i may get whose-who confused here but the intents the same.
Peter S. wrote [[I've also experienced soma flowing/spraying into the environment through the senses. Almost like the sense was working in reverse.]] i think this was Mark [[Instead of consciousness "flowing out," as it were, to the objects of the senses, it was soma flowing out? Soma as reified consciousness?]] Patrick wrote [[I had to wonder if there's an active component to the senses, as opposed to the passive way we typically think of senses working. Any insights on sense perception from those who've read somethign or have had an experience?]] back to Peter S. [[I 've always understood and experienced, to some degree, soma as the movement of consciousness or as you put it, reified consciousness. It seems to be the most refined or subtle aspect of the senses in experiencing objects. It produces overwhelming bliss when the "I" sense created through identification begins to shift towards subtler/sattvic bondage.]] ** when i read all of the above, in essense i 'read': nadi(s). i see them rather like a sea anemone, that lovely flower of the sea, the sea urchin with its remarkably fluid tentacles swaying to rhythms unseen. these are our nadis, "conduits" of the subtle inner body that move inward & outward leaning to & fro reaching & contracting to rhythms unseen. we all feel this in varying degrees, like when you feel attracted or repulsed upon meeting someone or in a certain location. some people can see its colorful auric lights whose colors are never static but varied & fluid ever reaching outwards, channeling inwards, connecting always to our surroundings, connecting to our chakras, connecting .. linking .. exchanging. when Peter wrote [flowy/spraying] i knew exactly what he meant / experienced in that i know & have experienced the same (or at least, this is my understanding of what he is conveying). the nadis are [rarified consciousness] as Mark asked (i think it was Mark), & they are part of the senses & the organs of senses & other things as well so can be measured (as Patrick asked about). the are the "rivers" & "currents" that ever flow to the greater sea. om peace!.. rudrani To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
