Tom, samyama is not merely holding a goal, but the
perfect awake focus on that one thing. Since all things are in everything
therefore all things can be known by one thing. Some blowback might come from
the focus on time, but that's not samyama nor is it a sutra. Moreover, one
will get all sidhis from any one sidhi because they are all latencies of PC, so
for example in the case of inner light, one would already have all
discriminating wisdom and enlightenment as well, or have you forgotten your
abcs? The final vibhuti pada sutras are obviously about the goal of
kaivalya, turiya, or what I prefer to humanize by calling awakening. Even
demons in hell can awaken to CC. I know because it was my acid trips both
good and bad that woke me up when I was a kid, to CC. The bad experiences
were so horrific that my mind stepped back and witnessed them. That's why
you have this poking, prodding pashu here peering over the fence now and
shouting silly things. On the other hand, those bad trips were a strong
motivator to try to better karma and not be evil. Simply as strong a motivator
as anything.
What's that have to do with sutras? Because
it's all about life. Even Guru Dev couldn't escape the karma of the world and
nor can you or anyone else. The kama sutra is the best one anyway
;)

Vaj:
I understand what you are saying. It would
be helpful to know the
number of the post to specifically comment on that
one. Understand
though, that samkhya and the yoga-sutras--and "awakening"
a la the
yoga-sutra is a dualistic awakening. That is, it deals with
CC/turiyatita.
That's not to say jumping into any other state couldn't
happen, of
course anything is *possible*. It's just that the intent of the
yoga-sutra, of which the TM-Sidhi program represents a watered down
version, is to provide a samkhya-style realization: turiyatita. In
effect you are saying MMY has distorted the tradition to fool us using
our ahamkara/egos as "carrots"?
Tom T: Stealth Sutra details:
On
the other hand if we look at the last and final sutra in chapter
3
(Expansion) we arrive at sutra 52 which states "From Sanyama
on
moments and their succession, the finest discriminative knowledge
is
born.
Sutra 53. "This enables us to distinguish between two objects
that are
to all appearances identical.
Sutra 54: Knowledge born of the
finest discrimination takes us to the
farthest shore.
Sutra 55: And when
the translucent intellect is as pure as the Self,
there is
Enlightenment.
Look at 52 through 55 and this is the only place it says
that any
sutra produces the Big E. All the other sutras are for practice
and
for the sidhi disclosed. The last sutra says Big E is the result
of
this sutra 52.
Actually sutra 52 was installed at the time we all
learned the sidhis.
We were beat over the head with the necessity to do a
certain number
of reps in a bound amount of time. MMY gave you sutra 52 to
practice
without telling you so. There is a part of every mind that
can track
time no matter what and if you don't think so remember all the
time
you ended your meditation at exactly 20 mins. The instruction to do
a
finite number of reps in a certain time while you were doing the
sidhi
prescribed was to do #52 in total innocence. So you have been
doing
this practice as prescribed by MMY with out knowing it. Best
way to
hide something is right under your nose in plain sight. Enjoy
PS:
This is not experienced as a watered down version of the Big E so
I would
like to know if that is your personal experience or from some
text and if
the latter can you quote chapter and verse.
