2020 Thai Pusam Abhishekam

Vel Muruga!

Several days ago our monks observed an abhishekam for Lord Murugan on Thai Pusam. Satguru arrived back from his travels that very same morning and was able to attend. Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami performed the abhishekam assisted by Nirvani Tejadevanatha and the younger monks. Lord Murugan was bathed in milk, yogurt, honey, citrus and more. His blessings were invoked, as the prana from these substances is reflected back into the auras of those who are present (and mentally present) during the final arati. Aum Saravanabhava Aum.

\"You must not think the superconscious mind is way out of your reach simply because of the word super, because it is quite the contrary. It is within you. It has always been within you. All you have to do is to reprogram the subconscious a little and move awareness out of the conscious mind, and your journey is within.

You are superconscious now. You have to accept that. You do not have to \"get to be\" superconscious.

This is not something that is going to happen to you all of a sudden and then cause you to be different.

The thing that is going to happen to you is that you will release your individual awareness from the so-called bondages of the habit patterns of the external mind that it had been accustomed to flowing through.

Once it is released, you will automatically flow into other inner areas of the mind because you have been studying about them and now have the map clearly outlined for you.

You might be wondering why, if you are supposed to be superconscious right now, you have not had the wonderful experiences that I have told you about. This is easy to answer.

You may be superconscious now but not consciously superconscious all of the time, or even for long enough periods to have these beautiful experiences. So when I say you are superconscious right now, that is true, or you would not even be hearing about it.

It is no accident our meeting in this way to share some of my inner life and this particularly deep subject matter. It is providential, I would say, and has occurred at the proper time of your unfoldment on the path.

Though you are superconscious right now, awareness is still externalized enough that you touch into it only a little bit and then are pulled back to the subconscious or to the conscious mind.

Through regular practice of meditation, one learns to move awareness through the superconscious areas like a dancer learns to move across the stage according to the rhythm of the music.

It takes much practice for the dancer to acquire the technique in the preparation of himself to fulfill his calling.

He has to live a disciplined lifestyle.

It is the same for the contemplative.

He has to work with and exercise the currents of awareness so dynamically that he can flow into a superconscious area and remain there long enough to look around a little bit and enjoy it.
