To Light

1. In the White Light
Here the meditator goes into a realm where there is a brilliant white light pervading everywhere. He has consciousness of himself and the White Light, and nothing else. He is not aware of his body, mind or the world. Only two things remain - his awareness and the white light. It's a duality.

2. In the Dark Inner Space
Next, from the realm of the white light the experiencer moves into another realm where there is what we call the Dark Inner Space pervading everywhere. It looks like the physical outer space above the stratosphere but this is inner, within us, and it is dark. The meditator has consciousness of himself and this Dark Inner Space and experiences deep peacefullness. He is not aware of his body, mind or the world. Only two things remain - his awareness and the dark endless space. It's a duality.

3. In the Golden Light
Next, the experiencer moves from the realm of the dark inner space into another realm where a yellow-golden light is experienced. It is not really a 'move' from one realm into another but rather the realm of the dark inner space transforms into this Golden Light pervading everywhere. It is formless form. The meditator has consciousness of himself and this Golden Light. He is not aware of his body, mind or the world. All these things cease to exist. Only two things remain - his awareness and the golden light. Its a duality.

4. Entering the Golden Light
Next, the experiencer 'moves' from merely being aware of the golden light to entering it, or, becoming the golden light. This is a transition phase, where the consciousness of the experiencer merges into the golden light. He is only aware of the merging.

5. Becoming the Golden Light
Next, the transition is complete, and the experiencer has become the Golden Light. He is the Golden Light. He has lost awareness of his own personal consciousness. There is no duality. Only One Thing exists in this realm. The experiencer sees himself as All, has all knowledge and bliss, but no power.

6. Entering the Nothing
Next, the experiencer as the Golden Light, moves or transforms, into The Nothingness. There is no duality. He is only aware of himself as the golden light entering another dimension and becoming The Nothing. This is another transition phase really.

7. Becoming the Unknown
Next, the experiencer 'moves' from experiencing The Nothing to merging into the Nothing and becoming what we call as The Unknown. Nothing is describable in this state. It cannot be said if anything exists or does not exists.

State 6 and 7 is what we term as parashiva, parabrahman, atattva (beyond the 36 tattvas). Buddhists call state 6 as nirvana. The relationship cannot be described, (if there is one, that is) except as not two.

State 3, 4 and 5 is what we term as satchitananda, parashakti, Shiva or Saguna Brahman, tattva 1 and 2. Oneness and twoness is experienced here.

How do we know if this was made up or a fake. Check any veda, upanishad or agama and you will not find any such knowledge there. Only living jivanmuktas can describe all these stages with such clarity, precision and exactitude. It cannot be corroborated otherwise ...
only you Self.
