Robin Carlsen's guide to his mechanics of consciousness and those of
the Mahrishi Mahesh, Yogi.
GLOSSARY
ABSOLUTE ‑ the fundamental substratum of all existence, Being, pure
consciousness, the source of all life, the "home of all the laws of
Nature". Meditation is to contact this field of non‑change and
stabilize It in one's awareness until the point of Enlighten ment,
when one's Self is known to be the Absolute.
ABSOLUTE BODY ‑ evolutionary possibility held out by Maharishi to all
human beings, the transformation of the gross physical body into
particles of light, into the substance of immortality: Being.
Enlightenment is the realization of the Self, the establishment of
unbounded awareness, the merging of the ego into the unmanifest.
However the karma of the body means the outer sheath that encloses
consciousness is still relative, i.e., subject to time and space, a
phenomenal form. Once pure consciousness is an all‑time reality,
rapid purifi cation begins to take place on the level of the
physiology (evolution being invincible, the body becomes the only
aspect of the individual not vibrating on the level of pure Being)
particularly if the enlightened individual continues to meditate.
Maharishi has compared this process of physical metamorphosis to the
substitution of a body made of glass for one made of clay. Knowing
that such a possibility exists the enlightened individual will
continue the spiritual practice that first brought him to
Enlightenment. Obtaining an Absolute Body is the ultimate perfection
of human evolution.
ASPECTING ‑ the act of expressing only one side of oneself, and thus
ignoring the totality of what one is, in order to deal most
effectively with an individual whose problem demands that 'aspecting'.
Usually aspecting refers to the Enlightened individual whose dharma is
to take a form of personality which maximizes the evolution of another
individual. This 'aspecting' is done automatically by Nature; the
Enlightened individual is played a specific way to bring about a
particular effect with the personal environment. Not all enlightened
individuals are 'aspected' since they usually act in a completely
cosmic manner, ignoring the intricate play of The Personal.
COMPENSATION ‑ the act of assuming a certain quality of behaviour or
mode in order to balance an opposite form of behaviour within another
individual. It is a sort of compromise of the integrity of one's
personality but a necessary one in order to draw out the most
evolutionary effect in a given interpersonal situation.
CONFRONTATION - the act of opposing the demonic within another
individual. In its purest form it is the clashing of Creative
Intelligence with anti‑creative intelli gence (discussed in detail in
the letter Cosmic Personal).
CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE ‑ the Intelligence which upholds evolution,
guides the destiny of all life, and moves matter towards perfection
culminating in Enlightenment.
DEMON/DEMONIC ‑ the entities within all of us that act to perpetuate
our separateness from God, that reinforce the sense of duality, that
oppose the force of evolution, particularly within The Personal.
Someone who is 'demonic' is at that time under the influence of
anti‑creative intelligence and not his or her own pure nature.
DHARMA - duty that is supported by Nature; i.e., an activity that
accords with the laws of Nature and represents the specific form of
work that has been divinely ordained for an individual. Dharma can
only be perfect after Enlightenment since before that time an
individual and universal intelligence are not yet merged.
DIVINE - the quality which is innocent and unconditioned within one;
the essence of what we really are, both in a personal and impersonal
sense. A divine impulse is opposite to a demonic one and commands the
whole support of Nature.
ENLIGHTENMENT - the state of human life in which one experiences the
'I' to be unmanifest, the ego to be the perfect individuation of the
cosmic ego. It is an unbroken continuum of pure consciousness, love
and fulfillment; a point at which one realizes the true identity of
one's Self as being the Absolute, the relative sense of oneself as the
expression of the Personal God (the finest fluctuation of the
Absolute). Yet within this state of freedom and bliss one still
retains the memory of an individuality that preceded that final
illumination and thus one can appreciate the profound Grace and Love
which has made such a miracle.
