[FairfieldLife] Dualistic traditions

[Vaj]

>From the "official" TMO trans. of the Yoga Sutra by Alistair Shearer: "Cosmic Consciousness is described in the literature of yoga as jivanmukti ("liberation in life"). It's structure is explained by Sankhya [a dualistic system] and achieved through the practical teachings and techniques of yoga [also dualistic]. The Yoga Sutras is the principle manual and teaching text of this essential stage of Enlightenment. The experience of Cosmic Consciousness is the source of many dualistic teachings in the great spiritual traditions, those confessions that emphasize the separation of spirit and matter and extol the majesty of inner freedom over and above the unsatifactory nature of the outside world. For jivanmukti is indeed eternal freedom, but it is freedom on the basis of a radical duality--Self and other--it is not yet the glory of full Enlightenment."
