Ch7 Portals into the Unmanifested
When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise.
When your consciousness is directed inward,
it realizes its own source and returns home into the unmanifested.
Portals through which
you enter into the
unmanifested (Spiritual Realization)
Inner body
Energy field of the inner body
Present in the Now
Intensely Present
Cessation of Thinking
Disidentify from the Mind
Surrender
Letting-go of emotional-mental resistence to what is
Silence
Space
Space and Silence are two aspects of the same thing -
the same no-thing
Space has no "existence". Although in itself it has no existence, it enables everything else to exist.
Silence has no existence either, nor does the un-manifested.
Involuntary Portals
Dreamless Sleep
Another such involuntary portal opens up
briefly at the time of physical death.
Near death experience
The luminous splendor of the colorless light of emptiness
Death
An illusion as your identification with form was an illusion
It's painful only as long as you cling to illusion
Dissolution of the physical form
Cease to derive your identity from your psychological mind-made form.
The unmanifested
Only when sound appears does slience come into being.
Similarly, if there were only space without any objects in space, it wouldn't exist for you.
Nothing could be without space, yet space is nothing.
