  1. The Burden of Proof Lecture III • Housekeeping • Lec PPT • What Dreams May Come (contd).

  2. Surviving the Storm

  3. The Five Koshas • Sheaths / Layers • Divisions of consciousness • One in all

  4. Annamaya • Physical Body • Biology • Keeps us separate by the (illusion we must compete with others who are isolated bodies) • Brings us closer to wholeness (through cooperation, community, shared ideas, etc).

  5. Pranamaya (subtle breath / life force) • Binding force keeps nature together • Flowing intelligence (the oneeco-system) • Keeps us separate through imbalance (disrupted ecosystem, pollution, over-crowding) • Brings us closer to wholeness (kinship with other living things, empathy, compassion)

  6. Manomaya • Mind (you know who you are by the way you think) • Ideas, thoughts, emotions, sensations memories • Separates us when (through divisive beliefs in politics, religion, mental boundaries of fear and hatred) • Brings us closer to wholeness (through shared beliefs in conditioning, religion, received opinions, connection to others, love)

  7. Vigyanmaya (ego / intellect) • Identity (level of identity dominated by “me” and “mine”) • Ego brings identity into being (mind and ego often do battle) • This is the level of the archetypes • Separates us when “us versus them” (personal alienation, loneliness, addiction, repressed emotions) • Brings us closer to wholeness (through sense of one humanity, heroic quests, need for self respect, dignity, and inner worth)

  8. Anandamaya (body of bliss) • Hum of the universe / basic vibration • Afterlife no need for body (possible to see thru illusion of body before death) • If we can do this more and more - we learn to just enjoy being • No separation • Wholeness is revealed (through love, joy, and ecstasy >> where separation no longer holds any attraction) • “You” dissolve into PURE BEING - without an experiencer

  9. What does this all mean? • Home in Consciousness • Our awareness began in pure consciousness, and as we travelled into this life layer by layer through different dimensions, each one gave us a new sense of self. • But we possess an entire self-system. • Thus, when we connect with all of these layers, we can bring about profound shift in our awareness. • This brings us to basic trust!

  10. Guides and Messengers

  11. Projection • Projection: What is it? • Projection is our world is it not?

  12. Rishi’s and Projection • “Projection is the mechanism by which consciousness creates reality”. • “Everything that is real at one level of consciousness is unreal at another” • If we want to make angels we must project them. • Projections affect all levels of the Kosha’s

  13. One eye: One god... • Three - in one rule - of consciousness • Seer, seen, or processor of seing - YOU occupy all of them • Paradox - god is the creater and the creation • “Observer effect” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcT8YLE-zM4&feature=related

  14. Projection, Angels, and the Devata Effect • Mystery of creation lies in the • Gap... • Between the observer and the observed

  15. Lets What’s the Devata Effect in Action.... Angels

  16. The Dream Continues

  17. Reincarnation • Window of time “remembrance” (start remembering at 2 stops around 7 or 8) • Spontaneous remembering • Previous death 15 months prior to new birth • Memories blend and become absorbed • Identities reshape between lifetimes • 70% of personalities die of unnatural causes /violent sudden deaths • A good percentage showed longing for previous family • 35% of persons who died violently - new personality had phobia related to type of death • Cases are being found all over the world • More recent research has found 200 hundred cases where cause of death is biologically or physically apparent in the new personality

  18. So What is Reincarnation? • A recycling soul progression and evolution • Creative leap • Nature depends on mechanism of rebirth • Maybe it’s abnormal to not remember?

  19. Reincarnation: Academia and Scepticism?

  20. Reincarnation: Jim Tucker

  21. Summing Up:From this lifetime to the next • We don’t yet have enough consciousness... The gaps of ignorance of our full potential are too large, and whatever the gap claims turns into the unconscious... • Chopra, p. 182
