--My understanding from Maharishi's teaching is that CC is enlightenment, because in CC one has transcended the ego, and is acting from the level of pure consciousness, in CC.
GC or God-Consciousness is developed through advanced techniques, and the TM-Siddhis, in that you become aware and experienced with the finest state or impulse of being. That is where God manifests at the finest level, the finest intention is where manifestation arises. Then you begin to see the remarkable quality of creation, and realize the perfection and the beauty of the creation, which is based in love and creativity, and extention of one's self. After this, one naturally begins to cognize beyond the finest relative, and realizes that pure-consciousness is all that there is; Brahman is all that there is; I am that, thou art that, everything is that. UC and Brahman is the same thing. He has said, that it is beneficial for the Master to verify the experience of UC, in that it can be disorienting at first, to be One with everything. - In [email protected], "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "jim_flanegin" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], TurquoiseB > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > wrote: > > > > > --- In [email protected], "feste37" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > wrote: > > > > > > I wish the Christians would stop saying that their way is > > > > > > better than anyone else's.
