0835 Section 6.2, Chapter 94(continued) Yoga Vasistha

Vasistha is roaming in the world of the Siddhas. Rama asks Vasistha about the nature of his body since his physical body had been destroyed. He wants to know how real Vasistha's experience was. Was it simply Vasistha's imagination in which case it wasn't real?

We have a strong survival mechanism for deciding what is real and unreal but this has to be overriden when pursuing self-inquiry.

Of course, this isn't Vasistha's imagination. It's ours! Vasistha's reality is imaginary.

Vasistha had a 'spatial' body when he was in the city of Indra.

Sankalpa, a notion with momentum.

Vasistha was invisible to those around him.

Astral body.

The reality of astral experience. William Buhlman, Oliver Fox, Robert Munroe.

Dream experience.

Imagination does not mean 'false'.

Move between the consensual conventional reality and the reality of the imagination.

Rama wonders how the sage in outer space saw Vasistha. It was by Vasistha's wish.

The ativahika body, the body of our fundamental tendencies, being able to experience your imagination first-hand.

The phenomenon of dreaming has huge implications for our understanding of reality.

The division of real and unreal needs to be weakened. Psychic transparency.

William Blake.

Ghosts represent the borderline between imagination and what we regard as reality.
