Re: [FairfieldLife] thoughts on samskaras and enlightenment - CC to UC

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

Samskaras are defined as "impressions."  They are the impressions that 
make up your personality.  There will some from your experiences during 
this lifetime and many believe there are also samskaras from prior 
lifetimes.  It is believed that bad samskaras can be dissolved through 
sadhana. This is why "saints" who are believed to be enlightened don't 
necessarily behave the same.  And even them some of are putting on "the 
show".

I was thinking more about Bhairitu's comment, and I googled 
'samskara', and got back mental or emotional pattern. So, the CC 
Maharishi refers to, is a state of enlightenment, with samskaras 
mostly intact. This is why he describes it as a state of inner 
silence, the individual feels enlightened, but this is not reflected 
in his environment; CC. The silence, or light, or whatever one calls 
the universal motive force, cannot be reflected in the environment, 
the "outside world", until the samskaras get illuminated, with further 
enlightenment. Then simply seen for what they are, these mental and 
emotional patterns, their solidity begins to dissolve, moving from 
impenetrable objects, to playthings. After the samskaras begin to get 
transparent, the silence or light appears to subjectively imbue and 
penetrate every experience, inside and out - the "outside world" is 
now enlightened, to a degree - oneness predominates, UC. A "bigger" 
state of enlightenment; the universal motive force is felt and seen 
everywhere, governing everything -
