Inner Awareness Podcast

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast is part of a dialogue with a seminar participant; it explores the importance of separating awareness from the movement of the individual mind and the field of Maya. The authentic human mind should remain stable, silent, and have space for awareness to move freely. It should also be under an individual’s conscious control rather than being pushed and pulled by the I which is only apparently real and functions within the field of Maya.

Awareness, coincides functionally with Brahma and, like Brahma, exists prior to and independent of what it perceives. When awareness is constantly pushed and pulled by patterns, and waves of energy and consciousness that emerge from the field of Maya, the authentic mind won’t be silent or stable. The solution is to separate your awareness from whatever is moving it. By doing that you will be able to identify what is holding it and release it. Once awareness is free and stable, it will easily come into contact with Atman, which permeates all fields within a human’s subtle field of energy and consciousness.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast presents the importance of awareness as a reliable guide for making appropriate decisions. Appropriateness is described as the long game, it requires a person to discern whether a choice supports their Dharma in both the present moment and in the future. Unlike feelings and emotions, which can be manipulated, blocked and distorted easily, awareness is more reliable and provides greater clarity as long as it remains free from deception and resistance. The field of awareness is composed of the field itself, the ‘anti awareness field’, and the ‘not awareness field’, each part of the collective field influences an individual’s ability to recognize what is real and what is not, and that will determine whether they can make decisions that are appropriate. By maintaining the integrity of the collective field of awareness and using the knowledge it provides it becomes possible to recognize what is appropriate and make life affirming decisions that are appropriate in both the present and the future.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast examines the relationship between the I, Jivatman, Paramatman, Prakriti, and Purusha, questioning whether the I has any true existence. It presents the idea that the I may belong entirely to Prakriti rather than to the authentic self, while Jivatman and Paramatman are the enduring aspects of reality. From this perspective, the question is whether the I is something that must be integrated or simply recognized as unreal. It also raises the possibility that oneness does not necessarily mean everything reduces to the same empty nothingness, but simply that everything is connected. The possibility is raised that there is no I at all, but only Jivatman and Paramatman, with the I being an expression of Prakriti that is mistakenly identified as the self.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast examines the distinction between fields that are manifest and unmanifest. The manifest world consists of three fields: the multiverse, interspace, and the Third State. Beyond these lies the unmanifest world, which is divided into Loka and Aloka, where Aloka refers to fields that are unmanifest but carry the potential to become manifest. Some unmanifest fields have the potential to become manifest, while others don’t. In spite of this unmanifest fields such as the omni field, the field of existence, and the prior field still receive impressions created when they interact with someone’s functions of mind. There are sixteen functions of mind including intent, will, desire etc. Impressions, referred to as Chit, in Sanskrit and vehicles formed from interactions between unmanifest fields and functions of mind can influence both your subtle field and the subtle fields of other people and will interfere with an individual’s path toward liberation. These realities cannot be fully understood intellectually but only through direct visceral experience.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast discusses the distinction between the authentic mind and the transcendent mind. The authentic mind consists of fields of energy and consciousness with universal qualities, while the individual mind is only conditionally real. Most people remain centered in the individual mind because they remain identified the I and its needs and desires, which limits access to the authentic mind. You can center yourself in your authentic mind by centering yourself in fields with universal qualities, which includes chakra fields, on the level of soul, energy gate fields on the level of spirit, and energy vortexes on the transcendent level. The transcendent mind is an element of the authentic mind. When you center yourself in your transcendent mind it will become easier to experience your intuition, discernment, and insight. By centering in your authentic mind and its transcendent aspect regularly, you will remain centered in universal qualities and gain greater access to the bliss that emerges from Atman.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast discusses two different views of ADD and ADHD. One view is that these individuals process information differently because their brains are wired differently. The other, metaphysical view is that they spend much of their time in the transcendent mind rather than in the individual mind which is centered in the field of Maya. According to this perspective, characteristics commonly associated with ADD, such as difficulties with executive function, time, responsibilities, and conventional expectations, arise because these individuals use their mind inductively focusing on insight, intuition, and inner knowing rather than linear thinking. While this creates challenges for kids living within patriarchal societies, it is not a defect; it’s a form of mindfulness that will permeate the world in the future. Many of these children are therefore misunderstood and judged according to patriarchal standards that no longer serve humanity. Rather than being impaired, they are early representatives of a different way of functioning that will be better suited to the core values of the next Yuga. Their greatest challenge is living in a society that still interprets their differences as shortcomings instead of recognizing them as part of a life - affirming revolution in human consciousness.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast examines the role of caring in spiritual life and argues that caring by itself is not necessarily a virtue. Caring must be conditioned by appropriateness, because insinuating yourself in situations that are not appropriate can weaken your boundaries, create attachments, and interfere with both your well-being and the well-being of others. Helping someone is beneficial only when it is appropriate; otherwise it can become a form of self-involvement rather than compassion. Authentic and inauthentic feelings are not the same, many emotional states are actually supported by distorted fields of energy with individual qualities rather than genuine expressions of energy fields with universal qualities. Authentic emotions resolve themselves naturally, while distorted emotions cannot be resolved by a human being’s subtle energy field. They remain active and continue to influence behavior, core values and a human’s sense of personal identity. By developing discernment, avoiding attachment, and acting when it’s appropriate, it’s possible to care for others while you maintain your well–being and personal integrity.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast discusses the nature and importance of boundaries within the subtle field of consciousness and energy. Human beings are interdimensional beings and function simultaneously on physical and non-physical dimensions through their subtle field of consciousness and energy. The subtle field contains complex systems, including the system of chakras, auric fields, energy gates, meridians, dantians, and vortexes. Surrounding all of these systems are thin surface boundaries that protect the integrity of the subtle field while allowing universal feminine energy to radiate through it into the external environment. Strong boundaries are essential because they support the free flow of energy, the experience of bliss, they protect the subtle field from projections of distorted fields, and non-physical beings that are parasitic or hostile to human beings. Weak boundaries allow other people and entities to interfere with the subtle field, creating attachments, and Self – limiting patterns, that diminish your life vibration. People with weak boundaries often fill the space around them with projections and impressions that interfere with the well-being of other people and undermine their authentic identity. Restoring boundaries requires mental discipline, detachment, discernment, and a lifestyle that supports the free movement of universal feminine energy. By remaining centered in your authentic mind and maintaining strong boundaries, you can remain stable, maintain personal integrity, and have your awareness and energy move freely within your subtle field.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast discusses the difficulty of living in an environment filled with distorted fields, dark energy, and projections from both humans and non-physical beings. Even enlightened beings and masters are still affected by the field of Maya and by the pressure of the collective field of humanity. As long as people remain centered in the I and ego, they continue to judge other people and what they do, they make demands, give themselves permission to hate people and project, distorted consciousness and energy into the subtle environment, limiting the ability of other people to remain centered and radiate life – affirming consciousness and energy freely through their subtle field. Maintaining a state of radiance therefore requires continuous effort, the integration of spiritual principles into your life and core values. An aspirant must learn to remain centered in their authentic mind without becoming reactive to projections from the field of maya; that will allow the chakras and energy gates to function properly and for energy to radiate through them freely.

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast explores how the internal dialog is influenced by projections and waves of consciousness entering the subtle field. Without mental discipline and detachment, these thoughts, feelings, and mental patterns are easily mistaken for one’s own and can create a continuous cascade of internal dialog. The key is not to become the thinker of the thoughts or the feeler of the feelings, but to remain centered in the authentic mind and allow these waves to pass through without attachment. Through practices such as “Neti Neti”, perseverance, and effortless effort, it becomes possible to develop detachment and gain greater control over the mind. Liberation requires active participation. Without mental discipline and the willingness to resist what is self-limiting, progress remains slow and a person remains vulnerable to projections, distorted fields, and negative influences. The authentic mind is described as the true foundation. By strengthening it and creating more space for authentic consciousness and universal feminine energy to radiate freely, a person gradually develops the stability, clarity, and resilience needed to continue the work of enlightenment.
