The rumination goes on.
The causal world, the world of ideas or thoughts, of conceptual frameworks, is the blueprint of the material world we know.
By tuning into any specific sphere of thought we would be able to understand how God designed the architecture of that specific issue.
Infinite wisdom and understanding can be achieved by tuning into a specific sphere of thought with all its subtleties. But I firmly believe that human brain in its present state of evolution is not able to do that. Maybe only higher intelligences in the astral and causal worlds are able to. We must be happy if we understand small parts of some vast sphere of thought.
While listening to many lectures of Yogananda’s monastics I often heard these terms used in a conceptual basis of understanding the make up of a human being and since we are talking about ‘spheres of thought’ and the topic keeps coming up here, I thought I would mention some of these spheres of thought. I specifically remember Ananadamoy speaking about certain features of thought in other lectures. Although in this video mccoy presented here, there was much more entertainment. One would have to consider the fact that Brother knew he would be being filmed and presented on a public platform that may record him for hundreds of years to come. And though his sermons for a smaller audience did not have so much ‘entertainment’ people did come to see him just to hear his anecdotes and testimonies of his experiences with Paramahansa Yogananda.
Now some of the causal realm ideas I heard Brother and other monks speak of in other sermons/lectures For instance below is listed the three body types and the traits of them or; Prakrita
Prakriti: Constitutional Traits that create body types.
Each of us has a unique combination of vata, pitta, and kapha that make us unique in the way we develop and in the way we interact with the world around us.
And in the SRF lessons these qualities are elements are mentioned and they are found to different degrees in the doshas ( see links below.)
There are five elements in Ayurveda: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. Rather than being chemical elements, these are better understood as conceptual representations of universal forces or ideas. Each element and their fundamental qualities* are described simply below:
Ether - the concept of empty space (Qualities: subtle, light, unstable)
Air - the concept of movement (Qualities: mobile, dry, light)
Fire - the concept of transformation and illumination (Qualities: hot, light, sharp)
Water - the concept of cohesion (Qualities: moist, flowing, heavy)
Earth - the concept of solidity and stability (Qualities: stable, heavy, dense)
https://www.intrepidayurveda.com/post/doshaguidehttps://simplehinduism.com/chapter-14-the-three-modes/I also recall Brother speaking about A jīvanmukta, literally meaning 'liberated while living',[1] is a person who, in the Vedānta philosophy, has gained complete self-knowledge and self-realisation and attained kaivalya (enlightenment) or moksha (liberation), thus is liberated while living and not yet died.[2][3] The state is the aim of moksha in Vedānta, Yoga and other schools of Hinduism, and it is referred to as jīvanmukti.[4][5][6]
Jīvanmuktas are also called ātma-jnāni (self-realized) because they are knowers of their true self (ātman) and the universal self, hence also called Brahma-jñāni. At the end of their lives, jīvanmuktas destroy remaining karmas and attain parāmukti (final liberation) and become parāmukta. When a jīvanmukta gives his insight to others and teaches them about his/her realisation of the true nature of the ultimate reality (Brahman) and self (Atman), taking the role of a guru to show the path of Moksha to others.
