Vbt Practice 32 of 112
So far it has been fun
Mostly with past conditioning to be undone
But if we truly wish with God to be one
Our flow of awareness must be unbroken
Through waking
Dreaming
Deep sleep
Turiya where bliss seeps
And finally turiyatita
Samadhi nirvikalpa
Such is what the practices asks
Even as we in childlike trust bask
Within the magnetic current
To which we are ever sentient
Slipping from waking into slumber
At which instant falls the tumbler?
Within the dream state what is our response
Do we lead or simply react in a trance
Likewise from dreaming to deep sleep and the fourth
Identity vaporised how does our awareness spring forth
Such are the questions
In this practice mentioned
With the remedy too offered
To awake us from our stupor
The steps involve both a focused mentality
As well as breathing with sound in physicality
The mental aspect requires a shift in our orientation
Taking all states of being as a rehearsal enacted in elation
Meaning thereby that we take all states including waking
To be in effect a practice session for before God performing ...
One day
Any day
Today
We must first take our time to reorient our awareness
That viewing all states as a dream is instinctive responsiveness
Will this take a whole lifetime?
Who knows save the divine sublime!
Next the physicality of breathing with noise
Gently ensuring that we never lose our poise
It may perhaps be substituted by the inner sound current
In case we are to the everpresent inner hum sentient
The trick being that even during the dream we retain focus
With the sound or hum we choose as the central locus
It is preferable
Some sages say even essential
That the sound be within the void of the Vishuddha
There being latent dangers if we choose Anahata or Ajna
The posture too should be while lying down on our back
Straight as a rack
We then practice this secret technique for as long as it takes
To be ever awake
Unbroken awareness
God connectedness
