They want to enjoy this material world. Otherwise what is the meaning of free will? Every living entity has got a little free will. And Krishna is so kind, He gives him opportunity, "All right, you enjoy like this." Just like some of our students, Krishna conscious, sometimes go away, again come back. It is free will, not stereotyped. Just like one goes to the prison house, not that government welcomes, "Come on. We have got prison house. Come here, come here." He goes out of his free will; again comes out, again goes. Like that. (Morning Walk At Cheviot Hills Golf Course--May 13, 1973, Los Angeles) emphases added In the Srimad Bhagavatam it says: ‘Learned transcendentalists (Krishna Consciousness devotees) who know the Absolute Truth call this non-dual substance Brahman, Paramatma or Bhagavan. (SB 1.2.11) So there are only three categories in the Absolute Truth. 1. Bhagavan: - Lord Krishna's original nature, Form, Personality, Individuality and identity. 2. Paramatma: -His expansion that accompanies all atma-vigraha’s even in their sleeping slumber when their sub-conscious thoughts are projected into the impermanent dream state that is the material universe. 3. Brahman: - His living energy. Obviously we fit into the category of His energy, Brahman. We are the individual energies personified as our atma-vigraha original body and consciousness and the projected jiva-soul sub-consciousness is an extension of that atma-vigraha body when ones consciousness is not absorbed in always thinking of Krishna. Lord Krishna is the energetic and maintainer and Master of the personified energies (atma-vigraha’s) It must be made clear there are different varieties of Brahman, including impersonal Brahman. All ‘so called’ individual jiva-sparks, which are the projected jiva-soul-sub-consciousnesses originating from one atma-vigraha’s full conscious body, existing in the Impersonal Brahmajoyti, are actually the minute dreamless extended projected sub-consciousness ‘illuminating’ from ones full-conscious real self and perpetual bodily form in Goloka-Vrindavan. The Brahmajoyti encompasses everything real (eternal Krishna Consciousness) and unreal (impermanent dream-state) Reality only exists in Krishna’s Goloka-Vrindavan and the Vaikuntha Vishnu Kingdoms. On the other hand, the unreal projected dreams transmitted from the atma-vigraha, as well as Krishna’s sleeping dreaming expansion Maha –Vishnu, who makes it all possible for the projected dreaming consciousness of the atma-vigraha to enter the dream-up impersonal inactive characteristic of the inactive Impersonal Brahmajoyti, as well as the dream-up imaginary material temporary universe, is also implanted in the Brahman and transmitted from the Spirtual bodily expansion of Krishna known as Maha-Vishnu. Another aspect originating from Brahman (projected-life-consciousness) is Krishna’s separate energies, or lifeless matter left over from the presents of projected-jiva-soul-consciousness. This take place when the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness transmigrates from one biological body to another, leaving behind fossil remains that go on to make up the lifeless aspect of the material universe such as dust, sand, gases, rocks, mountains, planets, moons, stars, solar systems and Galaxy’s. This is very difficult to understand and will be explained in great detail later. It is therefore clear that our forgetful fallen projected-jiva-soul-consciousness does not come from the impersonal inactive energy of Lord Krishna (the Brahmajoyti), which is actually the resting place of unlimited inactive dreamless-projected-jiva-soul-consciousness (originating from their atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan) who had previously become exasperated with their dreaming creations in material existence. The atma-vigraha’s projected transmitted dreaming jiva-soul-consciousness is therefore situated in the Impersonal dormant dreamless distinction aspect of the Brahmajoyti due to forgetfulness of Krishna and their own real form. Therefore there only memory of ‘activity and being a person’ is the frustration of material existence. However, the real fullness of ones projected-jiva-soul-consciousness is illuminated from and found at the source of that transmission, the personal active individual eternal devotional atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan where we are eternally situated in our nitya-sidda-atma-vigraha-sat-cit-ananda (meaning an eternally liberated bodily form that is forever our real self and the embodiment of eternity, knowledge and Bliss) however, even those so called ‘eternally conditioned’ projected-jiva-souls who have temporarily placed their individual projected-individual consciousness into the impersonal motionless ocean of inactive consciousness (Brahman or Brahmajoyti feature of creation), after appearing in many dreamed-up bodies within the material universe, are also originally eternally liberated in their timeless atma–vigraha body that is always fully Krishna Conscious. It’s a question of remembering that consciousness or forgetting it. Origin of the jiva soul Part 3part 3 Therefore, the choice is between ones real consciousness (devoted to Krishna thoughts as ones real self and form - atma-vigraha-sat-cit-ananda) and ones imaginary consciousness (non-Krishna Conscious thoughts or dreams within the atma-vigraha’s sub-consciousness that is responsible for creating the material illusion or dream). Krishna is the energetic and the individual atma-vigraha’s are the energies in their complete fullness and body that is always Krishna Consciousness as long as they choose to remain Spiritual aware and awake to the fullness of their real identity. In other words, ones original projected consciousness (jiva-soul) originated, or more to the point, is transmitting from themselves or their ‘nitya-sidda-atma-vigraha-sat-cit-ananda bodily source’ in Goloka-Vrindavan. All life in the active material dream and the Impersonal inactive dreamless dream in the Brahmajoyti is the individual projected consciousness originating abd broadcasted from the atma-vigraha body. That ‘BROADCASTED’ consciousness is called the jiva-soul. There are only three aspects to the creation from which everything else is based on, 1. Krishna Consciousness and His imperishable reality of eternal associates. 2. Non-Krishna Conscious imaginary universes and the dream projected impermanent worlds, and… 3. The choices to be remember Krishna (see 1) or forget Krishna (see 2). Technically there is only Goloka-Vrindavan, Lord Krishna and Chaitanya’s Personal intimate central planet and the surrounding Vaikuntha Vishnu planets of servitude. They are the only real and permanent realities in the creation that is indisputable genuine and not an imaginary replication or dream. It must be made clear that the jiva-soul-consciousness and the atma-vigraha are the same – the eternal imperishable bodily form or real self is the source of all transmissions or ethereal, biological and material dreams – but for the purpose of communicating and promoting correct understanding in this book, the projected dream-state consciousness emanating from the atma-vigraha body while forgetful of Krishna, will be called ‘the projected-transmitted-jiva-soul-consciousness’. In other words, the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness is the dreaming consciousness emitting dreaming thoughts originating from ones atma-vigraha body. Over the centuries within the Vaisnava tradition and especially today, some have proposed that the living entities (atma-vigraha’s) projected-jiva-soul-consciousness dreaming in this material world, were originally located in the brahmajyoti instead of a their atma-vigraha body in the Spiritual planets. Their idea that the ‘origin of the jiva soul consciousness is from the Brahmajoyti’ is nonsense and an offensive philosophy that denies the true greatness of Krishna’s creation and the proper understanding of Personalism. It is further not possible because the entire Brahmajoyti, except for the Goloka-Vrindavan realm and the Vishnu-loka planets in Vaikuntha realm, are made up by the projected mistaken forgetful ‘preventable thoughts’ or ‘dreams’, including the dreamless dream state in the ‘Impersonal’ Brahmajoyti, derived from the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness originating or, more precise, emanating amd transmitted from one’s ‘real bodily self’ known as nitya-sidda-atma-vigraha-sat-cit-ananda, or one’s imperishable full consciousness (body), while not ‘fully Krishna conscious (forgetful of Krishna) of their nitya-sidda or eternally liberated Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body. There are different aspects of Brahman, this aspect of the Brahman effulgence or Brahmajoyti is an illusion, only as real as the dreams one has at night however, from the absolute level of consciousness, ones thoughts and dreams emitting from their atma-vigraha body into the material universe, becomes ones ‘reality and existence’ Srila Prabhupada was directly asked about this and replied in a letter to Revatinandana Prabhu, dated June 13, 1970. "The next question, about the living entities falling down in this material world is not from the impersonal Brahman (Brahmajoyti). Existence in the impersonal Brahman is also within the category of non-Krishna consciousness. Those who are in the Brahman effulgence, they are also in the fallen condition, so there is no question of falling down from a fallen condition. When fall takes place, it means falling down from the non-fallen condition." In other words, the living entities (atma-viraha’s) in this material world cannot have originally fallen from the Brahmajyoti because the living entities (atma-vigraha’s) projected-jiva-soul-consciousness originates and is transmitted from the atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan. Those whose have merged their Individual transmitted consciousness into the Impersonal Brahmajyoti have already fallen from their imperishable atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan long, long before they entered the Brahmajoyti. Due to mistaken desires, torment and frustration that material life gives, the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness may take shelter in the Brahmajoyti however, that merging is only temporary because the inherited nature of the transmitted projected-jiva-soul-consciousness is activity, therefore it is inevitable the projected-extended-jiva-soul-consciousness will fall repeatedly from the Impersonal Brahmajoyti for as long as it takes to eventually realize the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness is actually an extension illuminating, emanating or being transmitted from ones real embodied full Krishna consciousness (The atma-vigraha body). Technically there is no life in the material illusionary universe or even in the imaginary Impersonal Brahmajoyti because of life life only exists in the Kingdom of God or Goloka-Vrindavan/Vaikunthas. The ethereal and biological bodies as well as the material universe and the Impersonal Brahmajoyti is actually made up of the projected non-Krishna Conscious thoughts or dreams transmitting from both Krishna’s Maha-Vishnu bodily expansion and simultaneously the individual atma-vigraha’s extended dreaming forgetfulness of the Kingdom of God that illuminates as the Brahmajoyti and the material universe. Therefore the living entities (their projected jiva-soul-consciousness illuminating as different forms in the material world, is only a projection originating from their real identity and body that always remains in Krishna’s Kingdom – the only reality. In other words their sub-consciousness has fallen and is transmitted from the non-fallen position of their eternal atma-vigraha body, which is always in Krishna’s service or play (Lila). The Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body is NOT a spark of light, it is ones eternal original active bodily form. Only the projected sub-conscious dream-state, sometimes also called the ‘teleported-jiva-soul-consciousness’ may sometimes be transmitted, due to forgetfulness of Krishna, from their original form in Goloka-Vrindavan and ‘consciously’ appear as a an atomic inactive spark of light, only when one’s consciousness is not actively dreaming up various bodies in the material illusionary universe, nor able to ‘wake up’ as themselves in their real Spiritual Krishna Conscious body in Goloka-Vrindavan. That inactive consciousness is called the infinitesimal atomic spark that hovers in the Impersonal Brahmajoyti as transmissible consciousness only.As already explained, technically no life exists outside of Goloka-Vrindavan – all ‘so called life’ is outside the only reality of the Kingdom of God (Goloka-Vrindavan/Vaikuntha) is broadcasted or transmitted as extended projected transmutable ‘dreaming’ consciousness. When the atma-vigraha body is slumbering and forgetful of Krishna, ones real self and form (atma-vigraha) becomes a projectionist facilitating, transmitting and projecting ones un-Krishna Consciousness mistaken self-centered thoughts or visions into a dream-state dimension we call the material universe and the Brahmajoyti. The forgetful dream-state of the atma-vigraha projects ones dreaming non-Krishna Conscious desires and thoughts TRANSMITTING as the projected-jiva-soul-consciousness into an illusionary hallucination or creation we call the material universe. It is in that teleported dream we create innumerable impermanent ethereal and biological vessels in the material illusionary universe as well as ones position and surroundings that include the Brahmajoyti. Eventually ones teleported consciousness, originating from the source of the transmission, which is one’s atma-vigraha body, is completely forgotten by the lost projected-transmitted-jiva-soul-consciousness due to so being caught up within selfish dreams within the material universe. Eventually ones lost forgetful consciousness becomes fed up and frustrated with the temporary nature of the material dream, it is at that time one’s projected-jiva-soul-consciousness further dreams-up or imagines itself in an impermanent Impersonal inactive dreamless-state that appears as a ‘spark of unconscious Impersonal light’ in the motionless inactivity we call the Impersonal Brahmajoyti. The Impersonal Brahmajoyti is made up of the unlimited projected individual jiva-soul-consciousnesses all transmitted from the transmutable source of unlimited individual atma-vigraha permanent imperishable bodies in Goloka-Vrindavan. It is only the projected-broadcasted-jiva-soul-consciousness transmitting from each atma-vigraha source that becomes suspended in illusionary phenomena of time and space in the Impersonal Brahmajoyti. Many so-called advanced transcendentalists cannot understand this fact, some in the Gaudya Math sect advocate our original form is a spark of light from the Brahmajoyti, their understanding is incorrect and incomplete. Unfortunately some ISKCON devotees also advocate the nonsense Brahmajoyti ‘origin’ also. The jiva-soul-conciousness is a spark of illumination transmitted from its source, the atma-vigraha body. The jiva-soul-consciousness is simultaneously one with the atma-vigraha body and at the same time projected or transmitted as an extension from ones eternal atma-vigraha consciousness. This sub-conscious forgetful state is broadcasted as ones dreaming absent-minded consciousness into the material universe and eventually the Impersonal Brahmajoyti. The imperishable atma-vigraha body in Goloka-Vrindavan is forgotten, just like when one is absorbed in a dream and forgets their biological body from whence one is dreaming from. The selfish dreaming consciousness only occurs when one turns away from Krishna. The real self or bodily form never enters the material universe (unless invited for Krishna Lila) or the Brahmajoyti. The atma-vigraha’s sub-consciousness is projected and illuminated into the material dream by choice. In other words, ones consciousness is projected from ones original bodily form in Goloka-Vrindavan after overlooking Krishna. The atma vigraha body never leaves Goloka-Vrindavan; only the sub-consciousness thoughts do (not the full consciousness), when one is no longer ‘Krishna consciousness’ The connection to whom one really is (the eternally Krishna Conscious atma-vigraha body) can never be destroyed. |
