THE MAP OF INDIVIDUAL HUMAN LIFE & CONSCIOUSNESS: koosradha

As human beings, we are unit representatives of the human race, with a dominant
sexual identity and certain dominant traits that we have inherited from our prior life,
that is, as the fused gametes in the intra-uterine matrix.

We are born out of the fusion of two living gametes in the womb of a biological
mother, which has sustained and nourished the new life-animated unit human
organism. At the moment of fusion, an individual seat of undivided life is triggered,
which preserves, permeates and permits the new emerging organism to prepare
itself in a protected living environment or matrix before being projected into the
outer field of existence and experience. Once delivered to the outside field of
existence, the life-breath is triggered by the seat of life hidden at the deepest core of
the living organism and the unit becomes an autonomous alive unit, which is still
dependent on the immediate environment for its survival and further growth.

As long as the individual seat of undivided life (s-o-u-l), which is a very subtle core
state of energy, is active and operative, the organism is preserved and continues to
live and grow as a unit organism. If, for any serious reason, the seat of undivided
life becomes inoperative and is completely and irremediably switched off, death of
the individual organism ensures. It can no more function as an autonomous living
individual seat as the unit preserving force is no longer active. The organism then is
de-structured and the seat of experience and consciousness becomes inoperative in
that organism. Thus the individual seat of undivided life is also the individual seat
of death for any unit of life, matter and consciousness. As its energy expands
outwards, it exudes a sense of aliveness and as its energy withdraws towards the
unconscious realms, it exudes a sense of absence and death. This seat has been
called the core as well as the root of individual consciousness. It is grounded in
THAT which has been described only in terms of what it is not: timeless, boundless,
non-dual, deathless, birthless, changeless, etc.
As the life-sustained unit organism grows and develops, it experiences, through its
functional bodily instruments and mental faculties and abilities, knowable objects of
experience, events, entities, emotions, sensations and eventually thoughts in its field
of experience, which has inner and outer dimensions. Gradually, a seat of
experience emerges, which processes all experiencing occurring to and through the
living organism, operating in its inner and outer fields. This seat of experience
processing generates in consciousness (knowledge) the operative sense of being an
individual, an ego, which comes into being when the individual person relates and
communicates to other individual units and to different aspects of itself.

This ego sense or thought is in fact the essence of the personal consciousness of the
individual and it is made up of a flow into the now of accumulated subconscious
personal memories synthesised in the form of words and images. The ego is nothing
but a pale reflection (shadow) of the individual seat of undivided life dimly
apprehended by the dissipated mental attention during the wakeful state. Being a
product of subconscious materials, ego-thought is a mechanical self-communication
factor interfering with attention and direct experiencing. Believing itself to be the
seat of individual life, the ego-centre makes ‘as if’ all of the individual’s
experiences happen through its agency and ‘as if’ all of the experiences happens to
it. Ego is the sense of identification with the body-mind complex sustained by
hidden the seat of life and it appropriates all experiences through inner talking out.
It functions at a very crude level of consciousness in that it is concerned with the
body-mind-complex’s personal protection, pleasure, power, profit, progress and
prosperity. It focuses on its personal continuity, gratification and expansion and
separates itself from everything not connected with the individual body-mind-
complex and with its areas of personal concern.

In actuality, the real “experiencer” (so to say) is the seat of undivided life sustaining
the body-mind complex. This seat of life and death, through its core connection and
association with the body-mind complex, undergoes the experience of the wakeful
state, of the dream state and of the deep sleep state. During the wakeful state, the
seat, which is total aliveness, triggers attention in consciousness, through which
experiencing occurs and the operative unit acts, interacts and reacts in the external
field. During the dream state, it withdraws consciousness from the externalised
field into the inner realm; it triggers semi-conscious attention and permits the active
discharge of dominant accumulated past materials. During deep sleep or absorption
state, where it absorbs residual mental attention into unconsciousness or absence, it
triggers the passive recharging and healing of the organism. As the seat of life is
much closer to the deeper unconscious state of the mind, the regenerating effects of
its underlying presence is greater at that level.

In the normal wakeful state, owing to the activity of thought and ego, there is only
partial attention. In both the dream and deep sleep state, the individual seat of
undivided life underlying the individual unit of life and consciousness, is devoid of
the all-revealing light of attention through which it reflects itself in consciousness.
The ego-thought, being a factor of inattention and interference, cannot operate in
the field of full attention despite being manifest at the wakeful state of experiencing
and thus cannot apprehend or comprehend the hidden underlying seat of undivided
life. Thus only the energy of full attention can connect to that hidden root, which is
both life and death.

This energy of full attention comes into being when the mind is totally alert in the
present moment, without the need or drive to move away from the ceaseless flow of
pure experiencing. This anchoring in the now with full undivided attention is called
meditation. Through meditation, the attention of the alert and sensitive mind
expands into the realms of dreaming and deep sleep towards the seat of aliveness
and awareness. Sinking into the deeper realms is akin to dying and may trigger the
fear of death in that movement. However, letting go and silently surrendering to the
core brings one to a new dimension beyond death. Consciousness is no longer
divided into conscious, subconscious and unconscious realms, into living and dead.
It is a whole, integrated, undivided field of aliveness and awareness. However, just
like the mind cannot live for ever in the wakeful, dream or deep sleep, it has to
move out of the super-conscious witnessing aliveness into the normal wakeful plane
of existence.

Nonetheless, the connection with and the vision of the seat of undivided life are
now more prominent in consciousness and the ego is pushed into its real subsidiary
role and place as a mere communication tool. A new sense of lightfulness,
lifefulness and delightfulness permeates the mind during the wakeful state. Even
during the dream state, there may be moments of attention. One feels the joy of
being alive and of experiencing as an extraordinary gift of life. There is a continual
celebration of aliveness and awareness.
Keys:

A : The Unborn Imperishable Ground of Undivided Life, the Absolute

B : The Individual Seat Of Undivided Life (The realm of life and death; the
doorway of being and non-being; the seat of sustenance; the entry and exit point of
individuality. The sense of being, the feeling of I AM, the core or root of
individuality rooted into the Ground.)
C : The Unconscious state of consciousness (deep sleep, absorption, absence,
unconsciousness; the passive recharging and healing of the organism; death: eternal
sleep, irremediable absence.)

D : The Subconscious state of consciousness (inner realm of dreaming, no

identification with a particular body-mind complex; no dominant sense of ego;
subconscious fluctuating residual attention, active discharge of dominant
accumulated past experiences of sensations, objects, events, entities, emotions and
thoughts or ideas through stories and scenarios.)

E : The Conscious state of consciousness (the wakeful consciousness and

experiencing of inner and outer fields of experience; a sense of partial and
fluctuating conscious attention to the objects, sensations, events, entities, emotions
and thoughts through the active and interactive operations of the functional sensory
organs and the seat of consciousness made up of the mind, intellect, ego, impulse,
emotion, culture, memory, etc.)

F : The self-conscious identity or centre (the ego rooted in the flow of past
accumulated experiences; the dominant thought triggering other peripheral thoughts
and feelings; the restrictive and separative sense of being a body-mind complex
acting in isolation from the rest of existence; the shadow emerging from the
subconscious realm and sucking attention into its own sphere of concern; the
appropriator, the usurpator.)

G : The Brain and its connection to the individual body, breath, states of
consciousness and the seat of undivided life.

H : The visible Body containing the brain, the seat of consciousness, the
instruments of experience, and the seat of undivided life.

I : The Breath (incoming and outgoing) connecting the body and brain with the
individual seat of undivided life. The breath is rooted in the seat of life.

J : The functional Instruments of experiencing and acting (the functional sense

organs such as the eyes, the ears, the nose, the tongue and the skin as well as the
functional organs of action such as the hands, the feet, the mouth, the genitals, the
anus, etc.)

K : The externalised Field of wakeful experience, made up of objects (natural,

thought-made), events (natural, social), entities (biological units of the different
species), sensations (bodily), emotions (needs, impulses, feelings, reactions),
thoughts (ideas, concepts, beliefs), and actions and interactions functioning with the
parameters of time and space.
L : Inner and outer fields interactions (day-dreaming, inner-mind chattering,
self-talking, mental background processing interfering with actual experiencing.)

M : Inner Field of dreamful subconscious experiencing with its dream objects,

space, time, events, thoughts, feelings, impulses, entities, actions, interactions, etc.

N : Hidden, Unconscious Field of sleep with no subject-object relationship, with

no action, no sensation, no-thing, no-one; darkness, absence with the possibility of
coming back from the state and recalling having been in that state.

O : Hidden, Latent Field of Aliveness, of Being when there is the possibility of

coming back from the field, and of Death, of non-being when there is no possibility
of coming back from that station or dimension. This centre is rooted into the
Ground of everything, which is the Absolute, beyond being and non-being.

P : The realms of perishability resting on the Imperishable Ground.

MEDITATION: A process of going deeper into consciousness and sinking into the
seat of undivided life, at the root of our being.

Level 1. Meditation, through conscious relaxation, letting go and turning attention

on the immediate experiencing, is a process of attending to the body, bodily
sensations and breath movements in the herenow.

Level 2. At a deeper level, attention gradually moves from the conscious outgoing
consciousness of things, events, entities, sensations, etc to the deeper inner layers.
As attention moves from the body, bodily sensations, breath movements into the
awareness of thoughts, feelings, inner chatterings, one feels an absorption into a
new inner space of expansion, of wellbeing and presence.

Level 3. Sinking deeper still, with as much attention as possible without being
overpowered by sleep, one is absorbed into a boundless space of emptiness, of non-
existence, of temporary death.

Level 4. Letting one’s attention sink deeper still, one reaches a new dimension of
being, of aliveness, of a refreshing awareness of boundless being, beyond death,
beyond personal boundaries, beyond concepts of separateness. This is the root of
our being, of our real, deeper self, which is always anchored into the Ground of
existence, of manifestation, of anything, of everything and of nothing.
