1.3.3 lokas, 3.1 microvita

June 29, 1996

The least subtle microvita exist both in bhurloka and in bhuvarloka. Do you know why they are in both lokas? It is because they have both psychic and physical expressions. They exist not only in the psychic sphere but are traceable in the physical world should one have equipment of sufficient refinement. Therefore these psycho-physical microvitum have their resting place in bhuvarloka but their expression in bhurloka. Alright?  

  There is no physical space in bhuvarloka for bhuvarloka is the projection of the cosmic mind. In bhuvarloka the entire universe is projected as a mental expression but in bhurloka this mental expression becomes physical from the perspective of the created beings. So it is in bhurloka that the most crude type of microvita has its physical expression as I have already indicated. There is no physical expression in bhuvarloka.  

As I have said there is no physical expression in bhuvarloka. It is the mental expression of the cosmic mind. But the entire manifest universe is held in that mental expression so the five fundamental factors exist not as physical factors but as mental expressions of the cosmic mind. In bhurloka, they take the form of physical factors. Do you comprehend? From the perspective of the infinite entity this entire universe is an internal projection of his mind. It is a psychic projection. But in that psychic projection, when the created beings come to exist, they view his psychic projection as a physical universe external to themselves and this is bhurloka. So you see the cosmic mind will project the entire manifest universe as a mental projection. For the cosmic entity, it is all an internal mental projection created within his mind. But the same mental projection becomes, for the created beings, an externalized physical universe. It is at this stage that there are five physical factors. But in bhuvarloka they are mental projections.   

These most subtle type of microvita carry the projected waves of the cosmic entity which come directly from the cosmic nucleus and find expression in maharloka, the realm of potentiality. In janarloka and taparloka the subtle microvita rarely exist for you know, everything in this universe must have a base. The base of subtle microvita lies in the cosmic citta. They are expressed in the manifest universe so they must have a screen, a projected arena in which they may express. Even these subtle microvita must have this. In janarloka the screen or arena of projection in not developed. Its shadow of development or precursor condition exists in this loka but the arena of projection is not as yet manifest, even in potentiality. But knowledge does exist in janarloka, knowledge of the great. In this loka, the will to act, the awareness of the potentiality of action exists and so that is why, though the screen or arena of manifest expression is not yet developed, there is still some initiating wave of action and in this initiating wave there may be some psychic projection which might utilize some degree of subtle expression but it is yet of a different kind. It is of this most subtle form but of a different kind. The expression in this loka is of the ahamtattva and the awakening of knowledge of the capacity to create begins to stir the vibratory frequencies until in maharloka, they develop into an arena for the potential projection of manifestation and citta comes to exist.   In taparloka, there is only the sense of self existence so this I' feeling, this sense in the cosmic entity of its own existence is the base for the awakening of knowledge, the awareness of the capacity for action which exists in janarloka. So this sense of self is the base for the sense of action and both of these combined, this fully developed cosmic awareness, becomes the base for the development of the citta and the arena for activity or action. This then is the base for the various projections which occur. The most subtle microvitum form an initial base for the manifestation within the arena of cosmic projection. You know, upon the inferential waves the subtle microvita take movement and manifestation. They travel in the inferential waves of this manifest universe. Those inferential waves have their origin in janarloka but they take their first manifestation in maharloka and in that loka you will find the subtle microvita begin to traverse the waves but their origin is in janarloka and so in janarloka there is the initial resonance of the traversing of the inferential waves. But since they are not as yet manifest, citta does not exist, you will find it is a kind of shadow resonance, a resonance in potentiality and there is a traversing of the inferential waves by the most subtle microvita in a kind of shadow or echo of what will come to exist in janarloka as the realm of potentiality and most subtle manifestation within the arena of expression or cosmic citta. The microvitum have their base in citta and citta in ahamtattva and ahamtattva in mahatattva and mahatattva in the supreme cognition. Alright?  

This is a very good question. The kula kundalini, the fundamental negativity lies coiled at the base of the spine in muladhara cakra. When it rises, it traverses the length and breadth of this manifest universe to the supreme positivity or cosmic nucleus in sahasrara cakra. This process utilizes not microvita but attraction to the great. That is the fuel that propels consciousness, pulls consciousness through the stages of association back to the cosmic nucleus. Subtle microvita are utilized to express this pull within the mind of a living being. But the origin of this propulsion is not subtle microvita but the cosmic nucleus itself. It pulls consciousness towards itself and in the mind of a living being, a created being, it will utilize subtle microvita to express and even psychic microvita and ideas to express and on occasion it will utilize psycho-physical expression and manifestation. This is the draw of the great, manifesting. Kula kundalini is pulled upward by this all attracting force generated by the cosmic entity. She cannot help but dance with him sooner or later.

The three nadiis, ida, pingala and sushumna work in the physical body and in the psychic body. So they exist in bhu’rloka and in bhuvarhloka. They exist in two bodies, the psychic body and the physical body and they utilize microvitum as well as a subtle substance in the etheric realm. They are the conduits for prana.

Ida and pingala will conduct psycho-physical energies and modulate their directional flow. Sushumna has a physical, neurologic base but it exists primarily in the psychic sphere and conducts a non-physical substance. It conducts mind, mental activity and as it raises and goes through the propensities clustered in the energy formations in the different plexii, it will mutate to more and more subtle expressions. So what is conducted in sushumna is not microvita, it is mind at different stages of development until it is altogether consumed in consciousness alone.

Ida and pingala are regulatory nadiis, very important in the subtle system within the physical body or correlative to the physical body which reads the association between mind and body. These nadiis, this system of nadiis regulate the association of mind and physical structure. The ida and pingala will regulate the directional flow of mind in association with body. Is it perfectly clear?  

Mind is not composed of microvita, not unit mind. Cosmic mind utilizes subtle microvita for expression. Unit mind utilizes psychic microvita for expression of ideas but mind is not composed of microvita. It utilizes microvita for its manifestation or expression. Mind itself is the accumulated reactive momenta of past reactions held in potentiality. In order to express, it takes association with physical or subtle vehicles and in that expression it may utilize microvita but it is not composed of microvita. Microvita form the initial development of life force and life force is carried upon microvita. Unit mind is an outgrowth of association of life force with physical structure but it is composed not of microvita but of subtle mental fields associated with the kos’as.   

The microvitum travel in certain spheres. Negative microvitum cannot exist above manipura cakra. Only the subtle microvita will manifest above that point and positive and negative do not apply to subtle microvitum. They are unidirectional. They pull the living beings towards the cosmic nucleus. That is their only function.

But other microvitum have directional flow and so may be positive or negative, may be towards diversity and materialism or towards the supreme subjectivity. Depending upon the stratum of mind that is dominant in expression, you will find a dominance of different types of microvitum. When in vishuddha cakra the longing for the great is fully activated, you will find an all consuming passion of immense proportions in which all the other mental proclivities get consumed and the mind is shot forward out of its unit existence into its cosmic origins. Microvitum may facilitate this process but it is mind which is altered, which mutates, not microvitum. Do you understand? Mind is malleable and so due to the all attracting force of the cosmic expression, it mutates.  

  Endoplasmic coverage is the subtle development of subjective expression and utilizes microvitum as I have said. It is associated with ectoplasmic development or objectivity when it comes in association with the physical world through kamamaya kos’a in bhu’rloka. Alright?  

When the subtle microvita are developed, mind is already established. Mind comes to play from the development of the crudest microvita and its association with physical substance. As sattva guna gets expression and cosmic citta is freed from the bondage of tama guna, it becomes mind again. But it is bound by sattva and raja and associated in binding through microvita with physical atoms. Therefore mind remains bound to the physical substance. It does not get displaced back to the cosmic arena but remains bound by the microvitum.

Then when the physical atoms transmute, this bound mind and microvitum become disassociated and mind becomes bound to the psychic sphere. Because it has accumulated a trace in association with physicality, it remains bound. Again it associates and the trace grows in magnitude. There begins to be a kind of mini mind within the cosmic mind. This forms a created being, for this mini mind is associated with Purus'a but has an experience of being bound. Purus'a appears to be bound also from the perspective of the mini mind. So it has a bound or limited self awareness, "I exist and around me is an externalized universe I call the physical world." This is the perspective of the bound mind or mini mind, qualified in association with microvitum and physical substance. Alright?  

It is a shadow which is developed upon the atom. When the bondages of tama guna become released and there is the entrance of sattva guna and more subtle mind is freed from the bondage, the constrictions of tama guna but remains in association with the constricted substance or physicality, there is the development of microvitum. That microvitum is the shell or form which mind manifests is and as mind grows in magnitude, the form it takes will become more subtle, will become psychic, ideas. You see? So mind takes form in association with microvitum and is bound within this association. That is why it is unit mind or gains a sense of individualized or separate existence because it exists in association with microvitum. That is its shell. Initially associated with atomic structure it gains complexity in form, magnitude and expression as it develops. So soon there is protozoa, then there is a fish in the pond and then a frog and a toad and next a dog and soon its self awareness grows to such a degree it must have a human body to manifest the complexity of its development. Then over time, physical bodies are not sufficient to manifest its complexity and it must take subtle form or lose its self altogether in its cosmic progenitor.  

Metazoic minds are those which function in the subtle stratum. Protozoic minds function only in a rudimentary fashion. Now I cannot continue. I will resume this discourse at another time.    

It may be said that the movement from the supreme, unqualified Purus'a to the manifestation of the five fundamental factors that occurs in saincara, is a movement from the fundamental positivity to the fundamental negativity and vice versa in pratisaincara from the fundamental negativity to the fundamental positivity of supreme cognition. But it may not be said that this is a movement of energy. It is a movement of mind. It is transmutation of mind and the transmutation of consciousness that is bound in mind.

So this is a process of transmutation of consciousness and mind. It is not a process of the movement of energy. At particular stages in this transmutation process, one may call the substance which has origin, energy. There is physical energy and life force energy. They are two different types of energy and they exist in different stages of this transmutative process. But what is transformed due to the energy? It is mind that is transformed, cosmic mind. So you see, this movement from the fundamental positivity to the fundamental negativity is a transmutation of mind and what is this cosmic mind composed of? It is composed of qualified cognition. It is Parama Purus'a in varying degrees of qualification bound by Prakrti. So you see, there is only one substance, though it appears to be many different substances. Even the cosmic mind which is transmuted into all of the manifest universe and into the living beings of the universe is nothing but qualified cognition. It is the supreme Purus'a, the supreme conscious existence, qualified and mutated by Prakrti and her operative principles. So you see, what moves in this universe is mind, not energy. At one stage you may call it energy, at another you may call it matter, at another you may call it subtle mind. So you cannot say it is energy, but it is mind. Mind moves from a position of fundamental positivity in which it is completely absorbed into its primal state of pure cognition and then it moves from the fundamental positivity though the cycle of evolution to the state of fundamental negativity where you may say it is completely bound in matter. Then again it moves to the state of fundamental positivity. This is the cycle of brahmacakra.  

Now, the kula kundalini exists within the human body. This advancement of consciousness takes place through the operation of a proper physical structure until such a time as mind and consciousness do not require physical structure. That movement within a physical body is the movement of kula kundalini from the fundamental negativity to the fundamental positivity and in this, the consciousness bound in a created being, the mind stuff bound in a created being, moves from the fundamental negativity in association with material existence to the fundamental positivity freed from all material associations. It gets again lost in the supreme Purus'a. So this movement that takes place within the physical structure of a created being is the movement of the kula kundalinii. Do you understand? The kula kundalinii resides at the base of the spine a human body. In order to have a kundalinii, there must be certain physiological developments in the structure which the living beings is inhabiting. If those are not there, if there is no spinal column, then there can be no kundalinii. So when this movement from the fundamental negativity to the fundamental positivity is expressed in the body and mind of a created being, the vehicle for that movement is the kundalinii. But the movement itself is the transformation of consciousness bound in mind and associated with matter. The kundalinii is the vehicle for the transmutation, for mind is associated with matter through the interface of the subtle energy systems expressed through the nadiis and joined in the sleeping serpentine energies coiled at the base of the spine. The plexii and cakras serve as energy centers for the expression and development of the propensities and have direct interface with the physical structure so that these propensities develop expression in the material universe or bhu’rloka. Alright, I think it is clear?  

Mind is expressed in the form of ideas, thoughts and feelings. These are carried through the second stage microvitum. So it is not that mind has a separate body, but that it manifests in these psycho-physical and psychic waves. The cosmic mind and mind of unit entities associated with very subtle spheres will use the more subtle microvitum and on rare occasions the psychic and psychophysical microvitum also may be used by the cosmic mind. So mind does not have a microvitum body but it manifests its expression through the signature of microvitum.
