0663 - TALKS: 7 Rays & the Mandala of Mind

Episode 0663 - 7 Rays & the Mandala of Mind
(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)

Comments on the 7 rays, core 5 rays of consciousness, progressive levels of knowing (vidya) & the 7-chakra developing path to full awakening (Jnana, Nibbana). Components of the Mandala of Mind:

- Horizontal (3D space/time, physical, material) vs. Vertical (time/space, non-physical, immaterial, mind/spirit, higher-density)

- Concrete (mind/body, manasic, logical) vs. Abstract (buddhi/intuitive)

- Subjective (personal/dualistic, vijnana) vs. Universal (non-personal, non-dual, satvid, satchit)

- Intensity of Light: magnification, breadth (range) vs. depth (focus)

Associated teachings drawn from the Ra Material (Law of One series), transpersonal psychology, core Taoism, Pali Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
