Subject: The Sutra teaching about OM as it relates to Christian and Jewish prophecy

We know from the Mandukya Upanishad that we have an 8-step meditation
on AUM or OM, the Vedantic Name of God composed of the vowels A, U, M[ M is
a vowel in Sanskrit] broken up into two parts, the first time around the
four padas or feet[Salvation], and the second time around [Redemption].

This Name of God has to be thought of somewhat differently [in
terms of the dimensions of its expression in us and the letters used] than
the Jewish Christian “Ineffable” [not rationally understood] Name of God
YHWH
which is composed of four consonants. If we think of vowels as
expressing “energy of thought” and “consonants” as expressing consciousness
of how to stop thought, Its four consonants can be thought to correspond to
four steps in a masculine process of “stopping thought” as opposed to the
three vowels A, U, M as three steps of a rational feminine process
of “activating thought.”*

See elsewhere in these discussion board postings my thoughts about
why it is possible to “OM” the Name of God YHWH [as opposed to Rabbi David
Cooper’s opinion about this]. Biblically, of course, we have already the
fundamental Name of Our Creator God YHWH Elohim, from the Book of Genesis,
Chapter One, which combines the vowels E or A, O, M or IM and consonants
Y,H,W,H.

Biblical prophetic “angel logic” teaches us that have a four-fold
righteous Dharma breakdown of God’s creative Truth into four parts:
1) Light of One increasing [archangel Ariel]
2) Light of the One without a second [archangel Ga briel]
3) Light of the Oneness of the reflection or transformation of the
Dharma [righteousness] in us
4) Light of the Oneness of the discrimination of God’s righteousness in
us

See elsewhere in these discussion board postings Mr. James Dillet
Freeman Unity School of Christianity 12 step top-down [1st chakra down to
the
root chakra] for a set of verbal affirmations related to prophetic
expression
of these root categories of our Divine thought concepts.

According to Patanjali, in Chapter One of his sutras [I.27], and
Bernard Bouanchaud in his book…”Reflections on Yoga Sutras”, the Word OM as
the Name of God [the essence of omnipotence] is not creator God*, the sutras
then go on to give a 4-step meditation [I.42,I.43,I.44] to slow the mind
down
on some external object, of seed, OM, for instance, in order to let Divine
superconscious mind come in.

This assertion is in agreement with the Biblical teaching in the
Book of John, that the Son or second person of the Trinity [Jesus Christ the
Savior of us] being the “WORD” or “OM” is not the Father or Creator of us.
1) Savitarka meditation or meditation with speech
2) Nirvitarka meditation or meditation without speech
3) Sabija meditation or meditation with seed
4) Nirbija meditation or meditation without seed

So, that gives us a four-step and four-part [eightfold meditation]
inside of the Name of God [the concept of everything associated with Him or
Her as they speak Divine Prophetic Truth.

There are some differences between Patanjali’s and Mr. Bouanchaud’s
explanation of meditation of the Name of God OM, and the Hebrew
Christian “Elohim” Name of God in the first chapter of Genesis. They say
that the Word of God OM is the “seed of omniscience” [Jesus Christ the Son
of
God] but not our Creative Father. According to Genesis Elohim is the Name of
God expresses itself their as our Creative Father God. But, miraculously
these differences are reconciled if we study the Gospel of Book of John,
where we are taught that the Word [Jesus Christ] was with God [our Father]
in
the beginning and of all things that were created, none was created without
Him[or Her].

The actual words spoken in Sanskrit during the process of prophetic
creation can also be broken up as mantras into another four-steps.
1) Tat Tvam Asi “That thou art”.
2) Ayam Atma Brahma “This soul [of you, me, us] is Brahma [the creator
God].
3) Aham Brahma Asmi “I AM [and hence you are also] Brahma [God who
created us]”.
4) Prajnam Brahman “This Wisdom [which has just been created by us
speaking and thinking about it over time] is Brahman [Our Creator God].

And, also according to Patanjali and Mr. B. Bouanchaud, in
Chapter 3 [III.7, III.8] of the suras it is explained that the above 8 step,
four stage meditations are external thought about knowledge, while we have a
further process of 3-stage [the final 3 limbs, the first five limbs of
positive and negative ethical behavior, posture or asana, breathing,
withdrawal of senses being already assumed to have happened and are not
counted in or scheme of 17-part [15 or 3x5 dimensions of what Mr. Bouanchaud
calls the extraordinary power of God’s thought which we know according to a
Standard Yogic scheme of how the Tantra of God’s Holy Spirit dwells in us.

This would mean starting in the 3rd chakra or throat chakra moving down
from the 1st or Sahasraha chakra of a “seer” or prophet meditator. And,
there
would be 2 dimensions for a “inner seer” and us to comprehend it all
knowingly] meditative prophetic, absolutely Truthful Realization of God’s
will being represented in one of us and all of us . This Samyana [pervading
concentration of thought] would express itself internally, as part of God’s
Holy Spirit dwelling in us. And, it would happen before we reach final
Samadhi which is Divine prophetic Realization of God’s Eternal and absolute
Truth dwelling in us forever [not just in the present moment]. If we expand
the final 2 dimensions into 11 dimensions [ in a 6+5 fold scheme] then we
have the full 26 dimensions of God’s Name YHWH determined from the
Kabbalah’s
letter number correspondences.

1)Ekagrata [free flowing of meditation] III.11,III.12
2)Nirodha [cessation of meditation] III.9
3) Samadhi [concentration of meditation neither without dwelling outside,
and discriminatively separate of God, but also with Unitive Reality of God
having an individual representive…dwelling in us]
III.3,III.11,III.37

2nd set of comments on this topic:

Because of the 1st Commandment “You shall have no other gods before me[ or
besides me]” Exodus 34:14 God has made it very clear to Christian Jews that
we are not to worship Him in the order of many Gods to One God, or in the
order of One God to Many Gods. But, He Himself is One God, who is the Lord of
many [the hosts of angels and men]. This is a not so subtle [because it is
the 1st and hence one of the main commandments of the religion. And, it is
reflected in us when we say at the start of our daily prayers, “Our Father
Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name”. We do not start the prayers in the
2nd chakra of our psyches, but in the 1st or top chakra in Heaven and the 7th
chakra or earth, together which become God dwelling in us in Earth as it is
in Heaven. These prayers then ascend in or spirits up to the 6th chakra
[called the 2nd in a bottom up scheme]. But, they do not start, as in some
kundalini yoga schemes in the 7th chakra, earth, and ascend up to the 6th,
then 5th and so forth. Thus, when Jesus told Saint Andrew in the Gospels,
that your soul must “fall to the ground” [the 1st chakra] before it is reborn
or redeemed in the 1st He meant that it that it will be redeemed in the
second chakra, after it is reborn from the 1st and 7th, not as it is reborn
from the 7th.
Hence, if someone asks you, “Where do you come from?”, Say to
them, “I come from above, where I live with the Peace Dove[Our Mother Mary]”,
not “I come from below”.
A further subtle, but not inconsequential difference in understanding of
God’s with OM appearing in it for Christian Jews from Hindu Yogis, occurs
when we enter the realm of meditation on angels and archangels. This can
determine whether the spirits of these angel and archangel spiritual
messangers are good, bad, or neutral[neither good nor bad]. Swami
Satchidananda in his commentary on the 1st chapter of the Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali, a key yoga text, adds the phrase “seed of separation” as a
translation of the single word “sabija” to his translations of sutras 40 to
the end of the chapter. This small change can make the difference in whether
we are thinking with and about the archangel Gabriel [who is just a seed] or
the archangel Michael [who is a separate seed] when these Divine thought
mixed with un-Divine thoughts enter our minds.
The fifth step, out of eight of the Yoga method of contemplation (realizing
Divine thoughts outward in the world through our own meditations and action)
is attention or mindfulness, dharana. It is usually translated as fixation on
a fixed point of thought, after withdrawal of the senses from objects, and
hence moving toward our inward spirits[pratyahara, the fourth step]. For,
Buddhist’s mindfulness means not necessarily withdrawing from the world, but
paying attention to its subtle aspects in the present moment [which by a
previous sutra contains also both the past and the present]. But, for Yogis
pratyahara means both mindfulness and faith [which Buddhist’s do not
emphasize at this point in meditation steps]. Mindfulness and faith can be
spiritual powers or reflections of two different truths that we have when our
hearts are open to them, and they often occur best simultaneously, as God’s
Holy Spirit turns the dharma (righteous truth inside of our spiritual bodies).
The sixth and seventh step are Dhyana, a flow of meditative understanding of
One object or thought being realized, and Samadhi or concentrative
contemplative on God’s truth being realized realized perfectly and controlled
by us and God inside and outside of us, either happening simultaneously or
separatedly, prophetically as a goal as a result of a cause or unexpectedly
and uncaused except by God’s grace like a miracle as explained and discussed
in chapter I’s definition of different types of Samadhi.
The caused by us part of these powers can occur in our spiritual bodies
represented God’s Holy Spirit as discussed in Sutras III.30, the power of
divine speech manifested through contemplation of how it move downward from
of our throats.; Sutra III.31 manifesting stability in our and God’s Holy
Spirit as it moves from the throat through our bodies’ thorax; Sutra.32
manifesting itself as Spiritual. Communion with realized spiritual [hopefully
heavenly beings] in the top chakra or sahasraha; Sutra III.34 as it
manifests itself in spiritual understanding of the contents of other’s minds
inside of the heart chakra; Sutra III.40 as it manifests itself in the
collecting or assimilation and radiant integration of other’s spiritual souls
and spirits in God’s and ours in the ‘hara’ or third chakra, the chakra of
Divine will being represented inwardly from the heavenly Holy Spirit
outwardly into the world by a man or woman of God.
These few small spiritual powers of our own manifesting in our selves should
be compared to the much greater ones of God occurring through us and some of
which are listed in the Old and New Testament: for instance 1) Wisdom, 2)
Understanding, 3) Knowledge, 4) Love, 5) Healing, 6)Prophecy, 7)
Discernment of the nature of souls and spirits, 8)Understanding of many
languages, 9) Faith, 10) Hope, 11)Righteous judgement, 12)Eternal Peace and
happiness coming from obedience to God’s knowledge of how God’s will is
fulfilled by what we have done to help others and Him or her in our lives.
