What is the connection between Reflected Consciousness and Real Consciousness? 

Wow, great Hope other Christians will interpret Bible with Vedanta as base

@@sumitdutta7043 Bad idea. it can lead to digestion of Vedanta metaphysics (absorb what suits and ignore what does not). Unless Christians come out of their monotheisitc understanding of so called "god" it is impossible for them to find the truth.

@@indianmilitarythat’s why I Love Kabbalah/Qabbalah

Yes, Even Jesus said Me and father are one. Me(mind, individual self) father(Aatman). Truth is same they say it differently, some say it in a very esoteric way. Mansoor said un-al haq "I am the Truth".

@@rognex I’m where it’s Atman😁

But samadhi state (cosmic experience ) does not mean you are not already that in the wake state (limited experience). TAT TVAM ASI. Consciousness is not just limited to "mind". What is consciousness? Consciousness is an attribute of immanent (Athma), omnipresent and transcendent (Brahman) just like heat is an attribute of fire and the sun. Conscious field pervades both animate and inanimate like a silk thread which passes through different pearls in a necklace. Conscious field is the reason why duality cycles of nature happen and it is also the reason why there is consciousness within the psycho/physical body. But in Abrahamic religions there is no connection between consciousness and soul.

I agree. I see everything and its function, an awareness of awareness in everything, this saguna Brahman and at the Pinnacle of sight I come to the nirguna Brahman which is cause only. In 2021 I started studying Vedanta, this is such an eye opening experience, much mahalo for your reply.....

Without the conscious field nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles of nature can happen (including young/old or birth/decay duality). It also means, consciousness is not limited to just mind.

There is only one life, cherish it

Sure. Keep your manas calm 24/7. The more you keep it, the more you can experience the cosmos in the form of "PASHYANTHI - thought-image" and MADHYAMA - thought sound in so called "choiceless awareness" state. But having said that it is not the only pathway to remove karma (the primary reason for having both self knowledge and experience or oneness with the cosmos). There is Karma yoga (inaction in action) which is perfectly in sync with impassive and non doer state of the conscious self. For beginners and those who are leading a wordly life both knowledge of the self and karma yoga are very important.

What ji Krishnamurti calls "choiceless awareness" is the exact definition of Sakshi (साक्षि ) in Advaita Vedant. There the Sakshi is defined as "udaasinatve sati Boddhaa". ( उदासिनत्वे सति बोध्दा )This means that the Sakshi is the knower or only awareness but is neutral just like a witness dissociated from the surroundings.This is choicelessness of the awareness.Sakshi doesn't choose what it perceives as favourable अनुकूल or unfavourable प्रतिकूल and remains unperturbed उदासिन by the events around it.

@@indianmilitary Thank you Sir for your concise explanation. I will need to better understand the concepts that you have alluded to for a proper assimilation.

There is an allegorical story in Mahabharatha which explains space time dilation (copied later by Einstein) . eg King Kakudmi visiting Brahmalokha with his daughter Revathi and staying their for just 20 min. When he returned he could not find any of his family and relatives, the sons and grandsons-and there was NO record of the family tree. An example of Maya of time. Point is Consciousness is not just limited to "mind". What is consciousness? Consciousness is an attribute of immanent (Athma), omnipresent and transcendent (Brahman) just like heat is an attribute of fire and the sun. Conscious field pervades both animate and inanimate like a silk thread which passes through different pearls in a necklace. Conscious field is the reason why duality cycles of nature happen and it is also the reason why there is consciousness within the psycho/physical body. But in Abrahamic religions there is no connection between consciousness and soul. Unfortunately some Advaitha followers wrongly interpret Maya as the "illusion" through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe. Maya is just another name for Shakhti which is the 'creative" shakhti of Brahman. It is absolutely real, so is our material realm. In the same way Mithya also does not mean false. Mithya means temporary existence. eg TASKS in your office may be temporary but you have to fnish them. The subject/object split perception in the wake state may be temporary but it does not mean false.

​@@indianmilitary Rightly said 👍🏼🙏🏼

Watching too many hollywood movies? 😂😂

One is not affected by "Chidabhasa" in Turiya when he or she transcends both 5 senses and individual Ahamkara (which limits sense of "I" to just individual manas and body). Avatars are in this state 24/7. it is the reason why they are called Jivan Mukth. Adi-Shankara was also a Jiven Mukth. They can read past/present/futture of everything in the cosmos in the form of Pashyanthi (thought image) and MADHYAMA (thought sound) But this is only for advanced practitioners. For beginners and those who are leading a worldly life, knowledge of self is very important to practice Karma yoga. The only primary purpose of reaching Samadhi is for the removal of past karma or Chitta Shuddhi. But one should also make sure that they don't create new karma by following Karma yoga (inaction in action) which is pefectly in sync with impassive and non doer state of the conscious and omnipresent self.

Swami don't even read the comments. Go and ask Swami at Newyork.

@@sumitdutta7043 How do you know Swami doesnt read comments? Is he so busy making up woo-woo that he has no time to read anything else😁?

​​@@JohnSmith-sl6egwell he never replied anyone, even the questions which come to him via email were selected and arranged 1st to avoid repetition etc by other members then asked in the session. No Swami unlike you don't do woo woo he has a packed schedule. I don't since when you are watching Swami, but it doesn't seems much long otherwise you wouldn't have said such thing because Swami literally read a lot, a lots of books secular books too.

@@sumitdutta7043 Hello, still waiting for evidence.

Reminds me the quantum physicists who labelled Deepak Chopra as Woo Woo. Your assertion that without evidence anything is woo woo is an ideological position too. Imagine in a classroom of 50 students a thief comes and steals a book. Do you think all the students will interpret the phenomenon in the same way? Or there will be multiple versions of the same truth? There you have it : The evidence depends on subjective interpretation.
