Shiva Sutras
Contemplation from the Siva Sutra’s
The Siva Sutra was revealed to and written down by Vasugupta around 875-925 CE. Vasugupta was not a guru. He was an ordinary man who, through deep devotion and practice, was gifted this divine revelation.
There are 77 sutras and the text, which acts both as pointing out instructions and as view teachings, describes our true nature beyond mind- our Sva Svarupa. The sutrasinspire us to work with the mind and open up its boundaries.
Here is the first verse from the Siva Sutra for you to contemplate!“Caitanyam atma”Caitanyam means: consciousness, intelligence, pure awareness
Atma means: self, self-experience, principle of life, nature, essence, sensation, character
My teacher describes the self as not being a soul or spirit, an attribute or a thing! The self, he says, is best described as being a capacity or a function of the ultimate that comes through as energy and is not a discrete object. This means, that the individual exists as an emanation of essence (see translation of caitanyam above).
In non-dual Tantra, one of the powers of consciousness is its power for reflective self-awareness. As an emanation of essence/consciousness, this reflective self-awareness means that we have a knowing in us that something is happening. This self-knowing is extremely important, and is not an action initiated by an individual object towards a subject. Rather, this self-knowing is inherent in the subject and is an integral aspect of it. Given that the atman is not an attribute, then this is what makes our atman not a discrete object. And, my teacher goes on to explain that this verse is what destroys any sense of an ego!….phew…..this takes a lot of contemplation and some basic understanding of the view of non-dual Tantra to really understand. So I encourage you to sit with this verse and use it to contemplate in your meditation practice!
“Consciousness is my self” “
Consciousness is my essence”
“Consciousness is the principle of life”
“All we have and are is awareness”

I believe that avoiding ready-made foods would be the first step to be able to lose weight. They will taste excellent, but packaged foods have very little vitamins and minerals, making you consume more only to have enough electricity to get over the day. In case you are constantly feeding on these foods, transferring to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more electricity while eating less. Interesting blog post.

Many thanks for your post. I’d like to comment that the cost of car insurance differs from one scheme to another, due to the fact there are so many different issues which bring about the overall cost. As an example, the model and make of the automobile will have a large bearing on the price. A reliable aged family automobile will have a lower priced premium than a flashy fancy car.
Along with every little thing which appears to be developing throughout this particular area, your points of view tend to be quite exciting. Nonetheless, I am sorry, but I do not subscribe to your whole theory, all be it refreshing none the less. It seems to everyone that your opinions are not completely justified and in actuality you are your self not even thoroughly certain of your argument. In any event I did take pleasure in reading through it.

Great article post.Much thanks again. Awesome.
One thing I’d prefer to say is the fact before getting more personal computer memory, check out the machine directly into which it will be installed. In case the machine will be running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Applying a lot more than this would merely constitute a waste. Make sure that one’s motherboard can handle an upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.
