I Am God - Santosh Jha (best books to read for success TXT) 📗

the ‘I’ shall be what a dominant element desires. A woman with predominance of element of imagination may be a good poetess, writer or a painter and naturally, her personality shall evolve in a way it is culturally commensurate for an artist. Suitably, she shall attract all such elements from external milieu, which aids and enhances her dominant choice of the element of imagination. Therefore, the element shall start defining her perspectives and personality. Her personality shall be the sub-conscious decider of her consciousness. Even her inner culture shall draw those elements from societal culture, which are of the same color, which her consciousness is. That is why probably her divinity shall also draw elements from her dominant element of imagination. Her consciousness defines her perspectives and in turn, her perspectives start shaping her consciousness. Divinity is a culture within her consciousness and its elements.

In India’s most revered spiritual book, Geeta, the Krishna, who is accepted as the incarnation of Vishnu, the God of nurturance and stabilization, says – “He who seeks me in whichever disposition, I meet him in the same facilitative consciousness”. This is the most impacting and futuristic expression of divinity ever made. Vishnu, the most popular and dominant God in Hindu religious traditions accepts something, which is what modern science keeps telling people about the core idea of divinity. What Vishnu says means – “divinity is the idealism of consciousnesses. It is a facility, a functional superposition of consciousness, which is the ultimate arriving for all subjective consciousnesses. Divinity is the dissolution of all dualisms and ultimate destination of all journeying consciousnesses, where all seven elements of consciousnesses merge into a singular super consciousness.”

Subjective consciousnesses of individuals are split between seven elements of consciousnesses. This dualism makes them confused and conflicted. This subjective consciousness, in its dualism and resultant conflict fails to see that divinity is nothing external to its consciousness, it is a realism within. As the ‘I Am’ feeling is conflicted and in a flux of dualism, his or her consciousness engenders the divide for him or her. He or she thinks, his or her God is some entity or function outside her faculties. The un-arrived and dualistic consciousness shall always seek divinity, his or her personal God outside her consciousness. The consciousness then unravels its own artistry of marvel and magic. It starts drawing similar elements from outside physical milieu and culture. If consciousness accepts the intangible element of divinity as outside entity, the subconscious layers of consciousnesses starts aligning with all similar and generic tangibles from the milieu and culture. You are what your perspectives are and your perspectives make what you are. Therefore, divinity when accepted as outside entity, engenders all external rituals and cultural necessities.

Arriving is all about mind training to lead the consciousness to a certain positioning or situationalism of complete reception, where all dualisms end. In all religions, the divinity tells people – “Stop seeing me, you shall see”, “stop searching me, you shall find”. Now, there are semantic conflations also in these words, apart from the dualism, which is purely a mind and consciousness positioning. One feels the dualism in the lines as it says to ‘stop’ doing something for its ‘fruition’. We must understand why there is no dualism in it.

The simple idea is, you and me cannot find or search God or love. It is there in whatever shape, color or positioning irrespective of our semantic and mental confusion about what and how God and love is. We get God and love not by finding or searching for it but by stopping doing it as, this leads us to be assimilated in God and Love, as both are in everything and everywhere. And the most important fact is that what we are searching and looking outside in the domain of mysticism and marvel is actually our own consciousness. You actually stop the dualism and conflict, the moment you stop looking outside. At this state of your consciousness, dualism stops and non-dualism is arrived at. The divinity is identified with and the super consciousness expresses this realism in the poorly designed human words of ‘I Am God”.

Both science and ancient wisdom talk about a singular facility, which leads us to this super consciousness, where “I Am God” expression becomes a realism. This intangible element is called ‘Will’. Will as an intangible element of consciousness grows like a seed in the soil of the subjective sense of ‘I Am’. The ultimate destination of this growth and personal evolution is expressed in terms of “I Am God”. This will is evolved in stages and each stage deals with another set of intangible. The evolution of will also goes through seven stages of personal growth. These seven stages are –

1. Innocence/Humility

2. Purpose/Utility

3. Deliberation/Self-exploration

4. Decision/Judgment

5. Affirmation/Acceptance

6. Planning/Readiness

7. Implementation/Arriving.

It has to be understood that ‘Will’ affects the evolution of the higher personality, not the sub-personalities. A whole range of intangibles like concentration, determination, patience, perseverance, courage, discipline, mastery, artistry, intensity, power, organization, integration, and synthesis are required for the process of evolution of the Will.

If you match these seven intangibles with the first classification of seven elements, owned by different deities, you can easily understand, how cyclical this causality of dualism is. These elements are similar. This reflects the realism that divinity is an intangible mechanism of reaching you your own potential as consciousness. This sums up as why, a consciousness, when arrives at the optimality of his or her potential as a consciousness, he or she reaches and merges with the singularity and here, ‘I’ is ‘Divinity’ – this realism is – “I Am God”.

In the chapters that follow, we shall talk about different expressions of the same idea of divinity.

The State Of Absolute Bliss And Being

Since time immemorial, inquisitive people with questions in their hearts spent huge amount of time and energy to find what is good, ideal and desirable for all humans and for all times to come. So much has been written and more than that remains to be realized through unwritten traditions as well as wisdom ingrained in the original nature.

Through the ages and in different stages of human knowledge and civilizations, to some great people were revealed the ‘unknowable’, which is the ultimate wisdom that ‘cannot be known but only be realized’. However, for the benefit of humanity to come, they created some ‘Beej Gyaan’ (seed words of wisdom), which is just a word or a set of words, written in some mantra format or a shloka. All such seed words reveal the realism that wisdom is singular and that’s why the notion of God is also singular.

One such all-encompassing and ultimate seed word is: sat-chit-anand (sachidanand)….

The three parts of the seed word means:

sat = absolute existence

chit = absolute consciousness

anand = absolute bliss….

The word in Sanskrit language is ‘mool’. We can say it means absolute but as it is; the words that humanity has designed cannot fully explain the deepest of meanings and therefore, we have to accept a range of words to arrive at the idea behind the seed-idea of sat-chit-anand. The Sanskrit word Mool means: primary, absolute, intrinsic, innate, natural, zero, anashakt, nisprih, akaam karm, mokhchha, etc.

The holistic-assimilative-integrative idea behind the seed word sat-chit-anand needs to be understood. Ancient wisdom points out to the causality of life and its idealism by this seed word of sat-chit-anand. It says that sat-chit-anand is a state of readiness, an arriving to a stage in life, which is the primary and continuous positioning of consciousness. It says – sat-chit-anand is the mool-swabhav, mool awastha, mool wyawastha and mool auchitya of life and living. This means – sat-chit-anand is the original and innate positioning, it is the absolute and ultimate arriving.

The modern and very contemporary scientific ideas of Psychosynthesis and Psychoenergetics also say the same thing. The core idea of this seed wisdom is that sat-chit-anand state of consciousness being the mool (original/primary/absolute) situation and position of life and living, it is already and well there in all living being. If this state of consciousness is primary and absolute, it is essentially the instinctive nature of beings. If this is your first skin, you do not have to create it, or find it, or teach it or learn it or propagate it. The sat-chit-anand consciousness we just have to have it. That is why it is also called the common sense of consciousness. This common sense is just there to be unraveled and realized.

Given this hypothesis that all realisms are within human being, deep inside the consciousness of all beings, then the derivative theory is arrived at and it says, “This is the state of God…this cosmic element is primary therefore all beings, acquiring life and consciousness have the seed element embedded within. All beings have this within them and that is why all have God within them. This is what the seed wisdom says. A super consciousness, which arrives at the state of sat-chit-anand, is in the primary/original/absolute disposition, positioning and situationalism. This super consciousness is sat-chit-anand. This consciousness, which engenders the sense of “I Am”, arrives at this sat-chit-anand state of consciousness, which is the state of God. This commonality, which happens because of the dissolution and merger of all layers of consciousneses into one singular super consciousness is the God state of being. It is only natural that a consciousness in such a state of divinity says, “I Am God”.

In the ancient Indian tradition, this evolution of the state of super consciousness, where all layers of consciousnesses merge into a singular and absolute consciousness, has been elaborated through a metaphor called ‘Chakra’ system. It symbolizes the rise and evolution of all six layers of consciousness into one singular super consciousness, where the sense of “I Am”, dissolves into the light of divinity. The same idea is elaborated by Psychosynthesis in terms of evolving different layers of consciousnesses into one singular higher consciousness.

The metaphor is essentially the same. The primary metaphor is of light and its spectrum of seven colors. The life-living consciousness is symbolized as one light source, very much part of the absolute source of the light of the divinity. However, when this light source enters through the prism of the physical milieus of nature, society and culture, it gets scattered into seven different colors. The seven colors symbolize the seven layers of the consciousness.

The seed wisdom is – the super consciousness, the sat-chit-anand state of being is like the primary source of light. This light is the primary and absolute state of the consciousnesses of all beings. This however gets scattered and then the seven shades of consciousnesses engender all types of conflicts, chaos and confusion. The evolution of being is to get back to this original and absolute state of singular light – the singular consciousness of sat-chit-anand. This original state of light is the consciousness of the divinity. At this original/absolute state, the sense of “I Am” merges with the primary energy and light of “God”. That is why when a being arrives at this super consciousness state, the natural expression to him or her is – “I Am God”.

An Open Letter To Dear God

Hi Dear God,

I know, which way people talk to you, but I wish to talk to you as an ‘equal’ as you know that I know that you are almost only my age….!

Do you wonder how…?

It is reasonably simple. It is actually my mind or call it my brain that is talking to you and the human brain has been in existence, in varying developmental stages, somewhere in the evolutionary neighborhood of 4.2 million years. And, it is almost your age, as somewhere back then you too were made to be born… so, we are better off as friends sharing ideas….!

Okay with you…? …. well then….!

You know that I know that the human brain is the best organized, most flexible, and highest functioning entity in the known universe. If one has to create a micro model of the vast and almost incomprehensible
