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 20-August-2020
