Why Your Body Is NOT Needed After Enlightenment

this will be sensitive and you may feel a bit uncomfortable at first but that's okay you'll learn I will be talking about life and death and if the latter truly even exists for a soul in the first place I'm going to be explaining the body and how useless it'll become on your ultimate transition if ascended properly if you miss any key detail you will completely misunderstand everything I'm about to say so please listen in intently there's a lot of nuance when it comes to spiritual attainment and on the path of a Mystic your body is

actually just a tool used for the development of the spirit but before that remember you don't have to just believe everything I say I will be telling you about Ascension drawing from the Mystic teachings of the Tibetan Book of the Dead the upanishads and The Emerald Tablets of tahuti regardless please learn through your own experience and do much more research Beyond this video now with that being said your purpose in life is to leave your body to ascend Beyond it in full awareness of all lives previously experienced you as the soul are Immortal you exist

in human form currently but you aren't human breathe listen The Emerald Tablets of tahuti the oldest ancient tablet known to man dating back over 36,000 years ago it lays it out for us tahuti says man ye think that ye liveth but know it is life within death for as sure as ye are bound to your body for you know life exists breathe let that bubble in your brain for a minute this isn't a metaphor or a poetic expression it's the truth about our existence what we perceive as life is actually a form of death our

attachment to this physical body is what's keeping us from experiencing true life the tablets are very direct when they say only the soul is is space free has life that is really a life all else is only a bondage a Fetter from which to be free think consider this every moment you identify solely with your body you're choosing a limited existence you're choosing death over life the physical form you inhabit is a temporary vessel a constraint on your true nature a testing ground designed to help develop you as the soul it's actually like trying to

contain the ocean in a cup your true self you as the soul are vast and boundless you exist beyond the confines of space and time I say you as Soul instead of your soul because you are the soul inside of your body the possessive pronouns must be right and aside from the pronoun thing you being the soul is the whole point of this video the upanishads introduce us to the concept of Atman your Eternal unchanging self that exists beyond the physical body this isn't a comforting belief your Atman is your actual real self what you

perceive as your current physical existence is merely a temporary state that this eternal self is experiencing the brihad daraku panad one of the oldest and most revered States lead me from the unreal to the real from Darkness to light from Death to immortality this isn't a plea for salvation it's a road map for realizing your true nature the unreal refers to the illusory physical world while the real is the Eternal unchanging atmin breathe think feel the chandogya upanishad introduces us to the truth of Tatam AI thou art that this isn't just a poetic sentiment it's

a direct statement about the nature of reality you're not separate from the universal Consciousness your individual self your Atman is one with Brahman the Ultimate Reality but the upanishads go even further the mandukya upanishad describes four states of Consciousness waking dreaming deep sleep and tia Tera is the fourth state transcending the other three it's pure Consciousness beyond all change and Duality the upanishads aren't ask asking you to believe they're inviting you to know through direct experience they provide practices like self-inquiry and meditation to help you realize these truths for yourself when the Kina upanishad asks

by whom willed and directed does the Mind light upon its objects it's not present a riddle it gives you a method to trace Consciousness back to its source remember these teachings aren't separate from those of tahuti or the Tibetan sages they're all pointing to the same ultimate truth your essential nature is boundless Eternal Consciousness your physical existence is a temporary experience of this eternal self realizing this isn't just Enlightenment it's Awakening to what you've always been breathe let's try something together close your eyes right now focus on your breath as you breathe notice the sensations

in your body now ask yourself who's observing these Sensations that awareness that Consciousness observing your physical experience that's you as the atmin your true self observing this temporary physical experience pay attention to the quality of awareness itself it's unchanging isn't it thoughts come and go go Sensations arise and pass away but the awareness of observing all of this remains constant that's your true nature unchanging Eternal Consciousness if you're going to look at life beyond the body differently then give us a like And subscribe we'll help you navigate the Beyond while you help us as well

now let me tell you about transcending the [Music] physical let me tell you about the ti WR Book of the Dead it describes a state called the Bardo it's a real state where Consciousness exists without a physical form but actually it's not just something that happens after death it's a state you can actually access through deep meditation and spiritual practice the BTO isn't just one state it's a series of states that Consciousness moves through there's the BTO of dying the Bardo of dharmata Ultimate Reality and the Bardo of becoming each of these states offers an

opportunity for Liberation if you're prepared to recognize the true nature of reality your Consciousness isn't confined to your body in the BAU State your Consciousness is free from physical limitations you're no longer constrained by space and time as we understand them reality becomes fluid malleable and perceived in ways that are impossible for our physical senses this isn't figurative it's a real experience that awaits those who can access this state tahuti says cast off your body oh man and be free truly a light that is one with the light this is a literal instruction you can

shift your identification from this temporary physical form to your Eternal nature as Consciousness breathe let's practice something from the Tibetan tradition of zogin this isn't just a visualization it's a way to experience your true nature sit comfortably and close your eyes breathe deeply now recognize your Consciousness as a point of Light Within your body with each breath expand that light let it fill your entire body then extend beyond it expand it to fill the room the building and the entire planet this isn't imagination you're experiencing your true nature as vast boundless awareness as you do

this pay attention to the quality of this expanded awareness notice how it's not limited by boundaries it doesn't stop at the edges of your body it encompasses everything this is your true nature boundless all encompassing Consciousness now as you continue this practice imagine encountering different experiences within this expanded awareness Pleasant experiences unpleasant experiences neutral experiences notice how the awareness itself remains unchanged regardless of what it's experiencing this is a key insight for navigating the Bardo States the recognition that your true nature remains unchanged regardless of what experiences arise breathe think feel that expansion this is

who you really are if you feel the weight behind what I'm saying then leave a comment below now let me talk about coming free from the cycle of [Music] rebirth so why does this matter what's the point of transcending the physical the answer lies in the concept of Liberation or Moka as it's known in Indian traditions this isn't a metaphorical Liberation it's a real tangible freedom from the cycle of birth and death the upanishads teach us that true Liberation comes from realizing your Oneness with universal Consciousness when you achieve this state you're no longer bound

by the cycle of birth and death you're free from the limitations of physical existence this isn't symbolic it's a real state of being that you can achieve breathe think consider this every time you're born into a physical body you're subjecting yourself to limitation to suffering to death Liberation means breaking free from this cycle it means recog izing your true nature as Eternal boundless Consciousness and no longer being compelled to Incarnate into limited physical forms The Emerald Tablets aren't speaking figuratively when they say no you man ye are only a spirit the body is nothing the

soul is all this is the literal truth of your existence your body is a temporary vehicle but you as the soul your true self is everything let's practice something from the adva vidanta tradition this isn't a mental exercise it's a way to align yourself with the truth of your existence each morning before you get out of bed remind yourself I am not this body I am Eternal Consciousness temporarily experiencing life through this physical form feel into the truth of these words notice how your identification shifts from The Limited body to the vast boundless Consciousness that

you truly are notice how this shift in identification changes your perspective on the challenges and experiences of your daily life breathe think feel the truth of this statement this isn't positive thinking or affirmation it's a recognition of what you truly [Music] are the Tibetan Book of the Dead provides insights into existence beyond the physical form in the Bardo State Consciousness encounters various apparitions and experiences these aren't metaphors or symbols they're real experiences that Consciousness goes through in this state in the B of dharmata for example Consciousness encounters what is described as peaceful and wrathful deities

these aren't external entities but manifestations of your own mind the peaceful deities represent the enlightened aspects of your nature while the wrathful deities represent the trans formative power of wisdom breathe the text emphasizes the importance of recognizing these apparitions as projections of our own minds this isn't a psychological trick it's the key to successfully navigating the Bardo leading to Liberation or a favorable rebirth if you can recognize the true nature of these apparitions in the BAU that they are projections of your own mind you have the opportunity to break free from the cycle of rebirth

if you can't you'll be drawn towards another rebirth based on your karmic Tendencies we can apply this understanding in our daily lives here's a practice from Tibetan Buddhism when you encounter challenging situations or emotions pause and remind yourself this is a projection of my mind really examine the situation or emotion notice how your mind is creating a story around it giving it meaning and significance can you see how this story is a projection of your own thoughts and beliefs can you recognize the underlying awareness that's observing all of this breathe think feel the shift in

perspective this brings this isn't Just A coping mechanism it's a recognition of the true nature of your [Music] reality one of the most revealing and transforming stories touti details in the tablets is this he says these are lights that are souls among men growing and fading existing forever changing yet living through death into life this is a factual account of the nature of souls each soul is on a journey of evolution some Souls burn brightly having accumulated wisdom and spiritual power over many lifetimes others flicker weakly still early in their evolutionary path but All Souls

are part of the same Divine Light all are on the path to Greater awareness and power tahuti further observes steadily upward throughout the ages growing expanding into yet greater flame lighting the darkness with yet greater power quenched yet unquenched by the veil of the night this is a literal description of how Souls evolve over multiple lifetimes breathe feel each life experience each challenge overcome and each Insight gained contributes to the growth of the soul the veil of the night the periods between incarnations May temporarily dim the Soul's light but cannot extinguish it the soul continues

its Journey Life After Life growing ever brighter and more powerful let's do a practice from the Hermetic tradition based on tahou's teachings this isn't just visual ation it's a way to connect with yourself as the soul and your true nature close your eyes and recognize you as the soul as a flame within you with each breath see and feel this flame growing brighter and stronger feel it expanding beyond your body connecting with with the Flames of all other beings all part of the universal fire of Consciousness reflect on your life experiences how have they contributed

to the growth of you as the soul Can You Feel The accumulated wisdom and power from all your past experiences can you sense the potential for further growth and expansion breathe think feel the warmth and power of this inner flame this is your actual soul growing and [Music] evolving now here's a truth from these ancient teachings enlightened beings can choose whether to take rebirth or remain in formless Realms a real option available to those who have achieved a certain level of Spiritual Development let me say that again enlightened beings can choose whether to take rebirth

or remain in formless Realms the Tibetan Book of the Dead describes how at the moment of death those who have prepared themselves through spiritual practice can recognize the true nature of reality and make a conscious choice about their next step in existence this isn't symbolic it's a real process that occurs for prepared individuals breathe if you've developed enough awareness in spiritual power you're not at the mercy of unconscious karmic forces at the moment of death you can choose to be reborn in a form that allows you to continue your spiritual work or you can choose

to remain in formless Realms of pure consciousness this Choice isn't made just at the moment of death it's prepared for throughout life every moment of awareness Every Act of compassion every insight into the nature of reality is preparing you for this ultimate Choice let's try a practice from the Tibetan tradition of fawa this isn't just a thought experiment it's a way to prepare for the moment of death at various points throughout your day pause and ask yourself if this were my last moment moment in this body what would I choose more physical existence or Liberation

into pure Consciousness as you contemplate this really feel into each option what would it be like to choose another physical Incarnation what experiences might you seek what spiritual work might you continue and what would it be like to choose Liberation into pure Consciousness can you imagine the freedom the boundless awareness breathe think let this question guide your actions and priorities this practice is preparing you for the choice you'll face at the moment of death your body is a temporary vehicle and your Consciousness is eternal your goal isn't to metaphorically transcend the body but to realize

your true nature as boundless Eternal awareness keep questioning keep exploring don't take these teachings on Blind Faith experience them for yourself meditate contemplate practice let your own direct experience confirm the truth that these ancient teachings point to the path of Awakening is the purpose behind your existence in this physical form Awakening leads to having the option to leave your body at will you're here to remember who you truly are and were all the lifetimes you've experienced and you can break free from the illusion of limitation to realize your Oneness with all that is
