The Testament Of
Secrets November 1991 Chapter 28 And Practice The One and Great Sacrament That Is
self-Surrendering, self-Forgetting, and self-Transcending
Feeling-Contemplation Of Me If You (As A Formally Acknowledged Practitioner Of The
Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart)
Are Prepared and Moved To Practice The Technically “Fully
Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart In Its Fourth
Practicing Stage (and, Perhaps, Then Even The Fifth), and If
Advanced True Prayer (Rather Than self-Enquiry) Is Already
Your Spiritual Practice In The Technically “Fully
Elaborated” Context Of The Way Of The Heart, Then Practice
Mahamantra Meditation In The Following Manner. Hold attention To The Ajna Center (Above and Behind the
brows) and silently (With “the tongue of the mind”) Invoke
My Spiritual Presence (and, Thus and Thereby, The Spiritual
Presence Of The Divine Person) Via The Three-Part Mahamantra
“Om Ma Da” (or, According To Your Firm Choice, Via Any One
Of The Mahamantra Variants I Have Given For Such Potential
Meditative Use By My Devotees). Do This With Devotional or
Heart-Feeling Concentration Above. Submit or Surrender or
Devote or Concentrate Even the entire body-mind, every
breath, all attention, and All Heart-Feeling At The Ajna
Center (or Door). Via The Mahamantra, Freely Feel and Allow
Feeling-attention To Become Contemplatively Concentrated On
My Spiritual Presence At The Ajna Door (Even, At First, Via
Heart-Felt Contemplation Of My Either Spontaneously Or
Intentionally Recollected Bodily Human Form, At The Ajna
Door). Do Not Concentrate On The “Meaning” Of The
Mahamantra. Do Not Indulge In conceptual thinking About The
Word-Signs. Do Not Indulge In any conceptual thinking. Let
The Word-Signs (and The Entire Process Of
Feeling-Contemplation) Totally Gather and Claim Your
attention (and, Thereby, Release You From all conceptual
thinking). Indeed, Let The Word-Signs Be Truly “Meaningless”
Syllables (or A Merely Feeling Gesture). Use Them To
Concentrate (and Yield) Feeling-attention Into My Revelation
Of The Spiritual Life-Current At The Ajna Door. (Thus, Allow
The “Meaningless” Syllables To Direct Your Feeling-attention
Toward Direct Participation In The Reality They Signify,
Rather Than To Isolation In the concepts They May
Suggest.) Truly, The Ajna Door Is Not So Much A Place As It Is A
Direction. Therefore, To Feel (and, Thereby, To Contemplate)
Me At The Ajna Door (Whether In The Context Of self-Enquiry
and Re-Cognition Or In The Advanced Context Of True Prayer)
Is Not Merely To Focus On A Spot (or An Area) In the brain
(Between and Behind the brows). Right Feeling-Contemplation
Of Me At The Ajna Door Is Always A “Going Beyond” Action,
Always Up and Back, Up and Back, Deeper and Deeper, Further
and Further. The Upward Motion Goes Beyond The Descending
Tendency, and The Backward Motion Goes Beyond The Tendency
To Move From The Spinal Line To The Frontal Line. The
Combination Of This Dual Upward (or Ascending) and Backward
(or Deepening) Gesture Leads attention Up The Center, and,
Up and Back, Toward The Upper Rear (or The pineal Region) Of
The Brain Core, and, Potentially (In The Highest
Demonstration Of The Fifth Stage Of Life In The Way Of The
Heart), To the upper rear of the top of the head, and
Beyond, To The Infinite Matrix (or Formless Source)
Above.
Of The Divine World Teacher
and True Heart-Master,
Da Avabhasa

In This Manner, Feel Me (and, Thus and Thereby, The Divine
Person and Condition) As Infinite and Self-Existing Mere
Being (Itself), Self-Radiant As Love-Bliss, Radiating
Attractively From Above (and, Thereat, Beyond) the
body-mind. Then, By Feeling Beyond The Mahamantra and all
objects (gross and subtle), Notice and Be Released Toward
The Soundless and Imageless Matrix (or Infinite Source)
Above, From Which and In Which The Mahamantra, The
Apparently Objective Spirit-Current, all internal or subtle
sensations, every thought, and every bodily or gross
sensation Are Apparently arising.
The Upward (“Advanced” Fourth Stage, and Also Fifth Stage)
Feeling-Concentration and Submission Of the Total
psycho-physical self Can Be Assisted By Whole bodily
Relaxation and The Random Practice Of Spirit-Conductivity In
The Circle (Especially By inhalation, Of and In The
Spirit-Current, Via The Spinal Line, Either From the bodily
base Or, From the solar plexus, Down to the bodily base, and
Then Up The Spinal Line). Even All Of The daily Cultural, As
Well As functional, practical, and relational, Disciplines,
Including Formal Sacramental Devotion (or Sat-Guru Puja),
Study, Service, Cooperative (and Formal Community)
Association (or At Least Significantly Participatory, and,
In Any Case, Fully Accountable, Cooperative Community
Affiliation) With Other (and Even All Other) Formally
Acknowledged Practitioners Of The Way Of The Heart, Yogic
bodily Exercise, Right Diet, and Either Sexual Communion (or
Even celibacy) In True Intimacy Or Formal Celibate
Renunciation, Must Serve This Meditative Sacrament, or
Living Prayer.
Unless Spontaneous (and Stable) Identification With The
Witness-Position Of Consciousness Intervenes (To Transfer
The Practice Of The Way Of The Heart To The Context Of The
Sixth Stage Of Life), Ascending Meditation (In The Way Of
The Heart) Has Become Effective When attention Is Released
From The gross Circuit Of the body-mind and Is Thus (In The
Context Of The Fifth Stage Of Life) Released Into The subtle
Reaches Of The Cosmic Domain, Above the brows. This Is
Signed By Suspension or Diffusion Of breath and bodily
Awareness, and The Awakening Of vision and audition in the
subtle field Above. Eventually (If The Same Process
Continues Above), Even Occasional verbal Invocation (Via The
Mahamantra, or Via Any Technically “Simpler”, or Even
“Simplest”, verbal Form Of True Prayer) Ceases (As Does Also
self-Enquiry, and Even The Non-verbal Process Of
Re-Cognition), and The Continuing Process Of The Ascent Of
attention May (or Would Eventually) Be Sublimely (but
conditionally) Fulfilled By Ascended Absorption In Formless
Love-Bliss.
Even So, Such Practice Of The Way Of The Heart Cannot Become
Ultimately (or Inherently, and Inherently Perfectly)
Effective, Unless attention Is (By Grace) Released Even From
subtle Perception, and Even From Ascending (or Ascended)
Penetration Of The Cosmic Domain. Therefore, By Grace,
attention Must (At Least Eventually) Release its Hold (and
Control) Of functions and objects (and others) and Be Freely
Dissolved In The Heart-Domain Of Consciousness Itself, To
The Degree That Consciousness Itself Realizes The “Bright”
(or The Divine Self-Domain Of Self-Existing and Self-Radiant
Love-Bliss, Even Beyond The Apparently Objective Vision Of
The Divine Star). Thus, In The Way Of The Heart, The
Ascending Process (Whether It Develops In The Technically
“Fully Elaborated” Context Of The Way Of The Heart Or,
Spontaneously, In The Technically “Simpler”, or Even
“Simplest”, Context Of The Way Of The Heart) Must Itself Be
Transcended In The “Perfect Practice” (or The Ultimate and
Inherently Perfect Process) That Proceeds Toward
Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual) Self-Realization
(and The Great Divine Realization Associated With Entrance
Into The Seventh Stage Of Life). And Even The Great
Realization Of The Seventh Stage Of Life Is (In The Way Of
The Heart) Progressively Demonstrated By The Signs (or
Events) Of Divine Transfiguration, Divine Transformation,
Divine Indifference, and, Finally, Divine Translation.
Therefore, In The Way Of The Heart, The Heart-Practice Of
self-Transcendence Becomes (or Must Become) A Progressively
Complete Culture (or Sadhana) Of Life, and All The Necessary
Signs Of The Way Of The Heart Must (and, Surely, Will)
Develop Progressively In That Practice, By Grace.
